Disclaimer- Don't own Twilight

Claimer- I do own the plot and Artemis

APOV

We walked out of the terminal. I was so scared that I even started to hypervinalate a little. Wouldn't you if you had to meet the very vampires that were trying to get rid of you?

I don't know where they were but I had the feeling that the others did. They were vampires after all.

"Where are they?" I asked.

"They are waiting for us at the a clearing in the woods." Edward answered. His arm tightened around me.

"Are we going to go?" I asked.

"We have no choice." Carlisle said.

"Yes we do." Edward growled. "Were going to hide Artie. We'll take her somewhere and wait until they leave."

"We just tried that. They have a werewolf now. I can see them. We have no choice but to talk to them. If it turns into a fight someone is going to have to run with Artie." Alice said.

"NO!" I shouted. "You can't just sacrifice your family for me. I'm not that important." I cried.

"But you are. For more reasons then one." Esme smiled. "Before you Edward was in a depression, one that we never thought he would come out of. You changed that, and we are all grateful. You are also our goddess and we will sacrifice our lives for you."

"Screw that!" I shouted. Everyone was taken aback. "I have lost my mom, I have gone into a depression, and I had to take anti-anxiety pills twice a day. Then I started hanging out with you guys. I accepted my mom dieing, I forgot about my depression, and I haven't had to take an anti-anxiety pill for over two weeks. Now what do you think will happen if you guys leave? Especially if you leave for me?"

"She has a point." Alice said.

"We can't do anything about it." Emmett said.

"You like to fight don't you?" Alice asked.

"Only when the odds are in my favor." He retorted. Then they all started to bicker and argue.

"Then change me." I said.

Everyone just stared at me as if I grew a second head. I would so much rather have that happen to me then what is happening right now.

"What!" They all shouted after a while. For vampire brains it sure took a while for them to process what I said.

"Change me. That would make the battle an even one. If I turn into the vampire goddess wouldn't I get some awesome powers and shit like that?" I asked.

"You might. But if we change you you'll be a new born and therefore hard to control. You might just kill us too. That is how strong you would be." Carlisle explained to me.

"I wont kill you. I know I wont." I assured them.

"It won't happen. I will not have you turned into one of us." Edward said.

"I ordered you remember. You can't go back on your word." I told him.

"I wont do it." He shook his head.

"Carlisle?" I asked.

Carlisle looked at Edward how growled.

"NO!" Edward shouted.

"Of course I would Artemis." Carlisle smiled.

"When?" I asked.

"After we talk to the Volturi." Edward growled. He probably thought he could get us to forget about me being changed.

"That wouldn't work. They want me dead and would probably do it on the spot." I told him.

"We can win. We can talk to them." He pleaded.

"We can. You cant. The only way is for me to be changed. And that has to happen now." I told him sternly.

We walked out of the airport and out into the dark open night sky. It was raining, but you could see the sky as if it weren't.

The others started running in the other direction of the clearing. I hopped onto Edward's back and hung onto him. My arms were loose, but at the same time they were tight. I held onto him lovingly and kissed him neck. He rested his cheek on my head and then sped off in the same direction the others went.

We stopped at an old cottage looking house. There was a small garage where I could see two big jeeps, very big jeeps. We walked into the cottage. It was bare. No furniture, no art or pictures on the walls, nothing. We walked into, what I would assume would be the living room, where the others were.

"I need a phone." I said. Alice threw me her pink razor.

I punched in Charlie's cell number knowing he was at work and waited for him to pick up.

"Hello?" Charlie picked up the phone.

"Hey Charlie. Its Artie." I said.

"Hey! How are you? Are you back yet?" He asked.

"I'm fine, its just that I missed my flight and it will be a while before I get home so can you tell the school that I'm going to be a little late?" I asked.

"Sure no problem. I hope your having fun." I could almost see his smile.

"Yeah, I am having loads of fun. Well I got to go. Bye dad! Love you."

"Love your too Artie. Bye." Then he hung up.

"Loads of fun?" Emmett asked while I gave Alice back her phone.

"What? You don't think running away from crazy vampires who want to kill you just because you better then them is fun? I do." I gave him a fake smile.

"You are such a smart-ass you know that?" He asked with a smiled.

"You don't like it?" I gave him the boo-boo lip.

"I love it. It'll make it more fun to tease you because you will be able to take some of the things I dish out." He laughed.

"What about Charlie?" Edward asked.

"Tell him I died in a snowboarding accident. If he asked what I was doing snowboarding even though I'm a klutz, then tell him that I would let you guys talk me out of it. He knows I'm stubborn and that I wont let anyone tell me what to do." I gave them a sad smile as tears rolled down my eyes.

"Then I died going to save you." Edward said.

"Why?" I asked.

"I would never let you die without me trying to save you, so that gives it more of a reality." He smiled. it wasn't my favorite stupid goofy grin, so I knew it was fake.

"So lets go." I told Carlisle. He nodded.

He started walking up the stairs and I started to follow.

"Wait." Edward said. I stopped and turned around to look at him.

"This has to happen." I told him.

"I know." he sighed.

"Then what?" I asked.

"I want to do it." I huffed walked to where I was standing.

"I knew you would crack." I smiled at him. He smiled back but, again, it wasn't my smile.

We walked into a room and I found a single bed. I wonder if they put it in here just for me. It's not the time to ask.

"This will hurt. The change will take three days and you will be in a burning pain for that long., it will be the worst pain you will ever been in." Carlisle warned.

"Maybe physical pain, but I have been though more mental pains to where I would probably want to burn instead of being in the pain that I had to go though." I smiled sadly.

"We are going to stay here for a day. Then we will transfer you to another place. It's a house that we own on a island down passed South America." Carlisle said. "When we get there it will be hard for the Volturi to find us. While there we will help you learn how to control whoever power you have."

I just nodded. Edward leaned down to my ear.

"I love you." I whispered.

"And I you." He whispered back. Then he placed his lips right above my collarbone. He kissed me there and then he bit down.

It hurt. It burned. It felt like I was dieing. Well I guess I was, but I was right when I said that this would be the worse physical pain I would ever be in. this was a cake walk compared to the anxiety and depression I had gone through.

Then darkness started to came and my eyes closed by themselves. Before I was completely gone I heard Alice burst into the room.

"I know who the werewolf is." Alice cried. Not really cried, but you know, dry sobbed.

"Who?" Edward asked.

"Jacob Black." She shouted.

Edward growled and I barley heard him whisper the name 'Bella' then he was gone.
