Story Details

Okay, this is just something I came up with when I heard Avril Lavigne’s song “Keep Holding On” This has nothing to do with my adventures with ARtemis, this is completely separate (yes! I spelt that right!) Sooo, get your tissues ready, and here we go!  

Keep Holding on.

There had been a terrible accident. Livia had been walking down the street when a guy sped up and ran into her while she was beside the sidewalk doing up her shoe. Simply sped up and drove into her. Then, whoever had run into her, drove away. Some other pedestrians had seen this and they called 000. Artemis, Sam and Dean had been sitting at home waiting for Livia to come home from her walk when the hospital rang Dean’s phone.
“Hello?” he answered. He had a look of horror on his face.
“What?! When did this happen?” more talk from the other line. Artemis and Sam were leaning forward in suspense.
“We’ll be right down…thank-you!” he shot up.
“Livia’s been in an accident! She’s in the hospital” Dean said grabbing his keys.
“What? Why, what happened?” Artemis asked following him. Sam stood up and followed beside Artemis.
“Some idiot ran into her on the sidewalk. Hitman or something.” Dean explained. They all got into the car and drove off.
“What’s her situation?” Sam asked sitting next to Dean.
” Critical. She could go into a coma. She’s bruised, cerebral damage and a shattered arm” Dean said.
“Who would do this? Will she survive?” Artemis asked leaning forward.
“I don’t know. The doctor just said we should come down” Dean said. They finally arrived at the hospital and rushed inside.
“Winchester?” Asked the nurse at the station.
“Yeah” Dean answered.
“Right, I’ll go and fetch the doctor” she smiled standing up.
“Wait! How’s our sister?” Sam asked her.
“She’s in the ICU at the moment. She’s stabilised and she is conscious but she’s sleeping at the moment. You can see her soon. I’l fetch the doctor” she smiled at Sam, Dean and Artemis then walked away. Sam and Dean sat down on the benches provided, Artemis decided to pace for a while.
” I hope she’s o.k” Artemis mumbled.
“She will be.” Dean replied softly. They sat there quietly, convincing Artemis to sit down. Fifteen minutes later, two police officers came down the hall.
“Are you the Winchesters? And the Young Mr. Fowl?” A tall dark haired one asked.
“Yes, that’s us” Sam confirmed.
“Hello, I’m Sergeant Daniel and this Sergeant Blake. Were here to talk about your sisters accident?”
“Yes, what can we do?”
“We have reason to see that this was no accident, but a purposeful attempt to kill her. We just need to ask you a few questions about it and we may be able to track down the hit and run man.” Sergeant Daniel explained.
“o.k, whatever we can do to help”.
“Funny how this is the second time we’ve been in hospital because of car accidents” Dean said to Artemis.
“So what relations do you all have to Livia?”
“Sam and I are her brothers, Artemis is her boyfriend” Dean said. The police officers wrote down the answers in their notepads. Artemis heard people shouting and he turned around. Someone on a hospital bed was being wheeled to the surgery. The doctors were yelling complicated things to each other. All of them had stopped to see who it was. Artemis turned fully around because he knew who it was. It was Livia.
“BP below 120!”
“No pulse!”
” Patient is non reactive!” Were some of the things they were yelling.
“LIVIA!” Artemis said following next to them. Dean grabbed him and pulled him next to him.
” Doctor! What’s happening?!” Sam asked one of the men rushing after her.
“She’s having a seizure and maybe going into coma” He said.
“What? Why?”
“We think maybe internal bleeding or ruptured organ”
“Oh god.” was all Sam could say. The doctor looked sorry for him, gave him a pat on the back.
“We will do all we can.” He said, then he ran into the surgery.
“We’re sorry. Do you wish to continue this on another day?” One of the police officers asked Them.
“No, we’ll be o.k” Dean said letting Artemis go to Sam who hugged him.
“Well, one more question. Do you know anyone who might want to do this to her? Any enemies or such?”
Artemis looked at them and knew a few, but both of them were in jail, he was sure of it.
“No, nobody. At least, no one we knew.” Sam said.
“Well O.k then. We’ll catch up with you on another day. Here’s our card, if she does make it through, it would help if she could talked to us. All the best.” The officers said handing Dean a card and giving him a hopeful smile.
“I guess they’re not to bad. For cops” Dean said sitting down. They all sat outside the surgery waiting for Livia. Minutes turned into hours. Sam and Dean had a coffee and Artemis some tea. Three hours into the surgery and still nothing. Four hours. Five. Nothing. Eventually, six hours later, a doctor came out.
“How is she? Is she O.K?” Dean asked shooting up. Sam and Artemis by his side.

