I love this chapter, part of me wants to say that she is slowly starting to have a "heart attack" or something coragious to throw into that last episode.  Bella knows that its happening, but she wants to try to keep it off until at least after Charlies....I'm excited to find out what is going to happen next!

 

Sorry I haven't been in the forum :(  Been trying to write a story that could barely compare to yours!  I LOVE YOUR STORIES!! ....

 

when were you going to update cinderbella? :)

Author's Response:

Such a kind review, Lynnlin.  Thank you.  And I bet your story will be great.  If you ever want to bounce ideas off someone, pm me.  Anyway, I look forward to it and bet it will be great.

Ah, Cinderbella and my little neglected family of other stories.  Well, I want to finish this one and then start back on those.  I'm getting close to the end, and then I'll possibly write a sequel or the same story from Bella's POV--I don't know.  But I'll write it leisurely, as I started this one, so I can focus on updating everything else.  So, I can't give you a time frame.  Right now, I'm feverishly possessed by this story.  I think it's turning me into a vampire with all the late nights I'm pulling.  That's the only time I have to write, except for days like today.  Thanks for reading.

*scared* What's wrooooong? Supid Bella wanting to wait...

This story continues to be one of my favorites and so different from anything else--I love it!  Thanks!

Author's Response:

I absolutely love your reviewer name!  It's hilarious!  Emmett may have to use your name in a sentence sometime.

Thank you for the kind words and for reading, artsyfartsy. 

Can't wait to find out more.

I love all the teasing, just makes me set here and smile. I probably look like loony to my coworkers. Like I care :P

I loved how Edward thought Bella was licking her lips because of the group of school kids.

Author's Response:

Just blow raspberries at your coworkers--lol!  Thanks for reading.

Yes, the game was well played, by all parties.  LOL

I'm surprised that Bella didn't stutter a bit in calling Edward 'out' after being dazzled.

I would think that 47 seconds would be plenty for Edward to run away with Bella????  Maybe they would be seen regardless???

Author's Response:

The other vampires would have smelled them, and the three of them would have cornered Edward, even with his speed.  At least that's my thoughts.  Thanks for reading, antipyro.

Edward + pink bathrobe=hilarious. The catcalling and the embarssing pictures of Jasper were great. I can't wait to hear more of that story, lol. Loved how things moved along in this chapter....the whole explanation of the blood thing, and Bella's nonbloodlust. Her seeing the Cullens as guardian angels was sweet. And Alice explaining about the Ethan thing, wow, didn't see that one coming. The debate for the hottest guy at Forks High...I have to cast my vote for Jasper, lol. And I'm definitely intrigued about Bella's blackout and chest hurting. I have a feeling she may not get to accomplish all that she wants too before the change. It's a funny reversal of roles now that Edward wants to change her immediately and she wants a little more time. I understand why she wants more time, but the switch between their roles is cute. Can't wait for more!

Author's Response:

Thanks TJ.  Glad you liked so many things.  I've been wanting to add that tidbit about Ethan for a long time, but I couldn't make it fit and didn't want to force it.  This just seemed right.

Jasper would be my second choice for hottest guy.  Edward is number one with me, though I adore what they did with Jasper's hair in the movie.  I want to run my hands through it like I want to with Edward--lol!

Since the sex issue is already over with, the roll reversal is my substitute for their roll reversal about having sex before the wedding.  Hope that makes sense.  Thanks for reading.

Great chapter and a lovely way to put the xxx to xxx in, even though I don't mind reading something more graphic.  It was very loving and not too harsh at all.

I especially love the 'mate' sentiments that Edward refers to, it's very touching and so meaningful.

Deadly curious about the next chapter, I've really enjoyed reading your story!  Thanks!

This was a cute, low intensity chapter.  I liked it, but I'm guessing you're still not going to give up any details...I'm very curious as to why Bella passed out, if Carlisle's going to say the change needs to happen now.  And won't Renee freak out since she hasn't seen the gradual changes?  Can't wait for the next one!

Author's Response:

Thanks Mel.  Two weeks and I'll sit down and finish your Western and Blood Crystal!  I need peace and quiet with other people's stories, and having the kiddos doesn't allow for that much.

Hmmm...Renee.  You know, she might freak a little.  And then again, it has been a while since she's seen her daughter, which Bella can use to her advantage.  We'll see what happens...

Thanks for reading.

 

I like your descriptions of the nomads. Laurent is quite likable, and Victoria's whining was comical (I'm not sure if you were going for that, but her obsessive thoughts about food and James just came across as funny). I was surprised when you described James as finding her irritating, though; I always assumed that because they were mates their bond was mutual. But perhaps I'm just over-analyzing a small detail in the story. :o)

This was a really good chapter though. I was a little confused about your description of the transformation including the bones breaking and reforming; I thought they just hardened enough to be unbreakable. But I'm excited about the next chapter!

Author's Response:

Hmmm...I might go back and read about the bones part from the book.  I thought the rebroke and then hardened.  Maybe I've been reading too much fanfic.  Anyway, thanks twilover!

I liked it. He really should tell her about the whole James biting her thing though. 

It sounds like you probably have something more creative in the works with whatever that episode that Bella had in gym was all about, but I can't help but wonder why Edward doesn't just come clean with her. Afterall, Bella did finally find out about at least some of the Alice's original version, enough to know that a another vampire was going to try to take her away from Edward. Now that they have the identity of the vampire, why not 'fess up, to keep her safe, but also Bella won't be mad at Edward for withholding things from her again. Just a thought.

Anyway, I luved the last two chapters, especially Bella and Edward getting a taste of what it's going to be like when she is fully a vampire, and the slapstick comedy routines of Jasper and Emmett...lol. Thanks for posting two chapters so closely together, particulary if they aren't coming easily for you at the moment. I would never guessed by reading it; your story flows seamlessly. :)

Author's Response:

Thanks DebBee. 

In cannon with the books, Edward doesn't want Bella to worry.  He wants to tell her, but is putting it off feeling that she has enough to worry about with her change and all. 

Thanks for reading.
