The Lost Files:
Chapter One: The Bells That Sing
"Get out of here." Artemis voice was cold and filled with venom. "These are my children, don't try and contact me, or them, or there could be consequences." Artemis voice was void of all emotion as he spoke and it had an edge to it.
"You can't just- No full fairy has permission to enter my land." Artemis replied coldly his voice hardening, as he stood by the open window his hands fashioned behind him. Suddenly a cool breeze entered the room sending a shiver down Holly's spine as she stood their, a look of pure disbelief on her face.
'Why after all this time.' She thought.
He couldn't just kick her out of there home; they had shared it together for years...why was he doing this? Holly held her child close to her, the older of the two twins...Rose; she had been named for her Mother.
But Artemis had already spoken and she could already feel the sickness gripping her, as she turned and left from the house. "Fine..."
"Don't try to contact me; it would only agitate me further." And with that he cut all bonds from the fairy world. Apparently.
Fowl Manner, west wing,
Kane stiffened something didn't make sense...how could have died from a fire all those years ago...There was no suggestions to a fire and yet...His Father had told him that he had, he felt an uncharacteristic lump form in his throat. He had originally in hearted her hair, but his Father had died it when he was young...Kane bit his lip, his Grandparents had told him that he always looked like his Mother...
Was that his reason for dying his hair so young, Kane could still see his true hair color fighting to reach its peak? He felt a frown tug at his lip...but that wasn't all, that he had inherited from his Mother...He had on hazel eye and one blue, his hazel eye was of course hidden behind mirror lenses. He felt fake as if he wasn't real...as if his Father had made him well...his Father.
He felt altered by his Father, it was a strange feeling...It was as if because he looked more like his Mother then he did his Father...His Father couldn't bear to look at him, he had never called him his son. Kane felt a large tug of pain; it was like he was some sick joke. Of some sort, his Father had named him Kane, because of the permanent injury in his left leg no doubt. And he had to walk with a limp and a cane where ever he went.
Kane felt hollow, his elder brother Artemis was the perfect roll model, apparently he had inherited his Fathers jet black hair, by birth and he had the same piercing eyes. He was top of his class and more, some said that he would out do his Father as well...But he was also really good in sports he was perfect. Kane felt the over whelming curiosity to find out about his Mother. Holly Fowl.
But that wasn't all...that set him apart from the other members of Fowl manner, his older sister Violet, was also a top graduate, he felt separated as if an invisible barrier had appeared between the two of them. Of course he was smart, but...he was pretty much nothing compared to them. Nothing worth mentioning, nothing worth...calling son...
How he longed his Father would say those words...But he was growing tired of trying to please his Father. Kane closed his laptop without a sound before turning around in his chair...There was nothing but a burnt photograph, of him and his Mother, her face, he had never even seen his Mothers face. It was as if Holly Fowl had never existed. This was the only proof he picked up the photograph.
Apparently he had, a twin when he had been born...She had died in the fire when his Mother had gone in and had saved him from the flames. Kane let out a long sigh as he stood up, his gaze falling to the window. And then he felt it, the overwhelming erg to go into the woods, and stare at the stars...
Underground Haven:
Rose had always been different from the other children. She had seen that right away, her hair for one was much darker then the other children in her age group, but it had a tinge of red to it. And another reason was, she was a lot taller, and she grew a lot faster then the others in her class.
At the age of six she towered over everyone, when in truth she wasn't even suppose to be able to walk until she was at least sixty. It made no sense really. Rose tucked a strand of her hair underneath her ear as always her sapphire green eyes gleaming.
She had never known her Father; her Mother didn't like to talk about him. Rose could see the pain in her eyes when ever she spoke about him. It saddened her to think that her Mother couldn't even say his name without cringing. It all made sense really, it hadn't taken her long to find out who her Father was, the tough part was finding anything positive about him.
His name Artemis Fowl, apparently they had met when he had kidnapped her. But then why would have Holly had married Artemis...they had obviously bonded during a set period of times. She was four years separated from her eldest sibling, who she had never met. His name probably was Artemis as she suspected...But she knew absolutely nothing about her twin and her older sister.
