Okay guys and I am back to give you another chapter! Oh yeah, at TL16- I know that in the last book it said that Artemis was buried but then I just made the Fowl cellar up or then this story would make no sense at all.-L0ra2 Thanks to all my reviewers. Keep them coming.

Chapter 3; there's 2, but different

With the crystal night sky still holding the night sky, you could see miles from where you were standing. The breezy night gave it a cool feeling. Holly Short was flying in the air with her mechanical wings that she had strapped on to her back. Flying was the only way for her to escape the world and just relax. Holly also was running hot. She just did the ritual; she came back to see if Artemis was actually sleeping okay and not planning anything. Holly's helmet detected something that was 1000 meters ahead, something warm and it was a silhouette of a person. Holly stopped and just hovered shielded from any mud-man. She zoomed in on the person with her updated camera that was installed in her helmet. There was some kind of person walking towards the Fowl manor and she assumed it was Butler, but Holly zoomed in on the person more and the silhouette was too small for such a big mud-man like Butler. Then Holly guessed it was Artemis. She checked the time and it was 12:30 A.M and Artemis was supposed to in the Manor. What is he planning? Holly thought then slowly flew towards the Manor. She got to the window of Artemis's room and opened the window that was left opened. She unshielded and went inside his room. Everything was dark in there and she couldn't see anything. Holly activated her night version and saw that the bed was empty. Artemis's bedroom was like his study, except there was a bed, nightstand and your typical bedroom things. There was no sight of Artemis anywhere. Holly sighed then looked around the room, then heard something behind her. She quickly turned around and saw someone staring at her. The light flickered on then she saw Artemis standing there with a look of confusion. He had a cup of water in his right hand.

"May I ask why you are in my room at this very moment?" Artemis asked and Holly stood there not saying a word. Then finally Holly found her words that she was meaning to say.

"Well, I just got back from Tara. I just wanted to check up on you." Holly quickly answered. "What are you doing Arty?" Artemis looked at his cup of water then swirled the water in his cup and looked back to Holly. He smiled slightly.

"I was thirsty, we need to be hydrated am I correct?" Artemis stated and Holly just shrugged. She smiled at Artemis then thought.

"Wait, you got your own water? You usually ask Butler to get you something." Artemis stared at her blankly then replied.

"He was making his rounds, I didn't want to disturb him and I can get my own water from my study."

"Hold on a minute, you have a fridge in your study now?" Holly asked and Artemis just nodded. He walked towards his bed and sat down. He put his glass of water on his night stand.

"Yes I do, now would you mind to depart so I could sleep? It would be greatly appreciated." Artemis added then Holly nodded at him. She noticed that he was in his suit.

"You're going to bed with your suit on?"

"Of course I am not! It will ruin the fabric if I do and I am asking you to leave so I could change as well." Artemis explained and Holly took a step back. She nodded then turned around to go. She walked out the door and closed it behind her.

"Night Arty" She whispered ever so quietly. She walked past his study and peeked inside. She scanned the room for a fridge and saw nothing. Artemis had lied. There was no fridge and it was most likely that it was Artemis that she detected on her helmet. Artemis was planning something and she knew it. Holly was now getting suspicious of Artemis and she just walked past the living room and saw Butler reading a book on a chair. She saw him reading Romeo and Juliet. Holly took a picture with her helmet, this is hilarious she thought and went towards the front door. She activated her wings to fly around the Manor just to think to herself. Her helmet detected something in the bush that was warm. She ignored it, thinking it was an animal.

30 minutes earlier

Artemis started directly into his other self's blue and hazel eyes. The other Artemis climbed out of the coffin and looked around the room. Dirt was on his suit and some parts were wrinkled, Artemis just wanted those gone at this very moment. His other self finally realized that his suit was dirty and wiped all the dirt from his suit and grumbled.

"Ugh, there's dirt on my suit, this will ruin the fabric" The other Artemis murmured then looked at Artemis. He walked up towards him examining him.

"This must be very confusing for you now is it?" He asked and Artemis nodded slowly. "Well good, since I too feel confused. Now, how long has it been since you, have been alive?" Artemis looked at his other self hesitantly and thought for a brief second then looked back to 'himself'.

"It's been half a month since I have gained consciousness. Now that I have the words to speak, may I ask how this is all happening?" He asked and the other Artemis shrugged slightly. Artemis just looked at him trying to figure out what is happening while they speak.

"For once, I do not know, but I am guessing that you don't have all of our memories am I correct?" Artemis nodded then he leaned on one of the walls looking at his other self curiously.

"And I am guessing that Holly is helping you with the memories?" Artemis felt something weird when the other Artemis had mentioned Holly. How did he know about her? Artemis thought.

