I've buried this in an obscure archive in case anyone finds it. Anyway, if you do, stop reading now, because you probably won't know what it's about.

Artemis Fowl: People Stuck In A Box

Well, author's note: My first fanfic. I know it's totally illogical that you'd be able to contain everyone in a box like this, but bear with me, put up with my weirdness.

Disclaimer: Unless you are completely dense, you probably know I don't own Artemis Fowl. I do own the two people on the invisible speaker. Well, I only own Katrina to a certain extent. The other person on the speaker I own completely and in full, I have complete control over what she says, does, writes, eats, drinks, and pretty much everything else. Okay? Now that that's over with, let us continue with this hopeless mess of a story.

I've decided to skip over the stupid entrance scene I made, and go on with the actual story. Oh, wait. One more thing. -hides behind bulletproof frame- Please don't hate me. It's my first fanfic. -cowers-

"So we're trapped in…" Holly started.

"A box." Commander Root finished for her.

"Not only that, but there's no way out." Foaly piped up. "It's made from the same material as our LEP helmets, which is virtually indestructible, so there's no use breaking the walls. But somehow, we can still breathe. Ingenious contraption."

He went back to examining the walls, checking for cracks, doors, maybe a way out.

"We can't get out yet, so maybe we can wait to see why we're here." Artemis Fowl was sitting in a corner, observing the situation.

As if on cue, a girl's voice piped up from an invisible loudspeaker.

"Um, hi, welcome to our Observation Room. We call it the box. Now, you can probably tell that you're trapped here—OWW! Katrina, get off!" The girl's explanation was cut short, and the occupants of the box could hear feedback and struggling noises coming from the invisible speaker in the room.

A completely new voice came on, still female, but definitely a different person.

"Right, welcome to the box. You've been picked because we feel like it, and you'll only be staying here two weeks, we promise. In case you didn't look around, I'll introduce everyone in the room." She paused for breath, before rattling of a stream of names. "Artemis Fowl, Holly Short, Julius Root, Foaly, Butler, and Mulch Diggums."

They heard another struggle between the two speakers, and in time the first speaker took over.

"You'll be trapped in this box, and food will magically appear through a portal. Since we feel like it, you'll have a meal that includes potatoes everyday for the first week." Speaker #1 paused and laughed. "There's a door at the far end of the room, that leads to the bathroom. No way out there either."

The second speaker grabbed the mike, and explained the rules. "You'll have to do several things we ask you to do, otherwise you will be denied access to the bathroom for a few days. We start first thing tomorrow. Bright and early. The clock will wake you up."

A small black box appeared in the middle of the room, clearly displaying the time.

"You can go to sleep or something now. We'll still be around. Have a good night. The lights turn on and off with three claps." The girl giggled, and turned off the mike.

"This is an interesting mess we've gotten ourselves into. Any idea who could do this?" Artemis asked.

"There's no one with the technology to do this except Opal Koboi, who's locked up forever in maximum security." Foaly sighed. "So I guess we'll find out the evil masterminds behind this in two weeks."

Holly, who was banging on the walls, finally gave up. "We don't have two weeks. We'll go insane in this box!"

Mulch appeared from the bathroom.

"No escape." Mulch said. "Cant tunnel our way out, can't break our way out, and from what I've seen of the bathroom, can't flush yourself out. Were trapped in a box, probably having our every move watched."

Root turned a brilliant shade of crimson. "Whoever did this, I'll make sure they'll have nothing to watch for the rest of their lives except the wall of their cell."

"It's no use thinking about this in the middle of the night, we're all sleep deprived and can't think straight." Butler pointed out. "Let's go to sleep and figure it out in the morning. We'll all take turns keeping guard."

He clapped three times, and the mysterious light illuminating their chamber went out.

After a few minutes of complaining, the group finally settled down. A few minutes later, you could hear Mulch snoring.

Artemis, on the other hand, was wide-awake. He was puzzled as to what had happened and how it had happened. Who were the brains behind this twisted plan? He'd have to wait to find out.

-pokes top of head out from behind bulletproof screen- Do you hate me yet? -ducks as hail of bullets is aimed at her head-

If you be nice and review, I might be fast with the next chapter.

Until later,
