A/N: Hey guys sorry it took so long. I was debating what I wanted to do with Noah and this chapter really kicked my ass. To those of you who probably won't like this chapter, or feel like I did something that I shouldn't have I'm sorry! Also I kind of led up to this with the whole Bella knowing more about the supernatural than anybody else so sorry if this didn't go the way you had hoped!

THIRD POV
Before Alice could even start in on her places for the day two foreign scents appeared out of nowhere. These two scents seemed to be followed by three other scents that were a few miles behind them. The front door was busted open as two young girls rushed into the house gasping. Looking around the two sighed in relief at finding the person they were looking for so easily.
"Grandma!" they both shouted rushing forward to hug her.
Bella's POV
Alice was about to tell us all about the day she planned before our house was invaded by two very familiar little girls. These two familiar girls just also happened to rush me with a shout of grandma.
"Kyla? Kara?" I asked in surprise.
"Grandma!" everyone else shouted in shock.
"Who are you people?" the twins asked in confusion. They'd never met my new family in this life time.
"That's what I'd like to ask" Emmet grumbled with folded arms. "Bella who are these kids? And why are they calling you Grandma?"
Kyla and Kara glared at Emmet with contempt and I flicked the back of their heads to draw their attention back to me.
"Guys let's just all calm down." I said as I began to think. What to do what to do? How should I go about this?
"Bella" Rosalie, my beautiful Rosalie said as she looked at me. "Just tell the truth. Okay?"
"Okay. This is going to be a long story so I suggest everyone get comfortable." I instructed and watched as everybody found themselves somewhere to sit and lay down. "Everybody ready?"
"Ready!"
"Okay well uhm I guess I'll start at the beginning"
FLASHBACK (OF SORTS)
A long, long time ago when the Earth was young, and the sun was bright, and the moon close to the Earth there was a man who lived. A man like no other man. It was actually safe to assume that this man wasn't human. And this assumption would be correct.
This man was born to a normal family for his time period. A young mother, middle aged father, and the middle child altogether of his 13 siblings alive and dead. This world wasn't kind to children. Only the strong survived.
On the day of his birth it was said that his skin shone like the stars. On the night they say that they weren't sure what exactly they were looking at in the crib. And then there were times when unexplainable things happened. Where his laughter split from the air with a tiny set of wings and flew away. His tears turning into beautiful women that lived in the streams and oceans, his anger creating earthquakes that angry golems of earth and lava emerged from.
Needless to say the boy was unlike any other and on his fifteenth year he was chased from his tribes temporary settlement in hopes that he would die and take with him all of the trouble he had caused.
He did die however. In fact he flourished on his own and learned to control his gifts. He had teeth sharper than knives with eyes red as blood, his skin would shift and shape itself into a creature of four legs, he could sprout wings and fly and enter a whole knew dimension. He realized that as the number of suns and seasons passed that he had ceased to age. He was the father of all beings not human.
After what was in reality many years he fell in love with a woman. A beautiful woman with red hair and green eyes. He began sneaking into her tribes camp late at night to woe her and tell her stories of 'make believe' as she believed them. Soon enough he asked her father for her hand and after paying her dowry the two left to start their lives together.
The woman began to see the strangeness that was her husband but was still deeply in love with him that she accepted it for who he was. Soon she fell pregnant and he waited on her hand and foot. Everything she wanted and needed her provided for her. Six months later she had given birth to two healthy baby boys.
The man was worried about this however. He knew nothing about his condition or what he was and was afraid that they would be like him. For six years the two boys led a normal life until one day the youngest of the twins shifted forms into a wolf. The eyes of the eldest twin became a deep red and his teeth sharpened into canines.
Finally the man confessed to his wife and showed her his powers and told her of the creatures he had created in his youth. The woman after much thought named her children's species. For her eldest he would be known as a vampire, and for her youngest a shifter, wolf to be more specific. She'd named his other creations as Faye though each breed of Faye had their own names.
After their sixth year each child began to age differently. The vampire child aged rapidly while his brother aged slower the longer he stayed in wolf form. On their twelfth birthday where one boy looked to be nineteen, and the other ten the boys decided that they'd like to explore the world on their own for a while. The pseudo nineteen year old looked old enough to be taking care of a younger brother and so the man took his wife to the world of the Faye where they lived for many years.
