Hi everyone this is the first piece of fan fiction I have ever wrote before! I am so excited! * starts hyperventilating, running around the room, freaking out etc.* Note, this takes place between The Eternity Code and The Opal Deception, during the period when Artemis has had his mind wiped. Also, the story's narration switches between Artemis and my OC, (who will be introduced shortly) so each chapter will have the narrator's name in the title. Now, on with the story!
Disclaimer: I do not own Artemis Fowl.
First Time
Chapter 1: shades of gray ( Artemis)
Looking back at my encounters with magic and The People, my life had been black and white. Magic seemed as though it had somehow brought it Technicolor ,but once I had been mind wiped, everything was just so dull, dreary, boring, and, though I would dare not admit it to anyone, lonely. That was before I started my third year at Saint Bartlbys ….
"Goodbye, Artemis," my mother sobbed as she and my father said goodbye to me before I left for school. " I can't believe we won't see you until Christmas. It feels like only yesterday you were born, already saying your first words…" at this Mother sobbed harder than ever. After Father calmed Mother down, 4 hours later, Butler drove me to St. Bart's. As we reached the school, a large banner was hung stating," Saint Bartlby's School for Young Gentleman welcomes Saint Magenta's Girls' Academy! " in bubble letters. I rolled my eyes at this tediousness. This year St. Bartlby was playing host to the St. Magenta Girls' Academy due to an incident that had resolved in the building being "unsuitable for students and staff to live in." I didn't care though, I had no time for girls. My classmates evidently thought quite differently. In my mind my classmates were simply moronic, immature, childish, imbeciles. After seeing how they behaved around girls though, I decided they were the biggest bunch of idiots I had ever met. After I unpacked my things in my room without incident, ( apart from Butler returning to school a couple of times to make sure I had everything, which of course I did.)I went to an area on the school grounds that students rarely ventured, being as the majority of the students spent time in the dorms and courtyard. I sat down on a bench and did some research on my laptop- I was looking up some facts about the stock market- when it occurred to me I was being watched. When I looked about I was surprised by what I saw. A girl with golden blonde hair glowing in the sunlight was staring at me with the most curious expression. Her entire body was still with what was clearly shock, or maybe fear. Her blue eyes had tears spilling from them with an unmistakable sadness, her face was red, as though angry, but the most noticeable thing about her was her smile. Her mouth had formed into a dazzling smile that gave off an aura of friendliness , as if she wanted to be with me. It took her a moment for her to realize I was looking at her, but when she realized this, her expression seemed to change at once. Her body had relaxed, all traces of tears were gone from her face, and she no longer looked angry. The only thing about her that was the same was her brilliant smile, which her entire face seemed to portray that aura of an extreme amount of joy.
" They really mind wiped you, didn't they?" she asked suddenly. I didn't answer, for once I was at a loss for words. What on Earth was she talking about?
" I'll take that as a 'yes they did.' Yep, definitely ." She said as though agreeing with herself on something.
" Well, it was nice seeing you." At this she turned around, started waking calmly, then broke into a run and made a sound that sounded like a sob before she left. It was then that I started seeing shades of gray.
That's the end of chapter 1. Thanks for reading! Please review!
