Realization of Five 2: The Return of Alter Artemis

After the recent attack from Orion, Argon only had to go through one more session before clearing Artemis from Atlantis Complex. The boy was now back to the way he was before the disease.

But not everything was the same. Now that Artemis and Holly knew they liked each other, they set out on being together more. However, it was becoming harder and harder for them to meet up because Artemis didn't come down every week for his check-up.

Soon, it had been a year since Evil Orion had taken over Artemis-since Holly had went inside Artemis's mind and destroyed him.

Or so they thought.

True, Orion did disappear, faded away into what most people would call "Inexistence." However, that didn't necessarily mean that the villain was gone forever.

Yes, Orion was still inside of Artemis's brain, wounded greatly from the latest battle he had lost with the occupant of the body, and the elf woman he was greatly in love with. But that part of the brain was so far back, so far away, that most people didn't even know it existed. A place that Orion knew all too well.

Everyone has this part of the brain. A very miniscule part to where your other souls lie when the body is born. One soul is allowed to leave then and the others staying behind. The soul doesn't remember the others. Some of the souls still in the "Inexistence" greatly improved from the one soul overtaking you, an alter ego of a better version of you, if you will.

But some…some were so cold and cruel it was like the icy hand of death had washed over them many times. Their unique soul captured in a place so dark and depressing that the thought of death was more realistic than anything else. That there was nothing more satisfying than the feel of blood on their hands, the redness washing over them like a high tide. These very few souls only wanted to be free to kill, thus creating murderers and assassins in the world.

However, when Artemis had Atlantis Complex, Orion escaped as well, him still having the memories of the "Inexistence."

The energy it took to weaken Artemis to almost inexistence was enough to weaken Orion greatly then. So instead of using physical endurance to make Artemis's time run out, he simply played a few mind games, mostly on the unsuspected culprit of Captain Holly Short. Orion didn't know how she ever got into Artemis's brain, but he never really had the time or opportunity to ask when he was trying to overtake the body.

However, he never suspected that Captain Short would actually have strong feelings for the soul of Artemis. So, in the end, the soul of Orion lost.

When Orion faded away in a demonic rage, he was pulled strongly back into the part of the brain where your other souls were. As soon as Orion remembered the place he was in, he screamed in rage and frustration.

"Inexistence" was a dark place, barely anything except darkness surrounding you everywhere, as far as the eye could see. Mental torture of never doing anything except stare. Stare and wonder what you did to deserve this, how this could have happened to you. Why you couldn't have gone out.

Orion at the moment floated through the familiar dark nothingness,-there were no floors-pondering what had happened to his plan. His plan that he thought was perfection, down to the very last thought. He had planned everything out, so what had gone wrong?

The fair maiden, the malicious version of Artemis mused, That's what went wrong. I never planned for her to step into the picture.

And so, Orion spent a full year devising many more plans. That year felt like a lifetime in the dark, lonely, abyss. Nothing to do, no one to talk to. Until the last bits of the everlasting year.

Orion was meditating again. Something that Artemis had done and at first, Orion thought was useless. But the past year was a long one, and Orion had grown accustomed to it. But then, Orion heard a dark chuckle from behind him.

"Back again so soon, are we?" Orion heard. The evil mastermind's eyes flew open to the words and he spun around to find to ice blue eyes staring at him.

"What are you doing here?" Orion growled, feeling the aura of despair and death bounce off the newcomer.

"I was banished from the others, just like you were when you escaped this place without us, traitor."

Orion's eyebrows went up in surprise as he choked back a sarcastic laugh, "Traitor? Me? I could guess why you were banned, Shade."

Shade nodded, a small smirk on his pale face. "Yes. Bloodlust isn't something that those fools ignore."

Orion scoffed, rolling his eyes. "Who did you kill?"

Shade looked at him skeptically, "You know it's impossible to kill someone in here."

"Fine then, who did you torture?"

Shade smiled darkly, "Ah, now you got it. Apollo. He was asking for it."

Orion shook his head, ready to chew his old companion out. But then, Shade spoke up again.

"You're different." He said, circling Orion. "You aren't that annoying little dolt from before."

Orion nodded appreciatively at the notice. "Yes, I was changed by a machine with an evil residue in it. I could only imagine what it would do to you." Orion looked over Shade before adding, "Probably wouldn't change you a bit."

And so, Orion went through Artemis's whole life, from the beginning at his birth, to where Artemis and Holly sent him back to the retched place they were floating in.

Shade was unusually quiet throughout Orion's explanation. When he finished Shade only had one question.

