Hello people! I finally got around to doing this chapter! Sorry it took this long. I had exams and it was my birthday and then I went to London for a week and a load of other stuff cropped up and I had no time! But I'm back now and will hopefully be updating more often than once every few weeks. Anyway onwards to the 'messages to the reviewers'.
fearsomdiety: hehe hyper people are amusing. But then I can't talk since I always get hyper.... lol. Yep the grammar was better because I had to do loads of revision for my English exam so I understood comma's and stuff more. And in one of the chapters coming up I promise I'll make her punch him again just for you! lol. Thanks for reviewing again!
AgiVega: Thanks for the tip :) This is my first fanfic so I wasn't really sure whether to allow them or not. I tried to make this chapter longer than the other ones but I don't know whether I actually improved much... What do you think about the length of this one? I'm happy to say, I've come up with a plot! Finally. It still needs some thinking but at least I know where I'm heading now . Thank you so much for reviewing!
mad sam: ehehe. I like annoying people with cliffies. Thanks so much! At first I wasn't sure if people would like it but I've got quite a lot of good reviews so far. Sorry I didn't update very soon. I'll be much faster next time. Thanks for the review!
Iyneferti Egyptian kitten: Thanks. I'd just like to say that I'm sorry if there are some spoilers for EC in later chapters. You should definitely read it! When are you going to?
Phire Phoenix: ahaha sorry I couldn't help myself. I was gonna carry on after that but I decided that it would be fun to leave it as a big cliffie. hisses back hehe. Thank you for reviewing. :D
WackedOutPet13: Thank you. I will lol.
Neko Mew Midorikawa: I never said he was gonna stick to it... lol. Well it's been 5 years since he was the criminal mastermind guy so he's bound to change a bit right? Like I said though, I have an idea for the ending and the main plot but for the rest I have absolutely no idea whats gonna happen.
Okay that's all for now. I just realized how many times I said thank you or thanks in that. hehe.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters in this ((except for Narela. She's mine lol.)) and I don't own the places like Haven. All of it is EC's :D
Here's the next chapter!!
---------------------------------
An annoying tap on her arm woke Juliet. She looked down and saw a familiar short little man tapping her continuously. She grinned. As much as he annoyed her it was good to see one of the fairy folk again. "Mulch! You can stop now...." she said. The tapping ceased and she got up from the floor awkwardly.
"Arty told us not to wake you but I dunno where him and Butler have gone so I did it anyway." he grinned. "There's two LEP fairies at the door. They came to see Holly. She's here by the way. And one, they need an invite and two, I wasn't sure whether Artemis wants them here..."
He looked expectantly at Juliet as if she knew what to do. She shrugged and answered "I'll go speak to them and see who they are." She was excited at the thought of meeting some LEP fairies again. She walked quickly out of the door and down the hall and when she reached the door she composed herself before opening it.
In front of her was a small woman with jet black hair and bright green eyes. "Oh!" Juliet said. "Mulch told me that there were two of you." She looked inquisitively at the fairy.
"Yes there were two of us but unfortunately Trouble got called back to Haven. I didn't hear why but I heard something about a Goblin riot. I am Officer Jannie." she said pleasantly and held out her hand to shake.
Juliet accepted it and smiled back. Jannie seemed like a nice person, and her smile was one that seemed to say she was innocent and cheerful.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Juliet."
Jannie smiled again and asked "Can I come in? I understand if the answer is no. It's just that I haven't seen Holly for ages and we are practically sisters and I just want to check she's alright and have a chat with her."
Juliet hesitated. She didn't think Artemis would mind terribly if she let Jannie in. And it wasn't like the fairies were their enemies... But there was still a chance that this might be a plan to mind wipe Artemis again. She sighed. "I'm sorry Jannie. If it was up to me I would SO let you in but Artemis is the owner and it's his choice."
