Okay, Laura MAY be taken out of captivity this chapter, I'm not sure. Well, I'll just let you read and see.
My eyes fluttered open, and I squinted at the bright light in my face. "Oh, you're finally awake I see." Corrine crackled. I shook my head and finally got a good look at the pixie. She was small for an average pixie, but she may still be young. She had long auburn hair, bright green eyes, and she wore a blood red mid-thigh dress with spaghetti straps. I glared at her, and tried to move, but I was tied to a chair.
"What do you want from me?" I screeched. She smiled and laughed slightly.
"What do I want from you? Nothing, what I want is to get back at Artemis Fowl, for putting my dear aunt in captivity, of course," She laughed as if I was stupid. I frowned.
"Why me then, why not someone else?" I asked, staring at the young pixie. A smile plastered across her face.
"Because, if my plan backfires, you're always worth something," She responded sweetly, dragging her long nail across my face, letting the cut she created bleed. "Oh, that's right; your magic is out, because of whom? Right, Mr. Andy Williams, also, part pixie, and my future husband," She giggled, and sat down in a swivel chair. Now, let's see what Mr. Fowl wants.
My eyes widened. Artemis… Artemis is going to save me, I know it! Corrine typed something into the computer and a link came up.
"Ah, I should have known the niece would get revenge," Artemis stated, trying to see past Corrine.
"You can't see her yet you imbecile…" Corrine rolled her eyes.
"Artemis, can you hea-" a hand flew across my face. I winced slightly but continued despite the pain. "Artemis, help me, please!" I yelled out. The next thing I new I was being dragged out of the room and immense pain came to my left arm.
Artemis
I had finally got connection, when a pixie, or rather Corrine Wittier, the pixie's, face popped up on the screen. "Ah, I should have known the niece would get revenge," I stated sourly, straining my neck to see if I could spot Laura behind her.
"You can't see her yet you imbecile," Corrine said angrily, rolling her eyes while she was at it. Then I heard a bit of static and the line went dark, but I could still hear her, I could hear Laura.
"Artemis, help me, please!" She yelled out, her voice hoarse and dry. I tried to respond, but, I couldn't, I couldn't respond to her.
"L-Laura," I stuttered, swallowing hard. "I'll get you out of there, I promise."
I really hope that I don't break that promise, but, I never said that it would be if she was alive or dead…
I composed myself as the screen came back to life. "So, your little girlfriend is alive, for now, at least," Corrine stated, rubbing her wrist. "But, she is in bad condition. Likely chances she'll have medical problems for years."
I clenched my fists, why was I so angry with her, this isn't normal for me. But, she has something of mine.
And I want it back.
"Corrine, I believe you have something of mine, and I'll be sure I get it back," I stated coolly, shooting daggers into the camera.
"Hm… Andy, why don't you bring her out, Miss White," Corrine ordered. I could finally see her, and she wasn't as pretty and perfect as I saw her last. Her black hair was matted with blood, she had scrapes all over her body, and her left leg and arm were broken. She lifted her head and I almost stumbled back from the screen, but I held my guard. Her face had, blood coming from recent cuts, streaming down her face, and her eyes were pleading and a dark grey. Her mouth opened, but she closed it quickly. Then she mouthed the words "help me" and she collapsed in a heap on the ground.
"I'm coming to get her Corrine," I promised, shutting off the browser. She would need medical attention after this charade was up. And, I'll make sure that the LEP provide that. Right now though, I need to make a call…
Laura
I was in my room again. I stared at the white wall, my face drained of color and emotions. How can I escape? I bit my lip and frowned. There has to be some way… I walked over to a wall (the one closest to me) and started tapping on it looking for hollow points. I went around the room, tapping the walls and listening for hollowness.
I was about to give up and go back to the drawing board when I tapped on the wall. I heard shuffling from the other side, and small fingers came through a tiny tear in the white fluffy fabric. I jumped back, and put a hand over my mouth to keep from screaming. I shook my head, and placed a finger on the, now hand, that was there.
"Hello?" I whispered, kneeling down and trying to look through the hole in the wall. The hand retreated, and was replaced with an eye looking back at me.
"Bonjour," The male child like voice responded in French, blinking at the sight of me. He spoke French, but I don't have any magic left… so no gift of tongues…
"Do you speak English?" I asked the boy. He blinked.
"Little bit," He responded, his voice heavy with a French accent.
"Okay, who are you?" I questioned simply.
"Theo," The boy responded. "You, who are you?"
"I'm Laura, Laura White, very nice to meet you Theo," I stated. He looked confused for a second, then nodded. "Do you know where we are?"
"Monte Carlo," The boy responded. I nodded, near Paris, good.
"Why are you here?" I asked.
"I am, outside, in road, you are inside brick building, there is missing brick here," He stated.
"Are the rest loose?" I asked hurriedly.
"I check," Theo responded, standing up. He sat down again a second later. "Yes, enough for small person to get out,"
"Thank you, Theo, that is very useful information," I thanked him. "I would express my gratitude, but I am in a sticky situation at the moment. Would you leave your last name with me, so I can repay you someday?"
"Renoldy, my name is Theo Renoldy," He stated, looking at me oddly.
"Thank you again Theo, I will be sure to repay you," I almost for got. "One more favor, could you loosen the bricks up some more, it will make for a quick escape, if needed,"
Theo nodded, and did that. "I owe you," Theo said. I looked at him oddly.
"Why is that?" I asked.
"Looking into your eyes… they are midnight blue, beautiful color," Theo stated. "I am painter, look me up sometime." With that, he got up, and walked away.
I sat there, silent. I didn't move until I only heard the still night air. I smiled; my eyes are back to their normal color… and I was just complemented from a boy, or teenager, who I don't even know, or have heard of… I shook my head, and stood up, making my way to the middle of the room.
I sat down, letting my arm and leg relax. Now, I just have to come up with an escape plan…
I hope you liked it! Haha, I can add Theo in again if anyone wants. Well, anyways, tell me what you thought of it! I love all my fans! OH, I almost forgot, I changed up chapter 10 slightly, with Gianna's part. You can look back if you want, but it doesn't exactly matter. Review, even if you don't have an account!
