The next morning Artemis around three couldn't lay down anymore so telling Edward
were she was going, she went out for a run. By the time her mood had loosened she was
back in the country were her house had been. Not really wanting to walk home she slowly
walked toward the park. Once across from the park she finally felt calm knowing that by
the time she got home Emmett and Rosalie would be home. The road its self wasn't busy
but she could hear a tracker trailer coming and knew it would be best to cross now. As she
was about to cross the road she saw a small ball roll into the middle of it, and soon after a
little girl about 8 cross also. Then she smelled him, the boy that had drove her crazy and
who she longed to sink her fangs into
But as she sat there in a daze a picture popped into her head, one of the little girl dead.
Artemis finally realized the boy worried that the little girl wouldn't have enough time to
get away from the truck. In her daze she had forgotten about the truck.
" Shit" Artemis muttered
She quickly ran into the road but the truck was nearly on the girl so with all her mite she
pushed it to the side tipping it over. Eian on the other side began screaming thinking that
his sister had been smashed. When he came around the other side he couldn't help but
gasp at the little girl with her head in the shoulder of the girl her had met yesterday. The
girl was stiff and he quickly walked up to them
" Thank god Becca your ok" Eian said gently taking away the little girl. Then looking at
Artemis " You saved her I don't know how I will ever repay you"
" It's ok" Artemis said she had closed her senses off as soon as he walked near her. She
got up to leave but was stopped by a little hand looking down she looked into the bright
green eyes of the child she just saved.
" Thank you" Becca said softly
" Your welcome but I have to go, you should take her to the hospital just to have her
checked out" Artemis said to Eian
" What about you" Eian asked concerned
" A few bumps and bruises and my uncle is a doctor" Artemis said
" Ok, hopefully see you later" Eian said
" Maybe" Artemis said and walked away and once she knew that she was out of sight ran
as fast as she could home.
Knowing that her father had seen everything she headed to the kitchen were she knew that
everybody would be waiting for her. When she got their a small squeak escaped her lips
because Rosalie and Emmett were home already. Giving them both bone crushing hugs
she then went to sit next to her mother.
"So you saved the little girl, is she ok did anyone see anything" Esme asked
" No one saw she's fine" Artemis answered
" Why did you do it?" Jasper asked
" His thoughts filled my head about how much he loved her and for some reason I
couldn't bare to see him get hurt" Artemis said with a sigh putting her head between her
hands
" Oh no not again" Rosalie said shaking her head
" Yup" Edward said with a grimace
" What are you talking about!" Artemis demanded
" Well before I changed your mother…" Edward started and then went into the story
" I don't like the guy I just want to eat him" Artemis said
" That's how I felt at first give it a few more days" Edward said
Artemis didn't answer this gave her a lot to think about, looking at the clock she sighed
seeing that she only had 10 minuets till the first bell. Without a word Rosalie led her
upstairs an quickly picked out an outfit for Artemis to wear with out a word. Artemis
couldn't help but smile at her aunt who always knew exactly what to do.
" Thanks" Artemis said
" Your welcome " Rosalie said
Both women left it at that and then headed down stairs to were both Jasper and Alice were
waiting to take her to school. The ride there was silent and both "Adults" would look back
every once in a while to make sure everything was ok. When they got there Artemis didn't
wait for them knowing that Alice would end up in most of her classes an Jasper in at least
one. She sat in the back again this time with a open seat knowing that Alice would be there
to sit with her. The class soon began to fill up with everyone and once again she could
hear all their thoughts and most of them were about her.
I wonder why she's so quiet
She seems shy maybe I should introduce myself
God she's beautiful is she real
It's not nice to listen to other thoughts
The last one was Alice and Artemis looked up to see her Aunt smiling in front of her with
a grin on her face. .Silently sat down and handed Artemis her schedule, and as she
predicted Alice had nearly every period with her except for Music. That was another talent
she had acquired from her father, but she was better at singing then playing but she could
do both very well
Soon the bell rang and both girls headed to Chemistry they began to have a quiet
conversation.
" So when do I get to see the boy who stole your heart" Alice asked
" Not till the end of the day and I don't know about him steeling my heart" Artemis said
"Give it time" Alice said
" Why what do you see" Artemis asked
" That's for you find out" Alice said with a smirk
Artemis tried to read her aunts mind but to no avail she had already put a block up.
Artemis sent some curse words toward Alice making her laugh at how colorful her niece
was being. Chemistry went without a hitch and the next period Artemis left Alice to head
to music while she headed art.
