Back in Time.

Chapter 6: Did They Know?

Nadine's POV:

I finished singing... Well, mom used to sing those two on us... I'm including Ciel, of course... The song was originally a gnommish, just translated... I turned back the guitar, stretch a little and got out of the room... I saw Juliet and Butler standing near the music room door...

"Good evening... I thought you two are sleeping, though it’s still early for that... I hope my noisiness didn't disturb you..."

"No, you’re actually great!" Butler said and Juliet claps as she come near me and hugs me.

"I didn't hear that song before. Did you make it? I think Artemis have a rival on music now." Juliet exclaimed.

"Gahh, let go, please... And no... Artemis said that he plays all the instruments there; I just played piano and guitar. And yes I made those songs." Another lie... I know how to play those instruments, dad knows too it’s just that, that's not his passion, well, music is mine...

"Well, Artemis and Ho..." Juliet said then Butler hurriedly interrupts...

"Artemis was also amazed. He rushes to the door and saw you playing"

Wait... What?! Dad saw me, Juliet almost said mom's name. D'arvit!  I thought they will be in the room or office chit-chatting. Oh no.

Artemis' POV:

Holly was walking back and forth, this is the first time I see her like this. I was in front of my laptop, sending a picture of the fairy communicator.

"Holly, would you please seat and calm down. I know you're too surprised that she knows those songs but doing that won't help you."

"I may seat but I can’t calm down... Doing these will help me 'calm down'!"

I turned back as Foaly appeared on the screen.

"Hello, Artemis and... Holly... What are you doing?" Then Holly came close.

"There is a mud woman here in Fowl Manor who knows an elfin song. The songs my mother used to sang on me, to be exact."

"What? Will you please explain thoroughly?" Foaly said.

"Her name is Dianne Wolf, that’s what she said. Butler found her yesterday evening outside the gates and we take care of her for now, she doesn’t remember anything, except her name, age, her brother's name... I searched and hacked files of missing person all throughout country, nothing comes matched until I searched for the files of dead people and there is one, but the file is still unconvincing so we still have to wait for her to remember her memories." I explained.

"She has a fairy communicator... Artemis believed it was a fairy communicator." Holly said while calming down.

"And that's what you send."

"You didn't look at it?" I asked.

"That’s the actual reason why I called, to know what you send."

"D'arvit Foaly! When I come back there, I will skin you alive!"

"Hey Holly, can you calm down! I'll look at the picture for a second."

There's a pause and Foaly's looking at the picture intently.

"Can you send me a picture of this Mud Woman."

"Sure."

I take another snapshot of Dianne on the camera installed in her room and send it to Foaly.

"This girl really looks like you Holly."

"I know, and I wonder why." Holly said.

"What do you feel when you saw her?"
