Disclaimer: I own neither Artemis Fowl nor Kuroshitsuji, all the teapots and spoons in the world could never change that fact.

Summary: AU. Imagine if Artemis and Holly never made it back to their own time after N01 sent them back but instead they get sent off to 18th century England in which they come across a certain awful nobleman and his butler.

Holly took a closer look at the body. "She was probably no older than 20…" She murmured sadly. "Indeed and it's body shows that it had actually fought back, look." Sebastian lifted the grey hand and looked at the fingertips. "The same kind of hair found on the other body… interesting."

Ciel yawned; he wasn't used to staying up so late. "What is it Sebastian, I am tired of you being so vague."

"Very well, the hairs on this have traces of magic –" He was interrupted by a panicked Holly asking, "Have you seen Artemis?"

Ciel replied dully, "He went to the police carriage to look for gloves."

"That's what I thought but… where is the police carriage?" Holly pointed to the area where the police carriage once was. Suddenly, the air was filled with a cry from a very familiar voice, "HELP!" It was followed by the growl of a wolf.

Holly burst into full sprint towards the area where her sensitive ears told her the cry had come from.

"My lord, I believe it will be better for you to stay here." Sebastian said, his words spoke of worry but his face seemed to not care at all.

"How do you think I will reply to that?" Ciel replied thinking to himself, If I don't go he would probably laugh and call me a wimp… I am Ciel Phantomhive, contracted with a demon to steal my soul once I achieve revenge. I will not be called a wimp by that brat.

Ciel allowed himself to be picked up by Sebastian under the strict orders that once they are able to see Holly and/or Artemis, he is to put him down. This earned him a little snigger from the butler but was wiped off from the howl of a wolf.

"ARTEMIS! ARTEMIS! SHOUT IF YOU CAN HERE ME!" Holly shouted out to the forest around her, it was met by silence. She wanted to collapse, just crumple into a ball of tears. Artemis was her friend, a person she knew would not stop until he saved her. Yet here she was, ready to bawl her eyes out because he may or may not have been kidnapped by a wolf. She so wish that this was all an evil prank he pulled because even if she would've felt betray, at least he wouldn't be dead. Don't think like that Holly. He is defiantly alive, this is the boy that defeated Opal Koboi, the number 1 most wanted fairy, twice, he'll be able to get out or stall long enough for me to find him…

The sound of footsteps made her turn around. "You two are quite slow runners." She pointed out. Sebastian hadn't even broken into a sweat but Ciel was panting for breath, despite the fact that he had only been running for about 3 minutes. In spite of the situation, Holly couldn't help but find a smile when she saw how similar Ciel an Artemis was yet again. It faded when she heard a scream, it defiantly came from Artemis but it was different from the rest. This was a pleading cry from something that was moment away from death, "PLEASE! HELP ME!"

Holly dashed towards where she thought the voice had come from but stopped when she heard Ciel sigh. "What are you doing? Come, it came from this way!"

"Are you sure, we had been running after you yet we still have not found him."

She stuttered when she realized how true his words were, "I-It's all we have."

Ciel turned to Sebastian and undid his eye patch. "What are you doing? Artemis is about to die and you're taking off your eye patch!" Holly screamed, she knew that she should keep calm and not let emotions cloud her judgment. She took a few breaths in and out, Artemis wouldn't panic in this kind of situation and he's just a mud boy, you are Captain Holly Short! The first ever female LEPrecon officer! You are a soldier!

This calmed her down, so she watched Ciel open his right eye and gasped when she saw the mark on it. It was similar to one's on the bodies of the people whose souls had vanished. It was the contract mark of a demon. Ciel's voice was cold and heartless as he spoke, "Sebastian, I order you to find Artemis Fowl the Second and bring him back alive."

Sebastian knelt and crossed a hand over his heart, "Yes, my Lord."

Sebastian began running at an incredible speed which Holly had trouble keeping up with. As she chased after him, she heard Ciel call out after her, "I hope you stop whining once you find him."

