Chapter 12

"We need to find the main computer room on this base," Brian informed Aidan as they walked through the halls.

"Why?" Aidan asked as she tripped over a chair that was lying on the ground. "My god this place is a mess."

"What did you expect?" asked Brian. "There is a war going on."

Though Aidan didn't notice Brian has purposely avoided the question. Brian didn't want to tell her, because Aidan really did have a big mouth.

A light suddenly caught Aidan's eyes. She looked in the direction of the light; it seemed to be coming from a room with an open door.

She walked towards it, and found a huge computer database full of shining computers and machines.

"Let's see," said Foaly in Holly's earpiece. "I'm an annoying little Fowl child, were would I be..."

Holly smiled. Foaly could make jokes at almost the worst times.

Holly was about to reply when Trouble tapped on her shoulder. "Look," he said, pointing.

Holly followed the direction of his finger and smiled. In the computer database (Foaly's favorite room in the few times that he comes aboveground) sat a young human girl, light shimmering off her black hair.

"I think we found one of the troublemakers," whispered Holly into her microphone.

Aidan kneeled by the largest computer. "Whoa," was all that she was able to get out.

"Hey Br-" suddenly a hand clamped over her mouth and another set locked her hands behind her back. As an immediate reflex, she kicked out, hitting what she assumed to be a faerie shoulder. She bit down hard on the hand that was over her mouth, hearing a male curse.

"Holly! She bit me! What is wrong with her?! Artemis never would have bit any of us!"

As soon as the hand was gone from Aidan's mouth she screamed as loud as she could possibly scream, causing another hand (this one softer) to cover her mouth again. This happened right before a sharp pain went through her forearm.

Brian leaned against a wall in a hallway near the computer database, but not so near that they LEP would be able to find him.

He had heard Aidan scream, but it did not worry him and he did not come to her aid. These LEP people seemed to righteous to actually hurt her anyway. Besides, he had plans to fulfill.

He flashed his vampire smile that was so much like his father's.
