Ch. 4 Powers Gone Wrong

The room suddenly erupted in to claps. Artemis's parents were smiling and applauding their son's performance. Butler himself was a little shocked, but still impressed. Artemis allowed himself a small satisfied smirk. (A/N Say that last sentence ten times fast!)

Angeline hugged her son and Artemis I talked to Artemis II, asking questions about how he controlled such powers and how he made it snow. This went on for about 5 minutes.

At last Artemis was allowed to escape to his study, after a good dose of hugging and questions from his parents. Butler followed his master and stood in the room by the desk while Artemis returned to his typing.

Just then, Juliet Butler walked in. She waved to Butler and then bounced onto a chair. Artemis looked up disapprovingly, and continued typing. "What do you want Juliet?" he asked in a bored sounding voice. The blonde smiled innocently.

"Nothing." She replied, still grinning. No sound was heard in the room except for Artemis's typing. Then the boy broke the silence. "I don't believe you." Juliet pouted. "Why not Arty?" Artemis finally stopped typing enough to look at his bodyguard's little sister.

"Why?" he snorted. "Don't make me laugh, Juliet." Butler chuckled. He was sure that Artemis hadn't laughed more than 2 times in his life. Well, maybe 5. Butler quickly stopped abruptly when Artemis threw a scowl at him.

"What's up with you today?" asked Juliet said looking at Artemis with curious green eyes. He looked back at her, then realized he had nothing to say back. This was unacceptable for Artemis Fowl the Second. But nothing was to be done.

Artemis looked at Butler for help. The manservant saw the look of helplessness in his charge's eyes and acted quickly. Butler grabbed Juliet by her shirt collar and started to carry her out of the study. She protested, of course. Who wouldn't?

"Dom put me down!" Juliet squirmed in Butler's grasp. Butler did, once they were both outside the door. Juliet frowned and stuck her tongue out at her brother. "What was that for Domivoi?" She asked still frowning.

Butler hushed her, and quietly placed an ear to the study door. He heard no sound, all but the typing of Artemis's computer. When Butler was satisfied that Artemis would be in no danger, he motioned for Juliet to follow him downstairs.

She did so, and when they were both in the kitchen, Butler began to talk. "Artemis isn't himself anymore." This caught the girl's attention, and she leaned in closer. "What do you mean?" Butler hesitated. Should he tell Juliet about Artemis's change in genetics?

Upstairs in the study, Artemis was struggling against a newfound enemy. His ice powers. His emotions controlled them, and this made it extremely hard to focus on his project since he was a little nervous about Juliet finding out about the ice powers.

Snow and ice kept coming out of his hands at every movement. Soon his whole keyboard was frosted over.

Artemis suddenly was desperate. He couldn't control the powers! He couldn't control anything he did with his hands. Artemis looked with terror at his pale and slender fingers. No, I must control it! He thought fiercely.

Taking a deep breath, Artemis resumed typing, for the ice had melted quickly. Once again, the ice and frost covered the keyboard, and then the desk. The floor was slick with ice soon and then the walls. It wouldn't stop moving.

Artemis watched with fright as the ice spread towards the door. Nothing seemed to stop the ice. Nothing could….

Butler was about to talk when he stopped and listened. Something was wrong. He could feel it. Juliet was still waiting for her brother to talk, and was confused when he didn't. "Dom what…"

She didn't finish, for upstairs a clatter was heard. Butler bolted, and Juliet instinctively followed. Both the siblings ran up the stairs and to the study door. Butler stopped when he saw ice creeping out from under the door. Oh no….he thought.

Juliet looked over his shoulder and gasped. "What is that? Wait….Domivoi, why is there ice in the house?" Butler wasn't listening; he had already opened the door to the study. Inside was covered with ice and frost. The walls, the floor, everything!

Butler stepped in, followed by Juliet. She gaped and managed to stammer out," W….wow….." Butler looked at his sister in surprise. "Why 'wow'?"

