Artemis opened his eyes groggily. The events of last night flashed through his exceptional mind, but... He was on his bed... In his room... perhaps last night was simply a dream. Unfortunately he wasn't so lucky. "Artemis! Thank Frond you're awake! I was so worried! What happened!?" Artemis hissed in pain. She was way to loud. When did Holly start yelling so loud? (For he knows a lot about how she yells...) "Please, Holly. Can you be a tad less lou-"
"BUTLER! ARTEMIS IS AWAKE!"
He hissed again. She was to damn loud! " Holly please be more-" all of a sudden the door slammed open, and in rushed a very concerned six foot tall bodyguard. "ARTEMIS! Thank god you're awake we were so-!" This was too much for poor Arty's sensitive new ears. He couldn't deal with a elf, let alone a six foot tall immensely worried bodyguard! "QUIET!" Now considering the fact that Artemis Fowl the Second almost never yelled, and the fact that he woke up only two minutes ago must be taken into consideration when I say, everyone shut their mouths immediately.
Artemis composed himself best he could. All the blankets tucking him in tight, did not help his case. " Please, you are being much to loud." He said sulkily, clutching his ears with his hands. That door slam hurt! "It hurts. Can you lower your voices?" They both had equal looks of concern. He was fine. He couldn't look that bad. And besides Holly had healed him. " I am very much alright. I simply need to get ready. I'll explain downstairs in a little while." They both nodded and silently left the room.
' I said quiet not mute...' Artemis thought grumpily. It was weird considering Artemis was a morning person. He thought nothing of it. He was stiff as it was. And he definitely had a tiring night. When he got to his bathroom he decided a shower was in order.
He stripped down and let the cool moisture run down his skin. After about ten minutes he got out. When he went to the mirror he started to do his regular professional style hair, but once he was done he found something out. He did not like it that way.
So he shook his head like a dog, and looked back in the mirror. His hair had layers and was spiked on the outside but it looked completely natural. He had not seen it like this since he was around five tears old! Yesterday he would have thought it to be absolutely ghastly. But today he loved it. He loved it immensely.
Next when he brushed his teeth he found another thing. His canines were more... Canine. Sharper. They looked sharp enough to bite into flesh. Oh and his ears were slightly pointed.
Artemis knew this was probably another part of being a werewolf. Last night while he was changing he learned to accept it. It was now part of him. After all he had some experience with matters of the like. *cough*Orion Fowl*cough* but he did not want his family to find out. He was afraid of the outcome. Afraid of what could happen. So he decided to keep it a secret and tell Holly and Butler a lie about last night.
Getting out of the bathroom he proceeded to look for his outfit. He chose some black skinny jeans his mother had given him, and a plain dark blue shirt with a v-neck and a pocket on the right chest. He looked in the mirror and smiled. But it was missing something... He looked around the room with a careful eye. He found two things. One, His eyesight was sharper, and two, a dark brown leather band given to him by Juliet last Christmas.
He slipped it on and looked in the mirror. He flashed himself a toothy smile. As if to say 'Good job Artemis. Yet another work of genius. ' He proceeded to casually stroll out the door in search of where that delicious aroma was coming from.
