Artemis Fowl's diary, disk 3 (encrypted)

On this day, seventeen years after my birth, my father handed me a simple black book and instructed me to read it in its entirety. After having dinner with my mother and my father, I retired to my room to read, at the dismay of Juliet, who insisted that I eat dessert before leaving the table. Her days with the wrestling team in the US had not changed her at all. She returned to us several weeks ago after the group was bought out by a television station in New York. Evidently, Jade Princess had become very popular among the boys in the US, but she felt that her place was at the Fowl Manor, so she has returned to us.

            My mother is thoroughly convinced that Juliet has begun to fancy me, as she put it, but I disagree with this. However, to be on the safe side, I have been hiding out in my laboratory more often, conversing with Butler on the status of the new electronic security system that we are building for the Manor. I haven't said anything to Butler about his sister, but I think that he has come to the same conclusion as my mother.

            My father is continuing his business venture with the Japanese car company, Honda. It seems that he has become very interested in their hybrid electric cars, and he has been lobbying in London and in the US for more legislation concerning air pollution. Much to my surprise, I find myself agreeing with him on this particular subject. I believe all of this stems from an experience I had several years ago while vacationing in a location that I can't recall. I was brought a glass of spring water so clean, that it didn't even taste like water. I asked the waitress about it, but I can't remember her words. Only, I remember her face… I can't remember the restaurant, or even her name, but I do remember her face. She had hazel eyes, I believe.

            Somehow, I believe all of these memories are still connected to the conspiracy of the contact lenses I found in my eyes some three and a half years ago. My mind has an explanation for all of it, but my heart is not convinced. Something happened to Butler, Juliet, and I, and I am not going to stop searching until I find the answers to my questions. All of my memories are intact, but they all seem to be lies, such as the vacation with the destination I can't recall.

            I can't help but be entranced by a song that's popular in the US. I've never been one for music, but when I heard Juliet listening to it late last night, I heard the words that described the feelings I have been having for the past three years…

I will never know myself until I do this on my own
And I will never feel anything else, until my wounds are healed
I will never be anything till I break away from me
I will break away, I'll find myself today


I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I'm somewhere I belong
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I'm somewhere I belong
Somewhere I belong

Don't worry… ;) To be continued!
