Loading ...Chapter Eight - Three Words
“This is just wonderful.” Artemis thought. He was tied to a chair, and the ropes were starting to cut into his wrists. Moreover, he was gagged, so he couldn’t call for help. Not that the great Artemis Fowl would ever actually call for help.
Koboi and Minerva had apparently already constructed a foolproof plan to abduct him. The goblins had attacked first, shooting those softnoses. Then the two genii had set off a couple of bombs via remote control, and while the LEP was fussing over that, plus counterattacking the goblins, they’d slipped off, taking Artemis with them. Holly, of course, was the only one who hadn’t been distracted, and there was a mad chase. Then Opal had shot Holly with a Neutrino 2000 she’d stolen from the LEP. Holly had collapsed, and Opal had snapped a pair of Dragonflies on them and sent them off. Minerva kept a close eye on Artemis the entire time, and she was starting to look more and more like a cat.
Once they got to Opal’s new headquarters, Minerva had obtained some rope, tied Artemis to the first chair she found, and bound a gag over his mouth. “Not so great now, are you, Artemis?” She’d smirked in his face.
Normally, Artemis would have been fascinated by the technology in the room around him, which appeared to be some sort of lab. But now, under these intense circumstances, he hardly noticed.
Now he had to do two things; free Minerva from Opal’s spell and save the Lower Elements. This was starting to get complicated fast, since he had no clue how to unmesmerize his girlfriend.
Fortunately, Minerva had bound him in a chair placed against the metal corner of a wall. Artemis scraped at the rope around his wrists, and they fell to the ground. Where was Minerva? He got to his feet and untied the gag and threw it aside.
“Where do you think you’re going, genius? I was watching you through a security camera the whole time.” Artemis whirled to the right, and saw Minerva standing in the doorway. She was holding a Neutrino, and it was aimed right at him. Her finger was hovering dangerously over the trigger. “Don’t move, or I’ll shoot you.”
“Minerva.” Artemis slowly, cautiously started walking towards her. He kept his voice calm, disguising his pounding heart. “Why are you doing this? You know Opal and the goblins are the foe. So why are you willingly joining them?”
Minerva cocked the gun. “Don’t move.”
Artemis stopped walking, but continued talking. “Come out of it, Minerva. Opal is manipulating you like you’re just a puppet. Please, fight her spell, okay? You know that I like you, and I’d do anything to get you back. I would even let you shoot me, if that’s what you want.”
Minerva’s hand trembled.
“But if I let you shoot me, then when you wake up, you will miss me, won’t you? So do not do this, Minerva. I love you.”
The gun clattered to the metallic floor. Minerva fell to her knees, her shoulders shaking. A single glittering tear slid down her cheek and dripped to the floor.
“Artemis,” she sobbed quietly. “You don’t know how long I’ve waited for those three words.”

OMG!!! I LUUUUURVE this fan fic!!! It’s gonna be A/M right? Coz I don’t wanna waste my time reading another A/H. I love H/T…sooooo cute!!!
Please update! I’ll be waiting!!! So sweet…you could edit some stuff like, in the first chapter, when Minerva asks like, ‘where did you learn that?’ about Arty’s magic, you could put instead of “I siphoned off some magic from the warlock circle and learned how to use it”, you can put ‘I stole it’, something simple sometimes does the trick
Great fic, update!
April 21st, 2007 at 9:33 pm
My two favourite pairings are H/T and A/M and there both (by the looks of it) going to be here! I like the style of writing it’s not too depresing but you can see which parts are serious. Good Job update soon!

May 6th, 2007 at 2:06 am
LISTEN UP EVERYONE VISITS THE COMMENT SECTION!!! PLEASE READ THIS, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!! Thanx again for all the comments. But enough of that, I want to play a little guessing game with all of you who have read “Artemis/Minerva”. Post your answers here, in the comment section.
You know how I left you all hangin’ at the end of Chapter Six - Traitor? Well, now I want you all to guess who stepped out of the shadows. It might be really easy, since I dropped about two big clues along the way. So guess people guess!!!
Okay, so maybe this little game wasn’t really that important. But still
You never know what can get other people’s attention! 
May 13th, 2007 at 4:43 am
After reading to the end of chapter six a few questions pop to mind, first, why did Minerva team up with Opal, second, I thought that you were a non Minerva-basher, in fact, to me, you seemed to be a M/A shipper, third, How the heck did Opal escape jail?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
May 15th, 2007 at 12:51 am
ANSWER: Opal Koboi
May 16th, 2007 at 2:53 am
Opal Koboi of course but i dont get why would minerva do that isnt she in love with Artemis.
May 17th, 2007 at 4:16 am
HOW CAN U LEAVE US HANGING LIKE THIS???? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
i need 2 know!!!!!
May 17th, 2007 at 10:06 am
Huh? I thought you were an A/M shipper???!!! Or will she turn good? This plot is pretty erm…unlikely, and a teensy bit cliched, since if it’s Opal Koboi, well, she’s already returned once, no?
And the characters are a bit outta character as well. *shrugs*
Tell me if it’s gonna be A/M, coz I really hate fan fics where Minerva’s the antagonist and the baddie.
May 23rd, 2007 at 11:12 pm
Please tell me that this is an M/A story!
May 27th, 2007 at 4:43 am
HOW THE HECK CAN YOU LEAVE US ON A CLIFF HANGER LIKE THAT!! THAT’S JUST PLAIN TORTURE!! PLEASE UPDATE!!!!!! QUICK!!!!!!!!!!!
May 30th, 2007 at 1:03 pm
Would you mind tellng us wether this is going to turn out to be a minerva-basher story or not?
June 15th, 2007 at 5:59 am
YAY i like this story….update plzzzzzzz i and others r beggin u to update….U ROCK!
June 18th, 2007 at 3:20 pm
Just keep reading, people. Sorry I haven’t been able to update the last couple of months. I was doing something else for school. But now that school’s over, I can focus on this a little more. And read the seventh chapter if you wanna know how Koboi got into all this and why Minerva is acting all weird. And I apologize if this fanfic is starting to sound really stupid and pointless. By the way, I am still a M/A fan!
July 18th, 2007 at 4:54 pm
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM……..Well I do have to say that it was good but if you look at your comments often then you should read Betrayal the perfect A/M relastionship right??? Well we will just have to wait and find out. But personaly my opinion and this has nothing to do with you is that Minerva should die plain and smpile but good job very very good
July 21st, 2007 at 11:31 pm

July 22nd, 2007 at 6:51 pm

I must say, your writing is both very accurate and impressive. I await your next chapter with great anticipation.
June 25th, 2008 at 8:03 am
The story is quite “gripping,” and quickly held my attention. Have you ended, or do you plan on writing other chapters? If so, I look forward to them.
July 4th, 2008 at 9:16 pm
this is really something!
the only thing is that minerva is a little ooc, but then again, no one knows much about her.
keep going!
i wonder if minerva herself can write as well as this
