“Well, if you like it or not, you are still going to have to sing or dance. Which do you prefer?” “Let me see…… Neither. I am going.” “You aren’t going anywhere.” I sounded like a cold voice. It was not Artemis. “The only place you are going is with me!” I looked up and saw someone overhead. Then, he took out a tranquilizer dart and shot me with it. I blacked out.

I woke up in a cold room on a cold floor. My hands and feet were bound together. I tried to say something. It sounded like I was trying to mumble something. Then I stopped. Where I have I read about this before? In the Artemis Fowl books! But this could not be him! Why would he want to kidnap me again?

“Welcome to your worst nightmare.” I knew that voice. I have heard it so many times. It was my arch enemy, Gunter! “Comfortable?” He watched me squirm. “No? Good. You can’t be comfortable. I have a few questions to ask you. One, what are you doing here? Two, do you know why I kidnapped you? And three, why are you not speaking?” He noticed that he had gagged me. When he opened the light, he thought he saw blue sparks. He rubbed his eyes and they were gone. He came towards me and took the gag out of my mouth. He saw me smile evilly. “Why are you smiling like that?” “Because. You do not know what is going to hit you. Five, four, three, two, one, zero.” Then, he fell half unconscious. “Better luck next time.” Then, I ran out of the room.

“How could anybody kidnap her under your watch! This is absurd! Let us go find her!” At this, the doorbell rang. Artemis pulled on a jacket. He opened the door. What he saw made him gasp. It was Sylvia. She had broken an arm. She had blood running down her arms and legs. Amazingly, the dress did not have a speck of blood anywhere. Sylvia fell down. Artemis caught her before she actually hit the ground. He yelled out to Butler,”Butler! Help me!” Butler came bursting through many doors(and walls). When he saw Sylvia, he called Juilet. Juilet took one look at Sylvia and dragged her into one of the many bathrooms.

“Are you all right? What happened?” These were the first things I heard when I went out. I saw Butler, and Artemis all staring at me and asking those questions. “I am all right. Just a few scratches and bruises.” “JUST A FEW?!?!?!?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!?!?!? YOU HAVE GOT SERIOUS WOUNDS ALL OVER YOU?!?!?!” “Stop shouting. I am about to go deaf.” Artemis looked over my wounds. “It looks serious. Maybe we should go to the hospital?” “No.” “She is right mud boy. If you want to go anywhere, you will have to deal with me.”

The fairy escaped! How? “Surprised mud boy? Your little friend is a traitor. She helped me escape.” I stood there shocked. I turned around and saw that Sylvia was not there. “It cannot be!” “Oh but it is mud boy. Believe it.” “I am sorry Artemis. I had to do it. The way you were treating her, I could not stand it. I had to help her escape. Butler heard the last part of our conversation. I am sorry.” I stood there. I could not believe she would do something like that! I cannot understand the female mind. I had to have revenge. I looked at Butler. I told him to do something I would never think I had to tell him.

“Butler, get her. She is a traitor.” Sylvia took a quick glance at Butler’s eyes. I did too. They had no mercy in them. Butler lurched towards Sylvia. She gave a frightening scream. I turned around so I would not have to look. Then, he went towards the fairy. She gave a scream. Butler had made a terrible wound. She used all of her magic to heal herself. She was still unconscious. Butler carried her to the room. I walked towards Sylvia. I brushed away the hair from her face. “Why? Why did you have to help her escape?” I then stood up and walked away from her. I looked back. Her eyes appeared to form tears. I turned around and never looked back.

“Butler? I have this uncomfortable feeling.” Butler was trying to get over the shock. “What is the problem? Perhaps I can help you.” “What I told you to do to Sylvia, I feel guilty. The wounds you gave her were much worse than the wounds she came back with. When you left, she appeared to be crying.” Butler was silent for a few moments. “Artemis, I had to do it. She betrayed us. You should not feel guilty.” “I am going to see what she is doing.” “I don’t think you should bother Artemis. She is hurt so badly, she can barely blink. Every time she breathes in, more tears appear.” That was Juilet. Artemis looked mortified. Artemis quickly went to the room were Sylvia was still laying. Juilet turned to Butler. “It’s amazing she survived. I mean, a two hundred pound man on a seventy-five pounded eleven-year-old is most likely to win. She even had wounds before that and she still is alive! That is one tough girl.”
