“NO!!” Artemis shouted, holding Livia close and crying over her body. Dean couldn’t take it. He stood up and kicked a grave. Sam got up to comfort his brother. They walked over to Bobby, Ellen and Butler and helped them close the gate.
“Thanks Hun. Why you cryin’? Where’s Liv?” Ellen asked. The boys in tears gave her answer enough.
“Oh no” Butler gasped. They looked over and found Artemis with Livia. They all ran over.
“Oh god, poor Livia” Ellen said, getting teary too. Bobby looked up from Artemis and Livia to see Sam and Dean standing over another body.
“Artemis, come on” Butler said. Artemis was hesitant. He kissed Livia’s forehead then placed her on the ground gently. They all walked over to stand above the Demon’s human.
“We did it. Liv did it. All our life we hunted this thing. Now that it’s finally here it’s almost unreal. I don’t even know what to say” Sam said. Dean was crouched, right next to his Yellow eyes’s human’s head. He glanced up at them all. Artemis knew what it was. He crouched down on the other side. Dean and Artemis smiled at each other. Then he looked at the humans open eyes.
“That was for our Mom” Dean said.
“And for Livia” Artemis finished. Dean and Artemis smiled again, then gave each other a high-five. They stood up. They walked back over to Livia. Artemis picked her up, like a husband and his wife.
“I don’t think Livia would agree to cryogenics” Butler tried to joke. There was a small chuckle.
“No, she wouldn’t. And even so, there’s no freezers nearby to do so. Holly isn’t here either” There was a silence. Dean took Livia for Artemis.
“Come on, we’ll take her back to Fowl manor. That’s what she would have wanted” Dean suggested. Everyone seemed to agree. They carried her back to the car. Artemis sat in the back of the Impala. He had Livia’s head on his lap. Bobby got a towel to put on the wound. They went back to their motel, grabbed their stuff, checked out then drove back to fowl manor. They were traveling in silence pretty much all the way, until an hour to Fowl Manor.
“Liv.. she would have wanted us to cheer up” Sam said, his voice still shaky from crying.
“What about you Artemis? How you holdin’ up?” Dean asked glancing into the rear-view mirror. Artemis was still extremely upset. He was stroking Livia’s hair. For the past three hours, he was re-living memories of times with Livia. He was also thinking about what Yellow eyes said. He looked up to see Dean looking at him in the mirror. He grimaced.
“I’m ok, I suppose. I think Livia would like to listen to ‘Can’t Get Enough Of Your Love’ one last time. Dean smiled back. Sam reached back, stoked Livia’s hair once then gave Artemis a pat on the knee.
“We’ll figure something out” Sam comforted. Dean switched the song on. While they were on the last stretch of highway to Fowl Manor, Dean turned the music down.
“I just realized, It’s two more days to christmas” He said. No one responded. Poor Livia, didn’t even get to spend one christmas with everyone she loved. When they arrived at Fowl manor, there was a note on the door. It was from Artemis’ parents:
‘Hello everyone, had to leave for business meeting early, see you lunch time christmas day! Merry Christmas!!’ It read. Artemis ripped the note.
“Yes, merry christmas.” Artemis said to himself. Dean picked up Livia and carried her inside. They placed her on the lounge in the study. Her left arm was above her head and her right arm was on her stomach.
“She looks so peaceful” Artemis said to Dean, as he pushed a strand of hair behind Livia’s ear. Bobby, Ellen and Butler arrived straight after the boys. They unpacked all their gear again, then went and sat in the study. Dean was sitting on the desk, Sam was leaning on it, right next to Dean, Ellen was standing at the end of the bed, Butler and Bobby were leaning against the door frame. Artemis was sitting on the bed, next to Livia’s head, gently stroking her hair.
“You know, Dad told us he had told Livia she still had time” Sam said after a while. Artemis looked up at him.
“Obviously not enough”
“He said he gave her more or something.” Dean said. No one said more. It was one of those times where grief was the torturous silence. It was about four a.m. when Livia died. It was now seven thirty. Butler glanced at his watch.
“I’ll go make breakfast. I think it’s best we eat something. I’m sure Livia would agree” He said. Everyone, except Artemis, stood up. Sam walked over and placed a hand on his shoulder.
“I’ll be with you in a moment. I just want a second.” he said looking up at Sam. Sam smiled and patted his shoulder. He then turned and everyone left. He looked down at Livia.
“Well, here we are. I can’t believe it. After everything that we’ve done together, this it. This is the way you had to die. It was my own fault. What am I supposed to do? I can’t deal with this. I don’t think I’ll ever get over my first love to die in my arms. I’ll never be able to move on. Remember how we first met? I thank Holly for that. She was told to watch you because foaly heard you talking to one of your friends about them. Holly asked me to come along incase she needed a human to go talk to her. At first I thought, ‘How ridiculous. A girl. Honestly, she’ll know who I am and flip out’. But Holly insisted. so I helped her. Then when I grew to know more about you, I started liking you. When I saw the hunts you did, I felt so protective. I felt confused at first, and I tried to repent my feelings. But in time, I accepted that I liked you. I don’t know why I kidnapped you, but obviously the fairies liked you more than me. What an adventure that was. I’m sorry Livia. I’m so sorry.” he said to her, kissing her on the lips. He then left the room. They all sat at the breakfast bar, eating their breakfast in silence. Sam, Dean and Ellen got some beers after breakfast, Butler and Bobby got coffee and Artemis had Earl grey. I while later There was a knock on the door. Butler opened it then went back and stood next to Bobby.
“Umm, what’s happened? Where’s Liv?” Holly asked, coming into the room. Artemis started getting teary again.
“Gone” Artemis managed to say. Holly’s eyes widened. She ran forward, placed her helmet and wings on the table. She sat on the chair next to Artemis.
“What happened?”
“Yellow eyes got her. Just like he said” Artemis said to her, not daring look up from his tea. Holly got down again.
“Dad said she still had time or something, cos he said he did something with Livia” Dean told Holly. Holly looked up at him.
“How long?” She asked, clenching her fists.
“What?”
“I said how long” Holly asked Artemis. Artemis looked up at her.
“I don’t know…three hours, give or take”
“There’s still time. Where is she?” Holly asked urgently. Sam led the way. He opened the door and let Holly past.
“Oh gods. Poor Livia.” She said. Holly walked up to her. She moved the towel and looked at the wound. She gagged at the sight of it. She placed her hand on the wound. Her eyes flashed a bright blue. She was in the state for a few seconds. Artemis, Sam and Dean thought something was wrong. Holly came back to normal. Artemis caught her before she fell.
“What was that?” Sam asked her. Holly sat up onto the bed.
“Well, when a person dies, the magic that was locked away in the brain becomes unleashed. The most common thing spirits can do is give time healings”
“Time healings?” Dean asked.
“Yeah. See it’s like a timer. When they give the spell they give them a timer. When Livia died the healing timer started. If she is healed within the time given she will live again. If not then she is dead for good. Originally, sprites could do this, but they lost the power.”
“What was that with the eye flashing?” Sam asked suspiciously.
“John was there. He told me he gave Livia a timer ‘till nine a.m. He said hi to you by the way” She smiled. Dean and Sam looked appreciatively at her. Artemis eyes widened.
“So you can heal her? She’ll live?” he asked her urgently, clasping her shoulders.
“Yes I can. And I will” Holly said. She turned around and placed her hand on the wound.
“heal” she whispered and the magic flew down her fingers. The lights danced around targeting the wound, replicating blood. It worked it way up Livia’s body until it when through her eye’s and disappeared. Nothing happened for a beat or two.
“Look, the colour’s returning to her skin” Sam proclaimed. And sure enough it was.
“She’s breathing! She’s alive!” Dean said ecstatically. Sam and Dean laughed then they actually hugged each other. Artemis at on the bed next to Livia. Livia’s eyes flickered open.
She smiled.
“Hello Arty” she said. Artemis laughed then he hugged Livia tightly. He helped Livia up. They hugged each other tightly again.
“I’m so glad your alive! Thank heavens! Thank-you John. Thanks Holly” Artemis said to her. They kissed each other again. Then they broke apart.
“Hey Sam, hey Dean” She said. Sam laughed and hugged her. She hugged him tightly back. She then hugged Dean. Artemis went and got everyone else. She hugged each of them. She then sat down and looked at Holly.
“Thanks Holly. You rock” She said. She and Holly then hugged tight.
“Hey, what are friends for” Holly smiled. Holly then explained what happened and the timer healing.
“so, John gave me a timer on healing?”
“That’s right” Holly confirmed. Livia looked upwards.
“Thanks John” she said. They had a celebrational lunch after that. Everything was a s it should be.

