Ok, so this chapter was mostly written by CaptainS10! I just wrote the bottom part, as you can tell by my badly portrayed romance. So yea… The Chap-Replay! (Oops)

Two hours later Artemis, Juliet, Butler, and Holly were all back at the manor. Unharmed thank goodness. As Artemis instructed, Butler laid Holly down in a bed in one of the guest bedrooms.

When Artemis' mother was sick, she had a heart monitor to make sure her heart didn't get too fast that it would explode. Artemis remembered putting it in the attic immediately after Holly healed her. He brought it down to monitor Holly's heart.

Now the Repl-Chapter! Chapter 27- Death (yea, there were not enough reviews…. SORRY PEOPLE I WARNED YOU!)

Artemis walked in the room, sighing when he saw Holly still sleeping on the bed. Looking away from the elf, he looked at the heart monitor and started messing with the wires on it.

She had been in her comatose state for almost three months now, and Artemis didn't really expect her to wake up, not now, maybe not ever, especially not with the steady decrease that the monitor was showing. It got lower daily, and at this rate it would completely fail around the next twenty-four hours, maybe sooner.

He knelt beside her, taking her small hand and cupping it in his, rubbing soothing circles in the center of her palm.

He sat there beside her for a while, wishing she would just open her eyes. He was unable to bring himself to leave her side, even for a moment. He had no idea how much time had passed, nor did he care. The only thing he cared about right now was being with her. Then the monitor started to beep. The boy jumped to his feet and spun around.

The monitor was going down, flat lining right before his eyes. Artemis looked back at the elf. Her breathing had ceased.

Moving with incredible speed, Artemis was down on his knees beside her, already performing the first steps of CPR. It took several tries; so many that Artemis was starting to loose hope, before results were yielded.

All of a sudden, the monitor lit up, her now rapidly pumping heart filling up the screen with up and down lines. The elf sat bolt upright, her chest heaving as she sucked in huge gulps of air.

The first word she managed to choke out: "Artemis?"

"Holly? Holly!" Artemis dropped down to her side once again. "Oh my God! Are you alright?"

"I-I think so," She croaked. "C-can I have a glass of water?"

"I'll go get it." The boy said, jumping to his feet and scurrying out of the room.

He returned a few minutes later with a huge glass of water in his hand. "Here," he said, gently putting the cup to her lips. She tried to take it from him, but he shook his head. "You're still too weak for that." He rebuked her softly. "I'll hold it."

She sighed, but relented and let him do it. "What happened? How did I get here? The last thing I remember… Opal," She gasped. "S-she shot me. How am I alive?"

He squeezed her hand gently, his other hand reaching up to stroke the side of her face. "Your magic healed you. You didn't die, but you didn't wake up either because your magic ran out before your heart was completely stabilized. Foaly wanted you transferred to Argon's clinic immediately, and you were there for a time. But I wanted to bring you here and wouldn't relent, so in the end I just had Butler sneak you out and bring you here. That's how you got here, by the way."

She looked at him, her mismatched eyes wide as she digested this information. She looked shocked, and a little scared. "So… What? Am I like, you know… your hostage again now?"

"What?! No! Why would you think that?! I just-"He sighed. "I know you probably don't approve of how I did that, Holly," He whispered. "But I couldn't help it. No one was leaving me any other choice. You were hurt, and I-" his voice broke. "It was my fault. I should have been paying attention, I-I shouldn't have let you take that shot for me. I wanted to be with you, and I couldn't stand to be away from you."

He looked up. The elf was looking at him, eyes wider than ever. If it was possible, they got even wider when she realized he was doing as he slowly leaned down in, closer to her, and closer. Holly slid to the side, away from Artemis.

"Artemis, I told you before that your elf-kissing days are over. Us kissing before… That was just to help each other, right?"

Artemis sighed, his face filled with emotional hurt for once, "Holly, I have tried to say this before. And I want to say it before Opal bursts into the room and kills us both." They both grinned at that, despite the conditions they were in at the moment. "I love you Holly. I realize that now after all of these years."

Holly sat up, with some effort, and said sternly, "Artemis, your elf-kissing days are over."

Artemis dropped his head, not able to look her in the mismatched eyes. He was about to get up and leave the room when Holly cupped his face in her hands quickly and brought her lips to his, kissing him gently.

When they broke the kiss, Artemis stared at Holly and shook his head lightly in confusion, his head tilted to the side.

Holly smiled warmly, "I never said anything about my human-kissing days being over."

DON'T KILL ME! I DIDN'T LIE! SHE DID DIE! FOR A SPLIT SECOND!
