Dreams

Chapter one, Goodbyes

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Artemis Fowl characters mentioned in this fic.

A/N: Ok, this is a new fic, I wrote part of it when I was on holiday in Cornwall, last week. I hope you like it. Technically it's a follow on from the unfinished Changes. I promise I will finish this one because a really decent story, that is going somewhere. I hope you enjoy. Please R and R.
The Kelp family apartment, Haven city, the lower elements.

"Holly, Amber, I'm off now, Ok?" Trouble called out, from the doorway of the family apartment.

Holly stuck her head around the kitchen door, in time to see Amber, her 25- year old (about 10 in human years) daughter leap into her father's arms.

"Bye Dad, be careful." Amber said wincing, as a pang of pain seemed to echo in her head. Trouble frowned as he placed his small daughter back on the ground.

"Amber, are you Ok?" He asked, his voice concerned.

Amber nodded then regretted it, her head felt like lead. She leant up against the wall for support.

Trouble thought how similar she looked to Holly. The same auburn hair, and the petite, slim frame. Amber was a little more sensible though, whereas her mother would rush into a situation headfirst and ask questions later.

Holly walked down the passageway to wish Trouble good luck.

"See you in three months."

Trouble, along with five other members of Lep Retrieval One, was heading above ground to work on the series of security breaches in London, England. They would be working there for three months, and then the other members of Retrieval would swap with them.

A worried expression flickered across Amber's face. She knew this feeling. Her head began to spin, images swirled in her mind, legs seemed to dissolve as she fell to the floor. Then everything went black.

The bright white of it all shocked Amber. She squinted in order to see better. It seemed she was in a hospital. There were plastic chairs, rows and rows of them, with a handful of bored looking fairies sitting on them. This must be the waiting room. She had no idea why, but these chairs triggered her memory. Sometime, many years before, she too had sat on one of those chairs. This was Havens memorial hospital. But why was she here? Her feet started moving of their own accord. Taking her through a pneumatic door, along a corridor bustling with Warlocks and nurses. All of which looked past her, as if they couldn't see her. No one seemed to be looking at her they were looking through her. After turning a few corners she reached another door. It had a clear glass panel inset in it. Amber glanced in. A figure lay in a bed, surrounded by wires and tubes. There was only one thing to define the figures identity.

A short mop of cropped, auburn hair.
A/N: Sorry this chapter was so short, but I needed to add suspense. Please review and carry on reading. Let me know if you want me to finish changes or not.
