Dreams
Chapter two, Mistakes
Disclaimer: I do not own Artemis Fowl, or any other AF characters.
A/N: This is a stand-alone fic; it features the characters and storylines from Changes and Family Tree but is not in the series. Just thought I'd make that clear. Here is chapter two...
Thank you...
VampyGenieWitch: Cool? I hope you carry on thinking that. It's one of my favourites. I am updating Changes; it's almost done now. Keep reading.
DaydreamQueenMisha: All I'll say is Holly is my favourite character. Do you think I'd kill her??? Yes, the last bit was Amber's vision. I have updated Changes, with two new chapters and I am working on the epilogue right now. But this is the start of the rest of my life is going very slow at the minute.
Red water rising: I'm glad you like it. Sorry about the errors, I will check for them in future. I know it was short, the lengths do vary, but this one should be longer.
The Kelp Family apartment
"Amber? Amber are you ok?" Holly asked, as Amber opened her eyes and slowly sat up. She stared into her mother's face and gasped.
"It's you. Oh no, Oh no, It's you, It's YOU!!!!!!!!!"
Amber looked stricken, Holly looked panicked, and Trouble looked shocked.
Then a wave of calm swept over Holly. The calm that she usually felt in situations like this.
"Ok," she looked at her moonometer. "Trouble, leave this to me, otherwise you'll miss your shuttle. Frond knows what the Commander would say about that!"
Trouble agreed and let Holly wave him out of the door.
"See you in three months!" he called back to her.
"Right," said Holly after she'd shut the door. "Amber, What's up?"
Amber remained silent, looking at her feet. She glanced up at Holly; fear gripped her once again.
"Holly, (she never called her mother anything else) don't go to work to work today, I'm begging you. Stay home, phone in sick." Amber pleaded with her mother.
"Why?" asked Holly, plainly. "Why go to all this trouble? Is there something I should know? Tell me Amber."
Amber explained her prediction as best she could, telling Holly that she'd been right before. When she was a baby, predicting Grubs death, although that had been a bit vague, compared to her latest premonition.
Holly said it could've been a one off and how did she know where dreams ended and premonitions began?
Amber tried to convince her mother, that she just did, but Holly wasn't listening, she busy helping her up and pushing her in the direction of her bedroom.
"You need to rest. Have a little sleep, eh?" Holly suggested.
Amber rolled her eyes, "I'm not tired..."
Holly ignored this; she propelled Amber through the door.
"I'll fix you a glass of water." Holly stated, heading into the kitchen. She poured a glass of mineral water from the cooler. Then she rummaged in a cupboard to find the medication that the warlocks had prescribed when Amber first started blacking out. She dripped three drops of crystal clear liquid into the glass. That would give Amber a nice deep sleep. She needed it after all.
"Here you go." Said Holly, when she returned to Amber's room and handed her the glass.
"Thanks," replied Amber, taking the glass and sitting still fully clothed on the bed. She gulped water from the glass, swallowing quickly. "That feels much better."
A wave of drowsiness swept over her. Her eyelids were heavy; she ached to shut them. She felt strangely tired. Perhaps she'd just close them for a second. What harm could that do? But she couldn't open them again. And somewhere deep inside her heart, she knew, that when she could, it would be too late.
Holly stroked Amber's hair. She shuddered, this time a few years ago, she'd never consider doing this. Look what mother hood did to you? She'd had a personality transplant.
Still puzzling over Amber's outburst, she headed out of the room, pulling the door tight shut behind her. Amber loved to feel enclosed in her own space, her room was totally private. Holly glanced at her moonometer.
"Oh gods!" She cried, it was almost moon time on the surface; she was going to be late!
She zipped up her jumpsuit on her way to the door. She was pulling it open, when she realised she didn't have her key.
"D'Arvit!" she cursed, oh well, it was too late to go and find it. Amber wasn't stupid; she could trust her to be responsible. She'd have to leave it unlocked.
A/N: So Holly makes one mistake, how does this affect her? Keep reading updates to find out more. Remember the more reviews, the quicker I update.