Jannie sagged slightly. "Alright, I suppose I could wait a while to see Holly. But seeing as I can't see her do you mind telling me what her condition is? Sorry to hassle you..."
Juliet grinned and perked up at this new suggestion. At least she could help the poor fairy in some way, "Yeah, sure I will!"
She walked outside, shut the door behind her and sat on the top step and motioned for Jannie to sit by her. She opened her mouth to speak but something grabbed her arm. Jannie had her in a tight grip and she twisted her to look into her eyes and said with tones layered with some magic, "Now Juliet. I need to speak to Holly so I really think that you should invite me into Fowl Manor." Something in the back of Juliet's head tried to fight that powerful voice but it was too strong and she gave in.
She got up and said cheerfully "Okay! You're invited. Holly's in the sitting room if you were wondering."
--------------------
Jannie, who was actually, of course, Narela, smiled sweetly at Juliet but was actually thinking about how much she hated mud men as she walked up the steps into the manor. She looked around and heard Juliet follow her.
"Where is the sitting room?" she asked.
There were many places to go. Anywhere could be the sitting room! Juliet walked past grinning and led her up to a large set of wooden doors. Narela opened them and walked in quietly. "Stay there Juliet and tell me if anyone is coming. Stall them" she ordered and shut the door.
The room was well furnished and empty of people except for a small figure asleep on the couch. She approached stealthily and knelt next to the fairy. Suddenly a hysterical laughter took her over and she had to stifle it to keep from waking Holly. Once that had subsided she glared at the sleeping figure. Long years of suppressed emotions had led her to become slightly insane and the reason of this was caused by this very fairy in front of her.
"It doesn't seem right to kill you when you're asleep. Especially since you wouldn't see or understand who did it and why. I have a better plan," she said quietly.
She rummaged in her back pack for a moment and brought out a small, thin, black, round disk. She pressed it gently and a red light appeared that showed it had been activated. Then she peeled off a backing substance on one side of the disk and stuck it on the inside of Holly's helmet.
Foaly had given the disk to her just in case Artemis Fowl kidnapped her again or tried to do one of his sneaky plots and the LEP might need to track him. She had taken it without thinking but it seemed she would have a use for it after all. She heard voices outside and then Juliet came in and shut the door behind her.
"It's Artemis," she said quietly. "I told him to wait but he won't wait long."
Narela nodded and turned her back to Juliet. She brought out her buzz baton and charged it to a high setting and then walked innocently up to the girl and jabbed her with it. Juliet immediately collapsed on the floor unconscious. Then she took one last look around the room to check there were no clues to who had been here and walked over to the window. She opened it wide, flicked her wings on and quickly flew out before Artemis came to investigate.
-------------------
Artemis was waiting impatiently outside the door. Juliet was acting strangely and he could have sworn he'd heard voices inside the sitting room. Holly couldn't be awake and up to talking yet though. He tapped his shoe impatiently and was about to barge in when he saw Mulch coming down the hall towards him.
The dwarf was, as always, grinning and he stopped in front of Artemis and looked up at him. "Hey Artemis! Did you speak to the fairies at the door?"
Artemis frowned. "I wasn't aware that there were visitors," he answered slowly.
This time it was Mulch's turn to frown. "You mean Juliet never told you? She was the one who answered it."
A sudden thought came to Artemis and he said quickly to Mulch, "Go get Butler, Mulch. Don't ask why, just do it now!"
Mulch hesitated a moment and looked about to ask something but he obviously caught the look on Artemis' face and ran back down the hall the way he had come.
Artemis took a deep breath and opened the door. He groaned as his fears came true and saw Juliet lying on the floor unconscious. He glanced to check Holly was alright but she was still asleep and looked undisturbed. He knelt by Juliet but then got back up and turned around as the door crashed open and Butler charged in. He was panting but he still assessed the room and then knelt by Juliet.
"What happened Artemis?" he asked quickly. "Are you hurt? What happened to Juliet?"
