A/N Obviously, someone is getting kidnapped again but it's way different to the other chapter. Just wanted to make sure that we were on the right page. Sorry. I suck at jokes as much as Artemis. I'll get on with the story now.

Luna's P.O.V

I think I've figured out a backup plan. If Artemis gets the money, but doesn't give me back, I'll say that I'm ill, go to the bathroom, get some sleeping pills, put some in some water or something, make sure they eat or drink it, and get the first flight back to Scotland. I don't think he'll keep me but, just in case...

I hear footsteps heading to my door. I get into a cross-legged position, and wait. Artemis opens the door. I'm not seeing much of the bodyguard, but that's probably for the best. I am particularly skilled in the physical department, but not so much that I could overpower that big bulk mountain of a man.

"Morning Luna, want anything for breakfast?" he asks tentatively, he seems scared, "Morning Fowl, no I'm not hungry." I mutter, he frowns, "I thought we were on a first name basis." I feel a bit annoyed so I decide to stress him out, "I was under the impression that you are the kidnapper and I am the kidnapped. Those positions don't usually get to a first name basis." I point out," What's with the attitude? I thought we were going to act civil to one another." "Well I don't feel like being civil. Go away." I sneer, "What's up with you? Oh, wait, I think I know why..." he grins annoyingly, "What do you mean? Wait..." I realize.

Artemis's P.O.V

She ran to the bathroom in her room. I can only guess that my suspicions were correct when I hear a string of profanities through the door. She came back grimacing. "I need eggs, bacon, toast and orange juice with no pulp. Now." She hisses. I smirk, "That's more like it." I go off to get Juliet to cook it for her.

When I come back and knock on her door, a deep voice growling, "Go away. If you even think about coming in, I will rip your head off, sew it back on with a burning hot needle, rip it back off again, throw it on a cactus, dissolve it with acid and throw your body in an incinerator." I gulp before she adds in a calmer tone, "Unless you have food. Then you shall be spared from my wrath." I think I should make it out unharmed, so I open the door, put the plate down on the bed, and sit next to her. She looks at the food, growls, "For now, you shall be spared", grabs the toast and bites into it.

When she finishes, she suddenly pushes my off of the bed, "Get out before you feel my wrath." I scramble to get to my feet and get out of there. I hope she didn't realize that I was looking at her the entire time that she was eating. In her current condition, she was terrifying, but she somehow manages to look like an angel whilst having the temper of a demon. I sigh. The rest of the day went by at the speed of light. When I went to bed, I felt like something was wrong. Horribly, horribly wrong. But there couldn't be anything, could there? After all, Butler was doing his rounds, and I don't doubt his abilities. Nevertheless, something was amiss.

I get on to the computer and log on to the security. What I see makes my blood freeze. Juliet and Mother are fine in their separate bedrooms, but in the living room, Butler is lying under a table, unconscious. And worst of all, a raging battle is going on in Luna's room. She was throwing whatever she could get her hands on at someone or thing. There was some sort of being in the room, shooting bolts of energy at the objects flying towards it. I recognise the figure, but hope that it's not who I think it is, but as they turn around, my suspicions are confirmed. Opal Koboi is in my house and attempting to abduct my hostage. I rush as fast as I can to her room, but it was too late. Opal had already put a knife to her throat as soon as I open the door.

"Get away from her Koboi!" I demand, So cliché... she gives a maniacal cackle, "How very cliché. But no. I have her now, and there's nothing you can do about it! Now, step away, or the dear damsel in distress will spring a rather worrisome leak." Before I could take a step, Luna twists her arm back and jabs her in the stomach. Opal takes her arm way for a moment, momentarily winded. Luna makes a run for it, but Opal recovers too fast and shoots a blast of light that freezes her in her tracks. Before I can do something, she flies herself and Luna out of the window. They are gone.
