ARTEMIS FOWL: A Love Story

Usuanidemonslayer: Hey you guys, next chapter is up! Hope you enjoy it. I don't have much to say but that I hope you enjoy this new chapter. And please remember REVIEW!

"Where is she?" Artemis asked Juliet who shrugged. He had been looking for her in the past hour with no clue as for her whereabouts. He groaned impatiently and stalked outside the manor and into his study. Slamming the door closed he went to his desk and sat down. He never even noticed her standing there, her back to him while picking up a book from the bookcase that took all of the four walls surrounding him.
As he sat down eyes closed, rubbing his temples, and mind concentrated in what he was going to tell her as soon as he found her.
He sighed and she turned to face him. She raised her brows at him noticing he wasn't conscious of her presence. "What am I going to tell her?..." he murmured to himself. "Holly…" he whispered and slowly opened his eyes expecting to stare at the wooden door across the room. Instead he stared at an amused Holly. His eyes widen and he sprang up from his chair in the process the chair tumbled down in a way catching his feet and making him fall back on his behind.
Holly's eyes had a glint that it seemed as if she were about to cry. Instead she burst into laughter and held her stomach for support. Artemis simply sat there dumbfounded and tried to process in his mind the fact that he had made a fool out of himself in front of the one girl he had so hard tried to impress for the past days.
Damn her! She scared the living hell out of me!...ugh! I can't believe It, after I searched the whole damned manor and couldn't find her, she appears out of nowhere in the place least expected!...
Holly had stopped laughing and now stared at him with curiosity. His face twisted as if in pain. After waiting for him to recover and no success was apparent, she gave up and shook her head but as she was about to bent down and help him up she realized he had been staring at her the whole time. She took a deep breath and waited a bit longer but nothing happened except that now he stared at her in a… loving…. Kind way? She felt her cheeks turn a shade of red and swallowed hard. Making sure her voice was firm and calm she said "Why are you staring? Do I have monkeys on my face or something?"
Artemis seemed to have realized what he had been doing and stood up immediately busying himself with dusting away imaginary dust from his suit. He was avoiding her face and she knew it.

"Artemis, look at me…." Holly said an idea coming to her mind. He didn't look up instead he kept dusting away the imaginary dirt. "Artemis…." She said again but in a sing-song kind of voice. No he would not look up and make a fool out of himself again! He refused to! Holly pouted and placed her hands on her hips. "ARTEMIS!" she whined and finally he looked up. His face had a rather faint red shade on his cheeks and that, in way satisfied her. "What?…" he asked. "Are you okay?" Holly asked getting closer to him. He backed away as she got near, something was up and he knew it. "Oh poor, poor Artemis" she taunted. Eventually he had his back against the wall, his eyes fixed on Holly who was now advancing toward him a bit faster. He gulped and hoped she was not mad about having to call him 'master' the last time they had spoken to each other.
Slowly she reached him and now stood very close to him.

Okay Holly, the only way you will get the jewel is if you seduce him… I just hope this works or Sool will have my head for this! Take deep breaths, slowly reach him, flirt a bit, tease him and make him fall for you, then take the jewel from him and leave. Holly had been thinking of a way to retrieve the jewel without actually having to fight Artemis or Butler and had found not one solution. Instead she thought that maybe, just maybe she would be able to seduce him into giving her the jewel… you never knew or at least with Artemis Fowl II.
"Holly?... What are you doing?" Artemis asked nervously. Holly now had a hand stretched out that rested on the wall next to Artemis' head. While her other hand rested neatly against his chest and her face only inches away from his own she smiled a sweet 'innocent' smile. "Oh Artemis… as if you didn't know…. "She whispered leaning a bit closer, their lips almost touched when the door swung open to reveal a smiling Daisy. "Artemis!" she squealed advancing toward him not even noticing the enraged Holly. Damn that stupid mud girl! I had him…. Holly thought as she stepped away from him with a pout.
Artemis tried to not look at her but he simply couldn't help himself. He looked at her face and blushed harder when she pouted. Daisy hugged him and smiled at Holly. "What were you two doing?" she asked as if nothing had happened. Maybe she hadn't seen them…. Artemis regained control of himself and said as coolly as possible "nothing at all Daisy… she was only fixing my tie…" At that Daisy cocked her head to the side.

"Your… tie?... but… you aren't wearing one…" Artemis looked down and noticed she was right. He looked around the room and noticed his tie had been thrown to the floor. When? He didn't know.

