Sorry… have forgotten the disclaimer thingy. Right. Anyway, Artemis Fowl does not belong to me etc etc etc. Except for Samantha, whose last name is also not created by me.

Samantha Derph got up from where she was sitting on the grass, slinging her backpack over her shoulder. The sun had set and the place was seemed to grow darker by the second. "Lets go," she said, offering a hand to Artemis, which he took as she pulled him up.

"You are absolutely sure you can find your way back without a flashlight." Artemis stated doubtfully. "Yes, but I have a flashlight here, if you want it," she replied calmly as she dodged a low hanging branch. Artemis was tempted to ask for it, but pride stopped him, and he said, "I'm fine, thanks."

Samantha smirked in the darkness. "Pride. Not a good thing really," she remarked, just loud enough so that Artemis could hear. He scowled.

"Sorry. It was just too tempting. I never really thought that you would make this kind of mistake." She replied, stepping over a tree root.

Artemis frowned. Had he made a mistake? "I never make mistakes," he said sulkily. "Mistake 1) Never say never. Mistake 2) Letting Pride blind you. Mistake 3) You have already made a mistake with that bull tr… Forget it," she said hastily.

Artemis frowned. Was she about to say Bull Troll? How would she know? "What were you about to say?" he asked. "Nothing. And if you continue asking, you will be making the next mistake –bugging me." She replied with a grin.

Artemis decided not to question her anymore. But then his mind went back to what she had said. He had made two mistakes in one sentence. Three actually. He had made a mistake before letting Holly escape from her prison cell. He still regretted having kidnapped her, though. Wait. She had said he had made 3 mistakes right? How did she know about the incident with the troll? "Hmmm… lets see. What kind of things rhyme with bull? Bull head, bull wrestler, bull…" Artemis remarked falsely, pretending to think.

"How about Bull Shit?" she remarked calmly. "Or Bull Troll?" she said softly. Artemis arched an eyebrow. He had not expected her to say that. "What's a Bull Troll?" he asked.

"Artemis, you are such a bad liar."

"What?"

"I read that on your computer Artemis, and your notes. And all your computer discs too."

"You what!" Artemis exploded.

"Sorry. We're out," was her only reply.

"Why. When. How." Was all Artemis said through gritted teeth.

"I'm sorry, I really am! I just wanted to continue reading. And I did it during lunch. Your lab top was lying in your bag. And- I just… found another way into your main frame." She said, not facing him. And before he could say another word, she raced into St Bartleby's.

Artemis sighed. Why was he so emotional suddenly? He had never been like that before. Because she read my diary. That's why. He thought silently. His diary did have some really personal thoughts. And…and… "D'Arvit!" he swore softly as he raced towards the school.

"You know, this girl is one of the best actors I have ever seen," Holly remarked calmly. "I can't disagree," Vein replied as he watched the live video that was being broadcasted from Holly's mainframe. "Neither can I," was Foaly's reply.

"But Artemis would probably want her to show him how she hacked into his computer," Holly said thoughtfully.

"Wonder how she's going to do that…" Foaly added

"Same way she hacked into yours I guess," Vein said with a grin.

"What! She hacked into my computer? It can't be. There were no traces!" he exclaimed.

"You said she was clever," Holly said, smirking widely.

"How did you think she found out about that? Did you really think she hacked into his computer?" Vein reminded

Foaly muttered something that Holly identified as the rudest mudmen swear word.

"Ah ah ah, language Foaly," Holly reprimanded, still smirking.

Foaly swore, Holly smirked and Vein laughed. Then, a voice interrupted them.

"Oops, time to get back to work," Holly reminded as she glanced down at her young charge who was currently in the process of running back to her room.

"Oh hell that hurts…" I muttered as I hurriedly jammed my key into the lock and turned it. The door swung open and I grabbed my key before rushing into the bathroom. I hurriedly thrust my hand under the tap as I turned it, wincing as icy cold water beat against her wound, washing away the blood. I kept letting it run till finally all the blood had flowed away. Done with that, i reached out my un-hurt hand and opened the door of a nearby cabinet, unravelling a roll of bandages and using it to bandage up my wound.

