Disclaimer: I don't own twilight.

A/N: I know I change some of the book facts but only a little to fit my story. It's the explanations I see for some of the mysterious things in the books. Happy reading!

"Are you threatening my wife," Grandpa Edward snarled. Grandma Bella put her hand on his arm.

"No her blood it was your singer but she was sweeter to everyone. You see, Bella's blood is—or was—special. It called to all vampires stronger than all other humans. It really didn't help you Edward with her being your singer. I just meant that she has cheated death many times. I prevented many vampire attacks," Luke defended.

"Why was Bella's blood stronger than others," Uncle Jasper asked the question on everyone's mind. Except Grandpa Carlisle's who was reciting medical terminology in his mind.

Luke turned to Grandpa Carlisle, "Are you telling them or shall I?"

Grandpa Carlisle sighed, "I will…now I don't know the complete story or I assure you I would have said something. I just didn't want you all to ask questions I couldn't answer. I tried doing research but I couldn't find anything," he paused for a moment, "Bella's blood was strong because she is an immortal soul. In this lifetime, and all others, she is destined to be a part of the supernatural until death then it starts all over." Everyone gasped.

"Until now," Grandpa Edward mumbled.

"Edward you do have a soul. Let me ask you this you once said Bella had the most beautiful soul. Are you honestly telling me she lost her soul without losing her personality? Soulless monsters do exist but you're not one; they can't feel you can. Are you saying Esme doesn't have a soul? Or Carlisle? Or Alice? Or your daughter she is half vampire, so according to you she doesn't have a soul either?"

"I never looked at it that way," Grandpa Edward said looking down.

"Yes, well Carlisle's right. But he left out there is many possible creatures she could have become."

"I wasn't going to say that because it brings the question why. Which brings bad and painful memories up I'm sure," Grandpa Carlisle hinted to drop it. Which Luke ignored.

"That may be Carlisle and I appreciate you trying to protect us, but we can handle it," Grandma Bella said looking to her mate.

"Well what could she have become," Aunt Rose asked impatiently.

"That depends on the outcome of Edward's decisions. If Edward had kept her human and she was happy and in love at the age of 25 on valentine's day she would have gone into a deep sleep until midnight. When she woke up it would be the last. She would travel the world, doing what some have failed to do themselves," Luke said cryptically. I took down my shield so Grandpa Edward could try and pick something up in his thoughts.

"Which is?" I asked speaking up for the first time in a while. I was hypnotized by his soft mystical voice. Grandpa Edward chuckled at me. Being the mature people we were, we stuck our tongues out at each other.

"A cupid," Luke stated. Everyone gasped. "She would have traveled the world with her lover bringing people together."

"The other possibilities," Grandpa Edward asked warily. If I can give her so much good, what bad could I have done, or do.

I'll save that one for last, I'll go with the next happy one, Luke thought.

"I want to hear the bad one," Grandpa Edward insisted. Luke looked to Grandma Bella, she gave a small nod.

Sigh. "When you left," Luke started and Grandpa Edward flinched, "if you didn't come back or she committed suicide. Either way by 21 on the anniversary of the day you left…she would have become a…she would have become a Banshee." Grandpa Edward made a sound that sounded like he was choking. I hurt her that bad, I knew she down played it for me. Suicide I can't believe it was that bad.

"What's a banshee," I asked watching Grandma Bella try to console Grandpa Edward. She was murmuring she was here; she was fine, it didn't happen.

"A banshee is a screamer of the night. They too are immortal. They travel the world finding couples with love like she had killing one of the pair, so they have to feel the pain she will feel forever. Though her first victim would be the one who broke her. Now of course she couldn't actually kill him. However him knowing what he would had done would kill him figuratively."

"Don't you mean broke her heart," I asked confused.

"No I mean just that. When they left it broke her, she was in all senses of the word broken. It killed me to know there was nothing I could do. That the only one who could fix her underestimated her feelings and was being a stupid idiot. She wasn't even catatonic for 4 months she was worse than that. Don't get me started on the first week. She locked herself in her room with her window open mumbling 'he's gone'," Luke's voice grew soft, " she wouldn't eat, or drink, or go to school. She just laid in the spot he used too. I was about to go get Edward and drag him back and make him watch what he did to he until he changed his mind. But she started moving again even then though she was just going through the motions, an empty shell. I figured I would give him until her 19th birthday to come back before I went and got him. I'm glad I didn't have to wait that long."

"What do you mean I underestimated her love for me," Grandpa Edward asked confused and slightly appalled when he finally found his voice again.

