Chapter 2

§§§§

"What's happening, Foaly?" Holly turned to the centaur.

"It seems someone blew a hole in the middle story of the Fowl Manor…" Foaly muttered.

"Can you see if everyone's okay?" Root asked.

"Already working on it Ju—commander," Foaly said, hi s eyes flashing against the computer.

Holly and Root glanced at each other anxiously.

Artemis and Juliet walked downstairs slowly. As they reached the second floor, they saw a gigantic hole in the wall and some of the steps broken off. Artemis climbed carefully to the bottom step, Juliet tripped slightly and Artemis caught her. Their faces were inches apart as Artemis helped her stand.

"You're okay, correct?" Artemis asked, looking at her, wondering why the heck she was staring at him in a slightly dazed/awestruck way.

"Yes, A-Artemis, I'm f-fine," Juliet muttered, looking away.

"Alright, come on, then," they both ran through the first and ground floors of the Manor, searching for a sign of Butler or Mr. and Mrs. Fowl… Nothing.

"What could've happened?" Juliet asked.

Then it hit him, "come on…"

"Where are we going?"

"To the fairies of course," Artemis said.

"Oh, like the one when you were twelve?" Juliet responded excitedly.

Artemis just grabbed her hand and led her to the basement.

§§§§

"Hey, I'm pickling up something, in the basement," Foaly suddenly said.

"Really, what is it?" Holly asked anxiously.

"It seems to be two humans…"

"Well, obviously you can find out how right?" Root asked.

"Of course, this will take less than a minute," Foaly did a full computer scan of the building.

"Brilliant," Root said sarcastically, "come, Holly…"

"What is it commander?" Holly ran after him, and then she called, "Just call us when you find out something new!"

"Alright Holly," Foaly said, chuckling.

Holly grinned and raced after Root, "Commander, do you think this unexpected explosion is connected to the Golden Jewel?"

"Preposterous, Captain!" Root said outraged, "This has absolutely NOTHING to do with it!"

"Alright," Holly sighed and continued after Root.

"Melerasso, do you get them?" the female fairy asked.

"Yes, Madame, captured and in a cell," Melerasso answered.

"Good, they don't call Venice the city of no escape for nothing," the fairy's shiny teeth sparkled in the dim light, "now, I will have that Fowl in my grasp, he can't resist saving his family and bodyguard, finally I will have my precious Golden Jewel in my hands once more…"

"Madame, don't mind my asking, but why do you want this Jewel?" Melerasso asked.

"It was taken from my grandfather, hidden in the depths of this very city… I intend to get it back and rule the People once more," the fairy's grin grew wider.

"Yes, Madame, whatever you say," Melerasso bowed and retreated into the darkness of the room.

"No one will get in my way this time, I assure you," then she stood up and opened the door to the room, "let's go pay our little friends a visit shall we?"

She closed the door behind her and Melerasso, the room was filled in darkness, except for the glowing glass sphere with the many rubies around it…

Artemis and Juliet silently walked through the basement. Artemis walked up to a long carpet Juliet had never seemed to notice.

"Artemis, what's that doing there?" Juliet wandered toward him.

"It's our way to the fairies, that's what," he answered, pushing away the carpet.

Under it there was a large hole that lead—

§§§§

"—underground. They seem to be walking underground," Foaly answered.

"But WHO are they?" Root asked impatiently.

"Isn't it obvious?" Foaly said, "Fowl Jr. and a blond girl with an apron on…"

"Juliet!" Holly piped up.

"Alright… so, what are they doing underground?"

"Well, they're, well, more like climbing down what seem to be steps built just for that," Foaly responded.

"That can't be!" Holly gasped.

§§§§

Okay, that was a kind of dumb cliffhanger… don't you agree, well, I couldn't come up with anything else! Just, please, I NEED more reviews!!!
