I don't own Artemis Fowl or any of the characters the Eoin Colfer has made up but I do own any new characters that spring up from my "brain" (I will call the fluff and dead flies that for lack of a better word).

I dedicate this chapter to ArieiDelmonte; may Ben Fischer die!!!! (He got it on my sacred hoodie, suddenly burst into tears, wah!!!!!)

Celtic Babe/Elven Bride-if it bugs you, srry. But yeah I don't care too much and this is just a stupid worthless fanfic written for my pleasure only. But my excuse is hey it's been a while he's changed!

ArieiDelmonte-my so dedicated fan. Wipes away tear, ok not really both u and I know better. Yep yep I suspected u would. Now u get ur butt in gear and start on ur fic. Ok so the prologue is already out but...hey I said it for u. And everybody else go r&r it for her so she can be happy.

Normal?-ok so srry, yep I have confirmed that u aren't who u thought u r. I'm srry it's was just the anywho thing, I thought it was only her who did that...but obviously not.... Srry if I offended u in nething I said while thinking u were sumbody else whose life I am currently threatening, for more than one reason.

Yue-neko- sure ok. And I'm srry but u didn't win the contest for the shortest review....

Thanku pple that review, hint hint, and yeah and stuff. So on to the story now!! Dumroll....
Chapter 4
Protection

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------

Dear Artemis
Your mother and I have begun to be aware of the need for
you to acquire a new bodyguard. While I have decided to relinquish
anymore illegal endeavors, there are still numerous people who are
disappointed with me. I fear that they may try to get to you in order
to hurt me. Domovoi Butler is an exquisite guardian and bodyguard,
however, I am sure that you have noticed as well the signs of him
aging. A younger bodyguard, who could keep up with your youth, would
be beneficial. I would be happy if Domovoi would stay in our
employment, continue to be your guardian and supervise you and your
new bodyguard. I have already discussed this with Domovoi and he has
agreed.
I have been examining profiles of countless potential
bodyguards. I have chosen a girl who is a year older than you. She has
been trained in various martial arts and is skilled with many weapons.
Domovoi and Juliet can train her on what she else she may need to
know. The problem of her accompanying you while you attend school will
already have been solved, as she is currently attending Beautrix
Private School.
With your consent I will contact her for employment. If
you would prefer to examine these profiles on your own, I will send
them to you and you may decide on your own.

Sincerely,
Your father, Artemis Fowl I

Artemis stared at the letter. Someone that could keep up with my youthfulness? Artemis scoffed to himself, Although his injury has aged him a decade Domovoi can keep up with me and outrun me. Artemis sighed; he had known this was coming. Domovoi had known it was going to happen as well. Artemis just couldn't fire Domovoi, and they had both been waiting for Artemis's parents to do it instead. Despite the fancy wording and the offer to allow Dom to stay, he was still being fired, just in nicer words. Artemis had hoped to have Juliet replace Domovoi, but the Jade Princess was not up for hire. Oh well, what must be done, must be done, Artemis thought.

Dear Father,
I would greatly appreciate it if Domovoi Butler will stay. Go
ahead and hire this girl and have her begin training in any area that
needs to be.

Sincerely
Artemis Fowl II

It was short and to the point. He saw no need in putting in extra words.

"She's pretty."

"Juliet, I asked what you thought about this girl, I didn't ask about her looks." Artemis responded.

Juliet just shrugged.

"What would be your opinion of her as a bodyguard?" Artemis rephrased his original question.

"It doesn't look as though she can, but she is very good." Juliet remarked. "There is something strange I think I need to mention."

Artemis perked p, "Go on."

"She has a blue diamond tattoo. It was never mentioned in her profile and she hasn't said anything about. While I was testing her I noticed it. If it is indeed real, then it would mean she beat Domovoi for the youngest person to earn the blue diamond tattoo."

"Have you confronted her about it?"

"No."

"She mentioned absolutely nothing?"

"Nothing."

"Hmm..."

At that moment Artemis's father, Artemis the Second's father, not Artemis the Second's grandfather. "Hello son"

"Hello father."

"I must tell you, I am especially impressed with this girl you chose for your new bodyguard. Of course Domovoi will still and as a guardian."

Artemis (the Second) didn't bother correcting his father on who made the choice, "That's good."

"She's in here awaiting your arrival." Artemis (the First) turned into the kitchen.

Artemis followed his father, and stared t the girl who was calmly eating an apple.

"Artemis this is your bodyguard." Artemis (I) turned to the girl, "This is your Principal, who you are hired to protect, Artemis Fowl the Second."

The girl stood up and walked over to Artemis (II) and held out her hand, "Hello Artemis, I'm Danielle Maraca."

Artemis just nodded and shook her hand.
Ugh! Why do people have to name their kids after them!!! It makes it so difficult! Though I do admit I did have fun with the Artemis I and Artemis II thing a little. Besides Artemis is a girl name, some Greek goddess of hunting or something like that. Why would you name your son after a Greek goddess?!?! Maybe after a Greek god, but goddess...

Anyway there was one clue in the chapter before this (3? i think. i'm a little brain dead at the moment, used it all up trying to think and write this thing....) about who Danielle is. And in this chapter there is a clue about how she's going to get along with Artemis and another clue to who she is, kinda to her past type of thing. Ten points to the person who goes and finds one. Thirty points to the person who figures out all of them. And if I'm feeling like it, I might just dedicate the next chapter to you if you find them before I get the next one out. So go be a genius and have fun!! Yeah, I was just bored and felt like telling you all that to see if any of you are genius enough to get any off them. Mwahahaha!!!!!! Ok I admit it, the clues were put there by an idiot therefore they probably don't require a genius to figure it out, they may require another idiot like me but....

Well cya and have fun!!! I will get the next chapter out sumtime next week. Congedo!
