Chapter 6: Opal Koboi
Opal sat in her vanity mirror chair. She was starring gracefully in her beautiful mirror as she loaded mascara on her elegant eyelashes. It was a Friday night and she usually has something to do with her time, but for some reason tonight there was just nothing to do. No parties to crash, no hotels to raid, no diamonds to be stolen, no enemies to torture…WAIT! Did I just say 'no enemies to torture?' I must be going crazy… thought Opal.
This definitely wasn't like her. She always has and enemy on her side. Just then her two pixie servants came rushing into her bedroom door.
"Is there a reason you had to disturb my thoughts?" asked a frustrated Opal.
"Sorry miss Koboi, but we thought that something might have happened to you."
"Why would you possibly think that? I wasn't doing anything tonight…"
"That's why we thought something was wrong with you."
Well…I suppose they are right for once. But she wouldn't dare to say that out loud. It would completely ruin her bad girl image.
"It's just that…I have nothing to do…" poured out Opal.
"What about Artemis Fowl?"
"What about him?"
"Nothing, it's just that isn't he your enemy. You could seek revenge."
"I could do that. But it's far to early…Wait until midnight…then we'll strike."
Meanwhile at Fowl Manor…
"Artemis…we need to talk…" said Holly.
"About the kiss or about the gold?" asked Artemis
"The ki…wait a minute, what gold?"
"As I was searching the web I recently discovered the our dear friend Opal Koboi has robed the banks of China and has over 35.6 billion dollars in gold coins. The police are trying to hunt her down, but because the police are human they are unable to find the pixie in her home. As far as I am aware of the police think that who stole the gold was a human."
"What does this have to do with us?"
"If the police do find Opal which they most likely won't, but if they do then Pixies, fairy's, dwarfs and such will be all over the news and internet and your species will no longer remain a secret. I suggest we work fast."
"I wasn't expecting this…"
"Trust me, neither was I."
"Well…I'm glad you found the information. We should be heading down to Haven. This is and emergency so you will be aloud to enter."
"Good. Now what did you want to talk to me about?"
"What do you mean?" I was hoping he wouldn't remember. Thought Holly.
"You know what I mean. When you came in, you said you wanted to talk, and that was before I mentioned Opal."
"Oh…actually I was meaning to talk to you about that kiss."
"Oh?"
"I um…I came to apologize. That night I was really upset and I was just looking for company overnight…I'm sorry, I shouldn't have."
"Apology accepted."
Just then there was a knock on the door.
"Come in." shouted Artemis.
It was Butler. "Artemis dinner is ready." said Butler. Just then he noticed that Holly was there and came fully into the bedroom. "Miss Short what a pleasant surprise! Back so soon? It's only been 3 hours since we've left."
"I know but apparently we've got another mission."
"Again?"
"Yes Butler again." Said Artemis. "I'll be down for dinner in a moment I need to tell Holly something."
"Of course."
Butler shut the door and left to go downstairs.
"What did you need to tell me?" asked Holly.
"I need to tell you that I…I um..I…"
"Yes?"
"I wanted to know if you wanted to have tea sometime…maybe tonight after diner?"
Holly found herself blushing. Is he asking me on a date?
I don't know but go for it.
There you are again. Great.
Shut up. If Holly's listening to anybody it's me.
What makes you think that?
Because I'm her heart and you're her brain. There's a 70 percent chance that's she'll follow her heart.
That's nonsense! Everyone knows that the brain is more responsible! She's not going to listen to a stupid heart!
Oh, yes she will!
Oh no she won't!
Will!
Won't!
Will!
Won't!
Will!
"Holly!" yelled Artemis.
"Yes?"
"You've been completely dazed out for the paste minute. Are you okay?"
"What? Oh, yes, sorry about that, um…I'd love to join you for tea."
Told you so.
That's it I'm leaving…for good!
Meanwhile Opal Koboi was watching Artemis and Holly's little feud on a video camera.
"Well, well, well look what we've got here." Said Opal
"Yes Opal?" asked one of the servants.
"It seems although Artemis and Holly are having a little love battle. Artemis has gotten rather cute actually."
She wouldn't say it but he was completely gorgeous! Way more then cute… She thought. That gave her the perfect plan. Since clearly Artemis and Holly know about her gold scheme she needs to make a little plan of her own. And what perfect time to do so. All she needs to do id capture Artemis while he's asleep, make him fall in love with her, and while Holly's and there little crew out searching for them she'll capture them and torture them to death! That way the police will never find her, her enemies we'll be dead and she'll have Artemis all to herself. What a perfect plan…
Oh no! What will Opal do? Will Artemis fight for Holly or fall for Opal? We'll the police ever find her? I know but you'll have to wait until next chapter!!! Please review!!!! REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!!!!!!!!! Sorry this chapter was a little short.
