Okay, so I was forming this into a Halloween based setting, and then I didn't get to finish it fast enough, but the plot still fits around it, so I'm just going to keep it this way anyway. Sorry it's so late! Flamers can flame all they want. Anyway, here we go- I don't own anything 'cause I suck and so on. NOW ON WITH THE STORY!

Fowl Manor was bustling loudly the day before Halloween. The Fowls were all at home, and were currently enjoying a dinner out in the garden on the south side of the manor. They had hired large amounts of men to prepare the manor for a ball they were having the next evening.

"Is the food prepared for tomorrow?" Artemis asked, swirling around the small bit of wine in his glass.

"Yes Artemis," he replied, sitting down to his own lunch.

"Will Juliet be returning for tomorrow's party?" Mrs. Fowl asked, taking a bite of her salad.

"Yes Ma'am," he said, cutting a piece off of his steak, and putting it into his mouth.

Artemis nodded, took his last sip of wine, and rose from the table.

"I've got to go meet someone," he said, and walked towards the garage.

His mother smiled, and shook her head, completely aware of who he was going to meet.

He opened the garage door, and got into his blazing yellow Lamborghini Murcielago. (Yes, I do have this strange idea of Artemis driving a Lamborghini.) He started the engine, and drove down the long driveway and out of the tall gates that were the entrance to Fowl Manor. After about twenty minutes of driving, He arrived at that sacred tree where they had first met, and saw Holly walking around, looking down at the ground.

'Obviously looking for an acorn,' he thought, getting out of the car. She heard the door close, and shot up, and around, frightened slightly by the sound.

"Oh, hello Arty," she said, as a smile appeared upon on her face, and she came over and gave him a hug.

He couldn't help but chuckle a little, and say," What have I said about using that name?"

"To not do it. That's exactly why I do," she said, laughing as well.

"Fine. Anyway, how have you been?"

"Very good. And you?"

"The same."

"Anyway, I'll be ready to go in a moment," she said, turning around and going back to looking for an acorn. A few moments later, she found one, and moved a few feet towards the bend in the river. She knelt down to the ground, and dug a small hole into it. She dropped the acorn into it, and covered it with some dirt once more. She muttered some inaudible words, and suddenly, some blue sparks traveled up both of her arms, and into her torso, then spread out to her head, and her legs.

Then, the magic penetrated into her eyes. One hazel, and one blue. Some pain then shot through her blue eye. And she looked over at Artemis. The blue sparks then shot through the air to Artemis, and entered his eyes as well. Pain shot everywhere as he let out an eardrum-shattering scream. The blue sparks then ceased to flow into Holly, and then began shooting straight at Artemis. She ran over to him, but by then, he was completely covered in the burning blue sparks. She couldn't even get near him. For minutes, she had to listen to the screams of one of her best friend, and the hiss of the magical sparks. He was in complete agony, and she could do absolutely nothing about it.

Then, the sparks began to fade away, and Artemis fell to the ground. Holly knelt beside him, shocked beyond belief. A chain with a small item formed around his neck, and she grabbed Artemis's cell phone.

She flipped it open, and pulled up Butler's contact information. She hit the call button, and waited for the response from the other side…

"Artemis, what is it?" Butler answered.

"Butler, its Holly, get over here. NOW."

Hey, sorry it's so short. Not feeling too well lately, but I'm working on catching up little by little. REVIEW OR NO UPDATES!
