Chapter Three

(A/N: Thank you guys for the reviews!! You're such a support!!)

Holly woke up the sun shining in her face.

Artemis soon opened his eyes just as well.

"Morning," he said.

Holly grinned.

"Hey check what time it is," she said, yawning.

"8:00," replied Artemis.

"Holy crap! We gotta go! JUSTIN! ALEXIA!" exclaimed Holly, quickly grabbing her backpack with her gun…ect.

"Yeah Holly?" asked Justin.

"We gotta leave now. Mind to give us a ride to the airport?" asked Holly.

"Anything for family," he said.

Artemis smirked.

"Well let's go," he said.

"Thank you Justin, I should be coming back over soon," said Holly.

"As I said, anything for family," Justin replied.

"We better get going," said Artemis.

"Yeah, see ya!" exclaimed Holly.

Artemis and she ran off to the plane to Egypt.

"So, what if she's not in Egypt?" asked Artemis.

Holly shrugged.

"Well she might know that we're after her, but if she's somewhere else she'll soon have nowhere to go, don't worry about it," she replied.

Artemis checked his cell phone for any lost calls.

There was one from Juliet..

"Hey Artemis. Dom and I were looking on the data-base this morning and found out that Raven Ceres is currently known dead, obviously to hide up the fact. She's a threat to the human world just as well as the elfin world. She's murdered our father we figured out. Lived as long as Rionia Fowl, both of them was friends, practically partners in crime," said Juliet's voicemail.

"But we wanted to tell you that were looking up on her anyway we can. If you need us call you. We're One-Hundred Percent behind you!" it continued.

Artemis replayed the mail for Holly.

"So you ancestors had something to do with Raven. Perfect…then we'll have a wonderful family reunion," said Holly.

"How's she human?" asked Artemis.

"Sorceress' are human…just a little bit different…magical powers….can disguise their selves as black cats…rides on broomsticks…..and all that jazz," replied Holly.

"So, we're dealing with a major problem here…she could be anywhere as anyone," Artemis pointed out.

"You gotta point, but fairies are deaf, dumb, or blind…we know what's going on around us," said Holly.

And that's where Captain Holly Short was wrong. Because Raven was right under their noses…..as a black cat…

The plane landed smoothly on the ground, the cat getting out of the plane, following Artemis and Holly.

Both were laughing at some idiotic joke.

Course to them, everything was funny. Humans and elves, they never mixed together.

Raven cloaked herself, it was time to go somewhere else now.

In her black tote bag was a spell book, a broom, a couple potions in flasks and just a harmless laptop.

She quietly snuck pasts a flock of people and went behind a couple buildings and sped off into the night.

Egypt was far behind her…let Victoria leer them here….Victoria was no friend of Raven's, she was more of traitor than anything else on earth, Victoria was nothing too loyal to Holly…

Koki was a different story…she could get anyone to spill out information…Koki wasn't exactly naïve either like she acted to be. Koki was a full force weapon when she needed to be. Course Holly and her little goody-two shoes gang of course parted ways from the most powerful.

Raven landed, she was staying in the U.K for tonight…time to give the Butler's a little visit at the Fowl manor.

Juliet was watching TV at the time when there was a bloody scream in the living room.

Juliet quickly grabbed both a kendo sword and hand-gun of the cabinet, and quickly ran up stairs, to find Domovi Butler on the floor bloody.

"The place has changed since I cooperated with dear Rionia Fowl," said a cruel voice.

That voice was pure evil, pure hate…it was smooth and silky at the same time.

Juliet turned around to find a brown haired woman leaning against the dark shadows of the walls, her deep emerald eyes glowed in the dark…lime green.

"You must be the infamous Princess Jade….or how I should say Juliet Butler?" asked the woman.

"Who in the name of seven oblivions are you?!" Screamed Juliet, whipping out her Kendo Sword.

"The one you've been looking for. Tell Master Fowl that his little girlfriend Holly better watch out….not to mention himself…tell him the next place I'll be is somewhere to die for," said the woman.

"RAVEN! You evil sick cow," screamed Juliet, rushing towards the sorceress hitting Raven with the Kendo Sword.

Only to hit into a China Cabinet full of glass.

"Send them my regards," said Raven, breaking every single piece of glass out of the windows, the glass swirled around within the gusts of wind, and Raven was gone.

Juliet was bloody but was alive, as for Butler, his chances were slim; he had to get to a hospital right away.

Holly entered inside the little house of Victoria's…

"Victoria?" asked Holly.

Artemis followed in enjoying the shade.

He remembered Cairo, Egypt.

It was when he was first looking for the fairies and their gold…starting first with the book, course Cairo's so-called-owner-of-the-book was completely a fake.

