Chapter 1

§§§§

Captain Holly Short stood by Commander Julius Root's chair, watching the wide screen computer change.

"…The Golden Jewel of Volasski Signorì, that's your mission, find the jewel and bring it back to headquarters safely," Root finished.

"Okay, commander, where do I find this Golden jewel of—what did you say the name was?" Holly asked looked at the hologram.

"Volasski Signorì, it is located in northern Italy, a place called," Root pointed at it, "Venice…"

§§§§

"Oh, Arty!" Angeline Fowl exclaimed, hugging her son, "we missed you so much!"

"Mother," Artemis Jr. said, then she turned to Artemis Sr., "father, I missed you too."

"Good to see you again, Artemis," Mr. Fowl said happily.

"Hello, Artemis," a voice behind him said.

"Hello…" Artemis's voice caught in his throat, "… Juliet…"

Juliet, Butler's younger sister, looked different. Her hair was a dirty blond, her lips were full and pink, and her figure, as well as her looked had… matured.

"Yes, Artemis, it's me," Juliet grinned and hugged him tightly, "I missed you, we all did…"

Artemis froze at her sudden movement. He cleared his throat and Juliet let go of him quickly. Artemis nodded his head; Juliet got his bags, coloring slightly, and walked upstairs. Artemis shrugged, looked at his parents, and followed Juliet.

"We need to do something about that boy," Artemis Sr. muttered to his wife.

"Yes, especially since I spent hours trying to get Juliet as pretty as she is now," Angeline agreed, "she seems to be the only decent girl for him!"

§§§§

"Is everything set?" the female elf asked.

"Yes, Madame, on your command," the pixie answered.

"Alright, let's pay our friends a visit, shall we?" the elf walked to the pixie, "Now!"

The pixie turned the screen to the Fowl Manor and pushed the button.

§§§§

"Commander, may I ask…" Holly said, "Is this… Volasski Signorì still alive?"

"No… he died years ago, murder or something of the sort," Root responded.

"Does he have any living relatives?" Holly asked, staring at the man in the photograph.

"No, well, there is one, but I highly doubt she'll be much trouble," Root scanned his files, "Levinia Signorì, his grand-daughter…"

Suddenly the phone rang, "Julius—"

"Foaly, how many times have I said this… NEVER call me Julius!!"

"Commander," Foaly continued, "it's urgent, something has happened at the Fowl Manor…"

§§§§

Artemis followed Juliet to his room, where she was putting away his sweaters. He walked up behind her and tapped her shoulder. Juliet jumped and turned around.

"Oh, Artemis, it's just you," Juliet laughed and turned back to the unpacking, "how are you?"

"I'm fine, you?" Artemis shrugged and looked around, "I'm glad to be back at home."

Juliet looked at him. Artemis's skin had become darker and he looked more alive than when he had gotten that fairy book.

"I'm okay," Juliet passed him a watch, "you left this here…"

As she touched his hand to give me the watch, Artemis felt a sort of warm shock surge through him. Artemis ignored it as a smile twitched at his lips.

"Thank you," he looked at her.

Suddenly there was a blast. On reflex, Artemis grabbed Juliet and pulled her down with him. They sat there for about a minute, till there was complete silence.

"Are you okay?" Juliet asked.

"Yeah, are you?" Artemis looked at her.

"Fine," she slowly stood up and walked to the door, "Oh… my… gosh… Artemis, Look!"

"What is it?" he did the same and ran to her side.

"I can't believe this," he breathed.
