Okay, here's the next chapter. I hope that you guys like it. Senara is my own OC; though she only comes up once so far, and is not a very important character. I own nothing else, aside from the plot.
Holly awoke to her door being slammed open. She was hauled to her feet by her arm, unchained, and dragged from the room.
"Time for your first torture session," said an officer cheerfully.
"My first with you," came her cold rely. "My sixtieth at the very least."
She was rewarded for her troubles with a heavy blow to the head. She held back any sound of pain, but her vision went black. Holly was dragged into a well lit, white room. That was where the niceties ended. On the wall there were strong restraints. She was lifted up, and her arms, wrists, legs, ankles, torso, and head were restrained. Her eyes scanned the room, taking in the half dozen GESF with various ranks. There were three captains, two majors, and the commander himself. Also, there were three elven warlocks, and a sorceress.
"Okay Disasteress," exclaimed the sorceress. "That big ugly Gnome over there is going to ask you some questions, and you're going to answer them, or these petty little warlocks and I are going to have to hurt you. You don't want little Senara to go off and do that would you? No, you probably don't. I'm not quite as powerful as No1, but I'm pretty close."
By the end, she sounded as if she was talking to a three year old. A fairy three year old. Holly glared at her in disgust, and spat in her upturned face.
Senara screamed. "You do that again you little whelp, and by the time I'm through with you, you won't even be able to speak English."
The 'big ugly Gnome' turned to Holly "Alright Gunner, cut it out. Now tell me, where's the Gunner base?"
Holly paused, considering it. "Five Caverns. That's their base. It got blown up twenty years ago, but they might still be there."
He turned to the majors. "Grab all the GESF, retrieval, and recon that you can find. Take them to Five Caverns, and take down the Gunners. If she's lying, we can deal with that once we get to it." He looked back at her again. "We'll let you down and get you some food and water back in your cell once we know that you're telling the truth."
All the fairies left the room, leaving Holly to hang on the wall. The miserable fairy attempted to sleep, even though the bonds cut into her skin.
She woke up to find a lot of people yelling at her.
"They weren't there," yelled the commander. "They haven't been there for a long time. You lied."
"I didn't," she exclaimed, distressed. "That is where the base used to be. Recently, I have been knocked unconscious when I was taken there and back. Please, I didn't lie."
Soon the torture began. She could feel her magical abilities being drained. They took her magic, only a little bit at a time.
Finally, a few weeks later, they had the information that they wanted, and she was ready to be transferred to the special cell.
Artemis closed his eyes and counted to ten; a trick Butler had taught him to help him stay calm. He was in the middle of an important business meeting in Manhattan, and his cell phone had just rung. He pulled it out, and opened it.
"Artemis Fowl the 2nd speaking,"
"Artemis," said Foaly. "They're getting ready to move Holly."
"When," he gasped.
"They're moving her in a week. They told Trouble, but he didn't tell anyone else. I only learned because I have been monitoring the GESF phone calls."
"Alright, I'll be there with Butler and Juliet as soon as possible. See you then."
He then hung up. Finally, they could get Holly back. He could tell her that he was sorry. It had been almost three months since she had been convicted.
Artemis stood up, "My sincere apologies, Gentlemen, but I just received a very important phone call, and must leave immediately." Then to his bodyguard he exclaimed, "Come Butler, there is an emergency, and we must leave quickly."
Once in the Bentley, Butler asked, "What's happening Artemis? Where are we going?"
"Holly's being relocated," her replied. "She'll be moved in a week. There is an unmonitored tunnel where we can enter the Lower Elements in Central Park. I'll call Doodah, and have him pick us up."
As Butler skillfully navigated his way toward Central Park, Artemis called Doodah. Doodah agreed to pick up Artemis, Butler, and Juliet. Then, Artemis called Juliet, and explained the situation to her. When Artemis finally terminated the call, his ear was ringing from her happy cries.
The two sat in silence for a while. Finally, Artemis broke the noiselessness.
"Butler," he said softly. "I'm worried about Holly. All I can think about is the pain and terror in her eyes when the GESF stepped forward to claim her. What could they have done to her in three months time?"
Butler turned to look at his young principle. "She'll be O.K. Artemis. It's Holly that we're talking about. They couldn't have gotten very far in three months. And if she is hurt, well, we've got No1 on our side. She wouldn't remain hurt for very long."
Then they arrived at the tunnel. They ensured that no one was looking, and then entered. Fifteen minutes later, Doodah arrived.
As they entered, Mulch, who was in the back, cheerfully exclaimed, "Illegal is always faster."
They headed to Cancun to pick up Juliet. She was happily bouncing up and down at the pickup spot. She was inside, braid swinging, before the shuttle even had time to stop.
"Alright," she exclaimed, eager for some action. "Let's go rescue an elf."
Don't worry people, they will succeed, with a few problems, but the plan succeeds. Review people,
