Disclaimer: As much as I would love it, I do not own Artemis Fowl or any other characters who were published in Eoin Colfer's wonderful novels.
Artemis
"Arty!" Angeline Fowl knocked on the door to her son's room. "Artemis, open the door!"
Artemis Fowl turned from the computer, a frown on his face. He switched off the monitor and unlocked the door.
"Ah, Arty, there you are." Angeline beamed at him. "What do you say to a trip to Scotland?"
"Scotland, mother?" Artemis asked.
"We just got word from the Stuarts -you remember them don't you?- that Ardnt and Victoria are taking a second honeymoon and their daughter will be all alone in that manor of theirs, and they asked if we would check in on her every now and then, since her older brother will also be away. Ardnt and Victoria just left this morning, so let's go over, shall we?" By 'we' she of course ment Artemis.
"Ah, not today, Mother. I don't remember any Stuart family."
"Well it doesn't really matter or not if you remember them, because you can refresh your memory when you see them again," Angeline said breezily.
"I have other priorities, mother." Artemis edged closer to the desk, turning to go back onto the computer. Angeline noticed and put her hands on her hips.
"Artemis! You're not thinking of going back to whatever you're doing, while this poor lonely girl is by herself in a huge manor with no one else around, waiting for you to show up! Butler is waiting in the Bentley to take you to the Fowl jet and from there to Edinburgh, Scotland." She said smoothly.
"Mother, it's such short-"
"Artemis!"
"Fine, Mother."
Reece
"Miss Reece."
"Yes, Kelvin?" Reece Stuart turned a page. She was reading To Kill A Mockingbird over again, out of boredom. She was waiting for Gebhard to return so he could give her another lesson on how to fly a helicopter.
"There are visitors at the main entrance. They are Artemis Fowl and Butler."
Kelvin stood in the doorway, taking up most of it with his bulk. Six feet, yellow blond hair in a strict buzzcut, and piercing brown eyes hidden by black sunglasses. He looked at the figure reclining in an armchair and flipping through a paperback, waiting for her reaction.
"What? Fowl? What's he doing here?" She ceased flipping and sat up, swinging her legs down off of the arm of the chair to rest on the floor.
"Mrs Stuart most likely notified Angeline Fowl of your being alone here. Mrs Fowl must have sent Aremis over to check on you."
Reece's face flushed with embaressment. "I don't need a babysitter! Especially not one my own age!" She stood. "Whatever. Go greet them, then." She turned on her heel and walked out onto the siting room's balcony overlooking the driveway.
She leaned on the railing, a scowl marring her features. The wind teased her hair, plucking blond strands here and there. She tucked her hair behind her ears. She had very straight dirty blond hair, cut purposely choppy and left to just brush her shoulders. She had grey eyes rimmed with blue. "Wolf grey witch eyes," her brother called them. Juvenile freckles marched across her nose, as much as she tried to conceal them with makeup. They made her look younger than she was. At least she wasn't exceedingly short, to add more to the childish effect. At 5'6 she was an average height.
Her eyes latched onto the car pulling up the drive. A man taller even than Kelvin stepped out of the driver's side, as a vampire-esque teenager opened the passenger side door. Butler and Artemis Fowl had arrived. Reece supposed she had better go greet them, lest Artemis tattle to her mother, forcing her parents to come home early to chastise their daughter on proper manners. Wouldn't that be a bummer.
"I don't need anyone to check up on me" was the first sentence out of Reece's mouth. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Kelvin wince and silently slap his forehead. The entrance hall was completely silent for a long moment.
Artemis raised a brow fractionally. "I came here not of my own free will, I can assure you."
"Er, alright. Fowl, I'm sure you need to freshen up after your trip. I'll see you in an hour, then? Right." She turned and walked quickly up the grand staircase before taking an elevator up to her room on the fourth floor. There were five floors in all, the fifth being storage.
Artemis
Artemis watched her go, feeling a smirk lift the corners of his mouth. It was both hard and easy to believe that she was only a year younger than him by the way she acted. And looked, what with those freckles. He consented to being led along with Butler by Kelvin, who showed them to connecting guest rooms on the third floor.
Author's hype:
Awesome my first fanfic. Which is odd, since I've read hundreds on this site. xD This chapter was alright. Usually people don't read fanfics with OC characters, but I'm hoping people won't be too put out by it. Til next chapter then!
