i think that if he couldn't have bella anymore he would try to make the guilt eat her alive and in the end she wouldn't be with edward but alone. because hes crazy! im glad hes dead though!

Author's Response:

Yes, it's difficult to predict what a crazy person will do, lol. But I think everyone is glad that he's dead. Thanks for your review!

Dramatic update.  Tanya as the scorned vamp really met the end that she deserved and Jacob finally did something good - kill himself and save both the wolves and the Cullens from sustaining injuries.

It is good that Bella is safe now and I hope that the wolves realized their error in fighting the Cullens, as afterall, Jacob was wrong and broke the treaty hurting a human who they swore to protect.

Eager for more soon.

Author's Response:

The wolves didn't in any way agree with what Jacob did, but Sam felt that no matter what Jacob did, it wouldn't be morally right to kill him if there was another way of dealing with him (removing his shape-shifting ability and putting him on trial the human way). That was why he tried to stop Edward from killing Jacob.

Glad you're looking forward to reading more! Thanks so much for your review!

I love that Jake killed himself at the end. I didn't expect it. His level of crazy was unparralled. Is that a word? hehe Anyway, I loved it. :)

Author's Response:

I'm sooo happy to hear that! it's true. a few people have said that they couldn't believe that Jacob would kill himself, but I think the point is that people who are mentally sick do things that don't make sense! Lol.

I'm very glad you enjoyed! Thanks so much for your review! 

Great confrontation.  Soooo did not see Tanya coming!  Although I would have liked to see the story of her demise to be more graphic, it was just enough.

Thank you for clarifying Jacob's reasoning for the suicide.  While I was fairly confident this was not him being all noble to spare Bella any more pain or to see his fellow packbrothers get hurt, it's better to have the confirmation.

Soooo good.  Hopefully there can be a little lightness and levity now!  The kids have earned it.

Author's Response:

Thanks! I'm glad you felt it was enough in the end. There are quite a few people saying they would've liked to have read about when Edward killed Tanya. I did think of including it at one point, but then I thought that it would be better to leave it to the imagination of the reader :-)

Well, I'm glad that my note clarified it for you. Since I didn't write his suicide from Jacob's POV or Edward's I guess it was difficult for readers to be sure. Also, I found that because I was trying to keep the action going in this chapter, it was difficult to fully explain the reasoning behind the actions of the characters. 

Thanks again! It really means a lot to me! And, yes, I won't be throwing anymore surprises. There will be happier times and fluffy stuff to come! :-)

Finally.

Author's Response:

He he :-)

It was totally unexpected and awesome. I love it. Way to go.

Author's Response:

Aww, thank you! It means a lot! :-)

Thanks for updating! I'm so happy the fight is over!!! Yay! Can't wait for the next chapter! *hugs*

Author's Response:

Aww, thank you! I'm glad it's over too! I think the best parts of the story are still yet to come! :-)

I love the surprise reveal that Tanya was involved with Jacob and the confrontation was freakin' awesome. I am kind of disappointed that Jacob killed himself while telling Bella that he loved her. I really wanted Edward to kill him and the Pack to let him in the end. Edward killing Tanya was not as important as the one who raped and terrorized his woman. I was surprised that the Pack would fight for Jacob vs. the Cullens after what they knew he did to her. 

Author's Response:

Glad you liked it! Yes, I know some people are disappointed by that. But I felt it was the best way, not only because of the pack but there's another point that I don't think anyone has thought about. Charlie and Renee need closer as well. If Edward had killed Jacob, they would've had to get rid of all the evidence (including the body) because otherwise Edward would be charged with murder. So Charlie and Renee would never have gotten the closer in knowing that Jacob would never be able to hurt Bella again. 

The wolves didn't in any way agree with what Jacob did, but Sam felt that no matter what Jacob did, it wouldn't be morally right to kill him if there was another way of dealing with him (removing his shape-shifting ability and putting him on trial the human way). That was why he tried to stop Edward from killing Jacob.

