Chapter 16
Guilt
Finally, after a bajillion years, the bentley pulled over. Artemis was about a football field away, but he had seen the bentley. Diana almost died in the car. He was with her… yes he was! Diana jumped out of the car and flew all the way to them. By the time she reached them, she was out of breath. "You… you are… " she was quivering so much while talking to Holly that Butler had to hold her firmly. "Is your name Captain Holly Short? Are you good at flying? You work in some LEP? Do you remember me?? " Diana gasped her questions out, not noticing the expression on Holly's face.
She was shocked, even more shocked than Artemis and Butler put together. She just stared at Diana, looking directly in her cold blue eyes.
"It is you! " Holly cried, and the two of them jumped for a sisterly hug. (hehe) But the second later, Diana realised something was floating around. It was an invisible blue color, and it was floating towards the Bentley. "Strange, where have i seen that? " Diana frowned as she tried to remember. It just floated, and floated, and floated. Now Diana was frowning at it so horribly that she broke away from Holly and followed it. Then she froze. She knew what it was. Then Artemis heard her whispering. He only caught a few words.
"What are you doing here? Are you crazy? I can get out myself! " Strange, Artemis told himself, this girl talks to herself. Then suddenly, the blue color twisted violently, and headed straight for Butler and knocked him down flat! "NOOOOOOO! " Diana screamed, holding on to the blob. "Walter, Meg, Art, STOP IT! " Artemis froze, as the name Walter kept playing like a spoilt recorder in his brain. Oh dear me.
Then, as soon as the blob hit Butler, three teens seem to stumble out of it. One was horribly familiar, of course. The other two were shorter. One was a girl with bright auburn hair, and that was Meg Wallace. The other was a boy with blond hair, and red cheeks. He was Art Drake. They both stared at Artemis, and then two giant whips came out of their hands suddenly. But they were glowing different colors. Meg's one was light blue, darker's than David's air, and Art's one was brown. "Water and Earth, " Artemis breathed, before he got 2 fair whippings from each of them. The last words he heard were from Diana.
"Don't hurt him! He's a good lad. Please, don't hurt him. " And Artemis Fowl never felt worse in his life.
