Like Father, Like Daughter

The past few days have been pretty normal. I spent all my time sleeping in class, getting grounded, getting F’s in school, etc. It seems like the nerd kid is the only one who treats me with respect and like an equal even though both he and I know that I am so below him. Even if he is a nerd.
I’ve been avoiding going to that after school thing, but my bodyguards are making it very hard for me. They watch me like a pair of hawks. I walk down the hall in Fowl Manor and I see them watching me behind those mirrored sunglasses. I get to school and they don’t leave until I’m inside the building. After school when they drop me off at the after school thing, they don’t leave until I’m inside that building too. Then I have to wait until they’re around the corner to leave and go to the café across the street for a cup of coffee.
Then I get to the after school thing building at about 4:55 and wait for my bodyguards to show up, and of course, they show up right on time. Five o’clock exactly, not a second too late. Then they have to walk me into the house and won’t let me go until I am within sight of my parents. I wonder: did dad have to suffer like this when he was my age? Or did his parents have enough mercy to let him go around by himself?
My bodyguards are way too protective. Can’t you tell?
I think my parents hired them because I found out about dad’s fairy friends. Fairies! Can you believe it? I mean, my family has never really believed all those stories. At least that’s what I thought. Now that I believe in fairies, who knows! Maybe I’ll start believing in Santa! Or the toothfairy! Probably not though. I believe seeing is believing.
But now…I’m like a character in a story or something. I’m the only child of a couple who have known a species of fairies for decades and then I find out and life gets very complicated for me. Doesn’t that just sound like a plot in a book? Well, not that I read books or anything. Not my cup of tea.

Oh, I really like this, I think you’ve got a really great idea for a character, I think. Constructive criticism: This would be a great first chapter to a story, but I don’t think it’s that great as a story in itself. I’m not sure how to describe it, but it doesn’t seem… self-contained.
September 23rd, 2007 at 5:14 pm
ok, thanks! so i should write a little more? sure, no problem. Thank you for telling me!:)
September 23rd, 2007 at 6:31 pm

September 23rd, 2007 at 9:27 pm

I just read chapter three. It’s still very good.
I can’t wait for her to figure out her father’s right (that will happen, right? Nevermind, don’t tell me).
October 26th, 2007 at 3:07 am
That was hilarious!!!! Can’t *giggle* stop *snort* LAUGHING! Very awesome.
October 26th, 2007 at 5:16 am
OMG Artemis’s daughter is starting to freak me out! PLEASE! WHY is she so EVIL?
October 27th, 2007 at 12:57 pm
This rocks!! does she find out about the fairies though? plz let her, it would make her feel better!!
;) xoxox
October 28th, 2007 at 6:09 pm
no offense but this story doesn’t really have a point.
More action would make it better!
October 30th, 2007 at 5:59 am
don’t worry! i’m just building up to it!
November 1st, 2007 at 2:30 am

I really needed a quarter are you shure she’s coming???????lol this is good!!!!!
November 23rd, 2007 at 7:45 pm
wow. i just read ch.8! i really like your ideas! write more soon!
November 25th, 2007 at 1:55 am
Wow, it’s pretty original! I’m not quite sure if I like who Artemis III is, but we’ll see. Generally, when people are like her, they don’t care that much about social status anymore. I think that whole rant gets kind of old. It is quite addictive, though. keep it up!!
November 25th, 2007 at 2:11 am
i loved that u continued! keep it up!!!
November 25th, 2007 at 2:26 am
you you lied !!! she didn’t come and I still need a quarter!!! great story glad to see it contuned but that God comment was offenceve everyone belives in something!!! please keep going only don’t lie!!! stupid toothfairy!!
November 25th, 2007 at 3:22 am
yes most definatly! I agree with Carino Artemis 3 is um a little bit no, A LOT rude and well kind of now this is just my point of view a little bit on the gangster side. she scares me! *goes to hide under kitchen table* If u could soften her up a wee bit that would be wounderful!
p.s. I can’t hold it in any longer! I WAS ON TV!!!!!
YAAAAAAAAAA!
November 25th, 2007 at 3:35 am
you were on t.v ??? coooll!! which cannel? where? tell meee!!!
November 25th, 2007 at 4:41 am

