Chapter 3.

Bree dragged Artemis by the arm to a table at the far left of the cafateria. Sitting at the table was a girl and a guy. Bree shoved Artemis into a seat and sat down next to him.

“Hey guys” Bree said “This is the new kid, Artemis.”

Everyone introduced themselves. The guy, Mitch, had curly blonde hair and, bright blue eyes and was quite muscular. The girl, Kate, had bright orange hair and grey eyes. She wore glasses and was extremly pretty.

“Artemis is going to be our bestest friend, isn’t he guys.” Bree enthused.

“Yeah, its about time we got another guy to hang with us. I was getting lonely.” Mitch agreed.

“Definetly” Kate giggled “This is going to be the start of a beautiful friend-” Kates mouth fell open and a hand the size of a shovel dropped onto Artemis’ shoulder.

“Artemis” Butler said “I have to talk to you in private.

Artemis frowned. He would have trouble explaining the giant manservantto Bree.

 He excused himself from the table and walked into an empty hallway with Butler.

“Well?” Artemis said “What is so important that you had to pull me away from some potential friends?”

Butler had to smile. Not to long ago Artemis would’ve been glad to be pulled away from ‘potential friends’.

Butler told Artemis about the warning he had just recieved. Artemis looked thoughtful then he said “Is Holly coming up?”

“She’s here” A voice said and Holly unshielded beside them.

“Oh yeah” she said, punching the air triumphantly “I just snuck up on the two most uptight mudmen ever!”

“Nice to see you too” Artemis said, smiling fondly at the elf. Holly hugged the mudmen then said “Why don’t we go somewhere we won’t be disturbed.”

She shielded and Artemis led them to an empty classroom.

“Ok” Artemis said “We need to find out who this guy is and what the threat is.”

“Foaly’s looking through your surveillance cameras” Holly said ” He’ll contact if he gets a picture.”

“We should get you out of school” Butler added “We’ll need a good excuse.”

Artemis nodded. “I’m on it.”

Hollys communicator rang and she answered it.

“Hello?”

She listened for a while then hung up and grinned.

“Foaly has a picture of the guy. It’s not very clear and he had to improvise a bit but it’s a picture.” She frowned “He said it was like as if the guy knew where the blindspots are.”

“Wait” Butler said “Blindspots?”

“We were going to tell you eventually” Holly said sheepishly.

Butler frowned but let it go.

“Anyway” Holly said “Foaly sent it to you via email.”

“Bentleys out front” Butler said “Lets go.”

Holly shielded and they left the school, Artemis sending a text message to the school’s principal saying that he needed to take time off due to a sick relative.