"How did you get out?" He asked, eyes closed.

Orion was startled by the question, "What?"

Shade opened his eyes, narrowing the ice blue orbs. "You heard me. How did you escape this hell?"

"I-I'm not positively sure."

Shade scoffed, "Liar. You got out while you left the others stranded here. Now, how did you get out?!" Shade was yelling by the end of his statement, gripping the boy's shirt and threatening him with his cold eyes. The loudness in his voice echoed throughout the darkness, although no one else could hear it.

"It was a long time ago!" Orion whimpered, scared stiff of the maniac in front of him. "I'm surprised you still remember!"

Shade scoffed again, "We both know we never forget anything. Don't play dumb."

Orion's scared look dropped immediately, "We both know I don't play." He snarled. He pushed Shade away, straightening his black suit jacket as he said, "Fine. I'll tell you. Hell, I'll help you pass through with me. On one condition."

Shade groaned, "There is always a condition…."

"Do you want to get out or not?"

Shade sighed, "Alright. Just tell me and get it over with."

Orion smirked, happy with the other soul's submission. "You have to help me kill Artemis."

Shade smirked and chuckled as he shook his head. "Now that...I can do."

Artemis rubbed his neck once more as he went up the stairs in Fowl Manor. Since the snow had started falling outside his four year old brothers, Myles and Beckett, had gotten increasingly good at throwing snowballs. Well, Beckett did at least. Myles was on the side of the white banks, trying to prove that snowflakes did, in fact, have duplications.

As the three went inside, Butler pulled the two young ones into the kitchen to get them dried off and so Artemis could go and get some work done.

But instead of going to his study, Artemis went to his bedroom. He stripped off his wet coat before putting it in his adjoining bathroom and going to his desk in his room.

He typed an email to Holly, asking how she was and when she would be visiting again. It had been a month since the last time he saw her. Artemis smirked, remembering the last time she was here. It had been crazy with Myles and Beckett annoying her every second. In the end, Myles and Beckett thought they were looking for them in a game of Hide-and-Seek. However, Artemis and Holly snuck out to the garden in the cool air and talked.

Suddenly, as Artemis finished the email and sent it down to Haven, a noise came from the left. He whirled around in his chair to find Holly putting her wings down by the window.

"Holly?!" Artemis asked, stunned it was really her. He hadn't known she was coming up, and yet she was standing right in front of him.

"Hey, Arty." Holly smiled; she went over and climbed into his lap to give him a hug. That seemed to shake Artemis from his thoughts, because he wrapped his arms around her.

"What are you doing here?" He questioned when Holly pulled back.

"Well, if you want me to leave…" Holly started pushing herself off of his lap. Artemis just grabbed her small frame, pulling her back to him as he tilted his head down and kissed her forehead.

"If I had what I wanted, you would never leave." He murmured against her short auburn locks. Holly just sighed.

"I know, Artemis. But I have to go to work too."

"I take it Trouble doesn't know you're here."

Holly shrugged, "He knows I'm topside. I just told him I needed a magic refill."

"Do you?"

"Yeah, but I'll go when I leave."

Artemis lifted his head to look into her mismatched eyes, "Which is?"

She sighed again. "In the morning."

Artemis looked at the grandfather clock in the corner of his room; it was 10 at night already. This time it was he who sighed as he held the elf in his arms closer.

Then, a raging headache hit Artemis. It was almost as if one of Butler's weights had dropped on top of his head hard. Artemis removed his arms from Holly's frame to hold his head in his hands.

"Artemis?" Holly said when Artemis moved, the warmth of his body around hers leaving with it.

Artemis got up, Holly sliding off of his lap gently as he walked to his bed and sat down on the edge of the blue sheets, head still in hands. He groaned with pain and tried to shake his head to make it go away, but the shaking only made it worse.

Holly looked at him, confused, until he groaned. She then shook her head and climbed up onto the bed. Standing behind the man, she hugged him. "What's wrong, Arty?"

Artemis groaned again, "My head. It's…throbbing."

Holly looked at him with concern, even though he couldn't see her since she was behind him.

Holly slid her hands from around his shoulders, to the top of them. She slightly rubbed them, massaging the knots out of his shoulders and neck carefully so the elf didn't hurt him.

Artemis rolled his neck slightly and let go of his head. "Thanks, Holls."

"Mm," was her only response as she placed her lips on his neck, moving them slightly to his pulse and sucking the skin there.

