I don't own Artemis Fowl, but I wish I did. Also, no flames! This is the edited version of chapter one.

"What is it Foaly?"

"Take a couple of deep breaths, and maybe a few pills."

"What is it Foaly?

"It's..."

"Artemis Fowl, I'm right, aren't I."


Holly woke with a start and cast a glance around the room. Her breathing was heavy and she was very startled. She slowly pulled herself from her bed and looked over at her new roommate Ivy to make sure the scare hadn't awakened her too. When Holly was confident about the state of things she left the room.

For the past year she had been having these dreams. She felt that they could possibly have been tied to Artemis Fowl finally leaving them; she was almost traumatized by the event, key word Almost.

Holly rubbed her temple and sighed heavily. Something strange was happening in the Haven, she just knew it. She walked over to where she kept her LEP uniform, (on the back of her chair, organization was the last thing on a LEP officers mind.) She quickly pulled it on and began to make her way through the crowded streets.

"Uh huh," Holly said in a bored tone. "I'll try to convince the shrub to leave them alone. Don't worry."

Holly stood up and slowly walked out of the office as if she was completely unaware of what was going on around her. Root sighed and shuffled some papers on his desk. When he heard her leave the office he picked up a picture and sat down. It was a picture of his wife Bloom, and his daughter Holly…
