Tori POV

I stood up softly, my feet not making a sound as I walked towards the room Master Hisako and Dad were in.

It had been hours since they went up into Master Hisako's room to talk, none of them coming down for dinner or tea. And considering that Master Hisako was damn proud of his tea, it wasn't a good sign.

By now, it was midnight, and the dark skies of the Himalayas shadowed my movements as I snuck my way to Master Hisako's room. After all, I had a right to know what was going on.

It wasn't hard to get to Master Hisako's room unseen, after all, no one here stays up later than 11 PM at most. But making sure I wasn't caught listening after I did make it to Master Hisako's room was hard. Master Hisako may have been old, but his senses had been trained to be sharper than anyone else's in the world, and Dad was, well, Batman.

I pressed my ear to the wall, praying that whatever sixth sense that my dad and Master Hisako both had for spotting people was off for the moment. "- are you saying that my daughter is a part of some ancient legend?" Dad's voice said, breaking me off from my thoughts.

"Your daughter is the only Venatrix to ever make it here alive, so yes, it is very likely. Plus, Isamu told me from his scouting mission with her, that her senses were heightening to the point of Artemis's senses. You might want to deny your blood line with us, but Fuyu is very much apart of this temple." Master Hisako said, his voice coming out strong and confident through the door.

I blinked, my eyes widening to the size of plates when they opened. Dad knew about the descendants of Artemis? Did that also mean he knew about her ghost, and how this place was sacred? Is this why he didn't push as much as he could have in our last winter cabin trip to put on more cloths? "As far as I'm concerned, she can learn from who ever she wants, but that doesn't mean she is a Venatrix." Dad said, his voice turning angrier and angrier by the second.

Why didn't Dad like the thought of me being a Venatrix? I mean, it couldn't be the whole magic-doesn't-effect-me thing, could it? I closed my eyes, a feeling of dread sinking into me. That must have been what it was. I knew Dad was never good with meta's, and now... now this just proved it.

I stood up quickly, leaving down the hallway I came from so that I could walk to the wooded area close to the temple where I first learned to meditate here in the temple. "You know, you should be in bed." Someone said behind me, taking me out of my thoughts.

I turned around, noticing that Jason was standing there with just a shirt and jeans, as if this cold wasn't bothering him as well. "I know." I said, surprised with how my voice came out. It was hard and cold, like the weather, annoyance slipping into it a little.

"Are you alright, Kid?" Jason asked, raising an eyebrow, obviously surprised at my voice too.

"I don't know. I thought Master Hisako and Dad would get along great but..." I trailed off, shaking my head.

"It didn't work out that great then, huh? Did they say something to you? Or did you just eavesdrop?" Jason asked, his lips turning into a teasing smirk.

"Does it really matter?" I asked, a blush crawling across my face.

"Yes, but you make it obvious which one it is." Jason said, his smirk growing as he looked around.

I shrugged, walking towards a tree. "Did you know that the people in this temple meditate in trees?" I asked, climbing up said tree quickly.

"No, I always figured that wasn't a mandatory thing in a temple." Jason said, looking at me with a look that said get to the point.

"This is the first place I learned how to meditate here. It's amazing really. It's like becoming one with the forest for just a little bit. I could hear the sound of every animal, the wind and where it would blow, even if someone stepped into the tree line. I never really thought much about it before, but... do you think it's possible I might be a possible meta? I mean, Isamu explained it like what I do is normal for everyone, and that I just do it at a faster pace. But I'm not sure if Dad thinks the same." I asked, sitting on the tree branch I was standing on before.

"So, your scared that Dad will kick you out of the family because you progress faster than an average human? You do realize that if that was true, all of us would be screwed and B would be the biggest damn hypocrite ever, right?" Jason asked, looking at me like I was stupid.

My cheeks reddened in annoyance, and I shook my head. "No, that's not it. I mean I get to Superman level senses Jason. Here, I can hear animals crawling around the ground, and their on the other side of the mountain! That's not progressing faster than an average human, Jay. Besides, it only happens when I'm in cold weather, how do you explain that?" I asked, looking at him with eyes that demanded an answer.

"I'm not sure, kid. If what your Master said is true about the whole descendants of Artemis thing is true, then maybe it's heritage? Besides, if you only have it at cold places, it can't be powers, right? I mean, powers are a full time thing, not just a selective thing." Jason said, shrugging.

"That's not what Dad thought." I muttered, swinging my legs so that they dangled in the air.

"You the problem with eavesdropping, you don't hear the entire thing. I know you watch TV kid, you must know this." Jason said, making my eye twitch.

"I know that. But how do you explain Dad saying, 'As far as I'm concerned, she can learn from who ever she wants, but that doesn't mean she is a Venatrix'. He's trying to deny what I am Jason, meaning he doesn't like the thought of his daughter having abilities like mine." I said, turning away from him.

"...Do you bats always have fights in the middle of the freezing cold?" I heard a shivering voice ask, shocking me even more than Jason coming out here.

I turned around, staring at Roy with blankets around him tightly as he shivered. "How much of that did you hear?" I asked, looking at him concerned. Seriously, it wasn't natural for people's lips to be blue, so I had a right to be concerned.

"Just he meta part, though I think that might have been enough for me to know. How are you guys not cold?" Roy asked, shivering even harder.

"Trust me, I'm cold. I'm just not showing how cold I really am in front of the damn ice princess over here." Jason said, gesturing to me.

"Whatever you say Jay. Why are you out here, Roy? You hate the cold." I said, climbing down the tree to walk up to him.

"You weren't there, and then Mikey woke up and started crying with Lian and no one else would wake up. So I had to calm them down, but they won't go to sleep without you singing that song again." Roy said, not mentioning Jason and me fighting, which I was grateful for since he looked like he really wanted to know.

"Aw, how cute, Baby Bird sings." Jason said, a smirk tugging onto his lips.

"Asshole." I muttered, kicking snow at him before leading Roy by the hand to the room everyone was sleeping at.

I heard Roy muttered curses under his breath about me being warm, and how it wasn't even fair for me to be this damn warm when he was freezing his ass off. Jason's curses were in the background, louder and worse than Roy's by far. But that was good, because it at least kept me off the topic of my dad rejecting me.

So, I hope you guys liked this chapter! I'm getting a little bit more time for writing now, but I think it's a good idea to give you guys a heads up, I might not be able to update a lot by the end of the month. Because for some reason, my teachers like the idea of giving me 2 projects, and an essay all on the same day, and then making them due all on the same week. So, I'll still be able to update right now, this is just a heads up for the future.

And remember to review!