"How do you know Holly Short?" The other Artemis just put a hand to his head and shook his head slightly. Artemis never got that look from anybody, but he was the one to do it to someone. That's what he remembered anyways.

"You know Artemis… I am the original Artemis Fowl the second, you're just the clone that was made so my spirit could go into the body to live life. I never thought about the theory of there's two of me." He said and Artemis stood there thinking about how this is all happening.

"This could be all a-"

"This could be all a hallucination?" The other Artemis interrupted "I thought that too. You could be drugged by all we know. Since I believe it is real life, we should piece together what is happening." The other Artemis explained and Artemis walked around the room. No one was better than solving something rather than himself and together they had just doubled their intelligence.

"You had said that my body is the cloned version, so the spirit of you is in my body…How does that explain you?" Artemis asked and the other Artemis sat at the edge of the stone table.

"Do you have any problems with memories?" He asked and Artemis remembered what he had told to Holly. He had said that he was could remember clearly his bad memories. He was having trouble with his pain and agony memories. Could that be the answer to what he is experiencing? If he couldn't feel pain and the agony…Where did those go exactly?

"Of course it is!" Artemis exclaimed and the other Artemis was listening in to what he had to say. Artemis walked up to his other self and touched his shoulder experimentally. Artemis felt a rush of feelings that he just couldn't handle, he took his hand off then the feelings suddenly stopped. He looked directly into his other self's eyes, both their eyes were filled with curiosity.

"It seemed that our spirit had split in the process of going into the clone's body" The other Artemis stated and Artemis agreed. Their spirit had split and that could mean something.

"I felt all the good memories so far; I had trouble remembering all the painful memories." The other Artemis took that theory into account then thought back to his memories feeling something dark within him. He looked back at Artemis and sighed.

"I feel all the painful memories and no good ones. Let's just say that I am the bad memory of Artemis Fowl the second" The other Artemis said and Artemis nodded. Artemis got the theory of the split, the information was running through his brain. This was huge.

"When our spirit had split, it seemed that our memories had also split and went into our body. When we got together, you spirit had reconnected with the brain and body. Now at this very moment you are alive and breathing. We can't be so sure that are personality is the same, you could end up pure evil and me… I could become a hero and I won't act like my normal self."

"At least Orion hasn't shown up." The other Artemis mumbled then Artemis raised an eyebrow. "Orion is the annoying part of us that has a passionate love for Holly" Artemis's jaw opened then he sighed. That would be annoying. He thought. Artemis walked towards the door then looked back to his other self.

"You need to stay here; no one can know that there are 2 of us." Artemis started to walk out the door when he heard his other self-speak to himself.

"Well, having Butler not by side is going to be different." Then the other Artemis spoke to Artemis before he left. "And Artemis…if you have the chance, can you bring me a new suit?" Artemis nodded then went outside.

He looked at the sky and no clouds were in the dark sky. Artemis looked towards the moon and saw a figure emerge then disappear. It was so sudden, so quick, but he knew that someone was watching him. Artemis thought it was Holly. Artemis walked casually to the Manor and then went inside. He quickly grabbed a glass then filled it with tap water. If that was Holly…Artemis thought. Holly would check up on me in my room. Artemis opened the door and he was correct. Holly was there searching, then she suddenly turned around to see him standing there. Artemis flipped the switch. Holly's night vision goggles were on. Artemis had to ask to make it casual.

"May I ask why you are in my room at this very moment?" Artemis asked and Holly stood there.

"I just got back from Tara…" Holly finally found her words then replied to Artemis with a smile.

The next day

Holly was staying above ground for Artemis, until he gets all of his memories back. She was worried about him. What if something terrible would happen to Artemis that would be permanent? That was always floating around Holly's mind now. If Artemis didn't get all his memories, something might happen to him. It was possible that one of his enemies might come back to destroy him. Most of his enemies were already dead or even in jail. Yet she was still anxious. Holly woke up on one of the couches that were in the living room. She found that she had a blanket upon her that she didn't get for herself last night. No one was in the room but herself, but she felt very uneasy.

"Calm down Short, it's a rare time of peace. Nothing will happen." She told herself and she wondered out of the room and went down the long corridor. She found Juliet in the kitchen cooking something on the stove top. Two twin boys were sitting at the table chatting away. It was Myles and Beckett. Holly walked into the kitchen. Juliet turned around to see Holly standing before her. Juliet smiled brightly.

"Good morning Holly!" She said in a sing-song voice. Holly smiled, she looked behind Juliet and something was sizzling on the pan.

"Watcha makin'?" Holly asked then Juliet looked at the stove top, she looked back at Holly who was waiting for an answer.

