I'M SOOO SORRY EVERYONE! I don't mean to put Laura under so much pain, but that's what has to be done, for the story at least. It breaks my heart to put her through so much pain and suffering! Also, once the story line plays out, you WILL understand why Artemis did nothing. Remember, he is always two steps ahead! Again, sorry…but it had to happen! Still does. Also, thanks to the reviewers! I love you all!

I awoke to a pounding headache and wrist restraints and ankle restraints still on. But something was different. I could move… I sat up in bed, or rather rolled on my side and used my elbow to push my self up against the end of the bed. I rolled off and some lights came on as I did so. The room was pure white and cushioned, like one of those insane rooms in mental hospitals. There was a bed, a sink, toilet, and a small table with a glass of water and, what looked like, stale bread. I swung my legs off the bed, and stood up, but immediately collapsed in a heap on the floor.

My wrist restraints got tighter, and blood started to come from beneath it. Hot, sticky, mahogany colored blood, slipped down my arms, and landed on the perfectly white floor. I tried to stand again, and let out a sharp screech. My leg was broken, and I had no magic left. I must have used the last of it when Andy broke a piece of bone off my arm. I tried standing on one leg, I was just a little wobbly, but I managed. I hopped over to the table, and knelt down, using my good leg. I grabbed the glass of water and sipped it, who knows if the water from the sink is even clean. And only took tiny pieces of the bread. Even though my stomach screamed for more food, I held back the urge to eat more. How would I know when I ate next?

I swallowed the small piece of bread that I took, and brought the rest back to my bed. I placed them on the table that held the lamp, and curled up on the bed, studying the cuts and scars on my arms and legs. My broken leg was set, but nothing held it in place. So, I took my pillow and the sheet, ripped the sheet, and placed the pillow under my leg. I then took the ripped sheet and tied it around my leg and tied it to make a make-shift cast. I lie back, and put the rest of it on top of me. Might as well sleep, there is nothing better to do.

Sleep never came… and I found myself thinking about Artemis… why didn't he do anything? Why didn't anyone do anything? Holly was there, I know she was, but why… I thought they were my friends… I thought I was… I was worth more to Artemis than a mere bargain. I though we had something…

I found myself thinking about what Corrine said. "He never loved you, Laura, never will…" Was that true? He never even liked me? Was I just a stupid pawn in his…stupid plan? I sighed. I'm coming up with more questions than answers…

"Well, answer them then," I said allowed. My voice hoarse and my tongue try. How long have I been here? That's what I'll start with… how long…

Gianna

"What do you mean she is gone, Artemis!" I exclaimed at the young genius. He sighed, and rubbed his temple.

"Miss. Wright, what I am saying, is that your charge is gone, but, do not be alarmed, I have things, as you would say, under control," Artemis responded.

"I knew this was a bad idea, but Mrs. White insisted!" I yelled to myself. I sat down on one of the sofas in the hotel suite, and looked at my hands. "I have to call her."

"Who might that be Gianna?" Domovoi asked.

"Mrs. White, I have to tell her that her daughter was kidnapped!" I stated, grabbing my phone from the table. Artemis grabbed the phone from my hands and took the battery out.

"I'm sorry, but we can't have her mother knowing about this," Artemis stated, his voice low and cold.

"B-but," I tried. Domovoi sat down next to me on the sofa, and put an arm around me.

"Just trust him; he hasn't been wrong yet…" Domovoi said to me. I felt the anger bubbling inside of me, he is the cause of this, Artemis Fowl, is the cause for my charges kidnapping.

"Mrs. Wright…do you believe in fairies?" Artemis asked, out of the blue.

"Uh…"I tried calming myself and steadying my voice before I spoke. "I guess, I mean, Mrs. White is partially one, I've known her almost all of my life. So, I guess that is a yes, I do believe in fairies."

"Good," Artemis grinned, his trademark vampire grin. Somehow, in some way, I'll figure out what he is up to, I'll figure out why Artemis needed Laura...

"You better get her back, Artemis, otherwise, you're digging your own grave, if you don't" I stated. I can't trust this boy, not even for a second. I swear, if he doesn't get Laura back, he will be digging his own grave…

Laura

At least a day, that's how long I've been out. Telling from how hungry I was and how dry my mouth was. It was only a day. And I have a feeling that this isn't going to last till the end of today, more like a couple of days, at the max. They wouldn't keep me more than that; would they?

I sighed. If I know Corrine Wittier, it means that I'm not getting out without a fight. A tear trickled from the pit of my eye and I whipped it away. I'm not going to let her get to me! I'm not going to let the pixie get to me! I won't let her fill my head with lies! Or at least, I think I won't…

But, what I do know is that Artemis does, indeed, care for me. He was just being reasonable when he didn't do anything, right?

-o-o-

It had been at least two days and I barely moved. I had hardly eaten and had only used the bathroom three times. I sipped water when I got thirsty and tested the sink a couple of times, the water was clean, thankfully, but I still only drank a little bit. The weird thing was though, that the room seemed to get colder, each day I was there. The first day I was there, it was room temperature, second day just a bit colder, third, well you get the picture.

I guess when I was sleeping sometime; they came in and supplied me with sweats and another piece of bread, stale, but better than nothing. I put them on over my shorts and laid down again on the bed. But, instead of sleep, I found myself lost in thought. Something that often occupied hours of my day, or my night, I'm still not sure. It only seemed like minutes to me, but I'm sure it was hours. Hours and hours of endless thinking.

Corrine came in every once in awhile, to leave a cut, and fill my head with lies. The thing is, I started to believe some of them. It didn't even seem like Artemis liked me, now that I have an endless amount of time to think about it. He never showed any signs of ever being interested in me… except on our, so called, "date".

I sighed, and winced slightly as a shot of pain went through my leg. I shook my head and closed my eyes. I wish I could cry, but I have to be strong and show that I am not a weakling. Or, maybe I am for being strong… and maybe I'm selfish for only thinking about my own pain and suffering. What about mum and dad? They are worried I bet, and same with the LEP, or maybe that's just wishful thinking… or am I selfish for not thinking about their feelings as well? I shook my head and accidently pulled my arms apart causing my restraints on my hands to tighten and bleed. I'm surprised that it hasn't crushed the bone by now; I let out a yelp when it tightened more.

"Why…?" Was all I said to the ceiling of the room. I curled up, careful not to pull on the restraints, and fell asleep.

WOW… these are coming quickly… three in three. Haha! Anyways, there should be one or two chapters left of Laura in captivity. Oh, and you really got to see her thoughts… Now… how should I have it end? Hm…Well, review and tell me what you thought!
