An Artemis Fowl Stalker
Chapter 3: Meet the Fowls

Artemis continued with school regularly and ignored Hannah as much as possible. He stayed far away from the library and if he saw her, he pretended as if they never knew each other. It isn't in Artemis's character to avoid his problem rather than confronting it but Artemis wanted Hannah to take a hint that he wasn't interested with her and to retreat with some dignity left instead of him telling her that he actually hated her girly attitude type.

He thought he was getting soft considering that he had even considered about Hannah's feelings. His old self would of neglected her feelings and humiliated the girl to cause her as much pain as possible for the time where she made him loose control of his actions.

Artemis hated it most when Hannah blew kisses to him across the hallways.

Hannah has not given up on Artemis yet. Yes she still was following Artemis around the school, stalking him, taking his pictures, and building a scrapbook with all the pictures that she has tooken. She knew that Artemis wasn't interested in her type and hated her for being a slut at times. Yes she knew she was sick minded at times. She thought that she could change Artemis's taste. She lingered around at school and found Artemis avoiding her still. Boy you don't know what you're missing out on Arty, thought Hannah everyday as she saw Artemis turn away from her as she was attempting to talk to him. You will love me one day Artemis. One day you will be mine.

Artemis felt free somewhat easy today. He was feeling well that afternoon because Hannah was not seen at school for a whole entire week. Artemis thought that she has given up and noticed that a genius like him can not be easily seduced by some rich girl. He had higher expectations in the ladies.

Artemis was on his way home from school. As his black limo took a turn into the Fowl Manor driveway, Artemis caught sight of another car in his driveway. The car was very unfamiliar and Artemis did not remember his family ever buying a new car.

"Whose car is that Butler?" asked Artemis as body guard and principle got out of their car.

"I don't know Artemis. It doesn't look dangerous though. I'll run a security check, you stay here."

"No need Butler," began Artemis who had already guessed who the guest was. "I know who it is that's visiting."

By the disgusted expression on Artemis's face, Butler concluded that the guest was not in the liking of his employer.

"Is it her?"

"Yes it is," said Fowl. "The famous Hannah Dellings has come to visit." he replied without much interest.

As Artemis entered his house, laughter was also heard from his parents. Great! Now she's associating with my parents now.

Artemis entered their guest room to see his parents sharing one couch and Hannah on a seat next to them. They were so engrossed in conversation that they did not know that Artemis was home.

"Is that really him!" came Hannah's amazed voice. No doubt his parents were showing Hannah his embarrassing nude baby pictures. Why is it that parents like to do that?

"Yes that's him. Isn't he cute? Tell me Hannah, what are your hobbies?" asked Mrs. Fowl.

Hannah looked like she was giving it some thought and spoke.

"Well what I enjoy most is stalking Artemis around and taking his picture. I'm currently making a scrapbook of all his handsome pictures. This baby photo of him would fit great in my collection. I also like watching him work and studying is facial expression. The way he wrinkles his eyebrows when thinking. He looks hot when he's working."

"Ahem!" coughed Artemis to let them know that he was in the room. He found it extremely disturbing that Hannah is talking to his parents so casually. He did not remember the last time when he was in good terms with Hannah.

"Arty!" screamed Hannah. She quickly got from her chair to give Artemis a big warm hug. Artemis tried to pry Hannah away from his body. Who does she think she is to be allowed jump on me like this? His parents were already snickering at Artemis. It wasn't until when Mrs. Fowl spoke up when Hannah spared Artemis.

"Sit down Arty," said Mr. Fowl. His parents seemed to like the idea that Artemis was already bring a girl home at the age of 15. "Miss Dellings brought us many gifts on her first visit. She sure has great manners."

Artemis was frustrated and angry at Hannah for showing up again in his life. He took a seat furthest away from Hannah, refusing to share a seat with her.

"Why are you here?" demanded Artemis as soon as he sat down. "I don't remember us being this close." His voice and eyes were cold.

Hannah smiled shyly. Yes it was in her plan to visit his parents. To win a man you must win their parents' approval. Now that his parents already see her as their future daughter, convincing Artemis to accept her would be easy she thought.

"Don't say that to your girlfriend. She was kind enough to speak out about your relationship. I know you would of kept it a secret from us. She is brave enough to come here alone." said Mrs. Fowl.

Artemis's eyes turned to Hannah right at the world of 'girlfriend' as if blaming everything on this trouble making girl. What did I do to have this crazy girl after me? "Mother she is not my girlfriend. I hardly know her. She claims to have fallen in love with me when we haven't even had a civilized conversation together. She's harassing me mother. At school she's always eyeing me and giving me these flirty looks. She even touched me!"

"Well there's plenty of time to know each other later and giving you flirtly looks is because she loves you."

"But..."

Hannah interrupted Artemis before he could even finish.

