Artemis already knew of his power in a way it was similar to Edwards only aro required physical contact to do so and it wasn't only current thoughts it was every damn thought every dream. Artemis placed her free hand in his only for him to pull away moments later. " my my what a troubled past you have I assure you those wolves will be dealt with and with your gifts your oh so many gifts theres much to learn for you my dear and as for the cullens you all knew and had full knowledge from the start that shes Demetri's biological daughter his bloods runs through her and yet you were keeping her from her true father and from me her true mate , that there is two crimes Cullen not including the fact you told your precious human about us , just how many more crimes are the Cullen clan going to commit? Perhaps we should have you wait for the rest of your clan to arrive i'd like to know what Carlisle was thinking keeping me and my mate apart .Jane escort them to the dungeons Felix assist . My dear Artemis your home at last and my dear so beautiful, come young one there is much to discuss wouldn't you agree? Caius be a dear and give our dear friend Carlisle a phone call ". Aro and Artemis left the room .
Aro and Artemis exit the throne room arm in arm for a private discussion . As Artemis entered Aro's office , she took a look at her surroundings everything was black and red , even the bookcases were colour co-ordinated. "Take a seat dear one there is much I wish to ask and I do imagine you have some of your own" Aro spoke whilst politely gesturing to the chair on the opposite side of his desk. Artemis sat with her back straight against the chair although her legs were crossed over one another . Artemis felt at ease being alone with Aro even though she knew she should feel fear or intimidation at the least. Artemis cleared her throat hinting for Aro to start the conversation. "First thing first my dear as you may have caught back there in the throne room I did mention that you weren't only Demetris daughter but my mate also. A true mate is a bond so sacred. They are a vampires wish, some never meet there mate but when we do our life brightens and we get rather protective so I do apologise if my behaviour was out of hand . You are my true mate young Artemis and although you have a lot to understand I need you to know that I will do everything in my power to keep you save, nobody else matters to me like you do. With that being said we can move on to the next topic. Demetri is without a doubt your true father so I do wonder what immortal tendencies have past down , this is the first we have had a vampire be able to create and I thank whatever god it is that allowed this to happen for we have you" Aro rambled on watching Artemis intently gauging her reactions." Dr Cullen always stated that I was half vampire half human. For instance I do have a heartbeat despite being immortal but my skin is tougher than that of a regular human. Blood runs through my veins therefore allowing me to be warm to touch. I can eat regular human food although consuming human blood keeps my strength and health up better . Oh I must sleep to also keep from going weak as my gifts aren't truly under control it takes a lot of restraint , therefore making me tired more than usual. I am as strong as you are but slightly slower not by much. Dr Cullen did suspect that I may be more vampire than human" Artemis spoke calmly with a shrug , truth be told she didnt mind that she was different it was no secret. "Fascinating absolutely mind blowing now you say gifts as in plural now I saw glimpses earlier, you do remarkably have a number of gifts but what would you say youre most comfortable with". Aro questioned he saw glimpses of her life via his gift earlier although he didnt hold on to see as much as he would have liked. " Well let me see there is mind control, that was the first ever gift I recall getting, although Dr Cullen says its something else. I can bend a mind at will and hold it for as long as I wish. id also have to say control of the elements with fire being the most prominent out of the four, my eyes change colour depending on my mood or hunger status but thats not necessarily a gift" Artemis trailed off if she was honest she didnt like it that her eyes changed colour. She believed it gave to much away.
Meanwhile in the throne room Caius had summoned the missing members of the Cullen clan and until they arrived , Edward, Alice and Bella had been taken down to the dungeon. All Demetri could think of was how he would approach his daughter , how would he speak to her surely she would be staying with the complication of her being Aros mate. He had already missed the beginning of her life and he sure as hell would not miss anymore this was her home now.