#” Your not alone, together we stand, I’ll be by your side you know I’ll take your hand”#

“There were some complications, but we can’t say for sure how she is. She has regained consciousness, but she is extremely weak. You can see her when we’ve moved her back to a room.”
“Thanks Doc,” Sam said. Five minutes later, they were in her room. Livia was just awake, and Artemis was at her side. Sam and Dean were on the other.
Artemis was holding her hand. Dean was stroking her head, and Sam sitting there.

#” When it gets cold, and it feels like the end, There’s no place to go you know I won’t give in”#

“Boys, it’s over for me.” Livia said sniffling.
“Don’t you dare say that. You’ll be fine. Just, keep Holding on. We’re here by your side” Dean said.
“I know, but with my damage…who knows. I won’t give in, I’ll keep fighting, but..”
“But nothing Livia. You will be fine. I know you will.” Artemis said giving her a kiss.
“I know. But I doubt it. Boys, If I don’t make it, I want you all to know, I love you. I love all of you like there’s no tomorrow”
“Liv, don’t talk like that.” Sam said starting to cry.
“I’ve died before, but John and Holly saved me. This time, I don’t have a chance. I love you o.k, and I’ll be watching over all of you when I go to heaven o.k?”
“Livy, please” Artemis said also getting teary. She stroked Sam’s face and she smiled at Artemis.
“I love you all, no matter what.” She smiled.

#” No I won’t give In…”#

“Livia, don’t go to sleep.” Dean said softly.
“I…I’m not….” And she bucked in her bed.
“Help!! Doctor!!!” Sam yelled out the door. The doctors flooded in pushing the boys out. Artemis stood by the door watching them give her a defibrillator.
‘Clear!” BZZZZT! Nothing. It went on.

#” Keep Holding On, ‘cos you know we’ll make it through, make it through,
Just, stay strong, ‘cos you know I’m here for you, I’m here for you

Artemis remembered al the times Livia had been there for all of them, comforting them in their time of need, and now it was her turn. She needed them, and no matter what, they were going to be there for her.

#” there’s nothing you could say, nothing you could do, There’s no other way
when it comes t the truth, so Keep Holding on, ‘cos you know I’m here for you, here for you “#

“Clear!” BZZZZZT
“Charging” the doctors were all shouting. Artemis and the boys were by the door, crying, praying Livia would come through.

#” So far away, I wish you were here, before it’s too late this could all disappear.
Before the doors close, and it comes to an end, with you by my side I will fight and defend.”#

“She’s fighting to come back, she’s not giving in.” One of the doctors said coming out.
“What?” Sam asked.
“Well, she’s obviously fighting hard, we can tell she’s battling her way back to consciousness, she’s fighting, and defending.” He said.
“Come on Livia, you can do this” Artemis mumbled, tears rolling down his soft cheeks.

#”I’ll Fight and defend”…#

“We’re back into sinus with her” A nurse said. The doctors all examined her and then eventually, only one remained.
“She’ll be o.k. For now. But who knows if something like this happens again.” He said. Then he left. The boys walked in and sat by her side again.
“Livia, keep going, you can make this” Artemis said stroking Livia’s cheek. Livia now had a tube attached to her mouth and she was sleeping.

#’ Keep holding on, cos you know we’ll make it through, make it through
Just, stay strong, cos you know I’m here for you, here for you
there’s nothing you could say, there’s nothing you could do, either way when it comes to the truth “#

Livia just opened her eyes to look at the boys.
“Liv” Dean said softly coming up to her, tears also falling down his cheeks.
“Boys” She smiled. Dean leaned low and Livia gave him a kiss on the head. She did the same for Sam and she gave Artemis a kiss.
“I love you, all of you.” She said starting to cry too.
“Don’t cry Liv, you’ll be o.k” Sam smiled crying.
“I’m not gonna lie to you guys, I’m scared, really scared.” She said.
“We are too Liv, but we’re here by your side, through the tough times and the lonely times. We’re here to hold your hand” Artemis smiled.
“Your all so sweet.” She smiled, starting to cry a little harder.

