An: I really miss my book 1. My computer nerd has it and I need it for the
prophecy. Who's translated it? I have I have! Gnomish is fun to write in.
To bad there isn't a way to write it in Word documents. Anyway, I think
Arty is a bit ooc in this one. You people be the judge. This format is odd.
Sorry, computer is nuts. Also, the italics will be between "There was something about that girl that was vaguely familiar. I can't
quite put my finger on it.
It was probably nothing.
Butler was awful smug once we were out of earshot. He kept chuckling to himself and tried to suppress a grin. Once we were in the dorm he went on about how I was truly growing up and that my father would be extremely proud when her hears that I've made a 'little friend.'
I shot back at him, "You think I fancy her?"
"Do you?"
I paused. Do I?
We only just met. Could it be that I *am* fond of her? She was pretty, her eyes were a little cold, but she was pretty.
I shook my head. "Don't be ridiculous." I don't like her that way. "We just have common feelings." Yes, that's it. Common ideas. After all, we only just met.Just as I suspected, I am a Mud Person. I'd never seen one before so I couldn't jump to conclusions, but I figured I was.
The People obviously kept me with them heir magic doesn't work on me. I'd be a dangerous weapon against them.
They should have told me. Instead, they kept me locked away.
It's funny how one piece of information can unlock so much emotion. I didn't think I could feel anymore. Now, I-I don't know how I feel.
Betrayed?
Where should my loyalties lie?Night time sharpens, heightens each sensation Darkness stirs and wakes imagination Silently the senses abandon their defences Helpless to resist the notes I write For I compose the music of the night...Let me fall, Let me climb, There's a moment when fear and dreams must collide.
Someone I am is waiting for courage, The one I want, The one I will become will catch me.
So, let me fall, If I must fall, I won't heed your warnings, I won't hear them.
All I ask, All I need, Let me open whichever door I might open.Let me fall, And if I fall, All the feelings may or may not die.
I will dance so freely, Holding onto to no one, You can hold me only if you too will fall, Away from all, These useless fears and chains.
Someone I am is waiting for my courage, The one I want, The one will become will catch me.
So let me fall, If I must fall, I won't heed your warnings, I won't hear.
Let me fall, And if I fall, There's no reason to miss this one chance, This perfect moment, Just let me fall.
Artemis opened his eyes to watch Diana's fingers dance. His eyes stopped on her necklace. He let out a short gasp. Immediately, he shot up out of his seat. Startled, Diana stopped playing. "What's wrong? Artemis?"
Artemis pointed with a trembling finger to the necklace. His breath came in short gasps. Butler was by his side in seconds. He dropped to his knees, putting his head in his heads. "Memories. the People. LEP" His eyes rolled to the back of his head and he slumped to the floor.
Butler bent down and picked up his principal. Artemis was never tall for his age, though starting around when Arty turned fourteen he began to grow. Though, for Butler, 5'5" was nothing to the man giant. Once Artemis was held firmly in Butler's arms, the bodyguard turned to Diana. She looked as if she had seen a ghost.
'How do they know?' she thought. The 15-year-old girl placed a hand on her necklace. She followed Butler to Artemis' dorm. ***
Artemis' Dorm
Once Artemis was safely laid on his bed, Butler sat down to rest. His breathing was labored and his hand was placed on his chest.
Diana was sitting beside the bed one hand on her necklace, the other holding Artemis' hand. Artemis was tossing and turning on the bed, he head was drenched in sweat as he fought what could only be a disturbing dream. Diana's eyes were distant, contemplative. She looked down at the only person she had ever called "friend." 'Could there be other Mud Men that know about Haven? I should call for back up,' her finger lingered on the button hidden on the necklace, 'I won't. The Mud Man's knowledge and the People's ignorance could be used to my advantage. The two were obviously mind-wiped, but that can easily be altered.'
Butler glanced worriedly at his principal and then at Diana. Diana was the first to speak, "Do you know anything about what he said?"
Butler looked up. "Vaguely. I know those names from somewhere." A memory of a distant conversation tugged on his mind.
"Remember, if the People ever do need help. I'm available."
Holly pressed the button.
"I'll remember that," she whispered.
An: The two songs I used were "Music of the Night" from Phantom of the Opera and "Let Me Fall" from Cirque du Soleil: Quidam. Go here for the complete lyrics: - music-of-the-night-8rbwwjm.html or - me-fall-pv1trtm.html. I love this video game: "Thus the life force called Serge was not even allowed to be born into this world. Fate has not forgiveness for those who dare stand against it..." I don't know about this chapter. I'm not happy with it. What do you think?