Christmas morning. 9 a.m.

Livia woke up. Artemis was right next to her still asleep. She grabbed the alarm clock.
“Artemis! Wake up! It’s christmas day!! Merry christmas!!” She said shaking Artemis.
“all right all right! I’m up! Merry christmas to you too!” He said sitting up. They got up, got changed and ran down the stairs.
“ There you two are! Come on, we’re unwrapping presents” Holly said happily. They all walked into the lounge room.
“Hey Liv, Merry christmas!” Sam said happily to her giving her a hug, a kiss on the cheek and a present.
“Thanks Sam, merry Christmas to you too!” They all sat down and opened their presents. Livia noticed that the small present she had found from Artemis when she arrived, wasn’t there.
“A new gun! Sam how did you know?”

“Come on, I have something special for you” He said grinning. Livia followed out to the back door. They slipped on their coats, and went outside. Artemis and Livia walked until they were on the hill from their second date again.
“Here, I wanted to give this to you in person” He said smiling. He gave Livia the small present. She opened it carefully. It was a box. She opened the box and inside was a gold ring with a white diamond butterfly on it, with a green, yellow, orange and blue diamonds cast in on the sides. There was a matching necklace too. The center of the Butterfly was diamond and it had blue, yellow, green and orange in the wings. It sparkled in the light.
“Artemis, It’s beautiful…I…” she stuttered. Artemis got the ring out and put it on Livia’s finger. He put the necklace on her to.
“Holly bringing you back was the best present. I just want you to know I love you” He said to Livia.
“I love you too Artemis” She said.
“Merry christmas”
Merry Christmas Arty” Then they kissed.