#” Keep Holding On, cos you know we’ll make it through, make it through,
Hear me when I say, when I say, I believe,
Nothin’s gonna change, gonna change destiny,
whatever’s meant to be we’ll work out perfectly
Yeah, yeah, yeah! ‘#

The boys slowly started to get tired, because it was nine thirty now. Livia started to sing softly.

#” la da da da, la da da da, la da da da da da da da da “#

“I’m sorry, but visiting hours are over, you’ll have to go I’m sorry,” A nurse said softly coming into the room. The boys all stood up and gave Livia a kiss. Artemis was last to leave, and he kissed her and then her forehead.
“I love you, I believe in you, we’ll make it through” He said. Livia smiled then kissed him back.
“I love you too. All of you. Forever” She said before the boys left.

#” Keep Holding On, ‘cos you know we’ll make it through, make it through,
just, stay strong, ‘cos you know I’m here for you, here for you,
There’s nothin’ you could say, nothin’ you could do,
There’s no other way when it comes to the truth
so Keep, Holding on, cos you know we’ll make it through, make it through,
Ahhh, ahhh,
Keep Holding on
Ahh ahhh ahh,
keep holding on
There’s nothin’ you could say! Nothin’ you could do!
There’s no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep, holding on…cos you know we’ll make it through, make it through…”#

Livia smiled as the boys left, and went to sleep, fighting her battle against the death that wanted her badly. Unfortunately, Livia died during the night, from severe internal bleeding, and a ruptured liver. The boys were informed in the morning, devastated by the news. Of course, they had a funeral for Livia, taking her and burying her on a hill, under a willow tree, where the moon was easy to see, because Livia loved this spot so much. Artemis’s parents attended, Butler, Holly, Trouble, Foaly, Bobby, Ellen, Jo, ash (Ellens kids) and Artemis and the boys themselves all attended. It was a beautiful ceremony, and they played this very song for her funeral.
She had died peacefully in her sleep and watched over her friends. The boys continued hunting, never knowing who had killed her. The truth was, Opal had killed her, mesmerising a human to do it. Livia was a peaceful girl, and Artemis still sits and talks to her like she was alive on occasions, vowing he would never meet another girl who was as special as she was. Livia kept her promise to watch over the boys, and she met Mary and John in the afterlife. The boys, Sam and Dean, every kill they made from now on was for Livia, and they would never give away any of her belongings. Everyday all of them thought about her, and how you never actually know what you have until it’s gone. There’s was a huge empty space in all of them, were Livia couldn’t be anymore. She was gone. Just like that. The last thing she had done, was kiss them, and say that she loved them. Forever. Artemis thought about that every night, and the fear in her eyes, and her soft, sweet voice when she had last sung for them.
“I’ll never love again” Artemis had said to Butler at the funeral. And he kept his word. Keeping pictures of Livia and himself close, and the clothes she used to wear, were still on his floor, with the same warmth and sweet smell she used to have. Nothing was ever the same. The headstone had beautiful Lilies around them and some pictures that Livia treasured. Her headstone read:

R.I.P Livia “Winchester” , May 23rd 1994 to 13th October 2008. A loving sister, girlfriend and a wonderful friend. May she rest in peace, and let the Angels keep her safe.

The end.

    Hmm…it’s pretty decent, Artemis is acting TOO OOC, and I caught some minor grammar mistakes. You could also seperate them into smaller paragraphs, and make it easier to read.

  2. English-Minerva Says:

    Who is this Livia person? And i will say Artemis is a bit OTT! Try and keep with the book!

  3. captain_artys_girlxx Says:

    Uhhh….thanks.I think. Artemis and Livia HAVE been together for TWO YEARS so, u know, if you were close to someone, then maybe he would. I dunno.

  4. Eloise Says:

    I think it’s sweet. If I were Artemis, and My girlfirnd just died, I might act like that too. I cried when I read this, it’s so emotional. *cry :’( *
