16. Chapter 16 Depression

Hey guys I am back with another chapter. Yay! I have a bad feeling that something is going to happen soon…
*Opal wakes up from sleep*
Me: D'arvit…
Opal: You little-
Me: …I am taller than you by 2-3 feet
Opal: Save it Mud-girl.
Me: Don't get on my bad side Opal. Remember that I am the author and I will put an end to this if you use that attitude against me.
Opal: …You wouldn't do that for my fans…
Me: I would, if you still act like that.
Opal: *Sighs*
Me: Thank you. Now on to the story before Opal kills me, literally.
I DO NOT OWN ARTEMIS FOWL
Chapter 16: Depression
Continue of my diary (part2)
I have been wondering for 2 years how to get rid of my Mother. She was feeling depressed and I had the advantage. Now this is what happened to her.
Opal sat in her study closing her diary and locking it. She waited for 2 long years now she was 18 years old. She was a full adult to take on the years of college or university. She applied to a university that was named The North Haven University or N.H.U for short. She was glad that Holly Short didn't get in, now she would not be bothered in this particular school. There was that one guy in her class, which his intelligence was pissing her off. His name was Foaly. He was a centaur that was very paranoid. He thought that human intelligence can read his mind. He wore a tinfoil hat and apparently he invented things as well. That was just at her school that things are starting to get on a bad start, but will soon turn over after she is the most famous inventor in Haven.
Opal walked around her study. She was thinking about how and when she will commence her next crime. It occurred to her that her house felt more quiet and safer when hardly anyone was in the house. Opal had made her brother's rooms into a science room. She had set up her inventions around the room. The only people who are actually in the house were Opal herself, her Father working in his study, Kristina who actually wasn't there for a reason, but she was still alive and the last was Stephanie her Mother.
Opal found out that her Mother was now suffering from depression. She was very vulnerable to anything that Opal could through at her. Opal walked towards her Mother's room and knocked on the door lightly. The calling of her Mother was quiet and soft. When Opal walked into the room, she saw her Mother lying on the bed. She was lowering her head and she sat in a dark corner of the bed. The curtains were closed and no light was coming into the room. It was completely dark.
"Mother?" Opal asked and her Mother looked up at Opal who was standing at the door.
"Close the door." Opal obeyed her Mother and Opal walked towards the bed. Stephanie was curled up cat-like. Her eyes had bags underneath and it was a frightening thing to see. Opal gasped at the sight and her Mother just sat there, not talking.
"Uh-Mother… How are you doing?" Opal asked, acting like she was actually cared about her. Opal looked down at the floor, her eyes not gazing at her Mother. Her hands were together, behind her back. Her Mother didn't make any eye contact to her daughter, but she was talking at the least.
"What do you think Opal? I have been in her for days without sleep. I haven't even eaten for 48 hours! Now, Opal what do you think?" Her Mother crossed her arms and tightened her shape. Opal was actually surprised she hasn't moved out yet, so she wouldn't have to deal with this crap. Opal had plans for this house, once everyone is dead, (except Kristina of course) Opal would have the house to herself. She walked up more to her Mother's side and wondered if this would be the time to 'remove' her.
"Ah, I see you are stressed. Let me analyze, depression I presume?" Opal asked her Mother. Stephanie stroked her own arm, gently moving her hand from her wrist to her shoulder. She looked into Opal's eyes and saw deep, chocolate, cold, brown eyes. She didn't believe that the fact she was looking at her own daughter. She wondered if something strange had happened to her daughter.
"I am guessing that. I felt a strange black hole in my heart. I am not myself lately and Opal, I am so sorry. It's just that, Jacob died because of a bomb, Tyler died because of heights and Matt died because of a science reaction. I have of a feeling that you or Kristina will die too. I can't bear to see that happen too. This is all too much for me. Death took the lives of my sons; I don't want it to take the lives of my daughters too. I just want to be alone or better, die to be with them." Her Mother explained herself and Opal smiled a cold smile. A good thing her Mother didn't see that. Actually I took their lives, but whatever you believe okay. Opal thought.
"I wonder if you can put all these feelings away. What humans say, lose your humanity?" Like what I have done. She thought again. Opal sat at the edge of her Mother's bed looking at her.
