She had always been the miracle of her family, there was no other way to explain why
Artemis Cullen was born. The day Isabella Cullen found out she was pregnant she went into
shock and fainted. Vampires weren't supposed to reproduce but somehow she and Edward
reproduced and the result was Artemis Cullen born July 14 2006, 6 months after she was
conceived. The doctors stared at the baby's unearthly beauty, with her Mahogany hair and the
bluest eyes any one has ever seen. With alabaster skin that made her look like a small doll
instead of a human child. She was a perfect combination of her parents with her mothers
body structure and her fathers face. A few days later returned to their house one person
bigger.
The next couple of years were an experience , no body really knowing how the little girl
would grow up. She went from infant hood to toddler hood, growing bigger and bigger each
year that passed. She had acquired the senses of a vampire but the speed, and strength didn't
come until she was thirteen. It had happened during her birthday, after being asked what she
wanted to do it was decided they would play baseball. Everybody looked worried at the
thought of playing with the girl for fear of hurting her, but after an hour of pleading they
finally gave in. The family had split boys verses girl, and the boys were up to plate first.
Thinking it would be the safest they put Artemis in the outfield knowing that they could
control were the balls were and would never hit her. Edward was the first up to the plate and
he had a smirk on his face.
" Come on daddy just try to get it past me" Artemis said with the same crocked smile her
father always had
" O I will love just you wait" Edward said mirroring her smile
Alice was pitching this game and pulling her arm back she threw the ball with all her might,
had one of those speed things been there it probably would have read 400. Edward slammed
the ball but couldn't hide his horror as it headed toward Artemis , dropping his bat he raced
toward his daughter. By the time he got there he couldn't help but gawk at the laughing
teenager who had the ball sitting safely in her glove. It took merely a few seconds for every
one else to get there and their mouths also fell open.
" See I told you wouldn't get it past me" She said still laughing
" But… how" Bella whispered
"Puberty" Carlisle said
" Of course this is the year normal humans would start maturing" Esme said
" So she can hunt with us" Emmet said
" An run with us" Rosalie said
" An play games with us" Alice said
" Hey you guys I'm rite here" Artemis said with a pout
" Sorry we just got excited" Edward said
And this is how things went for the next 7 years of Artemis's life, but it seems like every
body else 18 was the age to stop growing. She also developed the ability to read minds, and
also acquired a gift opposite of her aunt she saw peoples past and not their futures.( Like
Fran from Circus de freak). Many times because of these gifts she became an outcast and
never had friends. Now living in London, she would be starting her second session of high
school as a Junior. Although she had twenty years to get used to the blood lust, the whole
family had gone hunting the night before to make sure no accidents happened. Walking down
stairs she heard everybody in the kitchen, and knowing they were waiting for her she headed
into it.
" Well look who decided to grace us with her presence" Alice said with a smile
" Yeah well I couldn't figure out what to wear, I mean Rosie usually helps me pick" Artemis
said with a sigh missing her aunt who was in Alaska and wouldn't be back till tomorrow.
" I know we miss her to" Bella said giving her daughter a hug
" Come on its time to go or else you'll be late" Edward said
" Yeah like that could happen" Artemis said rolling her eyes
" Take the corvette" Bella said
" Ok mom" Artemis said catching the keys after Bella threw them.
While in the car Artemis couldn't help but sigh, once again she was stuck going to school.
She was just learning what she had already knew, and if it wasn't for this stupid cover thing
she would be able to do what she wanted. It didn't help that she was starting off as a junior
so she had two years of bullshit to deal with instead of one. She hated that she was so small
at 5'2 the only person she was taller then was Alice. She was able to get to the school in two
minuets flat and after parking her car she headed for the office. When she go there many
people stopped and stared at her and all at once their thoughts came rushing into her head.
Wow who's the new girl
She's gorgeous
She must be a model
She'll be mine in two days
Is she real, she looks like a porcelain doll
Blocking them out Artemis couldn't help but to send a scowl to her father who had given her
his gift. She had always hated attention and tried to avoid it as much as possible. Finally at
the office, she got her schedule and headed toward her first period class which was American
history. The day wasn't too bad soon it was time for lunch and then her last period which
was English.
