Okay. I am so sorry. I really don't think that there's much else that I can say that will make up for such a looonnnggg 'leave of absence.' I'm such a lazy ass ;) But anyway, I really appreciate you all sticking by me. This chapter is dedicated to all of you who threatened to kill me if I didn't write. You're the reason I'm here today, along with the greatness of Greenday, Evanescence, and many other assorted groups.

In Memory of Kurt Cobain, the greatest rocker of all time Die Courtney

Angelina Fowl looked out of her window on the third floor of the Fowl Mansion. Far off in the distance, the lights of two flashlights could be seen, flickering in the obscured darkness. She frowned. She didn't like those lights. She didn't like one of their carriers.

Ever since that girl had came home with her Arty, she had been on edge. Sure, she was initially more then happy at her arrival. She was glad that her son was finally getting some friends and, possibly something more, and she was happy enough to welcome her. And who wouldn't? She was charming, kind, beautiful... perfect. Too perfect.

Perhaps it was Eliza's attitude that started her suspicions, but it was other things that confirmed it. The fact that she only came by on clear nights, or on the cloudiest of Irish days. Or the way she politely refused to sit down next to the window. Or the way she never tried any of their cooking, or talked about the weather.

Yes, any one of those things could have been the reason for Mrs. Fowls caution, or her husbands Calculated indifference, but it was the look that got Angelina's attention the most.

The way that, when no one else was looking, the girls mask would let it down ever so slightly, and grin.

A grin of malice A grin of hate A grin of death And a grin of complete, utter triumph.

Directed straight at her Arty.

And then she would turn to her, and wink.

A wink that said everything.

"I know you know" "I know your'e afraid" "Good" "And by the way, I could care FUCKING less about you, old hag!!"

Okay. For the simple fact fo letting you know that Im still here, Ill end the update. I will update within the week. I think I can promise.... I think... But I'll try. This was an Easter present saying that I'm alive. I am alive.

I LIVE!! :thundercrash: Anyway, Happy Easter! Later!
