Disclaimer: I do not own Artemis Fowl.
Happy easter!
This is an alternative ending to my story. You see, alot of people were disappointed with the ending. And I know some people loved it. But I got this idea shortly after posting the last chapter and I was like "Oh my god! That is brilliant!" but sadly have not had time to write it as I have moved on to another fandom and another account.
So thus this has sprung for during my easter holidays.
Enjoy!
Chapter 10: And they all Lived Happily Ever After
Her name was Diana and I soon found out she was a resident here. Diagnosed with Oppositional Defiant Disorder, she was sent here after she pulled a knife on her mother and was deemed too aggressive for the outside world.
She resided in the ward on the opposite side of the hospital. This was the ward where the residents were dangers to others rather than my ward, where the residents are dangers to themselves.
Coincidentally, her ward was the one where the 'brawlers' resided. Apparently most of her ward was like this. "Brainless imbeciles" Diana would say.
I was still under heavy surveillance after my attempt, but of course I could outsmart my babysitters. And so I would sneak out of my ward to see Di.
We had quite a lot in common. She was of high intellectual capabilities, and was well-taught in the arts and cultures. She originally called London home, which I was quite pleased upon hearing. London was not too far to travel from my home in Ireland.
I fell in love with the way her sweet voice fell from supple lips. I fell in love with the way she would play with her blonde locks when she became shy. I fell in love with the hint of a blush that rose on her cheeks when I complimented her that day. But most of all I fell in love with the way her electric green eyes would sparkle in the middle of a well thought out debate.
I fell in love with her.
And, one month after that last attempt, I told her so. A soft blush rose on her cheeks, and her delicate fingers became entangled in her locks as she told me that she did indeed reciprocate these feelings.
However, she did fail to tell me that her name was not Diana at all. Nor was she even human and she suffered more narcissistic tendencies rather than O.D.D. This was, of course, the infamous pixie, Opal Koboi in disguise.
She had recently escaped from the poorly designed building they called a jail. Pfft as if that could hold a genius. And now she was out for revenge on a certain Artemis Fowl II.
She had done this by slowly chipping away at his sanity. Replacing sleeping pills with vitamins, causing the train to change tracks, snapping the branch poor Arty had attempted to hang himself on. It was all her. And now she had him right where he wanted him.
She would lure him away as the beautiful Diana, the reveal her true self. What would foolow would be his death. And holly Short was not going to save him this time.
So one night, she snuck to the Irish boys room, and cuddled up beside him. Oh how she despised this close proximity, but it was necessary for the plan.
"Arty" she whispered in his ear. He turned around to look at her with his dark blue eyes.
"Yes love?" he questioned.
"I want out. I can't handle it anymore"
And it only took this for Artemis to follow her into the night. They wandered until they were in the countryside beside the city of love, Paris.
Artemis was caught up in the situation, Paris, the girl of his dreams, escaping that prison they call a hospital. It was because of this that he failed to remember that there was a Fairy fort located here. So he was unaware what was happening when he was knocked unconscious by the girl he thought he loved.
When he woke up, he was underground in some form of warehouse. Instantly he knew that it was somewhere in the world he had given up on so long ago. The land of the fairies. And standing in front of him was the beautiful Diana. But something was wrong. She was changing. She grew shorter, her ears became pointy. Before long it was Opal Koboi who stood in front of him.
Not only did this shock Artemis, but it broke his heart. The genius had been so gullible as to believe someone so perfect for him existed. It was downright embarrassing for him.
"Aw was poor Arty in love" the pixie mocked "Well that's what you get when you listen to your heart, It gets broken" a mad cackle left her lips.
"I thought you were more original than to fall into the stereotypical villain role" Artemis was never on to stop the banter, even in a situation like this.
"I know, I know. Even my method of killing you seems stereotypical in the eyes of humanity. But it sounded thoroughly painful so I decided it would do just fine" And, as if on cue, the ground in front of Artemis opened to reveal a pool of acid. Artemis gulped. Now that he was finally facing death, he didn't think he was ready. But there was nothing he could do about it.
Her hands were on his back ready to push. She leaned down to whisper in his ear, almost in the same tone she used as Diana, as if to add insult to injury.
"It wasn't the world that hated you Arty. Just me"
And with one swift push, the life of the genius boy from Ireland was ended in a excruciatingly painful bath of acid to the tune of a mad giggle leaving the lips of the demented pixie.
Gah. That didn't quite work out quite the way I planned. Oh well, it still turned the O.C into an actual character. I'm sure that will please a few critiques. =]
