WARNING! THE CHAPTER HAS VIOLENCE. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Artemis's P.O.V

I quickly run to the living room and attach an adrenaline patch to Butler to wake him up. He wakes almost immediately. I summarize what has happened and go back to my room, to see if there were any trackers that Butler had put on Luna when she was unconscious. I find none.

I call Foaly, "ARTEMIS! WHAT TIME DO YOU CALL THIS?! I WAS GETTING SOME SLEEP! DO YOU KNOW HOW RARE THAT IS AROUND HERE?!" he screeches through the phone, "SHUT UP FOALY! WE HAVE SOMETHING MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THAN SLEEPING! OPAL KOBOI HAS LUNA! ZIP IT AND START TRACKING, NOW!" I yell back at him. He immediately zips it and gets typing.

"I have eyes on them." "Where?" "I don't know. The location bar is blocked." I sigh, "What's going on?" "They seem to be in some kind of argument." He reports, "What are they saying?" I demand, "Don't know. Can't risk getting the sound on in case those pixie ears of hers pick up anything." He shares, "Make sure Koboi doesn't try anything. Surroundings?" "Cold, forest, mountain range." "Got it. I'll get some eyes of my own in there. Hopefully I can get some ears in too." I shut the call and get some of my own eyes in there. I send them everywhere I can think of that's cold, has a forest and a mountain range.

Luna's P.O.V

I blink and find myself in a frozen wasteland. I turn to find the humanoid creature standing behind me. "What do you want from me?" I demand, "I don't want anything from you, stupid Mud Girl! You're going to bring me what I want, simply by me giving little Arty a little, well, I would say push in the right direction, but it's going to be more of a shove off of a cliff!" the evil fairy (I think that's what she is?!) giggles. I get a terrible idea, that might work or kill me. I'll guess I'll find out. I give her a trademark Fowl Scowl. Yup, you heard me. I've been practicing his scowl in the mirror until I get almost a copy of it. The Act, begin.

"You really are stupid, aren't you?" I sneer in Artemis's Irish accent, "What?!" she stumbles back in shock, "You've got the wrong person. I'm glad my contact lenses convinced you.", "NOT POSSIBLE! YOU ARE LUNA MERCURY!" she screeches, "Incorrect. She is in my room and sleeping. I switched her room at the last minute when I found out what you were planning." I lie, "Then how did she know my name?" she shoots back, "I told her to say that if she saw a homicidal kidnapping fairy. Face the facts. You got the wrong human." I sneer, hoping that she would let me go, "If you really are Artemis Fowl the Second, what is my first name?" Yikes, wasn't expecting that. Just then, another fairy bursts into the room, "Queen Opal Koboi. I was seeing if your plan was going accordingly." So, the enemy has a name. Opal Koboi. "YOU FOOL! GET OUT AND LOCK THE DOOR BEFORE I INCINERATE YOU!!!" she screams at the poor guy, although he probably is a crony of hers. "As I was saying, Opal, face the facts. You've got the wrong human." She then looks at me with a dumbfounded expression, then laughs, "Then, perhaps, you, are the stupid one. But I will still drag your girlfriend over here-" "NOT MY GIRLFRIEND. MY HOSTAGE." I interrupt, "Your 'hostage' over here and you will watch her suffer until she dies. Then, I will kill your Mother, your Father, your brothers, Butler, Captain Short and finally, you" she finishes. "That's a lot of murders. Are you sure you don't need to see a psychiatrist?" I taunt, "No. But you might need to see one after you see all the murders." She then pauses and adds, "Now, won't you sit in that nice chair over there? The one with the handcuffs? It's very comfy. Go on." She says in a sweet mellow voice; I immediately do as she says.

WARNING! PAST THIS LINE ARE MENTIONS OF VIOLENCE, BLOOD, MENTAL ABUSE, ET CETERA. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK. I WILL PUT ANOTHER LINE TO INDICATE WHERE THE VIOLENCE WILL END. SORRY ABOUT THIS.

As soon as I sit, a robotic arm stretches my left arm out as far as it can go. I snap out of the trance that she put me in and try to yank my arm out, but to no avail. Koboi then takes a very sharp knife and puts it to the skin of my wrist. "What are you doing?!" I say in a panicked voice, "Just giving you a nice 'makeover'. You'll look really cool with your new scars!" she screeches menacingly. I jerk my arm away more forcefully, but to no avail. The robotic arm had an iron grip on me. Then, she begins, cutting deep into my wrist. As she does so, a symphony of pain rang out through my head screeching, yelling, screaming, shouting in agony as she plunges the knife deeper and deeper. I can just hear her, telling me how useless I am, how I will be hopeless, how I could never hope to succeed in loving 'Luna'. She thought she was talking to Artemis. That was the only thing I had beaten her in. the only thing that stops me from going insane from the pain, now is definitely not a time for rhyming.

Blood is starting to flow from my forearm, running all over the floor, I can't focus on anything anymore, except the cacophony of pure agony in my head.

Deeper and deeper, she plunges the knife

Nearer and nearer, the end of my life

End it, end me please, I want to beg her

But I can't say a thing, so I just scream louder

My blood is running

My stomach is churning

The only definition is

Agony.

Lying on my deathbed

Roses are red

Blood is too

Come on Artemis, where are you?












YOU CAN READ PAST HERE NOW. SORRY ABOUT THAT. IF YOU WANT A SUMMARY, OPAL TORTURED LUNA AND SAID MEAN THINGS TO HER, THINKING SHE WAS ARTEMIS. ALSO, I MADE UP THAT POEM MYSELF.... I FEEL DARK.

Artemis's P.O.V

I can't believe it. I don't want to believe it. Opal is torturing her. Anger is building up inside of me, rage like a volcano. I have the location. The Alpines, Philippines. I go there at once.
