Somehow, when I'm like, super busy and stuff I have a tendency to update faster, and when I'm not busy I tent to dally about and not do stuff… Well, enjoy!


It was night out and I was wide awake. Sitting on the ground watching the camera sweep the room and go to a rest position. I only have fifteen minutes before it comes back on and they notice. I went over to the wall with the torn fabric and pushed the bricks out into the empty street, and crawled out through the small opening.

I looked around before standing up and winced, my leg wasn't exactly "healed" yet. I stood up and before I could even take a step, a hand flew over my mouth. "Don't talk, Artemis Fowl sent me," a voice whispered to me, a male voice, heavy with a French accent. He took his hand off of my mouth and I whipped around. I gasped at who I saw.

"Theo?" I asked. He nodded and practically pushed me around the corner. We went down a couple of blocks and we went inside a small shop. He pushed me along until we got to the back of the shop and he placed me on a mattress on the ground and covered me with a blanket. I stared at him as he went around the room. He grabbed a mug and put something hot in it and handed it to me. I took it and looked into it. It was a tea of sorts, and I sipped it.

"He said to keep you for a couple of days until you look healthier," Theo stated, sitting in front of me. I nodded, not trusting my voice at the moment. Was what Corrine told me a lie? Theo smiled. "A bit choked up, eh?"

I nodded. "Yeah,"

"Just relax for now, everything is going to be better, is what Fowl said," Theo stated. "You should probably wash up; your hair has blood and dirt in it,"

"Where is the bathroom?" I asked; my voice hoarse and dry. Theo pointed to a room in the back and he stood up and helped me there.

"Do you need other help?" Theo questioned. I shook my head and he shut the door behind him. I locked it, and turned on the shower in the small room. I undressed and got in the hot water. Theo had put a small stool in there so I could sit and not have to strain my arm. If only Gianna was here, she would help me wash my hair…

I shook my head, and put some shampoo in my hand, washing the dirt and blood out of my hair. I washed my body and got rid of the caked on blood from my cuts and scrubbed the dirt that was caked on as well.

I sat there for a second; just letting the hot water caresses my worn body. I sighed and turned the water off. I got out and there sitting on the lid of the toilet was a fresh pair of cloths and a towel. I dried myself off with the towel and hung it up on a rack on the wall. I then got dressed, I put on my undergarments, a large black T-shirt, and short khaki shorts. I brushed my long black hair and put it into a pony tail.

I looked at myself in the mirror, and was slightly horrified by what I saw. I had a fat lip, lots of scars, and under my eyes were black from lack of sleep. I shook my head, unlocked the door, and walked out of the bathroom.

Theo nodded as I walked out and sat me down on the mattress again. "You look a lot better than before."

"Thank you, I appreciate the complement after what I have looked like before," I stated, staring at him as he walked around the room. Theo has shaggy dark brown hair, olive skin, and big brown eyes; he wore a grey T-shirt, and long knee high khaki shorts. He was also about six foot, next to my short five foot three. He sat down next to me on the mattress and handed me a blanked and pillow.

"Why don't you sleep?" he asked. I looked at him for a second and nodded.

"But, what about you?" I questioned.

"I will sleep on ground," Theo stated.

"I wouldn't wa-" I tried to object but Theo put a finger over my lips and shook his head. I blinked and he took his finger away.

"I am sleeping on ground," He stated simply. I nodded, and placed the pillow on the mattress. I laid down and he covered me with the blanket. I watched him as he dragged out a pillow and a couple of blankets and placed them next to me. "If you need anything, don't be afraid to ask."

"Uh, I would like, maybe in the morning, an acorn and some dirt…" I stated. He nodded at the odd request. And laid down in his make-shift bed. He turned toward me and we stared at each other in the eyes for, what seemed like, and eternity. You could easily get lost in his big brown orbs.

"Your eyes are like the midnight sky," He whispered, the only light on was the moon shining through the window.

"Yours look like chocolate orbs," I whispered back. He chuckled lightly.

"Many girls have described them differently, you are the first to say they look like chocolate," He stated quietly. Why does it feel like I've known him for years?

"Theo, have I ever met you before? Not yesterday, but before that?" I asked. He was quiet and didn't respond. "Theo?"

"Yes…" He stated. I sat up and he did the same.

"Do you know about, the People then?" I asked. He nodded in the small light.

"You were my first kiss…" He stated. I stared the boy sitting in front of me. He must be at least a year or two older than me, fifteen or sixteen, maybe?

"Your mother had you get a mind-wipe to forget me," Theo stated. "She said, I was not good enough for you."

"I knew she was keeping something from me, I knew I was missing something, but, since I can't remember… you must have been my first kiss as well, not Artemis…" I trailed off. I forgot something…I forgot my first kiss… who could forget something as monumental as that! I shook my head and stared at Theo.

"We could, boost your memory," He stated, sounding unsure of what he said.

"How?" I asked, fully knowing what he was going to suggest.

"A kiss…" He trailed off. I scooted to the edge of the mattress and put my feet on the ground. I got onto the floor and sat next to him. I looked Theo in the eyes, and he caressed my cheek, tracing his thumb over one of my thumbs. "Your eyes really are beautiful."

I got on my knees and faced Theo. "You said it before, didn't you?" He nodded, and leaned closer to my face. Our lips were inches away now, and I wasn't sure if I wanted this.

"I'm not sure if I want to do this," I stated.

"Don't think about the bad things that will happen, think of the good," He said back to me. Our lips pressed together and every emotion I had felt before melted into nothing. I felt peaceful and happy, for once in my life. We broke apart and my lips felt warm.

"Once more wouldn't hurt, would it?" I asked; my voice lighter than a whisper. He shook his head and we kissed again. The same feeling washed over me and we broke apart again. I hugged Theo, and he chuckled lightly.

"I remember…" I whispered into his ear.


OOO! What exactly happens next, you may ask? Well, I can't tell you because that will ruin the surprise! Muhahahaha! Well, anyways, review and tell me what you thought!
