Disclaimer: I do not own Artemis Fowl.
Eva Kasumi: Yeah, I almost always have a lot of typos and grammatical errors in my writing. The main reason for that is hat when I finish a chapter I'm so excited about it that I want to post it right away. That's one of my biggest flaws is my impatience. It takes place after EC, but Artemis has regained his memories from Mulch, I'll talk about that a little more in this chappie. I'll try to remember to proofread this one too. ;)
Ever1: LOL. For what it's worth, he doesn't really like her either. She might die, who knows what will come out on this computer. I don't even know everything that's going to happen.
Chapter 3
Some history might be a little helpful at this point. Around the age of 15, a very strange person who went be the name of "Mr. Diggums" contacted Artemis. This communication came in the form of a package containing a small disk that looked slightly like a coin. After Butler examined it for any dangers and found it clean, Artemis slid the cd into his computer and opened the file. At first Artemis hadn't the slightest idea what anything on it meant. Whoever wrote this was talking about a book, and people crawling in the mud. Then it hit Artemis like a ton of bricks. His memories flooded back into his mind faster then even he could comprehend. Holly, Foaly, Root, the whole LEP, the goblins, the pixies, the ransom money, everything came back to him in a flash. A slow smile spread across his face at every new memory.
Ever since that day, he and Mulch had been the perfect team. Artemis thought up elaborate plots and Mulch pulled them off. It was the perfect criminal relationship. It was difficult, of course, to keep all this hidden from Emily, but well worth it.
In all honesty, he didn't really care for Emily. He hadn't even planned on marrying her until his true love's death, Alanis Darion. They were made for each other. She wasn't exceedingly beautiful, but she was pretty. She had a little passed shoulder length brown hair and shimmering green eyes, with a few freckles speckled across her nose. The first thing that Artemis noticed about her though, the first thing that drew his attention was her elfin feature that reminded him so much of his faerie friends. She was short, about 5'2 with a pointy look to her. Artemis almost thought she was a faerie, but this thought was quickly dismissed when he saw how shocked she was when she meant Mulch. She wasn't brilliant either, but smart enough to get her by. Artemis enjoyed her intelligence, he was able to tell her some things that she didn't know, but he could still carry a conversation with her. Like a glove and a hand.
His parents didn't approve though. Alanis came from a middle class, unknown family. Not poor, but average. The Fowls didn't marry into average families any more then they married into poor families. Artemis had hoped, when he told his parents about the engagement to Alanis, that some of Holly's magic could find it's way back to Artemis Fowl the first and soften his heart slightly. But alas, all of her magic had been drained out of his system, and he quickly turned back to his cold self. He was angry at first, very angry. However, eventually he gave in and gave his consent. It was one of the happiest days of Artemis' life.
Then, tragically after their engagement, she was killed in a car crash. Artemis wanted nothing to do with anybody after that. A few months later though he realized that he and his parents were the last of the Fowls, and if he didn't marry and have a child then the Fowl line would die with them. He couldn't let that happy, so he married the person that his mother had wanted him to marry all along, Emily. Emily, unlike Alanis, was extremely beautiful and came from a wealthy family. Emily was a perfect wife for an aristocrat, able to plan parties and decorate houses. Artemis didn't love her though, and that was enough to bring anyone down, even when they had such a beautiful, obedient wife.

"Talk to me," muttered Foaly to no one in particular. "Tell me what you did to those scientists."
For the last week, Foaly had thought of nothing but the tooth. The LEP officers were taking bets on when he would have a nervous break down from all the stress he was layering on himself.
"I don't think it can talk," a voice behind Foaly made him jump.
"I know Holly," he said after he gathered himself together. "But I wish that something different would happen. One minute it's bustling with activity, stealing peoples magic and such, and the next it's completely idle."
In frustration, he launched a wrench at the table. Very un-Foaly like, but not without repercussions. The tooth suddenly glowed brighter then Foaly would have thought possible, blinding him and Holly both. They would be seeing pink spots for several days. Just as quickly as it had come though, it was gone.
Foaly gingerly walked over to the table, and then let out a small gasp. Holly ran to his side, repeating the reaction.
On the tabletop, burned deep into the steel, was one word.
Artemis.
"Is that different enough?" Holly's voice shook ever so slightly.
A/N: Foaly is a little ooc, and I'm sorry about that, but I need this scene really bad. Also, Alanis is NOT an elf, she just looked a little like one. She's not and elf, she has no relation whatsoever to the faeries. Just thought I'd let you know, so that people don't flip the switch on the Mary Sue alarm. Anyway, sry for such a short chappie, but I wanted a cliffie.
