Hey all,
I'm back again..
Actually small note. Some authors make characters as they would want to be. Thorn is hardly like me and nor do I wish I was in her shoes.
----------------------------------- I have cut out the laywer parts thinking they might have been offensive. Disclaimer: I do not oown Holly Short or any other character from Artemis Fowl. They are Eion Cofiers. ---------------------------------------------------
Holly stared at the human. She had a reddy brown hair, with dark green questioning eyes.
"Thorn, is it? Ok then.."
Holly began to dig through her pack.
The girl stood up from her crouched position.
"Don't bother with your gadgets. Try mesmer if you want. I'm glad you finally came. Though I would have rather not had you here but now you and your people will be useful."
Holly let her pack drop. She looked up at the girl. Thorn had a cold, hard stare.
"And why, Maria Kingley should I listen to you?"
The girl smiled slighty but it was replaced with a scowl.
"Because you want to know how I found out. You need to know or else I'll do it again and again. Actually no I wouldn't but I'd know and that would be a problem. Mind wipe me now and you'll never know. My group is quite elite as stupid as they can be."
How can she know? This is impossible. She's another Artemis.
"So genuis.."
Thorn cut her off by laughing.
"I am no genuis. I wouldn't want to be one, stuck up as the usually are."
Holly just stared at her. Rude just like Mud people.
But she has a point. She is willing to tell you how she knows.
"So how did you find out?"
"I'm going to show you. Theres another one of you around here. Leave him be. He follows and I will have him shot, no matter what the scores are."
Holly shrugged. She really didn't care what happened to Vein but she knew better then to say anything. Thorn was serious in this. You could see it in her eyes.
"So show me. Now."
"Its not here. Think I would use school computers? I only used them to make sure you would come. Or one of you."
"So show me!"
Holly's temper was at an edge. Thorn gave her information but limited. Suspicious mud girl.
"It's not here. Come on."
Thorn turned and walked aways from the school. Holly shielded and walked beside her. The girl didn't even flinch.
"Aren't you worried I'll leave or soemthing?"
"No. You need to know what I know. I would rather you never came at all. I'm glad it was you though. Holly Short.."
"Wait, how do you know my name? Can you read...?"
"No I can't. Haven't a clue. I got into the LEP files and one of my partners translated it. I knew soon enough they would send some of you. Anyways you won't leave. You are interested in what I know and how I know and you need to know. Got that?"
"Yeah, ok you win then. For now."
"I don't get into fights I won't win. Now follow."
Thorn jogged down a few alleys with Holly at her heels. She took a few twists and turns and ended up in a dark alley with a dirtbike locked to a chain in the wall. Thorn brought out keys unlocking it and started it up.
"Get on. Wait."
Thorn hopped off the bike and set it against the wall. She dug a helmet out of her bag.
"Put it on."
"Why? I'm wearing a helmet thanks, and I'm not riding on that "bike" with you. I'll fly, thankyou. Are you going to wear a helmet?"
"Because you can't follow me by flying. And you have to wear this helmet because yours looks technological. Even at a glance. People will be scared and might follow us. Yours attracts attention and we don't want that. And I don't ride with a helmet. I can't see where I'm going."
"Then I don't need it."
"I daresay your stubborness is equal to mine. You have to wear a helmet or else people will see your ears and then we have a bigger problem. You can't fly because you would never be able to where to land. And its quite dangerous."
"Fine."
Holly tooks her off and stuffed it into Thorn's bag. She put Thorn's on. How can I let myself be pushed around by some mud girl. Look at her. Dark jeans, black shirt with death written on it. Black leather knee high boots. Silver swords dangling from her ears with a chocker necklace with some charm. Wait she must only be..
"You can't drive this thing. You're way to young."
Thorn smiled.
"Do I look like someone who listens to rules? No one cares in this town. Get on already."
Thorn climbed on to the bike and helped Holly on.
"Don't fall off now."
Thorn kicked the bike into gear. She joined main traffic onto roads and used sidewalks to get past busy and blocked up areas. Holly tightened her grip around Thorn's waist as the bike bounced up and down. Thorn was being honked at by cars and yelled at her, but the insults rolled right off her. They travelled into the outskirts onto a road called Bolak Avenue. Thorn slowed the bike and went slowly behind an old office building. She turned off the bike and got off. Holly followed in suit and Thorn began wheeling the bike towards the back doors.
"So where are we?"
"This is our place. The guys and I use this as our office. Its abandoned and still has electricity. We don't pay a cent. Running water too. Very useful. People left it because its the thirteenth building. Superstitious weirdos."
Thorn wheeled the bike in and waited for Holly to come in. Holly stood there, glaring.
"So you know who I am, but you haven't heard of the rules or the book?"
"Book? Rules? Nope. Haven't the slightest idea."
"You have to invite me in or I lose my magic."
"Ok then. I invite you into my horrible but useful office building. I knew you had mesmer, but what else?"
"Healing, I can heal."
"Sweet. Come on."
Holly walked into the building. Thorn locked the doors behind her.
"I don't want anyone in here. Its a locked up abandoned building. You want a tour? Or do you want to meet my group?"
"How did you find out about the people?"
"Quite by accident. But we would have known about the trolls soon enough."
"Trolls on the surface?"
"I'll explain later."
Thorn walked through a few doors and came to a closed one. As she opened it, a human stuck a gun to her forehead.
"Freeze."
