Chapter 11
Success or failure?
"Hey, freako, what do you think you are doing on my property?" David shouted to the huge helicopter that had landed on his property. Then Diana, by his side, shouted at the helicopter as well. "You don't take of now, I'm going to have to vaporize you! (and we all know she meant that. ) "Indeed." And a most weird looking boy stepped out. He seemed to be their age, only shorter. He had hair like Elvis Presley, but there was no color in his skin. Oh, and he was wearing super huge sunglasses. "I would be vaporized if i don't carry out my plan properly."
"Plan…?" Diana asked.
"Yes, plan," Artemis replied. "A very precise plan. And trust me, if you do not co-operate, you will regret it. " Suddenly, a net jumped from no-where, and it was headed straight for the two elements!
" Whoa!" David yelled as he managed to duck the flying net. However, his best friend wasn't quick enough. The moment she realized that a huge flying net was about to capture her, it did! "AAGH! WALTER! HELP ME! " she shrieked as the net swallowed her, but then she decided to teach that monkey boy who he was dealing with. Her eyes and hands glowed orange, and she shot a massive ball of fire at the net. Nothing. "H…How is that…possible?" Diana muttered.
"Don't worry, element. I will take good care of you. Oh, and that net is element proof. Sorry," Artemis so-called 'apologized' and within a blink of the eye, shot Diana's hand with a hypodermic dart. "Why are you doing this? I never did anything to you! I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO YOU ARE! " Diana sobbed in a hoarse voice. "YOU ARE SO…so…so… " she never made it to the end of that sentence. The dart was taking effect. Yes… Artemis whispered in utter glee. "Hey you, let my friend go!" David shouted, after recovering from his shock of diving from that monster net. "Wise guy, take this!" and David shot a whirl of air straight at the helicopter. It was impressive, and soon, the helicopter was in chaos. "SYSTEM ALERT, SYSTEM ALERT! MALFUNCTION! MALFUNCTION! " The alarm screeched, and hearing that, Butler immediately called out to Artemis. "Sir, we have a situation here. We have to leave, or we will become pancake with helicopter syrup. " Artemis immediately understood that joke, and ran inside the helicopter. He swerved it violently to the right, dodging another wind attack from the boy. "That element has gone crazy, its time we escaped," Artemis rasped, as Butler lifted the helicopter, and soon, man and boy were gone. David had gone after the helicopter, flying at top speed, but soon his magic was threatening to give way, so he landed, and watched in the greatest dismay as the triumphant, young teenager escaped with his best friend. "Come back here, you sickening little brat!" David shouted himself hoarse, and finally, giving up all hope, walked dejectedly to the mansion, which was terribly far away now. There were no words to describe his sadness, he almost cried. But he was supposed to be witty, and he decided to stop that boy once and for all.
He felt strange, whenever he talked to friends about Diana. And after noticing that, his friends would go ooh and aah and al those nonsense. But David did not care about all that, he wanted to save his friend, and he was not going to do it alone. But suddenly, he remembered a thought. "My mother!" David thought in panic, and as he ran back to the mansion in a hurry, he saw the most terrifying sight a son could see of his mother.
Ellinia was lying on the mansion grounds, unconscious, with a dart sticking out of her neck.
