What the Voices Say

Morbid DramaQueen 10

This is my first fan fiction with chapters. I know, I promised to post the entire thing at once, but I'm having a slight writer's block on chapter five, so give me a break. Forgive me for making Artemis less brilliant than usual, but it's hard for me to express genius in a character.

Summery: This is after Lost Colony. The youngest Fowls, the twins, are not in this; I do not know Eoin's idea of their character and would not do them justice. The People will not appear until later chapters due to their involvement not being important to the plot until then. Artemis has been in and out of a relationship with Minerva. A con artist Sophia Iver is the co-main character here. When Artemis puts an ad in a local newspaper she qualifies for Sophia takes a chance and attempts to romance then rob the young millionaire. What if he's the one charming her instead? Told from the point of view of Artemis, Sophia, Sophia's sister, and Butler.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Artemis Fowl, any characters in Artemis Fowl, etc. I also do not own the Arty-newspaper-ad idea in chapter five, that is Agivega's, from the fan fiction Artemis Fowl and the Aztec incident. It's a really good plot. You should read it. But not until you at least finish this chapter.

CLAIMER: The fraction of this that is not somebody's mentioned above is MINE. Not yours, not your relative's, not anyone's but mine. Please ask before you do anything involving it. And wait for an answer from moi. That is all I ask. For now. MDQ10.

Sasha cracked her knuckles and leaned back in the designer leather coffee coloured computer chair.

"Did you get it?"

"Yes."

"And…?"

Sophia's sigh crackled through the line. "It was easy. A close call but easy. "

"Exactly."

"No need to brag. De Beers is surprisingly irresponsible with their gems. I knew there was, in reality, no security. "

"Then why were you so worried?"

"Habit. Remember the good old days, when you actually feared getting caught, and exposure? Because the missions were dangerous, complicated, and we faced execution if caught. You use to quote the Webster's definition of fear."

"I did not!"

"Yes, you did!"

"We'll continue this discussion when you return."

Sophia grinned. That meant Sassy had given up or was embarrassed and did not wish to continue, believe Sophia would forget the argument before she returned home. "Fine."

The line remained silent for the next hour, until Sophia entered the grounds.

Mean while Sasha surfed the Internet, sketching a rough plan for their next "payday. Sure the phrase sounded like it came from some old cheesy mobster film, but they had been using it for over 12 years. Too long to change now.

Recently there had been a newspaper advertisement that caught Sasha's eye. A very interesting ad. One that Sasha couldn't help being more than a little attracted to. It was defiantly a payday. If it were not a prank.

"Young Irish Business man looking for attractive equally

young Irish woman of IQ higher than 130 with natural red hair."

This was Sophia in every sense. She had the dark auburn hair, pale skin, and green eyes. Both girls had a slight American accent coming from spending much of their early childhood in the U.S., but Sophia had more Irish in her than Sasha. Sasha took more after her mother, while Sophia was like their Father. She could pass as a native; even the great Artemis Fowl wouldn't be able to discredit her nationality.

Sasha was positive to advertiser was the young Irish millionaire. "Soon to be billionaire, I'm sure."

Who else would require an I.Q. examination? Sophia could easily get 170, or more, if she felt like it. Ireland might be the country with the lowest I.Q. scores in Europe, but a few of its greatest minds did fake their true scores.

The only difficult part would be convincing Sophia to even consider this kind of con. She was firmly against murder, gold digging, financially or emotionally hurting anyone. If she did lead on Fowl and broke his heart she would never forgive herself. Sasha was counting on Fowl's lust not love. Heartbreak over loss of sex was completely different than heartbreak over loss of love.

To lure Sophia into the idea wouldn't be hard. She would have a nearly foolproof plan moments after her sister brought it in to the conversation. When she realized that Sasha was serious when she mentioned the gold digger idea. This new avenue of theft would be exciting and yet ever less dangerous. But how to convince darling Sophie?

There was no way Sasha could fake their financial need, herself having a terminal illness, or it being their mother's final wish Sophia marry (neither girl ever found her will.).

Perhaps she could convince her sister young Artemis could be a powerful alliance, she had always wanted to give up this life for one of normalness, he could help her do this, if she was his mistress. Sasha could do the actual robbery. All they would need was Sophia's red hair, Irish heritage, and intellect.

She wondered if maybe her sister and the millionaire could click. Both were young geniuses, interested in environmental science, misunderstood by many, loved by few, and Irish. Well, almost both of them.

When the alarm went off later Sasha was on the computer researching the Butler family.

"A formidable group indeed."

Sasha shrieked and proceed to knock the intruder's legs out from underneath her—

And her sister collapsed to the floor.

"Ow." Sophia moaned.

"Sorry!"

"Nice to see you've been practicing, at the least." She stood up, grimacing. "That will be a lovely bruise I'm sure. Oh, and nice save with the siren there, Sassy."

"Sorry, again. You scared me. Wha- did the alarm go off?"

Sophia snorted. "It did. You were so just wrapped up in info on the Butlers-"

She cast a glance at the computer screen. "You must have not heard. Which is not cautious enough."

"Soph, it's late, I was reading-"

"And anyone could have snuck in here, slit your throat, then waited and decapitate me. Listen Sassy!"

Sasha sighed. This was going to be difficult. "It was important, the stuff about the Butlers. I was researching them because they are connected in regarding the plan. The Butlers are involved in the main subject of the new plan."

Sophia got a dreadful feeling in her stomach. Sasha saw her sister go pale.

One name formed on her lips.

"Artemis Fowl…"

Okay. I didn't think this chapter really fulfilled my want of feeling. It makes only a bit of sense.

But that's just how I feel. Too bad I don't know how you feel about this chapter, or story in general.

Oh, wait I can!

If you review.

It will only take a minute of your time.

Thank you.