Juliet shrugged and smiled. "It's…really pretty." Butler blinked. This was a rare moment when he was speechless. In fact, it was the first. His baby sister could surprise him. Butler looked up and realized it was snowing.

Juliet grinned. "Look Dom! It's snowing!" She twirled and slid across the ice. "Yeah, I noticed." muttered Butler, scoping out the area for Artemis. After all, he was the whole reason they were up here. He wasn't there.

Juliet stopped sliding on the ice and looked over at her brother. "Wait, where did this snow and ice come from?" Butler frowned and strained for any noise coming from the other rooms. No sound throughout the whole Manor.

"Dom?" No answer. "Butler, please! Tell me what happened here!" Juliet pleaded. "You can ask Artemis when I find him." He answered gruffly. Butler walked carefully out of the study and poked his head into Artemis's room. No one.

Downstairs showed no results, as did the laboratory. The last places were outside and the attic. Butler was sure Artemis wouldn't be outside, because that was where his parents and the twins were having a picnic.

The last place was the attic. It had been restored since Mr. Fowl had been found to its original state as a lounge for Artemis I and Angeline. Of course, they didn't use it much anymore, on account for spending most of their time with their sons.

Butler led the way up the stairs, wide and white, to an oak door with cravings in the wood. He placed a hand on the cool metal doorknob, and slowly twisted it. Inside was full of light. A breeze rippled through the air and once inside the room you could see it was massive.

The ceiling was high and beautiful paintings covered it, curling vines and golden flowers. The floor was hardwood, and polished to the point where you could see your reflection. The walls were painted a soft cream and had a welcoming environment.

Juliet looked around, and was still surprised that this very room could be a place of sadness and pain. Just several years ago, this room was dark and gloomy, often filled with the sound of Angeline's hysterics.

The room had been filled with dust and old artifacts or chests. Now it seemed a carefree and airy place. Juliet liked it, and promptly forgot the reason she and her brother were there. Butler did not forget and was glancing around the room quickly.

Like mentioned before, this room was large. It seemed to be about 90ft x 30ft, but not as big as the main floor space. Windows lined the right side, silky curtains blowing in the wind. Next to each window, inside the ledge where the window was placed, was a cushioned bench-like seat.

On the far end of the room, on one of the benches next to the window, sat Artemis. He was staring out the open window at the gardens, wind blowing his usually neat hair. The boy didn't seem to notice Butler or Juliet.

Butler watched Artemis for a minute, trying to read his expressions. This was proven impossible as always. He motioned for Juliet to stay where she was, and then approached his principal. No reaction was stirred for the boy.

One quiet breathless moment passed then Butler spoke hesitantly. "Artemis?" No reply. Butler took in a breath. "Artemis, do you want to talk about this?" Butler moved closer to the quiet boy.

Nothing was heard for several minutes, and Butler was about to give up. He sighed and turned to leave, but a quiet voice stopped him. "I didn't mean to freeze the study." Butler looked at Artemis. He was still staring out the window.

Butler was aware of Juliet's gasp and that she was standing behind him. But the manservant focused all his attention on Artemis. The boy sighed, and turned to look at Butler and Juliet. His hazel and blue eyes were filled with an expression that Butler had never seen. Sadness.

"Yes. I know Artemis. But what happened?" Butler asked, slightly concerned. Artemis looked down at his hands folded in his lap. "I…I lost control…." He said in a shaky voice. Now Butler was very concerned. Artemis never faltered when he spoke.

"What do you mean?" the bodyguard asked. Artemis nearly smiled. Nearly. "I believe you already know, old friend." Darn it, thought Butler. He did know, but Juliet didn't. Artemis noticed this quite quickly and sighed.

"I suppose I must tell you the whole story now." Juliet nodded hand on her hip. "Very well. I shall begin as soon as I can." Both Butler and Juliet knew this meant that Artemis wanted it quiet so he could collect his thoughts.

