Artemis Fowl: Opal's Revenge Chapter Fourteen

Okay, last chapter in this story. Thanks to everyone who read and reviewed. I hope you enjoyed it. My next new fic is already up, a crossover of Artemis Fowl and Harry Potter, where Harry Potter undergoes a transformation and gets wings and Wolverine like claws. I plan to make it a longer fic than this one, so please go read it!

Butler felt a sense of panic and knew this must of have been what Artemis felt when Butler himself got shot and killed years ago.

Artemis had felt himself slipping away when he was kissing Holly. Opal was freaking out in his head, thinking to get out of Artemis's body before it died, but she didn't have enough magic to transfer herself, and even if she had, she definitely wouldn't have been able to keep a calm and level head to do the transfer to another body. She swore and cursed Artemis.

"HOW COULD YOU DO THIS!" she screamed. "HOW DID I KNOW YOU WERE PLANNING THIS?!"

The last thing Artemis felt was Holly's lips on his before his heart gave a last throb and everything went black.

"They're safe," was his last thought.

Opal shrieked and felt the afterlife calling her. She couldn't stay in a dead body. She tried to transfer herself to the nearest living body, but it was impossible. With a last scream of rage, she was sucked into the afterlife.

Butler got out the shock pads from the kit below Artemis's back. He ripped Artemis shirt off and charged up the paddles.

"Try and heal him," barked Butler. Holly put shaky hands on Artemis's chest and whispered, "heal", sparks traveled from her fingers into his body, but nothing happened. Artemis didn't move or open his eyes.

Mulch was staring in horror by the door. "Come on, Artemis, you can't be dead."

"Come on, please," whispered Holly focusing on the sparks.

"Move," said Butler. Holly jerked her hands away and Butler put the paddles on Artemis's chest and shocked him, hoping to restart the heart. Artemis's body jerked, but again, nothing.

Butler did it again, and again, and then ordered Holly to do her magic again. She did, but nothing was happening.

"ARTEMIS!"

Holly whipped around and seen No1 standing in the door way, his wounds apparently healed now.

"Do the shocky things again!" ordered No1, rushing over. "I can sense a bit of his spirit left, he's not gone entirely."

Butler did as he was told and No1 quickly placed a hand on Artemis's chest and another one his head. His runes began to swirl quickly, and he chanted.

"Please, Artemis," said Holly.

No1 concentrated hard on bringing life back to the dead body before him. He chanted some words and his runes spiraled faster.

He felt something and focused harder.

Artemis's eyes twitched and his chest began to rise with breath again. Holly held her own breath.

Artemis's eyes twitched and he opened them.

"Uh, I thought I was dying," he mumbled.

"No, you're back!" said No1. "You weren't entirely gone yet, and I brought you back." He sat back. "I think Qwan might be mad at me, for resurrecting two bodies in one day."

Butler grabbed Artemis and hugged him. It was very unbodyguardlike behavior, but he didn't care.

"Oh, Artemis, I thought-I thought," Holly sobbed and she fell into his arms.

"It's okay, Holly," said Artemis. "Opal is gone now. I guess I died long enough to boot her soul out."

"YOU ARE SO STUPID!" shouted Holly. She smacked Artemis across the face. Artemis stared at her, stunned. "HOW COULD YOU DO THAT! YOU KILL YOURSELF AND KISS ME! I THOUGHT YOU WERE GONE FOREVER! YOU'RE LUCKY NO1 WAS AROUND TO SAVE YOU! WHAT IF HE HADN'T! YOU ARE SO STUPID!"

She beat him with her fists and then collapsed against him in heap, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Holly, I did it so you and everybody else wouldn't get hurt," Artemis told her gently. Holly mumbled something incoherent against his shoulder that vaguely sounded like "dumb idiot". "Holly, Opal was going to kill you and everybody else and me too in the end eventually. Can you forgive me?"

Holly wiped her face off. "Y-yes."

Artemis kissed her forehead and then kissed her lips again, very gently.

A few days later.

Angeline came home a few days later with the twins. Artemis went to the car to meet them and Becket and Myles jumped out of the car, yelling excitedly.

Artemis knelt to their level so he could hug them. Becket grabbed him around the neck first and squeezed. Artemis hugged him back.

"Careful," Becket whispered. "I have a lizard in my pocket." He snatched a look at Angeline who was digging for cell phone on the floor of the car. "Shhh!" He put a finger to his lips.

"Simple toon," muttered Myles. He hugged Artemis. "Is the bad fairy gone?"

"Yes," said Artemis.

"No bad fairies for me to punch and kick?" asked Becket.

"Shush," said Myles, casting a look at their mother.

"No, Becket," said Artemis. "She's gone."

Angeline got out of the car, not remembering the events that had taken place when she came home earlier, and gotten killed by her son. She had gone back to the Dunphee house, not remembering a thing. Artemis remembered it though and had to calm himself, and thanked God that his mother was okay now.

"Hello, Mum," he said.

"Hi, darling!" she said. "I brought pictures of the new baby to show you. Were you okay?"

"Yeah, Mum, nothing exciting happened," said Artemis, smiling at her. "Same old, same old."

"Let's go inside and have a snack," said Angeline, wrapping her arm around his shoulder. "I missed you."

"Me too, Mum," said Artemis, and they walked into the house together.

Okay, you didn't really think I'd kill Artemis off did you? I hope you enjoyed it. The next fic I put up, an Artemis Fowl and Harry Potter Crossover, is sort of like a continuation of this one, so please go read it and review!
