Ok, so ummm, getting pretty exciting right? Ya'll are pretty much strangling me in your mind. So, before I get to the good stuff, THE REPLAY!:
He ran up to Artemis, knocking over butler like a bowling pin in the process. "There was no new project, and nobody was going to question Holly, they weren't even informed about her memories returning, apparently all the security cameras are off, plus, they even told me they would have given her some time off before debriefing her."
Butler was still on the ground, shocked at how the centaur knocked him over so easily, when Artemis cried out, "D'arvit!" and ran out of the building.
Butler didn't even have time to get up, when the whole world turned black for Artemis.
Now here's today's chapter: Chapter 15: Dead Artemis-
Butler got off the ground and brushed himself off. Due to his new short height, Foaly had been able to knock him over with such little force, it was quite embarrassing. As the bodyguard got up, he finally realized that artemis was not in the picture anymore. He looked at Foaly, "Where did he go?"
Foaly was still staring the way Artemis ran. Butler sensing trouble went the way Foaly was staring. As Butler stormed through the front doors of the clinic, he picked up Artemis' sunglasses that had fallen off him (also that I had failed to mention before, sry!)
Butler went back to the hospital and Foaly came out of his shock as he saw the sunglasses in Butler's hand. "Oh no." He groaned.
Butler nodded, "What are we going to do? They both could be anywhere."
The glass doors slid open and Foaly and Butler looked towards the door, Foaly's jaw dropped open and Butler got a very confused look on his face.
"Juliet, what are you doing here?" Butler said very sternly.
Juliet smiled, "The wrestling tour got put in Dublin, so I decided to surprise you. But when I got to the manor, nobody was there. After calling you and Artemis like a hundred times, I decided to check the video cameras. Artemis forgot to erase the one with Holly outside the manor. After checking the calls made to the manor, I found that Holly had called. Like every call placed to Artemis, it was recorded. I listened to it and called Holly's communicator. Mulch picked up and got me down here."
Butler shook his head, he would have done the same thing if he was in her place.
Foaly on the other hand was outraged, "I put the communicator inside the ops booth, how did Mulch now get inside without me knowing?" I seriously need to upgrade the security patterns to the door. He thought.
Butler turned back to his sister, who had suddenly noticed who wasn't here. "Where's Artemis?" She asked.
"He disappeared when he ran after Holly and Sool." Butler replied.
"Wait, Sool? When did he come back?" When she regained her memory, Butler and Artemis told her what happened with Hybras, the time travel, and Opal.
So Foaly and Butler told her the whole story. At the end, Foaly asked Juliet, "what do you think we should do?"
Juliet gave both of them a eye roll, "you two are both…" She sighed before starting to talk again. "Foaly you are the most paranoid person I know, and Dom, you were trained by Madam Ko! Don't tell me neither of you have put a tracker on him."
They both looked at each other guiltily, and then rushed back to the LEP headquarters. When they reached the ops booth Foaly pulled up a screen that was covered by so many other files, it would be impossible for Artemis to find it. Thankfully he had not.
"Artemis seems to be on the surface, only about an hour or two away from the manor. Holly on the other hand doesn't have her uniform, so I can't locate her."
"Doesn't matter." Juliet replied simply. "I'm willing to bet my wrestling career that both of their kidnappings are connected."
Butler chuckled, "When in the last decade, have they not?"
Foaly organized a shuttle to get them to the place that Artemis' tracker had said. Once they got there, Foaly shut off all of the security cameras and they sneaked down the halls. They were about to go back to the shuttle when all three of them heard a gunshot. They broke into a run and reached a door that was locked. Butler kicked it open and inside Artemis was lying on the ground, blood pouring from a gunshot wound in his stomach and dripping to the pool surrounding him. While Foaly looked through the door on the other end of the room that was open, Juliet checked Artemis' pulse.
And…. End of Chapter! In fact End of story! Thnx for reading, its been a pleasure writing this story. Don't forget to comment and….. DO YA'LL SERIOUSLY THINK I WOULD LEAVE THE STORY LIKE THAT. IF I DID I WOULD BE INSANE! (well maybe I am just a little)
"He's still alive, there's a pulse, but barely.." She concluded. Butler was on the very edge of tears for once. Artemis, dead... like this. He didn't know it was possible. He was a failure.
Foaly sat down next to Artemis, looking him over before holding up his hands. Magic flew from them and landed on the wound, it wasn't like elf magic or sprite magic. It was red and so faint you could barely see it. When the sparks went away, there was no wound, and Artemis wasn't pouring blood anymore. In fact, he wasn't bleeding at all. Artemis suddenly coughed and tried to sit up, only to get very dizzy and lie down again. Artemis decided that this wouldn't be the best time to try to talk. Butler and Juliet stood, too shocked to speak. Foaly got up like what he just did was normal. When the centaur saw the expressions on the mud people's faces, he grinned.
"I should explain." He said.
"That would be nice." Replied Butler.
Foaly sighed, "Centaurs get one chance at magic in their lifetime. While some of us use it at the very first chance they get. I've been saving mine for something like this."
Butler was soon out of his trance after that, Artemis was alive. Not only had the boy come out of death once, but now twice! He stooped down to his charge (which wasn't that much since he still had the ring on), "Are you ok Artemis?"
Artemis shook the dizziness out of his head, until he realized something. Holly was still with Opal and the others, and now if No1 did what Opal was planning, Holly would be a prisoner not only to Opal and the others, but to her own brain as well. Fighting the dizziness he stood, "I know what Opal is planning, and where Holly is. I assume you took a shuttle to get here, and Juliet, I conclude that you watched the video feed that I left for you, yes, I knew you were coming to Dublin, and somehow got down to Haven."
Juliet was still shocked, now even more. But, it was Artemis of course he was going to find out she was coming back early.
As they hurried outside to the shuttle, Artemis filled them in on what Opal was planning for Holly. He didn't however; tell them that Holly was the one who shot him.
