Well, no reviews, obviously, but anyway, here's chapter 17 of my first ever Artemis Fowl fic:

Chapter 17

§§§§

"So… thought you could escape Levinia Signorì, did you?" Levinia paced around the room.

Juliet, Artemis, and Holly glared in return.

"… Obviously you did… now… where's the Jewel?"

"We don't have it," Juliet replied.

"What do you mean you don't have it?" Levinia hissed, "You have to have it!"

"You heard her! We don't have it!" Artemis yelled.

"Fowl, don't press your luck, you should be happy that I didn't burn you before… but you will suffer, if you don't hand over the Jewel, you will suffer… take them away!"

Millions of Goblins surrounded Holly, Artemis, and Juliet, and took them to separate cells.

§§§§

"Oh no," Foaly muttered, watching the last Goblin leave.

He turned on the speakers and said, "Holly, can you hear me?"

"Yes, Foaly?" Holly called.

"Holly, there's only one thing to do… you have to build a Jewel, a fake one, it's the only way to free you and your friends…"

§§§§

"Build a Jewel?" Holly muttered, "I can't build a Jewel, who knows how long it will take?"

"Doesn't matter! You have to make it!" Foaly insisted.

Holly sighed, "How?"

"I don't know; use whatever you can, even if it means Fairy technology!" Foaly replied.

"You can't be serious?!" Holly exclaimed.

"Dead serious," Foaly said.

"Alright," Holly sighed again and turned to Artemis and Juliet's cells, "Any ideas?"

"Well, we could always deactivate the Neutrino 2000 and construct it differently to make it Jewel-shaped," Artemis suggested, "then you could always add some magic to make it glow…"

§§§§

Two hours later…

Levinia stepped into the room where Holly, Artemis, and Juliet were. She walked down the isles of cells.

"Hello, my young friends, have you decided to hand over the Jewel?"

"Well make a deal with you, Levinia," Juliet answered.

"What is it?"

"You give us the Shuttle back and let us free; in exchange you get the Jewel…"

"Fine…" Levinia said, "Now, where is it?"

"Once you're gone, we'll take it out…"

"Childish, but whatever," she left.

Artemis, Holly, and Juliet sighed.

"Alright, take it out," Artemis told Holly.

Holly took out the fake Jewel from behind her back and showed it to Juliet and Artemis.

"Brilliant! It looks just like the real thing," Juliet commented.

"Alright, we have it now!" Holly called.

"In less than a second, Levinia appeared.

She ran over to them and reached out for the Jewel.

"Our deal, remember?" Holly scowled.

"Oh yes, guards, open the gates and lead them to the Shuttle!" Levinia said.

Juliet, Artemis, and Holly followed Levinia.

"Now, hand it over!" Levinia commanded.

Holly closed her eyes and gave her the fake Jewel.

Please let this work, she thought.

§§§§

Ella: Yey! Chapter 17! And for those A/J fans, chapter 20 will be all romance ;)

Holly: Will Levinia accept it?

Levinia: What do you mean accept it? Are you hiding something?

Artemis: Nope •hums to himself•

Juliet: We'll kick your—

All: Have a nice day!
