day Disclaimer- Don't own Twilight

Claimer- I do own the plot and Artemis

A/N: I am going to go with the first version… like I said, I only made a alternative because some people might not have liked the fact that Bella and Artemis were sisters… just to let you know, Bella was 10 when Artemis was born… so that means Bella has been a vampire for over 4 years… I'll explain how they were sisters later on.

Previously:

"I could have told you she was just fine." I smiled at him.

"How? You don't even know her." He kept looking at her. Not longingly or anything, more like he was glad that she was fine.

"Bella!" I called. She came out of the shadows.

"How did you know it was me?" She asked.

"I would recognize my older sister anywhere. I haven't seen you since my sixth birthday." I smiled at her.

"And now you're seventeen. I have missed so much. How's mom?" She asked.

"Ummmmm..." Was my great reply.

APOV

"Artie?" Bella asked.

"She… umm…" Tears trailed down my face again.

"No…" Bella breathed. I just nodded.

She dropped her hand form the big wolf thingy and ran to me.

"I am so sorry.." She dry sobbed.

"Me too." I nodded.

"How did you take it?" She asked. I looked down.

"I'd rather not talk about it. Ask Edward or someone another time while I'm not here… that reminds me." I turned to Edward. "Who are they?" I asked pointing to the ten –I counted- vampires on the other side of the clearing.

I thought it was wired how the Cullen's weren't leavening my side. It was like a string or something attached them to me. Edward was actually glued to me or something.

"They are the Volturi and part of their guard." Edward said. Well, that explained it.

Oh… hi?" It sounded like a question.

"Hello Artie." The one in the front said. "I am Aro."

"Hi… um, could you not call me that… I don't want it to sound like we are friends when you're trying to kill me." I said. I couldn't help but notice how Bella's eyes widened and how she turned to growl at the Volturi.

"It cannot be helped. We would like to stay the head of the vampire race and you are the only obstacle standing in the way." Aro explained. "We must kill you before you're a vampire. If we do not, it will be impossible to kill you."

"See…" I glared at Edward. "All you had to do is let the venom take over and I would have been indestructible." I shook my head.

"You will not be a vampire. I will not let you die." He glared back.

"You wont be able to save her with pretty words." Bella said with a very soft expression.

Edwards's eyes widened then looked at me and softened. He put his hand to my cheek and smiled.

"I will not make the same mistake twice." He mumbled so low I almost didn't hear it.

"We all know you can't see the future. Even Alice knows better then us, and she cant see the whole thing. What if something is going the right way, then you let your guard down and the future changes. It is not set in stone. No matter how hard you try." Bella's said… well almost yelled. "I will protect my little sister."

"She is my girlfriend, lover, mate, whatever you want to call it, but she is mine too." Edward argued.

I backed up until I was in between Alice and Jasper as I watched them fight. It was almost like they totally forgot about the Volturi… well I did too.

"Did they always fight like that?" I asked.

"Nope… they used to be deeply in love." Alice answered and was met with a glare form Jasper. I guess he felt how much it hurt to know that they were deeply in love. "I'm sorry."

"Don't be. You can't change the past, but you can change the future." I walked towards the Volturi.

"Artie!" I heard Edward shout.

"Don't!" Bella shouted too.

I didn't even pay attention to the large growl that came out of the big wolf and the one he earned from Edward from doing so. I just kept walking.

"Don't." I heard Alice tell Edward when he tried to run to me. "She can do it."

I walked on and on. The Volturi had wicked smiled on their faces.

"So you have seen that you had no chance?" A small girl sneered.

"Shush Jane… do not be rude." Aro said.

"No… I think you have decided to stop pursuing me and go back to were you belong… you and your little groupies." I sneered back.

"Grab her!" Alice yelled.

I didn't have a chance to realize what was happening. I was being lifted onto a shoulder and was running through the forest. I looked over to see that I was on Emmett's. Bella was on the left and Edward on the right. The big wolf thing was behind me. I wonder what he looked like in his human form.

"You sisters have no since of danger." Edward growled.

"Why thank you." I smiled.

"It wasn't a compliment. You are so stupid!" He growled at me.

He looked scary for a second. For a second, I actually thought he was going to rip my head off. I couldn't even give him a nice comeback like a usually do when someone is mad at me. I felt a tear roll down my cheek. I guess he saw it too because his face softened and he reached for me. I flinched when his hand got close to me. I never knew that anyone, that Edward, my sweet, sensitive, caring, all things good in my world, Edward, would scare me that bad.

He retracted his hand and looked away from me. Emmett, obviously feeling me shiver in fright, maneuvered me to where he was carrying me bridle style. I hid my face in his chest. Edward, my Edward, had scared me.

"Where are we going?" I asked Emmett.

"We are going to go to another place where you can change and mix your sent, then we'll split up and spilt the Volturi up." He explained.

I nodded not wanting to think about us splitting up. I was glad and I kind of hoped that I wasn't in Edward's group.

We got to a department store and Emmett put me down. I didn't even look at Edward. I was still kind of scared about how he snapped at me and how he looked.

"How are we going to get in?" Bella asked. "We can't let the alarm go off."

Jasper walked up to the doors and knelt down. He pulled out what looked like a credit card and slid it in-between the doors and they swung open. I looked at him and raised my eyebrows. He just shrugged and walked in.

I grabbed a pair of faded baggy hip huggers, a black and white striped polo, and ran to the bathrooms. The others were trying to figure out how we were going to do this.

The bathrooms had two doors on each side of the room. I dropped my new clothes and pulled off my old ones.

I should have been smart and asked Bella or Alice or someone to came in here with me. I should have been smart and not turn my back on one of the doors. But I wasn't being smart, and I didn't do either of those things. Now here I am in my lacey underwear –like always- dangling in the air with a small tiny hand holding me up there by my throat.

"Jane." I managed to wheeze out.

"I was faster then the rest so I decided to finish this and go home." She smiled. She was whispering so low that I could barley hear her, let alone a vampire who was about 100 feet away and walls in between us.

"Stop." I wheezed. I tried to do that thing where she did what I said, but it didn't work.

"Actually, I think I want to play with my food." She smiled.

I didn't know what she meant at first. I thought she meant that she was going to let me run, or call for help. Boy was I wrong.

She put her lips to my neck and started trailing kisses down my chest. The kisses stopped just at the hem of my bra. Her finger traced my birthmark then it traced down to the hem of my underwear and started to tug down.

"Stop." I said with a tear rolling down my cheek.

"What? I'm not good enough for you?" She laughed into my chest. I realized that she wasn't lesbo or anything, she was playing with me. She knew that I only wanted Edward to touch me like this. She knew that he was what I wanted, and she took advantage of that.

"Stop." I said. I didn't wheeze or anything. It came out clear.

She looked at me and her eyes widened. I looked up at the mirror and I couldn't help the shocked look on my face.

My eyes were glowing red and from the mark, strange red ribbony swirls formed around my body. My hair flowed like fire around my face. .

I was then blasted into a wall and I felt, yeah felt, the ribbon sink back into the moon and my eyes shift back to green.

"What the hell are you!" Jane snarled a little too loud.

If my impact against the wall didn't alert the eight vampires and the one werewolf, then I don't know what would.

I was slowly losing consciousness and my head was starting to feel heavy. The last thing I saw was Edward running toward me and the rest running after Jane. Then I was out.

A/N: Most liked this path better, so I decided to do it this way… sorry to those who don't like it.
