Hello! I apologize for taking so long writing this chapter. I've had a major case of writer's block and nearly no time to write. Hopefully this
chapter is worth the wait though I doubt it. Anyway, I'm glad so many people reviewed even though most of them were to get me to update.
though I would like to thank you all.

Choco Cow: Thank you. It will be good I hope.
Blondee: I know it's evil.
alex: I know I'm evil.
ang3lcat : I'm trying to make them longer.
Pink-Flower: Same as above. I will try to space thing's out more.

sobakasu03: I'm glad you like the pairing. It's not my favourite but it is pretty good.
SilverBulletGirl: It's not really annoying. or at least it's not the most annoying "update or else" review i've ever seen.
Anyway, now that that's over with, on with the story!
Disclaimer: I don't own Artemis Fowl or any of the charecters from it. I do however own the little old lady.
Chapter III The old Woman
Juliet reached a shaky hand towards the weathered door. Fear filled her intirely. She opened the door slowly while images of what could
possibly be on the other side of it swirled through every area of her mind. She opened the door all the way and peered in. She couldn't see
anything due to the fact that the room was pitch black. Unfortunatly, the voices were still resounding louder and with more force behind them than
ever. Suddenly the light flickered on inside the room. Juliet squinted against the bright light. after a minute or two her eyes were agusted to the
light. Standing in front of her was a little old lady who must have been at least 70 years old! she wore a very old and dulled dress that was in very
bad condition and an equally old patched fabric hat. Juliet stared at her in disbelief for a minute. She shook her head. Suddenly she noticed that
the voices had stopped. The woman in front of her had a grandmotherly look about her. The room was covered in dirt and cobwebs. There was
an ancient sofa behind her that was a sickly shade of green and covered in dirt brown patches. There was a lot of fabric in the room and almost
all of it was drab, faded and ugly. the only good pieces in the room were the stark white tablecloth on a circular oak table and a tapestry that had
been dyed green and had various balck symbols on it.
As Juliet continued to take in all the various aspects of the room the old woman murmured
"welcome miss" she began "what may i do for you?". Her voice was deep and cracked like an old record that had been played one too many
times. Yet behind her voice was beauty or possibly even a magicl essence. Juliet was startled by the question and couldn't manage an answer.
She wanted to ask who the woman was and why she had been calling her. but her mind just went blank.
The woman could tell Juliet was was having trouble finding the right words. "I can tell what troubles you. I believe I have something that can
help. Follow me". Juliet hesitated for a moment. Should she trust this woman she'd met mere moments before? She contemplated it for a
second but decided to follow her. There was just something about the woman that made her.
She led Juliet across the main room and down a long dark hallway. It appeared to be lined with old family portraits. At the end of the hallway
there was a circular room. directly in the center of it was a spiral staircase going down. The woman descended the stairs with Juliet at her heels.
The room at the bottom was as dark as the alley had been. They went down yet another corridor. At the end of this one, there was a blazing white
room covered from floor to ceiling whit portraits and old photos. all of which were framed and covered in a light coat of dust. Juliet maarveled at
it. There was one similarity between all of the pictures. They all contained the same young couple. "I was once in love too" stated the old woman
as though from another world "his name was Shayne. He was so handsome. Ah, we were the happiest and most envied couple in the town.
Unfortunately, on night there was an accident. He was taken from me far too soon. But you! You still have a chance for love. The one i lost. Go
now! To the one you love". And with those wods, Juliet blacked out.
When she came to she was back in the alley leaning against a wall. Had it all been a dream? Had she imagined the whole thing? She shook
the dirt off her and headed for the bently. She might as well go back to the manor.
There you have it. It didn't come together quite as i'd expected but hey. It's done, right? i hope you liked it. i probably won't update for a while
because i have next to no free time. But it will be done by April (I hope). Until then, please review with your thoughts.