One hundred years later and they returned to the land of man to be reunited with their sons as well as to introduce them to their younger siblings. They had three more brothers. One the first in the elven species to be born. His ears were pointed, his skin pale, and his eyes a ghostly blue. He was beautiful and terrifying all at once. The next was a shark shifter. He was always filled with energy but poor eye sight. The next boy was the first herbivore shifter. He could shift into a moose and was very well built.
It then seemed like their mother was always pregnant as she had child after child. She gave birth to a young seductress of the Faye, an incubus, a male fox shifter, elementals Faye children; one for each of the four elements. It went on like this for years until finally she had given birth to unknowingly the last child she'd have. A female feline shifter who was given the name Bastet in the Egyptian settlement where the man and his wife found themselves living.
With their twins there was discontent.
The youngest of the two, the wolf shifter had met a young woman that became his moon and stars. His tether to the world. His mate and imprint. Unlike the shifters of today he could not refuse the shift. It was unthinkable and he feared that while he continued to stay in a fixed age, that his imprint would age until she died; leaving him alone in the world.
He approached his brother and asked of him to change her into a vampire. He'd seen his father do it a number of times and beseeched his brother.
The oldest twin was unsure of what to do. He wanted to appease his brother but there was also something about the young woman that continuously through him into a frenzy. Finally after much debate he agreed to help his brother out. It was however with his first bite that he realized that he would be unable to stop drinking. He'd discovered his singer
He looked pleadingly at his twin and the wolf tried to separate the two. The eldest had succumb to his blood lust and didn't want to hand her over. The two began to fight which resulted in the woman's death.
The wolf never forgave his brother. Filled with rage he attacked the sorry male who was crying in pain for the harm he had caused.
Their father who had been watching appeared before them and tried to bring peace to the situation. It was a terrible accident and mistake that had occurred and his eldest was sorry. The twin however would not let it be forgiven and cursed all who had vampire blood.
Leaving in his anger the wolf shifter began spreading his genes around mating with women both willing and unwilling in an attempt to have more wolf shifters born. Anger soon became the root for his change and this spread to his descendants.
The vampire also wanted to spread his genes but in his case he wanted a family. Soon he had many children and his children had children. The vampire gene soon became diluted in some of the humans that were living. They were his relatives but the gene in them was weak and the only way that they could become vampire was if they were changed.
Their father who was very disappointed in the way that things turned out decided to bestow upon his two eldest sons a gift.
To the wolves they were given the ability to run fast and far over a wide distance, fast metabolisms so that their bodies would always have fuel, advanced senses and advanced healing capabilities. This was both to aid and protect them in either situation.
To the vampires they were given skin as hard and cold as stone, they were no longer in need of sleep so that they could always be on alert, and to those born with the gene they had gifts. Special powers that only those who already had the gene could possess.
It was their father's wish that they would soon see that there would be no real advantage to either side and that instead both sides would have the same amounts of damage.
Soon many people began to see the strangeness of the two brothers and claimed them to be witches. An angry mob set out to destroy them but their father intervened. Stepping in front of a sword that was aimed for his sons he was poisoned. The two sons fled as their father took the brunt of the attack.
When he went home that day to his wife and at the time seven year old Bastet his life was already draining away. That night he died and his wife, who had only survived as long as she did because she was mated to him crumbled into dust before getting swept away by a breeze.
Bastet had to learn to live on her owns and though nobody realized it at the time she was the reason for the whole cats have nine lives rumor.
END FLASHBACK (OF SORTS)
After I finished the story I let them all sit there and take in what was said. It was a lot to take in to be honest.
"So what you're saying is that the wolves and we are related?" Emmett asked in confusion.
"Kind of. Only vampires with gifts and the wolves are related by blood. The other vampires are simply in laws or adopted. They didn't have the vampiric gene, they were changed."
"But what does this story have to do with you Bella? The only thing you talked about was some really old guy who was supposedly the first supernatural and his two oldest kids who tried to kill each other" Kate pointed out and I flinched.
