Like Father, Like Daughter

Story Details

A/N: I’m SO sorry for the late update!! I was out of town for four weeks and then school started again and I was busy. But here it is!

August 25th, 2033

You know, I find it really sweet how Joseph was all worrying about me while I was gone. It’s also pretty sweet he took it upon himself to write down what happened while I was gone. And now, I’m taking it upon myself to write down everything that happened to me.

So Koboi’s henchmen, or henchfairies, came to the “apartment” and said that she wanted to speak with me. I decided to go along, much to Joseph’s dismay. God, he can be such a worry-wart at times.

I imagined Koboi would strap me to a chair and put me under a bright light and she would stand in the darkness and ask me questions. If not that I’d be handcuffed to a chair at a table and she and other fairies would examine me from behind one-way glass.

Actually, she sat me down in a really nice armchair and she sat across from me. She did ask questions, but in a friendly way. She also gave me the same story dad gave me about this whole thing, but from her point of view.

She said to me: “You’ve been having problems with your parents, have you not?”

I paused. “Well…”

She reminded me of the times my mom had nagged me about my homework and dad had yelled at me for having a different oppinion than him until finally I had to nod reluctantly.

She said: “Well, I can make that all go away. Your father no doubt has told you of my plan to kill all humans that have had contact with fairies. And no doubt he has made his opinion of me clear. Well, I can tell you this: my version of the story is much different. All I plan to do is capture all the humans that have come in contact with fairies, hold them prisoner for a while. Then kill them. And now you and your friend who is still in your apartment know of us, correct?”

Well, duh! “Yes.”

“This means I’d have to kill you two, correct?”

I was starting to get scared. “Yes.”

“I’m not going to. But only if you tell me who else your father has mentioned. Any friends of his that have seen a fairy?”

I thought about it. Yes, I am sorry to say that I actually thought about it. What is happening to me? True, mom and dad aren’t always there for me. They have their own work to do. I thought about it for a long time. But I finally said:

“No.”

“You haven’t heard him mention any friends who had seen a fairy?”

“I don’t mean that,” I said. “I mean no, I won’t tell you anything.”

Well, it would be an understatement to say she got mad. She told two bulky grayish green guys to take me away. They dragged me out of there by my armpits.

Koboi spent the next few days trying to pry information out of me. It wasn’t all that painful. She didn’t, like, break my fingers or stick my full of pins. That would be nasty. She just left me there for days in a dark hole that smelled like rats. It was back to the food Joseph and I had been eating back in that cold dark cell. I didn’t eat it though. It looked and smelled no better than the other food had.

I probably lost ten pounds in those few days.

But I’m back now. Thank goodness.

  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:

    That was hilarious!!!! Can’t *giggle* stop *snort* LAUGHING! Very awesome.

  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!!!!!
