Claire:

I turn the corner and slam into the chest of a young man about a head taller than me with electric blue eyes and jet black hair. His eyes widen when he stumbles back and looks at me.

"Who are you?" the mysterious young man straightens his navy blazer.

"Who are you?" I retort, head throbbing from the impact.

The young man straightens his posture, "I am Master Artemis Fowl the second."

I snort. How pretentious. "I'm Claire Kennedy. The one and only."

His confident expression remains intact, although I do see a slightly amused look cross his eyes.

"Ah, the new nanny," He emphasizes the word nanny as if it were a terrible idea, "welcome to our home. Do try to watch where you're walking."

I raise an eyebrow, "nice to meet you too."

We both continue walking in our initial directions. What a jerk.

Thank goodness Angeline said he was usually holed up in his lab. It had been nearly a month that I had moved in and this was the first time that we had met. The winding hallways of Fowl manor are difficult to navigate, but I had never run into anyone before. Even Angeline and Artemis Senior seemed to disappear after giving me a credit card and showing me the boys' room. Speaking of Myles and Beckett, those two adorable little boys are my charges. Myles, who clearly takes after Artemis, has the same blue eyes and jet black hair as well as the same intellect. Beckett on the other hand is a cheerful little blond boy who will probably end up a star athlete of some sort. I spend my days playing with them and taking care of them as if they were my own. I can't believe how lucky I was to have nabbed this position. I had just graduated college with no job prospects when I had seen the ad on craigslist. Two weeks later I was in Ireland, quite different from my southern upbringing in Florida.

I walk into my suite and flop onto my bed, not even bothering to change my clothes. I grab my laptop from the bench next to me and head straight to Google and start looking up Artemis Fowl. Of course the network has searching for any information on the Fowls firewalled. I sigh and lay back on my pillow.

That night I have a dream about Artemis. We walk together along the beach by the manor, looking for something we had lost. I watch Artemis stop and pick up an object that begins to glimmer as he picks it up. I know what it is, although I've never seen it before. It's a necklace, silver with deep green charms hanging off. He reaches out to me with the necklace in his hand. The scene turns white and I open my eyes to the inside of my room. I sit up and shake my head. Weird dream.