Artemis just smirked, his headache going away a bit. As soon as she started to deepen her hold on his skin, he turned around swiftly and grabbed her waist. He pulled her around so she was lying across his lap with her arms around his neck loosely, looking up at him with a mischievous smile.

"Is your headache gone?"

Artemis shook his head, causing his head to throb again. "Not even remotely." He answered truthfully.

"Maybe you should get some sleep." Holly suggested. She didn't want him to sleep, since she would be gone by sun up, but he needed the rest.

Artemis yawned lightly at the mention of sleep, but frowned. "Holly…I don't know when I am going to see you after this. I am not going to let one moment of this time to slip away from us just because of a simple migraine."

"Artemis, it's best that you get some sleep." Holly argued. But before she could persuade him further, Artemis picked her up again and soon he was lying on top of her, Holly's back to the soft, silk, blue sheets.

"I'm fine." He said softly, leaning down to kiss her.

When he pulled back up, he was still only an inch from her face. "Artem-" She started, but before she could finish, Artemis kissed her again.

"We can't-" Artemis stopped her by putting his lips to hers again.

"Do…this." He kept kissing her every time she tried to get a word out. Soon, she couldn't get a single syllable out as Artemis pulled her into a deep kiss, his tongue invading her mouth and running across the top of it. Holly moaned, pulling him closer as she arched up-.

The sound of a throat being cleared made Artemis and Holly scramble apart. They looked to the door to find Butler standing there, looking at them while shaking his head slightly.

"You do know there are two very curious little boys in the household, don't you?" Butler stated, "That don't bother to knock when they enter unlocked doors."

Artemis sighed, his headache coming back. "Yes Butler, but might I remind you that they should be in bed at this hour."

The manservant grunted, turning and leaving while muttering: "It's a wonder they don't sleeprun with all the energy they have."

Artemis got up and locked the door before turning back to his bed. Holly was still at the end of it, looking at Artemis with a smile on her face.

Artemis smiled back, walking up and taking her face in his hands before kissing her once more and murmuring, "Now, where were we…" and starting to push Holly back down on the blue sheets. But she stopped him.

"You were going to sleep because you have a headache." Holly moved from Artemis's grasp.

The mastermind shook his head, his head pounding in a familiar 4/4 rhythm. He couldn't talk because he knew she was right. His headache had increased since he got up to lock the door, causing him to wobble a bit when he walked to the side of his bed.

Artemis lifted the soft covers and laid down on the cream sheets beneath that layer. Holly followed suit, curling up next to Artemis and pulling the blue covers over them.

"Wake me when you're going to leave, will you?" Artemis yawned sleepily.

The elf could only nod as she fell into a deep sleep beside the genius.

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0

"It's simple, really." Orion said, "Our minds are connected. It won't take much to open a stream and take it to the mainframe of the brain."

"I thought you were suppose to be the dumb one?" Shade snapped.

"Yes. That was before I was transfused with an evil genius. Before, I was just a curious, lovestruck, teen. Now...Now I want revenge."

Shade smirked, "Well then. Looks like you bumped into the right person for the job."

Orion nodded, "Alright. Last time, I exited this hell from Artemis' Atlantis Complex. He was cured from it, unfortunately, but if theres a minor flux in his brain waves, we can get into the mainstream and into the main part of his brain."

"So what do we have to do?"

"Concentrate. Just the minutest symptom will get us through. We just have to expand it enough." Orion closed his eyes, Shade looking at him like he was the weirdest person in the world as he hummed a bit to himself. Finally, after many moments, Orion smirked and opened his eyes.

"Artemis is having a slight headache. I'm expanding it. Just close your eyes and focus on a slight hammering in your head. Soon, we will be out of here."

Shade nodded, still looking at Orion weird. Nevertheless, he closed his eyes, copying what Orion was doing.

0o0o0o0o0o0o0

Artemis was awoken by the feeling of lips being placed over his. He opened one eye and then the other to see Holly lying on top of him, her lips working his softly as her arms lay on top of his chest, crossed.

"Morning." She greeted when she let the genius' mouth go. "Is your headache gone?"

As soon as she mentioned it, the headache came spiralling back to him, hitting the mastermind harder than ever. He groaned, pulling Holly down closer to him, pressing his face into her neck.

"That bad, huh?" She felt Artemis nod against her neck. "Well, I hate to leave you with that, but I have to go."

Artemis leaned back, "What time is it?" He asked.

"Around 5. If I hurry, I should be able to catch the five-thirty shuttle."