Luke didn't have a chance to answer before Aunt Rose did, "You moron anyone could tell she loved you as much as you loved her, even if she was human, sort of I guess." Everyone stared at her shocked. "What just because I wasn't fond of you, Bella, didn't mean I was blind. I was trying to protect you. Was I jealous but more so I was trying to save you from this life."

"Before you implied there were more things Bella could have become. Would you mind telling us the rest," Uncle Jasper asked. I could tell the emotions were getting to him because they were getting to me too.

"Ah yes, there are two more. One if she moved to Forks but none of you met her, she would have become a guardian at the age of 18. She would have spent eternity making sure the Olympic Peninsula was always in balance. Balance between the trees and the predators. The last one there is a bit of irony. If she would have been trapped in a fire. When she finally could come out after the fire consumed her; she would come out an immortal and a human phoenix. Not only could and would she control the sunrise and sunset, but she would control fire and transform into a phoenix."

"Dear you said that you would be our family one day, how," Grandma Esme asked.

"Luke, what language is that and please stop thinking it. God that's annoying," I complained covering my ears even though I knew it would do no good.

"Bella would you please shield my mind, I would rather no one know that answer right now. Because I would rather it happen the way it's supposed to," Luke responded calmly.

"There, now I would appreciate it, if you didn't talk about my depression or Edward's leaving with anyone but the people in this room and the wolves. They're the only ones who know," Grandma Bella asked yet ordered at the same time.

"I have no problem with that. But I do have a question, why does one of your granddaughters know but not your own daughter," Luke countered.

"It has to do with another one of my gifts. One touch and I can know every thought you've ever had. I didn't know how to control it when I first acquired it. So everyone I touched I knew they're past. You don't have to worry though I've learned to control it sense then, and I won't listen to your past until you want me to if you want me too."

"As for why my daughter doesn't know; I didn't want her to think badly of me," Grandpa Edward said with his head in his hands.

"Love, what did I tell you, you did what you thought was best," Grandma Bella soothed him.

"I could have turned you into a banshee. How can that be best? How can you sit there and tell me you love me? Why aren't you leaving me?"

"I love you and I stay because no matter what you think of yourself you're my angel. You didn't turn me into a banshee you would have come back. Or Luke would have made you, I'm confident in that," Grandma Bella tried, "Now no moping or else I'll put my shield over Emmett and have him beat the shit out of you. Please don't feel bad about this."

Sigh. "I don't know if I'll never not feel bad. I hurt you, and I can never take that back. But your right there is nothing I can do now. I just hope you know I can never leave you again."

"I know, Love, it's not like you could anyway," Grandma Bella tried to lighten the mood. Grandpa Edward pouted his lower lip slipping out slightly. Grandma Bella smiled mischievously and leaned over placing a kiss at his collarbone as she slowly makes her way up his neck to where his jaw to the corner of his mouth. Then more slowly she kissed his lower lip.

She pulled away, "Feel better?"

"Yes, thank you," Grandpa Edward smiled pulling her onto his lap.

"Will you be staying with us," Grandma Esme asked Luke.

"Mom already said he could stay with us," I intercepted. I wanted him close. I saw her face fall slightly. "Of course we'll stay for dinner though. I can ask Sarah as well, but I don't know she was being difficult earlier."

"If you will," Grandma Esme asked now beaming.

"Come on Luke, let's go talk to Sarah. I don't trust you not to tell them her gift while I'm gone."

"I won't tell them," Luke sighed.

"I still need your help explaining how the family now knows she has a gift."

"Alright."

"How long until your back," Grandma Esme asked.

I made the decision to check the clock as soon as we got back.

Walking in the door with Luke, Mom, Dad, Seth, Leah and a hazy Sarah. I look up at the clock, 6:32.

I do the mental math in a flash.

"We'll be back in two hours and twenty two minutes. With an 85% chance Sarah will come. Dad, Mom, Seth, and Leah will come too." With that I pulled Luke out the door. He started to walk to the bushes. I grabbed his hand had pulled him in the direction I wanted.

"No Luke, let's walk. I want to talk."

We can talk without me being human, Luke thought.

"But then I couldn't hear your voice." We started to walk. The silence between us was haunting I hate it. I wanted to see what he would say if anything. I knew they could hear us, so I waited to say what I wanted. Once we were out of ear shot I could tell he was waiting for me. "How did you know about Sarah's gift?"

"I told you I've watched and protected you and your family your whole lives. I know most of your secrets" Luke smiled shyly. I hope for now I have one secret: I love him.

"So you knew my powers and my families without me telling you." It wasn't a question I knew; I felt like a fool.

"Yes, I did. I'm sorry for deceiving you, but like you; I wanted to hear your voice. I wanted to see you light up when you talk about your family. You see I've watched you for so long I wanted to see you up close," Luke studied my face.

