Hello people!Sorry i didn't update in so long.I was way busy getting in trouble at school.nothing major but just a big pain .strange that no one commented on the random 'spandex' after the labyrinth.o well.This is before the Lost Colony by the way.I didn't want to bother giving Minerva a personality.You can now post anonymous reviews now.I still kinda new at this soooooo...Ya.

Artemis ,Juliet and Mrs.Fowl were all gathered infront of Butler.He hadn't moved a muscle or said anything .He had stayed perfectly still in the middle of Artemis' study for the past ten minutes.They were all trying to find a way to make him react.

"We could scream really loud in his ear .That usually wakes him up ,but I bet he's faking it."Juliet suggested.

"No ,I'm pretty sure he's not faking it.What he heard was shocking."Artemis explained.

"Artemis ,what did you tell Butler?"Mrs.Fowl said looking at Butler with a worried expression.

"It was in the letter someone sent him.They said something that probably USN't true but Butler took it to heart."

Juliet looked at him suspiciously ,"What did the letter say,Artemis?"

"I was amazed that someone would think it funny to tell Butler something like that but I guess someone somewhere has a strong death wish."

"ARTEMIS!"Juliet screamed .Both Mrs.Fowl and Artemis jumped.

"Yes?"

"What did the letter say?"

"Well it said..."

"Yes?...What did it say?Tell us."Juliet was getting close to screaming again.

Artemis looked at Butler ,who remained still .

"They said that Butler had a daughter."

Juliet and Mrs.Fowl stared at Artemis for a second before both of their jaws dropped in unison.Butler subconsciously hearing what Artemis said fell stiffly to the floor.Artemis turned to both the shocked women.

"That was Butler's reaction when he heard the news."

(we are now in Butler's mind . My isn't it big in here.)

'How could I have not know I had a daughter?Why didn't anyone tell me until now?'Butler thought to himself .He could see everyone moving around him,Artemis ,his mother ,and Juliet , but he couldn't bring himself to say or do anything.His body wouldn't allow him contact with the outside world.

'I wonder if she looks like me.She probably is tall . No question about that.'

They said that Butler had a daughter.

Butler's body fell to the ground.

'That's not be good. I wonder why I'm so shocked.I do remember that night...She looked so beautiful ',Butler then turned his attention to the fact that he had been avoiding the thought of her .

'Why didn't she tell me ?I missed out on raising my only daughter!'

Butler's anger surged in his chest,his breathing quickened .He willed his muscle's to move but they wouldn't respond.He fought his invisible ties and tried to roll -over to his side ,without anyone noticing him.After a few minutes of continuous effort his muscles started to loosen .

'Ok ,maybe I should try to move my lips and say something .'

"Hrmm mm!"

Artemis was the first to hear Butler's muffled cries for help.He turned around to face Butler,

"Are you starting to gain control of yourself?We can't move you until your body will be able to cope with the motion."

"Mmmm...mm mm."Juliet and Mrs.Fowl turned their attention to Butler now.

"I will assume that you just said 'maybe'.Try to move your arms in any way."

Butler focused his thoughts to his arm .

'Flex muscles in upper arm ,pull wrist up then tighten lower arm,'he planned out then he started to act,while Artemis watched his arm for any sign of muscle contraction at work.Butler's arm twitched suddenly.After a second it twitched again,but this one was more noticeable.

"There, we should wrap him in blanket so his body heat will help his muscles to relax."Juliet said quickly.

"That's a good idea,"Artemis responded.Just as he was moving towards the door to find a blanket it opens by it's own accord to reveling Holly behind it.She took one look at Butler then said ,

"What happened to the big guy?"

Artemis stared at her for a second ,then he looked at his mother.He hoped that she hadn't spotted Holly so she wouldn't get mind wiped.Mrs.Fowl was looking right at Holly ,but she didn't seem surprised to see her.

"Holly ...what are doing here ?And why are you wearing your Halloween costume?"he tried to cover.

