Chapter Three - Twins
About a year later . . .
Minerva sighed. Once again, there were lowly males in her class flirting with her. She hated them. They were so . . . juvenile. Well, actually, Minerva was the one who acted like an adult. To add to that, her homework was seriously bothering her. They came up with the simplest equations, like:
ξ2(ξ2 + 1)f �� + 2ξ(ξ2 + γ)f � + γ(γ − 1)f = 0
What could possibly be any easier, besides 1+1? Minerva was about to give up and just march up to her teacher and demand for harder problems. And what was absolutely unbelievable was the fact that several of her fellow classmates were struggling and some were even failing the class! Preposterous!
Minerva swore to try not to smart-mouth the boys in her class. Or the girls. But it would be hard, because the girls were equally stupid. They giggled all the time and fussed over their makeup, hair, and clothes. Who cares whether you bought a new shirt or got your ears pierced or whatever the heck you’re doing to doll yourself up? Minerva certainly didn’t!
Luckily, that morning, good news arrived. Mrs. Fowl had given birth to the twins! Twin boys! Their names were Jonathon and Finian. Exotic. Minerva snorted. The whole family’s names were basically exotic. Not that she should be talking. Minerva wasn’t normal, that’s for sure.
Gaspard Paradizo absolutely forbid his daughter to miss a few more days of school, so Minerva couldn’t go to visit the new twins. But Mr. and Mrs. Fowl kept them constantly updated by sending pictures of the cute little boys via email.
Minerva really wished that Artemis would come back.
Â
About two more years passed without any more interesting events. But then . . .
Minerva dropped the phone with a clatter. Luckily Butler had already hung up, or he would have been near deafened by the sound.
Minerva never screamed, but now she shrieked, “Papa!”
Mr. Paradizo came running. “Is something wrong?”
Minerva turned to him, her face bright and happy, tears running down her cheeks. Minerva made no attempt to control them.
“He’s back! He’s back!”

Guys, I wrote this. I really hope you like it. I’m not even done with the first chapter yet, but I’ll keep writing.

This story is AMAZINGLY written. For an AF fanfiction this is a work of art. And it is also nice to see a non-Minerva basher occasionally. XD Keep writing, I can’t wait for the rest of this chapter/next chapter. I really just want to rave and make a pointless review, but I always try to put constructive criticism in as well. I can’t think of any, except maybe try to put whole chapters up at once.
I can’t really tell what category to put this in so I’ll stick it in General for now.

Nice plotline and stuff! I was planning on writing one about Minerva’s emotions as well as Arty was off in Hybras! Seems you beat me to it…oh well, I’ll still write one, but it’s gonna be more on the angsty side…
Nice of you to stick in French words too, I always try and do that with Minerva…

there is a sequal…….
November 15th, 2008 at 3:52 pm
Okay, I found two overall things that bothered me:
1) Minnie’s dad, in TLC, basically was trying to make her stop the whole demon thing period.
2) SHE ALREADY FINISHED SCHOOL!!!! It stated that she was done with grade school! Although, it DID mention her taking some class under an assumed name, so you win thins time….
I wonder, you know how demons could be predicted to turn up a certain time and place? I wonder, if Minerva had tried to pinpoint anything from Hybras, I wonder if the island’s return would have shown up?

By-the-by, I’m sure Editors are aware of this, but “Stephen King” is actually me.

Well, I am, at least.
