His Guardian
Chapter 3: A Cold Spring

A thunderstorm swept through Ireland that week. It caused many bad hair days and a wet Artemis coming home from school. Soon, Artemis was down with the flu and has been lying sick in bed for a days already. He was with a fever, a sore throat, a runny nose, and a terrible, terrible fever. He didn't think clearly and spent all day in bed sleeping. Food was feed to him by a maid in the manor.

Holly's heart hurt to see The Artemis Fowl II struggling in bed, shivering and perspiring under the many layers of blankets. She was hovering near Artemis's window that gave her a clean view of the boy. She couldn't stand to see him down like that. She wanted to help him in any way possible. The best way was, of coarse, to perform the healing ritual. But something that complex couldn't be preformed in broad daylight, even if it was raining. Holly couldn't tell if Artemis was awake or not. She didn't want to risk exposing the fairy race to him. So she decided to heal him at night.

Artemis was lying wide awake that night staring at the ceiling of his dark room. His mind was unfocused and he couldn't think straight but for one thing he was certain of, he was tired of sleeping. He has been sleeping for a whole day already and he was too lazy to sleep again. He pulled his covers tighter around him as he listened to the pounding of the rain drops on his window.

drip, drip, drop, drop (a/n: just pretend it's raining)

Flash! Crack! Lighting lit up the room for a millisecond and the thunder shock the Fowl manor. Suddenly, all the lights in the house went off. It was suddenly pitch black. So dark that if you were to extend a hand out in front of you, you wouldn't be able to make out how many fingers you had.

'A black out' thought Artemis. It wasn't as if it mattered. It was 2:00Am. Who would be out at this time? Then he heard some movements around him. 'I take that back. There are people around at this time.'

He was too tired to speak so he just let that person be. It could a family member or it could be a burglar. If it was an intruder, then the best thing to do was stay quiet. It would insure his safety. The intruder walked up to Artemis's bed. Artemis could hear the person's heart and steady breathing. Artemis panicked. Who could this be? He was too weak to do anything not to mention fight back if that person attacked him.

The person sat on Artemis's bed and started to feel it's way around. It's hand first touched Artemis's arm and then slid it's way to Artemis's chest. It unbutton Artemis's shirt revealing Artemis's chest. The person cupped their hands over Artemis's face. Some how Artemis had this unknown feeling for the person. The feeling sent a shiver up Artemis's spine as the mysterious figure crawled over Artemis and placed her palm over Artemis's chest. It was a girl concluded Artemis as he felt the feathery touch of her breast on his body. Her body was positioned on his body. She mumbled a few words and blue sparks rushed out of the person's fingers to Artemis. It was an amazing site. Artemis felt himself get stronger. Energy hurried back through him. Suddenly, he didn't know what he was doing.

Holly was about to leave after she finished the healing but her feelings for Artemis made her body stay put. It was too dark to make out the boy's features but with her hands, she outlined the genius's face. She felt like crying. Soon she couldn't hold her feelings in and she placed her lips on the boy's.

Holly didn't expect him to return the kiss for he was believed to be sleeping, but that was exactly what happened. Artemis Fowl wasn't sleeping all that time. Holly was shocked and tried to break away from the kiss but Artemis wrapped his hands around Holly's neck, not allowing her to leave. His tongue moved to and fro in her mouth. Holly was in a dream. She knew that she was doing something wrong yet she continued to return the kiss. They just laid there, making-out on the bed.

Then the darkness in the room was no more. All the emergency electricity lights went on and Artemis got a full view of his stalker. She had auburn colored hair and the hazel eyes that Artemis had dreamed about all the time. The kiss broke and they stood, for what seemed like hours, looking at each other in silence. Artemis knows he's seen the girl before. Some where in his past but he didn't make out when.

Holly was first to break the silence. She didn't say anything though. She got off of Artemis and ran towards the window, outside into the wet night. Artemis tried to run after her, amazed by the strength he just got back a few minutes ago.

"Wait! Come back! Don't leave!" he shouted.

Holly opened the window and flew off into the stormy night. When Artemis reached his window, he stood awed by the fairy's amazing power. He touched his lips, remembering the kiss as the rain came into his room, soaking his clothes again.
