ATTENTION!!
Just incase you neglected to read the summary (wags a finger at you) then I
will say this again because it is IMPORTANT!! If you have NOT read Eternity
Code, and you do NOT want the story SPOILED for you, DO NOT READ THIS
STORY!! If you don't care- fine! Go ahead! Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own any characters. SURPRISE!!
A/N: Hello. Read this story ok? I promise you'll like it, and I really mean that. Because I'm not writing Mary Sue or using any original characters (I don't think. well I'm not gonna put in any perfect blonde girls who are super smart and come to rescue Artemis ok? I might make up a fairy character or a bad guy or something though.. I dunno. Ok. No original MAIN characters.. I hate those.) And guess what else? I know how to make sure characters don't loose their personalities! And I also know how to use description and have a plot!! CLAP FOR ME! Lol, j/k you don't have to. yet;) But you will. I can guarantee it. MWAHAHA! Ahem.. on with the story.
-FOWL MANOR-
Holly watched Artemis's life being written in green symbols on the screen.
"This doesn't feel right," she commented. "If he found us once, he could find us again.
Especially if he goes back to being the monster he was."
Foaly tapped commands into an ergodynamic keyboard. "Maybe. But next time we'll be ready."
Holly sighed. "It's a pity, because we were almost friends."
The centaur snorted. "Sure. Like you can be friends with a viper."
Holly suddenly shut her helmet visor, hiding her eye.
"You're right, of course. We could never have been friends. It was circumstance that pushed us together, nothing more."
Foaly patted her shoulder. "That's the girl. Keep your ears up. Where are you going?"
"Tara," replied Holly. "I'm going to fly. I need the fresh air."
"You don't have the clearance for a flight," objected Foaly. "Root will have your badge."
"For what?" said Holly, firing up her wings. "I'm not supposed to be here, remember?"
And she was gone, flying in a lazy loop through the entrance hall. She cleared the main door with inches to spare, climbing quickly into the night sky. For a second her slim frame was backlit by the full moon, and then she disappeared, vibrating out of the visible spectrum.
~Artemis Fowl: The Eternity Code
-TARA-
Speed was what she needed right now- lots of speed. She flew faster and faster as though the pressure would push out all of her stress and sadness. And so she flew- faster than she ever had before and probably faster than any fairy had flown before. If Root knew about this she would be out of the LEP faster than you could say "stink worm".
Her hair whipped against her face and tears streamed behind her. She had discarded her helmet sometime ago because it had been fogging up, but even without it the tears blurred her vision so, that she couldn't see anything past the end of her pointed nose.
Captain Holly Short dived low and pulled up only inches from the ground, although she had been considering just plowing straight into the dirt and rock and putting an end to her misery. Instead she flew lazily up to a sturdy branch protruding from an old oak tree and sat there, blinking back more tears.
She just sat there; shoulders slumped, lip quivering, big tears rolling down her cheeks and thinking. She began to sob and her sobs grew into louder moans of sorrow which turned into miserable wails that would leave your ears ringing if you happened to pass by at that moment. Holly's cries changed every now and then as memories flew through her head. Sometimes she would fall into fits of maniacal laughter or tantrums of rage in which she would stand up and beat on the tree trunk until she was too tired to continue or a new memory floated into her mind.
After about twenty minutes Holly was sure she had no more tears to cry and she simply collapsed onto the branch; her body convulsing in dry sobs. She had calmed down a bit now after using up every drop of energy that was in her. Her eye lids fell shut as she drifted into a quiet place in her mind.
"What am I doing?" said a quiet little voice, "Its not like he's died or anything. He's not totally out of my life."
"No," Holly Short confessed, "but I'll never be able to talk to him again. He won't even know I exist."
"That wouldn't have bothered you so much two years ago."
It was true, two years ago- or almost three now - Holly would have been happy to have Artemis Fowl out of her life. He had been an inconsiderate monster, poisoned by greed. He gave even Mud Men a bad name. He had tricked the fairy race out of 15 million dollars, stolen their technology and sent several officers into psychological therapy with his bigger-than-a-house body guard, Butler. The worst thing was though; she had been his pawn, his game piece, his pathetic childish toy through the whole thing!
After the Arctic Incident though, Holly had come to enjoy the boy's company- although she would never admit to it. Even if he was extremely annoying, he had changed a lot and had finally found something like feelings buried deep in his being. However, now, after the whole C Cube and Spiro affair, Holly was finding that she cared a lot more about the Fowl boy than she had thought. And now that Artemis was being mind wiped she felt as though she couldn't live knowing that Fowl didn't even know about her. Somehow she felt that Artemis had to know her; she couldn't bear to even come visit and watch him, shielded, in some secret corner of the room and have him not know of her presence.
Holly gritted her teeth. She was an LEP officer- Captain! She couldn't be lying on an old branch crying her eyes out. She would move on. She would come to Fowl Manor to see Artemis once in a while; just to see how he was doing, and she would do her job.
She stood and hopped from the branch, falling a few feet before punching a button on her humming-bird wings causing six sets of wings- three to each side - that reflected the light of the moon sending tiny rainbows dancing across the landscape and she rose into the air. Swooping low to snatch up her LEP helmet she headed back towards Haven.
-- A/N: Wow! I didn't know that I would last that long with a serious story! Actually I have full confidence in myself that I can write a good story so don't abandon me! This DOES happen to be my first serious story. and my first Artemis Fowl story! I usually write comedy for Lord of the Rings. Umm, I have to kind of build up to the story but trust me, this story has got a plot. I have a few chapters all stored up in my head right now so I just hafta write them. I'll try to get another one done now. It'll either be a full chapter taking place within Haven or part Haven and part Fowl Manor.
