Artemis Fowl at the beginning of his adventurers had 1, kidnapped a special Holly Short, 2, escaped a time freeze, 3, escaped with fairy gold. In a different dimension things had gone the same way for Artemis, but only one thing was different, he was a she...
Artemis Fowl the second was named after her father, there was no denying it. She liked her name because unlike her father who had gone the the good ways of doing things, she was going to create a portal to another dimension. The formula was discovered on her part on accident, while she was trying to solve string theory, she ended up building a device to go with it in the middle of the study.
She had been talking to Holly and she said that she had some vacation days coming up, so that lead to Holly inviting herself up for the weekend. Artemis's mother and father had gone on vacation with the twins to their small country home in the English countryside, Artemis stayed behind because she faked being sick, Artemis did not care for England. Mulch heard of Holly's plans to come up topside and invited himself to come along.
Sitting at her computer working on a destination for the portal, when Mulch entered and carrying a bottle of what seemed to be grape soda. "What you doin, mud girl?" he asked. "I was writing a complex computer program, too complicated for your mind to understand." Artemis watched as he came closer to look over her shoulder, she moved in the chair and Mulch moved, spilling the soda on to her apple laptop computer, the computer activating the program and a portal appeared in the middle of the study.
"Sorry, mud girl." Mulch said. "Quickly, fetch Butler and Holly. A breakthrough at last." Said Artemis as she walked to the portal. She didn't feel the wind through all the shock, but she did when she felt her shoes slipping on the carpeting. "BUTLER!" she screamed as she was pulled in.
Landing flat on her face, Artemis realized that the carpet looked the same as when she left. Looking up to see a male version of the shoes she was wearing. The boy, had a look of surprise on his face for a moment before covering it with annoyance and then after he pushed a button on his watch, he said, "Butler. There is an intruder in my study." She could hear a voice that sounded like Butler say, "Coming right away, sir."
Soon she was handcuffed to a chair in this study, with a boy and a man who was Butler's inter dimensional twin. "Butler, uncuff me." She said. Butler just looked over and said, "I work for Artemis Fowl only." "I am Artemis Fowl." The boy looked up from the computer, he was running her picture thru online databases, trying to find out her identity. "Butler, take her to the basement and find out who she is through any means necessary." The boy sitting behind the desk said. The girls face changed from annoyance to shock. "Any sir?" Butler asked. The nodded and Butler went over to where the girl was handcuffed and unlocked them and pulled the girl to her feet. He began to walk out of the room, pulling the girl to her feet. She didn't struggle as she was lead down the back staircase, she knew her fate.
Butler has a certain style to his 'Any means necessary.' Artemis knew this, she had seen the after affects. Most, if they were lucky, only came away with PTS, others would be useless after the questioning. She didn't know how long she would be able to last until Holly and Foaly and he was able to open a portal to send a small team to fetch her.
Butler had tried every means, but all the answers were that she was Artemis, he walked out of the cell. Artemis was curled up in the corner covered in her own blood, she was facing the corner of the cell. Away from the camera in the corner. She reached around to try to stem the blood flowing from a knife in her stomach. At the same time she also pressed a small implant Butler had put in because she kept getting kidnapped, 'It's to keep you safe Artemis,' he would say. But it was still a tracker, and those could be hacked, hopefully letting him find her, like he always did.
A good time passed before Butler came back, this time with medical supplies. He pulled the passed out girl out of the corner, and quickly checked her pulse and finding it weak. He quickly rolled her over on to her back and began to unbutton her shirt. She weakly opened her eyes, and flinched, as she saw Butler. He pulled a IV bag out of the pile of supplies pulled her limp arm towards him, she didn't react. She only stared up, and whispered, "I am Artemis Fowl," she turned her limp head to look at him, "Please, Domovoi. Believe me..." She stared up at him. He held no trace of emotion on his face, he pulled a small case out of the pile, "OK, Artemis." Butler said.
Butler had injected the girl with a painkiller and a drug to help her sleep. Pulling her into his arms, he laid her on the cot. Looking at her one last time before walking out, he couldn't help but sigh. The girl believed that she was Artemis Fowl, this would be harder than he thought.
Six weeks later.
The door to her cell opened, looking up slowly from her corner, where she sat, she saw Butler. She avoided his eyes, the girl curled up in a ball, shielding herself from whatever was coming. What she wasn't expecting was Butler to pick her us and carry her, she began to hyperventilate, "Domovoi, I am Artemis Fowl. Put me down. I want my Domovoi Butler."
