Now, what you've all been waiting for, Chapter 7 and Part 8 of this fic! Here's a message to my reviewers:

Maddi-Linka AKA Trisha: Thanks, I do too, lol!

Well, here it is, Chapter 7 of my first ever Artemis Fowl fic:

Chapter 7

§§§§

"I knew it," Holly hissed.

"Of course you did, Captain Holly Short," Levinia said, "obviously, being the prettiest officer in the LEPrecon in Haven City…"

"How do you—" Holly started.

"Deary, trust me, I know," Levinia said, poking her nose, "I know everything about everyone…"

"You want the Jewel, don't you?" Holly said, "Well you won't get it from us, all we're here for is to save our friends… I KNOW you have them!"

"Smart AND pretty," Levinia smirked, "good match, but not good enough for me… Yes, you are right about one part; your friends are indeed captives of mine, but the part about not getting the Jewel… well, that's where you're wrong…"

Holly put her hand her right back pocket and took out a mini camera, then she turned it on, letting Root and Foaly, who were still in Haven City, see what was happening as Levinia walked away.

§§§§

"I told you it was her!" Foaly exclaimed as they watched Levinia through the camera.

Root grumbled something and listened.

"For you see, my darlings, if you don't retrieve this Golden Jewel for me, then well, I fear the worst for your friends…" Levinia took out a remote control and pressed a button.

From the top of the ground came a cage. Inside were Butler, Mr., and Mrs. Fowl…

"Let them go!" Juliet exclaimed.

"You're Juliet, aren't you?" Levinia turned to her, "well, your brother has been rambling about you for the past hour, BO-RING! Now we have some entertainment…"

She pressed another button with her black polished fingernails and the cage fell lower, underneath were bunches of flames.

"Directly from hell," Levinia smiled darkly again and crossed the room toward Holly, Artemis, and Juliet, "Now, would you prefer that your friends and family suffer a fate of flames and are you going to retrieve the Jewel… well?"

§§§§

Artemis stared hopelessly from his unconscious parents and Butler to the burning flames and for the first time… he didn't know what to do. Juliet glanced at him nervously, thinking the same thing. Holly looked fiercely at Levinia.

"You are cruel, Signorì, nothing but cruel," Holly spat at the fairy.

"Well, Short, you really have your way with words, don't you…" she sneered, "Mr. Fowl, what do you have to say for yourself?"

"I-I," Artemis stared at Levinia, "W-we-uh… We'll find your insignificant Golden Jewel of your grandfather's, if you let our friends and families go!"

"Fine," Levinia said, "as long as I get my jewel I don't really care… so it's a deal then?"

She stuck out her skinny hand to shake on it. Artemis shook it and felt a painful sting course through him. He quickly let go and glared.

"Then let us go!" Juliet said.

"Hmmm… only you and Fowl, then," Levinia said.

"What about Holly?" Juliet exclaimed.

"You really think I'm going to take the chances of letting a fairy escape? No, I'm going to make this difficult, you are going to go through pain to get your family back… of course, I will supply you with a miniature submarine and diving equipment, but that's it," Levinia pressed a button, letting only Juliet and Artemis out and walking out.

Artemis and Juliet turned to Holly, "Don't worry, Holly, we'll free you, Butler, and the Fowls… we promise…"

Juliet smiled at Artemis.

"Yeah, we will," Artemis in turn, smiled back.

"Good luck," Holly called as Artemis and Juliet followed Levinia.

How'd you like Chapter 7, people? Don't worry, Chapter 8 will be up soon!
