Mad sam: What was Holly doing there you ask? She was! ... I dunno... Oh well. He didn't have Butler throw her out cause a) he didn't see her at first and b) when he did her recognized her. Yes, Root is Holly's uncle and she and Foaly WERE dating. They're not anymore.
Chapter Two: Of Love.
Artemis and Holly leaned away from each other, both stunned at what they had just done. Artemis, because he had NEVER shown emotion to anyone, and when he showed emotion to his parents it was minimal. And now he had kissed a girl he just met.
Holly on the other hand, was surprised that she had kissed someone other than a parent and was duly surprised it was the one person who had caused her so much pain in the past. She was also a little bit frightened of what would happen if Root found out. And how Foaly would react. Not that what Foaly thought really mattered anymore. He said that they were through, so what should he care? Their thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door and Holly's worst fears were confirmed.
Root stood there, to Holly's great amusement, in a blue Hawaiian style silken shirt, khaki shorts and blue flip-flops. He also wore dark sunglasses. He lowered them and looked at Holly sternly.
"Holly," she could tell the kindness and concern in his voice were very forced, "you ought to tell us where you're going before you up and disappear like that. We all thought this was another incident." he looked at Artemis and Holly caught the hint. He added quietly, "We were all very worried. Especially Foaly." She glared at him and he smirked back.
"Holly, Who is this?" Artemis asked suspiciously.
"Oh sorry Artemis. This is my uncle Julius." Artemis nodded and Root glared at her. She smirked back.
"Julius, would you like to stay for dinner?" Artemis asked politely.
"Thank you, but no." Root smiled at Holly, "Holly, it's six thirty right now, I want you home by nine." He smiled sweetly and left, shutting the door behind him.
"He's interesting." Artemis watched the spot where he had stood as if he were still there, then turned and looked at Holly. She looked right back into his eyes. He had a thoughtful look in his eyes. Holly, who wanted very much to kiss him again, but knew she shouldn't, lowered her head. He reached over with his hand and lifted her chin.
"Holly, what 'incident' was he talking about?" He grabbed her hand when she didn't answer. "What was it?"
"I was out preparing for... something and I was kid-, I was kidnapped." She continued gazing into his eyes, hoping he wouldn't ask the one question that would trip her up. But he did.
"By who?"
'By the filthy little mud kid I just kissed. By you Artemis, you!' she thought halfway venomously halfway thoughtfully.
"By who, Holly?" At that very moment Mrs. Fowl walked in.
"Here's dinner!" Holly sighed inwardly.
They ate happily and Holly got along fine with all the Fowls. Then, after dinner, Artemis invited her to go up to his room with him. [A.N.: No, nothing like that...yet...] Holly considered and accepted. They walked up the stairs to Artemis' room.
"I know this is a rather kid-ish thing to be dealing with at fourteen, but I thought you might find it interesting." He pulled up a window on his computer. It was a site on the Internet that was almost all text. "It has to do with fairies"
"Holly's mouth was hanging open as she skimmed the document.
'The book, mesmer, oh shit.' Her watch beeped and she looked at it.
"It's nine already? Well Artemis, I gotta go." She turned and headed towards the door. Artemis caught her by the arm and spun her around. He pulled her close to him and kissed her. She threw her arms around his neck and returned it passionately.
"I love you."
