Hiya! Kind of left ya'll hanging on the last chapter, sorry about that. But I can't just lose the whole entire suspense thing I'm trying hard to work and keep up. Right?
Anyway, this next chapter is in 3rd person POV, which is the regular way I right. So yeah, read and enjoy! Here's the infamous replay:
The female at the front desk handed Artemis a slip of paper that had Foaly's handwriting on it, telling the two where he is. They headed over, and entered a dim lighted white room; Foaly was sitting down at the table in the middle of the room, staring at what looked like a television screen adjacent to the door. The screen was pitch black.
Now here's today's chapter: Chapter 9: Butler's mission
"Foaly, what happened, what are we doing down here, and, what happened to your face?"
Foaly sighed. He kept the lights down for a reason. There was a bruise on the side of his face, from when Holly slapped him; he didn't want Artemis or Butler to see it. But the young man was so observant, the motion was futile.
"This is what happened Artemis." Foaly used a remote in the table to turn on the screen. On it was a white room, much smaller than the one they were in right now. Inside that room was a woman sleeping on a cot.
"Holly." Whispered Artemis. He threw an aggravated look at foaly. "Holly has claustrophobia, why did you put her in such a small room, and what is she doing in here, locked up like that."
Foaly took one question at a time, knowing that Artemis would figure it out. "Why does Holly have claustrophobia in the first place, mud boy?"
Artemis raised an eyebrow at Foaly, "Her mother was killed in a small space, and now, every time that Holly's in a small space, it reminds her of her mother, and she starts to freak out."
"What would be the only way to fix her claustrophobia?"
"Therapy, but Holly has gone several years like this, why would she be taking ther-"
"Besides therapy." Foaly interrupted.
Artemis thought about this for a moment. After a while, he finally said, "If she forgot about it."
Foaly looked Artemis in the eye, "Exactly, and that's why she's in there. She doesn't remember anything before waking up in my office yesterday. She doesn't know who I am, who you are, who Butler is. She attacked me yesterday!"
"She doesn't remember anything?" Artemis repeated.
"Nothing, and what's more is, take a look at her wrists." He pointed to the screen.
Artemis walked up to the screen, until now, he had refrained from looking at it. Once he saw the deep bruises on her wrists he turned away, shaking his head.
"Take me to the room she's in now." He said.
"Why?"
"Because Foaly, have you ever wondered that me just being there might give her recall? I am her best friend."
Foaly thought about this for a moment, "Fine, you can go in there. But Butler and I have to come back. Nobody is supposed to be over in that wing, but it might be Holly's only chance."
Foaly led the two mud men down the hallway. It was a short walk, the room was right down the hall. Before Artemis went in, Foaly and Butler went back to the other room, no doubt, to watched what happens. Artemis smirked at this thought. They aren't going to be watching anything. Artemis had give Butler instructions, and he knew that Butler would succeed in his mission.
When Foaly and Butler got back to the dim lighted, white room (oh yeah, that's it's name, I'm soooo original) Butler got immediately to work on what Artemis had instructed him to do. Artemis hadn't gone in yet, so Butler crossed over to the plug, and when Artemis had only taken a few steps into the room where Holly was in, before Butler ripped the plug out of the outlet, and stamped on it. Then, while Foaly was freaking out, Butler took out a handheld computer that Artemis had given him, and turned off all of the camera's inside of the building they were in.
Foaly was still freaking out, but hadn't even checked the plug yet, when Butler said, "What happened?"
"I don't know." Replied the centaur, a very rare moment indeed, "looks like the screen fizzed out."
Foaly kept looking at the wires in the back of the screen for a few more minutes, when Butler spoke again, "Artemis should be done talking to Holly by now, lets just go see if it worked."
Foaly huffed, wanting to know what went wrong with the screen, but agreed with Butler, as he led him to the room Artemis and Holly were in. They waited for what seemed like forever, but the door opened to reveal Artemis, and a bright eyed Holly that came at Foaly. Foaly flinched, thinking he was going to be attacked again. But Holly just came up to him, and hugged him.
"Sorry I beat you up Foaly."
Foaly laughed, "It's ok, you weren't yourself."
She laughed too, a sad laugh, and that was when something terrible happened.
Yet again, another Cliffhanger! MWAHAHAHA! Sometimes I wonder if I'm just as terrible as Opal. Haha! Anyway, write again later!
Don't worry about the big gap of how Artemis reacted to Holly, and what he did to make her remember, that's next chapter. Can you guess? 1 million points if you get it right!
Now, here's the big lotto question of the next week or two, at the end of this chapter, I said something terrible happened, can you guess what it is? 1 million points if you guess, and 4 million more if you get it right!
I am counting, winner to whoever gets the most points at the end of story! Top 2 Winners gets to choose name and characteristics of new characters of my next fanfic for Artemis Fowl!) So at least try to guess! check my profile for rules and more info! So at least try to guess!
DISCLAIMER: I am not Eion Colfier, I do not own any of the Artemis Fowl characters, just "The Biggest rescue's" plot. THNX!
(Sometimes I wonder if I just write these to write the A/N at the end, they're always soooo long!)