Both Artemis's were a mystery to her. And one she was determined to break. But what had probably driven her to find out about her Father was the appearance of Trouble in her Mothers and her life.
Trouble was kind, caring and would listen to anyone he had a soft voice. He was the perfect Father; he made Holly happy that was all that mattered didn't it? Holly had become pregnant with a child, and they had promptly gotten married. It had been a reality large wedding.
"Rose," Her Mothers voice it had grown distant, but that was to be expected, and yet she could hear the happiness in it. 'That's all that matters.' She thought as she stood up from her Computer, as it shrank into her wall. Her shelves were lined with gadgets, and awards...Her room was covered in clothes...She frowned at her own mess, as she turned and opened the door.
Holly Short was standing there waiting. Her eyes were gleaming, and she looked curiosity at Rose. "Are you working on a new school project?" She questioned as she watched Rose.
"Hm...not at the moment, I just finished one last night mom," Rose noticed that Holly's smile grew a little.
"Anyways...I wanted your help with something."
"With what?" Questioned rose curiously as she followed her Mother out into the kitchen.
"I would like your help with a name. For your brother or sister."
"Well...I guess it could depend on what day the baby is born, or what gender...and I suppose trouble might want to name the child after himself, or maybe some one in his family, I think it would be better if you asked him and not me after all he is his son- I already asked trouble...and...I'm sorry if it seems as if I'm ignoring you, I'm not really- Mother its okay you just got married, I understand..."As Rose said this shat grabbed a box of cereal, and began to poor herself a glass of milk.
"Mother would you like to go above ground with me, I want to check out those energy sources in Ireland, and I don't want to go by myself." Rose whispered she saw her Mother stiffen slightly. Rose had done above ground work before, and each experience was accelerating. Of course normally it would have been dangerous to bring a pregnant elf, but Foaly had created a new shuttle, with the help of Rose.
Her smile had all but vanished, a worried look appeared in her eyes and yet there was a flame, an old ledged, that the people told know about Holly. That when you saw such a flame in her eyes it would be best to ignore it. But Rose could feel that her own flame was indeed burning. She was surprised by her Mothers answer, "Very well tomorrow me and you will go."
"Good...I've had been wondering about it for some time." She glanced at her Mother, wondering if she had taken the hit.
"Who else should we bring- No one else, Mother just me and you." Rose whispered.
"Hm, will that be okay."
"Yes, I've already asked Foaly." It was the truth she had asked Foaly. They would arrive early in the morning of course and examine the area.
Chapter Two:
Kane walked silently today was Friday, the last day of school until Monday. He paused for a moment studying the school that towered above him, his eyes fell to the driver, his body guard Emma. Emma had been the closet person he had as a Mother. She had dark red curly bushy hair; her eyes were an emerald green. She even reminded him of the description his Father had given him one time.
He had spoken as if his Mother was some sort of horrible cockroach. Kane hadn't like it then, so he had decided it was better to stop asking him about his Mother. He watched Emma, pull the car into an empty parking lot. That was reserved for them. His Brother and Sister of course had already been up at the school at six thirty in the morning. Kane doubted that were they did in there spare time.
It was more or less like hacking into several business and borrowing, as his elder brother put it. It was more like stealing, it in fact was stealing. Kane let out a sigh he felt a little jealous that they both stole so easily, Kane on the other hand...Couldn't help but feel his consciousness bother him every time he thought of competing with them in that subject. It felt...well weird in truth it felt wrong...It just did.
Holly rolled her eyes, "Don't worry I'm sure Rose won't destroy the shuttle, right Rose." They were in the shuttle port, the shuttle, was perfect as usual. Thanks to Foaly, which he had barely any help from Rose.
"Yeah, it goes a lot smoother." Rose mumbled, her eyes gleaming.
Foaly let out a groan, 'Just what we need, another pilot like Holly,' He thought.
"I remember when it required a lot of talent to run these," Holly mumbled know it took just a flick of a switch, and a magma flare of course. And then up they would go. Holly gazed down at the flames. 'There must be more to this then just looking at magical energy...rose wants something...'
