REPLAY:
Chapter 25: A Plea from a Friend-
As soon as Artemis was finished, he exited the room Holly was staying at and headed towards the kitchen to meet Butler like he asked. Once there, Butler furrowed his brows, becoming confused of this meeting. The look on Artemis' face could be… Guilt.
Without looking into Butlers eyes Artemis started his statement, "There was a reason we had to be on such a low profile." He stopped, trying to put a connection through their eyes but couldn't. No matter what he tried, he couldn't look him in the eye.
"What is it Artemis?" butler asked, now concerned.
Artemis closed his eyes, "The reason I had to sneak Holly out was because Kelp wouldn't let me take her. I'm afraid that once Holly wakes up I have no choice but to turn myself in."
Butler's eyes seemed to double in size, he couldn't, he wouldn't go to prison for the fairies. Not if he anything to do with it. "No."
"I'm afraid so old friend."
"There has to be a way around this Artemis."
"There isn't, as soon as Holly wakes up it is a legal imprisonment. I can be charged with kidnapping, and at the accusation of the commander of the LEP. It does not look good."
"Why can't they take you now?"
"As I said before, Holly is at the verge of death to them. If she does… die." Artemis could barely choke out the word. "Then it will be kidnap, for now its home replacement care of a body." (Do I know how government works… No. All I know is it is annoying my parents. And I want to become a lawyer. Gosh. At least it looks official, OK!)
"what if she doesn't wake up?"
"then they can not take me."
Butler reasoned with conclusion. If Holly did not wake up then Artemis would not die in prison. He had to take care of his charge, even if it meant doing things he was not proud of. Butler stood up and immediately Artemis knew what he was thinking. Artemis stood at the doorway, blocking Butler from going out of the room.
"No Butler, I am not allowing you to hurt Holly."
But Butler wouldn't relent. "She is a threat to you Artemis, one way or another. I'm sorry, but you're my charge." He pushed Artemis gently out of the way.
"Butler!" Artemis exclaimed, "I am not only your charge, but also your employer. You do as I say. And if you won't listen to that… I am also your friend, and I am asking you please not to do this."
Butler stopped where he was and turned around, he was about to scold Artemis for playing that card when he met his eyes. Butler caught a gleam of something in his eyes. Hope, Artemis had a plan. Butler felt immediately reassured and nodded, thankful he didn't have to do what he intended.
Ok, now review! Pleasepleaseplease! OR I WILL KILL HOLLY! I CAN STILL DO THAT!
I think opal is my sister or something.
