Hey! Before you read, let me inform you on something: First, this is my first piece of writing on here, so go easy on me.
Thanks and enjoy!
A knock on Artemis Fowl's balcony door made him jump. He wasn't usually one to be surprised, but he had been slowly dozing off in front of his computer and the sudden noise shocked him.
Really…it's 3 A.M. and Holly just has to visit now? He thought. Holly was his elf friend. She was a pretty elf with auburn hair and nut-brown skin. She had one hazel and one blue eye, her other hazel eye had been switched with Artemis' own.
The human opened the glass door, a cool blast of Dublin air hitting him in the face. Standing there, only a few centimeters above three feet, stood Holly. She was shivering in the cold April air. She was wearing her shimmer suit, a pair of wings, and her helmet. The elf raised her shaky hands and took off her helmet. She flickered her hair over her shoulder and looked up at Artemis, her cheeks glowing pink, her lips a soft shade of purple, and her breath visible in front of her face.
"Holly…what are you doing here?" He asked.
"Bef-fore I answer that…m-m-may I come in?" The female tried to warm herself up by rubbing her hands up and down her arms.
Artemis only really just realized the temperature outside and nodded. "Of course." He stepped out of the way as the small body whizzed past him. She dropped by the fireplace that bore an orange and yellow flame.
"Gods, Foaly…" she scolded to herself. "Why did you send me in this weather, eh? And my shimmer suit's heat insulation has broken..."
Artemis overheard this as he shut the sliding door. "Foaly sent you? What for?"
Holly looked over her shoulder, remembering she was at Fowl Manor. "Oh…yeah. Well, he sent me to get you. He needs some help with his files or something. I think he said his connection around Fowl Manor has just frozen; he can't get anything. So he wanted me to bring you to Haven to help him fix the problem."
The Irish teenager sat on the edge of his bed and rubbed his throbbing temples.
"This early?"
"Well, you were awake!" She argued. "Besides, I could let you stay at my house…"
Something like a bell rang inside of Artemis' head. The words My House stuck to the inside of his ears.
Holly's house, eh? I can't deny that offer…
"Alright," he announced.
"What?" Holly turned from the flame and looked at the boy.
"I'll stay…I mean help Foaly." Artemis walked over to his dresser.
"Oh…OK. I'll call Foaly and tell him. And pack a few pairs of clothing, Mud Boy. I won't be washing five different loads for one outfit. Oh, and you'll need your own toiletries. I am NOT sharing my toothpaste or anything else for that matter!" Holly stood and walked towards the balcony door for privacy, but stopped in her tracks.
"Actually…" she thought aloud. She turned and headed to the other side of the room-going around the bed-and into the bathroom.
Artemis rolled his eyes and grabbed two pairs of pants. He smirked at some thoughts that crept into his mind.
A few days at Holly's place? No. A few days at opportunity's place.
Whoa! Cliffhanger! :0 Haha! Just kidding! But stay tuned for Chapter 2. Here's a little sneak-peak: PIZZA! There you go. You'll have to read it to know what all happens. (Personally, I really like the next chapter. *snicker*)
Don't forget to comment! ;D
