Artemis Fowl and the Girl with Power Over him

Payback

A/N I've given up on doing these authors notes. I know that the Antagonist (read to find out who) is in therapy, but let's pretend that they aren't...Sorry about that. If you haven't read Artemis Fowl, then ignore this part.

3rd Person P.O.V

Artemis and Butler led Luna to a room below the ground floor of the manor. It was properly furnished like a lounge until Butler told his sister, Juliet, to dismantle it and put two chairs facing each other, one with handcuffs one without. She had done quick work, considering he had given the order quickly after the 'Lovebird Incident' as it will soon be known as within the Fowl Manor. "What's this?" poor, innocent Luna asks. Artemis already gets the idea and he glances to Butler for confirmation, who nods as Artemis gets a look of pure evil. They sat Luna in the chair with the handcuffs and Artemis took the chair across from her. A look of realisation crosses her face a second too late, the handcuffs are already around her wrists and she can't do anything about it. "Do I still get that footage?" she asks Butler who nods, "But later." Luna nods. Butler leaves Artemis to it. Artemis smirks.

Artemis's P.O.V

Time for payback. I'm not called sly for nothing. "So, Luna," I am careful to draw out each syllable. No reaction whatsoever from her. I get up and walk to her chair. I study her face with much attention. Still nothing. All I get is an eye roll and a request for that ridiculous footage. "You can get it when you answer some of my questions." I drawl, she immediately sits up straight and pays attention, "Number One, how did you get the password for my account? And just so you don't get any ideas..." I stuck a truth serum patch on to one of her veins. She pales, "You really are evil, aren't you?" I nod, "Answer please."

She rolls her eyes again, "I put a virus in the last layer of security instead of the password." I nod, "Question Two, do you actually like me?" I ask slyly, a smirk creeping up my face. Her face flushes red, "Why should I tell you that?" She protests. I chuckle, "I preferred it when you were the flustered one." She says, "Sure you do." I tease. Again, an eye roll. "My turn, did you like my little act?" She demands. I was confused for a moment, before realising that I have a truth serum pad on my vein. "Wait... How?" Suddenly I have Luna standing in front of me, a grin plastered to her face, "I don't know, maybe it's magic. Or maybe it's called the easiest lock to pick and an extra truth serum pad." She deadpans using jazz hands. "Anyway, spill." I can feel the serum controlling me, my mouth opens to say "Y-" the door opens and Butler sets me free of my bonds and I rip the pad off of me.

"No fair!" Luna whines, I felt like being childish so I stick my tongue out at her, "Ha ha!" Apparently, she can be as childish as me when she wants to, "I bet you were about to say yes, weren't you?" She taunts. I feel my face burning up, "No I wasn't!" She leans really close and says, "Does that mean that you don't like my acting?" she sticks out her bottom lip and pouts. I instantly feel bad, "Noooooooo." I whisper. D'arvit (Fairy profanity) the serum must still be in my veins.

She smirks, "What was that? I couldn't hear you!" "I said No... as in your acting is very good but I don't like it..." I trail off, "How do I make you feel?" she teases, "Shut up... I'm a Fowl. I have no weaknesses." I harrumph, "Sorry, but this footage tells otherwise! Now hand it over please! Thank you!" She says as Butler betrays me and hands over the footage on Juliet's phone. We watch it over and over. It's slightly humorous, I have to admit, but I really did think that she was about to kiss me. I glance over to her as she laughs her head off over and over, as I'm watching her, it suddenly clicks. Why we made up almost immediately, why I accepted her, why I was jealous, why I felt the rushing in my stomach, the pounding in my chest.

I was in love with her.

I mentally face-palmed myself for being so ignorant. I should listen to Mother about how she felt first with his Father. Actually, I'm not that ignorant.

