Butler reacted with speed powered by despiration. The figure was blown to pieces by Butlers gun. The figure let off the wail of a banshee and faded.Faded into the abyss.Butler could here something, Crying?Sobbing?Anguish. All he heard was his breathing. He heard himself screaming in pain. Sweet sweet pain. All that raced through butlers mind were two words, I’m dying. The pain ceased. What the hell was that?Butler thought. He had heard crying. Artemis crying. “God make it stop! Please, mommy, HELP ME!”Screamed artemis. Artemis was looking into the books that lined the walls. He looked at nothing but, fear obviously played in his eyes.Then his crying lowered to a sob, than nothing.”butler, help me up.Where is mother?Why did she not come. No one could have missed that.