Unknown to her, this was her Butler, he had come thru the portal Foaly had set up. The Butler and Artemis of this world had been in the study when the portal opened. The pair had realized their mistake and sent her Butler to go retrieve her. The last time he saw her, she was strong and independent, not begging for him to come back.
"I am you Butler, Artemis." "That's what you said last time, you hurt me, strapped me to a table, cut me open. Juliet came by last night, and said the samething, I could tell she was lying." Butler gritted his teeth and continued to walk down the hall, and up the stairs. She was so light, and malnutrition had taken its toll, her arms and legs weak and the shirt she wore was bigger. She still wore what he last saw her in. They had made it to the first floor before she passed out from stress. Butler entered the empty study where the portal to another world was. He ran thru the portal and landed on his feet in the next world, looking up to see his double and a boy Artemis.
Domovoi explained that they were just trying to get back home, and that she had been torched by an alternate version of them. The boy Artemis then offered to let them stay, "We will see when she wakes up, if she wakes up." Domovoi said. The big man who held the tiny girl walked over to the chase lounge and laid her down, he then knelt down to check the girls temperature. She had a slight fever, most likely from the stress, and he frowned upon seeing all the dry blood that lingered on her arms and in her hair. In the time that he spend studying his principal the other Butler had prepared rooms for them.
"I have readied rooms for both of you and I can show you to them," the other Butler said. Domovoi nodded and picked up Artemis, the guy Artemis's Butler lead the way to Artemis's room. "You are just down the hall and to the left, both have bathrooms attached. Juliet has brought some clothes she can borrow, until we can get some things to her liking." The man said as he opened the door to Artemis's room. Domovoi nodded and thanked his twin and walked in, closing the door behind him.
It was ten long minutes before she woke up. She saw Butler sitting at her bedside and curled up into a ball, saying that she was Artemis Fowl the second. The man just reached out and said, "I know, I am your Butler. Artemis, you'll go into shock if you don't slow your breathing down. Please calm down, or I'll have to give you a relaxant and I don't want to do that." She peaked out from her ball, "You aren't lying, I can tell. You promise to stay at my side until the end." She looked at him with eyes full of tears, "Yes, Artemis Fowl, I can promise you, until the end." She uncurled from her ball all the way, she slowly went over to Dom at and slowly put her arms around him, pulling herself into his arms. "Now, Artemis, you should get cleaned up. I have a feeling that the other Artemis will want to see you." She nodded and slowly stood, walking to the bathroom Butler pointed out. She stumbled to the door and she walked in and closed the door.
She walked out wearing Juliet's suit skirt and purple dress shirt, that wasn't tucked in the shirt, and it looked as if it was sticking to her skin. That raised an internal alarm in his head. She stumbled, he narrowed his eyes, his normal Artemis would never be so... careless. "Butler, I ripped my stitches, If my suspicions are correct, they mostly are, I will bleed out in about five minutes. Heart failure in about five and a half." She said as she went to the bed, Butler's eyes widened.
She winced and sat down, then laid down, and raised her shirt up enough for him enough for him to see the edge of her bra, but the only thing he really saw was a long red gash that had stitches and was opening back up, she had pulled stitches. It looked as if she had exploratory surgery, some of the stitches had ripped out of her skin, Butler quickly jumped into action, checking her temperature, then her pulse. She was running a fever, and her pulse was weak and slow, she was slowly falling asleep as he checked over her. "Stay awake, Artemis, you need to stay awake." He ran out of the room to find other Butler coming towards him,"Can find me a first aid kit, my principal is bleeding out, I have about four minutes left." He then turned and ran back to see his principal's breathing was basically nonexistent, she had a small pool of blood forming. He rushed over to the bed, and quickly checked her pulse, weak and thready. "Artemis, I promised you I would be there till the end. Don't make me regret that." He said as pulled down her shirt, then unbuttoning it. He pulled it off her and winced as blood, ran down and on to the sheets, then began to use it to try to stem the blood. The door opened and he looked up to see his twin open the door, his Artemis following close behind. Butler ran to the bed with the kit, and opened it. Domovoi pulled the purple shirt off of the slash and and got out a clotting powder, and sprinkled it over the gash. Looking up, "Do you have a kit for stitches in there?" "Yes, and by the looks of the sheets she may need a transfusion." Domovoi nodded and looked at this world's Artemis, "Will you..." The boy nodded and began to pull off his suit jacket and roll up his sleeve.
