Ok, hello everyone! I am going to try out an OC – I know a lot of people don't like them but don't worry it's not going to be a teenage girl who falls in love with him or another cruel genius who is more he than him. So, please comment and tell me what you think.

Also another note Artemis went missing for three years and is 15 now so to avoid complications of him returning to school the few teachers and students remaining at Saint Bartleby's that knew him were mind wiped.

Mathew Luck was laying on his bed in the dorm room he and Artemis Fowl the Second shared at Saint Bartleby's School for Young Gentlemen. Artemis Fowl was new to Saint Bartleby's, Mathew was finishing his second year. They were in the same grade. Artemis Fowl had arrived the day before spring break, got settled in his room, attended classes and then left. School had been in session for an entire business week after the fortnight holiday and Fowl had not yet arrived. Mathew thought this was odd but wasn't overly interested. It was nice having the room to himself. He had only seen Fowl briefly and had not spoken to him. He had heard the horror stories about the young prodigy but had yet to form an opinion on him personally. Not that he hadn't been affected by these rumors, Mathew suspected that he would not like Artemis but what of it. It wasn't as if he was there to bother him anyway.

Mathew rolled over to stare at the off white ceiling, then turned to look over at the empty bed across from him. Mathew came from a wealthy family, not compared to the Fowls by any means but the Saint Bartleby's $10,000 tuition wasn't a stretch. He was also something of a playboy witch made it odd that he was spending his Friday evening in his room. The truth was that he was failing several subjects and was not allowed to leave campus. It wasn't that he wasn't capable of getting the work done – far from it – it was just that he didn't care.

Boredom didn't suit Mat. He decided to turn on the television. Flicking through a few channels he stopped on a news broadcast.

The Fowl family has held somewhat of an empire over Irish and European business for decades, fluctuating with its own economy…

"Ha!" snorted Mathew, everyone knew they were crooks.

Some of you may have heard of Artemis Fowl the Second who has the highest tested IQ in Eurasia, only being surpassed by a former Chinese national who died 12 years ago at age 109. Artemis Fowl and his father have gone missing. Irish officials are working with the Fowl family on the case. It has long been rumored that some of the Fowl family's business practices were less than lawful, especially after Artemis the First's first disappearance several years ago, but Angeline Fowl assures us that under her husband's eye the Fowl family has been entirely legitimate and that rumors of underworld enemies being involved in the disappearance are unfounded.

Mathew held his mouth open. So that's what happened to the Fowl kid, no wonder. Underworld enemies being involved in the disappearance, unfounded? What was this woman playing at? He shut off the television not wanting to hear more. His roommate had disappeared, why? He got up and began pacing the room, the news had sparked his interest, he wanted to know more.
