On with the story.

Chapter 1, Knives and Cliffs

This was it. His first attempt had failed but this time was different. He looked down at his thin wrist, remembering.

Flashback

Artemis sprinted down the antique stairs two at a time. He didn't have long; Butler would be back from his daily rounds in ten minutes. He grabbed a knife from the kitchen then ran to his bedroom, locking his door. He was shaking with excitement. He sat on his bed with a sigh. Was this really what he wanted? Yes said a voice in his head. Holly hated him after he had confessed on that moonlit night his undying love for her. She had slapped him in the face, hard, and then run off to join her people once again. His parents thought he was a bad influence on the twins, that's why they had gone on holiday, to let him sort out his problems. Butler would be better off with out him and Minerva was dead after that horrible car accident.

"Artemis?" Butler was back. "Goodbye old friend" Artemis called downstairs. Butler picked up on his tone. "Artemis come downstairs right now". "I'm afraid I can't do that, Butler". Butler was practically flying up the stairs now. "Artemis don't do anything stupid" but Artemis was no longer listening. All he could hear was the constant beating of his heart and the voice in his head yelling" DO IT" over and over again.

Artemis put the gleaming knife to his wrist and slashed. There was a slight stinging but why wasn't he bleeding? He tried a few more times without success. "WHAT!!!" he shrieked staring at the knife. The blunt knife.

Butler crashed through the door only to find the pale youth crying miserably in the corner of his bed. His tear streaked face looked up. "Why does the world hate me, Butler" he croaked a final sob escaped from him. "Artemis I think we should get you some help".

After that his parents and Butler had sent him to a mental hospital. Even though he had begged and pleaded (which did not suit him) they had sent him to a place where he probably knew more about psychology than the councilors. He had been stuck in a padded room with absolutely nothing he could hurt himself with. Even the laces had been taken off his designer shoes incase he tried to hang himself.

It had been easy to escape. One of the nurses had left his door open when she had heard a scream. The scream had come from a blonde girl called Hannah. She was there because she popped pills. Then it had just been a matter of getting someone else to distract the receptionist. This time it was a girl called Kelsey. She was in for cutting herself. He had snuck past and found the cliff he was standing on right now. He'd never heard of the cliff but that didn't matter. All that mattered was letting his poor tortured soul free. He made sure he didn't look down, that would only scare him. He went to take his leap of death when a huge gust of wind blew him sprawling on his back.

"Even the weather hates me" he muttered when he felt someone land next to him. "Do you need a hand Arty" said the familiar of Holly Short as she offered a hand to the Irish boy. He looked at it then got to his feet.

"Don't try and stop me Holly". "Don't worry, I'm going to enjoy this as much as you" Holly said with an evil grin. "Now turn around and I'll push you". Artemis obeyed. "Thank you Holly" Artemis whispered as he was pushed to his death. He felt the wind rush through his raven locks, saw the cold hard ground rushing up, heard the air whistling through his ears and then…thud.

He slowly got to his feet. He was aching all over. He looked up to see Holly on thee edge of the so called cliff maybe ten feet above. She raised a hand in goodbye the shielded and returned to her people like before. Artemis raised a fist to the sky. "Someday I will succeed" he screamed at the blue heavens "Someday".

If you want another chapter please review I need 2 before I write another chapter

Now I want to thank my friend for giving me this idea

Just remember the chipmunks are watching.

Also the names Hannah and Kelsey are rhyming ones with other names of people I know so if you don't know me you won't get it
