Loading ...Chapter 8: Moonlight
Artemis turned his back on her and shook his head. “So stubborn…” he said.
Holly ran out farther and farther from the waterfall, carefully avoiding the place where she knew the venus flytrap was. Finally she ran into the desert sands. She jumped as best as she could into the shifty sand, stumbled, and collapsed sobbing, onto the sands. She sat there for some time. She wasn’t quite sure what she was crying about. It wasn’t until the moon was high above her head that she knew what she was upset about. She was missing everything she had never had.
Artemis paced nervously about the cave floor. He knew Holly would probably be back before sunrise, but he was genuinely worried about her. She was one of the very few people he could call a friend. He tried to imagine what the Captain would be doing right now. He tried as hard as he could, and eventually was able to call up a picture of her sobbing on the sands, a bright, yellow, full moon shining above her head. He felt terrible, as if it was his fault that she had run off. Technically it is, said his pessimistic side. He just wouldn’t believe it.
Holly stared at the moon, round and yellow above her head. She saw in it, Artemis’ face. He was staring into the fire, and blaming himself obviously for their conflict, even though she knew it was her fault. She let the stars swing over her for a little while, and finally, after several minutes of internal conflict, decided to go back and apologize. She pulled herself up, gathered her dignity, and set a slow limping pace back to camp. The sky was tinging the sky silver with dawn when she spotted the cave. No light came from within; the fire must have burned to ashes long ago. She hobbled towards the cave. She had a bit of difficulty stepping onto the ledge, and fell down, swearing silently, twice.
She finally rounded the bend in the ledge, and saw Artemis asleep, in front of the embers of the night’s fire. It probably hadn’t lasted long without fuel. She stepped into the cave, feeling the warm sand on her feet. She kneeled in front of the fire, and began to blow gently on the embers. Soon, she had produced a slender tongue of flame to make breakfast. She gutted a mango with a sharp stone, and used the rapidly drying rind as a cup. She crushed the mango pulp she had gutted from the rind into the cup for something besides water to drink. Water, she thought, and drank what was in her cup. Holly then ran out to the waterfall, and filled her cup with the pristine sparkling water.
Holly rummaged through the cave for a flat stone, and finally finding one, set it over the fire, and her water on that to boil. All the commotion made Artemis stir sleepily.
Author’s note: Holly did all that in maybe 20 minutes, kk? Don’t lose track of time now…
“What? Holly? When did you come back?” Artemis said sleepily.
Holly ignored him, and began to crush one of the roots into a meal. Her water was steaming now.
“Did you hear me?” he said again, less sleepily.
She still ignored him, pouring her root meal into the bowl of boiling water, taking it hurriedly off the fire.
“You do happen to know that I gathered that food myself. And If you are trying to prove a point by cooking breakfast, it isn’t working.”
“Shut up, mud boy.” she said flatly.
“Don’t tell me you are going to run off again.” he said.
“Look, I know you are blaming yourself for last night. Don’t. You’ll end up killing both of us I’m sure. Now make yourself useful, and gather more water.” she said. She had let the grains of root soak up the water and grow fat, and now she poured the rest on the ground, straining it with her hands.
“I won’t take orders from anyone, and I will gather water when I want to.” he said stubbornly.
“Shut up,” she said playfully, only half smiling.
Then, Artemis knew she didn’t blame him for anything. He ran up to her, and hugged her tight, just as the sun broke free of the tree’s leafy hold. She pushed him away, shocked. ”I’m sorry,” he said. “I just never expected to see you again.”
“I don’t blame you for anything,” she said quietly. He just stood there. “Well? What are you waiting for, mud boy?” she asked. “I think you should get some water now.”

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.