It was silent again for one minute then Artemis began to speak. "This morning I received a call from Holly. In it she said that Foaly had made a new machine." Juliet interrupted. "Sooo…naturally she wanted you to come to the Haven…"

Artemis shook his head. "Foaly wanted me to." He corrected, and then continued. "Holly picked Butler and me up at Tara, then we made our way underground." Artemis paused and then continued. "Once underground, Foaly took us to the lab where the new invention was located."

"What did it look like?" asked Juliet. Artemis pondered this question. "Well, it looked a bit like a shower, but metal. The sides were glass and the top was domed. There also was a door of glass." He answered.

"Anyways, Foaly didn't really explain all the ways this machine worked, but he gave the basics." Juliet grinned. "Enough to satisfy your paranoia?"

Artemis shook his head. "I do wish he would have explained more in depth, but it was clear that Foaly wanted to start right away." He sighed for the umpteenth time. "I decided just to hope for the best."

The genius wrinkled his nose. "Most unlike me." He said more to himself then to the audience of listeners. "What happened next?" asked Juliet, eager to hear the rest of the story. Artemis began again.

"Once I was inside the invention, Foaly began to insert new DNA into my already existing genetics. Foaly chose to give me ice powers, as you already know. Then, things began to get strange." Artemis said, deep in ponderings and thoughts.

Juliet looked as she was about to explode with curiosity. "C'mon Arty! Please go on!" Artemis snapped out of his trance. "Alright. Well, I realized that ice was coming out of my fingers, like this." He waved a hand and produced a shot of blue ice.

Juliet immediately fell under a trance at the beauty of the ice. "Whoa…." She murmured. "Artemis, how do you do that?" asked Butler, equally interested. Artemis smiled, looking at the ice he produced. "I don't know, but watch this."

He whirled his fingers and snowflakes suddenly danced around him. Artemis gathered the tiny ice particles together and made a snowball. He grinned wickedly at Juliet and threw the snow at her.

It actually hit her. Juliet was quite surprised. Artemis never had good aim, but now it seemed he had magically thrown the snow and hit his mark. She yelped as the snow hit her.

Then she laughed. "Do it again Artemis! Do that again!" Sometimes Juliet can be such a child, thought Artemis. He shook his head. "No. Remember you were the one who wanted to hear the story."

Juliet remembered and settled down again. Artemis began once again. "I noticed that ice was coming out from my fingers, and knew that Foaly must have given me ice powers. The machine began to shake something dreadful, and the ice became stronger."

Artemis shook his head. "That's all I remember, before everything went black and I woke up in Butler's arms." Juliet watched Artemis a little while longer, then asked, "What about the study?" "I lost control of my powers." answered Artemis. "Really, Juliet. I thought I already told you that." The girl grinned.

"You did, Artemis. I just like annoying you." "So you do. All too much." He returned, shooting her a glare.

Juliet suddenly remembered something that she was going to do later that day. She knew it would absolutely perfect to annoy Artemis with. "Hey Arty! Do you want to watch a movie with me?" Artemis looked warily at her, then Butler.

"Depends on the movie." He answered standing up and beginning to walk to the door. Juliet grinned. Artemis caught the evil glint in her eyes, and said, "Oh no! Juliet, I refuse to watch that movie!" She pouted.

"But Arty, it's a classic!" Juliet called after Artemis as he walked down the stairs. Butler trailed after her sister and Artemis, sensing that Artemis would probably have to give in eventually. Artemis glared at Juliet as she pursued him into the hall.

"No Juliet! I absolutely refuse to watch that movie with you!" With that he headed down stairs to the kitchen. Juliet thought carefully. What could she do to force Artemis to watch the movie?

Hm, take all his suits? No, she had done that several times, and it no longer had effect. Ooh, sing annoying songs over and over? Nah, Artemis would just get Butler to take her away. Suddenly, Juliet had an idea.

Juliet had recently done some…shall we call it….investigating on Artemis's computer and found that he had a file full of Disney movies. Every single movie you could think of was there. Juliet had stumbled upon perfect material for revenge.

And she was going to use it.
