Loading ...“Is Melanie here yet, Lance?”
His voice was the same tone as Cassandra’s, if not quieter, “No, she’s not, Cassi– Cassandra! I meant to say Cassandra!”
Lance quickly panicked and not because people were staring at the pair, but because he almost called her Cassie.
Oh, c***! Only Master can call her by her first name, unless they had a death wish. I’m just glad that I didn’t finish saying… ugh! I’m too scared to even think it! If I finished saying “it” I would have been six feet under right about now.
But he quickly regained his composure and risked a peek of her expression, he instantly regretted it, “I, uh, I’m sorry. B-But she’s on her way…. I-I-I just phoned her!”
Cassandra opened her mouth to say something but the squeak of doors opening made her stop. In walked a girl about the same age as her with blonde skater styled hair and steel blue grey eyes. She was wearing an orange tank top and camo cargo pants with black combat boots.
She was out of breath and took a seat next to Lance, “Am—Am I late?”
The brunette scoffed, “Only ten minutes.”
“Sorry, Cassandra, I promise that I’ll be on time the next meeting.”
Cassandra glared at the television, but it still gave the two shivers, “You better be. Melanie.”
“D-D-Don’t worry, I’ll be there early.”
An uneasy silence washed over the group for the duration of the news broadcast on screen when Cassandra’s cell rang.
“Hello?”
“Miss Cassandra, is everybody present?”
“Yes.”
“I’m outside in front.” Her icy blue eyes drifted to the window, and sure enough, the olive green Hummer was there, “We’ll be out in two minutes.” She stood up and without looking at her companions gave a single command, “Let’s go.”
They obediently followed. The three got in the large car with Lance in front with Nigel and the girls in the back. Cassandra was emotionlessly staring out the window while Melanie was silently hoping not to do anything to upset her female colleague.

Back at Fowl Manor, Artemis and Butler went into the study and the genius was greeted by a thwack in between his eyes—or as Holly likes to call it, “her stress reliever”.
Butler caught the dazed Artemis looked at his friend, “Good afternoon, Holly.”
As Artemis regained his vision he saw a holographic Foaly. “Good afternoon to you as well, Foaly. Where is No. I and Qwan?”
“I’ll answer that for you. Qwan is still teaching No. 1 to get a hold of his powers… and besides the fact that they would attract too much attention even if Butler knew about them.” She muttered that last part so the manservant couldn’t hear.
Artemis got up and dusted off his Armani suit, “So, why have you come here?”
The fake Foaly gave him a stern look, “You know darn well why we’re here, Mud Boy.”
“I know, Butler told me all about it on the way back.”
Foaly raised an eyebrow, “On the way back from where?”
“The hospital.”
The centaur snorted, “Why? Did you get bruises from your first week as a big brother?”
He gave him a glare, “No, I was escorting a friend there because her father was injured.”
“Her? You got a girlfriend already? It’s only been a week! And besides, I thought that Minerva girl was your girlfriend?”
“No, she is not my ‘girlfriend’ and I only think of Minerva as a friend.”
Holly rolled her eyes, “Uh-huh, whatever. So—“
“That’s enough Holly. Now, I just need to ask you two a few simple questions. Have you made any phone calls today?”
“No.” Artemis answered.
“Has anyone beside you or your family made any calls today here in Fowl Manor?”
“No, not any of us, but someone did.”
“Who?”
Holly was spinning herself in the soft leather office chair and answered the question for Artemis, “A girl did…. Now what was her name again? You know, so Foaly—“
“Whoa, whoa, whoa. A girl made a call earlier today?”
Artemis nodded, “That’s why we went to the hospital. Why? Is something wrong?”
Holly bit her lip, “Well… uh, you better listen to the clip.”
In a few seconds, neither Artemis nor Butler couldn’t believe their ears! They were listening to two distorted voices that both sounded clearly male.
“Really, Master Kane?”
“Yes. Listen carefully… I now know why and how the target’s son has been untraceable for the past three years and why he has recently reappeared.”
“Oh?”
“Yes… with the aid of the eighth family of the People, the demons.”
“The People, Master?”
“Yes, we know them as fairies here aboveground.”
“They don’t live up here?”
“No, the People reside deep in the center of the Earth with very advanced technology eons ahead of ours.”
“But what do they have to do with the target’s son?”
“Everything.” There was a brief pause, “We will continue this conversation in the Ruins. And make sure you are not late.”
“Of course not, Master Kane.”
“I can always count on you… my—“
Then the see-through Foaly heaved a sigh, “Then a magma flare went up and we lost the connection. By the time it cleared up, the conversation ended. But all I can say is that the person who organized this call was pretty smart to mask both ends of the conversation and is a danger to us as well as whomever this “target” is.” He sighed, “I’m sorry, Artemis, but the prime suspect is–Artemis?”
Everybody turned to see their favorite boy genius looking out the window. Butler walked over and placed a hand on his shoulder. He whispered in his charge’s ear and even though Artemis couldn’t see his facial expression, he knew that Butler was smiling, “You really like her don’t you?”
Artemis just nodded and whispered back, “I know that it has only a day, but I feel like… like….” He sighed, “I don’t know how to explain, old friend.”
“To me?”
“Yes… and more to myself.”
“I’m sure that she didn’t do it.”
“And I hope you know that Foaly’s recording this.”
The pair spun around to see a grinning Holly and Foaly.
“Don’t worry, Mud Boy, I’m really taping this, even I would. But I just think I’ll let you have this one private moment.”
Butler rolled his eyes, “You’re so generous, Foaly.”
“I know. So, Artemis, enlighten us, who is this Mud Girl that you like?”
“Her name is Cassandra Hemlock.”
The holographic Foaly dissipated and a touchable screen came up which displayed all of Cassandra’s information… well, at least what was recorded on the Internet.

I love it!!! This is probaly one of the best stories I have ever seen!!! Great spelling and Grammer, better then the usual story. Perfect plot, who the heck is “Master Kane”? ~Gasp~ Could it be Opal?!! OH!!! That would be so strange. Remember to put a twist, or otherwise it might become a bit boring…

March 4th, 2008 at 6:14 am
Cool! Cassandra kinda reminds me of some characters that me and AYSN have done, really like it please continue!
March 4th, 2008 at 8:13 pm
WOOOHOOO an upd8!!! this is like my fave story ever (apart from Artemis Fowl of course). any ideas…er well how about cassie falls for artemis and then master kane who really likes cassie tries to ki..attack artemis or hold him hostage or something but noone can rescue artemis even the fairies as master kane knows about them and has some sort of shield against them but at the last minute cassie rescues him somehow by like (oh i don’t know) sacrificing herself or, here’s an extreme idea, bluerinsing master kane and they have a big white wedding and they all live happily ever after all live happily ever after. er…you might want to cut out the end.
I think I should stop typing now…
good luck with the rest of the story!!!!!
March 4th, 2008 at 8:15 pm
