other thing, REVIEW!!!!

Chapter three: Explanations

Lower elements, The people's hospital

Searing pain flowed through her body. She was on fire.
She was going to melt... melt to death... and then she blacked out.

"Holly! Goddammit, Holly wake up"
"Oh my god, is she ok?"
"What's wrong with her back?"
"She took a serious blast, she's lucky to be alive."

Voices floated through her head. She moaned and rolled to one
side and went back to the darkness... back to darkness...

Holly woke up. The pain was no longer there. She got up,
but the pain came swarming back, so she went back to lying down.

"You're awake. Good." A familiar voice made her shiver.
The voice was that of commander Root. "We thought that you were
going to die. You took a turn for the worse." Root paused to
take a glance at Holly. He had been facing a wall. He then
turned to face her "Everybody missed you. They send their regards.

Holly looked at her night table to find mounds of candy and
gifts. 'Wow, that's great', she thought. She thought about the LEP
and all of the things she might be missing.

"We caught one of the hooded figures. Apparantly, they
cannot be killed by bullets, but one of them was tackled by Trouble."

'Good old trouble', she thought.

"He's being interrogated right now. We havn't made
any progress, unfortunately."

"Can you take me to him?" Asked Holly. She so dearly
wanted to spit on the scum. She went cold thinking about him.

"Yes, I guess it can be arranged. NURSE!!!!" He yelled.
The pretty young blonde came rushing in. Root exchanged quiet words
with her. "Holly, can you manage to get up a bit?" Asked Root. Holly
nodded and got into a sitting position on the side of her bed.

"Get in the wheelchair please." Said the Blonde Nurse,
while pulling out a capsule the size of a soda bottle. As Holly
got up, the nurse took the contents out of the capsule, and a
wheel chair was soon formed. Holly noticed that it said, Foaly's
Idea 456. Holly smiled. 'Good old Foaly' She thought. As she was
wheeled down the hall, the Nurse talked to her.

"You won't believe how worried all your friends were about
you. They all wanted to visit, but only your commander could
visit. Hospital policy, ya know?"

Holly gritted her teeth. All of this talking was giving her
a headache. Suddenly, they took a sharp right hand turn and went
into a darkly lit room. Holly noticed that there was a barred cell
near her.

"For prisoners needing attention, ya know? Well, se ya later!"
Said the energetic nurse. Holly saw a robed figure sitting on a cot.
His robe was covering his appearances.

"What do you want? If you're trying to get information out of
me, too bad. You won't succeed." said the man, in a deep raspy voice.

Holly was taken aback. She didn't want information from him,
just to talk. "You and you're friends nearly killed me. I'm on
the verge of death." She said. She knew it was a lie. She wasn't dying,
just in pain. "I could have been dead! At the ripe age of 89!!!" She
spat. The man smiled.

"One less LEP scum to deal with. You should have died, you
bitch!" He shouted.

Holly got up, a sudden surge of anger flowed through her body.
She ignored the pain and went close up to the bars. The man got up, too
and smiled. Too bad she couldn't tell, thanks to his robe.

"Great. Just what I wanted." He said, his eyes ablaze with anger.

"If you think-" Holly started. She was interrupted by a hand closing
around her throat, lifting her higher and higher. Just at that moment,
Root "just happened to be passing by" when he noticed this scene. He ran
in and grabbed the man's arm just in time.

"Freeze! You sonnavabitch! Haven't you done enough damage?"
yelled Commander Root. "I'm going to have your ass killed on THE HILL!"
He bellowed.

SIX MONTHS LATER, LOWER ELEMENTS, THE HILL

Holly had fully recovered. She even was better than ever, really.
The scum that had nearly killed her twice was subject to torture and death.
Holly smiled and watched as he was electrocuted. He was still alive. Good
for the croud who was watching.

"Stab him!", "Cut him to ribbons!" and other demands were shouted.
They spit at him and cursed him.

'So this is death. I deserve this shit' thought the man. So far,
noone had unrobed him. 'Good'.

As if someone had read his mind, the executioner came over and unrobed
him. His dissapeared with a "POOF" and a "BANG" and that was that.





THE FOWL ESTATE, 12:38 PM

"Butler, pass me the drill and screws." Demanded Artemis. Butler
did so and sighed. Artemis had been working on a new invention. Once again.
It happened to be a computer gun, and it was almost done.

"You know, this is going pretty well. My new invention should be ready soon
and then we can rest." said Artemis. The effects of night were taking over him.
He did his work without thinking. He could have made a serious mistake. And he did.

"Artemis, get into bed right now!" said Mrs. Fowl. She was anxious because
the Mr. and her were going to "do the laundry" WINK WINK. They were going to make
love, and Artemis was preventing them from doing it. She was desparate for loving.

"In a minute mom." said Artemis, once again without thinking. He screwed on
the metal casing and it was complete. "I'll be right there." Artemis turned on the
charger. Computers can't run without electricity, you know.

Artemis walked up the stairs, accompanied by Butler. He went into his room, as
Butler checked under his bed, in his bathroom and in his closet. Just as usual, noone was
there. Butler left, and Artemis went to bed. Before he could doze off, he heard the walls
shaking and the voices of his parents.

"OH, Timmy yes, yes, yes..."
