Chapter 12
Twists of events
Diana fluttered open her piercing blue eyes, and found that she was in a huge room filled with computers. A young boy was typing furiously into one and a huge man was standing beside him, observing what he was doing. "Let me out of here!" Diana shouted to the odd couple. "Why have you tied me to a chair?" Diana tried to suppress a fireball, but to her amazement, her magic had run out! The glowing flame on her hand extinguished, and that's when the little boy gave a loud chuckle.
"Why have you kept me here? What do you want? " Diana asked, exasperated.
"Oh, nothing. I just thought I would be living a much finer life if I had the fire element in myself," Artemis replied.
Diana's eyes widened. "You want my power? Are you crazy? "
"Answer to question one, yes. Answer to question two, no. " And Artemis gave one of the most evil grin he had ever mastered. Diana concluded that this guy was in fact the most insane guy she had ever met. "And how do you suppose you are going to do that?"
"Well, it is much easier now that you are drained of power, isn't it?" Artemis's cold voice replied. He looked up. Diana looked up. Their cold, blue eyes met for several seconds. Then they turned away. "I don't like your eyes," they said in perfect unison. Again, they turned to look at each other, and suddenly Artemis's stomach churned. That girl was too pretty, and far too cunning. He knew she was different.
David was just too sad for words. He had realized why he felt worse when Diana was kidnapped than finding his mother unconscious. He actually liked her. A lot! She was pretty, she was smart, and now, she was kidnapped. What was he to do? David sighed, sitting down. He was at the hospital, waiting for the doctors to see him about Ellinia. As soon as he heard their footsteps, he stood up and approached them.
"My mother… " he choked halfway.
"Do not worry, she is absolutely fine. She was just unconscious. She is awake, and you can see her now. "
David didn't want to. His mind was only set on rescuing the only girl he knew to be his friend, and he knew how.