Luna's P.O.V

Artemis isn't even looking at the phone. He was staring at me. Was he mad for making fun of him? Was he curious about me? Did I have something on my face? Did he, maybe, like me? I mean, we seem to more or less get along. Was there, under the obvious amounts of friendly flirting, a golden nugget of truth? Impossible. Anyway, he would stop as soon as he finds about the rest of my family. My Mother was once involved with criminals, just like his Father, and my Father is going on a money spending spree, like his Mother did when his Father went missing. All major similarities and minor differences. For all I know, Artemis isn't interested in dating. Even if he is, he might want someone normal, uninvolved with criminal activities. This was a stupid excuse because he was the one who kidnapped me, but still.

I decide to wave a hand in front of his face to wake him up. "Heeey. Fowl. Fowl. Fowl. Fowl. FOWL!! Artemis!" He snaps back to reality and asks, "How do you act like that?" "Act how?" I return, "Like that." He points at me in the video, leaning forwards towards him. "It was an experiment. And I only know how to go too far." I explain, "Experiment how?" he demands, "I wanted to see how a teenage genius would react if a stranger he decided to kidnap started flirting with him. Quite a successful experiment, although not in the way I predicted." Artemis scoffs, "What did you expect, me kicking you off?" "Precisely." I nod, rewinding the video to the part where I told him to kiss me.

I study video Artemis's face over and over. It was quite cute honestly, the way his body shivered when I asked him, the look of astonishment. "Oi! Stop rewinding that! Haven't I been tortured enough?" Artemis half yells, half begs. "Fine." I give in, closing the phone and giving it back to Butler.

That evening, I am taken to a room which, apparently, has the furniture that the 'interrogation room' used to have. It's quite nice but I'm not about to tell that to Artemis. "What ransom are you going to ask?" I direct my question to Artemis, "The money that you took from me." I roll my eyes. "My family don't know about that account. I'll need to tell my Mother the pass code." "Why don't your family know the password? Isn't it theirs?" he narrows his eyes suspiciously. "None of your business." I shoot back, "Fine. Here, use my phone. Don't tell her where you are, or there'll be trouble." He warns, "What do you think I am, stupid?" I roll my eyes again; they're getting quite a work-out today.

I put my Mother's number in, type in "Mother, this is Luna, I have been kidnapped and the ransom is £100,000. The money is in a second bank account that I have created. The username is ****_****** and the pass code is *********. Don't worry, I'm being treated quite well. Don't trace the text as it will delete all data on the phone, just a warning. This message will delete in a minute as soon as you open this contact. –Luna" I click send, delete the message for Artemis, so that he can't read it and give the phone back. "Get some rest. It's pretty late." He tells me and locks the door behind him. I sigh and lay down on the bed. I'd better think of an escape plan, just in case.

Artemis's P.O.V

I lock the door and head to my study. All the events were extremely tiring. I hope Mother doesn't find out about Luna. The results would be catastrophic, to say the least. I call back Foaly, "We have apprehended Miss Mercury. I intend to get her on my side, which is proving to be easier than my original plan." Foaly nods, "Interesting, what was your original plan?" "To shame her into thinking that she wasn't intelligent, so that she would consider herself majorly inferior so that she wouldn't be a target. Not my brightest idea." I explain, "Ah, tell me, what made you think that that would work?" he smirks, "Jealousy. Pure and simple." I reply, Foaly bursts into laughter, The greatest discovery in the world! Artemis Fowl has human emotions!" "Sue me, I have better things to do than to hear your donkey laugh." I grumble, closing the call and sigh again. I realize that it's already midnight. I get into bed and fall asleep.

3rd Person P.O.V

Little did they know that someone has hacked Juliet's phone and is watching the footage right now. Someone, with a thirst for vengeance against Artemis Fowl. Someone, who would willingly hurt an innocent, for revenge. "Looks like little Arty has a crush! How delightful! Now, let's see him get crushed!" they cackle manically "Miss Koboi, may I ask who you are talking to?" a meek voice asks, "NONE OF YOUR BUISINESS DESCANT!"

Opal Koboi had a plan.
