Chapter 5:
Artemis The Hunter, God With The Bow.
"Bring them in!" Shouted Damien Short. High on his thrown he sat, like a king in his castle.
A masked man pushed three persones inside. Commander Julius Root or, at least, the hologram, what was left of it, Dawn Fowl and Holly Short. "Hey, watch it! Wacko!" Shouted Dawn. "Hey! You, uncle Damien, get your lazy ass of that idiotic chair of yours and kick the mans but, will ya? He hurts me!"
Damien grinned. "Silly girl. That won't work again. Now SIT!" He demanded.
"Yeah, sure. And when will you tell me to bark?" She shook her head. That guy wasn't one of the smartest, really.
"Shut up! SIT!" Yelled Damien. He gave the masked man a sign and the man hit the three with his stick. Pain woult take over so they had to sit down. "Okay." Damien said relieved. "What are these for? Dear sister of mine, you first." His eyes narrowed as he showed the signer and the communicator.
Holly rolled her eyes like a bored teenager who's parents are being annoying. "That," she said. "is a… er… a machine!" She grinned. "How dumb are you?"
"I'm not dumb." He said relaxed. "You are the one being dumb by not answering my question."
Suddenly something rised above Damien's head and knocked him out.
"Mulch!" Shouted Holly. "Mulch, you saved us!"
Root also manage to mutter something. "Mulch, how nice."
Mulch acted like he didn't hear that.
"Muuulch!" Said Dawn happily. "Cool to see you again!"
The smile Mulch was wearing widened. "Yeah, great to see you in real!"
Dawn looked confused. In real?
'Maybe he went to the bath?'
Don't know.
'Could be.'
Don't know! Damn! Okay, okay, I'll ask…
"In real? Wha' d' ya mean?"
Might be at the bath?
'I already said so.'
'No, I did.'
Don't know!
Mulch hesitated. "Er… you still are the bath-girl…? No?" This was the bath-girl, Dawn, or not?
Holly mentaly got a punch in the face. What a stupid thing to say. "Mulch!" She hissed wishpering.
"So…" Started Dawn. "That's why my memories are all so vaque… And when I try to reach them… it's like they are lost forever… Except for the ones since I came out of the bath…" She sobbed quietly and tried the keep it under control.
"Are… are you okay?" Said Holly, without knowing if it was the correct thing to say at the moment. She really didn't have a lot of experience with kids. She tried to put her arm around Dawn's shoulders but Dawn pushed her away.
"I'm totally fine, really. I just figured that I'm actually just a few days old, instead of 13 years, and my whole world falls apart and my parents aren't my real parents. It's nothing serious. Happens to anyone all the time." She turned away and blinked the tears out her eyes. So this was reality. All the pieces of her left for everyone to pick up, before she could do anything. "So," She said finally and turned back to them. "We should get going, before the geek wakes up." And she half-smiled a bitter smile.
"Oh no!" Damien had woken up and grabbed the Neutrino. "You are not going anywere! Stick-men, come here!" And all of a sudden from everywhere came masked man. With sticks. "Now," he continued, and he hold up the signer and the communicator. "Tell me what it is!"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I've made contact with Trouble that he can come. Vinyaya, Twell and Greenleaf are with him. They are back-up. I've signed to the others out site that they have to enter the building after one hour to the sign I gave, when I haven't gave another one in that time." Artemis sighed. The life as a soldier was kind of fun. It was so different from his usual, criminal life.
After a short while they arrived in somesort of weaponary chamber. "Oh my gooooooooodness!" Said Juliet happily. This was heaven for her.
Artemis surpressed the urge to role his eyes. Suddenly he noticed something moving further away. He narrowed his eyes and figured that it were two masked man with sticks coming their way.It appeared that they hadn't noticed Artemis and Juliet. Yet. He grabbed Juliet's sleeve, still watching the two man coming closer. "Juliet!" He whispered. "We really should be going now. It would be the perfect timing." 'Can't be a better moment.' He added in silence.
But Juliet shook him loose. "le' go o'me!" She yelled. "There's so much else to see!" And she continued checking out all the weapons.
"Juliet!" Hissed Artemis, angry now. "Come on!" And he roughly pulled at her sleeve.
"Wow! This is great!" Said Juliet and turned around showing Artemis a strange looking, machine gun-like thing. "Amazing! Look, an out drawable bow and arrows!"
"Juliet!" Said Artemis.
"What?" Said Juliet. Suddenly she noticed the two man coming closer.
"I see an ID!" Said one against the other.
"Duck!" Whispered Juliet as she pushed Artemis down on his knees. They hid behind some crates as Juliet croughed a bit further away. "Here!" She whispered and threw the bow she had found to Artemis.
He catched it well but wondered what Juliet expected him to do. At that moment she threw a pack with arrows his way, wich almost slipped his slim fingers. Still, he got it anyway and hung it around his shoulders.