November 25th, 2007 at 7:54 am
you were on tv? cool. please continue soon!
November 25th, 2007 at 4:14 pm
yeah.. in austrialia! idt we have that.. ah welll……… plz continue this story soon@
December 6th, 2007 at 6:49 am
I just read chapters 7 - 14. Very good still.
Though I’m starting to wish for more fairy-related plot. Not just the romance, though that’s nice too (just be careful not to overdo it)
December 6th, 2007 at 11:55 pm
nice , I totally like it! plz continue ,
December 7th, 2007 at 12:10 am
kool update!
December 8th, 2007 at 5:24 pm
MMK, you don’t have to be worried about me overdoing the romance. i’m not a romantic type of person. there’ll only be a little and there WILL be more fairy related stuff soon. thanks for reviewing!
December 8th, 2007 at 6:26 pm
Yes! More fairies! I really like it! continue!
December 20th, 2007 at 2:27 pm
I would like to see a continuation of the topic
December 31st, 2007 at 8:52 am
please continue! this is fabulose…(if thats how u spell the word)
January 27th, 2008 at 9:08 pm
r u going to upd8 this any more?
February 6th, 2008 at 4:36 am
Nice update, but I must say, I’m getting impatient to actually see fairies… assuming we get to. Artemis III’s school life is nice and everything, but it doesn’t interest me as much.
February 6th, 2008 at 5:15 am
u’ll see it! it’s coming up in the…next chapter or so? she learns a lot more about fairies. it doesn’t seem to have a point yet. i think i kind of got carried away with her normal life. oops.
February 6th, 2008 at 6:31 am
i like the school life parts. most good stories dont rush into it quickly so yea. luv the update!
February 10th, 2008 at 10:46 pm
Yeah, I’m not too impatient without the fairies. But please continue! I love the story!
February 15th, 2008 at 7:52 am
luv the update,….HAHAHAHA she got locked in a boot.
February 21st, 2008 at 5:21 am
omg.. wow.. well keep updating , I was kind of like “What the—–” when she got drunk and evrythig.. but w/e , upd8 soon lol!
February 21st, 2008 at 8:51 am
ohhh a coma,..great idea
March 6th, 2008 at 4:07 am
I like her getting drunk! Serve her right for thinking Opal is just a poor innocent fairy. ~shake fist~
March 9th, 2008 at 10:29 pm
LOL I like it!
March 9th, 2008 at 10:51 pm
Yay! Love it still! Get her out of there! Yay! Update soon!
March 11th, 2008 at 12:50 am

March 19th, 2008 at 5:50 am

March 19th, 2008 at 9:26 pm
Dun dun dunnnnnnnn. Love it! Write more!
March 31st, 2008 at 8:12 am
lol if i was jo i would be like…o..m…g…..TURTLES!! just to make the moment random. luv the update plz continue.
March 31st, 2008 at 6:47 pm
hm…that’s an idea…
March 31st, 2008 at 10:57 pm
Good to see you’re updating again! I’m glad the plot moved (not to rush you, of course- it’s your story, do what YOU like). It’s very interesting, I like your plot.
Though I’m guessing Artemis was mesmerized in the cell? If not then he was very OOC, completely giving up right away like that. Holly was OOC, too. Your original characters are great, but you have to be careful to keep the old ones in character. That’s my major piece of constuctive criticism.
Great job, though!
April 1st, 2008 at 12:19 am
thanks! i’ll try to make them a bit more in character. as i keep saying, i LOVE constructive criticism.
April 1st, 2008 at 2:32 am
I like it! Yeah! cool character, but some constuctive critisism would be: you need to start a new paragraph everytime someone else starts speaking, like:
“Hi Joe,” Bob said.
“Hi Bob, we’re all going to get killed by aliens!” replied Joe.
You get the picture, but other then that it’s good.
May 16th, 2008 at 10:22 pm
That was AWSOME!!!!! UPDATE PLEASE!!!!!
