Artemis grabbed Emmett and threw him into the dirt, he slid through it getting caked in dirt. Artemis laughed at the look on Emmetts face as he stood. He wiped the side of his face, slinging the dirt back onto the ground.

"Again." Emmett stated as he rushed forwards. Artemis simply avoided the attack before grabbing his arm and pushing him back into the dirt.

"You're never going to win, Emmett." Jasper called. Artemis laughed gently at the teasing tone in Jasper's voice. Artemis missed this.

Even now that she's back it's not the same. Jasper is quieter when he's near Bella, the blood sending hot irons down his throat. Artemis could see the strain it put on her brother, everyone could.

But Edward didn't care, he wanted to be with Bella. And he was going to bring her around despite the pain and anger it caused everyone else.

And maybe Artemis was selfish in thinking that Isabella and Edward's relationship was not only dangerous but reckless. And maybe she was selfish if she wished that she had never been with Edward. Maybe she was selfish if she wished Isabella never existed.

Artemis had been selfless so many times in the past, and what had that ever given her? Pain and suffering. That's what it got her. And when you have the abilities she had it was easy to be selfish.

So she became selfish, molded herself into the woman she is today. Because if the world was just going to keep her down she was going to fight back.

Emmett scoffed, bringing Artemis out of her own head. She placed a teasing smile on her face as she cocked her hip out slightly placing her hand on top of it. "Like you could do any better, major."

"Really?" Jasper asked, raising an eyebrow. Artemis nodded. In truth Jasper knew he would lose the fight. She was the oldest vampire in existence with thousands of years of different fighting styles and practices.

"Really. Scared?" Artemis asked, dropping down quickly because Emmett used Jasper as a distraction to attack. Artemis popped back up and pushed him back into the dirt. "You know Emmett I'm starting to think you like the dirt more than me." Artemis teased as she threw him towards Rose.

The woman laughed as his body slid across the ground next to her. He smiled from the ground before standing next to Rosalie. Artemis smiled when Jasper moved in front of her signaling her for a fight.

They didn't even get a chance to fight before Edward's Volvo pulled into the clearing. When Jasper turned Artemis quickly jumped onto his back. Jasper caught her with a smile.

"You fight dirty, Ma'am." Jasper told her.

"How else should a lady win a fight, Major?" Artemis teased as she slipped off his back. Jasper chuckled deeply before finding his mate who was smiling at the pair.
