Author's Note: Hello peoples of the world. How you all doing? Good I'm glad to hear that most of you have answered that you are fine.

Any way I know you crave longer chapters but that just isn't my style so you will have to deal with my agonizingly short chapters. Good to see you all really. Have a pleasant day. , Or the rest of the day if you read this in the afternoon. TTFN Ta Ta For Now! ON a side thought, please tell me how you would like this to turn out. I am in some serious need of some assistance. Thank you all.

Disclaimer: My editor has brought the need for a disclaimer to my attention. I do not own Artemis Fowl books. I do however own Jamie Smith so if any of you wish to use her you must first ask my permission or suffer my terrible wrath. Be afraid, be very afraid!

Chapter Three: Jamie's Origins

"Yes, I suppose she will be angry when she finds you have botched all her plans up. I think she will be very unhappy." Artemis said. Feeling disoriented now that he had his proper memories back, he wasn't quiet sure where he was or why he was there. "Can you tell me, perhaps why I'm hear I can't seem to remember." Then it came back. He was here to see if a bargain could be made between Jamie Smith a.k.a. Monarch.

" Yeah your right. No use losing sleep over it. I guess." Jamie replied looking forlorn. "About why you're here I have no idea. I was trying to find out just that, when your memories came back. I assume that you came to ask my help to get out of this place in exchange for your help in getting me out of this stone prison." She had a thoughtful expression on her face. As if she was contemplating a serious matter.

" If I was right in my assumption, and you are still willing to help me I would be happy to except your offer of partnership." She finished with a determined air about her.

Artemis was silent for a long while thinking about the wisdom in helping this, for it was obvious she was, fairy. But as before the prospect of friendship with this girl was more attractive than having her as an enemy.

"Alright," he said at last, "but only if you tell me how you got into this school if you are a fairy." He was very curious about the matter you see. And the best way to get information is to ask questions.

Somewhere deep inside Jamie knew she should have been expecting that question. So she wasn't surprised it was this question the famed Artemis chose to ask of her.

"If you must know," she began, " I'm only half fairy. My mother was a fairy and she taught me all I know of fairy lore and their skills. Which is how I attempted to mesmerize you. When she died the People contacted me with a mission that would only work if the operative was capable of working from the inside.

"No doubt you have often wondered how the fairies have managed to stay secret for so long. Well we have been Hacking into the government's files and deleting all traces of our existence. That's what they needed me for. I have been hacking into government files ever since." She paused to take a breath.

"When my father died all my relatives on his side wanted to get rid of me. They didn't approve of my mother you see, so they sure as hell didn't approve of me either. So they all set me to a boarding school.

"As you can imagine this didn't sit well with my fairy relatives who had waited long enough to have me home. So I set out to escape. I did, escape that is, but they kept catching me. Until they sent me here, the only place that has kept me locked up for more than a month." Jamie finished with a look of relief, at finally spitting it all out at last, on her face.

Artemis thought about this for a while until Jamie was sure he had forgotten she even existed, when he said "Well that explains a lot. So we should get to work then. I will work on the security and you work on an escape route." He had a look of great excitement on his face at the prospect of such a challenge.