"Master, am I allowed to leave now that you are not in need of my assistance?" The captain asked. "Of course" he answered and she fled the room leaving behind an amazingly strong aura. She is angry… that was his only thought before bringing his thoughts back to the girl in front of him. "You were looking for me…is there something wrong?" Daisy shook her head in response before speaking. "There is nothing wrong… I just wanted to spend some time with my future husband" Artemis sighed and shook his head slowly. "I'm sorry but I am actually very busy at the moment. Would you mind coming back later?" Artemis asked hopefully but noooo the girl just had to pout.
"Never mind… I think I can spare you some time…." He mumbled.

"Damn her.." Holly whispered as she stalked into her room. It seemed like she was doing that very often lately. "I had him! But she just had to ruin it!" she half yelled punching the wall next to her. With a sigh she sat in her bed as she buried her face in her hands.

"I need to get the jewel and get this over with…. If only that damned girl stayed out of my way!" She was now talking to herself unaware that her communicator was on and that Sool was listening. "But… I don't think I can do it… what will I tell Artemis after I give the jewel back to Sool?... He will despise me…. Oh god! I think…. It can't be…. No… I think… I love him…." She whispered the last part and stood up. She walked over to her desk and took the tiny round mirror next to the computer. She stared at her reflection and laughed. She loved him? Artemis Fowl II? The same mud boy who had kidnapped her? The one who thanks to, she almost lost her finger? The same Artemis whose father she saved?... And the one who thanks to, she was able to stop Opal Koboi?... The one who helped her save her home….

"Damn!...I do love him…" She whispered and ran out of the room. She reached his room and knocked lightly. No answer. She knocked again and still no answer came. She sighed and returned to her room. She had to think of her next move. She would take the jewel regardless of her own feelings. She would protect her people no matter what, and then…. Perhaps.. Artemis would forgive her….The elfin sighed shaking her head. What if he doesn't forgive me?... what then? I wish I didn't have to do this but… I must… If he doesn't forgive me then… I will not come back to him… does he feel the same way? Maybe not… after all he is going to marry Daisy, damn the girl! I was so close to kiss him… if it wasn't for her I probably would have the jewel in my hands right now! Ugh!

Holly now stretched across her bed, eyes closed and lips pursed together. She heard someone knock and without getting up she called "come in" and someone indeed came in. Daisy walked toward her and stood next to the bed. The mud girl was glaring at the captain with hatred in her eyes. "Yes?" Holly said sitting up attempting a smile but failed Daisy leaped in the air and landed atop Holly with a 'thud' All air left her lungs as she fought for control of herself. Daisy laid on top of her, her legs spread apart with Holly in between weighing her down. Both Holly's arms were stretched out on the bed atop her head while Daisy held them in place. "What is going on?" Holly growled impatiently. "Who do you think you are?!" Daisy whispered in menacing voice. Holly sighed and relaxed, the girl had less strength than she did and could possibly break her neck without her ever knowing what hit her. "I do not understand, my lady" Holly said calmly.

"Don't play dumb with me you stupid girl! I saw you trying to kiss Artemis, MY Artemis!" "Your Artemis?..." Holly asked her brows rising. "You may be engaged to him but that does not mean he's yours much the less that he loves you" Holly said in a defiant manner. With great agility she turned Daisy on her back and now held her down the same way she had Holly. "Maybe he even loves me…" Holly whispered with a smile plastered on her face.
"HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT!!!" Daisy yelled rolling on top of Holly. Holly smiled and rolled back into the position she had had Daisy a few moments ago. "Now, now don't get all worked up mistress, surely you are not threaten by the mere servant after all the master did propose to you" Holly taunted her. "He… didn't… its an arranged marriage…" Holly took a deep breath after hearing what the girl beneath her said. Taking the chance Daisy rolled on top of her and glared down at her again. "But that does not change the fact that Artemis will be mine, and mine only!" The girl yelled. "That… is… enough!!!" Holly screamed. With ease she rolled on top of her… again!, falling off the bed and onto the floor. Holly laid on top of her, her hazel eyes emotionless she whispered into the girl's ear without a care in the world "Artemis will be mine… no matter what you do… At the end we will be together… you cannot stop me mud girl… I am stronger… smarter… skilled… and provocative… I have more experience and at the end you will lose…" Holly traced a finger down the girl's throat and "gently" pressed her hand around her neck with a swift movement she squeezed her throat not enough to kill her but enough to make her choke. She released the girl and stood up her eyes still revealing nothing. "Leave…" She whispered and didn't have to say it twice. Daisy ran out of the room clutching her throat as if expecting it to fall off if she didn't hold on to it.

"Damn…" Holly cursed under her breath before allowing herself to relax.
