Fowl Manor
Artemis strode into his study, freshly dressed in a suit and his favorite loafers. A small clock on the wall said it was six-thirty a.m. His invention, a time travel component for his C-Cube, was almost finished. So before the day got too busy, Artemis decided it would be best to brainstorm now. Sitting down at his desk, Artemis massaged his temples, preparing to enter a deep state of concentration. Just as Artemis was starting to slip away, something distracted him and pulled him back to full consciousness. It was his fairy communicator buzzing, alerting him that he had a call. It was important to talk to Holly, so he answered it grudgingly.
"Hello." Artemis said rather gruffly.
"Help!" a voice cried on the other line.
Instantly realizing it was not Holly who had called him, Artemis became extremely suspicious. It was a two way communicator, and no one else had access to his line. Besides that, the female voice had sounded terrified. Despite his curiosity, Artemis decided it would be best to act uninterested.
"Who are you?" Artemis asked nonchalantly.
"Jade. My name is Jade." came the quiet reply.
"Alright Jade, can you tell me how you got this number?" Artemis inquired.
"No, I don't know." Jade said quickly. "Help me!" she cried.
"Why do you need help?" Artemis asked.
"It's chasing me. I keep seeing it everywhere I go." Jade said quietly.
"What is it?" Artemis asked, sounding annoyed.
"I don't know. It's small, only like three and a half feet tall. It's really hairy, and its ears are pointy." Jade said quickly.
"Are you sure you are not just imagining a monster under your bed?" Artemis asked patronizingly.
"Yes, I'm sure." Jade snapped.
"Alright, I was just making sure." Artemis said with a smirk. "Where do you live?"
"I live on Old Road outside of Tara, Ireland." Jade replied. "Its back!" came the frantic whisper.
"What..." Artemis began.
Artemis was interrupted by the sound of static as the connection was lost. What was that all about? Artemis wondered. Ah well, back to business Artemis thought, shaking his head.
