"Artemis Your the Key. I released you into the world a two hours ago. Your the key. The Prophecy is about you."
He had fallen to the floor and as he sat on his knees against the bathtub he watched his blood run down from the gash and down his left pale arm.
" Blood. Blood is life. Life is blood. I'm human, I'm not a Key,a ball of energy doesn't have blood. it's just a story, a fantasy. I'm human."
" Your healed."
Artemis shook his head and looked at her darkly.
" I'll never be healed."
Internal Wounds
" My mother, My father. My name, It's not real ?"
Holly shook her head.
" You were placed into this family for protection but you did not come from them."
" And do they know ? know their only son doesn't exist and all he is a form of magical energy known as the Key ?"
Holly frowned at him.
" Mud boy use that brain of yours. How would they know."
Artemis laughed humourlessly.
" What brain ? I don't exist, balls of energy don't need brains."
Holly put her hands on his cheeks and forced him to look into her hazel eyes.
" You are capable of everything you remember doing in those memories. The feelings behind them haven't changed. I still care for you. I worry for you."
Artemis scoffed.
" Why, I don't exist why worry, I'm like a figment of imagination, a droplet of fantasy from another realm."
Holly just shook her head, she could feel her anger at the helplessness of the situation take her over.
" So that's it, the Great Artemis Fowl finds out a little personal history and he gives up ! He surrenders without even a fight ! He gives up !"
Artemis suddenly shoved her with such a force she banged her spine on the wooden table.
" I'M NOT A FOWL REMEMBER ! YOU TOOK THAT AWAY FROM ME ! ARTEMIS FOWL ISN'T GREAT ! HE DOESN'T EVEN EXIST !"
Holly moved away from the table and grasped his wrists.
" You listen Artemis and you listen good, The people are tired of living underground. We don't belong there, if anyone finds out your the Key they're come after you. They will come and they will kill you. You will end the world for humankind as you currently know it. Your kill the entire species of Man !"
Something she said made him snap he and pulled away from her.
" Why should you be any different ? The Prophecy, your bound by the magic rushing through your veins why should you be any less a threat to me ?"
Holly looked at him hurt.
" I've watched you fall apart in front of me. If I was after you I have had plenty of opportunity. Now you've got to trust me, it's the only way your make it out of this alive."
Artemis closed his right hand into a fist.
" Maybe I don't care. Maybe I don't want to live. What's here for a ball of energy."
Holly looked at him seriously.
" Fine, I guess your right, what is here, after all you don't exist."
She pulled a sword from the wall of his study, she moved towards him and Artemis backed away till he could go no further and he had his back to the wall. She pointed the tip of the blade at his throat. She looked deeply into Artemis' dark blue eyes and she saw his desire to live but still she pushed the blade closer, the point nipping at the skin on his neck.
" If you want to die Artemis do it. Push your neck on to my blade."
Artemis looked into Holly's eyes and saw nothing but deadly seriousness. He moved his neck closer to the blade and he felt a stinging pain as the point cut into his skin and drew blood. The sight of his blood running along the blade gave him an idea.
" Prove it. Prove to me I'm the Key, the Key has pure blood collect my blood. Collect my blood and test it."
Holly nodded and reached into her suit, she pulled out a mini glass tube and reached for his wrist. She looked at him squarely in the eye before cutting him quick and deep. Artemis let out a hiss and Holly quickly moved her tube under Artemis's turned over wrist to collect the droplets of blood. When it was half full she sealed it and healed Artemis' neck and wrist.
" Say it's positive, what then ?"
Artemis shook his head, his cold facade firmly in place.
" We're cross that bridge when we get to it, for now take me to Haven."
Hey, I hope the plot is ok I just suddenly had this idea and I had to write it down Review and I'll update soon.