Rose paused glancing up at the newest shuttle, it was a clear white, and took in the heat from the flames. It was humming silently waiting for them. Of course normally the ride would have been violent. But know it was smooth and soft.
"I just patented these of course, but there really, expensive, oh and there nice and smooth, and of course very, very expensive." Foaly replied putting the empathy on expensive.
"We get the idea Foaly, me and my Mother are very responsible, aren't we Holly?" Rose couldn't help but feel a vampire like grin spreading across her features. She knew who she looked like know, she resembled her Father in almost every single way.
Perhaps it was his Mother in him that brought out that side. Kane paused gazing up at Saint Agathesas, Saint Barnathabe had been renamed, because they had recently begun to accept both males and females into there school. But the builder was stupid enough to make it neck to a 'normal' school...
Kanes eyes traveled across the empty play ground not a soul was in sight in either of the playgrounds. As they put it, it was more like battle grounds. They had built the school neck to a park, and a shopping mall. He moved silently up the steps. He could already hear Emma running up to meet him.
"Kane." Emma whispered, her voice was calm, Kane turned his eye towards her. She looked worried about him. Kane was pale, "I'm perfectly fine, its time we get inside don't you think." Emma frowned she hadn't asked that.
"I could tell...by the tone of your voice what you were going to ask me..."Kane continued as he stood in front of the doors.
"I see..." Emma walked in after him as the door went shut. In truth he felt safer with Emma around, and yet he was some how...longed to tell her that she shouldn't that she should go take a day off and relax. He winced slightly the pain in his leg had started acting up again. He could feel it burning.
"Is it your leg- No, no it's fine." Kane lied; he didn't know why...But Emma didn't seem to have taken the hint. "Kane..."
"I'll see you after school Emma..."
"Very well, Kane." She watched him limp down the corridor to his class room, Room 543.
They had arrived early morning; the air was cool and crisp. Not even a heat shimmer revealed there location. Holly stood besides Rose, who was know even taller then she was about twice the height. Holly had been tense the moment that she had left the safety of the shuttle.
Kane let out a sigh, the bell had rung about one minuet ago he had walked to an empty oak tree. The shade of it felt nice against the light breeze, and the sun that loomed above him. He glanced down at his laptop, his life had become boring...He did the same thing every day...it grew tiresome.
"Hey Kid, there you are." Growled Shanks, most kids would have felt fear pulsing through them. Shanks is really, really tall he stood about six foot seven, and he had large gorilla like hands. He had light brown hair and piggish blue eyes. Behind him stood two of his cronies.
Kane was not amused. "What do you want?" Kane replied coldly his eyes scanning them. He was not very happy he could feel the pain in his leg nearly double as he stood up, he flinched slightly.
"Well...what do we want?" Sneered Shanks.
"I believe I already asked you that, know if you have nothing else important to say, I believe that you and your gorillas should move out of my way," Kane replied his voice without any tone. His sapphire blue eyes glittered slightly.
"Well, we just wanted to know how you were doing, but know I believe we changed are minds, right boys." Growled Shanks as he took a step foreword, in an attempt to look threaning.
Kane scowled, "What minds, all there is in your heads is air." And with that Kane knew he was in trouble. And what was worse he couldn't see Emma...That left only one choice. Kane could feel the sparks in his legs, giving it strengths he had only a limited time to lose them. Kane turned and vanished into the woods.
"Hey there he goes."
"Rose...there's another reason why you brought me here isn't there?" Holly questioned as she turned to look at Rose. Who had been waiting for her Mother to ask that questioned? Then suddenly a beeping sound came from the watch on roses arm. "Foaly what is it?" Rose questioned.
"There are humans coming your way, not to mention a couple of rogue fairies."
"At the same time?" Holly questioned, "I thought we were just looking for magical energy- And that's when he appeared. Rose froze, the boy had went crashing into a tree, he let out a gasp of pain as he hit it, he slid to the ground as three bullies walked out of the forest.