"Arty I have something to show you." And Hannah dragged Artemis out of his chair to his room where Mrs. Fowl had showed her earlier.

"Wait! Let me go!" protested Artemis as he tried to pull away, but Hannah was too strong. Artemis was startled by the lady's strength.

Butler, who has been standing nearby in case if anything went wrong, started after Artemis, but Mr. Fowl stopped him.

"Are you sure it's safe for him Mr. Fowl?"

"Let them have some private time. I bet they were dying to see each other alone." said Mrs. Fowl as if she knew her son really well.

Butler sighed and watched his employer be pulled away to his room struggling from Hannah's grip on his wrist. The door slammed shut and there was quietness once again.

Inside, Hannah locked the door and let go of Artemis.

This time Artemis was prepared. He nearly lost focus last time in the library where she confessed her love to him, but now she was in his territory. This time he would not fall to her looks. He would not let her do the talking this time. This time he was in control.

He put on his calm face and turned to talk some sense into Hannah.

"Ms. Dellings, are you in your right mind? Do you know even what you are doing?"

Hannah nodded.

"Then what are you doing!"

"I'm visiting my beloved Artemis's parents. Don't question me like I did something wrong Arty. I do still love you."

"You don't love me. You don't even know what love is." Well it isn't like I knew either. "You just think you like me but it's just attraction with looks. Don't you think your actions towards me are a little... perverted? Stalking me, have a private collection of my pictures. You know you are invading my privacy and I can sue you for that."

Hannah didn't care what others looked at her as. She had money and everything in the world except a boyfriend. She did have many boyfriends already in her past but she wanted to be serious this time. "So what if it's perverted. If I truly love you then I wouldn't mind how others looked at me as. Besides, no one would talk bad about me because I'm very rich. If you mind how people look at you then I could throw some money at them and they wouldn't dare talk about you again."

Artemis stood facing outside his mansion and shook his head, not believing Hannah's level of insanity.

"Sorry, but I'm not touched by your actions. Hannah, this whole week I have been avoiding you so you could get a clue and give up on me. I don't like you." he paused to think of what else to say. He has never rejected a girl before and was having some time to think of what to say. "I even sometimes hate you. I think you are annoying and crazy. I don't even consider you as a friend. Your presence irritates me very much. I'm disgusted by your perverted actions towards me." He said all this without any regret of hurting her feelings. Anything to get her off his tail is worth saying. "You're even ugly," he added for more effect.

Hannah seemed unmoved by the genius's statements about her. Instead of looking sad and disappointed like Artemis predicted, she kept on talking like nothing he had said mattered.

"It's okay Artemis. I'm very persistent on getting what I want. In this case, I want you Arty. As for you avoiding me, I already know. I know you detest me, but I believe that I can change that. I can be anything you want me to be."

Artemis found himself calmly listening to everyone of Hannah's words instead of trying to make her go away. The word 'anything' echoed in his ingenious mind.

"I love your coldness Arty. Your cold attitude makes you even more manly."

She placed one hand on Artemis's shoulder and surprisingly, Artemis didn't shove it off. He was still listening to Hannah's words. 'anything' She spoke softly.

"What do you want from me Artemis?" Her voice was barely audible since she was whisper in close in his ear now. How she managed to get there was unknown to Artemis. "What turns you on?" Her faint and fastidious but ever seductive Irish voice caused him to remain still and think about her question.

What kind of girls do I like?

Hannah then wrapped both her thin arms around the boy's waist will Artemis went on pondering her question.

Artemis pondered on and on and the only image that came to his eyes was a certain someone whom he has shared life and death with, who was always there to help him get past his troubles. The girl that was always energetic and not wasting a moment to punch him in the face. She had always pained him with her roughness but he liked it.

"Red hair" he barely whispered.

"What?"

Artemis cleared his throat and pulled away from Hannah's embrace and felt proud of the answer he just gave.

He got serious again. "I find auburn hair highly attractive Ms. Dellings. Hazel eyes gets more points too." He looked certain of his reply but Hannah was rather confused.

"Well," Hannah started, "Fine! I'll change myself Arty. I'll go to the salon right away." Hannah started out the door and before she left, she looked back at Artemis. "See you at school tomorrow."

It wasn't until Artemis heard Hannah's car leaving the manor when he realized how shocking his answer was too him. Red hair and hazel eyes. How many people did he know that fits into that description? It has got to be Holly Short.

He looked down to his shoes and admitted to himself the attraction he had to Holly until he heard a knocking on his window. He looked up to see the heartwarming smile of Holly Short motioning for him to let her in.

Artemis smiled back hoping that things couldn't get any worse and maybe the captain would like to help him rid of his annoying admirer.

Author's note: It's rather difficult to put Artemis in character sometimes so a slip of his personality is bound to happen. It think he was slightly out of character in this one but hope that doesn't scare you off. Your reviews mean a lot so review Please!