"You now it would be a really bad idea to hurt me." Artemis said, leaning against the stone wall of the cave cowering from the massive beast that stood before him. If he hadn't been in the situation he was in, he might have actually enjoyed the image. The beast was beautiful. It was tall, over 8 feet, with a silky silver mane that seemed to glow in the darkness. It's eyes were a bright yellow and it moved like a proud animal, knowing it was the strongest and at the top of the food chain. It's pointless to talk to it. It may be beautiful but it is still a beast. But then it spoke, with a grainy metallic voice. It sounded a lot like a voice coming from an old radio, "Why ever would it be a bad idea." The voice was altered but he could recognize that voice anywhere. "Go on Mud Boy, speak. You really are quite good at it!"

Artemis remained silent, eyeing the creature. It was motionless, it's eyes had become dull and faded, the proud creature that had stood before him only moments ago was gone. It had been replaced by a soulless thing that could never have a mind of it's own. "Do you like it? It's a little beastie I made when I was bored and being the genius that I am, I succeeded. Unlike the stories a half man, half wolf hybrid would be hardly any good. There would be too much human, too much weakness. So I used three quarters wolf and 1 quarter troll, making it an easily controlled beast."

Artemis sneered, "So you just went on ahead and made a whole new species… how did it get here."

Opal laughed, "OH COME ON MUDBOY! YOU SERIOUSLY HAVEN'T PIECED IT TOGETHER YET?" Her voice was shrill and annoying. Then it clicked. Opal laughed, "You see, that's right mud boy, I thought you were different but you're just as thick as the rest of the humans. But it doesn't matter that much considering I am going to kill you now and there is nothing on this earth that could stop me." The wolves eyes cleared and it began pacing around him, growling here and there. Opal's voice seemed to be on replay, "I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you!" Artemis was in a moment that was usually only seen in nightmares and movies, but it was real. The great Artemis Fowl the second is going to die by being torn apart by a wolf. The odd thing was that it wasn't the being torn apart while still being alive thing that bothered him – at least not that much- it was the fact that his mother and father would never see him. His mother would wither and die leaving his father alone to take care of the twins. It was that moment that Artemis realized his mortality, knowing what death feels like and his fully functioning mind didn't care; the only thing it thought about was how wrong people were. When you die, you do not see your life flashes before your eyes and you don't see all of the great things you've done, your friends and family. Because Artemis didn't see that, he didn't see his past, instead; he saw his future. All the things that could be but never would if he died. It made him want to live, it made him yearn for his home, it made him want to be back to normal. It was then that Holly and Sebastian entered the cave.

Holly was running out of breath, which was very hard to do considering how much training she goes through to keep in shape but running for 30 minutes at full speed would tire anyone out. Except for the butler. She thought when she saw that he was moving as nimbly as he did when they started. They were a stone ridge with a cave shrouded in darkness. "We have arrived." Sebastian said matter-of-factly.

They were at the base of the ridge with the cave still 20 meters high, Holly looked up and realized that she would never get up there in time. Suddenly, the butler laid a hand on her shoulder and smiled, "It is my master's order for me to save that boy, you do not need to accompany me."

Holly looked at him, incredulous. "I need to be there to save him! I believe that you can save him but…" She stuttered, trying to find the correct words. "That boy's Butler is not here, leaving him under my care. If I were to leave my responsibilities to someone else, I would not be Holly Short."

A thin, evil grin spread across Sebastian's face. "Then how about I give you a lift," He leaned down and picked her up bridal-style, "For a price."

He didn't give her enough time to answer before he jumped, higher than any human should be able to. But he is not human, Holly kept reminding herself. If it was for Artemis, I would do anything because he would do the same for me. She continued aloud, "So demon, name your price."

The butler was silent and only looked straight upwards as he ran the completely vertical surface and they soon reached the entrance to the cave. He dropped Holly on her feet and looked at her, his eyes glowing red, "Why don't we talk about business later."

