Out of the woods chapter 5
Disclaimer I don't own Artemis fowl or Percy Jackson and I don't make a profit from this at all as that would be illegal. I hope you enjoy reading this latest instalment and like my previous statements in past chapters if you have any ideas that you feel could improve the story just message me and I'll see if I can't add it in. I'd also like to say that if anyone is confused about why fairies are stronger around Artemis (Goddess) that is actually very easy to explain. Fairies in the artermis fowl verse gain their magic from the moon ritual and Artemis (goddess) being the goddess of the moon would naturally supercharge any of the fairy folk.
Fowl manor
As their host drove them to their latest sanctuary in a long run of different hideouts on their search for the weapons stolen from Artemis's temple and after the last few months of fruitlessly searching Percy was getting a bit tired of all the rats nests that he and his friends had been forced to stay in. As the group noticed the clearing forming out ahead of the path Butler couldn't help but smile a bit at the shocked look on his new guests faces as they had their first look at Fowl manor and the surrounding property. (No matter how often I see the renovations Artemis and the fairies have made to the manor I can't help but feel in awe of how much the manor has grown since I first started working here and I can't help but feel it will only grow even greater and if this is how I feel how must my guests feel) "Looks like were here everyone, welcome to Fowl manor. I'll drop you off at the cottage that you'll be staying at while you are guests here."
Jason didn't know why but every time Butler spoke to them he felt as if he was in the presence of Lord Mars. He also couldn't help but think of how lucky they were to get to set up in a place like this after all the hell holes that they had been forced to stay in during their quest. (I guess Adam ain't so bad after all but I won't admit that to his face) Nico was also having a hard time believing the group's current luck, especially considering the bad luck that always seemed to follow demigods around like cats chasing mice. (We have to try not to cause trouble while were here. People who have money like this are dangerous if they are crossed and we don't need the extra vendettas and from all the death I'm sensing from this Butler person I feel as if we'd only win in a fight because of our powers and even then it might be very close….. What The Hell is Wrong With That Girl) The guys all leaned away from Thalia as she seemed to be drooling as she spied on the cottage they would be staying at and rushed out as fast as she could when they stopped, yelling something about taking a proper bath and murdering us if we peaked. "Look you guys can finish unpacking, I just need to talk to Adam here to iron out some final details in your living arraignments." Adams partners just acknowledged that they heard Butler with a few grunts from the guys as they started unpacking and dragging luggage into the cottage if it could even be called on with how large and beautiful it looked.
"Look Adam how can I put this lightly, I need you on your best behaviour while you'll be staying here." "Why whatever do you mean my dear friend?" asked Adam while pouting a bit. Butler actually looked a bit annoyed. "As if you don't know why Adam, on nearly every job you go on something goes wrong and it turns into a mess. Do you remember the job we did in Cuba and how you turned a simple reconnaissance mission into a hit and run assassination mission just because you had to hit on the target's daughter." While butler was explaining to Adam, Adam looked quite a bit ashamed while butler looked quite annoyed as they both recalled the disaster of that mission. That had always been Adam's biggest problem beautiful women. Butler was sure he would even have hit on Juliet if they ever met. "Look Adam I know how you operate so please keep a low profile, the young master and his wife just come back from a long business trip and they want peace and quiet while they are with their child." sighed a very worried Butler. He knew that Adam staying low key was as likely as Artemis losing to him in a chess game. Suddenly Adam had a cheeky smirk on his face. "Oh so your young master has finally tied the knot has he, with the way that kid acted I thought he'd die a virgin. Wait don't tell he hooked up with your sister, now it might be a bit weird for you but I can definitely see them hooking up."
If looks could kill then Adam would be six feet under. With the look he was getting from Butler Adam actually feared for his life even though he knew he could take the mountain of a man in a fight. "Ok ok I went too far; I swear I won't ever go there again ok. Well it's been fun chatting and catching up so I'll make sure not to cause you any trouble and any way it looks as if my team is all done packing so I need to get back to them so we can start planning." Butler was actually a bit curies as no job that Adam did was a small one. "Hey before you go, what is the job you're doing anyway?" Adam paused and looked as if he was mulling over the idea of telling Butler what he was up to. "Well its nothing to big this time around, something got stolen from my father's private vault and he blackmailed me into getting it back for him. Well I got to get going my partners are waiting." As Adam left Butler just sighed and went to prepare a meal for the returning couple and called Nopal to help him clean up the house as it was turned into a mess after Juliet and the twins had been playing around inside to entertain Roseline.
"Well this is interesting I knew that Apollo like to spend a lot of time with mortals, but I honestly didn't see this coming. Well I knew things were going to be a bit difficult but I'm going to need a bit more time before I can let Apollo find his dear sister so I'm going to have to cause a bit of interference" As Aphrodite watched her brother and the demigods he had brought with him a few plans formed in her head and a dangerous smile formed on her face. "OH I'm going to have so much fun messing with you Apollo and maybe I can finally get that Nico a girlfriend. Oh I'm really going to enjoy these next few weeks."
Well it looks like things are starting to heat up. The demigods are in Ireland and our dear Luna's past will catch up with her soon. Aphrodite plans to have some fun a mess with people's lives a bit and boy do I feel sorry for Nico. As always review soon or ill devour your memories and if you feel you hve ideas that can help this story along don't hesitate to send me a message.
