The Grounds of Fowl Manor, Ireland
For the first time in months Holly felt tranquil. She was flying over the picturesque Irish countryside. Fresh, powdery snow blanketed the rolling hills and there was a crisp clean feeling to the cold December air. Holly smiled happily to herself. To her, it really was a shame that hardly any fairies got to enjoy the scenery as she was doing, but, then again, she really wasn't supposed to be enjoying herself.
She was there to kick Fowl's ass, as Commander Root had put it, if the need rose. And she had a feeling that the occasion would call for it. And fairy intuition was never wrong.
Personally, Holly, although she would never admit to it, liked the idea that Fowl was back. To her it represented new adventures and things to do, places to go, and butts to kick. Some of the things she loved to do no matter whom it was with. But, the fact that he had threatened the People kept nagging at the back of her mind and made her switch into a less sympathetic mode. More of a you're-going-to-die mode.
With these thoughts, Holly's mood only worsened. Not only could the Council find out about Fowl and his newly regained memories and put her out of a job but she would have to listen to that evil little mud-twerp as he gloated about how he tricked the mind-wiping system and how clever he was compared to Foaly. And there was nothing more that Holly hated than self- centered brats. Well, except for Lili Frond. God did she hate that pixie. She was so full of herself, so technically she is a self-centered brat. But on with the story.
Soon, Fowl Manor loomed in the distance, looking as grand as ever. No matter how much she may dislike Artemis, she had to admit that his manor was absolutely gorgeous. It was so majestic the way it was nestled into the Irish landscape with beautiful greenery all around.
Holly flew up to the manor and made a perfect landing on the front doorstep. She silently took off her wings and stowed them in a nearby bush.
"Foaly, how many people are in the manor?" she whispered into her helmet mike. She didn't need to be walking in on a grand party the Fowl's were hosting and getting the People discovered today, or any other day for that matter.
"Let's see. Just Fowl and the Butlers." He said smoothly as Holly turned off her helmet. She just wasn't in the mood to have Foaly talking in her ear about Frond knows what while she was trying to talk to Artemis.
Holly opened the door quietly, not really caring if anyone saw her. If she knew Artemis than he would be expecting her.
And indeed he was. Artemis was sitting on a leather chair in what the humans would call a great room, which was directly in front of the entry hall where Holly was currently located. Artemis had changed a lot over the past three years. He was taller, approximately five foot six. His dark, raven locks were short but they dangled in front of his face in a Johnny Depp (A/N~ Hottie!) sort of way. Apparently he had been working out or something because he went from thin and gangly to lean and muscular, but not too muscular so that he locked like Butler. And to top it all off he had somehow managed to get paler, if that was possible.
Artemis was staring directly at her even though she was shielded. Holly really didn't like being stared at, it made her nervous and very self conscious, and Holly wasn't very accustomed to being self-conscious. Exhibit A; her appearance. She had let her hair grow out so that her long auburn locks were half way down her back but she had it in a loose, unflattering ponytail, but it wasn't like she wanted her hair to flatter her. She was wearing her LEP jumpsuit and all of this would have made her look very plain if it wasn't for her natural stunning good looks.
"Hello, Captain Short. Please unsheild. I was expecting you." He said, surprisingly in a friendly tone.
"How did I know you were?" she said sarcastically as she reluctantly did so.
Artemis would have gaped at her if it hadn't been for his pride that he would lose if he did so. Captain Short looked absolutely radiant. With her hair grown out she looked prettier than she had before the mind-wipe. "You got my e-mail?"
"No. I just came up here so that we could have a tea party while we talked of current events in the world." Holly said, sarcasm dripping from every syllable.
"As lovely as that sounds, I would like to discuss something about more pressing matters, this evening." He smiled. And not his usual vampiric smile, but a genuine smile.
"I'm listening." Holly said testily. She really didn't care for beating around the bush and that's what Artemis was doing.
Artemis held up three books. One was gold colored, one was silver, and the third one was blue. Holly walked closer to see what the titles of the books were.
Artemis Fowl
Artemis Fowl: The Artic Incident
Artemis Fowl: The Eternity Code
At first Holly was confused. He got me to come all this way just so that I could see some books about him, Holly thought quizzically. Then it hit her. Those books had top be about their three adventures they had had together. Her eyes were opened wide in shock.
"These three books have our three escapades in them, word for word as they happened." He said flatly.
"But, how?" Holly managed to say.
"Honestly, I'm not sure of how this came to be. But this person, Eoin Colfer, the author of these books, must have followed us or had a spy follow us so he could make these books."
"So you weren't planning on tearing down HQ?"
"No. I didn't think that if I told you about these books that you would come here, but I knew a threat would." He said matter of factly. And he was exactly right, as usual.
"Do you think that he wants to expose the People?" Holly asked.
"I'm not sure, but I would like your help so that we could find out."
A/N~ Tell me what you think. Is it crap? Should I go on with it?
