A/N: I have had the worst day ever! I spent the last seven hours being the
running crew in a dress rehearsal for our play. And they mean RUNNING
crew. Yesterday I spent seven hours building the set, the rest of the
techys barley even worked! I am carrying the entire techy group, putting
up with immature actors, and am sick of it!
But I got reviews! Oh, you don't know how glad that makes me. For any of you out they're whose reviews I haven't responded to, I didn't get your review. Sorry, I didn't want to let it set for more than two days. Oh, which way do you want me to write the story, from Cerinthia's view or some mysterious third person?
AuroraRose1: I don't know an Artemis and Juliet thing seems kind of weird. They're more like brother and sister. Besides, who would like to date their employer? I don't think he's met THE ONE. And yeah, Juliet is weird. I have had such an awful day! I just want someone to pat me on the back and say, there, I appreciate you.
SpicyHollyElf: number one, no way am I having a Cerinthia Arty romance! She lives in another world! How stupid could they be? Besides, they're going to be like brother and sister. And whenever she begins to check out a boy or the boy checks her out, Artemis is going to do the Big Brother thing and interfere. I don't have a brother; but then again, Artemis isn't normal, so the regular brother rules shouldn't apply.
Melody(): Don't worry, this chapter contains The Fairies. I am glad that you like my story do you like Cerinthia?
Orchid the Jupiter Adapt: Okay. Whatever floats your boat. Could you sign in when you review this chapter, cause I KNOW you're going to review, so I can just click on your name and read your stories? I can tell that you need mental help, I just didn't want to mention anything. Actually, I was planning on asking which text I should do my story, one vote for first person, why do you like it that way? You like cowboys? Well (glances around her nervously before leaning in and whispering) I want to marry a cowboy.
Angelgirl10: (I cringe as you yell at me) I did, I'm sorry! I thought it would be fun. (whimper) please don't hit me. Wait, you liked it, DON'T SCARE ME LIKE THAT!!!
Fuuga Kumi: I, um, have a very good reader, I just didn't use it. (Becomes very interested in leaves around her feet.) Sorry (Mumbled). But you'll notice that I spell checked this one! Yeah, I wrote that chapter at twelve at night, I wasn't thinking straight. Also, I don't have a thesaurus. Thanks for the review, even if it was kinda nasty. But it's nice to get a, you-need-to-work-on-something review.
YOU HAVE TO ANSWER THIS!!!!!!!! EVERYONE, should I switch back to the first person text, or keep going as I am? Why? PLEASE ANSWER!!! ************************************************************************
After a long drive, in silence I might mention, they finally reached Artemis' house.
Cerinthia immediately jumped out of her doorway and ran over to Artemis', "And another thing, I don't need you constantly sneering at me! You're not so god almighty wonderful that you can't make mistakes."
"Butler!" Artemis yelled in an annoyed voice.
"Oh no, uh uh, I'm not in the car anymore, he won't do anything!" that's when Butler picked her up and threw her over his shoulder. "What do you think you're doing?" she yelled while Butler carried her over to a snow pile. "No, now you really don't want to do that do you?" She crooned to him her voice low and reasoning. Butler snorted. "No, no no no." she yelled before trailing off when she was dumped unceremoniously in the snow pile.
Artemis let out a dry chuckle, as he watched Cerinthias struggles to get out of the snow. "Thank you Butler," he said in a surprised tone. "I must admit that I.had not expected that." He said, sounding slightly shocked and confused.
"That is it, DIE!" Cerinthia yelled while stuffing a huge handful of snow down Artemis' back. Soaking the back of his trademark spotless black Armani suit, she was rewarded by an undignified squeak from Artemis. She gave Butler a considering look, but rejected the idea of attempting to snowball him.
Artemis suddenly grabbed Cerinthia and threw him over his shoulder. "What, you shouldn't be strong enough to do that!" Cerinthia yelled, her voice full of confusion.
"I worked out." Artemis said darkly before swinging her off his shoulder, into the snowpile and completely burying her in one quick, efficient movement. He immediately grabbed Butler and ran for the door, Butler looking at him in shock. "Quick, we must lock all of the doors before she recovers." He yelled to Butler as he entered the house.
"No!" Cerinthia yelled, her slender body quickly detaching itself from the pile. She was soon sprinting through the deep snow to Artemis' back door. Her slender feet easily puncturing the snow's surface, and leaving without a struggle. As soon as she reached the back door she heard a click. Her expression hardened, she leaned back and set herself firmly on the ground before taking a deep breath. "ARTEMIS! LET ME INTO THE HOUSE IT'S CHRISTMAS! I CAN"T BELIEVE YOU"D DO THIS TO ME!" And so on, her volume loud but her tone was pleading and despairing. Her eyes grew wide and she began to cry silently continuing her pleas for entrance.
"Artemis! You let the girl in this instant! How could you." Cerinthia heard, the last words muffled as the bolt was drawn and the door opened.
She was greeted by the sight of an abashed Artemis and his angry mother. FOALY grinning widely behind them. "Thank you Mrs. Fowl." Cerinthia said pitifully, her all to real shivers adding to the effect.
"Of course dear, I don't know what my SON was thinking." Angeline returned before leaving them.