Kane could feel his cane dropping to the ground, his breathing came painful, sparks he could feel it shooting out of his skin and healing his bruises. And that's when they stepped through Kane glance up towards them.
"As I remember, your mother died in a fire right, I think they chose well for you Kane," Sneered Shawn, Kane let out a growl as he struggled to stand up. "I heard that she went in to save you, in my opinion you were a waste of time to be saved."
Kane flinched; it actually stung what he said. Kane had never felt anger before, but know he could feel it...Know he could feel his magic building in his hands, anger burned in his eyes, sparks irrupted around him like a flame.
The bullies froze in there steps there eyes widening in horror, Kane felt pure anger burn through him. "You picked a wrong day...to bother me..."Kane whispered his voice was dangerously soft.
Then Shawn swung his fist foreword. Kanes hand flung up and caught his fist. Kane eyes were closed as he dogged him and sent him crashing into the tree. The ground shook as he landed face first. The other bullies came at the same time. Kane opened his eyes they were layered with layers of magic.
"What the hell are you?" He heard one of them scream, as Kane punched him in the stomach and watched as his legs buckled underneath him. Kane turned around to face the other one who was trembling in fear, he took a step backwards.
"Well..."
The bully stared his eyes widened, "you freak- Magic began to spark in Kanes free hand, he raised his hand as he walked over towards the last of them. "Know...you know not to mess with me..." Kane whispered coldly as he sent him sprawling into the nearest tree. The wind whipped around him. Kane could feel his anger disappearing, as he turned and glanced up at the sun. The magic shield around him faded away...
'Is he right...'Kane thought in wonder as he watched them they were all breathing...But either they were unconscious or they were faking. Kane let out a sigh, as he slumped against the nearest oak tree...Why was he so different? What was this power? Kane glanced at his hand. "Hm..."
And then he heard a branch snap. "Whose there." Kane whispered, as he peered around the nearest tree. And he was face to face with...some one who could have been his twin. Kane took a step back clearly startled. She could have been human if it wasn't for her pointed ears. She was wearing a strange suit. Her eyes were the same color of his true blue sapphire eye. And there was the fact she had appeared out of no where.
"Watch out." She shouted slamming him against the ground as a blast came from the trees. It looked a laser; she looked about the same age, and height as him. Her hair was dark raven colored. "Who are you?" Kane whispered as he struggled to stand up.
"Stay down; there are two goblins, over there." She whispered pointing to a spot were nothing stood. "I don't see anything." Kane replied but in truth kept his voice down.
"That's because they stole two suits that keep them invisible." She replied, ignoring his question. Kane could feel the pain in his leg act up again. He cringed, and pulled himself underneath a tree using it as protection.
"You're an elf aren't you?" Kane questioned curiously, the girl turned to look at him, "Half elf."
It was truly amazing, Kane moved as if he had been trained how to use his magic. She knew that this boy was her son almost immidently. For one she could see past the fake eye that held his hazel eye. And more importantly he seemed to have some control over his magic. He seemed confused thought, lost...
"Foaly...is that Kane?" She whispered into her mike as her eyes trailed to the Goblins on the hill.
"hide behind here Mother," Ordered Rose as she moved towards were Kane was standing after he defeated the bullies. He paused for a moment staring at his hand, as if he was wondering were the power had come from.
"Rose..." Holly warned. But Rose ignored her, maybe she knew this was going to happen? Holly thought as Kane turned her attention to the stick rose stepped on, "Whose there?" And to Holly's surprise she unshielded right in front of him.
Kane seemed to have a million questions in his eyes, "Watch out." Lucky for them the Goblins had a very, very bad aim. And they were able to take cover. "That's because they stole two suits that keep them invisible." Kane expression was one of awe, as he cringed. 'What's wrong with him?' Holly thought, as he pulled himself painfully underneath an oak tree, of all trees.
And then his next question surprised holly, "You're an elf aren't you." And even her response surprised holly. But even Holly saw the puzzled look on Roses face as if she to was surprised at the chains of events. He didn't look in the least shocked instead he looked curious.
