Chapter one: the twins
                 FOWLMANOR: SATURDAY AFTERNOON, 3PM: 
Artemis had nothing to do! He was not used to being bored. As a juvenile criminal mastermind who had at the tender age of twelve discovered the existence of the faerie people and tricked them into giving him a large amount of their gold, helped end the Bwa-kell goblin rebellion and by fourteen invented an amazing computer using stolen faerie technology (just to mention a few things) there was always some bank account to hack or some secret mission to go on, but there was nothing! NOTHING! While he sat there thinking of something to do, he heard two pairs of little foot steps running up the stairs, Oh no! Artemis thought to himself, then shortly after, just as he’d predicted, there was an impatient rattling at the door. “ARTY!” someone called “come play with us! Mummy said!” Artemis sighed, the twins, they would never leave him alone! “No Myles! No Beckett! I will not come and play with you!” replied Artemis. “But mummy said! And we’ll tell her if you don’t!” Artemis groaned, he thought about it, at least he’d have something to do. “Well, if I must.” He stood up and walked to the door when he opened he was immediately jumped on from behind, he should’ve known, it was one of their favourite games “Myles, Beckett, we’ve talked about this!” they jumped off, “you weren’t scared!” complained Myles “you didn’t even twitch!” added Beckett. Artemis gave them both a look that said “do you really think I didn’t expect it?” then he went on talking, “so what activity did you have in mind?” they both had Evil Artemis like grins on their faces, “can you guess?” Oh no. he hated running and they both knew it “please not football?” “Yup!” they replied. Artemis was feeling tired even thinking about it but tirelessly they lead the way and ran down the stairs, nearly knocking over a priceless ancient Egyptian vase standing in the hall Artemis sighed as he stumbled after them.
When they got outside to fowl manor’s new soccer grounds (a present from Mr. Fowl to the twins) Artemis was already tired but when they started to play, Artemis (very surprisingly) kicked it out of the field, it must have been the magic he stole in the time tunnel that had kicked in. the twins went to fetch it and He was so relieved when his faerie communicator beeped. “Holly?” he asked “Yes, Artemis?” came the reply “No, not Artemis he’s on holiday in Australia, it’s the tooth fairy! Of course it’s Artemis who else?!” Came his sarcastic answer, but Holly just said “No time for sarcasm, Artemis! This is serious!” “The LEP needs my help do they? I’d be Happy to!” came his smug reply “No Artemis, it is you who needs help! Where are you now?” “Outside playing with the twins” He said, Holly gasped “Artemis, Get the twins back inside” “but I…” protested Artemis “Artemis now!, I’ll be there in about twenty-five minutes. ” Something in her voice told Artemis that she was serious, there was only one problem, and he couldn’t see the twins…