"I have to admit, you acted very well." Artemis told her coolly, as if noting her performance in a play.
Cerinthia just gave him a shocked look before heading into the house. Her hair was matted with snow, and her clothing lined with ice. She was blue around the lips and shivering uncontrollably.
"Artemis really, this poor girl is chilled to death! What where you thinking?" exclaimed Holly, stepping out of the shadows and handing a freezing Cerinthia a cup of hot chocolate.
"Th-th-thank you," Cerinthia stuttered, her shivering affecting her speech.
Artemis stood off to one side looking upset, and more than a little ashamed. Cerinthia pulled herself together and swept down the hallway like a queen. She treated Artemis like a bug, to disgusting to be worthy of a glance. (A/N: and serves him right too!)
Holly soon followed suit, and Foaly just gave him a pitying look before walking towards the lounge.
Meanwhile, Cerinthia had entered her room and found all of her clothing laid out and ready for use. She took a long HOT shower before changing into some dry clothing. She quietly left her room musing over Artemis' parent's knowledge of the fairies. "This is going to be one hellava good fourth book," she murmured. Cerinthia stopped at the top of the stairs, her long hair glistening and flowing down her back. Her slender body was encased in a deep green patchwork velvet skirt. It fell to her ankles and outlined her body beautifully. A black silky blouse accompanied it, and the only thing adorning her hair was a simple hair clasped that held a half "ponytail". Her only jewelry was a silver heart locket, that was given by her father (She had been wearing it when sent to Artemis' world), was a sharp contrast to her dark apparel. It went beautifully with her silvery gold hair.
As she entered the lounge, everyone stopped and just looked at her for a few seconds. Cerinthia stood there, unconsciously graceful, even if her discomfort was obvious. "What? You are all starring at me as if a was an elf or something." She said nervously.
"Sorry, you just look really nice in that outfit," replied Holly, her tone making it a fact, not complement.
"Um thanks, I think." Cerinthia replied her manner gentle and shy. As she walked over to the couch she noticed Foaly, "Oh, by the way Foaly, just a random thought, Slime Frog and Orchid the Jupiter Adept think you're the best character ever. Just thought you'd like to know that."
@#$%I am now switching back to first person, for a while, until this chapter is over at least. I hope you're happy Orchid the Jupiter Adept.@#$%
Foaly looked at me with a slightly pleased expression on his face, though he tried to hide it. "Whose Slime Frog and Orchid the Jupiter Adept?" He asked, his face betraying his curiosity.
"They're authors on fanfiction, don't ask, just hold the happy thought that you have fans, close to you." I told him, I'm sure that my face betrayed my amusement. Artemis was looking at me as if I was crazy. I wasn't ready to forgive him for locking me outside yet, so I turned my back on him. "Hey, how come Artemis' parents know about you?"
"That is none of your concern." Artemis told me sharply, cutting of Holly as she had begun to open her mouth. He glared daggers at me.
'What's going on, we had gotten along fine during the mall?' I thought, thoroughly confused. 'Well, if he wants to play that game, I'm more than happy to return the favor.' Holly was giving us a considering look, and Foaly was smirking. 'All right, they know I'm going to make Artemis' life a living hell if he doesn't fix his act soon.' I thought. Artemis scowled at me before turning around and starting a highly technical conversation with Foaly. I got up and switched on the TV and changed the channel to one with Rudolf the Red Nosed Rain-deer playing. I settled myself against the couch and listened to everyone drone on around me. Before I knew it I was looking up and Artemis was shaking me awake. "What, what is it, I'm up I'm up." I mumbled, beginning to sit up, I was exhausted. "What time is it?"
"It's ten thirty," he replied, watching me closely.
"Oh, I'm not up. I take that back. I'm SO not up." I told him while falling back on to the couch, I was asleep within five seconds. The next thing I knew was hearing a chuckle similar to Foaly's and realizing someone was carrying me. "What, who." tried before looking up and seeing that Artemis was carrying me.
"It's time for dinner, we always have a late Christmas dinner." He told me, still carrying me to the dinning room.
"Okay," I said while my stomach emitted a growl. "I can walk."
"No you can't, I managed to get you up five times, you fell asleep immediately each time."
"Then why don't you just let me go to sleep?" I asked while trying to stifle a yawn.
"You need to have dinner," he replied simply.
"Whatever." I replied while trying to get out of his arms and walk the rest of the way. He didn't even have to try to hold me in, just gave me a light jolt and continued carrying me. Strangely enough through all of this, I felt no stragness. You know, how if a guy does something that could be translated as romantic. For some reason when Artemis did this it was brotherly not romantic. "If I can't walk, what makes you think I'll manage to eat without going to sleep?" I asked him.
"I don't, but I'll get a good laugh." He replied with a smile. "I'd have to take pictures."
"Uh!" I grunted in an offended tone. But I really found this quite amusing. "Why do you always wear that suit?"
"That's a little random don't you think." He commented while setting me down by the table. The Fairies where all staring at us.
"Oh come off it, it's not like we where sucking face or anything." I burst out angrily.
"I'm not so sure about that." Foaly replied.
I gave him the mother of all glares, the fog around my mind beginning to clear.
