YAY! Chapter six!

I thought you could put lyrics in, but I'm not sure. hm...
Oh well. Yeah, I'm going to try to make more stuff happen in the chapters, with less random things.


"Juliet, Do you want to go on this one?" Audrey asked. They were standing at the base of one of those spin you till you barf rides. Artemis looked green from the last one they went on.

"Sure, Artemis, you can sit this one out." He nodded, and sat down on the blue bench to think.

Audrey was obviously giving him and Juliet a try. Trying to make it work. He smiled. That was a good thing.

After the flippy ride, they all went on the Farris wheel. Audrey sat at one side and stared out into the sunset. "I'm the only one," she whispered.

"What?" Asked Juliet. "What did you say."

"I'm the only one who makes her cry."

Artemis realised it was true. He had only ever seen Holly cry once before, and that was shortly after Root's death. Now, she was sobbing over her little sister saying something. He had been so quick he hadn't thought about it, he had instinctively tried to make her feel better... he had changed in more than one-way. He was kinder now. A lot kinder.

"I'm going to make this work. Juliet, I'm gunna Do anything I can, and Artemis, I will try to be like a sister to you. I'll be nice, and..."

Juliet stopped her. "Just tell Holly how you feel. Tell her you don't want an other family bring you up. Tell her you want to live with her."

Audrey smiled. "Thank you."


"Holly!" Audrey called. "Holly?" They were back from the fair. "Holly?" Audrey started running around. Calling more urgently now. "Holly!"

Artemis stepped into the kitchen. On the table, there was a note.

Audrey-
I needed to get back underground, Mulch needs me for an important case.
I love you Audrey, don't forget that.

Holly

Audrey read the note over Artemis's shoulder. "Oh," she said numbly. "I, oh well. I think I'm going to go to bed." Audrey climbed the stairs slowly. "She didn't say goodbye," she said aloud.


It had been a week since Audrey had slept properly. All this junk about Holly... At least she had gotten papers for the adoption and had signed them before she went... But, Audrey wanted to talk to her sister. To tell her she was sorry, to tell her she loved her and didn't want Juliet to bring her up the rest of the way, to tell her that she wanted her, her own flesh and blood, her sister.

Audrey spent a lot of the week sitting in her room rampaling cords off her guitar. Occasinally she'd burst into song, but it rarely happened. Finally, she couldn't take it any longer. "Artemis, I need to talk to Holly. Do you know how I could do it?"

Artemis looked up from the laptop. "Yes, I think I know a way."


"Fairy, LEP elf, The People, ah what the heck, Foaly, this is Audrey, do you remember me? Audrey Short. Anyways, I want to talk to Holly, so if you could send someone down..." Audrey hung up. "Think it'll work?" She asked Artemis.

"I hope so, if you were friends with Foaly then he'll send someone." Artemis looked at his watch. "Someone should come soon." They were standing outside a payphone. Ten minutes later, Trouble Kelp appeared in front of them.

"Audrey."

"Trouble. Are you on line with Foaly?"

"Yes."

"Good. Give me your helmet." Trouble obligingly gave Audrey his helmet, who at once began talking to Foaly. "Foaly, Why'd you have to send Trouble?"

"No 'hello' or 'nice to see ya, haven't seen ya in almost five years'?"

"Sorry. Hey Foaly, why'd you send Trouble? You know I... don't like him."

"Only guy available sorry. Listen, what's this about Holly?"

"I..." Audrey stuttered. "I just want to talk to her. Is it alright?"

Foaly paused. "Listen, Holly's supposed to be there with you! She was taking a two-week break to visit with you! Mulch has been asking me to get her back for days now, apparently the little dwarf isn't enjoying his break as much as Holly."

The color drained from Audrey's face. Artemis could feel his own hands growing cold.

"No, Holly went back because Mulch needed her for a case. She left a week ago."

"No, Audrey, Holly's still above ground."

"But she left." Artemis jumped in. "Holly left a week ago. We haven't heard or seen from her since."

Foaly paused on the other side of the line. Underground, he was staring at the visual screen Audrey was feeding him, a picture of Artemis's face. "Trouble," he said finally. "If you would please bring Audrey, Artemis, and, Audrey did Holly tell you about..."

"Juliet? Yeah."

"Okay. And Juliet. Bring them here."


Holly woke up in strange room. She had visions of Artemis's cell, but no, this was different. Where was she?

A man came in. He carried a plate of food. "Here," he said. "You must be hungry."

Holly stared at him. She felt no pain, but had no memories. She had simply taken a nap on the couch waiting for Artemis and Audrey and Juliet to return from the fair... Audrey! "What am I doing here, and have you touched my sister? 'Cause if you have..."

"Don't worry, you're the only one we took."

We? Took? "You kidnapped me?

"Yes."

"Well, why?"

"For the same reason Artemis Fowl the second did. We want your gold, and we intend to get it."

"Why me?"

"Timing dear elf. You were not expected back underground for a week and a day, and if you were thought to have gone back underground, then that gave us a week. We have a week to plan. A week to do all of our finishing touches on everything."

"How did you find out about Artemis's plan?"

"Let's just say, a friend gave it to us. A fairy friend."

"Who? Who told you?"

"I did," said a voice from one corner of the room.
