Disclaimer: Artemis Fowl belongs to me. All of it. Yeah, that's right. I DO own it. I wish.

Yay!! I have a beta reader!!! Woo! Thanx to Spawn of evil for betaing this!

Roxanne: a mary sue is like an original character who's stunningly pretty, just perfect, etc who all the male characters fall in love with. OOC = out of character eg bob the builder getting out a machine gun and killing wendy would be totally OOC.

Spawn: It never actually says in the books that Artemis Fowl is atheist. For all we know he could be a Jehovah's Witness or Sikh or something. He says 'oh gods' because that's what some goblin in AI says so in my story he's just converted to faerie religion.

Rosetta woke with a start. She sat up and found that it was late afternoon and she was covered with sweat. Looking around, she saw that she was in bed. Was it all a very bad dream then? She certainly hoped so. What on earth had got into her head? Trying to escape on a horse?

Suddenly, she realised that practically all of the Fowl household were sitting in her room. Angeline, Mr Fowl, Domovoi and Juliet were all staring at her with the same expression. In the dim half-light it looked between amazement, confusion and particularly for Mr and Mrs Fowl, hurt. What followed was a long silence, which was one of those silences where no one could find anything to say. Angeline Fowl broke the silence.

"Cassandra, you're awake!" she crooned. "We've been so worried! What were you riding Holly for anyway? I - we all thought you couldn't ride!"

So it had not been a dream. She had tried to escape from Fowl Manor. Rosetta broke out in a cold sweat. During her unconsciousness she had dreamt of her father again, urging her not to give up, to go on, to avenge him. What if she had voiced her thoughts out loud? The Fowls would know that she had lied to them. And where was Artemis? He was smarter than most. What if he already knew? That would be bad. Real bad.

"I'm fine," Rosetta mumbled. "I would like to be alone for a while, please."

The Fowls granted this request immediately. They rose up and left the room quietly but Rosetta could almost see the questions in their minds. So she had revealed something in her sleep - a very crucial something.

Just then there was a light knock on the door.

"Who is it?" she asked.

"Artemis."

"Come in."

Artemis Fowl II entered the room. He wanted to talk to Cassandra - no, Rosetta. There were a lot of questions that needed answering.

"How are you doing Cassandra?" He decided not to reveal the fact that he knew her real identity.

"Recovering. Artemis, I need to ask you something. In my sleep, did I say anything?"

He paused for a second, and decided to tell the truth.

"Yes. You talked about your father - and - getting revenge on me. Cassandra, or should I say - Rosetta, why didn't you tell us your father was Jon Spiro?"

So he knew. And that meant that the rest of the family plus the Butlers knew as well.

"Y-you ruined him! You put him out of business! You've heard on the news, how many people did you put in prison? How many people did you send into unemployment? You don't even care! You are just a greedy, gold-hungry creep who has no human feelings whatsoever! How could I have told you? You would have turned me in to the authorities or something, knowing you!"

Usually Artemis Fowl didn't care what people called him, or what people thought of him. But today was different. Her comments and insults actually hurt him, deep down. He did have feelings. He was not just greedy for gold.

"I did what the Chicago PD should have done years ago. A greedy gold-hungry creep with no feelings am I? Well you certainly are one to talk. No one was greedier than your father. His businesses ruined far more people than I ever will - even if I wanted to. And for your information, I sent the 2.8 billion I found in your father's various accounts to Amnesty International!" and with that he stormed out of the room.

Rosetta knew then she had been in the wrong. She couldn't have known that he sent the money to Amnesty International. But ignorance was no excuse for her actions. She would have to do something she had only ever done once in her life before - apologise. The last time she had said "sorry" was when she was in California. She tried to trick her best friend. She realised that she really was wrong, and that she was actually sorry. They had made up, and by the next day were best mates again. She got out of bed and dressed, then headed for the study where Artemis was bound to be.

Rosetta took a deep breath and went in.

How was it? I know, it was kinda cliffhanger-ish at the end there! Please r/r!
