I had to get out of that house. My family was acting crazy today. But then again, they are always acting crazy.
Alice is trying to get Jasper to go shopping. Emmett and Rosalie are in their room. Again. Carlisle is at the hospital and Esme is in her garden. And don't make me go into what they are thinking. Shudders.
I was running through the forest, stopping only to hunt what animals were in my way. Until I got to the meadow I found hunting a couple years ago. No one knows about it, it was my place, my secret.
I stepped into the clearing, and stopped in my tracks.
There in the middle of the meadow was a girl, no not a girl, a young woman. She was lying on her stomach. Her hair was long and flowing all around her, if she stood up, it would probably be at her waist or maybe mid-thigh. Her dress looked like it was made from silk and it spread out around her legs, the baby blue color of the dress looked wonderful with her skin. I couldn't tell her eye color, because her eyes were closed. She looked like a goddess.
I moved closer, carefully. I didn't want to scare her. Until I was just beside her, that was the moment she chose to open her eyes.

I was aware of him watching me, and I knew who he was. "Hello, Edward." I said before closing my eyes again.
"What? How do you know my name?" He sounded scared. I opened my eyes again and looked up into his eyes. They were a gorgeous butterscotch color, he must have just hunted.
"Don't worry. Have a seat and I'll explain." He nodded and sat down beside me. "My name is Isabella. I am the daughter of the Goddess Artemis, who is back in Greece. I can control the elements, I have a 100 accurate shot when hunting and I can live for a long time." He took his time processing this information before he responded.
"I don't understand. How does that explain that you know my name? I thought Goddesses weren't real? Isn't Artemis opposed to males? What are you?" He fired questions at me with such speed that I just had to laugh. "What? What's so funny?"
"Nothing. Now to answer your questions.Yes, Gods and Goddesses are real. Just like you are real, and your family." His eyes went wide. I was still on my stomach so I had to look up. His was gorgeous, even for what he is, he's perfect. "I know Edward, but don't be afraid. Your secrets safe with me." I don't think he believed that.
"How do I know? How do you know?" I sighed and raised my head off my arms, just a little bit.
"Let me finish your others questions first and you'll get your answers. Okay?" I was a little angry now, and I knew he could tell since he nodded. I was about to finish answering his questions, when he interrupted again.
"Weren't your eyes brown before?" I swear if he didn't let me answer his questions, I'll scream.
"Yes, now stop talking." He nodded and I continued. "I'll answer that last question in a minute. My mother is Artemis, yes she is opposed to males. She was a virgin when she conceived me. There's a prophecy in my world about a virgin female giving birth to one of the most powerful beings in our world. Like her mother she will be a protectress and when the time comes, she'll have to choose between mortality and immortality. That day will come after the great battle, where sacrifices will be made and loved ones lost. I am the one in the prophecy.
"I was born in Greece on Mount Olympus. I am a protectress just like my mother who protects human females. I protect vampires." His eyes widened and I smiled. "That's how I know what you are. I know your name because I have to. I also know your story of what happened after you were turned and before.
"You were turned by Carlisle Cullen, when you were dying of the Spanish Influenza, by the request of your mother. You stayed with him and sometime after he turned Esme you went on a state of rebellion. For four years you tried living the lives of normal vampires. You started to hate it, and you returned to them." I rested my head on my arms again and closed my eyes. I breathed in the scent of the earth and smiled.
"I also know that you can read minds and I know what will happen to you in the future. But unlike Alice, I know what will happen without the fact that they make a decision. I also have the power to choose when and how a vampire dies." He took an intake of breath but I kept speaking answering his last question before I left.
"As for my eyes. Being a...well whatever I am, my emotions show through my eyes. Red for anger, blue for sadness, gold for joy and happiness, green for envy, purple for love, hazel for more than one emotion and brown when I feel natural. My eyes are mostly brown. Now I must go." I got up and fixed my hair and dress and turned to leave when I felt something grab my wrist. I turned and saw Edward.
"Will I see you again?" I smiled and nodded. He grinned, showing his perfect, flawless teeth. He let go of my wrist and I headed for the woods.
