Yay! Reviews! I got a bunch and one erm... interesting review
i luv any reviews! yay reviews!
"So, you're saying that Holly disappeared?" Audrey had been staring at Foaly for what seemed like ages. They all, along with Juliet were standing in Foaly's control room.
"Unless she went somewhere else, but that's not Holly." Trouble was having almost as much trouble taking it in as Audrey.
"This isn't right!" Audrey cried. "She should be here, with us! Where is she?" she called up into the roof. "Where are you Holly?" she whispered. Juliet put her hand around the troubled teenager.
Something on Foaly's computer beeped. A box popped up on the screen. He stared at it. "Guy's," he said. "You're not going to believe this..."
Holly squinted into the darkness. She couldn't make out the figure. She gasped. She couldn't believe it, it couldn't be happening, it was all horrible it was..
"Don't worry, he's not really a bad person."
Holly squinted into commander Root's eyes. They were loaded with the mesmer. "Who helped you?" She asked.
"I did," said the voice of Ark Sool coming into the room.
Holly could do nothing but stare. "You?" she asked. Root was alive! Helping the enemy? He was under the mesmer! But helping the enemy?
"Yes," said Sool. "Me."
"What is it Foaly? What's wrong?" Audrey asked. Artemis hadn't spoken since Trouble Kelp had brought them here. He was thinking. Holly disappeared, again, and no one knew where she had gone. Sure, last time it had been himself kidnapping her, but...
"Holly's been kidnapped," Foaly said gravely. Audrey stared.
"What?"
"Holly's being held for ransom."
Trouble looked at Artemis. "Hey, It wasn't me, honest. I have nothing to do with this." It was true this time.
"No, but they had help from a fairy. Listen," Foaly read aloud from the screen, "We know of what you have, and have to do from a 'friend'. A fairy friend" Foaly emphasized the last two words. "They're in total control now," he said gravely.
"No!" Audrey yelled. "We have Artemis! It was his plan last time, right?"
"My plan was fool proof. As long as I could escape the time field, I won."
Audrey smiled. "Then, all we have to do is not give them a time field. We take away there internet connection, freeze there TV screens, blah blah blah, they conk themselves out, after they've given Holly back, blah blah blah, we get in there and steal the gold back."
Artemis stared. She was right, it actually might work. It was amazing! Sure, they needed to tend to some minor details, nothing he couldn't get to... had this girl really come up with a plan in under thirty seconds? She had simply had a brain wave, and it was a good one that would work?
"Well Artemis? Can you do it?"
Everyone was looking at him now. He gave a brief smile. "I think so."
Holly tried to take in everything that had happened in the past ten minutes.
1. She had been kidnapped
2. Root was alive!
3. Sool was working for the enemy
4. Root was alive!
5. She had been kidnapped? That didn't make any sense!
6. Root was alive!
Okay. So she only really got across three basic points in that six. She needed to try again.
1. She had been kidnapped
2. She was being held ransom
3. Root was alive
4. Under the mesmer
5. And at the moment, working for the enemy.
6. Sool was bad
7. Audrey thought that she had abandoned her, oh god that's really not what she needed right now
8. No one was going to come looking for her for a while.
9. She was in some sort of cell... could she get out?
It was this last fact that made her smile. Holly jumped up. Obviously the people who had done this to her had missed one important concept. They had forgotten to tell her to stay on her cot... bed whatever. She was about to jump out the window and into the street, when the man came bursting into her room. "You are to stay... in this room," he gasped. Holly groaned. Her one plan. Great.
Audrey walked up to Artemis. "How's it coming?"
"Alright," he said gruffly. Artemis didn't like to be interrupted when he was planning. And, the plan was coming good. It would have taken him hours to come up with this plan, it was extraordinary. Audrey got up and went back into the living room. They all, including Foaly, were at Fowl Manor. Her guitar could be heard down the hall. Artemis got up and closed the door. Now, back to the plan...
"So Artemis, what are we going to do?" Audrey's inpatientness had taken over her, Artemis thought. Inpatientness? What was wrong with him?
He coughed. "Well, we'll have to see what they want. Audrey, you and me are going to go talk to these people. We'll negotiate with them, and then take the next appropriate step. That's all I'll tell you for now, and we'll see what happens."
Audrey nodded. She looked at Foaly. "Load me up."
Okay, I had a major brain wave and so now Root is alive yay clapclapclap. So, rr and enjoy, give me advise, cause I probably made a million mistakes.