I smiled, "Don't try and sweet talk me." Even though on the inside I was screaming with joy.

"It's true."

"It may be, but I'm truly not that interesting. Anyways Sarah is going to kill you."

"If I may say, you are extremely interesting. Though I don't understand she has an amazing gift. Why is she hiding it?"

"Well a few reasons: one she's afraid that because of certain aspects of it. She's afraid that if it doesn't work they will be disappointed in her."

"I assume this is the aspect I was trying to tell Rosalie."

"Yes."

"It will work I've seen it. The next reason?"

"What if they want the one thing she can't give?"

"Why would they want that? Yes Rosalie does fantasize about it but in the end would she want to leave her family."

"What if they're disappointed in her? I mean her sister has several powers and all she can do is one little thing. Don't get me wrong I think her gift is amazing but those are her worries."

"Yes you may be powerful, strong, and beautiful, but she's special in her own way, they won't be disappointed in her."

"Thank you, you're very sweet. So you already said you didn't want to say how you would be family, correct?"

Sigh. "I want to tell you, I really do. I just think it would be better if it happened naturally."

"I understand. What language were you thinking to keep me out by the way?" I was honestly curious; I want to know everything about him.

"Turkish," he shrugged. (A/N: I have nothing against Turkey or their language. It's just fun to say.)

"I don't know Turkish yet maybe you could teach me."

"Sure, what languages do you know?"

"I know English obviously, Spanish, French, Italian, German, and I'm learning Portuguese."

"That's pretty amazing."

"Thank you, will you tell me more about your life?"

"What do you want to know?"

"When were you born?"

"I wonder if it will upset you," he said staring off into space.

"I doubt it."

"I was born in the winter of 1401," he glanced at me sideways. I tried to control my expression. I wasn't shocked…okay maybe a little, but I wasn't disgusted I was sad. My fast mind had already done the math, 627. He obviously would want someone more mature. Wait! My vision he'll love me one day, that's how he'll be family.

"It's not that bad. What was your sister like?"

"Thank you. She's one of the nicest people I know, and I know a lot. I know some nicer now, but anyway she's always so trusting and kind. We were rare, because the shifter gene is rare as well and she shifted as well. So she is still alive, but in hiding. I'm the only one who knows where she is. She doesn't want anything to do with how they will either, more so than me. Maybe I should start at the beginning for all this to make sense." We were stopped by the waterfall I once found. I took him on a little detour, I wanted to talk to him longer.

"A few years after my 20th birthday I wanted to travel. I wanted to see the world, but I wanted to tell Hazel first. I went to look for her; I found her in the hut drawing, sh has always been good. I didn't know how to tell her. She saw something move so she looked up. She smiled when she saw it was me. Which faded when I didn't smile back but instead looked sad. I didn't know how to say it so I just blurted it out, I'm leaving but I'll be back in a few years. She started crying more like sobbing I went to hold her. As I was holding her she shifted into a small teacup tabby. I was shocked for a few reasons. One people never change in the same family that isn't separated by a few decades, and two girls only change every thousand years and one had changed 541 years ago. But I got over it and I knew I couldn't leave now, so I stayed. On her 17th birthday it was the last time anyone but me saw her. She too is on the run from my kind."

"Why," I was human enough to ask.

"Because of what and who she saw…and loved. She went into her vision which loosely involves you all, but somehow she ended up visiting the Quileutes. She never fully told me what she saw. She woke up gasping looking around like she was missing someone. She didn't find who she was looking for, so she turned to me. She grabbed my hand running out of the hut. We got to the forest edge and shifted into leopards; she took the lead and led me far away. When she stopped she shifted back and sunk to the floor crying; I went over to her and pulled her into my lap until she stopped crying. I told her that it would be okay that we could change it. She surprised me by saying she didn't want it changed. I said okay well why don't you tell me what happened. Then she proceeded to tell me how I was with you guys and I had found who I was looking for and she did too. That they were happy and in so much love. I saw the problem immediately our father had already promised her hand to another. I told her there was only one thing to do: run."

"So what did you do?"

"I told her to run to London and I would be there in six months. We parted ways and I went back the next day. I told them we were attacked and she was gone when I work up. Then six months later I told them I was leaving the pain was too much to bear when I felt responsible. When I found Hazel I told her how she could always find me and she could stay with me for a while but had to leave when I started to protect my family. I knew it would involve vampires and I didn't want her hurt."

"You're a great big brother you know. If I may ask, who is her love?"

"Your shape-shifting little wolf you call your best friend," he smiled.

"Seth," I all but shouted.

"Yes now let's go talk to your sister."