Artemis scowled. "This is ludicrous. We've saved the world numerous times and yet you can't get a simple week visa." His headache was pounding more than ever, but he just ignored it, wrapping his arms around the elf on top of him. Artemis pulled her closer before kissing her slowly, his lips working hers. He then broke the kiss placing his cheek against hers and breathing gently into her ear. "Do you really have to go now?" He asked.

Holly pushed against his chest, raising herself against him and looking the human in the eye. "Yes." She replied sadly. "Before I get in trouble."

The man nodded, not able to protest as his headache increased even more. He unwrapped his arms and Holly slid off of him, kissing him deeply one more time before slinking into the early morning.

After Holly left, Artemis went right back to sleep. He didn't wake up until later that day, when Butler's voice cutting through his empty dreams.

"Artemis?" He called out, rather muffled. The door to his bedroom opened up swiftly, as though he had broke it and called again. "Artemis! Oh thank Frond!" The manservant gasped.

Artemis shot up, thankful that his headache was now gone. "What is it?"

"There's something you should see." He said, voice more startled than he had ever heard it before.

Artemis swung his legs over the side of the bed, not liking Butler's tone at all. "What is it?"

"I was doing my usual rounds in the security room when I looked at the basement...There's something you should see."

Artemis nodded, grabbing his light blue robe draped over the side of the chair and leaving the room after Butler. The manservant lead him to the security room, where every room in the house was monitored by a camera and every camera led back to the security room. He pointed at a screen at the bottom while Artemis tied to robe.

"He was there when I found him, like that." The older man murmured.

When he looked up to the screen, Artemis was surprised at what he saw. He could see why his bodyguard seemed so rattle. On the screen was a blue-eyed, raven-haired young man, almost duplicate to Artemis. He was gagged and bound with his hands behind his back, sitting in the middle of the room and struggling against his bonds.

"Orion." Artemis muttered angrily, whirling around and stomping out of the security room. Butler jumped and followed his principal out the door.

"How are you so sure it's Orion?"

"Because my mind is screaming fours at me. It has ever since I took a look at the screen. How he has a body...I have no idea at the moment." The mastermind answered, still walking and never looking back once.

It was silent for the rest of the journey down to the basement, the dead quiet chilling Artemis' Irish bones. However, it might just have been the the cold air of the basement as the two continued down the steps.

Once outside the cell door, Artemis glanced at Butler once before taking a deep breath and letting the well-oiled door swing open.

Inside, the duplicate was still sitting in the middle of the floor. As soon as the door opened, he looked up, a mischievous glint in his eyes.

Artemis circled the alter a few times, looking him over. He seemed to be the same height and weight as him, Artemis seeing this from Orion's sitting position. The evil clone had stopped struggling in his bonds, looking at Artemis with an evil glint in his eye.

"You say you didn't do this?" He asked Butler, who was patiently standing at the door.

"No sir."

Artemis kneeled in front of Orion. Suddenly, he ripped off the tape over the villian's mouth, causing Orion's head to snap to the right.

"What are you doing here?" He growled lowly. "How are you here."

The clone in front of Artemis just chuckled and shook his head. Once done laughing, he looked Artemis dead in the eye and glared. "I'm not answering anything until you untie me and we go upstairs."

Artemis glanced back at Butler before sighing and standing up. "Fine. Butler, take him." and the genius started to leave. Butler behind him with Orion in his grasp.

Artemis walked to his bedroom, going over to his desk in the room and sitting in the chair. He nodded to Butler, who let the alter go. Orion stood in front of Artemis, scrutinizing his surroundings as Butler untied him.

Artemis folded his hands on his lap, looking at Orion. "Well, answer the questions."

"I'm here because of that little headache you had earlier." Artemis' eyes widened at this. How would he know this? "How I have a physical form identical to you...you will have to guess.

Artemis glared at the evil genius. "Then that proves my suspicion. There are more of you...of me."

Orion smirked, crossing his arms in front of his chest. "And how did you come up with that."

"Because, a mind can't hold more than one consciousness. A regular mind, at least. Mine, however, being one of the highest IQ in the world, could hold two. Now that my mind has 'split' so to say, there has to be at least three alters. The question now is why one or all of them betrayed you, putting you in the basement."

"You are getting warmer, but you still have no idea what is at hand here." Orion's smirk grew. "Guess again."

Artemis narrowed his eyes, getting up from his chair and mirroring Orion's arms-crossed-in-front-of-chest look. "I am not going to guess. You will tell me now, or I will order Butler to bring you back to the basement and keep you there until you rot."

