Chapter 4

Raina's POV

I quickly glanced over the group of people standing in the entry hall, and they introduced themselves.

"Hi, I'm Nina!" The brunette that had talked to Fabian said.

"I'm Fabian, as you already know." Fabian said with a grin.

"Hey I'm Mara!" A dark skinned brunette said, shaking our hands.

"Great, more Americans…I'm Jerome." The poufy haired boy said. He had a mischievous look in his eyes. Don't trust him, My intuition said.

"I'm Eddie! It's great to have more Americans here, even if some of us don't think so." The kid in a faux leather jacket said.

"I'm Patrica." The goth pixie said. Kara's going to like her, I thought.

"I'm Joy, nice to meet you!" the last brunette said with an overly perky smile.

"I'm Alfie! Are you guys aliens?" The dark skinned boy asked. I had no response to this kind of question. Apparently Kara and Artemis felt the same way. They just stood there and stared at him.

Then Kara said sarcastically, "Yes, we're aliens, and we've come to take over Earth and eat your brains." She rolled her eyes at the ceiling.

Apparently Alfie took this seriously. "Oh. My. Gosh." He said eyes wide. "Can I have your autograph?" This left even Kara speechless. She just stood there and looked at him, mouth slightly agape, and very confused. This was not good for Alfie, because when Kara was confused, she tended to get violent. I'm sure she was just about to punch the poor kid in the nose, when the blonde girl next to him nudged him in the ribs.

"Alfie, stop, you're scaring them!" She then turned to me and said, "My name's Amber. Did you do something with your hair? Because it's absolutely gorgeous!" I glanced down at the blonde tresses hanging over my shoulders.

"Nothing…" I started to say, but Amber grabbed my hand and started to pull me towards the sitting room.

"Come." She said. "You need to tell me what you did with your hair." By now Kara looked like she was about to murder someone. I had to intervene before there was a fatality. So I stopped, put my other hand on Amber's and said quietly, "Amber. I really haven't done anything with my hair. My trick is to not do anything. Just don't use a lot of hair products." I walked away before Amber could say anything else.

"Nicely handled," Kara said as I walked back over to her. "Better than what you had in mind." I said with a smirk. Kara snorted. "She's right." Artemis said, coming up behind us. "Violence is never the answer."

"In Kara's mind it is." I replied.

"Violence works every time." Kara said with an evil grin.

I sighed. Hopeless.

Butler's POV

It had been an eventful day so far. More eventful than I had expected. My job was simple: Bring Master Artemis to his new school in England, wait for school to end, then bring him back. Of course, even if the job wasn't simple, I couldn't exactly refuse. I had been serving Master Artemis since the day of his birth, as both a butler and also a bodyguard, though Artemis had not mentioned this fact during his introduction with the two girls, Raina and Kara. They were very interesting young ladies, those two girls. Raina seemed quite intelligent, and Kara would make a good bodyguard, if she toned down the violence a little bit. But enough of that, I chided myself. I had to do a thorough search of this building before Master Artemis unpacked, to make sure it was safe. I sighed to myself. My job was hard enough without Artemis insisting on traveling to places where it was difficult to keep him safe. I needed a break…
