Soooo, don't have anything. Replay!:

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."

Chapter time! Chapter 28: Confessions-

Holly looked into Artemis' eyes. Immediately she knew something was wrong. "What's the matter?" She asked.

Artemis was deep in thought, staring at his shoes. When Holly spoke it finally got his attention snapped back to the future. He looked at her, "Nothing."

Holly knew he was lying. She felt a pang of guilt hit her, but shook it off. She was with him, and they were both alive. That was all that mattered. But if that was the situation, why did the look in his eye bother her so much?

Artemis drew her into on more hug before leading her down to the kitchen. When they reached it, Butler was cooking. The manservant looked up, his eyes widening when he saw Holly. Then he surreptitiously gave Artemis a melancholy look, one that Holly wasn't supposed to catch.

Oh, but Holly did. And Holly was mad.

What did everyone but her know? Sure she haad been in a coma for a quarter of a year, but that didn't mean they had to hold information from her and treat her like a baby.

She freed her hand from Artemis', causing him to spin around to face her. His face filled with a fake questionable look.

"What's going on Artemis?"

"What do you mean?" He said, raising an eyebrow.

Holly rolled her eyes, she knew he knew what she was talking about. "You and Butler are keeping something from me, now what is it?"

Butler sighed and swapped another look with Artemis, this one full of guilt, "I'm sorry Artemis, she has a right to know. Do I have to tell her, or are you?"

Now it was Artemis' turn to sigh, he shut his eyes tight, contemplating how to tell her. With his eyes still closed, he explained. "Holly, remember when I said that I brought you here-"

"Yeah, I still don't know how you got Foaly and Trouble to agree to must have won some big trial or something over it."

Artemis smiled nervously, and that made Holly even more scared than she already was. "There was no trial."

"Then how did I get here?"

"Like I said before, I brought you here."

Holly added it all up in her head and came to a conclusion, "You really did kidnap me."

"Yes. And Holly…Trouble specifically told me not to. So when he found out you were gone, he came up here and well all in all…I'm not getting 'off the hook' as you would say. Even if I did revive you out of your coma, I can't guarantee that Trouble still wont prosecute me."

Artemis opened his eyes then, to find that Holly was not in the room anymore. He spun around to face Butler, who was looking down, chopping vegetables (Some of which y'all were throwing at me before, but anyway…) without looking up, Butler said, "She ran out of the room after you said 'off the hook.'"

Artemis turned and left the room, his mind turning, trying to figure out where Holly had gone. He searched the top floor and the downstairs. He searched until he was certain that she left the manor. He was about to give up, until he thought of something.

He went to the basement, going to her old cell. That was where he found her, sitting on the bed, sobbing. She looked up from her hands and at Artemis.

"I never thought you would even consider coming down here again."

"I didn't either." The elf replied through her tears. "But I knew you wouldn't think of here first."

Artemis nodded thoughtfully, "Holly, I made decisions that I might not be proud of. But I said I couldn't be away from you. Do you really think that being in Argons would have saved you? More likely you would be dead now."

Holly looked away, she knew Artemis was right. "Thanks."

"Don't thank me yet."

Holly laughed bitterly, still crying she shook her head. She just cried even harder.

"Calm down Holly, nothing is written out yet. There is no certainty on anything."

She did calm down, even if it was just a bit, it was still progress.

Artemis just hoped that Trouble didn't find out she was alive. At least for a little while.

Y'all done at being mad at me?