"I'm making breakfast for the boys. Its pancakes" Holly smiled, Juliet was their bodyguard and she was close to both Myles and Beckett. It was good to have someone like her take care of the boys.

"You do know that Pancakes came from-" Myles was cut off by Beckett.

"We don't have to know that Myles" Beckett said rudely. Sometimes Beckett got angry because of his brother's intellect. It got annoying after a while. Juliet looked at Beckett and crossed her arms.

"Beckett! That wasn't very nice of you. Apologize to your brother." Beckett looked at his brother and sighed.

"I'm sorry" Beckett murmured. Myles raised an eyebrow then smirked.

"I'm sorry for what?" Myles added then Beckett sighed again. He didn't answer for a while then he finally did.

"I'm sorry for cutting you off." Beckett turned away from Myles, not talking to him. Holly smiled then shook her head slightly. Juliet uncrossed her arms.

"Those boys…Anyways, Holly do you want pancakes?" Holly thought for a second, she remembered she was supposed to be underground last night, she swore under her breath.

"Nah, I'll pass. I was supposed to be underground last night, must of forgot. I have to leave soon"

"That's a shame. You should take a fruit, for your long ride." Juliet tossed her an apple. Holly caught it then she rubbed the apple on her sleeve.

"Thanks" She said and Juliet elbowed her lightly.

"I gave you that blanket this morning. You are very welcome." Holly nodded. "Well thank you, you didn't have too." Juliet shook her head.

"You're my friend Holly and guest, I was simply trying to make you comfortable" Holly smiled warmly then she walked out of the kitchen. She walked towards the door until she suddenly saw the door fly open quickly. There stood Artemis some parts of his suit were covered in dirt. There were some wrinkles on the suit also. Holly raised an eyebrow.

"What happened to you?" She asked curiously and Artemis's eyes widened. Holly didn't notice anything, but his suit. Artemis looked at the floor then replied to Holly.

"I took a walk around the manor that's all." Holly shook her head in disbelief.

"And all of a sudden dirt went on your suit?" Artemis shook his head.

"Really Holly… That's not logical; I tripped on a rock and fell on the ground. Now my suit is ruined." Holly started to laugh; she could imagine Artemis falling on the ground. She knew what expression that would be on his face if that happened. Artemis crossed his arms.

"That's nothing to be laughed at." Artemis snapped then walked passed her. Holly stopped laughing then realized something, he looked different, and she just couldn't tell what difference was it. Apart the suit, something was off about him. Holly stopped Artemis by gently grabbing his arm.

"You seem different…Is anything wrong?" Artemis didn't reply for a while then glanced at Holly.

"Uh…Nothings wrong. I am just angry about falling on the ground, now will you excuse me, I need to change into another suit." Artemis walked up the stairs to his room. Holly watched Artemis go into his room. She then remembered she forgot her helmet in the living room. She walked quickly into the living room and found Artemis sitting on the couch she was sleeping on that night. He was reading something. Holly just stood at the door frame and watched Artemis put the book away. Artemis turned to see Holly at the door frame.

"Oh Holly, how long have you been standing there?" He asked casually. She was very confused. She just say Artemis go into his room. She looked back to the corridor and pointed there not saying anything, and then she pointed in the room she was in. Artemis raised an eyebrow.

"What are you doing?" Artemis asked then Holly found her words.

"You just went into your room...Now you are here in the living room. What gives?" Artemis tilted his head slightly.

"What are you talking about? I was here. I just woke up. Anyways, how are you?" Artemis smiled warmly then Holly felt even more confused. He was just in a bad mood. Now he is smiling asking how she was. Something wasn't right. Holly walked up to Artemis. "What game are you playing Fowl?" Artemis was confused; Holly was assuming that he was playing some sort of game, but clearly to him he wasn't, he was just being nice.

"I am not playing any games Holly."

"It's like there's two of you, but different. Are you okay? Maybe you're suffering from M.P.D" Holly quickly said and Artemis shook his head.

"If I was suffering from multiple personality disorder then I would be in the hospital am I correct? And I would not be myself fully." Holly nodded slowly.

"Okay Fowl, I trust you, but something is off and I'm going to find out what that is sooner or later" Holly took her helmet and wings and walked out the door furiously. Artemis looked out the window and saw Holly take off. She shielded and he couldn't see her anymore. Artemis heard someone come down the stairs. He stood near the door frame of the living room. His doppelganger came with a new suit on and he looked at him.

"What's her problem?" Artemis looked at him and shook his head slightly.

Thanks for reading this chapter! Okay now that you know the theory of the twins. What is going to happen with both of them in later chapters? Oh no Holly is getting suspicious…Will Holly find out about their secret? What do you think will happen? Questions will be answered soon enough. To be continued…
