Not really watching were she was going, Artemis ended up in the art room were Jasper was, Alice
no were in sight knowing how frustrated her niece was. When she got to art she automatically felt \
the calming effect of Jasper. Sending him a thankful smile she sat down across from him. Both
vampires couldn't help but roll their eyes as the teacher began to explain the history of art, each
already hearing it. After a 20 minuet lecture the teacher decided to give each student the option to
do a sketch or painting in the last 40 minuets they had. Jasper headed directly for the paint and paper
while Artemis grabbed a sketching pencil and a knife to sharpen it. Once it was exactly the way she
liked it she put on her head phones and lost herself into drawing. First came the hand calloused
hands that were always being used. Big yet not unattractive and probably made you feel good.
Slowly she moved up to build his stomach, flat but gently defined by the muscles underneath. Broad
shoulder that led to a thick yet graceful neck, then came the face. High forehead with that slightly
broken Roman nose, high cheek bones that led to beautiful eyes and full lashes. Lips that looked so
soft it was sinful. His hair curly and laying just over his eyes. This face that seemed to haunt her
dreams ever since she had met him. That's when she smelled it, a whiff that had come from the open
window. That smell of fire and rain all mixed into one, this time however her need to eat him wasn't
nearly as strong as the desire to be near him and have him hold her. This lasting a few seconds when
a new smell came, the metallic smell that always made her excited. Three tables down a girl had
sliced her finger trying to sharpen her pencil. Jaspers eyes widened as he watched his nieces eyes turn
black and he could tell her fangs had come out. Quickly grabbing her hand and stuff he hurried them
out the room telling the teacher quickly that the blood made his cousin sick. Taking her outside he
put her on a bench and quickly sent a calming signal through her. Frustrated Artemis put her head in
her hands, she couldn't believe this was happening. All her life she had control but the last few
weeks had been loosing it. She needed to get out of here she needed to run, telling Jasper she just
needed air he left her reluctantly. Once she was sure he was back in class she ran, not even realizing
that some one was watching her. Knowing it would only take a few moments for her Aunt and
Uncle to sense that she was gone she ran as she never had before. She could hear here father asking
were she was going but rite now she didn't want to answer so she blocked him out of her head.
Through trees, over bushes and through fields, the land scape passed and yet she couldn't stop
herself. She was finally stopped by when she found herself at the edge of a cliff. Sitting on the edge
she watched as the waves beat into the rocks, one after another slowly wearing them down. Artemis
wondered when she had become the monster who lusted after human blood, for so long it didn't
effect her very much. This boys seemed to make her forget everything, all her concentration, all
those years with her grandfather. She would fight it though, she would never become one of the
monsters she had heard about or seen in her parents memories. The army of newlings, ravage
creaters who killed so many, or the royal vampires from Italy who herded the people like chattel.
Slowly getting up she knew that she should be getting home, everyone would be worried and
wondering were she was. As she began to ran she lost herself in her thoughts and when she finally
did stop she found herself at the park. It seemed to be continuously imprinted in her brain. With a
sigh she knew that she hadn't gone home because she wasn't ready. Sitting on the swing she began
to move back and forth, the movement seemed almost hypnotic to her. She hummed the lullaby her
that her father had wrote her when she was a little child.
Child of the wind, and sea
Young wild and carefree
Little one with the dark hair
So beautiful every one will stare
Artemis was brought out of her trance by a sweet smell, she knew it was him before she even
opened her eyes. He seemed to walk cautiously, not because he was afraid but simply not to startle
her. When she felt him sit down she opened her eyes and looked directly at him.
"So my sister was wondering how her angel was" Eian said
"Angel?" Artemis asked
" She said anything that beautiful and who could move like the wind had to be an angel" Eian said
" The last thing anyone could call me is an angel" Artemis said with a sigh
" So what are you creature of the wind" Eian asked
" Excuse me?" Artemis asked confused
" When you left school, one second you were there and the next you were gone as if you were never
there in the first place" Eian said
" I wasn't at school today so you must have been seeing things" Artemis said calmly
" Your eyes were pitch black and even though my whole body told me to run away from you I
wanted nothing more then to hold you" Eian said
" But… how I mean…" Artemis couldn't put it into words
" Let me in, please …" Eian said almost pleadingly
" I can't, you don't know what your getting yourself into" Artemis said
" I know if you wanted to you could run and I would never catch you" Eian awnsered
" I'm bad for you I'm… dangerous" Artemis said
" I don't care, I just want to be with you … just you" Eian said
