This was one of the BEST fanfic's I have ever read. I cannot believe I have not submitted a review to this incredible piece of ficton. Kudos to you all who participated in this. SM owes you money, and I suggest you find a way to collect it.  I read this about 11 months ago, and cannot believe I was remiss and didn't leave a review.

This is a must read, you will not be sorry. If you are like me, you would not be able to go to sleep until this has been completed. It really gives you gr8 insight into the coming of age of cullen as we seen them in forks. Before you read any other fanfic, READ THIS FIRST!.

Thank you very much for the glowing review. It really made me smile. I'm very gratified that my story has made such a positive impression on you. :)

Great writing, really enjoyed the stories. Ties in very well with the written history and  interesting to read it from the perspective of the different characters.

I like how it starts to explain why the vampire Alice cant remember her childhood or human life 

its good

Author's Response:

Thanks :)

Thank you for a wonderful read and a fresh new perspective. Your reverence for SM's world was really appreciated and your characters Cynthia and Alaric, fit the bill like a pair of beautifully made gloves. Your creativity brought a depth to Alice's background that filled in all the chinks & cracks with understanding and sensitivity. I really, truly enjoyed reading your story!!

Author's Response:

Thank you so much for the lovely review! I really appreciate such heartfelt and intelligent praise. I'm also glad that you enjoyed my original charaters as well as the familiar ones.

I would be interested in the outtake :)

It was nice having a look at Twilight from Alice's POV- it made me remember many of the things I love about that story.

Author's Response:

Great. I'll probably start writing the outtake soon.

This section of Twilight from Alice's POV was REALLY hard to get right. There are so many little details that just didn't seem to want to make sense. Like, why did she say the room with the VCR was too dark to see? Vampires can see in the dark! And if James was watching a home movie, wouldn't she have seen that it was a video of Bella and her mom? And of course those phone calls. Sometimes she would talk too fast for Bella to her, sometimes not. What did that mean? It took forever to put together a scenario that made any kind of sense. So I'm glad you liked how it turned out. :)

oh! please update this fic! you can't stop with Alaric dying; there must be a happy ending to this lovely story , after all that's happened

Author's Response:

The next chapter has been submitted. I'm sorry it took so long. I hope to get the epilogue out soon, too. I'm glad you like the story so much. Thank you. :)

will you be continueing this story? I am so enjoying it - your writing style is fantastic

Author's Response:

I really do want to finish up this story. There is one more chapter in the works. It's the chapter in which Bella first attends Forks High School. I'm only about halfway done with it, but I've been so caught up in other things that it was put on hold for a while. I think I will be able to finish it soon, though.

:-O I miss admit I've not had time to read this lately so I've read around 20 chapters in the past few hours and OMG I've loved them!! so much so I've been too eager to get on to review; this is an amazing story and I'm OUTRAGED that there is only one more chapter; it's no fair!! Will you be doing a sequel where Alice goes through Twilight etc?? please say yes!! I'm enjoyed ur writing and story IMMENSELY!! <3 keep up the work!!!!

Thanks for the great review! There is still one chapter yet to be posted. I hope that appeases you somewhat. :) This story was a lot of fun to write because I was so curious to know what Alice had been up to before Bella came into the picture. I might write Twilight from Alice's POV sometime. But I'm not sure when or if that will happen for sure. The last chapter should be completed in a few weeks. The story hasn't been updated in a long while because we've been super busy and it's taken a while to get the creative juices flowing again.

Yes, I agree it is probably #2, but for the purposes of fanfiction, I've decided to go with it's #1, but what is special about the wolves is that they are really hybrid shapeshifters, not fulblood. It makes sense, 'cause she draws so many comparison's between Nessie and Jacob. So Alice can see humans, vamps, people of the moonl and fulblood shapeshifters (maybe because they are all sister taxa or something), but not any hybrids combinations.
I think stuff like the hair and the horrid destription of chromosomes is just because she does not have more than a precursorary understanding of biology. If we taught our high school kids more science, we wouldn't have such blatant errors in our vampire fictions!
okay, I'm done ranting, except to say that if fullbloods have 2 extra pairs, then hybrids donnot have 1 extra. They have 2 extra unpaired.

Btw, how is the next chapter going? I'm going to be really sad when you wrap this up. Have you considered writing more Alice and Jasper stuff? Maybe they could have another adventure

Author's Response:

I think that her foresight could easily be tested to see the reason. Could she see the future for an animal, or an inanimate object? If not, then perhaps she really can't see things she hasn't experienced.

The next chapter is coming along. Though a little bit slowly. Real life is pretty busy right now. I've got birthday paries to plan and a big family vacation to get ready for, too. So I don't have much opportunity to write.

On the bright side, this "last" chapter (or so I thought it would be) isn't working well as just one chapter. I will probably have to deviate from the dual timeline to finish up the story from vampire Alice's POV in several more chapters. I hope that doesn't bother anyone. ;-)

What do you mean - if this was a real novel? It's very good and I can't wait for the rest! Do you not consider yourself a "real" writer? You are, you know - an I think a very good one. :) Thank you very much for writing this.

Author's Response:

lol, thank you. :) I do consider myself an amateur writer. Perhaps someday I'll be a professional. And by "real" I mean if it were a published paperback sitting in your lap... so it would actually have pages. You know? ;-)

You're very welcome for the story. As stated in the story notes I wrote it mostly for my own enjoyment. But it is surprisingly satisfying to read how much all of you are enjoying it, too! So thank you for the response!

God i'm crying becasue he died and i love your story and i won't want it to end. I really cried because he died. Stupid James, though Alice belongs with Jasper but still, it's sad that she doesn't remember him. Maybe she can start remembering one day?

Author's Response:

I'm sorry you're so sad. But in a way it makes me happy. Because that means the story really touches you. And only really good stories can effect people emotionally like that. So thank you for the compliment! We'll see what happens in the next chapter(s?) if Alice will ever be able to remember Alaric or not.

Thank you
