The following day Artemis still had nothing to do so she decided on a bit of housework and some shopping in Seattle. With an empty house Artemis used her enhanced speed to finish the housework sooner. With a smile on her face she grabbed what she needed and headed to her car yet she couldn't shake the feeling she was being watched . Just under 2 hours later Artemis arrived in Seattle and instantly started to shop , she made a mental note to pick a few things up on her way home so she could cook tonight instead of bella . Before Artemis had realised hours had gone by in fact bella would have already be home from high school for around an hour. running into one last shop swiping what she needed for her meal , she had paid and was out the door as if her life depended on it. When Artemis arrived home there was nothing but crowds of people in the street outside her house, flashing lights from the police cruisers. Immediately thinking the worst , Artemis ran through the crowds looking for her father . "Arty there you are have you spoken to bella at all today shes missing" Charlie asked her frantically. " I'm afraid I havent pops you could have called me I can help, what do you want me to do, shall I call the cullens?" Artemis asked . "The cullens have left town and if you ask me good riddance, We will find her you two " Billy spoke as he looked from Charlie to Artemis his facial expression changing. "Charlie why dont you check in with your boys have them widen the search, Artemis come walk with me " Billy suggested with a nod of his head. The pair moved in silence until they reached her car. "what's the point of this walk billy I need to help find bella ?"Artemis pushed . " You cant be here right now Artemis" Billy spoke blankly looking straight ahead. Artemis was confused he never called her Artemis it was always Arty or wild one never by her full name.
She was getting angry in her eyes she had every right to be there bella is her sister if not for bella then you bet your ass she was there for Charlie. She was furious. "why the hell not? What have I done"Artemis spat though gritted teeth. "look t yourself in the window Artemis , you promised you had this side of you under control but to hurt a human is out of order" Billy scolded her." what I havent hurt anybody , billy you know thats not me" Artemis argued her point she'd been shopping where's the crime? " look at yourself Artemis your eyes are red as they would be if you were to have consumed human blood, I used to think of you like a daughter but now I truly see the monster you are , from this moment on Artemis Swan you are hereby banned from La Push and I forbid any contact with anyone on the land . Do I make myself clear ?" Billy declared. Artemis couldn't believe what she was hearing. "I hear you , mr black but hear me when I say this if those are your terms and you wont give me the benefit of the doubt then fine ill show you the true monster I am, I do hope you understand that I could slaughter this whole town at the snap of my fingers and thats without ripping peoples throats open. For your information my eyes turn red when i'm angry or when my gifts are surfacing but no ive heard you loud and clear so I wont try to control them from now on oh and should your forests ignite with flames just know its your doing you've unleashed the monster as you call it from within , oh and one more thing this isnt Quileute land technically as of now your out of bounds good day Mr Black"Artemis seethed and turned on her heels walking away just in time to see Sam Uley leaving the woods with bella.
Months went by and still no word at all from the cullens bella found out about the pack and Artemis , which made things more awkward . Until one night bella was out at la push Charlie was on night shifts, there was a noise from downstairs . Artemis looked out the window to see Carlisle's car , she spun on her heel and flew down the stairs determined to get rid of them before bella returned. Only to find herself face to face with Alice the future seeing pixie vamp. before she could send the pixie packing , bella herself burst through the door and practically threw herself at Alice. Artemis sat to the side glaring at Alice with her bright red eyes, It had been days since Artemis killed her first human and she'd been unable to stop herself since but bella was unaware of that and so were the wolves as far as she knew. Artemis tuned out the conversation until Alice appeared in front of her bella yelling at Jacob about some phone call. "what?" Artemis sneered. " I asked why your eyes are red?" Alice spoke as if it were an innocent question. Artemis laughed" what do you think Alice ?humans of course, after you left everything fell apart I lost everyone this is my way of dealing with it "Artemis spoke glaring at her hand not looking at Alice. you didnt have to see the future to know what was coming. Alice lunged herself at Artemis , their bodies colliding like rocks , Alice easily pinned to the floor in seconds. "do not even think for a millisecond about putting your filthy hands on me again"Artemis warned and took her place on the stairs . Bella came back in as Alice informed about Edwards decision to go to the volturi immediately dragging bella from the house. " if your taking her I'm coming too from what Carlisle told me of them you need all the help you can get but this is not a truce I may still rip your head from your shoulders" Artemis stated with a smile before climbing in the car. Volterra here they go.
