Artemis Fowl and the Spell of Change
Chapter 3: Going Back to Fowl Manor
Holly had now decided that it was time to take Artemis back, however, there was one problem... Root. Root had decided that anyone who wanted a trip to the surface in a two hundred mile radius of Fowl Manor needed special permission to do so. This meant trouble. There were two options, leave early in the evening, before anyone made it to the plaza, or tell everything flat out. They decided the first choice would work best, what was worse was that Artemis was starting to forget things a little quicker...
...
"After tonight, you'll be home, Artemis.", Holly stated, "With your Mom at Fowl Manor.",
"Where's that?", Artemis truly did ask.
"Um... Okay, you're just going home, got it?", Holly tried again.
"But, Holly, I thought I was supposed to stay with you until...", Holly interrupted that sentence.
"It's been cut short do to.... Some complications.", She said.
"Well? We ready to head to the surface?", Foaly asked.
"Sure!", Holly stated.
"You'll have to fly some distance to get to the manor itself, but, you should be there just as the work hour rush sets in.", he stated, "But, you have to stay there until you manage to find the source of the spell, and, find it's reversal.",
"You ready to go Artemis?", Holly asked.
"Why are you calling me that, you know my real name's Winter.", Artemis stated.
"I knew you'd make it worse...", Foaly told Holly, "You gave him another identity that his mind's going to accept as his as he forgets who he was....",
"Oh boy.", Holly groaned, "Let's just get this over with.",
"You'll have go ahead just as soon as the chute is.", Foaly explained.
"Got it.", Holly stated firmly.
She quickly got both her, and Artemis seated, and ready, before she waited for the signal. "All right, one coming up in ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, drop...", Foaly stated, Holly obeyed, allowing the shuttle to drop into the chute, a couple seconds of drop, and they were boasted up by the hot flaring magma. Before long, Holly had landed next to some hay stack, inside a fake barn. "Okay, we're going to pay a little visit to Butler, and Juliet.", Holly stated.
"Um....", Artemis started.
"I know, you don't know who those people are.", Holly rolled her eyes.
Artemis just nodded, sweetly.