Wow, no mercy to the person who almost killed Artemis Fowl.

However, it didn't phase Orion. Not in the least. He simply just scoffed and rolled his eyes. "Fine. I'll tell you one thing. There are three of you. You, me, and another."

"Who is this last person?" Artemis asked, still glaring at the traitor and his mind tricks. "And what business do they have here?"

Orion just continued on smirking, making Artemis feel as though he knew what was going. Artemis didn't like that feeling, not one bit. He always like to be the one who had the one-up.

"That's all I'm going to directly tell you." Orion told him, making anger flare up in Artemis.

"Orion, tell me what is going on or so help me Frond-"

"So, where's the fair maiden?" Orion said, looking around as if she was hiding in the shadows. Then suddenly, his focus snapped back to the young man in front of him, that evil glint back in his eyes and a smirk gracing his face one more.

All the blood drained from Artemis' face, making him paler than normal, when he realized what this opponent was saying.

Holly touched the ritual site in Tara. She took a deep breath, looking at her holo-watch. 5:20...great. She was making good time, but had to hurry or else she would be late for the early shuttle she wanted to catch.

Just as she was about to plant the acorn she had found and get magic, a soft rustle came from a few bushes to the right of the elf. Holly's pointed ears detected the slight sound and she stood up quickly, turning to the sound and getting ready to run.

Alas, Holly relaxed as she saw who was pushing through the leaves.

"Hey, Arty. I thought you had a headache…" Holly greeted her friend. The man didn't acknowledge that with an answer as he walked a few steps towards her.

Holly noticed his appearance as he stepped into the dawn light. He was wearing his usual suit, but the shirt was untucked and the tie slung around his neck sloppily. His usually combed and gelled back raven hair in limp strands and in the young man's face. It was as though Artemis had just rolled out of bed, which could have incidentally happened if the genius was in a hurry to see her again. Holly had to admit...this was a pretty good look on the mud man. He was, dare she say it...hot.

"Hey, Arty. Nice look. What are you doing here? I thought you had a headache." The elf asked.

The only thing the man did was smirk as he kept creeping closer to her. A nervous feeling began at the bottom of Holly's stomach, and the elf stumbled back a few steps, still looking at the person in front of her.

"A-Artemis?" She asked cautiously. She took more steps back hesitantly, only for him to keep stalking towards her, smirk growing even more. "Are you alright?"

Any sane person could tell that the human in front of her was not alright, that he was not Artemis. However, Holly couldn't get away in time as her back hit the tree behind her. "Artemis" put his arms next to her, blocking the elf from escape.

Holly looked up into the imposter's eyes. They were blue, but darker than Artemis' eyes. Maybe it was the dim sunlight creeping out over the edge of the horizon, but they were definitely different. Holly couldn't place it, however, until she started to slip out of consciousness.

That spark in his eyes, that had always been there since she had met the mud boy.

That spark of decency…was gone.

0o0o0o0o0o0o0

As soon as Orion mentioned Holly, and Artemis had processed the information, the next thing Orion knew he was slammed against the wall to the right of him, Artemis having fistfuls of the evil imposter's suit as he almost lifted Orion off the ground in his rage. However, they knew Artemis would never actually have the strength to do that.

"Who is the last alter, and what does any of this have to do with Holly?!" Artemis said, voice strained from trying not to shout in anger. Orion didn't even seem phased by Artemis' sudden actions, still sporting the smug smirk.

"You don't seem very scared." Artemis commented lowly.

"I'm not scared of you, there's only one person I really am afraid of, who you should be afraid of."

"The third alter. I have no idea why you keep protecting…" Artemis trailed off, looking at Orion. Suddenly, his eyes widened and Artemis backed off of Orion, going over to his computer and pointed at Orion, telling Butler to watch him.

Like he wasn't already.

Artemis pressed a few keys before opening a channel. Soon, a familiar centaur popped up onto the screen, looking worried as ever.

"Is Holly over there?"

Artemis sighed, internally groaning. "No, she isnt. I'll call you back later."

"Artemis, what's-" But it was too late, Artemis cut him off and turned back to Orion, glaring heatedly.

Artemis looked at the time. Seven in the morning, Holly's shuttle was set to leave at 5:30. Artemis' suspicions were correct.

"You were sent to distract us." Artemis growled.

Orion feigned innocence, "Now, why would I ever do that?"

Artemis took a few threatening steps towards the villain, "What did you and your friend do to Holly, tell me, or so help me Frond-"

"He isnt my friend, alright?" Orion crossed his arms in front of his chest and looked away. "He left me when I told him my secret to get out of Inexistence."

