Sorry. I have just been way busy. And could someone tell me what writers block is?
DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN ANY ARTEMIS FOWL CHARACTERS. OR Innocence by Avril Lavigne.
I woke up in a chair everyone staring at me. I swallowed and just stared back. And then the questions started. "How do you know about the People?" Holly asked. "Um…" I was too scared to answer. If I got it wrong, they might hurt me.
"What does that mean?" Artemis asked. So I decided not to talk. I just stared at my feet until Holly forced my head up. "What do you want?" I whispered.
"Answers." She growled. Oh my Hades, she is weird. "Well, give me a little space and maybe I'll answer." I asked. Everyone backed up and I started to answer their questions softly.
"Are you hungry?" Holly asked after at least fifty questions. "Um, n-no thanks." I wish I could go back to my room with my locked door, in my bed, writing songs.
"C-can I g-go h-home?" I stuttered when Artemis, Butler, and Juliet left to go and eat. "What?" Holly turned to me. "Nothing." I whispered numbly and buried my head in my pulled up legs. I felt a couple tears slip, a few, silently.
"Nothing at all." I muttered. Holly tapped my shoulder and forced my head up again. "What's wrong?" she asked softly and tried to suffocate me. "W-why are you trying to suffocate me?" I asked when I managed to pull out of her death hold.
"That was a hug." She sounded hurt. "S-sorry. I thought y-you w-were trying to kill me." I whispered and flinched when she moved her hand to pat my shoulder. "Why are you so scared? If you really know us, you wouldn't be afraid." She was right.
"I-I'm afraid of everything. It's mostly because of h-how I-I am t-treated i-in school. They u-usually punch and k-kick me." I said sadly. "What do they say?" she asked.
"T-that I am fat, have a horrible voice, and cut myself because I am stupid. And they call me dumb and useless to." I swallowed. I never told anyone this. Not even my only friend, Josh.
"You aren't fat. Is that why you don't eat? And you probably don't have a bad voice. Let me hear you sing. I won't tell anyone." She said.
"Yes and I don't know i-if I should. But maybe t-this once." I closed my eyes for a moment and decided. I know I don't know her, but soon I will be back to my home and no one will know.
I took a deep breath. "Waking up I see that everything is okay. The first time in my life and now it's so great. Slowing down I look around and I am so amazed. I think about the little things that make life great. I wouldn't change a thing about it this is the best feeling.
This innocence is brilliance I hope that it will stay this moment is perfect, please don't go away. I need you now. And I'll hold on to it don't you let it pass you by." I sang. Holly just stared at me and I looked down.
"I did bad, didn't I?" I sighed. See, I am so bad. She pulled my face level with hers. "That was amazing." She smiled and I swallowed.
"You really think so?" I turned away. "Yes! You did great. Your friends were so wrong." She laughed. "T-thank you." I nodded and closed my eyes, putting my head back.
I felt like I was sick. I was sweating and hot. I needed to tell her, but I was too scared. She will just reject me and say no, and then hit me and- no, she won't hit me. She's Holly short, she works for the L.E.P. She'll just say no.
No physical contact, thank Frond. Artemis, Butler, and Juliet walked back in, laughing and talking. Well, Juliet was the only one laughing, but the rest were talking.
"Yeah." Juliet laughed. "And I was like- OMG! HI ALEX!" Juliet yelled. I flinched and pulled my knees to my chest, burying my face so I didn't have to look at them. I thought Juliet was awesome in the book, but was too loud in this world.
"Alex?!" She pried my head up and smiled. I winced as she frowned. "What's wrong?" she asked. "Nothing." I whispered, scared if I said anything else she would scream. And I don't like loud things.
"Okay!" she said happily and sat down next to me. My throat hurt, so I swallowed, and that made it hurt more. So I kept doing that over and over, feeling the pain go through me.
I moved away from Juliet a little so I didn't have to sit, like, right next to her. She just moved closer to me. D'Arvit.
Now I was dripping with sweat probably. Okay, maybe I'll ask now. "C-could you turn down the heat?" I asked. "She is sweating quite a lot." Juliet observed.
"It's super cold in here. Only seventy five degrees. But I'll change it if you want. What degree do you want it?" Holly asked and moved to the cold/hot control thingy.
"25." I always had my room like that. "WHAT! Um, okay." Holly was looking at me. As soon as she hit the numbers, the room went like that. I quit sweating and adapted quickly.
"Thank you." I nodded. Holly, Juliet, and Artemis were shivering. "How can you stand this?!" Juliet shivered. "My room i-is this t-temperature. I-I am used t-to it" I looked down. I think Juliet will yell at me because I had my room like that.
"Um, okay." She said awkwardly. "Now, Alex. F-Foaly and I-I are working to figure out h-how to get you h-home." Artemis's teeth chattered. I love the coldness. So cold, like the kids at school.
"O-okay." I whispered. "Are you cold? B-because you are stuttering." Juliet asked. "N-no I am not cold. I j-just don't like talking. W-when I do, I g-get scared and sound l-like this." I explained quietly. "Okay." She made a weird expression.
"For the time being, you will be staying at Fowl Manor." Artemis stated. Interesting. I wonder who made him let me stay with him.
2 hours later…
We were already at the house and Artemis had shown me my room. It was a dark purple , with a window with thick curtains so no light would pass unless wanted. There was a desk with lots of note books and pens. I had my own bathroom and dresser filled with clothes my size.
Since I had minor OCD, I kept everything clean and in groups of five. Once I read Atlantis Complex, I got myself addicted to the number five and hated the number five minus one. It was by accident. Don't say (4) (A/N This is actually true. I got myself addicted to the number five and am now OCD. I can't stop doing stuff like counting, rearranging and stuff like that. Do not try it.)it in front of me or I will go crazy.
That would mean I would ask you to say five minus one. That is really crazy if you know my personality. I made my room super cold the way I liked it and started re arranging stuff into groups of five. After I had done that I checked the time. 5:55. I love the time right now.
I sat down on my bed and just stared at the ceiling. The bed wasn't where I usually sat. it was in a chair or in the corner with pillows so I could lie down.
So I sat in the chair and picked up a note book. All of them were blank. I sat down and started writing. Sorry, the knife just slipped, Didn't mean to cut my wrists, the warmth of blood dripping down, making a puddle on the ground.
I smiled the smallest smile. I liked making poems. They make me happy. I like to express myself through music and poems. Mostly poems, but I make songs to.
Someone knocked on the door and I answered it quickly, not wanting to make the person mad. I guess it was Angeline. "H-hello." I whispered. "Wow, that room is quite cold, hon. Are you sure you are fine? But right now is time to eat. Would you like to join us?" she asked.
"I love t-the cold. And n-no thank y-you. I'm n-not hungry." I was sure she would blow up steaming mad I said no in any minute.
But she didn't. "Oh. Okay. Bye." She turned around and left. I sighed and went back to my poems.
How'd I do? Good or bad? Review please.
