A/N: FF.net went AWOL earlier, so I didn't get to post chapter 5 when I wanted to. But, alls well that ends well. So, here is chapter 6 for your reading enjoyment! ;) I think chapter 7 will be kind of funny.

Fowl Manor, Ireland

            She was prepared for anything. Her Neutrino 2003 was at her side, loaded with tranquilizer darts. If all else failed, she would put him under the mesmer and take him to LEP headquarters. She also had a spare communicator in case Artemis insisted on talking to Foaly or Root. She had gotten in through an upstairs window left open by Artemis's father. She shielded herself and floated right through while the family ate breakfast on a lower floor. No one would even know, and under the previous invitation conditions, she could enter his house. The mission was straight forward. Deliver the message to Artemis in any possible way, and restore his memories.

            Sitting on top of a high bookshelf, shielded, Holly heard the creak of the solid Cherry door as Artemis entered, followed by Butler. Artemis looked the same as he had several months ago, when Holly had secretly visited him. His dark hair was still wet from his shower and was neatly combed. A yellow Armani tie was draped around his neck but not tied, and the buttons on his long sleeved blue Armani dress shirt stood open, revealing the white undershirt he was wearing. His khaki pants were pressed perfectly and were belted with a dark brown Prada leather belt. He was barefoot. Holly's heart pounded in her throat as Artemis flipped open the Dell laptop, pressing the "on" button. "You may leave me now… and make sure no one tries to come in. Especially Juliet. I want to be left alone," Artemis said to Butler, a touch of frustration in his voice. "Of course, Artemis," Butler said, locking the door on his way out.

            Holly could clearly see the computer screen from her spot on the bookcase, and she held her breath as she saw the Windows XP Professional start up screen. Artemis logged on to his account, unknowingly beginning Foaly's self extracting file. As it loaded, Artemis looked behind him, feeling that he was being watched or that someone else was in the room. He turned back around and saw that his computer screen had turned a soft shade of blue and words had begun to appear on the screen.

Artemis Fowl...

You have memories you can't explain.

Dreams that must have been real.

I can explain it all to you.

            Artemis sucked in a breath sharply and again looked around the room to see if he was being watched. His eyes paused briefly on the spot where Holly sat shielded, but then he continued to scan the entire perimeter of the room before returning his eyes to the computer screen. He clicked the "Next" button that had appeared on the screen and more words appeared.

The Prophecies of Ohm

One shall come among us.

Fowl by name and foul by nature.

A mud man unlike any other.

He shall learn our secrets.

            Frowning in thought, Artemis clicked the "Next" button. Several of his digital pictures of The Booke appeared as a slide show. "I know this…" Artemis whispered, startling Holly so badly that she nearly fell off the bookcase. After the slide show, a directory of files appeared and the first file was highlighted. "Artemis Fowl's diary, disk 1 (confiscated and classified)" appeared before him. His heart pounded so loudly that he could no longer hear anything else. Too anxious to actually read the files, he opened them and read all of the titles. "Translation of The Booke," "Information on the People," and more diary entries made up the last of the ten files. By the end of this, Artemis was shaking rather badly. Holly had never seen this mud man lose his composure, but it was about to happen. Artemis clicked "Next" and revealed a recording of his memory of Holly shooting a hole in the center of a fairy coin. When the memory stopped playing, Artemis stood up slowly and walked to a bookshelf on the opposite side of the room from where Holly was sitting. He stood at the shelf for a few seconds before reaching out and grabbing a hardback copy of The Golden Book of Fairy Tales. The fairy coin fell out into his hand.

            Grasping the coin in his left hand, he ripped the tie from his neck and threw it down on the desk, sitting down in front of the computer once again. It was unlike him to become so upset, but he was so close to finding out the answers to all of his questions. He clicked "Next" again. The computer then showed him being prepared for a mind wipe and handing the disc to Mulch. The clip zoomed in, showing that the medallion was actually a small laser disc. Artemis gripped the table, his face pale and skin clammy. Holly was wringing her hands as the video recording of her message appeared on the screen. Before her onscreen self could even begin to speak, Artemis gasped and whispered, "Holly!" His eyes immediately rolled into the back of his head and his body slumped sideways, causing him to slowly fall from his chair and end up sprawled out on the Oriental rug.

            Holly unshielded herself and floated slowly to the ground with the aide of the new "assisted free fall" feature on the set of wings that Foaly had designed for the LEP. "Hey Foaly, you there?" she whispered. "Of course… watching my genius at work in that file has been enlightening. They should pay me more," his voice replied bitterly. "Well, what next?" she asked, ignoring his comments. "We wait. It shouldn't be longer than fifteen minutes, but it could take a week." "A week?!" Holly said, outraged. "Sorry sister. That's life," Foaly said.