The Butlers had just finished stitching her up, when the Artemis that was awake said, "She not breathing." They looked to him and looked back to the girl, finding that he was right. Her butler quickly checked if she had a pulse, "How long ago did I ask for the first aid kit?" he asked his twin, "About five minutes. Why?" " She said heart failure in five and a half." He checked her pulse again, nothing, he began CPR, she quickly sputtered to life. Her Butler then put the well Artemis in charge of making sure the girls heart didn't stop.
A good deal of time later, both the Artemis's were doing well, one more than the other. The girl, now tucked in, had a heart monitor, oxygen mask and level monitor, and had a direct transfusion to the other Artemis. The boy looked at the girl in sorrow, she was him. "Butler and um, Butler. Mother and father will be back from England tomorrow, how will we get both of you past my parents and the twins." he asked. The men looked at each other, then to the sleeping girl. Artemis wondering how any version of himself could do this, "Holly, will be here soon." Silently agreeing that they would wait to see if she actually woke up.
The boy Artemis was disconnected from the girl an hour later. Domovoi heard coughing, looking up from the magazine to see Artemis waking up. She opened her eyes, "Water," the man nodded and propped the girl up to help her breathe better, and walked out. He went into the kitchen to see this world's Holly chatting with this world's Juliet, they stopped and watched him as he set about getting water for his Artemis. As he walked out the door and into the hall, he heard Holly whisper a goodbye to Juliet and hop off the counter that she was sitting on. "You're the other Butler?" She asked. He simply nodded and continues to walk back to his principal's room. They when the rest of the way in silence, a faint coughing could be heard through the door, he opened the door to see Artemis. She was in the same position as earlier, except now she was having a problem catching her breathe between each cough.
He walked to her side of the bed and Holly stood by the door, taking in the girl version of the boy who kidnapped her a few years ago. The girl looked up at Butler when he held the glass of water out to her, she managed out a "Thanks, old friend." She tried to remove the oxygen mask from her face, but her hands were shaking too bad, Butler sighed and set the glass on the side table. Removing the mask quickly he handed her the glass, supporting her hands as she took a sip. Her cough started to die down, and she looked over to the person standing in the doorway. "You can actually come in to the room, you were invited in, I presume that means you have access to all of the house." Said Artemis. Holly looked at her and walked into the room as Butler carefully put the oxygen mask back on her face, "Artemis, I need to check the stitches, we can't have any chance of you bleeding anymore." She just nodded and motioned to be laid down all the way not halfway, like she had been. The giant helped her back down and began to pull off the gauze pads they had taped to her torso, all were in place. Artemis started to fall back to sleep, but not before Holly got on the bed and came closer to Artemis they locked eyes, then her back arched as Butler put a wound cleaner on the stitches. Butler looks at the poor girl, who had calmed down, and said, "Holly, would you be able to heal this? Please." The fairy nodded and took one last look at the girl, who was passed out again. She looked at the wound, "I think your going to have to take the stitches out, or I think that they will just heal into the skin." Butler only nodded.
Butler got all of the stitches out of her, and saw that the wound was beginning to open back up, Holly acted quickly. Placing her small hands on the gash, she whispered, "Heal." The gash slowly began to close, the blue sparks jumping from Holly's hand and into Artemis, the wound was finally closed. Artemis's eyes snapped open and she sat up, she looked to Holly. "Thank you Holly." She gave Holly a small smile, she slowly got up and stumbled to the door. "Now, if you could fetch me a shirt without blood on it," she looked to Butler, who pulled a blue sweater from the chair behind him and through it to her. She quickly pulled it on, "Thank you old friend. I am going to go have a word with my counterpart." As she walked out she gave her signature vampire smile and walked out. Butler and Holly just looked at each other and shrugged, Artemis would always be Artemis.
They followed her to the study they all know the other Artemis and Butler would be. They watched her throw open the door and storm in. You could hear the other Artemis sighing in annoyance. "What do you need?." The boy Artemis said, "Your laptop, be a good boy and I might leave the program for you." The boy looked bewildered, "Now why would I want some program?" Both Butlers were in the room and stood next to each other, looking at their principles, Holly just sat down on the chase lounge, shaking her head.
