Chapter Six: Taken Captive
Author Note: This is the first chapter I have added to this story. Hope you like.
Artemis and Yetty where blindfolded and gagged as they were pulled away from the party. The echoing sounds of the party like music and laughter faded suddenly as if they had put earplugs in. All they could hear were the rhythmic sounds of their feet as they were dragged to a truck and pulled inside it. The truck began to move while Artemis' brain tried to solve an answer to how they could escape with their lives. He thought of what would happen with the customary lack of emotion. He also thought of how Yetty would fare during this, for want of a better word, captivity. He knew from experience, only this might just be a certain elf by the name of Holly Short, that females were temper mental, feisty and when angered, could hit really hard. Since he normally avoided the opposite sex, he had very little knowledge about their habits and psychological make-up, apart from what he had learnt from Juliet and Holly, although you could hardly call them typical females.
While all of these facts crossed his mind, Yetty was not being quite as calm, and resorted to swearing and panicking in her mind. If she had not been gagged, then she would also be swearing at Artemis for getting her mixed up in all of this. She didn't have anything to do with it, but the fairies didn't seem to care, and saw that since she was with Artemis, then she was part of this. Soon, though, Yetty was disturbed from her tirade of swearing as the truck braked suddenly and stopped. Both Artemis and Yetty were then unloaded from the truck, dragged into a warehouse and sat on two hard-backed wooden chairs. The blindfolds and gags were then removed from their mouths.
Artemis opened his eyes and were met with the bulging features of the LEP Commander. It is not a sight that many people would like to open their eyes to, Artemis thought, it was almost as bad as waking up to find Root leaning over you. Artemis caught himself quickly, reminding his mind that Root was dead, murdered by Opal Koboi last year. That was the reason why Sool was in charge.
'Were you even listening Mud Boy?' asked Sool, jogging Artemis from his thoughts, he hadn't even realised that Sool had been speaking.
'One, I am no longer a Mud Boy, I'm fifteen and two, no I wasn't.' Artemis smirked as Sool's face took on a red hue with anger.
Sool's reply was to slap Artemis across the face, hard. In response, Artemis swore and gave a small yell of pain. Sool smirked, 'Don't be smart with me boy, I'm not a weakling like you and I can hurt you if I want,' Sool hissed. He loved antagonising the Mud Boy, it was one of the perks of letting Artemis keep his fairy memories.
