Hiya! Soooo, here's the chapter!

Over the next few days, Artemis and Holly didn't see much of each other. That was because Butler was determined to keep them apart in fear of Artemis's recent behavior.

However, he did accept the fact that Holly could not be locked in her room for days on end, so she was allowed to roam the manor as long as Butler knew where Artemis was at all times. Even if it meant to go send Juliet to spy on the genius-who usually found out the second she entered a twenty foot radius.

The day after Artemis had gone through the tunnels and to Holly's room, the chandelier in the main room blew a fuse. The chandelier was in fact so complicated to reroute to the circuits, even Butler couldn't fix it alone. And as neither Juliet nor Artemis could be of any assistance, they had to bring in a person to repair it.

The day before the person came, Butler was worried of the chance of Holly being exposed.

"Try to stay away from the main room tomorrow, okay?" Butler told Holly.

If only I knew how to go through the tunnels like Artemis,thought Holly, then I could be able to not risk exposure.

She nodded warily, but she knew that she would have to go through there at some point the next day.

Artemis stayed in his study in that amount of time. Company deals, and evil plots did not come as easy as you think when you have a fairy prisoner running around for whom you have mutual feelings for. She was so aggravating sometimes, but the last talk they had a few nights ago proved that they could have a civilized conversation.

Butler informed him of the chandelier and of the situation with the person coming to repair it, and his worries about Holly. Artemis didn't know quite what was worrying Butler. Holly was a former captain, she knew how to handle herself.

But perhaps she was showing signs of change. Constant worrying and being scared, and although he had brought in those himself, he couldn't help but wondering if this was the same elf he had kidnaped not even a month ago. But who was he to judge, usually he had his emotions in check and lately he had been so violent and angry.

I better meditate later, he thought to himself.

The next day came quickly, and when the person came Holly stayed in her room. Juliet came in to check on her soon after he arrived.

"Hey, Fairy Girl," the blonde said, closing the door.

"Juliet! He could here you!" she quipped.

Juliet went and sat next to the elf on the floor, leaning her back against the bedside, "And what if he does? He has a job to do, its not like he's going to go to the government just because I said the word 'fairy.'"

Holly sighed. "Point taken, I guess. I've just been on edge all day."

"Well, there's nothing to worry about. Now, how are those wounds healing?" she said, looking Holly over.

Holly levered her arms in front of her. "I can put my arms up to here now."

Juliet took in a sharp breath. "Ouch," she finally muttered.

Holly laughed. "Yeah."

Juliet got up. "Come on, we can go and watch a movie in my room."

Holly shrank back down, wincing as it caused a shot of pain in her back. "No thanks, then we would have to cross Butler and..."

"Josh."

"Thank you, we would have to cross Butler and Josh. And I've been through enough this past while, I would rather not like to be discovered today and then dissected tomorrow, so no thank you."

"Come on, Holly," the girl groaned, rolling her eyes. "I'll distract him and you can go and sneak into my room. And you won't even have to cross Artemis in his study, he's downstairs."

Holly thought about this for a moment. "Fine," she mumbled.

"Great!" Juliet exclaimed, jumping up and scrambling to the door. "Just give me a thirty second head start." Then she left the room.

Now it was Holly's turn to roll her eyes, nevertheless she counted to thirty and left, covering her ears the best she could with her short hair.

Holly turned to the right. Juliet had already distracted the unfamiliar human, though he was still mostly focused on the chandelier. Holly crept past Butler and was about halfway there when Josh lost his footing on the ladder, knocking down the chandelier. It flew sideways, heading straight for Holly.

Luckily, Butler was ready for anything. He pushed Holly out of the way at the very last second, and then rolled himself to safety. But was Holly safe?

Far from it.

Holly tripped when she was pushed backwards and was rolling down the staircase, not at a hard enough pace to kill her on impact, but not exactly a soft pace either. It still hurt.

And unfortunately, that meant she was going to hit the bottom of the stairwell...hard.

She was already wounded bad, and with her bouncing down each stair this last blow could mean the end for her. Holly braced herself for the hard floor hitting her.

But it never came.

No, it never did. Instead she was caught.

By Butler? No.

By Juliet? No.

Holly opened her eyes, her hazel ones meeting his ice blue ones.

"Are you okay?" Artemis asked, concern flashing in his face.

Holly tried to speak, but that fall didn't go by without repercussions, and the repercussion of that fall hurt... a lot.

Artemis asked again if Holly was okay, but the elf was too weak to answer, and blacked out before either of them could make another move. She was bleeding badly, yet again.