"Then why are you protecting him?" Artemis ground out.

"Because you aren't exactly my friend either."

"So, in other words, you don't know where Holly is? What he's going to do with her?" Artemis shook his head, almost rolling his eyes.

Orion still wouldn't look into Artemis' eyes. "No, he just told me he wanted revenge. After we split from you, he knocked me out and the next thing I knew I was locked in the basement."

"How did he put you in an unconscious state?"

Orion shrugged, "A power he has. I told you, he's powerful and ou should be afraid from him." He looked up, finally meeting his eyes. Orion's eyes were wide and terrified as he told Artemis, "We all should be afraid of him. I-It was a mistake to bring him here, I was just so angry and spiteful that my judgement was clouded."

"A power?" Artemis asked.

The alter nodded, "Yes, the only one of us who do...It comes with the job description."

"Job description? I'm assuming you mean what personality he has." Artemis concurred. The villain nodded. "What is his personality?"

"I'll give you a hint. His name is Shade."

Artemis' eyebrows furrowed in frustration as he thought. "That name has nothing to do with Greek Mythology, like ours do…" The genius trailed off in thought.

"Think about it."

"It's an anagram for Hades." Artemis said almost immediately. The genius started to pace feverishly. "The God of the Underworld, and of the dead."

Orion nodded, "Yes. He was banished from the others, like me, for…" The villain trailed off, looking back to the ground.

"For what?" Artemis asked, a lump forming in his throat.

Orion sighed, shaking his head. "For torturing another alter…"

Holly woke up groggily, her eyes fluttering a few times before actually opening. She groaned, and began to stretch when she realizing that she couldn't move. Suddenly, the elf was wide awake and looking around. Her hands were tied above her to a railing attached to the wall as she sat on a polished wooden floor. Sleep was still in her eyes as she looked around what she concluded was a large warehouse.

"Hello?" She called out. She then remembered what had happened before she blacked out. "A-Artemis?"

A cold voice chuckled in the far right corner of the room. Holly's head snapped there to see the Artemis look-alike leaning against the wall. "Guess again." He replied softly, looking at her with the same evil glint in his eye.

"Who are you?" Holly asked, testing the ropes on her hands. They were tight, meaning no easy escape for her. Again, another cold chuckle. "I'm serious! Who are you?!" She shouted.

"No need to get mad." The man said in a mock tone. "In sense, I am Artemis." He kicked off the wall and walked calmly over to her, kneeling down and grabbing her chin to make her look at him directly. "Just not the one you know and...love." She heard more mockery in his voice, more so emphasis on the last word.

"What do you want?" She asked quietly, eyes glaring into the impersonator.

He clicked his tongue, looking over the constricted elf at a side angle, raking his eyes over her body. "I want what Artemis has. I want to take it from him and make it so he'll never have them again...starting with you."

Holly took a deep breath. She was a hostage negotiator and knew how to work these situations. It was best not to let the captor see how frightened you actually were. Right now, Holly was terrified.

"How do you know that Artemis cares for me? I'm just his friend, not speciality whatsoever."

The male chuckled and shook his head. "You and I both not that's not true, sweetheart."

"Don't call me that." She muttered, trying to get away from him to no avail.

"The way I see it, you don't have any say in what I do." He snapped.

He's a control freak and gets angry easily. Holly noted, looking up at him with wide eyes as she realized something else. "You're going to kill me, aren't you?" She asked with more bravado than how she felt.

The imposter looked down, as if she had guessed his greatest weakness. "I have to get rid of everything for Artemis." He stroked the side of her face, pushing a lock of hair behind her ear before murmuring. "Starting with the woman he loves."

"You don't have to do this." Holly whispered hoarsely, suddenly very scared of the way he was acting. "What do you think you are going to accomplish?"

"Once I get everything done, Artemis won't see any reason for living. He'll gladly waste away himself, along with the buffoon I tricked to get here, once you're gone. I'll be the only Artemis' Fowl here. Too bad I have to kill such a pretty thing like you…"

"Get the hell away from me." Holly growled, pulling on her restraints with more force.

The man shrugged, getting up and looking down at her, "You won't be saying that-"

"What? When I'm kicking your ass?" Holly interrupted him, glaring at the look alike, despite her current position.

The male just shook his head, whirling around and leaving the room quickly, leaving Holly there, alone.

Ok, so that is the first part of RoF2. The second part will show up around 8 or 9 tonight, when I actually REGISTERED into FF.