I also just wanted to mention that after reading some reviews, I added a note on the reasoning behind why Jacob killed himself. Since I know it wasn't there when you read the chapter, I'll just give it to you here:

**********************

I certainly didn't mean for it to come across that Jacob was sacrificing himself for Bella. He killed himself for selfish reasons. He saw that he wasn't going to get what he wanted. He was fairly certain that the Cullens would beat the pack and that Edward would torture him even more than he already had. So he took the easy way out--the cowardly way out. The part where he said 'I love you' to Bella was merely to emphasize how crazy he is (though I'm sure you've probably already got that point a while back, lol). And Edward DID punish him. He suffered at Edward's hands. Maybe it didn't seem that way because I'm not someone who can write overly graphic and gory scenes, but I tried to give hints. He was injured pretty badly by Edward. 

***********************

I hope this clears up some things for you! Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts. I really appreciate it!

What to say first? How about, thank God Jacob is dead! Ifelt as clueless as Edward, not figuring that Tanya was mixed up in this. It sure was a case of everything falling into place. I always hate when things go right for the bad guys. It made me smile when Bella remembered Emmett's instructions and put them to very effective use. She is gaining strength every day, at least mentally and emotionally. She and Edward have a ways to go, but they are in a much better place than just a short time ago. The one puzzling part, for me, was where Jake got the guts to do himself in. I would not have credited him with that kind of a sense of justice. I always figured him as totally selfishand self-absorbed. Maybe I was wrong. Good luck with school and update when you can; I'll whine, but I'll wait. Oh look! I hit the wrong key! Oh well!

Author's Response:

Ha ha, yes, at least he's out of the picture now. Thanks for your comment on Bella's self defense move--I think it was a very key point! She has come a long way in a short period of time even though she and Edward do still have a ways to go.

It seems that some people misinterpreted what I was trying to get across with Jacob killing himself. Let me clarify this: He killed himself for selfish reasons. He saw that he wasn't going to get what he wanted. He was fairly certain that the Cullens would beat the pack and that Edward would torture him even more than he already had. So he took the easy way out. The cowardly way. That was how I meant for it to come across. Hopefully that makes sense to you now.

Lol, thanks for the luck! I'll need it!  

Yes, Charlie. You do bear some... responsibility isn't the right word, but it's close. Your constant emotional blackmail of Bella to try and force her to live the life you wanted only reinforced Jacob's feeling of "I have the RIGHT to Bella."

I know some reviewers have said "Jacob would NEVER do that! He would NEVER hurt Bella!" but they forgot how he treated Bella in Ec. He forced a kiss on her. He LAUGHED when she broke her hand and said that she brought it on herself. He said he would rather she was dead than with Edward.

SM has a few things to answer for, trying to make Jacob a heroic character.

Author's Response:

That's true. Charlie made a HUGE mistake pushing Jake on Bella.

I agree. The forced kiss in Eclipse really bothered me.

Wow.  Just wow.  Never saw the twist with Tanya happening.  Bitch.  Fantastically well written.  Looking forward to seeing how the aftermath plays out.  Really hope Sam and the pack don't attack Edward.  Jacob took such a cowardly way out as well.  Wonder how the Denali lot will take Tanya's betrayal and death at the hands of Edward.  Hmm ... interesting reading ahead, methinks.  I can't wait!

On a different note - good luck with finishing your experiments and the write up.  Have been there and done that - it's a stressful, horrific time, but such a relief once it's done.  It's a very good feeling.

Author's Response:

Ha ha, yeah I don't think anyone guessed it was her. Thanks so much! That means a lot. Don't worry, Sam and the pack won't be attacking Edward or the Cullens. Sam certainly didn't agree with what Jacob did. He only tried to stop Edward from killing him because he felt that since there was another way of dealing with him, it was the right thing to do. But now that Jacob killed himself, there's no need for the pack to fight with the Cullens. They DO understand why Edward did what he did. This will be touched on further in later chapters. I'm very happy that you got the point about Jacob taking the cowardly way out. It seems that quite a few people misinterpreted why he killed himself, so I added a note at the end of this chapter to explain things a bit. It wasn't there when you read the chapter but you can take a look at the endnote if you want to read it. 

Thanks for the luck! I'll definitely need it. *sigh* I know, I'll be SO happy when it's over. Lol.

It would be unlikely that they have good life further i mean after rape its not easy to get sexually active,

bella and rose have to grow more together, what will the denali do now?

What will bella do after what she saw ?

i mean it has to be a rough story!

i love it

Author's Response:

Yes, they still have a lot to work through before they can get to that point. That's why there's still lots more of the story to come! I'm very happy your enjoying. Thanks so much for your review!
