Artemis Fowl and the Spell of Change
Chapter 2: Foaly Finds Out
Even with Holly gone, Artemis refused to stay put this whole time without thinking about one plan or another... He had already searched the apartment up, and down, several times. Then, he mentally decided it wouldn't be leaving if he just stepped out of the doorway to get some fresh air... But as always, one thing lead to another, and he soon ended up far from where he had started... Not to mention, he didn't know how to get back. 'How do I get myself in these situations?', Artemis thought to himself as he tried just going the other direction.
Artemis was lucky today, it just so happened that Foaly was on his way to the Police Plaza at the time of the young Fowl's distress. "Hey, aren't you Holly's cousin?", Foaly stated, scooping up Artemis.
Luckily, those theater lessons that his Mom was making him take were worth the embarrassments he'd been going through. "Yes.", Artemis stated, making himself sound the correct age for someone like himself.
"You should be either at Holly's place, or with Holly.", Foaly looked down at Artemis carefully.
"I- I...", in the process of thinking of some excuse, Artemis forgot his little acting, and well...
"Wait a second... You sound like...", Foaly glared at him carefully, "You are, but... But, you can't.",
"...", Artemis remained silent.
"That's it, your coming with me to see Holly!", Foaly stated.
"No, wait, please don't!", Artemis argued.
"Oh, I am.", Foaly stated, determined to get there with the kicking, and yelling bundle.
So, he headed to the Plaza... "Root, I brought..", Foaly was interrupted.
"Winter, I'll get Holly right now, her shift just ended.", Root stated, going off to get Holly.
"No, sir, you don't seem to understand, this is-", Foaly was interrupted by Holly.
"Oh, Winter... I thought I told you to stay in the apartment, you're not used to the city....", Holly stated, putting on a fake smile.
"But- He's.", Holly now grabbed Foaly firmly by the ear, and dragged him out, while carrying Artemis in one arm, and a scowl on her face.
...
Once inside her apartment, Holly dropped Artemis on the couch, and let go of Foaly's ear. "DO YOU KNOW WHO HE IS?!", Foaly yelled out.
"Well, yes, and I thought I told him to stay inside the apartment.", Holly stated.
"Well then why did you?", Foaly asked.
"Because he needed help, and you know they wouldn't have healed him if I had said it was Artemis.", She gestured at him, "I'm planning on getting him back to Butler as soon as I...",
"Who's he?", Artemis stated.
"Your man- servant.", Holly stated.
"I don't have one..." Artemis stated.
"What spell did you use?", Foaly asked.
"Human one, from the middle ages...", Artemis replied.
Foaly smacked his head, "Human spells always have a price...", he continued, "This one is making you forget, Artemis.",
"Forget what?", Artemis stated.
"Your friends, maybe family, maybe even worse, that you were ever human.", Foaly explained.
"How do you know all this?", Holly asked.
"I've studied human magic for a little while.", Foaly stated.
"So we have to hurry to get him there, and reverse it.", Holly stated.
"Yup.", Foaly stated.