A debate, two games of chess, and ten minutes go by. The sound of typing filled the room, with the rare mumble. Both Artemis's looked up at the same time, and said, "Their home early." They all quickly moved to the window, sure enough the other part of the Fowl family was pulling up to the house. The girl Artemis sprang into action, "My Butler will be yours twin brother, and I will be your girlfriend, who you meet on a school trip, named Lizzie." "Short for Elizabeth." They looked at each other and nodded. Artemis held his arm out to the new Elizabeth, "Shall we go greet my parents Elizabeth?" "I think we shall, Arty." She took it and smiled, Artemis rolled his eyes and sighed, they strolled out to the foyer arm in arm.
Butler opened the door to the manor, and in came the twins tackling Artemis the second to the ground. 'Elizabeth' gave a weak smile, thinking about her brothers. "Boys get off of your older brother." Artemis the first said, "Timmy, the twins haven't seen Arty in four weeks. Boys help your brother up so he can tell us who this young lady is." Said Angeline Fowl.
A made up explanation later, Artemis the first had welcomed 'Elizabeth' to the family, and Angeline was overjoyed that her oldest son was actually making social contact. The twins looked at her and asked, "Are you aware that you look like a girl Artemis?" Time to play her part as a normal-ish girl. "Yes, I do. Arty, you didn't tell me your little brothers were so cute." She internally cringed and went on, she picked up Myles. "Do you want to play a game?" "What's in it for me simpletoon?" "How about if you win I tell you one of my secrets. If I win you have to figure it out." The boy nodded, she looked at Artemis, "We are going to go play a game." The boy simply nodded. She began to leave the room, all the way having a conversation with the boy in her arms.
The family just watched her walk away, "Myles is never that trusting of new people." Said Angeline. "She has a way with small children, mother." Said Artemis. "A way with children, no, she is a saint. I think her and Myles are going to have some great fun." Timmy said, looking down at Beckett, "Why don't you go with you brother and do something fun?" He said. Beckett nodded, Artemis picked him up and carried him towards his study.
Opening the door he saw Elizabeth whispering to Beckett, the small boys inhaled sharply in shock and turned to the open door where Artemis stood. "Mummy!" He stood and ran out the door past an Artemis. The boy Artemis stared at her in shock, "What have you done?" He asked. She said, "I did as I promised, I told him a secret." Artemis set the boy in his arms down to play, the boy, now on the floor, ran over to Elizabeth and said, "I want to know the secret." The girl smiled and go on her knees and said, "I am an Artemis Fowl, but I come from another dimension." The toddler ran back to Artemis and hid behind him, then the boy looked at the girl, who was smiling, and ran out of the room to find his mother and father.
Artemis walked over to the girl and asked, "Why would you tell them?" The girl looked down at her feet, "I want my Myles and Beckett, my mother and father. " She turned and walked to the window. "And you want to know what else, my dear Artemis, I want to know why. I want to know why, out of all the dimensions, I was sent here. To my eternal pain, seeing things and people I know but they don't know me." She fell to her knees defeated, "I want to go home, where father and I are the only Artemis Fowl's." A few tears escaped and ran down her face. Artemis approached the girl and unsure what to say, he kneeled down in front of the girl. He slowly put his arm around the girl and said, "We will find you a way home, if we do not, I promise you, you can live here. I will go clear things up with mother and father." "Oh, really now. I would love to hear it." They turned to look at the open door where Artemis the first and Angeline Fowl stood, both looked upset.
One real explanation later.
Angelina had taken the girl Artemis and pulled her into a hug, the girl slowly put her arms around the older woman, "Mother." She said, gripping the back of the woman's dress. Angelina was surprised to hear it come from a girl she had just met, but she said nothing as she stroked the the teens hair as she cried into her dress.
Artemis Fowl senior got up from the chair he sat in and walked over to his wife and the crying Artemis. He pulled the girl out of his wife's arms and moved her face so she was forced to look him in the eyes. "You are my daughter, you are always welcome. If you can't get home, then this will be your new one." She smiled and then she said, "The Butlers are in the Dojo?" The other child genius and he merely shrugged, "I need to get him, he has to meet them eventually." She gave her new father a hug, something Artemis Fowl the Second would normally never do, and walked out of the room.