Artemis heart soared as he saw Holly and Sebastian enter the cave. He didn't want to die, he couldn't. His family and friends were waiting for him. His mind needed to solve problems, cure cancer, win the Nobel Prize. He needed to live and get back home so his mind processed the situation and he came up with a solution that would most likely solve his problem with the least likely chance of him getting killed. "Opal, do you really want to kill me now? If I die, I won't get to see the look of glorious victory on your face."

The wolves eyes got foggy once more, and a cackle escaped from its' lips, "Do you really think you could fool me mud boy? I get to see your look of failure from this wolf's eyes; I don't need to be there."

Artemis sighed and mustered all of his courage and looked into the wolf's eyes, "Okay then, you coward."

The cackling coming from the wolf's mouth stopped and it looked at Artemis, "Coward? I am Opal Koboi, the greatest mind that ever was and ever will be! I am not a coward!"

"Yet you are too scared to stand by the creature you created as it takes my life." Artemis pointed out, sparing a quick peak at Holly and Sebastian who were trying to make their way behind the wolf. Please don't let Holly get hurt. Artemis pleaded in his head.

Opal was quiet and the only thing that could be heard was the heavy breathing of Artemis, the panting of the wolf, and the crackle of the radio. "Boy, foolish boy. Don't think for a single second that I have fallen for your trap if it even exists. I simply changed my mind on the thought of not wanting to be there in person when you die and watch and laugh as the light fades from your eyes. I, Opal Koboi, am the bringer of death, I shall kill the human I loathe so much and finally take my spot as the greatest villain ever." There was a mechanic creak and smoke began to leak from it. Artemis started coughing and Sebastian and Holly covered their mouths. A platform that was designed to look like a piece of stone from the ceiling began to lower itself. When it hit the ground steadily Opal was smiling with her arms crossed on top of her chess and a smug look on her face. "Why do you look so nervous mud boy? Did you think I wouldn't come?"

Artemis' mouth twitched upwards with irritation, he wasn't nervous because of Opal, he was nervous because of where she was standing. The platform had landed extremely close to the spot where Sebastian and Holly were hiding and they had no way to get to the wolf without being seen by Opal. "No, I was just admiring your entrance."

Opal laughed, "It was quite nice wasn't it? No matter. I have arrived, kill him." She ordered the wolf.

Artemis ducked down as the wolf lunged at him and Holly forgot she was supposed to be hiding and screamed out, "NO!"

The wolf froze and Opal swung around to see Holly, only Holly. "Well, well, well. If it isn't Captain Holly Short, what a pleasure it is to meet you again." Opal said sarcastically. "Have you come to try and save your little boyfriend." Holly couldn't help herself and she blushed. "I think I've struck a nerve, this is fun." Opal's face suddenly turned angry and she creamed at the wolf, "KILL THEM BOTH!"

The wolf was happy to oblige and looked back at the spot where Artemis once was, he wasn't there anymore. "I find that it is quite rude to, what is it you humans say? Crash the party but it was my duty to take young Artemis back to my master. So I think I shall take care of this." Sebastian was standing at the mouth of the cave holding a fidgeting Artemis in his arms. Sebastian looked down at him, "I would like to ask you to stop moving." The look of annoyance on his face made Artemis halt.

Holly shouted from her hiding place behind a rock, "Sebastian, take Artemis to safety, I'll take care of this!" She moved her hand to the spot where she kept her neutrino and remembered that she didn't have it. She also realized that although she could take down Opal easily enough, a massive wolf would be within the realms of impossible, especially in a dress.

"Of course." Sebastian replied and exited the cave via jumping out into the open air. Artemis was surprised by the sudden force pushing down on his stomach and the only word he managed to get out was a long and startle yell of, "HOLLY!"

A/N: I had actually had this semi-finished at around the time i had written up chapter 5 but school work is a bitch. Anyways, there will probably only be a chapter 7 then an epilogue :)
