The Unexpected Traitor

Tears

First chapter! Unless you count the prologue, of course.

Disclaimer: I am an American female thirteen-year-old. Not an Irish genius. *sniff sniff*

Artemis got out of bed and looked around. The room felt empty. Even though they had broken up a couple months ago, Artemis sometimes expected her to fly through the window and lay beside him until he woke like she did in the summer.

(flashback)

Artemis's fairy communicator beeped. He answered it and a holographic screen came up, showing Holly's face. He smiled, and she returned it.

"Hey, Holly." That's what she did to him sometimes. He had never spoke a slang word in his life before she came along.

"Hey, Mud Boy." Her smile was brief, and it soon faded into a thin line.

"Artemis, I miss you. A lot. I can barely stand it."

"I'm right there with you. My father says I should focus more on my schoolwork. He must have forgotten that I am a genius," Artemis scowled. "It's good to see your face, Holly. I don't know what I would do if I couldn't, ever."

Holly shed a tear. She didn't want to this, she really didn't. But it was entirely necessary.

"Artemis, I can't go on like this. Wondering when I will next see your face. Or if I will see it this month. Artemis..."

Artemis internally collapsed. "Holly, are you...?"

Holly was crying now. "Artemis, I think it would be best if we split up for now. Long-distance relationships never end well."

Artemis was crying too. "Yes...well...goodbye Holly."

The last the the fairy saw on the screen was the soaking face of the Mud Boy who's heart she had just broken.

(flashback ends)

Holly woke up on a couch. That was the first thing she noticed. Then, through her half-closed eyes, she saw Trouble walking toward her.

"Hey, babe," she said drowsily. "What happened last night? Because I know I didn't fall asleep on this couch."

"I can explain, Holly. I had to bring you here to talk to you. Come with me." He held out his hand, and Holly took it. They walked to the balcony of Trouble's apartment and looked down at the city.

"Look, Holly. Isn't it beautiful?", he asked.

Holly nodded.

"In fact," Trouble continued, "the only way it could be more beautiful...is if it were ours."

Holly gasped. "Trouble, what are you saying?"

He shrugged. "I'm taking over Haven, and I'd like for you to be on my side."

Holly responded by slapping him as hard as she could across the face, knocking him to the ground, and ran. She ran all the way to the Foaly's lab/office without stopping. She burst through the door, panting. "Foaly...Trouble is...going to...take...over Haven. I...need...to leave."

Seeing the shocked and angry look on her face, Foaly took her word, handing her a headset, a Neutrino 2000, and a set of Hummingbirds. He typed something on his computer, then turned to her.

"Go. There's a magma flare in five minutes in the nearest chute. I've got you covered. You have clearance to go as fast as you need to, wherever you need to."

Holly nodded once, then bolted out the door, strapping on the wings as she ran.

Artemis was playing depressing emo music on his piano. Enough said.

Holly flew over Ireland, scanning for Dublin. Or rather, a certain house in Dublin, where she might be able to stay if she was lucky, and where she might be able to get a young genius on her side if she was very lucky. She hoped that particular genius wasn't mad at her.

Even though the story is finished, I would love a comment!