"And Bastet." Rosalie whispered and I smiled. "Why would you mention the name of the youngest born if she was just a child when they died.
"Well because in a way I'm Bastet" I tell them with a shrug that got me a lot of looks.
"What!? That's not true!" Alice said in shock. "You're only sixteen!"
"And shouldn't you look more Egyptian than Caucasian?" Tanya put in.
"You're both right. I… my body is that of Isabella Swan and in this lifetime I am a sixteen year old girl. However spiritually, in regards to my soul I am much much older. My soul is in a way reincarnated." I explain with a blush. Should I be embarrassed? Maybe proud?
"How is it reincarnated?" Carlisle asked excitedly. Leave it to Carlisle to be fascinated by this, well he wouldn't be Carlisle if he wasn't.
"Well uhm it's a really long and complicated process…" I try but taking in the faces of everyone who looks expectant of me I see that that isn't going to work. "Well the first step in my reincarnation is that my body has to be in the process of being born. I'm always reincarnated into a full blooded cat shifter. A single birth cat shifter. No twins at all"
"Like the twins die?" Leah asked.
"No I mean the twins never were there to begin with. It's very rare for four legged animals to have single births so that's the first matter of business. When my soul recognizes it's next body half of it will split away and go into my unborn body. As my unborn self becomes stronger and older within my mothers womb, the other half of my soul, in my older body will continue to transfer. On the day of my birth, the moment if breathe in air for the first time the rest of my soul seeps into my body and my older body dies" I explain as simply as I could.
They all seemed to be processing that information for themselves so I decided it would be best if I didn't interrupt. It wasn't every day when you learned of someone like me.
"So what you're saying is that you're Bastet? You're Cat Goddess?" Victoria asked sounding a bit unbelieving.
"And for the Greeks around at the time Goddess of the moon" I throw in with a laugh.
"And that's how you have grandchildren" Jasper supplied drawing me back to Kyla and Kara who were just lounging there.
"Yes" I say with a nod. I'd rather not talk about my children right now. I loved them all but some of their fathers. Not so much.
"That still doesn't explain what they are doing here" Esme pointed out.
"That's right! How could you forget!" Kyla stood up with a shout as she glared at Kara.
"Me you mean you!" Kara shouted back.
"WHAT-
"Girls." I say and they instantly quiet down. "Just tell me what it is that you forgot"
"Grandma. It's Noah" Kyla said with a gulp.
"He's up to something. You know how he's supposed to be in isolation? Well we saw some vampires talking to him" Kara said.
"And when we checked in on him yesterday they were bring him some arctic wolf shifter" Kyla went on.
"Father sent us here" Kara said.
"He says hi" Kyla added and then they stopped talking altogether.
Noah. Noah was up to something. Again.
"Who's Noah?" Rosalie asked. She must have sensed my feelings because she placed a comforting hand on my back.
"Noah. He's… well he's my son" I sigh. I really don't like talking about Noah.
Rosalie's POV
I could feel Bella's anxiety as she was asked about Noah. I was surprised to hear that he was her son but not for long. She had grandchildren so of course her kids would still be alive. I was hoping that they wouldn't ask for more information on him because I could see how depressed she was but I also realized a moment later that they needed more information.
"Can you tell us about Noah Isabella?" Kathy her mother asked. I guess Bella never told her mother about him either.
"It was about seven lifetimes ago. The 1300s. I was born into a pride of Asian Caracal in Western Asia. I was fourteen when I was married of to a Vampire." Bella explained and I flinched. I know marrying ages back then were questionable but she was only a child. A little girl.
"The vampires name was Malakhi. Or at least that was the name he went by when I met him. He, let's just say he was a very mean man" Bella whispered and I tightened my grip on her while the other shifter in the room stiffened. It wasn't hard to figure out what she meant by mean man.
"I got pregnant not long after I was married to him and had three kids. Usually the children between our two species would be a perfect mix between the two. My son, the runt of the litter as I liked to call him was about 80% vampire. He could only perform a halfway shift and he was the butt of a lot of jokes. Many people disliked him.