The dojo was a small room in the basement, Artemis had a feeling they would be there. She was right she walked into see Holly watching the two Butlers spar. "Domovoi. Come on, you have to meet this world's mother and father." He dropped out of his fighting stance and began to follow his principal. She grabbed his hand, a childish behavior but it calmed her, "Butler, my calculations only give us a twenty-five percent chance of getting back right now. Living here maybe the only option." The man thought for a moment as they made it to the closed doors of the study. "I promised you I would be at the side until the end." She just nodded and they stood out in the hallway, the other Butler came up behind them. "I thought you guys would already be in there." They just nodded and knocked on the door, the girl behind the two larger men. A faint "come in", was heard and her Domovoi opened the door, they entered and both Artemis's went and stood next to each of their Butlers.
Back in girl Artemis's world.
Angelina sat in her daughter's study crying, they had just gotten back from the England trip. In her hands was a picture of Artemis Fowl the second, she stared at the photo and said, "Arty, come back where are you? Please just tell me you went on an adventure with your fairy friends." There was a knock on the French doors and when she looked there was Holly, she stood from the chase lounge. She stumbled to the door and opened it, mumbling, "You can enter." "Thank you Mrs. Fowl." Said Holly, "Where is my Arty?" Mrs. Fowl asked. Holly looked down and said, "Four weeks ago, two days after you and you family left, Artemis was working on a device for dimension travel. My associate and I had come from Haven. My associate had come to the study where she was working, and spilled a drink on her laptop. The computer activated the rouge program and that opened a portal in the room, Artemis sent him out of the room to get Butler and I. We came to the room to find Artemis was gone but the portal was still there. We waited three days to see if she would come back, but she didn't. We sent Butler into the portal to receive her, but after he went through it became unstable and closed. I'm sorry, we at the LEP don't think they will be back. We had our best on the case and he is still trying to find a way." By now Angelina was sobbing, and got up and ran out of the study to find her husband and tell him. A few days later Angelina had moved back up to the loft and refused to leave much to Artemis the first's disappointment. She began to see and hear things and the twins were afraid. They all wanted Artemis and Butler back. Juliet had stayed and become a bodyguard for the twins, everyone wanted to believe that they would come back.
A month later.
"Artemis, it will work. I have run the calculations ten times." The girl Artemis, now called Missy, said. "Missy, It will not work. The chance of this going wrong is too high for me to just let you run off and try this." "Fine, but remember you can't stop me." She began to walk out, "Missy, Artemis, Please. We all care for you here." She paused in the doorway, "I'm sorry, Artemis." She pulled a lipstick tube out of her blazer, and put some on, before walking over to him. She grabbed the front of his shirt and pulled him into a kiss. Pulling away she watched as he slowly began to sink to the floor, she kneeled down and pressed a kiss to his forehead, "It shouldn't last long Arty, I'm sorry I have to try." She quickly stood and wiped the rest of the lipstick off. Time to prove her twin wrong, she went and got a bottle of champagne and some flukes, she took the things to her study and set it up. She found her Butler in the gym with the other one, "Domovoi, I need you to come with me." she said, he nodded and followed.
Glass of champagne in their hands, "A month in a world so unlike our own, together." "Artemis, you want me to drink this." He said. She nodded, "Yes, old friend. But if you don't want to it is understandable, and I'll just have to get cake instead." The manservant looked at the drink and downed it, cake didn't sound bad, but he would have to go and make it. He could taste the drugs in it, he just let them take him. Artemis watched as Domovoi Butler collapsed to the floor, putting her fluke on the desk, she kneeled down to check his pulse. The was none, "I am sorry old friend. We are causing a dimensional rift. I calculated if we die, we go back. But like all calculations, I have a fifty percent chance of error. I'll take that chance, it only takes one minute." She stood, grabbed then raised her glass. "For you old friend. Until the end, see you on the other side." Hearing the door open, she finished her glass, she could feel the drug shutting down her heart, as she fell to the floor she felt someone catch her. The fluke shattering as it hit the floor, standing over her was her counterpart. He had a look of shock as he called for his Butler, her eyes fluttered closed, he checked her pulse, nothing. His Butler came in to find his holding her body, the twins had followed Butler when the ran to the study, he covered their eyes. Artemis the first and Angeline had also followed and entered to see their son holding the body of his counterpart. "Her plan, driven by sadness, didn't work. Butler, we-" Artemis started only to be interrupted by a flash of light.
