Disclaimer: I forgot to put it on the prologue. I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING.
Artemis' POV:
Here I am. In my room. Bored. No one and nothing to challenge my intellect. It is evening and I sleep won't dare to visit me.
"Artemis. This is urgent." Butler yelled outside of the room. This better be really 'urgent'.
I opened the door and he suddenly enters.
"It's raining outside..."
"I know." I suddenly cut off whatever he is saying.
"And there's a girl lying outside in the gate, and she looks like Holly, though she has a feature of a human." I suddenly looked up at him, a human girl look like Holly?
"Open the gates. We should let her in."
I was waiting for Butler to enter with the girl, after a couple of minutes he lay wet girl on the couch. Just how long is she lying on the ground? I observe her; she was wearing a black suit, making her skin as white as snow to stand out. She must be a little inches smaller than me. Her hair is mid-length, black. Although she's human she really looks like Holly. There's a small ring in her pinky finger though, looks like the one I have but its different, it's a communicator, this girl is no ordinary.
"Oh my God! What happened to her?"
"It's quite obvious, Juliet."
"Tsk. You're no fun. I'll carry her to guest room. I'll lend her my old clothes."
As Butler carry her to guest room and Juliet is following them. I can't help but looking at the mysterious girl. Somehow I feel attached, sad. Why?
Nadine's POV:
Hmm... Soft bed, warm blanket... Silk? My hair is wet... What happened? Oh... I went to past to do a mission... Opal Koboi and Jon Spiro is teaming up... Need to protect my family and Haven. I enter this cubicle and I passed out... Hmm... Rain... Right, I soaked in rain, but soft bed…? It's time to open my eyes! Nadine, wake up!
+And then she opened her eyes but that required almost her strength. She also felt numb.
I can't move, base on the bed and walls... These may be one of the guest rooms of Fowl Manor. I'm already inside, ha. Who carried me and change my clothes?
+There's a knock and the door opened. Nadine struggle to move and sit but she can't she was like paralyzed.
"Are you awake?"
It's Juliet. She must be the one who change my clothes.
"Ye...s" Oh God, I can't even speak clear. Uncle Foaly!
"You really look tired. You should sleep and maybe you feel better tomorrow." She said with a smile. I want to talk to her but she's right. I really need rest. You better be ready uncle Foaly when I get back.
Artemis' POV:
I really can't stop thinking about that girl. Why do I feel like that? Should I inquire it to Butler? No, I won't get enough answers to this. How 'bout Juliet? No way. She may end up teasing me about this till the last minute of my life. Holly's not here, she has something to do. Hmm...
"So now you're sitting on the couch? I really thought you went to your room and stare at your laptop."
"I am waiting for you Juliet. How is she?"
"Oh, so now you're concerned?"
"Juliet this is no time for unnecessary chatting, just answer me."
Juliet sighed deeply. I wonder why?
"She woke up..."
I felt relieved...
"But she can't move and she can't speak clearly. Let's just hope that she will be better tomorrow."
I became worried again. Seriously, why?
"Okay." I said and went into upstairs to my room to think and maybe I can sleep.
"Arty..." Juliet called me, even if I say to her don't call me Arty, she still persistent that I don't care anymore.
"You should be the one to talk to her when she wakes up. I don't want to be a messenger between you two." She said smiling back at me.
Okay, now this will not only challenge my intellect but my emotional intelligence. Why?
» = Nadine's POV: « = Artemis' POV:
» Hmm... I feel better... I can move now, finally... I see a shade of light entering the room through the window... It's morning... I sit and check all sides of the room and my body... The newly invented communicator was still in my pinky finger. Should I contact now Uncle Foaly? Mom? Dad? Ciel?
« Maybe she's awake now. I don't really want to disturb her, but the thought of me talking to her makes me somehow good. Since Butler is cooking breakfast, I may also ask her to join us. The moment I got in front of the guest room door, I feel nervous. I think of what possibilities why this happening is but nothing seemed too matched. Why?
+There's a sudden open of the door and Nadine didn't flinched. It was like she's expecting it.
« "Good Morning. I see you can move, you must feel better now."
» It's dad. I should act now... I only nodded.
« I didn't expect someone to be so... beautiful, if we put it like that when they wake up in the morning. I really can see Holly in her.
"What is your name?" I am so eager to know.
» Okay, here goes. Lying time.
"I'm..." What name...
« She's thinking, did she forgot her name, have amnesia, if that's the case we have a problem.
» "I'm Dianne Wolf." Why did I use a simple anagram of my name... He will notice it.
« Odd name, like something is behind it, especially the surname 'Wolf'.
"I'm Artemis Fowl. You are in the Fowl Manor."
» If you only knew dad...
« "So how did you end up outside on our gate? Do you remember anything before that?"
» "No... I'm sorry..."
« Slight amnesia or she's hiding something?
"No... Don't be sorry. It must be a memory lag... You may remember what happen but it's only bit by bit... When you remember something, don't hesitate to tell us so we can help you." I want to help her.
» I just smiled at the thought that he cared for me even though we're strangers at the moment.
« "Do you have anything to ask?" I really want to make this conversation longer.
» "Yes, umm... Who change my clothes?" I need to ask this or else he may end up asking why I didn't get curious about the clothes.
« "It was Juliet. Her brother, Butler carry you here."
» "I should say thanks to them and sorry for the trouble I caused. You too, Mr. Fowl. Thank you for letting me here and sorry for the inconvenience I may cause." I really should use formality so that he can't smell something fishy here.
« "Don't worry about it and please, call me Artemis." Somehow, I hate her calling me Mr. Fowl or any formality she can think to call me.
» "Well then, Artemis..."
« She said my name as like how Holly said it.
» "Thank you very much." I'm sorry for lying dad. I'm sorry.
« I can't help myself but blush a bit.
"Butler is preparing breakfast now. I hope you would join us." Join us...
» "I will. Just let me fix myself in a minute." I get out of the bed and turn to bathroom.
« "Okay." I closed the door and wait her outside. Talking to her is good and she is good. Dianne Wolf, ha... Something is really intriguing here. I will know it soon enough, but how does she know where the bathroom is... For someone that can't move and is first time here, she would ask, no, she must ask... She is hiding something...