Chapter Three:
Artemis the third frowned, as his eyes flickered across to his sister, Violet. Kane had been rather distant as of late. Artemis leaned against the chair, he of course knew why if only Father would pay more attention to Kane. Maybe it was because of there Mothers death and of course Kanes twin when they had been younger had changed him. Artemis walked over towards Violet.
There were shelves lined with books, this was the teachers advanced library. Unfortunately it was barely used even by the teachers. Apparently the books were too advanced for there small brains to calculate what most of the words meant.
Violet was typing away with one hand, her hair tucked beneath her ears, her eyes gleamed, "Yes...I know what you want to talk about it, and I agree with you completely brother, Father should defiantly pay more attention to Kane...and another thing we should put more time in are schedule with him." She turned the page and looked up at her elder brother.
Violet and Artemis both had there own separate body guards, Artemis body guards name was unknown other then his last name Butler. Violet knew her bodyguards name, Vexin, it was a strange name. But he took it proudly. Vexin was young and was under training from Butler. Butler had a clean shaven head, and dark almost black eyes.
"About time you two noticed." Vexin mumbled letting out a yawn as he took a long gulp of his hot coffee. Butler frowned, "Vexin..." with a disapproving look on his face. Vexin shrugged it off and turned to look out his window, "And it looks as if he's in trouble." He added.
Artemis closed his book imminently. Violet snapped her laptop shut and rushed over towards the window. Kane was being cornered by three rather large bullies. By the looks of them. "By the looks of things we must go- Come on." Violet growled rushing out the door, "We have to help Kane."
"Where is Emma anyways?" Demanded Violet with a cold look on her face.
Emma, was not happy with her Charge, he had clearly ordered her off of the grounds. But she couldn't help it. She could feel her tattoo buzzing at the edge of her skull. Something was wrong; she could feel her stomach tightening as she drove up the parking lot. The bell had rung singling the end of lunch. And then she saw them standing stone faced and looked none to please with her.
"Remember were not suppose to be here." Vexin replied, "She's probably waiting tell after school somewhere nearby."
"Then why doesn't she aid are brother?" Violet whispered her voice completely calm and void of any and all emotion. When they stepped out side, no one was paying any attention to what they had just witnessed. Artemis stood his suitcase and a book in one arm. "We must find them." Artemis whispered as he took a step foreword and that's when Emma decided to return.
"What is it what happened?" Emma whispered there was worry in her voice, and yet Artemis could see the determination in her eyes as she made her way over towards them. "Wheres Kane?"
"That's what we would like to know." Violet hissed glaring at her, "I thought you were suppose to be the best- Emma ignored her and looked up at the forest, and then she was gone in a flash her crimson red hair flying behind her as she ran straight through the forest.
It had only taken Rose a moment to knock the goblins out cool and regain an upper hand in the situation. The whole time she could see Kane examining everything, she saw something in his eye she didn't expect to see. She saw admiration and respect shinning in them, and curiosity. And there were some suspicion; it was surprising she thought that he had grown up exactly like her Father. At least rumors told her that.
And yet there was something that bothered her. Had her Father told him that his Mother had died in a fire? And his younger sibling when she had gone back for Kane? Why would he do that? It was all but clear that Kane felt the blame for it.
"The situations under control I took out both goblins." Rose mumbled as she stood up Kane watched her for a moment, "I don't suppose you would just let me go know will you?" Kane replied as he stood up, he had the feeling he wouldn't be seeing Fowl manner for a while.
"I'm sorry...Kane...but we must remain a secret." Rose whispered and he could tell that she was truly sorry. He could see it in her eyes. It was confusing the girl that looked so much like him, so much like there Father.
"but you can't...so that book was true the one I found in Fathers room, the book about the people and there rules...I'm beginning to understand that I can't be full human...am I half elf to? Are you my sister?" Kane stared at her, the resemblance was striking it was hard for him to understand did his Father lie to him? "Its true isn't it...all of it..."
Rose stared at him she could feel sympathy for him, both of there parents had lied to them. "Yes...it all is true...Kane..."her voice was soft, and yet he could see the pride in her eyes. Was she proud of him? His own Father had never been outwardly proud of him before.