"Opal, what has gotten into you? I don't even know how you changed, but you seem different. I don't even know if you are my daughter. You used be more kind, more helpful, more caring. Now you don't care about your brother's deaths, you don't help anyone, you seem less kind." Opal sighed and growled in her head. She took her Mother's hand, with both of her hands.
"Mother, let's save this drama and go somewhere together. Let's say the mall. We can go to the spa and go shopping. We can use dad's credit card. Get more clothing for you because you need a fashion upgrade." Opal felt like talking to a friend or a sister, but she needed her mom to look nice when she dies. She maybe kills herself, which will save her a lot of time and effort. Her Mother forced a smile.
"Well, if you insist that we spend some Mother, daughter time, then okay" Opal let go of her Mother's hands and walked towards the curtains that were shut closed. Instead of a sun, they had a bunch of lights underground. It worked exactly like the sun. Opal ripped the curtains open and then her Mother narrowed her eyes at the sight of the lights hitting her pupil. Opal looked at her Mother and made a face of that had disgust written all over it. She looks horrible, old too. Opal thought then tossed her Mother some shades.
"You'll need that when we are outside." Opal grabbed two pairs of her dragonfly wings and handed one to her Mother.
Ancient Oak Mall
Opal and her Mother Stephanie had just gone to Haven's Best Spa in the Mall. They also went to the Fairly Better Clothes store. Fairies should be more creative with their names of stores and other things. Humans seem to have better names than themselves. Stephanie had a radiant glow to her skin, from the spa, that hasn't happened since her family started to fall apart. Opal used her Father's credit card to get her Mother a nice blue dress. The dress had fairly thin straps and it was down to her Mother's knees. She was being nice for once, just for this moment then she would do her murder magic. Her plan wasn't exactly murder, but it would consider her dead. Her Mother wore that dress right after they have bought it. Not many girls Opal's age would want their Mother to shop with them. Opal was now an adult so she could just do things her own way. Opal rolled her eyes at the sight of her Mother showing her clothes that would be perfect for her. She preferred a shirt that had a thumb hole at the bottom and a pair of jeans. That suited her perfectly. Also Opal preferred vertical thin stripes. Her Mother was stalling.
"Hurry up Mother!" Opal sounded like the Mother instead of the child. Stephanie was the child at the moment. It was amazing how the behavior of the Mother and the Child could switch so suddenly. Right now Opal was thinking about her plan, it was going to take a small turn rather than her story. Opal grabbed the hand of her Mother and left the mall. She made her Mother go into another building which was the closed down section of the mall. No one ever went to that section and that part of the mall was the perfect location for the murder. Everything was perfect; nothing could go wrong, not when Opal was in charge. Her Mother stopped suddenly on their way to the location.
"Where are we going Opal?" Opal didn't answer, but she kept walking towards the building. "Answer me Opal!" Her Mother shouted. Irritating woman. Opal thought then turned around to see her Mother, her eyebrows were narrowed and face tightened. Opal had to put on her best acting skills in order to fool her own Mother.
"I just want to spend some alone time with you in that building. Remember what you said? Mother daughter time? I want to talk to you about our life. What we are missing. Pleeeeease?" Opal pleaded and put her hands together. Her Mother didn't see that she was acting and smiled.
"Okay Opal. We should talk about your school huh? I haven't heard from you since…" Her Mother sighed and Opal leads her towards the building. She heard her Mother start to weep because she just got the memory that her falling is dying, literally. Opal and Stephanie went inside the building. The light inside the building were off, but there was enough light outside that it lit up the insides of the mall. Opal and her Mother sat down on a bench. The section of the mall was huge. Why wouldn't someone come to this side? It shut down because of the sales weren't going up, it was going down. The building was supposed to demolish in one month. They were lucky to get there before the deadline.
"So Opal how was school?" Her Mother asked wiping her tears. Opal sighed and looked at her Mother.
"Do you really think that I would like to talk about school right now? What about you? How are you feeling at the moment? How are you feeling about the deaths of my bothers?" Stephanie was shocked by what topic pal had brought up. Did Opal really want to talk about that? Her Mother thought. Of course Opal wanted to. She wanted her Mother to die in depression, die in discomfort. She wanted her to die knowing that Opal had killed them. Her Mother started to cup her hands to her face and tears started to roll down her cheeks. Her Mother lay down on Opal shoulder.
