Loading ...Chapter 6: Mangoes and Dionaea Muscipula (Don’t Ask)
Holly trudged on through the last stretches of the hot desert, the golden disk of sun rippling above her head. Her feet hit hard good earth, and she spat out her pebble; Artemis followed her lead. “Well, here we are,” she said, trying to stare through the jungle seperating them from the huge mountain and it’s life giving water. She stumbled into the shade, feeling the temperature drop several degrees.
“Oh thank God!!” Artemis said.
“Hear that?” Holly asked. Artemis listened to his own echo. “Well so did every other creature in this forest. Now they all know we are here.”
“Holly, animals are not cabable of that level of thought,” Artemis said, and then marched in the direction of the waterfall.
“Well go ahead! I’ll leave when I want to! And don’t come crying when you are starving in this Godforsaken forest!” Holly yelled after him. 5 minutes after he set off, she followed. She didn’t know it, for she took a different path to the waterfall, but she had already passed Artemis. As she stepped up onto a root, she felt it move. Looking down by her shoe, she saw a 22 foot anaconda towering over her. “D’arvit!” she cursed, and began running. Artemis heard her curse and smiled, safe in the crook of a tree. Holly kept running, and eventually tripped over a root, landing hard, and twisting her ankle. “D’arvit!!!!!!” she cursed again. This just wasn’t her day. She was trapped on an island with no communications, with Artemis of all people, and now she had gone and hurt herself, without a drop of magic in her.
As she looked up, she saw a huge plant looming over her. Shelter, she thought, and ran toward it. Soon the anaconda had left, and she crawled out of hiding. By accident, she brushed one of the many hairs on the plants stem. In less time than it would take to blink, she was caught in a giant Venus Flytrap.
Artemis followed Holly’s trail, eventually coming to the root she had tripped over. He looked up, saw the flower, and gasped. “Dionaea Muniscipula,” he whispered. “What a specimen…” Then, trying to think straight, he picked up a fairly large, sharp stone, and threw it straight at the stem. It was a lucky throw, and struck right in the middle of the stem, cutting it. The flower opened, and Holly fell out, her suit and skin burned to about the second degree. She obviously didn’t have a spark of magic left. He picked her up gently, and set off towards the waterfall. Twice she woke up, but only for a second, passing out almost immediately from pain and magic depletion.
Artemis had finally reached the cave, behind the waterfall. He set Holly down, her burns starting to ooze. He set out in search of some kind of natural cure. Soon, he found a mango tree. For once he didn’t feel like talking, for he had no one to talk to, so he tried to climb silently. He picked as many mangoes as he could, set them on the cave’s sandy floor, and then picked up a stick, setting out to find moss. Later, with moss, and mangoes, he bagan to cut open the mangoes over the moss with a sharp piece of obsidian, soaking the moss in mango juice. The natural sugars and starch in the juice would disinfect the moss. Then, he went and soaked the moss in the clean spring water of the waterfall, and he then placed it gently on her burns. If she had been awake, it would have felt like putting hydrogen peroxide on the wounds, but the stinging would recede, and he would change the moss out with regular water soaked moss. He wrapped her ankle, which was starting to swell, with twigs, and palm leaves. He sucked slowly on a mango, waiting for Holly to wake up. He drizzzled water over her forehead periodically, trying to cool the fever. He sat there until the sun set in the west, outlining a dolphin’s back as it leapt.

My my Holly dear. look at all the reviews you’ve got. Sorry it took so long but I’ve been off and on traveling through Wisconsin to get back home. Anyways, yes this is a brilliant story. Artemis and Holly fall into charecter very simply, perfect fit. You could be Eoin Colfer’s Double
May I suggest that you multi task? and not only add to this but to make new stories as well? I look forward to them all. Especially to your updates to this particular story. Again my apologies for being so late.

October 19th, 2007 at 9:40 pm
they’re practically trading emotions. Everyone is capable of that, but their ability was triggered by panic, and need.
