ARTEMIS FOWL: A Love Story
Holly stood in front of Fowl manor, her eyes looking every inch around her, she couldn't let her guard down not when she was at Artemis Fowl's doorstep, ANYTHING, could go wrong! She watched with skill, letting her eyes adapt to her new surroundings. Taking a deep breath she reached out with her index finger pressing the button of the doorbell. She waited for a few seconds and was about to press the button again when the door opened. Holly took a step back holding her breath. Butler appeared in the door way and eyed her suspiciously. ."Yes?... how may I help you?" he asked. Holly sighed with relief realizing he had not recognized her. Was she THAT different?... sure her hair was now longer and tied up in a high ponytail, she was taller and her hazel eyes showed very little of who she truly was but...to not be recognized by Butler...THAT WAS TOO MUCH! "It's me...Holly..."she whispered .Butler's eyes narrowed and his knees bent a bit in a fighting position. I only know a holly and she's three feet tall...so who is she?... he thought
"Holly who?" he asked. Noticing his stance she took yet another step back involuntarily. "Holly, Captain Holly Short of the LEProcon unit..."she said locking eyes with him. . That's impossible!" "Didn't Artemis tell you anything?" she asked. "No…he…" he stopped himself now remembering his previous conversation. "H-Holly?" he whispered reaching out a hand. "You remember now?" she said allowing herself to grin.
Butler nodded slowly placing a hand on her shoulder. ."Captain, you seem somewhat different I wonder what it is" he said allowing himself to laugh a bit. To Holly his laugh seemed that of a long lost friend but to his enemies it seemed the laugh of a murderous man. "maybe because my hair is no longer short but long, Im not three feet tall and am here as a human" she said holding his other hand and shaking it gently. He smiled stepping aside to let her pass by "come in" he said taking the bag she had been holding throughout their whole conversation. She stepped in and looked around remembering the first time she had been in that same spot. "It's been a long time hasn't it?" Butler said with a soft smile
"Yes it has...where is Aretmis at?"she asked turning to him atlast. Buttler shrugged and started walking up the staircase in
front of him signaling her to follow. "As usual..in his study upstairs..his prent are gone for three months to a second honey moon though it
is actually their third"he answered as Holly shook her head gently "the mud boy needs to learn how to have fun" she commented to
herself. "I will show you to your room and from there you will go to Artemis' study to speak with him about what your mission is" Butler
said leading her to the end of the hall way. He opened the last door and guided her inside. "this will be your room" he said placing her
things in the bed that stood in the middle of the room. Holly looked around amazed by the beauty of it. Even though it was a simple room
for her it was luxury. A table was at the far corner,a computer sat atop of it. A door that led into her restroom stood to her right while
another that led to her closet to her left. The walls were a dark shade of green while the doors a light shade of green. At the other end of
the corner was a dark green couch with a coffee table in front of it. She smiled and turned to butler. "thank you, Butler" he nodded
walking ou the door and closing it behind him.
After settling in she walked out of her room ad started to the other end of the hallway. She now stood in front of a dark door taking deep
shallow breaths. Its okay Holly,everything will be fine...just knock on the door..you can do it...just knock... she thought building up
her courage and kncoked a few times. "Come in" she hear the cold voive say. She took a deep breath and walked in. There behind a
desk sat Artemis Fowl II typing furiously in his laptop. He looked up at her with cold,blue eyes and smirked. "Captain.." he said. "Fowl.."
she said "Welcome back once again Captain Holly Short..."
