Artemis Fowl the Third

Chapter 5: Meeting fairies? That's a first.

Lalalalalala~ sing a happy song~

Hi peps:D

After almost 3 months, I'M BACK! Wheeeeee~

Unfortunately, I realised generally no-one really reads my Artemis Fowl fan-fiction, which is a bit saddening.

Still I have 500+ reads, which is heartening:3

Plus, Artemis Fowl the Third managed #210 in Action :)

Also, billion thanks to DanniAsoma for commenting and giving me ideas... This chappy is dedicated to you <3

FYI, I would not be mentioning Artemis 2 too much, so when I say Artemis, I usually mean Artemis 3... I'll use Arty for Artemis 2.

And yeah, if you think it sucks/rocks, comment:D

So, let's go on anyway, to...

Chapter 5:

Artemis looked at the ceiling. What a beautiful shade of white. Purity.

Geez. Like he could ever be a pure soul. (hehe. the pot calling the kettle black here) 

He looked at his father one last time before slumping onto the leather sofa. Juliet's words echoed in his mind.

"Don't slouch, it'll hurt your back!" she had nagged then.

How he wished that his motherly figure was around now. She might have had an idea of what to do. Or at least...

... be of moral support.

"Are you absolutely sure you can get us in Foaly?" Holly was desperate. "I don't want anyone killing me for this..."

"When have I, the great and intelligent and gorgeous centaur of all-" Foaly retorted.

"Quit the show-off, just get us in!" Trouble muttered.

Foaly raised his hands in defeat as the trio approached the hospital with Arty (Artemis 2) inside.

Holly and Trouble went to the entrance.

"Let me and my friend in please..." Holly mesmered the security guard. Too simple. She and Trouble made it into the private wards in 10 seconds.

"Ward 101," Foaly murmured to tem through the headgear as they found the wooden door with the golden '101' doorplate.

"This is it." Trouble said as Holly turned the doorknob.

-----

Artemis (Artemis 3) knew that someone was coming in. The doctor? A nurse? But hadn't his father already been checked?

What he saw was completely out of his mental capacity. 2 "children" walked in. A boy and a girl. "Hello," the girl talked with adult-like calmness.

"Who are you?" Artemis managed to ask.

"Artemis?" Holly gave Artemis a great hug. Artemis felt petrified as he stood there, a child huggin him tight.

And then, as he went into further detail, he realised the 'children' had not normal ears- but pointed ones.

"Holly... that's not the Artemis we know..." the boy murmured to the girl as she let go off Artemis, eyes wide in shock.

"Can someone please answer my question?" Artemis asked, his patience running low, "Or I'll call security."

The girl and boy looked at each other for a mere second and then at the pale Irish laying on the bed behind.

The girl murmured one name. "Artemis...?"

-----

That boy. The pale boy with adoring sapphire blue eyes. How could that not be that Mud-boy, Artemis Fowl the Second?

And then. A thought struck Holly like lightning to a tall tree.

Artemis had had a child. And the product stood there right in front of her. 20 years, Holly. It had turned him into a Mud-man with a mud-boy of his own.

But the mud-boy knew not of the fairies?

"Hello child. What's your name?" she asked Artemis.

"Artemis Fowl the Third. And I suppose you are not human. Care to tell me your name and what you actually are?" his voice was calm and cold, just like his father.

Artemis Fowl the Third. Nice name.

And she'll bet Foaly knew about him.

She'll horse-whip him later.

"Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon. And this friend of mine is Commander Trouble Kelp of LEPrecon." She went on.

She braced herself. "We're both elves."

What did she expect? Artemis to faint or something? But he wasn't the son or the great Artemis for nothing.

"I see," Artemis responded in coolness, usually unattainable by other 13 year olds, "So what are you here for? Does my father have dealings with elves as well?"

Holly wanted to retort, but Trouble held her back. "No, an old enemy of your father- a pixie- has escaped from our prisons and we wanted to ensure he was okay or if we could protect him. But I guess we're too late."

And then, he sighed.

-----

Artemis knew not of what to do. Two 'children' had just barged into his father's ward, claimed they were elves and there was an evil pixie was the culprit.

So there are fairies and magic on this world? What the heck?

Was he supposed to believe this crap?

But somehow, inside of him was a gut feeling. That they were speaking only the truth and that he should trust them.

Perhaps they could heal his 'coma' father.

"So, explain the 'fairy' concept to me, will you?"

This would take a while, but better to know your allies well before working with them after all. Just as Father had said.

He shall try to help his father.

He had to.

-----

"So, the world is actually inhabited by-"

Holly and Trouble just tried to tell Artemis everything he needed to know.

Just the basics.

The rest could be learnt on the way.

Hopfully that would suffice.

Hope you enjoyed ths chappy!

That's chapter 5, a cliffy:)