Artemis shrugged. "I'm fine. I only just came in and everything was like this. My guess is that somehow the fairies at the door got Juliet to invite them in, then they came in here and did whatever they wanted to do, knocked Juliet unconscious and flew out of the window."
Butler frowned. "But Artemis. I thought we were at peace with the fairy folk now. And what were they doing here anyway? Nothing seems out of place except for Juliet."
Artemis' brow furrowed in thought but he couldn't think of an explanation.
----------------------------
Holly slowly woke up and opened her eyes. The pain had subsided considerably but she still couldn't see properly. As she squinted around the room she heard voices. Familiar voices. She sat up straight and peered over to the other side of the room thoughtfully. Then she smiled. It was Artemis and Butler. She rubbed her eyes and then got up and walked over to them.
Artemis looked at her in surprise and then smiled. "Hello Holly," he said warmly.
"Long time no see, mud boy." she answered but grinned back. Then she noticed something and looked down. "What the hell happened to Juliet?" she asked suddenly.
Artemis shrugged. "My theory is that she got tricked into inviting an LEP officer inside. Then they did whatever they wanted to do before knocking Juliet out and escaping through the window."
Holly shook her head. "Why would an LEP officer do this?" she asked and was cut off from continuing when the door swung open and Mulch walked in. He stopped in his tracks when he saw what had happened though.
Artemis jumped in before he could ask any questions though. "Mulch this is important. Did you see who Juliet invited inside the house?"
"Aye I did. I answered the door and Trouble was there with some really rude LEP chick. I dunno who she was. I couldn't find you or Butler so I told Juliet and she said she could handle it and anyway, I needed a nap." He shrugged.
Holly rolled her eyes and looked back at Artemis. "No. Trouble would never have done something like this. And if that other officer was with him then he wouldn't have allowed her to either," she told him.
Artemis didn't look too convinced but let it drop for now because Juliet was coming around. She opened her eyes slowly and looked around. When she caught sight of Holly she grinned and perked up a bit and then mumbled, "Hiya Holly! What happened? I remember opening the door and seeing that fairy girl and speaking to her and then...." she trailed off and looked thoughtful for a moment. "Oops.... sorry Artemis. I um invited her in..... without your permission." She looked guiltily up at him.
Holly frowned. "But Mulch said there were two LEP officers." she said.
"There was only Officer Jannie when I went. She said something like....." She stopped for a moment and thought. "She said 'Trouble got called back to Haven'. She said something about a Goblin Riot."
Holly flinched at this and groaned. "If that's the case then I should be getting back to Haven to help." she said wearily and turned back to go and pick up her stuff but Artemis caught her arm.
"Wait a minute Holly. Have you ever thought that this 'Officer Jannie' just said that to cover up for Trouble's absence. She may even be setting you up for something. We should discuss this first and come up with a plan."
Holly stared at him for a moment and sighed. "I know what you say is a possibility but if there is even the smallest chance that Haven is in trouble then I want to be there to help. I'm sorry Artemis but I have to go." She turned and pulled out of his grasp before walking over to the couch and picking up her wings and her helmet. She strapped the wings on and was about to put the helmet on when Artemis stopped her again.
"I want to come. And shouldn't we look for Trouble first?" he asked.
Holly considered it and nodded. "We can look for him quickly but if you come Artemis then how are you going to get there? I will be flying and you've grown since I last carried you. These are crappy wings anyway. Foaly's complaining about a tight budget."
Artemis looked thoughtful. "Butler and I will follow you by car and you can wait for us there." he said and Holly agreed.
Juliet and Butler had been speaking softly and Juliet was now on her feet so the five of them left the house to search for Trouble. In truth Holly was extremely worried. She had been good friends with Trouble for years and if something had happened to him then she would be very upset. They set off in pairs - Artemis with Holly and Juliet with Butler - and Mulch on his own and began searching for a sign of Trouble. Perhaps he got shoved in some bushes somewhere too.