She let out a sigh of relief once she was done and proceeded to take a shower.

Drying out her long black tresses, Samantha Derph sat down on her bed, making a mental list of things that she had to do and could do tonight. Things that she had to do? None. Things that she could do? Hacking, eating dinner, playing with her dog, watching her friend…. Artemis! He had a rather important meeting that night and she wanted to watch it. Grinning to herself, she decided to go down for dinner.

"Hey Sam, how was classes?" her best friend, Marissa, asked as she settled down next to her. "I met, like, the cutest guy in my class!" Dot exclaimed. "Who?" Marissa asked quickly. "His name is Malcolm McLeod, and he is sooo hot!" she squealed. "Do tell…" Samantha said cynically, though she had to admit she was a little interested in hearing who her friend had the hots for. "He has platinum blond hair, silver eyes, and the cutest smirk you have ever seen!" Dot squealed.

"Sam, I heard there's this really hot guy in your class," Marissa remarked.

"Really?" she asked, a finely shaped eyebrow arched. "No one there seems interesting to me."

"No guy interests you Sam," Dot said with a sigh.

"Albert Einstein does," she replied, helping herself to some spaghetti.

"You like his theories Sam, not him," Marissa corrected.

"So who was the hot guy that you said was in Sam's class?" Dot asked.

"This rich Irish guy. Really clever too, he's called…"

"Artemis Fowl," Samantha interrupted blandly.

"You know him? Are you two going out?" Marissa asked.

"Yes, I do know him, but we are not going out," she replied calmly.

"Then why is he walking over?" Dot asked with a squeal.

"Heaven knows why. Why don't you just ask him," she replied, flipping the page of a book that she was reading (Harry Potter).

"Samantha? Could we talk outside for a while?" Artemis asked, feeling a bit uncomfortable for both Dot and Marissa were giggling.

Samantha noted the lab-top tucked under his arm out of the corner of her eye, noticed Dot and Marissa giggling and saw him squirming slightly.

She sighed. "Artemis, this is Dot and Marissa. Dot, Marissa, you two might want to stop giggling because you're making him feel uncomfortable. And I am only agreeing to his request because he wants me to show him how I hacked into his computer, so he can improve his security system." She finished.

Artemis scowled slightly and she smirked.

"Whatever you say Sam," Dot said, still giggling.

"Stop giggling!" she growled before stalking out of the hall.

Once outside the hall, Samantha took the lab-top from Artemis and turned it on. Artemis sat next to her, watching in anticipation.

"Wonder how she's going to do…"Vein remarked.

"After all it is her first time…" Holly added.

Foaly scowled. "If she can get into my computer on the first try, then she can get into Fowl's. Why? Do you think he's security is higher than mine?" Foaly pouted.

Holly smirked again.

"HOLLY!" Foaly almost shrieked.

"By the gods, she did it!" Vein suddenly interrupted.

"She did it! Good on her!" Holly said happily.

Foaly just continued to scowl.

Artemis was having trouble deciding if he should be amazed and angry. Finally, he just sighed. "Sorry," she said softly. "By the way, my friends think you're hot, oh and I think they quite like you," she added with a wink before leaving Artemis to realise what she had just said.

Grinning slightly, she walked back to her room. Unlocking the door, she sat on her bed for a while before pulling her bag pack onto her lap and taking out the dagger. Now that she was alone, she could examine it carefully. Pulling out another dagger from her bag, Samantha removed the rubber piece that covered the tip and placed it on the dagger that she had found. She felt bad about lying to Artemis, but… If she did reveal to him her identity, her two friends would get in trouble. Examining the hilt of the dagger, she noticed that there was one of every different colour jewel decorating the hilt of the dagger. She ran her hand over the Opal, and quickly withdrew it, as though she had been stunned by it. Quickly, she reached for her camera and snapped a picture of all the jewels on the dagger. Done with that, she turned on her lab-top, uploaded the images from her camera, enlarged them and put them in 3D perspective. She looked at the images for a while before finally breathing-

"Oh god."
