Chapter 15 ( i think )
A shock!
It was a really cold night, and Butler was going upstairs to give Diana her dinner. But when he got there, he did not know what to do. She was already asleep on the bed, but she was shivering terribly. And the worst thing was her lunch did not even change; she hadn't even taken a nibble. She was muttering on her bed, something about leaving her alone. "Diana…Diana…wake up…WAKE UP! "Butler shouted, and Diana jolted out of her bed.
"WHAT!!" she screamed back.
"Your dinner."
"I don't want to eat anything. I haven't anyway. Didn't you notice? "
"You have to eat. Artemis wants you to be healthy. " And this sentence infuriated Diana.
"Healthy? HEALTHY! HE KIDNAPS ME, TREATS ME LIKE A PET DOG AND HE WANTS ME TO BE HEALTHY! WHERE IS HE, ANYWAY? " she roared, not knowing the shock awaiting her.
"He has gone to see his friend."
"And who would that be, Gorilla? "Diana asked, while having a sip of iced tea.
Despite himself, Butler replied. "Her name is Holly Short." The result that came was really spectacular. Diana dropped her tea in the bed, and choked on the one she was drinking, and before Butler knew it, she had gripped his collar so tightly that he almost suffocated. "Wh…where did he go?" she asked him, and Butler realized that her eyes were watery.
"Erm, he visited his friend."
"WHERE!! HOW DOES HE KNOW HER? "
Butler was lost. How did Diana know Holly? How could she positively know Holly?
Artemis knew he was in for deep trouble. Holly had called him, mostly meaning that she knew what he was up to.
That's bad.
He trudged up towards the meeting place, where she was waiting. "Holly, what brings you here on such a fine day?" he decided to get on her nerves.
"SHUT UP. YOU KNOW WHY! " she shouted back.
Artemis sighed. "So? I just want that power, that's all. I promise not to harm her in any way. And she does not seem to retaliate to me or Butler in any way. In fact, it seems she really likes my name. "
"Let her go, Artemis. You don't know what she will do to you? What if she knows self defense? Or she is pretended not having her powers? What if any harm befalls on you? I will get every blame available, mind that. "
"Do not worry, I will be fine. Its not like she will break down my house into a freaky mass of crumble, will she? Of course not. "
Oh dear, poor Artemis is so totally wrong.
David was planning something easy. Easy and absolutely smart. A plan to get his best friend back. "Ok, this is what we are going to do. We turn into nothingness, then float in, then destroy he whole place until it becomes a freaky mass of crumble. Understand? Oh, and we get Diana out after that. "
"Question, David." Arthur Drake raised his hand. "I don't think it is a good one. Because i do not know which one of us is going to grab Diana. " David looked at him incredulously, then he slapped his forehead.
"I will. Happy? " he spat.
Arthur smiled. "Indeed." Meg was the more sensible one. "So when do we start?" David let out an evil grin.
"Today, right here, right now."
Diana and Butler were riding in his Bentley, rushing like a mad donkey towards where Artemis had gone. Butler was driving fast because Diana had threatened to scorch him if he slowed down. And from her tone, he knew she would not hesitate. Butler found this a good time to find out about Diana. "So, what is your name?"
Diana stared at him. "Erm, My name is Diana."
"How old are you?"
"16. The day you kidnapped me, unfortunately." And Butler felt a disturbance locking up in his stomach. But what surprised him was her age. She was way too mature for her age.
"Where do you live?"
Diana stared at him. "From where you kidnapped me." Butler just felt worse and worse.
"So that guy was your brother?"
Butler noticed something strange. He had seen it in Artemis sometimes, but he couldn't tell what it was.
"No, but I owe him my whole life," she said softly. Then Butler realized what she was doing.
She was blushing terribly.
Opal was anything but pressurized. Ordering Marv and Scant around was easy. "Prepare this, launch that, eat this, throw that… " and of course, Opal would brag all day long about her beauty. Too bad she hasn't seen Diana yet. But that's going to change.
"MARV! HAS THE COMPUTER BEEN LAUNCHED YET!? " Opal screeched, gazing at the mirror, trying on new nail polishes. "Almost, Miss Koboi, we are getting the preview of the car in a minute. "
……………………….AFTER 60 SECONDS………………………….
"Uh oh," Merv breathed to his brother. "Opal should never see this girl." It was a good thing she did not hear anything.
