A/N: Hii~ I'm a first-timer here, just thought you should know so you won't blame me if this story turns out to suck like hell. This is the first book on Artemis Fowl with Holly Short as the main character, although you might have guessed that from the name, or the summary (= =ll). Anyway, please review~all authors(non-professional in this case) likes to see their work appreciated, and please give me ideas on how to improve. I'm hoping to develop my own style through this story then move on to my own ones. I hope you all will enjoy, and seriously don't have too high expectations, becuase you might be disappointed. Sorry it's so short, I thought to try out this idea to see if I can write well independantly, and it was done in the middle of the night, so...yeah.

Disclaimer: I do not own Artemis Fowl, if I did, I'd have his brain and his money *laughs evilly in background*~


Prologue

If Holly Short, first and only female captain of the Lower Element Police Reconnaissance squad were described as an animal, it would most likely be a hybrid, between what animals I am not sure. For there is no animal that could have all of her qualities. She was born to be a LEPrecon, behind those defiant eyes of hers, burns a determination brighter than the sun. words were never meant to fully describe a person, I guess the best way for you to understand her is too read this account of her first contact with the Mud Men which, of course, was the first step out of the many to come on to her already bumpy career.

Quite a few years ago, she was kidnapped by a human. That, perhaps would not be very interesting. The human was a child genius, at the age of 12. Fairies are not the type of plump and rather cute-looking grandmothers. That image would probably have been created by the People's technology genius, Foaly, to throw the scent off the real image of the People. The People like just like you and me, albeit a miniature version and pointy ears. But different families have different physical traits. For example, dwarfs are short, stout, and tons of other things that you won't wanna know about. And so, lets start on the story instead of a lecture on the differences between fairy families.


A/N: Sorry I know it's really really very short, but please review and tell me whether I should continue with this style or am I talking too much, please give me ideas too, thanks all readers~
