Chapter 2

Disclaimer: Yet again don't own AF or MIB

After dinner Artemis crawled upstairs to his room. As tired as he was, Artemis still wanted to print out the info on that one company, MIB. I wonder what MIB stands for, thought Artemis while walking down the hall.

When Artemis got to his room he turned on the light. Then he walked over to his computer. After he got there Artemis logged back on to his computer and opened the net page. Hmm, I wonder why this page never showed up before, I've done a lot of searches similar to this and nothing like this showed up. That is, nothing like this has shown up before I added fairy magic to my computer. Artemis just stared at the screen with a look that said he was thinking.

He decided he would print off the information and call Holly about it later. When he looked at his clock again it read 9:45. Seeing it was sort of late and he was more tired than usual Artemis printed off the page and hid it in the secret compartment with the communicator. Then he walked over to his dresser and put on his silk business ties pajamas, and crawled into his bed. Falling asleep instantly.

It had barley been an hour when Artemis awoke to his mother standing over him with what looked like a knife. She looked like she'd just seen a Pillsbury commercial. How she hated that dough boy. He saw her eyes and had a good but illogical idea of what had happened to her.

" Mother?" Artemis stammered. " What are you doing?"

" I'm doing what the nice voice told me to do, honey." But he's your son. But the nice voice said this would tickle him. The nice voice wouldn't lie.

" Wouldn't you like to reconsider this?"

" No, honey, I don't think so." And Angeline Fowl brought the knife down.

"BUTLER!" Artemis yelled dodging the knife by a few inches by moving his head. Naturally Butler ran into the room. Seeing that Mrs. Fowl was going insane (again) he grabbed her around the waist and pulled her off Artemis.

" Run!" Butler yelled. Artemis didn't waste time to argue, but first he ran to his computer desk and grabbed the communicator while also accidentally grabbing the page he had printed off earlier that night. After that, he ran out of the room to the closet and locked himself in. It was the closet Butler had specially designed in case Artemis needed to hide for some reason. Two feet thick solid steel. Fire proof and bullet proof.

After Artemis had left, Butler was still dealing with the flailing Mrs. Fowl. Once Butler had gotten the knife away from her he tried to reason with her to get her to sit down. That obviously failed because she picked up Artemis's nightstand, which is quite amazing considering her small body size. Then she hit Butler over the head with it, knocking Butler out. After that was done she continued down the hallway searching for her son.

Artemis, scared to death in his little closet, was trying to get a hold of Holly.

" Holly, come in. Holly, do you hear me? Holly, pick up!" Finally after trying for what seemed half an hour there was a response.

" Artemis, what the heck is going on? You sound like one of those annoying squeaky toys. I'm on my vacation here."

" I apologize, it is just that my mother has gone insane with a knife and-" BOOM BOOM there was a knock on the door. " Butler is that you?"

" Yes, Artemis. you need to come out now your mother would like to see you. She's better now. So you should come out."

" I think I will stay in here."

" Then I'll have to come and get you. With force." Frankly that was all the proof Artemis needed. Every one in his house was going crazy.

" Oh, and one more thing, Holly, Butler's also gone insane. So a little help would be appreciated."

" I'm on my way. Wait. Give me permission to enter the house."

" Holly, if I live through this, you can enter the house any time you like."

" I'm on my way."

On Holly's end, she was actually having a good time in the forest. She wasn't really on vacation. She was really working on a case that got her to come above ground. Something that she was thankful for.

After getting Artemis's call Holly pulled some not-exactly-legal wings from her backpack and a not-exactly-legal new weapon. Foaly was such a good friend. She set the gun for low power and was off. Unfortunately, she didn't have anything to make her invisible so she would have to fly fast. I just know Sool is going to get me for this.

Back to Artemis. Although the door was fire proof and bullet proof Artemis did not think it was Butler proof. While he was "sitting" in the back corner behind all the cloths he was also thinking. They've been mesmerized. No that's impossible I didn't give any fairy, but Holly to enter and that was 10 minutes ago, 11 before every one in the house went insane. But who's to say my parents told them they could come in by accident? While Artemis was thinking of how in the world his mother, got mesmerized and how Butler got mesmerized with in minutes of his mother Butler was trying to get through the door he had designed to protect Artemis. After awhile Artemis stopped hearing the banging at the door. A few minutes later he heard a tick tick tick tick sound. Oh crap. Artemis thought. BOOM!

A little hole was blown in the door. The mini bombs we have in the basement, I knew I should have put a lock on those. Then Butler's bloody hand reached in and unlocked the door with ease. Between the door creaking open and the roar of the chainsaw, Artemis swore he saw his short life flashing before his eyes.

The door was all the way open. Butler had the same look in his eyes as his mother did. Only it was a lot more scarier because he was 7 feet tall, had hands were bloody for some unknown and sickening reason, and he had a chainsaw. Most people would consider this a bad combination.

" Artemis, you'll pay for talking back to me today." Artemis was at a lost for words. He severely disliked it when this happened.

Yet he still managed,"Are you sure what I said would be counted as talking back?" Butler had started walking in the room. Thankfully Holly flew in and started shooting everywhere randomly. After missing Artemis by a miracle…. several times, Holly finally hit Butler. A rage of electricity surged through his body and knocked him out (barely).

" Are you alright Artemis?" Holly asked.

" Yes, I think I'm alright. How'd you get here so fast?"

" You seem to have this thing for luck, Mud Boy. I was above ground at the time. Come on we should get out of here, and get a hold of Foaly. Maybe he can shed light on what happened."