"Why is this happening to our family? Who is killing all of us? Is this revenge?"
"It is revenge." Opal murmured, but her Mother didn't hear her. Opal stroked her Mother's head, like a Mother to a afraid child. She made her Mother sit up and looked into her eyes.
"Do you want to leave this entire thing Mother? Do you want to rest in peace? Put this all away for the rest of your life?" Her Mother nodded and Opal walked towards a dark area of the mall. This part was near a broken elevator. The shaft doors were opened, but nothing inside of it.
"Come over here." Opal asked and her Mother came towards Opal. Her Mother was very depressed. Opal could tell by the her Mother's body shape and in her eyes. This was the best time to kill her. Opal took out a knife from her pocket and her Mother back away a few steps. Opal walked up to her Mother handing her the knife. Opal frowned to her Mother, but in the inside Opal was laughing deviously.
"You can end this now Mother or suffer the emotions and see the rest of us die." Her Mother looked at the knife and saw her own reflection through the knife's steel. Her eyes were red from crying.
"You want me to commit suicide?" Asked her Mother and Opal shrugged.
"If you want to leave and be with your boys you can. Just remember that I will take care of the family. You know me; I am intelligent. I can surely take care of Kristina and Father." Opal smiled and her Mother looked at the knife again. Her Mother put the knife to her chest and held it steadily.
"Do you really think I should really do this?" Her Mother asked. Opal didn't reply and her Mother gripped the knife and she jabbed it into her chest. She didn't hit her heart but it was close. Stephanie fell to the ground. Blood was blossoming on her blue dress. The blood started to spread and almost her entire chest was covered in blood. Her face was turning pale and her skin started to get ice cold. Stephanie was still breathing, not for long though.
"Hey Mother, I have to tell you something before you die… I killed my brothers. I murdered them. Now I convinced you to kill yourself, revenge is my passion I crave, I will next kill Father, he will be joining you shortly." Her Mother's eyes widened in disbelief then Opal took out the knife from her Mother's chest and her Mother threw up blood. Opal threw the knife landing on her heart. Stephanie breathed her last breath and then her eyes showed no life at all. Opal took out the knife and placed it on her dead Mother's hand. To make it seem like a suicide. Opal walked towards the door laughing, she stopped suddenly to hear something in the elevator shack. She looked down of the shack and saw nothing. She felt a sharp and fatal pain on her back. Something has gone into it slicing her across her body.
"D'arvit" Opal said. She fell into the elevator shack which was 2 stories high. She fell on the ground hard, landing on her back. She assumed that the sharp thing was a knife and it went deeper into her when she fell. It was a good thing that Opal still had her magic, or then she would be killed for sure, dealing with her Mother and brothers. She saw a black figure look down and then it threw a note, which landed on her stomach. Opal felt the pain and it was paralyzing. She couldn't move. Blackness was taking over. Opal still had a little strength to take out the knife so she could fully heal. She did so and blood was spilling. Her body would turn off, letting her system heal. Opal didn't have time to read the note only think about the plan for the moment. Her eyes rolled back and she went unconscious. The last thing she heard was the sirens of the police shuttle.

Kristina ran towards the location in the book. She ran as fast as she could then she reached the location of the murder. She searched inside the building, and then she saw a pale white hand peeking from the shadows. She went towards it and used a flashlight she had on her key chain. She pressed the button and she fell to her knees in sadness. She was too late. Her Mother was laying there cold dead in the shadows. Kristina felt the blood, it was fresh. Kristina's throat started to get dry and she couldn't hold it back any longer. Tears started to flow freely from her eye lids, landing on her Mother's face. Kristina's head fell to her chest, her crying started to get worse. Her own Mother has been murdered by Opal herself. Opal was her daughter too.
"I will get her, even if it's the last thing I do" Kristina dialed the L.E.P and someone picked up after the second ring.
"Hello? This is the Lower Elements Police, what is your emergency?"
"Hello? Hi, I have a problem and it concerns death"

Okay, Opal is unconscious and the L.E.P is coming. Thanks for reading! :D Now can you please review? For me? (LOL). You don't have to, but I insist that you do. Next chapter is called: Broken relations.
