Disclaimer: I don't known twilight.
A/N: Will be at bottom.
"My story begins in…well let's just say a long time ago. I was born in what now called Parris, France. It was a peaceful time; I lived with my mother, father, and later my little sister. We lived in our tribe's village surrounded by tueur prédateur. I had a normal childhood, and then my little sister was born when I was seven. I became very protective of her. On one afternoon I took her to a field to play, I saw my friends, so I figured she was safe enough. After all I was only going to be gone long enough to say hello. When I came back not five minutes later; she was surrounded by boys my age. They were pushing her around, and then something inside me snapped. I took off running toward them faster than I ever had before—by the time I got over there I was a cross of a saber-toothed tiger and a mountain lion. I accomplished what I wanted them never pushing her around again, just not the way I wanted too. It was a good thing that the tribe knew of the tueur prédateur—I knew what I had become and that I was a lucky one. I walked beside her all the way home, after all she was only five. I couldn't believe I didn't scare her. All she said was 'thank you brother you always have my back', she was very intelligent for her age. Once we were back at the hut I nudged her inside. I couldn't figure out how to change back, so I laid down in front of the tent. At some point I must have fallen asleep because I woke up in our hut in my bed in human form again. I was the only one in my family that still lived in the village that shifted, so they tracked down my great-great grandfather to tell me the legends. Why they don't pass the legends do through generations I don't know, but only the shifters know the legends."
"I'm sorry to interrupt, but are you stuck at twelve because you don't look twelve," Uncle Jasper asked.
"No unlike the Quileutes, we continue to age until were seventeen, then we stay the way until were killed. Which brings me to the next part of my story. When my great-great grandfather arrived he told me what he knew of our kind."
"Sorry but will you tell us these legends," Grandpa Carlisle asked looking like Aunt Alice. Grandpa Edward chuckled whether it was at me or someone else's thoughts I don't know.
"Yours," Grandpa Edward laughed.
"Anyways, yes I will, old friend, would you like for me to wait until you get a pen and paper," Luke joked.
"No, I think I can remember," he played along.
"Well we've been around for as long as we knew, and I know your curious Carlisle but I'm sure your questions will be answered in my story. He told me how only certain ones of us have the right genes to make the change. That our purpose is to protect the magical community no one knows about. To protect it from those who want to harm it. Along time ago my people created a different dimension for the more fragile species. We created a door, if you will, that only shifters and the species in this dimension know about."
"Then on my seventeenth birthday not only did my aging stop, but I was shown a moment of my life. I didn't know when this moment would happen, it just would. I could either chose to let it happen or change it—I chose to let it happen. No one knew what I saw for a long time, and I intended to keep it that way. But a few years back I didn't know I was being followed and when I got back they demanded to know what I saw. I've been on the run since.
"What could you have seen that would make your family turn against you, and want to hurt you?" Esme asked concerned.
"I saw this moment and your stories. Not mine obviously the tribe changed mine," Luke sighed.
"Why would they want to hurt you for that? You seem like such peaceful creatures," Grandma Bella observed. I knew I couldn't avoid telling them this, Luke thought. I looked up at him half-curious half surprised. I couldn't deny that I was hurt too. I knew I didn't have a right to know everything. I knew he didn't feel for me the way I felt for him, yet, so he wouldn't want to tell me everything but still.
Sigh. "I'm the only one of my kind that is peaceful, as you say. The rest of my kind is hateful to anyone besides family. They—and I want to clarify that I want nothing to do with them or what they do—they kill all supernatural predators. Now they don't hunt them just when they come across one, they kill them. You see they want to be the dominate species. They despise your Volturi because they would try and kill us off, like they did with the child of the moon." I hope they don't kick me out; I already feel at home and like I have a family for the first time. I've known them for so long, even if they haven't known me.
At that moment I didn't care if it was too early—he needed reassurance. I wrapped my arms around his side and pulled myself closer. You're not going anywhere, I sent to him through my mind.
"Esme would love to hear that thought, but I honestly was confused by the last part," Grandpa Edward smiled reassuringly.
"What were you thinking, dear," Esme asked. There was a silence; I gave him a little squeeze. He looked down to me; I gave a smile and nodded.