"Artemis-"

"Son ,I know who this is .You have no need to try to cover up,"Mrs.Fowl cut in,"Thank you Holly for helping me years back.I would have said so earlier but some how my memories of that had happened had been held back till right now."

Holly's jaw drooped and she stared.Artemis and Juliet looked at each other,Juliet shrugged ,and Artemis left to find a blanket for Butler.Holly shook herself and then tried to speak,but found that she couldn't .

"Yes , I know that I am not supposed to remember you but I do. Now that that has been settled,could you possibly help Butler?He seems to be suffering from shock."

Holly nodded, then went to Butler.She put her hands on the left side of his head.Then blue and green sparks traveled from her fingers to his head and they moved across his face . He started to make faces to test out his muscles ,then he slowly moved his arms and legs to get rid of the stiffness.Holly removed her hands and Butler sat up,

"Thanks Holly"

"No problem. What made you go into shock?"

"I have a daughter that I was never told about .She should be around Artemis' age too."

It was now Holly's turn to look shocked .Her body stiffened and then she fell to the ground.

"Oh well,"Butler shrugged,"I guess we have to go find another magical creature to heal her.But before that let's go get something to eat."

Holly jumped back up and hit him lightly on the head,

"You were really going to leave me too ,weren't you?!"she jocked.

"Maybe."

"I should get you something to eat."Juliet spoke up,"And I should tell Artemis that you don't need the blanket anymore.He's probably gone all over the mansion looking for one."

Juliet left the room,but not before giving Butler a quick hug,that ended up looking more like a pat on the shoulders.Butler stood up and started dusting himself off.

"Butler ?"Mrs.Fowl said worriedly

"Yes,madame?"

"Are you going to be all right ?"

"Yes.I think Holly did a good job with the healing."

"No.I mean with ...your daughter"she mumbled awkwardly.

"...Yes.I think I'll be all right soon.Thank you ,Mrs.Fowl."

"If you need any time to be alone your always free to do so .You know that we are all here for you ."

Butler gave a faint smile.He walked to the window of the study and sighed,

"And for that I am grateful!"he whispered.

Artemis rushed into the room.

"I couldn't find a spare blanket in any of the closets ,so I took one from a guest bed..."he spotted Butler at the window

"Juliet said she would tell me that we didn't need the blanket now didn't she?"he said accusingly.

Holly ,Butler and Mrs.Fowl nodded.Artemis handed the blanket to Holly and left the room.As the door closed you heard him thunder,

"JULIET!!!!"

And after that all you could hear was Juliet giggling and Artemis staring a long lecture on not wasting his time in moments of crisis.All three smiled ,knowing that Artemis was just relieved that Bulter was OK.Holly sat in a chair and called to Butler,

"What are we going to do about the girl?"

Butler turned and picked up the letter form the desk and read it .It said:

Dearest Butler,

I wouldn't want to waste your time so I'll just say it : you have a daughter . I have raised her and she is doing well . Her school will be taking a short trip to Ireland so I thought that it would be a good time for you two to meet.She knows that the reason why you were never in her life was because your job would put many lives at risk including her own. She dosen't hate you but I think she'll make you go through hell before she calls you 'dad ' to your face. Or I could be wrong and she'll hate you forever.She'll see you soon.

sincerely ,

The Shadows.

"We just wait . She'll be in Ireland soon ,but I don't know where she'll be landing.I guessing that she'll be contacting us ."

"Question,"Holly interrupted,"who is she?"

"Well ...my girlfriend that I had to break up with to go protect Artemis."

"What??!!! You broke up with her to protect Artemis!!!???"

"Calm down Holly .She understood .I explained it to her when we started dating."

"Still!Why??"

"Reasons"he said silently.

"Fine.Well at least you'll see your daughter again."

"This is sure to be some adventure."

I did this all while listening to paramore misery business.Tell me if you liked it !Till next time!!
