A/N: To explain the spelling behind Artimys's name. Ehem. I needed a way to differentiate between the two Artemis's, so I changed the spelling. turns a happy to gaze to zelgadischimera and begins to appluad Yay, you have the honor of submitting the FIRST review for the story! I will keep the characterization part in mind, and try not to be to OOC with anyone else. Thank you for the wonderful suggestion. And to anyone else who has read the story and not reviewed ehem I'm sorry it took so long. School started again. Sigh. It's hard keeping up straight As.
Disclaimer – To keep the lawyers from my home, I am forced to admit that I was not the genius that created Holly, Artemis Fowl, Foaly, Mulch, or other various cool characters. It was Eoin Colfer. But let me tell you now, all others are mine, and I will hunt you down with my sniper rifle if they are stolen! MWAHAAHAAHAAAHAAA!
Chapter Two – The World Only Needs ONE Artemis!
Artimys Aren Katian awoke from her nap on the front porch of a large, Victorian style house in the middle of nowhere and shrieked. Five people where looking at her. Two where humans, or at least one was, the other qualified as "giant" and the other three where most definitely not. One was a centaur. The other was an elf. And the third had to be a dwarf.
"What are an elf, dwarf, centaur, giant, and boy doing on my front porch?" She asked sitting up.
They all looked alarmed. "How do you know what we are?" asked the elf quickly.
Artimys shrugged. "I read a lot of fantasy. Now, answer my question, or please leave."
"You don't seem to alarmed." said the elf.
Artimys smiled, a cold smile. "You still haven't answered my question. "Who are you and why are you here."
At the sight of her smile, everyone but Butler and Artemis shivered. Butler because he was used to it, as it looked exactly like his charge's smile, and Artemis because it was his smile.
Holly thought that maybe having the name Artemis meant you had a cold smile, but didn't say it out loud. Instead, she answered the girls questions. "I'm Holly Short, P.I., and this is my partner, Mulch Diggums, and this centaur is Foaly, lad technician. The "giant" is a human, Butler, bodyguard to Artemis Fowl, the boy. We are here because we need you to help us save the world."
Day earlier, Fowl Manor
Artemis packed his bags, remembering what had happened. Foaly had shown them that the only way to save the world from plunging into chaos was to get a demon to help them.
"But demons thrive on chaos, so it wouldn't make sense for them to help us." pointed out Artemis.
"I know." said Foaly. "Which is why we need her." he pointed to the screen, where he had brought up the profile of a young woman. "I ran a search and found that this girl has demon blood. She doesn't know it, but it's there. Now, every human has demon blood, as demons and humans both create chaos, they're like distant cousins. She how ever, is like the daughter of a demon, her blood is more powerful than that of the cousins. So we need her."
Artemis leaned forward to examine her profile.

Beside all of this was one of Foaly's digital replicas of her. "This is what she most commonly wears, looks like, ect." he explained She had long hair that hung down to her waist in a pony tail, and was wearing a pair of combat boots, cargo pants, and a bright orange T-shirt that said "One day I will rule the world, and you will regret having laughed at this T-shirt."
"She has a nice smile." noted Artemis. Indeed the girl had a bright, cheery smile.
Artemis now prepared for the trip to America. It turned out that Artimys and her mother spent the summer in an old farm house owned by her uncle by her one of her mother's new husband that probably wouldn't last any longer than the others, so that was where they where going. His parents were surprised when Artemis came in and told them he was going tomorrow. His mother said that she thought he would leave later that week, but Artemis told them that he remembered a special event he had heard of that was the next day, so reluctantly his parents agreed to let him go.
Old Farm House Present
They all sat around an old table watching as Artimys digested what they had just told her. It had taken half the day, lunch, and four mugs of tea apiece to get through the entire story, as she would always stop them to verify facts and ask questions.
"So," she said, taking a swallow of tea, "you need me to get some rid of some demon fellow out to destroy the world."
"Yes." answered Artemis, "What do you say."
"I say," she replied, "give me a day, and then lets go kick so demon butt!" She got up calmly and collected cups and began to wash them.
Everyone stared at her, aghast. "What?" she asked them, turning.
"Well," stammered Foaly.
"What he means is," cut in Mulch, "we didn't expect for you to go so willingly.
Artimys smiled, that evil smile. "I'm bored. It will be fun."
Holly stood. "This isn't some little video game that you can start over if you loose."
Artimys turned, completely serious. "I know. But I have always found this thrill in doing dangerous, life threatening things. I'm not an adrenaline junky or anything, I just like doing active things. Besides, it is not every day you get to save the world."
There was silence. "Now," said Artimys, "Artemis, I would like to give you a makeover."
A/N: Heeheehee. The make over. Just you wait. I have so much evil in mind! Hahaahahaha! But you have to wait till I post! Mwahahahahaha! The evil an author can do!
Dreaming-Cat-369: eheheh. Yeah...spelling isn't exactly my strong point. I'm glad you liked it!!