Victoria was looking as though she was meditating.

"Victoria?" asked Holly.

Victoria shot up to see her friend.

"Holly! Long time no see my friend. Now about Raven, she sent me a message yesterday, leaving for Hong-Kong," she said.

Holly rolled her eyes.

"Did she actually stop by?" she asked.

"No…Koki told me to tell you," replied Victoria.

"Wonderful," muttered Artemis.

"You must be Artemis. Holly's mentioned you a couple times in her letters. You don't seem as bad as she says…a harmless little teenager a monster Holly? C'mon please!" exclaimed Victoria.

"Wouldn't believe the chaos he caused for the LEP," said Holly.

"Well, I guess I'd have to be there to see it," said Victoria.

Holly looked annoyed.

"I'll make the-"began Victoria.

A cell phone rang.

Once again it was Juliet.

"Hello?" was Artemis' reply.

"We've got problems," said Juliet.

"What problems?" shot Artemis.

"Raven stopped by. The whole house is a wreck; thankfully your cameras were on in the room. So if you have your laptop I can send you a recording file. Not to mention there's bad news," said Juliet.

"What bad news?" asked Artemis, his blue eyes going wide.

"Raven attacked Dom; he's at the hospital right now. They say his breathing rate is pretty bad…he might not live to see another day," whispered Juliet.

Artemis closed his eyes to just keep himself from crying, he took a slow swallow before replying.

"Should I come back?" asked Artemis.

"No…I'm sending you a file of Raven...and the attack. Dom was getting old anyway…it might be best for him if he's somewhere else now…just to finally rest. But yes I hope he lives. He's my brother and it's going to be quite lonely without him…I expect this is hard for you too," said Juliet.

Artemis took another swallow.

"Send me the file. I need to talk to Holly," he said, hanging up.

Holly could tell he was about to be in tears.

"W-what happened," she asked softly.

Artemis didn't reply but took out his laptop a video recording coming onto a Media Player.

The doors to the Fowl manor were shot open and Butler was knocked out a boomerang-like knife hit him in the back making Butler scream in pain.

A cloaked figure hid within a shadow and Juliet came racing into the manor entrance.

A…cool…silky....but evil cold and heartless voice answered.

"The place has changed since I cooperated with dear Rionia Fowl."

Holly's haze eyes darkened…almost like a manslayer's when ready to kill.

"You must be the infamous Princess Jade….or how I should say Juliet Butler?" asked the woman.

"Who in the name of seven oblivions are you?!" Screamed Juliet, whipping out her Kendo Sword.

"The one you've been looking for. Tell Master Fowl that his little girlfriend Holly better watch out….not to mention himself…tell him the next place I'll be is somewhere to die for," said the woman.

Holly's eyes were ready to kill.

"RAVEN! You evil sick cow," screamed Juliet, rushing towards the sorceress hitting Raven with the Kendo Sword.

Only to hit into a China Cabinet full of glass.

"Stupid girl…hitting into Raven like that….she's not your ordinary person!" snarled Holly.

"Send them my regards," said Raven, breaking every single piece of glass out of the windows, the glass swirled around within the gusts of wind, and Raven was gone.

Artemis glanced at Holly as the computer shut down.

Victoria's eyes were just as dark.

"Well we know where Raven will be," said Holly.

Victoria nodded.

"I think it's best if you keep your distance from the Fowl Manor…stay here tonight. No need for wandering, there's only one guestroom so I hope you don't mind if you two share," Victoria.

She walked off into another room.

"I'm sorry about Butler," replied Holly softly, she was back to her old self again.

Artemis nodded.

"We'll get Raven for this, she won't go unharmed, I promise you that Artemis," said Holly.

Just then Artemis….hugged her.

He hugged Holly, sliding his arms around her waist.

Maybe because she needed to get her mind off of Raven, and maybe because he needed a shoulder to cry on.

Holly's arms went around his neck….and she cried.

This Raven business was stressing her out.

"It's okay," he said, leading her to the other room to the house.

She has quickly fallen asleep on Artemis, she has cried on him, and he was still hugging her trying to comfort her.

Artemis gently laid her down on the bed, finding him sleeping on the other side.

Not that he had noticed when they had fallen asleep but Holly's and Artemis' were holding hands. Artemis' hand easily covering Holly's.

Some mission this was going to be…it was too stressful as it was…was it that…..Artemis was starting to find himself a best friend?

(A/N: Thank you guys for the reviews!!! No Justin was an elf…so was Alexia…they're just...under a spell to where there sorta like humans…and look like them. They don't really have any job except to secretly notice the humans for the American LEP…heh...well hope you enjoyed this chapter. Sorry it took so long!!!!!!!!)
