Like Father, Like Daughter

Story Details

March 18, 2033

Yeah, I probably should have gone with the spoon idea. It would have been much safer. Oh, but guess what…I found out where we actually were, what the date was, and who exactly had kidnapped me and my dad! Yay me!

So it looks like the person that kidnapped us actually cares a smidge about us because she sent house cleaning! A little, three foot tall person with pointy ears wheeled her cleaning cart into here. She was all making our hard-as-rock cots and dusting the corners and everything. I guess she was practically blind because I managed to hide in the cart while she was still cleaning. It was a bit of a squeeze but I was able to fit…surprisingly. My knees were up to my chin and it kind of stunk in there. Well, yeah, I haven’t taken a shower since the beginning of this month. The day I got kidnapped. Ew, I know.

So, just like in a stupid movie, the cleaning lady wheeled me right out of there. My dad didn’t even notice. He was just staring straight ahead with his normal expression: totally bored with everything. I silently promised him I’d come back with back up. Maybe his fairy friend with the cool helmet would help. That’d be cool of her. I should probably have realized I was practically committing suicide, leaving my ugly, cold, yet safe cell. I was too busy congratulating myself and patting myself on the back for my idiotic bravery to notice the cart stopped and half a dozen pairs of eyes were looking at me.

I only realized I was caught when someone grabbed my arm and pulled me upright. Or more like pushed me upright. This person was more than two feet shorter than me, but man, for someone that puny he was super strong! He managed to keep me standing up and in place while I trembled in fear in front of these tiny, evil people who kidnapped me.

I think the scariest of them all was the female. She was short, even compared to them. Maybe two and a half feet tall. She was extremely pretty. I totally envied her hair. It was dark like mine but it wasn’t stiff and ugly. She had these amazing green-ish eyes she looked just like the evil (but incredibly hot) villain it all those corny movies. I hated her at once.

She had that cool evil person laugh that all those movie villains had. She was a total cliché and she probably knew it. I wish I had a laugh like that. It’s totally creepy and cool. You know how all those evil people in comic books and movies and stuff laugh like, “Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha,” right? I had no idea where the hell that came from until I met her. I mean, how many people you know laugh like that? “Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha.” I thought it was LAME-O. But now I know. It comes from people like her who probably do it on purpose. “Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha.” Give me a break. It’s so evil. That’s why I want it.

Okay, anyway, back to the subject. Here’s what I know so far: our kidnapper’s name is Amber Koboi, the niece of this person called Opal Koboi (I think dad’s mentioned her once or twice). She’s sort of taken a disliking to us humans interfering with fairy business and so she’s dedicated her life to planning the tragic ‘accidents’ that will befall any human that has ever come in contact with a fairy, even if they don’t remember, like my Aunt Juliet. So far, she’s only put one poor woman in the hospital who didn’t remember even seeing a fairy. I suppose she wants to kill absolutely EVERYONE who’s seen a fairy, even if they didn’t even know it was a fairy, just to be safe.

My dad’s at the top of her list, and my mom and Uncle Domovoi are right behind him.

  3. MMK Says:

    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.

  4. artyfowl3 Says:

    ok, thanks! so i should write a little more? sure, no problem. Thank you for telling me!:)

  5. luv-artygirl Says:

  6. 1crazyhollyfan Says:

  15. 1crazyhollyfan Says:

  16. Jelly Says:

    OMG Artemis’s daughter is starting to freak me out! PLEASE! WHY is she so EVIL?

  17. captain_artys_girlxx Says:

    This rocks!! does she find out about the fairies though? plz let her, it would make her feel better!!
    ;) xoxox

  18. Jelly Says:

    no offense but this story doesn’t really have a point. :( More action would make it better!

  19. artyfowl3 Says:

  29. foalygenius Says:

    wow. i just read ch.8! i really like your ideas! write more soon!

  30. carino Says:

    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!!

  31. mahi101 AF Fan Says:

    i loved that u continued! keep it up!!!

  32. lbutler Says:

    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!!

  33. Jelly Says:

    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!!!!! :P YAAAAAAAAAA!

  34. mahi101 AF Fan Says:

    you were on t.v ??? coooll!! which cannel? where? tell meee!!!

  35. Jelly Says:

    idk what channel it is on your TV but it was 34 on mine. That is the school public channel and I got to sing a solo for the school board!

  36. foalygenius Says:

    you were on tv? cool. please continue soon!

  37. mahi101 AF Fan Says:

    yeah.. in austrialia! idt we have that.. ah welll……… plz continue this story soon@

  38. MMK Says:

    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)

  39. mahi101 AF Fan Says:

    nice , I totally like it! plz continue ,

  40. Jelly Says:

    kool update!

  41. artyfowl3 Says:

    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!

  42. foalygenius Says:

    Yes! More fairies! I really like it! continue!

  43. Maximus Says:

    I would like to see a continuation of the topic

  44. lil.arty Says:

    please continue! this is fabulose…(if thats how u spell the word)

  45. lbulter Says:

    r u going to upd8 this any more?

  46. MMK Says:

    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.

  47. artyfowl3 Says:

    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.

  48. lil.arty Says:

    i like the school life parts. most good stories dont rush into it quickly so yea. luv the update!

  49. foalygenius Says:

    Yeah, I’m not too impatient without the fairies. But please continue! I love the story!

  50. lil.arty Says:

    luv the update,….HAHAHAHA she got locked in a boot.

  51. mahi101 AF Fan Says:

    omg.. wow.. well keep updating , I was kind of like “What the—–” when she got drunk and evrythig.. but w/e , upd8 soon lol!

  52. lil.arty Says:

    ohhh a coma,..great idea

  53. Hunter Says:

    I like her getting drunk! Serve her right for thinking Opal is just a poor innocent fairy. ~shake fist~

  54. Olive Says:

    LOL I like it! :)

  55. foalygenius Says:

    Yay! Love it still! Get her out of there! Yay! Update soon!

  56. lbutler Says:

    yay update!!!!!

  57. lil.arty Says:

    lol like the update :P

  58. Olive Says:

    Dun dun dunnnnnnnn. Love it! Write more!

  59. lil.arty Says:

    lol if i was jo i would be like…o..m…g…..TURTLES!! just to make the moment random. luv the update plz continue.

  60. artyfowl3 Says:

    hm…that’s an idea…

  61. MMK Says:

    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!

  62. artyfowl3 Says:

    thanks! i’ll try to make them a bit more in character. as i keep saying, i LOVE constructive criticism.

  63. Lydia Tall Says:

    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.

  64. MylesandBeckett Says:

    That was AWSOME!!!!! UPDATE PLEASE!!!!!