One Magical Flash of Light Later.
Holly had found Artemis and Butler, she had heard a crash come from the study. She and Juliet were in the hall walking by the study when they heard the crash. Juliet opened the door and Holly drew out her buzz baton, ready to strike the intruder, only to find Artemis and Butler lying on the floor. They weren't moving, Juliet peeked into the room to see Butler. "Dom!" she cried and ran over to him. Checking his pulse and finding nothing, she rolled him onto his back and began CPR. Holly stood frozen, unsure if checking if Artemis was ok was worth it. Butler inhaled sharply, sitting up and seeing Artemis still unmoving on the floor, he stumbled over to the girl. He began trying to revive the girl, they just watched and winced as snap filled the room, right after a gasp filled the room and the girls eyes slowly fluttered open to look up. Holly watched as Butler checked the girl's pulse looking at his watch, she then said, "Your back, both of you..." Artemis who was still being checked over by Butler, waving him away with a silent, I'm ok. She stood clutching her side where a rib had snapped, and stumbled over to Holly, "Now who ever said that I, Artemis Fowl the second, would never make it home in time for the twins birthday." She said, smiling a vampire grin as she continued, "If I never came back, what ever would you do in your spare time, and those vacation days. Now, how long was I gone?" Holly in shock said, "Only two months." "My parents are back from England, correct." the captain nodded, and the girl just continued to the door, "I'm going to go change." They all nodded.
In the hall on they way up to her room, as she passed the door to the loft, inside a vase smash against the door, then through the door the sound of her father trying to talk to her mother. She opened the door and Artemis the first rushed to the door, pushing her out of the doorway and closing the door, facing away from the door he said, "Myles, what have I said about.." He had turned and seeing his daughter stopped, the man looked at the girl. "Artemis, your back. Holly said it was unlikely that you would be back." he said while pulling her close. "Father, broken rib, can't breathe." Her father quickly let her go. "Artemis, never write another program like that." he said kneeling down to look her in the eye. She merely nodded, "I will go speak to mother now." her father nodded. Artemis the first stood and opened the door for Artemis.
The room was dark, like when her father was missing, "Mother," said Artemis, "I'm back." Her mother sat up in bed, "Arty, are you really back? No of course your not, your - your not here, you're just another thing to torment me.." Artemis sighed and walked to the curtain covered window. She pulled them open, her mother screamed, seeing Artemis in full light made her ask, "Arty, you are back?" the girl walked over to the bed, grabbing her mother hand she placed it to her face, "I am here mother, now, please get out of bed and Father would like to see you." She stumbled out of bed and into the bathroom, that was connected to the loft. The girl took her leave, walking from the room and past her father. "Father, I'm going to go change." the man patted the girl on the shoulder, her father replied, "I'm going to tell the twins."
The girl walked into the room to find find that her clothes were all over the floor and a box she had packed full of old hard drives was open with Foaly plugging a hand held device into each one, his back to Artemis. "I would appreciate it if you stopped makeing a mess. If you wanted the formula you would have needed to get it off the servers." Foaly was too distracted to identify the voice, he just merely replied, "I already got the original formula, I am just finding which drives I get when they declare her dead." "I don't think they will be declaring her dead any time soon, pony boy." Foaly looked up from what he was doing while saying, "Look here, I have been running calculations for a month, there is no way she can come back, unless she died, then maybe, just maybe, her body would have to return to our universe. I doubt that Artemis would commit suicide over one tiny little chance..." He turned on the last sentence, stopping in shock. "Oh really, pony boy, I did and it worked. Proving I will do anything to get to the end game." she gave her vampire grin and Foaly stood and muttered, "Stupid mud girl." then to her said, "Fowl, good to see you. Did you meet another me, by any chance?" she grinned once more, "No, I did not. The people in that world did not care for me much, the Artemis Fowl that belonged there had better contact. I more helped my mother over there with the twins, Artemis was the one to go on the adventures." Foaly chuckled, "You, domestic." "I wouldn't call it that...Now, could you please leave, I wish to change." Foaly nodded, on the way out he patted her on the shoulder.