"Let's wach 'em before they wack us!" Groaned Juliet.
Artemis grabbed an arrow and rose to his feet. He pulled the string. Tried to convinse himself. He pulled. 'I'm Artemis the hunter,' Further. 'God with the bow' Further. 'I' He pulled 'Can' until the 'do' edge "ANYTHING!" He shouted the last word and let go. Slowmotion. The arrow whizzed trough the air. The target coming closer. One hit. The man collapsed to the ground, leaving Artemis astonished.
"Yeah!" Yelled Juliet. She jumped up the crates and ran over them. At the edge she jumped as high as she could, grabbed onto some pipes hanging on the ceiling swung two times forwards, let go and made a salto followed by a spinning kick. She hit the man exactly against his temples wich killed him imidiatly.
Artemis couldn't get his mouth closed. "Goodness…" He muttered. "That was the most perfect, beautifull kick ever made in history!"
"Thank you!" Smiled Juliet and she made a slight bow. "Good shooting job!"
"Well," He said. "I shall take it with me." And he pointed at the bow. "Might be usefull."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Say it! What it is!" Yelled Damien. He pointed the Neutrino and shot again. His sister should have broken already. He had shot her 6 times!
The pain took over but Holly didn't want to give up. Nomather what. She knew Damien would take Root, Dawn and Mulch next but she couldn't tell him now. "I… will… not…" Whispered Holly. Tears were flowing freely now over her coffee-coloured skin. "I wont…"
Damien pointed the Neutino at Dawn and shot her. "Will you now?"
"Don't do it, mom!" Said Dawn. "Don't tell him! It could mean the end of everyone!"
"YOU WILL!" Shouted Damien and he began to shoot like a madman.
Root woke up before his eyes opened. After a while he blinked with his eyes and carefully sat up. He had a severe headache and his head felled like exploding. He checked his whole body, but strangly enough there were no wounds but there were blood spots in his clothes. He stood up and stepped around in what appeared to be a tent. "Holly!" He said. "Mulch, Dawn, wake up!"
Holly groaned. "Arty…" She muttered. Suddenly she sat up. "I did not just say that, did I?"
Root chuckled. "You did."
She felled like kicking herself. Those stupid dreams kept following her. They were like this:
She and Artemis sat on his bed. In frond of each other. Artemis meditating, she just staring at the paper in her hand. It was from Trubs. He liked her, it said. Suddenly Artemis jumped up, pushed her on her back and kissed her. "Fowl, get off me!" She said half-annoyed and tried to get away. He kissed her in her neck and suddenly grabbed the paper out of her hand. Relaxed he sat back against the pillows. "Fowl!" She said, but he didn't listen.
"Ouch, I see Trubs is…" He grimaced. "in love."
"Artemis, give it back!" She jumped uppon him.
"So we're back at the first name again, are we?" He roled her over so he was on top.
"Fowl, get off me!" She half-giggle, turned him over and grabbed the paper. She quickly slit the paper back in her pocket.
"Do you like him?" Sniggered Artemis. And he roled her over. Her uper body hung slightly back over the bed-edge, Artemis over her.
The blood raise to her head and her usually coffee-coloured skin slowly turned red now. "I don't." She said, pressed her lips against his and flipped him backwards. She pressed him against the pillows, kissed him in the neck and unbuttoned his shirt. His slightly musicled chest was revieled. Her fingers ran over his chest down to his belly. "Arty, my Arty…" She whispered in his ear.
Another flip-over. "My Holly…" Whispered Artemis. He zipped open her jacked, her breathing fastend and his hands found there way underneath her shirt.
She actually enjoyed this but at the moment that there was really going to happen something between them she woke up muttering 'Arty'. (A/N: No, no, you filthy teenagers! No details! I don't like too much fluff myself, so learn how to deal with it!)
In the meanwhile Dawn and Mulch had woken up too. "Whazzup…?" Said Mulch sleepy. He probably had woken up from Holly, who grinned apologizing.
"N-nothing, really!" She said as an answer.
Mulch raisen an eyebrow. "Riiiiiiight." He said. Out of the blue he realized that he wasn't home or anything near it. "Er… were… are we?" He said. For a moment it looked like he was going over the edge but half a second later his look was normal again.
Root peeked outside trough the open tent exit. Quickly he pulled his head back. "We're in…um… some kind of camp."
Dawn roled her eyes and shook her head. "You're being so vague, commander." She gazed at the one-time real commander, now hologram. "I'm gonna check it out." And with that she hopped out the tent.