"I tried to spoil him. Show him extra love but it never seemed to be enough. His father hated him. He hated the fact that Noah was so weak and neither of us faired so well in his house. Noah got into a fight when he was thirteen. Malakhi had been betting on child fights and had taken Noah. He wanted Noah to fight a human. Noah refused. He knew that if he fought the human the boy could die. Noah forfeited.
"That was the worst night. Noah refused to come out of his room and Malakhi was furious. He blamed me for babying the boy and talked about rectifying it. I tried to help, stop it. Some days I could, most days I couldn't.
"One night when Noah was sixteen, Malakhi was really upset with me. I'd lost another litter and he'd come after me. It… it was bad and I thought I was… Noah jumped in with his cat like reflexes and vampire strength. Malakhi didn't stand a chance.
"The prides were furious and wanted Noah executed but I wouldn't let them. I convinced them to let me take him. A safe house was built for him and that's where we lived. I don't think he could ever forgive me after that. I think he blamed me for the whole thing actually.
"When I get reborn his house is rebuilt in the same region as mine in case I'm needed. He get's upset if he can't sense me. He's got a hero complex. If he thinks someone is being wronged he jumps in to help them. It's just that his form of help usually leaves a large amount of death behind." Bella explained sadly and I started purring in hopes of cheering her up.
"If it's okay with you I'm going to take Bella upstairs for a while" I say looking at Bella's granddaughters. Lifting her into my arms I start for the stairs. "You can tell her the rest later"
"Who are you?" one of the girls asked.
"I'm Bella's mate" I tell the both of them.
"Good. She's been waiting for you for a long time" the other girl said with a smile and I nodded.
Making my way up to our room I push the door open and lay us down on the bed. Bella curls into me with a sigh.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine" she mumbled with a shrug.
"Bella don't lie to me. You don't have to tell me but don't lie" I tell her as I tilt her face to look me in the eyes.
"I'm sorry. It's just. It's my fault. What happened I mean. I should have put an end to everything but… I was scared. He was right I was wrong even when he was always wrong. Noah wouldn't have been hurt like that if I had just done something" she told me as she cried and I hated that a man who was long since dead could cause her so much pain. I detested the bastard who would treat his wife and son like that.
"It wasn't your fault Bella. I know it wasn't. Noah did that to protect you yes, but he also did it because he was afraid of living like that anymore. He was tired of that man hurting you" I tell her.
"I was too but I still kept us there"
"Bella if you had left you'd have been killed. You and you children" I say.
"Yes but we could have survived." Bella tried to explain.
"But that wouldn't have been a guarantee. Stop blaming yourself. It wasn't your fault. It wasn't Noah's fault. It was Malakhi's fault." I tell her and Bella sobbed.
We laid there for hours as Bella took comfort in me before she finally spoke again.
"I have to go and speak to Noah. Soon before the council does anything rash"
"Okay. We'll go. He'll listen to you?" I asked with a nod.
"He does." She nodded.
"Okay then"
And that was the end of the conversation.
A/N: Hey guys! I have a request for you all. For those of you who don't know I'm a college student and this upcoming semester I will be taking a creative writing class. Because of this I will be asked to write stories long and short based off of prompts given to me by the teacher. And so I decided what better way to get practice at this than by having you guys send me prompts that you'd like. So here's what I'd like. All of these will be one shots however.
Send me an idea prompt for any pairing that I ship (you'll find my favorite pairings on my page). Give me as many details that you would like to see or none at all. What rating you would like it to be.
I'll have it posted two days after I'm given the prompt.
If it's already a story that I'm thinking about writing then I will apologize to the person who suggested it but I won't be able to write it.
I'd like this to start August 6th but that doesn't mean that you can't get your prompts into me early.
After I write the one shot tell me what you thought! Did it suck! Did I write it to your liking! Was it what you were looking for! Don't be shy because this will be very helpful to me!
I'll put down the name of the person who sent me the request! I'd like to get it through PM.
If this isn't clear I'll only be writing stories based on my ships! If I don't ship it then I won't write it! Sorry! Somebody already sent me a 100 ship between Raven and Anya and that'll be the only one I'll write because I ship Clarke and Anya!
Thanks and spread the word guys!