Walking into the closet, she saw that a matching black blazer and skirt, with a dress shirt and blue tie under it on the shelf. Seeing as those were the only unwrinkled things that were in the room, she put them on, she had problems getting the shirt on due to the broken rib, but she managed. The suit felt a bit big, she hadn't gained all the weight she had lost back yet, she was close but still couldn't get those last few. Walking out of the room and towards the stairs, she headed to her study, out of no where she was tackled to the ground, her rib screamed in agony and she let out a small scream as she felt it break the skin. The culprits rolled her over and looked her in the eyes, the twins, they were scared because they could see the blood and the rib poking through her shirt. "Beckett, go get Butler and our parents." she said, just barely making the words come out. The boy nodded and ran down the hall, hopefully to get Butler. "Myles, I need you to put your hands on the area and push, no matter how much I beg, don't stop until someone comes." She screamed as the boy pushed. Tears rolled down the small boy's face, his older sister was in pain, and her white shirt was soon stained blood red, her eyes were flickering closed as a group of people came running down the hall. Soon faces swam in her view, the boy stopped pushing on the area, "Hello. Butler, until the end, old friend." she said eyes falling shut.
In another prospective. What happened down stairs about a minute prior...(~.~)
Holly and Butler were having a nice conversation, when out of no where Beckett flew into Butler. "Arty is bleeding out on the carpet upstairs." Beckett sobbed, "We hurt her. We hurt Artymis." Butler looked at Holly, she took the silent message and ran out of the room, heading upstairs. Butler left the boy in the study after taking ten seconds to get him off of him. He took the stairs two at a time, and soon saw Holly kneeling over Artemis, she was screaming. Artemis's parents heard screaming and saw Butler running up the stairs and followed slowly, and when they saw Myles's head come into view they ran the final few steps. "Hello. Butler, until the end, old friend." Artemis said as soon as everyone was around her. Her eyes drifted shut and Holly pulled the bloody fabric away from the area, she looked up and said, "Nobody touch her." Everyone moved their hands away from the unmoving girl, Holly placed her hands on the area, "Heal," blue sparks covered the broken skin and bone.
The girl shifted in discomfort as she began waking up, Angeline quickly pulled the semi-awake girl in for a hug. "Mother, you are squeezing me to tight." The other woman pulled back, dry blood smeared on the front of her house coat and tears running down her face. The woman looked at what the limp Artemis was wearing, the suit. Foaly had made a theory that Artemis and Butler couldn't live in that other universe without risks, 1. Counterparts can't live in close proxy without damage. 2. The universe will feel the unbalance and kill the travelers. 3. When the extras died they would be transported back. The family was waiting for the bodys to be transported back, then a funeral would be arranged and Artemis would be dressed in that suit for the event. Angeline stumbled back away from the girl, "That suit..," she stood and backed away from the girl, then she stood and ran down the hall and through the doors to the loft, closing them behind her. "Mother, I am fine now. Please come back." she rushed up and stumbling to the door, only to find it locked and her fist hitting the door with a sharp knock. "Mother. Mummy, please, snap out of it. I'm fine.." Artemis the first caught his daughter as she crumpled to the floor, "Father," she looked up to him as she held on to his blazer, "I did not intend on this, you must understand." "I know Artemis," he said, "It is not your fault, it's no ones." The girl looked at herself, "I must change, I need to talk to her again." The father daughter pair stood. "I don't have anything else. All of my clothes were thrown about my room." Her father looked at her, "Follow me."
"Why is my favorite suit on a wax model of me, in a glass case?" Artemis asked as they stood in the library. "I had it made so the boys, incase you didn't come back, would remember you." Her father said. "But, I'm smiling. Father, I do not smile like that, do I." Artemis the first sighed and kneeled down to eye level, "Arty, that is my fault that you don't smile. I was always so cold and distant with you, and I regret disappearing on you, leaving you to take care of your mother. After you left, the boys kept asking about you. I took your favorite suit and had this model made of you," he stopped and chuckled, "I was moving up the stairs and past the loft, when your mother opened the door a crack. I stopped and she saw it and thought you came back, until you didn't move. She accused me of killing you, that I was just some intruder." as he told her this he unlocked the case, and began to pull out the model. Picking up the wax Artemis with care the two began walking to Artemis's room. "Father, can I keep the model? I might need it one day." she asked asked her father put the model down in the middle of the room. He cast her a strange look, but nodded, "Sure Arty. If you want it." Chuckling and muttering about nothing changing, he took his leave.