Outside she wanted to get a walk but her path was blocked by a gigantic, brown coloured, human, male who was staring into nothing. "Can you let me pass, please?" Said Dawn with an angle face. The man just continue to stare into space. "Hey! Giant! I'm talking to you. Don't heheeere! Youhouu!" The man said nothing. "Hey! You! Let me pass, now! I demant you, mhuwhaha! Ah, whatever." She turned 90 degrees, set one step, turned 90 degrees the other side and stepped forwards but before she knew the man stood in front of her again. She did the same thing, now to the other side but there he was again. "Hey! You really start to annoy me now, young man!" She thought she saw a slight smile so she tried again but, just as the two other helpless tries, there he was again. "I'm going to ask it friendly just once. LET ME PASS YOU SMASHING WACKO!" She smiled devilish.
Suddenly the man started to talk. "I can't and won't let you pass."
"So," Said Dawn. "you can talk. I didn't notice that. Now, tell me way you can't and won't let me pass."
"Yes. I can talk. Miss Deborah said I was not allowed to let you go."
"And who is this Miss Deborah?" She raised an eyebrow while tiptoeing. The man gave no response. "Hey! Answer me, oldy!"
"So now, I'm old, am I? I can't tell you why not."
It started to irritate Dawn quite much now. This had to come to an end. "I bet you're not as quick as me, oldy!"
"Oh no…?" Started the tall man but it was of no use.
Dawn grabbed his wrist and turned it around. She put her hand on the mans mouth so he couldn't scream as she knocked him out and grabbed his Softnose. "Piece of cake!" She smiled and got back in the tent.
"Er… what have you done?" Asked Holly as she saw the Softnose.
Dawn grinned. "Take a look outsite"
Holly stook her head outsite but pulled it back quickly. "Did you did that?" She couldn't help but chuckling. Dawn was one great fighter, that was for sure.
Mulch wanted to see it too. "Oh my," He said. "there's someone coming here!"
Suddenly an elvin female came walking in.
Dawn quickly hold the Softnose on her back and put up her oh-I'm-such-an-angel face. "Hi." She said. "You're Deborah?"
The woman walked around her, Dawn turning all the time so she would see what she had stolen. "Yes." She finally said. "I'm Deborah, yes." She took a quick breath. "And you four must be…?"
Dawn roled her eyes as usuall. "As a… what ever you are… you should know our names. By the way, I've been with my head on tv so you can't miss. Anyway, you learn from mistakes, so try me!" She loved it to have a big mouth. Especially to grown-ups.
"Hmm. I don't know." Said Deborah. "You remember me to the…er… bath-girl. Dawn, maybe?" She grinned. Of course she knew them. She knew every prisoner since she was searching for some good ones to help her escape.
Dawn clapped her hands bored. "Hurrah." She said. "So why are we here anyway?" She sat down but stood up imidiatly as she saw that the Softnose was pretty much visible.
"Turn around." Said Deborah.
"No."
"Yes, turn around."
"No."
"I said turn around!"
"Why?"
"Turn around."
"No." Dawn raised an eyebrow. "Okay, I'll turn around." And she yawned. She turned and quickly turned the Softnose too so it wasn't visible.
"What do you have there?" Deborah said.
"Nothing."
"Turn around."
"Again?" And she turned around holding the Softnose on her back again.
Deborah sighed heavily. Show your hands.
She first stook out her right hand, put it on her back, grabbed the Softnose and showed her left.
She sighed again. "Okay, let me try something." All of a sudden she grabbed Dawn right wrist.
"Hey!" She yelled. She dropped the Softnose, grabbed Deborah's neck, gave her a kick and the stomic and turned her arm on the back so she couldn't move. "Never mess with me, Miss Deborah!"
She just grinned. "Yes… I… see… You…got that… Softnose…from the… man… outside… didn't you?" She sighed again. This could be the persons she had been looking for. To get out this camp, out of Damien Short's grip. "Please… let… me… go… now…" And Dawn did so. "Yes. I've finally found what I was looking for."
Dawn grinned. "If you wanted this, you could just ask." And she threw the Softnose to her.
"No, I didn't mean that."
Suddenly Root interrupted. "Who healed us anyway?" He wanted to ask it all the time but didn't get the chance.
"I did." Said Deborah. "Damien alowed it, because healthy people could be tortured more to tell the truth." She roled her eyes. "He's a cruel bastard. We hav to leave. I've been searching for people like you all the time."
Holly couldn't believe it. Not only was her brother mad, he was pure evil! But she didn't mind. She had to defeat him. Nomather what. And she would make it. They would make it. She knew it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Trouble, Vinyaya, Greenleaf and Twell were on their way to the location Artemis had signed to them. Greenleaf tried to ignore Twell but it wasn't a great succes since she had to laugh all the time. Trouble and Vinyaya were chatting all the time. Trubs smiled at Vinyaya, who's eyes suddenly widened. He felled the cold metal of a Softnose against the back of his head. The feeling of a Softnose when it's going to kill you.
"Stop, fairy. Stop. Don't move and everything will be alright." Definitly a male. A grinning male. "Thanks for the information, Ashlee!"