"Don't worry...your secret is safe with me, I promise." Kane whispered and yet she could hear the pain in his voice as he limped over towards the nearest tree. "But why know do you appear before me why not before...and if you live doses that mean...mother is ..."
Kane could feel joy at he thought of the return on his sister. But did that mean his Father had lied to him for so long? It made sense after all there were no indicators of a fire, "Father lied to me...after all this time?" Kane whispered he could feel anger build up in him, "father..." 'He has betrayed me.' Kane thought he felt as if some one had stabbed him through the heart.
"I've finally found you." Rose whispered, did that mean that she had been searching for them all this time?
Kane could feel joy in his eyes;. And then he felt something hit him in the back. "What are you doing- He could hear anger in rose's voice, "Why did you hit him with a tran- And then he lost consciousness...
Rose could feel anger grow through her, as she glared at the caption of the LEPrecon. He had been newly appointed. "Because of what you did, we know have a danger to the people, Rose." He spoke to her as if she was some sort of Goblin of some kind.
"That's no reason to speak to my daughter like that, and I doubt that he alone is a threat to the people." Holly replied her voice calm as she walked over towards him, looking worried as she glanced down at Kane. The lens on his eye had fallen out reveling his hazel eye, his hair; she could see a small strand of dark brown under the black dye.
"Come on we have to leave." Urged the officer, as he disappeared, so did Holly, and Rose reluctantly. They began to make there way back to the shuttle port. Holly couldn't leave her eyes off of Kane. He looked completely innocent his breathing came normal. Holly could feel a small smile tugging at her lips.
"How I've waited...to see you..."She whispered as she pulled a strand of hair out of his face as he was carried down towards the shuttle.
Kane hadn't been named as of yet when she held him in his arms, he had dark brown hair one blue eye and one hazel, he looked up at her with bright happy eyes. She remembered them. They looked so bright, and she remembered seeing his future then. She had felt so happy then...but that had all been taken away when Artemis had changed over night. Apparently back to what he once was before. And yet not for the first time, she began to wonder why...
He had acted that way.
Commander Root was not happy; Rose had acted on her own. She had to have known something. It couldn't have all been fate. She had to have known that her Brother would appear then. But the again it was only natural that Rose feel as if she should find her family. The other part of her family.
Commander Root stared down at Rose, who met his eyes head on. She looked happier t hen he had seen her in months. Commander Root let out a sigh, " I'm thinking of a suitable punishment for you...the council have voted on and have discussed it."
Roses expression hardened.
"They have decided that you and your mother must make sure that Kane wont go and talk about us to anyone, sense he is half fairy, we cannot erase his memories as it is against are law."
Rose eyes gleamed.
"But of course, his Father and his siblings not to mention his bodyguard will notice that he is missing...Thus he will have to make a call to them to tell them that he is safe..."Commander Root replied, "he can make up a valid excuse or something."
"Right Commander."
Kane was not happy...They had locked him in a room; his hands were tied to a desk. He could have been in any police room in the world. He glanced at the hand cuffs who had ever design theses were a genius. And yet he found his mind wavering away from the Coffs.
Had he fallen for the oldest trick in the book? Rose had gained his trust. And yet she had seemed sincere when she had told him. She had seemed just as curious as he had been; just as lost...Kane shivered her eyes were a fierce blue like his brothers and sisters. Only he had inherited his Mothers hazel eye. In truth he had always liked them better...but his Father had always made him wear contacts.
He was tired of them, tired of the lies...He wanted the truth...Kane could feel determination growing in his eyes as he leaned against the wall he could feel silence grip him. Why had they knocked him out with a tranquilizer dart? Rose had been angry, but why would they do that?
Perhaps he was a prisoner here...Kane rubbed the back of his neck were the dart had hit him. Kane felt a spark of his magic irrupt from his hand and the pain disappeared. He had to save his magic but perhaps on impulse it had healed it. He had to learn why he was taken here...but more importantly he had to know...
