Hey ya'll. I re-uploaded the first 2 chapters so it should be easier to
read. And sorry about this chappie- but this is the way it has to be. It
may be one or two before I go back to Holly and Trouble. *grins sheepishly*
I hate cliffies myself, but even I'm not sure how she's going to answer
yet. Thanks to: Mage Kitty, becca8, Kelsey (Root is afraid of Holly because
she's mad at him for telling her she had to wear a dress when she really
didn't. hope that clears it up a little), alex472, radioactive bubblegum,
and Dragoness Fighter. And I've officially got my first death threat!!! You
must understand; I'm thrilled. Anyway, you guys will probably hate me for
this, but I've suffered worse.
Disclaimer: you guys know that I own anything you don't recognize, but I thought I should just put this up anyway. Plot is mine though. I'm working hard to think of an original one.
Early Friday morning: Howler's Peak: Cell 397521
Opal Koboi was mad. All the guards knew it; they saw her every day on the security cameras. Sometimes she would rock back and forth, or sit and stare at the wall, or talk to herself. Every now and then in her sleep, she would attack her pillows and strangle her blankets singing a song in her high- pitched screech that she made up:
"I'll eat grub, burn mulch, destroy roots, petunias and willows,
Hurt all the hunters, steal some trouble, and make a long dead row of my own!"
The first time that had happened, the guard on duty was scared so badly that he needed to take a whole week to calm down. The guards were almost used to it now, but some still got the oddest tingle down their spines. But there wasn't a chance that the song meant anything, because she was Crazy Koboi. It couldn't be a death threat. And certainly not a subtly revealed plan for revenge. Everyone hated her too much to care, anyway. Most of the other prisoners were willing to risk almost any punishment to harass her. It was all the funnier because she laughed along with those that made fun of her. There was no doubt that she was nutty.
Actually, Opal was quite sane- but definitely mad at a few people. Especially Artemis Fowl, Julius Root, Foaly, and Holly Short. Well, she didn't hate Foaly as much anymore. How could she after he inspired her escape plan? She really did have him to thank. He had shut down the power long enough for her to fiddle with the cameras so there was an irreplaceable video loop. It showed her acting just like all the other wacko criminals they had here. And they had a lot of them, something they never let the public know. What she really was doing at the moment was waiting for a dwarf to show up from the floor of her cell. She didn't wait much longer; Mulch Diggums popped his head through a newly created hole in the floor. Behind him were several trained assassins that she had him round up. Opal grinned mischievously. She had just decided on her first target. And her plot for revenge would begin this evening.