She swapped clothes with the model, it was like a Barbie, and Artemis hated Barbie, but it looked like her and could be positioned to sit. She put in one of the chairs by the unused fireplace, she sat opposite of it and said, "I do not think the blood is coming out of that suit, even with a good dry cleaning." She ran her hand through her hair, then looked at her watch, "Time to see mother." She stood and went opened the door to see Holly getting ready to knock. "Hello, Holls." she said. Holly looked up to see the human, "Artemis, I never really got to say it." She put her arms around the girl genius, "Welcome back, I missed you." Artemis vampire smiled, "Now, now Captain Short saying she missed me. I never thought the day would come." Holly pulled out of the hug, taking a step back she lightly punched the genius in the arm. Chuckling the girl walked away, towards the loft, pausing after a few steps and looked back. "I missed you to Holly, the other yous, they were, um, different, but they weren't the same as you. She was not as trusting of me as she was of the male Artemis." Turning and leaving Holly to ponder what she had said. "Mother, open the door." There was a crash on the other side of the door, Angelina had thrown a vase. "I am not your mother. My Arty is never coming back. I miscarried those twins." screamed her mother. Artemis turned and walked away from the door, there was only one thing to do. Get the twins.
"Beckett, Myles." "Artymis, your ok." she looked down at her six, no seven, year old brothers, their eyes filled with tears. She kneeled down and looked them in the eyes, "Of course, I'm fine. I am sorry if I scared you." the boys nodded and rushed to hug her. "I am going to need you to be brave. Mother is sick and she needs our help, but remember, what ever she says do not believe her, she loves you both." "What do you want us to do Artemis?" Myles asked. Artemis stood and picked him up and said, "We are going to snap Mother out of it." The boy nodded and looked at his brother, "Beckett, we're going to save mother." Beckett nodded and grabbed Artemis's hand, "Let's do this." he said. They started to the door and went to get Butler for the key to the loft.
Key in hand, Artemis pushed her brothers behind her and unlocked the door. She took a deep breathe, cast her brothers one last glance before going in. Pieces of a china vase scraped against the floor as she pushed it open, she stepped over it. After lifting one brother at a time into the room, she walked over to the curtains that were closed. She looked down at the two boys, that were gripping her dress pants with their small hands, she gave a weak smile before throwing the curtains open. Their mother screamed and hid under the quilt, Artemis walked over with the two brothers following. "Mother, we need you to come back. You're scaring the twins." Artemis said. "Don't call me mother, my children are dead." Mrs. Fowl yelled. "Mother, we are not dead. Myles, Beckett, and I are all fine." The form under the quilt started shaking, "I saw my Arty bleeding out. The twins disappeared with her. I have her blood on my house coat." "Mother, I will close the curtains if you come out of bed and look at us." The woman under the quilt stilled. Artemis went to the curtains and pulled them closed, the woman in the bed slowly stuck her head out. "Arty, come give mother a hug." Artemis removed herself from the boys' grips and walked over to the woman arms out stretched. She smelled of perfume, her arms pale, and clammy, and then she spotted the twins. "Arty, have you had kids? It seems like only yesterday you were a little girl." Angelina let her go and stood, walking over to the boys, "I guess I'm your grandmother. What are your names?" The boys looked up at the woman they knew was their mother. Beckett spoke up, "I'm Beckett and this is Myles. Do you not remember us mummy?" The woman must have ignored the 'mummy' and just turned to look at Artemis, "Your boys are so cute. You know Arty, your brothers were named that." "Yes mother, I don't have kids those are my brothers." Angelina's mood changed, "Stop calling me mother, and who are you people? My husband is an important person, you know. He can get rid of you kids." Artemis walked over to the boys and kneeled down to eye level, "Beckett run and get Father he will be in the living room." Beckett nodded and ran out the door.
Beckett and father came into the loft to see Myles crying and Artemis fighting to get a lamp out of Angelina's grasp. "Angelina." The older woman looked over to her husband, "Timmy, thank goodness you're here. These children broke in." Timmy walked over and grabbed Artemis's shoulder, "These are our children, not intruders." The woman's eyes cleared slightly, "Our children?" she asked, lowering the lamp. "Yes, Angel. Our children." "How could I forget our children." she went over to the twins and pulled them into a hug, "Arty, can you open the curtains for me? It is much too dark in here." Artemis nodded and went to open curtains.