Was his mother alive? Then why! Why had his Father lie to him? Kane felt anger surge through him not for the first time in these past few weeks...His Father had betrayed him, he had felt as if his Father had stabbed him several times, and had left him to bleed to death. Why had he lied? Why? The question ran through his brain over and over again...Then again his Mother was an elf, not a human...would he have believed him?
Yes...Kane had been using magic for years, even as a young child he had known to keep his secret a secret. He had inherited his magic at six years old from then on his life had become some what difficult...
He had always imagined how his Mother would be like. In personality and appearance, he knew that she was beautiful, he knew that she was kind and strong...He remembered a fuzzy image of a face, he remembered her hazel eyes...Kane stared at the floor for along time thinking...Why? Was he brought here...?
He heard the door open slowly...A bright light filled the room; Kane turned his eyes to the figure that stepped into the room. It was a figure of an elf, she stood about five foot two, and then she stepped inside. Kane could feel his heart pounding could this elf be his Mother? She had auburn red hair, nut brown skin and hazel eyes.
She had kind eyes, Kane stared at her for along time, she seemed worry about something he could see the guilt in her eyes as she paused merely feet away from him. Why had she left his Father? Could she have felt as if she had made a mistake by marrying his Father...by having his children? Did she hate him...Kane felt his stomach turn as his eyes fell to the ground in front of him, he found that he couldn't meet her gaze any longer. There was something fierce about it.
"Kane..."She whispered, she didn't question it. She knew that he was her son. She paused for a moment. He could feel his heart pounding; he couldn't concentrate on anything but the floor in front of him. Why had she left? Had his Father hurt her in anyway? Was that her reason for leaving? Was it his Father...?
He knew he should say something, but for once no words would come. His voice felt dry, and scratchy. Kane stiffened what could he say? He had to say something he had too...And yet, the only thing he thought of was why? "Why...why did you leave...are you really my Mother?" Kane knew he sounded weak, and yet he could feel his emotions rise to the surface. Fowls were suppose to be calm and collected not trembling, and...well...he felt like a normal kid for once.
Was he pathetic?
"Kane..."
"Did he hurt you...? My Father." Kanes voice trembled as his eyes fell to Holly, she clearly had moved on. She looked as if she had been pregnant for at least nine months.
"In a way Kane, but he would never hurt me like that...Kane...I don't really understand it myself...he got angry for some reason, he yelled at me, and told me that no full elf had permission to enter...and of course he did threaten my people..."
"I see." Kanes voice was cold and hard. His Father had taken his Mother away from him, "So my Father lied to me..." Kanes voice was bitter and hard, he could feel anger pulse through him. His magic was building up in his palms.
Holly froze, "Kane...you shouldn't be mad at your father-You don't understand what its like." Kane snapped glaring at her, "Father made it sound as if the reason why you 'died,' was that you saved my life, and attempted to save my sister...almost ever day of my life I blamed my self for your death." Kane whispered his voice hardening, "He made it seem as if I killed you."
Holly was shocked, stunned...Had Artemis really done that? Kanes expression was shocking, he looked beyond angry, he looked furious; he looked as if he wanted to fight his father and more...he looked upset. He buried his hands in his face, he didn't cry but he pulled himself away from her. 'She's just like every other mother in the world, abandoning there children, when they don't feel like taking care of them anymore...' Kane thought. "Leave me alone." Kane growled.
Holly paused, Kane was angry she knew that naturally he would be but she was also surprised. She had thought that Artemis would have molded him into being, well...like him. But he was different; he was more like her then anyone else.
She let out a sigh, and knew that Kanes wish was justified, with that she turned and walked slowly over towards the door. She paused for a moment, and she heard a sigh from Kane.
"Is your name even Holly?"
"Yes...Holly Short."
Kane didn't respond as she exist the room. It was for her own good that she left. When he got angry things tended to get out of control. Kane needed to think, he needed to clear his mind...Which was not going to be easy...
Holly let out a long sigh as she stood outside of the room. He probably thought she was horrible, and she was pregnant as well. She probably thought that she had abandoned him or something. She had never had wanted to do that. Holly sighed...