"I was thinking about the fact that I don't want to be forced to leave my family. I've known you all for so long even if you haven't known me," Luke said slowly.
"You may have heard my story through your vision, but you know nothing about us," Aunt Rosalie snapped. I knew she didn't like 'strangers' knowing her story.
"Ah, young Rosalie that's where your wrong. I followed you all, throughout most of your human lives and most of your vampire existence. Which reminds me, I am so sorry Rosalie I had gone to check on Emmett. I never thought Royce would attack you so soon, when I got back Royce was about to kill you. I did the only thing I could think of; I scared them away. I knew Carlisle was in the area, and him being who he is I knew he would find you. I disguised myself as an ally cat, laid down beside you, and slowed your death until Carlisle could change you. I am so sorry I couldn't stop him." Everyone sat in shock; I didn't know what to think. I finally came back to reality when Aunt Rose asked.
"Why didn't you just let me die?"
"Well, let me answer your question with a question. Would you want to take yourself away from your family, your husband, your children?" I wish I could have heard that thought and warned him not to go there. In her mind she'll never have children.
"I can't have children," she said through gritted teeth. Luke looked around curiously.
"You all don't know."
"Know what," Uncle Emmett asked. He always wanted kids, but he would never say anything. He didn't want Aunt Rose to feel bad about something she can't help.
"Sarah's gift."
"Luke, Sarah doesn't have a gift," Grandpa Carlisle said as if talking to a small child.
"Huh, that's what she said is it, interesting," Luke said cryptically.
"Elizabeth, what do you think," Grandpa Carlisle and everyone else stared at me.
"I don't know if I should say, it's not my place." I threw my mental shield around me and Luke. I got the feeling he knew by the way he was talking. He hadn't thought it yet, so it was still a secret.
"But you do know her power," Luke asked.
"Yes," I looked down at my lap and played with my hands.
"Edward," Grandpa Carlisle asked.
"I don't know she put her shield around her and Luke," Grandpa Edward grumbled.
"Luke, just continue your story and don't say anything it's not our place," I said irritated can't they respect privacy.
"Okay, well, I knew that this would be my family one day, and I wanted to protect you. We can sense our family, so I waited for you. I followed you through your human lives the best I could. I didn't interfere with your changings because I knew it was your destiny. It was just a matter of who, when, and how you would turn out. I knew Carlisle would be the first to try if I didn't interfere with a few exceptions. I decided to guide you safely through your human lives until you got to Carlisle. First came Carlisle, as you know I showed him a different way. I knew he would find it eventually but time was running out. After that I knew he would become a doctor it was who he is. I stayed near him he was the only one at the time. I had to stay farther away when he was with Italy. They couldn't find me. Once Edward was born I went to protect him. When the influenza was near Chicago; I located Carlisle. I told him he needed to go to Chicago to help, that a great illness would break out soon, and he was needed there. I was thankful he didn't ask questions. I knew he was lonely, but I could also tell he didn't really want to change him. So I gave him a little push."
"One day while Carlisle was 'sleeping' I went to Elizabeth, and told her Carlisle could save her son in a way no other doctor could. I wasn't so lucky this, she asked me how. I told her that I couldn't say just to trust me. She was about to die, she might of had a few hours left. I couldn't let her die without giving my message. So I jumped out the window, shifted into an ally cat, and slowed her death. When Carlisle returned she delivered my message perfectly without even knowing."
"How," Aunt Alice asked.
"She said save him. He said he would do everything in his power. She said you must, you must do everything in your power. What others cannot do, that is what you must do for my Edward. I knew he got the message, so I released the hold I had on her life. I left after that to check on Esme until it was time for you to move. When it was I placed clues all around that said Wisconsin. You may have been a vampire but your subconscious still worked the same. I had to hurry I didn't like being away from Esme because of Charles. I wanted to stop him so bad, I did. But I knew if I did she wouldn't run and then she wouldn't jump, then she wouldn't be changed. I am deeply sorry I couldn't stop him, though I did make him learn."
"What do you mean? You didn't kill him…I did," Grandpa Edward said. I didn't kill the wrong person did I, he added in his head.
"Yes, you did kill him. I just said I made him learn."
"What did you do?"
