Chapter 13
Planning for both sides
"Good morning, element. Here is your breakfast, " the deep voice of Butler kept ringing in Diana's ears as she stretched early in the morning. " I have a name, you know, gorilla, " she spat. She was filled with enough anger to take down 10 heavily armed Butler's, so one unarmed Butler was too easy. Or so she thought.
"Just eat, before i lose my temper. Its too bad Artemis said i couldn't hurt you, " Butler growled.
Diana sat still for a while, then suddenly she started laughing hysterically. "ARTEMIS! ARTEMIS! What kind of a stupid name is that? Ahahaha! I thought his name would be tom or billy or whatever! AHAHAHA! " Diana had tears running down her cheeks, and she couldn't even stand after falling off her bed. Butler scowled, and banged the door after he left the room.
"Butler, has the element gone mad, or has she turned into a brain-damaged hyena? " Artemis queried as Butler approached him. Diana was laughing way too loudly. "I told her your name, sir." Artemis sighed. "What can i do? Am i supposed to be born as a female goddess? NO. " Then a thought struck him. "What is her name, anyway? "
"I am not sure, sir. I can find out, as soon as she cools down. "
"Forget it. That will take a long time. "
Artemis was finding a way to extract her fire power, which was even more difficult then finding out what the fairy Book meant. He got so frustrated that he actually almost gave up, until he saw something. He had noticed a small pop up that read, ' please install lock-up to enable heat sensors.' Artemis needed to track where the fire element was in her body, so he needed the human heat sensors.
The bad news: It had to take one week.
Finally, the irritating laughter died down. Butler immediately went up to Diana's room and saw something that surprised him. All there was in her room was a blob of liquid. "Artemis! She's gone! " Butler shouted as he ran down.
"Gone?" Artemis eyed Butler suspiciously.
"Yes, all there is, is a blob of silver liquid."
"Oh, that." Then after a seconds thought, he continued. "Is my name that funny?" he asked. The confusion on Butler's face was priceless.
Artemis sighed. "When the 4 elements laugh too much, they go crazy. They first have Jelly legs, a disease that unables you to use your legs. The there is the Hoot of Death. When you achieve that, you simply turn into a chicken. If you still laugh too much, you become the blob of Nothingness. So I suppose she has gone crazy," Artemis said simply, not worrying at all. Butler was shocked. He had expected something much less freakier than this. "So how do I cure her?"
"Just step the liquid." Butler found this a little harsh, but nevertheless if Artemis wanted him to do that, he will. He staggered up the narrow stairway, and came to Diana's room. There, the blob still lay as still as ever. He stepped the blob hard, and immediately, the delicate figure of a tall girl appeared in front of him.
"My goodness," she started saying. "That was the best joke I ever heard."
Butler scowled again. "Artemis wants to know your name. If you can answer that without having any embarrassment. "
Diana looked at him sternly. "Diana."
Butler's eyes widened a little then resumed their normal shape. He nodded, and prodded back to the door.
Don't worry; Diana was whispering to herself, you are in so much trouble i don't want to tell you about it.
A/N: This is a looong chapter. .
David was doing something that was draining all his energy. Well, actually that sentence is inappropriate. This is because when elements use their power, they lose energy. David here was using his power to call upon the other two elements, Meg Wallace and Arthur Drake, who were also friends. After a few minutes of meditating, their faces appeared in front of him. "What's wrong, Walter?" Meg asked.
David's stomach churned. Meg calling him Walter reminded him so much of how fondly Diana used to call him that. "Wallace, Drake, the fourth element has been kidnapped, and i will need your help to get her back. "