"Well you see, you and Carlisle aren't the only ones with medical degrees. Plus I was around during the medieval torture. So I might of made it where he would have trouble I guess you could call it, sexual. That is only after I beat him for days without leaving a single scar. I hope I don't scare you away. I was just so angry he could harm such a sweet lady. I would have done the same to Royce be Rosalie beat me to him." What happened next surprised us all, Esme ran over to him squeezing him in a bear hug.
"Thank you so much," she smiled through sob-less tears. She released him and ran over to Grandpa Edward pulling him into a bear hug as well, "Thank you son, why didn't you tell me?"
"I would do it all over again Mom. I just didn't want you to be disappointed in me," Grandpa Edward said hugging her back.
"Never," she whispered looking him in the eyes. Then she went back to Carlisle cuddling into his side. "Continue Luke."
"Yes well during that we can't forget Alice. I watched her from a far and sometimes close. Sometimes I would disguise myself as a cat and lay around your house. I was gone when you entered the Asylum. When I came back, I saw a vampire working as a grounds keeper. I told him to be friend you and try and save you from 'treatment', that you were special, and when the time comes to change you, that he would know when. I knew you were in good hands, so I went to check on the others. After I was satisfied; I came back to see that the vampire I had protecting you was almost dead. I sent him away and knocked out James until I could call a fairy to tamper with his memory to make him think he killed the vampire. I knew he would heal, so I told him he needed to disappear to protect himself. He wanted to stay with you, Alice, but I told him you had to find your path alone. And before Jasper jumps me for leaving you alone, you rarely were I was almost always close."
"He's alive," Aunt Alice asked in a quiet voice. Luke nodded. "Do you know where?" he shook his head.
"No but I know he stays in Canada after his incident with you."
"Can we find him, I want to thank him."
"I would like to thank him as well as you," Jasper interjected calmly.
"We can do that."
"Back to my story though, I would occasionally check on Jasper but you were rather difficult because of all the blood thirsty newborns. I didn't have much to do for you though for a few reasons. One I knew with your conscious you would leave, and Alice being Alice would find you. Two your pet Maria would never let you be harmed you were too important to her. Yes, I say your pet; you could have easily over thrown her so she kept you happy. But I know you didn't want to. Three you are an excellent fighter. Which reminds me never feel weak. You are just as strong as the rest."
"No I'm not I slip more than the rest," Uncle Jasper admitted shamefully.
"Jasper you don't just deal with your own thirst you deal with each of your family members as well."
"But…"
"No son, Luke is right. I just never thought of it that way," Grandpa Carlisle interjected.
"How can we help him," Grandma Bella asked.
"Simple half of you hunt one week, half hunt the next. That way you're not as hungry when jasper is.
"We can do that. Did you interfere with my life," Emmett asked.
Luke smiled, "Yes I did, again not much to do until you almost died being mauled by a bear. I had seen Rosalie hunting about thirty miles from you so I linked my mind to some deer and to them to lead her to me. You see I can influence the elements as well, so I sent a gust of wind at the bear to fend him off until Rosalie got to you. After you were with them I didn't have to worry I knew Rosalie could keep you in line. And still can I see. Then I went back to Alice until she found Jasper. Then I still checked up on you all but I had some time to myself for the next few decades. Until Bella was born then I stayed near her. Which I soon learned was a full time job. Edward, you always wondered how she made it to seventeen, well I was there guiding, watching, following, protecting her. When she moved I came with her. Then when she got to you I knew she was safe, or so I thought. But you managed to save her time and time again. I stayed on James' tail when he was hunting Bella. Though I stayed way enough so you wouldn't hear my thoughts, I didn't want you to know I was meddling until it was time. Then with the newborn army I pushed an air current below me, so I could float between the two battles ready to step in at a moment's notice. I wouldn't let any of you get hurt. I didn't expect Jacob to be a hero. But there was nothing I could do the Volturi were too close. You see my scent isn't noticeably different unless you know what to look for. But I was watching Jacob as well, but he didn't need me being a shape-shifter. Anyways, I was close when the wolves were threatening Renesmee and when the Volturi tried to kill her. I was always there but never seen."
"I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say thank you. I appreciate it especially I probably wouldn't of made it to seventeen without your help," Grandma Bella sighed at the end.
"Oh you wouldn't have," Luke laughed.
