NICE work! So many twists and turns and new revelations...you are truly a master!

Author's Response:

Thank you so much for your awesome review.  I really do appreciate it.  I'm so glad you liked this chapter.  It was a lot of fun to write.  I'm sure you're going to enjoy the next chapter too.  It's going to take me a lot longer to post than this last one, but I cna promise that it'll be worth it.  Anyway, thanks for always leaving such kind words. :)

Erin

well took me two days but ihave read the whole story and its wonderful.

Author's Response:

Thank you for reviewing.  It's always nice to hear from new people.  I hope to hear more from you on future updates.  Thanks again.

Erin

I've really been enjoying this...I love how you've addressed all theplot holes of hte original...(or, perhaps inconsistencies?)  And how The Voluturi are really an issue. Worried about Leah now; but i really think she'll choose Jack...

Author's Response:

Thank you so much for your review.  Yeah, aside from making B/J better and even more likable people, I wanted to make the Volturi a real threat.  Granted, it's been a long time in coming.  But, I always knew that the moment the Volturi showed up...this story would be winding down.  I guess I just didn't want to get to that point.  Anyway, I can't say what Leah will and will not do.  But, I can guarantee that you'll find out in the next chapter.  I've been writing a lot...of course that means a lot of revisions, so I can't promise when you'll get the next chapter.  But, when you do get it, it'll be a big one.  Thanks again.

Erin

Omg! i love this story.

Author's Response:

Thank you for the review.  I'm so glad you're enjoying it. :)

MMMmmm, yes, weddings are always momentous occasions - this one seems to be particularly rife with pheromones!

Poor Jack, he seemed like such a nice fella - hope he isn't too crushed...

Nice to see Bella's progress in life; instead of being "all better" in a short period of time *tra la*, she's getting into the journey that life is and changing and developing as she goes -- the bit with Charlie was particularly sweet.

This looming war with the Volturi certainly is ominous...<><3

Author's Response:

Hi Carmen!

So, I wanted to cover the wedding, w/out getting into all the mushy details.  After all, my story isn't about Sam/Emily.  So, I'm glad you enjoyed the "events" I did focus on. ;)

I'm glad you're enjoying Bella's journey.  I've really tried to show that she's growing as a person.  I want to be able to see a real difference in her from the first chapter to now...and so far, i think I've accomplished that.

Anyway, I've made a lot of progress on the next chapter.  I can't wait for you to read it.

Thanks, as always.

Erin

 

OH NOOOOO! Poor Jack, so did not see that one coming. He is the nicest guy. just like you said, he's just like Jacob, whcih is probably why I like him so much.

GRRRRRR, Cliffies *shakes fist* You'll be the death of me.

Jacob, as always, has lived up to and surpassed my expectations. I do really hope we get to see the much anticipated union next chapter, its not just Bella who gets all hot and fluster you know.

Thanks for another awesome chapter and such a speedy update. Your a legend!

Talk to you soon

Louise

P.S favourite quote, 'Cake? Get out of my way women' Hilarious! Jacob's all class, which is why I love him.

Author's Response:

Hi Louise!

Thank you for getting past being left w/another cliffie and leaving me a review. ;)  I know I torture you...I'm just glad that you seem to like it.  It's nice to know that I still have some surprises up my sleeve and that you didn't see the whole Leah thing coming.  I love Jack too.  I can't really same much on the subject other than you'll find out what happens to Leah and to Jack in the next chapter, guaranteed.  Oh, and I'm sorry for leaving you all hot and flustered along with Bella.  For some reason I was just really inspired to torture in this one.  The cake line just seemed like something Jacob would say, doesn't it?

Anyway, thanks as always.  I'll talk to you soon.

Erin

Ahhhh, man!!! Poor Leah!  That is such a bummer for Jack, he's the bomb!  I was hoping to end with a little Jacob lovin-- that's all right though, I'm sure you will get to it in good time.  Another killer, long ass chapter covering so much ground.  I love it!!!!  I was chewing my nails off every time Bella went anywhere alone for fear the Volturi would be jumping out from around the corner.  Yikes!!!!!  Until next time and as always THANK YOU for sharing.

Author's Response:

Thank you, as always, for leaving such a wonderful review.  I'm so glad that my little side character Jack has received so much love.  I love him too.  Sorry for the lack of Jacob lovin in the chapter...I may be able to rectify that in the next one.  We'll see. ;)

I'm glad the chapter was suspenseful for you too.  I didn't even realize that my readers might feel that way whenever B was out on her own.  I guess I underestimated how dire I made the situation w/the Volturi.  Anyway, I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

I'm hard at work on the next chapter.  I can't promise another 2 week turn around...but I will try to get it out soon.  Thanks again.

Erin

OK, I was enjoying the interaction with Billy - always a fave - and sighing with satisfaction over B's insights into her relationship with Eddy-boy, panting (and snickering--lordy, that was funny!) over the post-dance class scene *swallows hard*, when I tho't, "Bella's too damn happy & grateful, what's that wretch Erin going to torure her with now?" HA!

Way to ratchet up the anxiety, chica! Sure is fun tho'...another good one! :D

(You understand that I say 'wretch' in the nicest possible way, right?) ((hugs)) Carmen <><3

Author's Response:

Hi Carmen!

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you.  Thank you so much for your review.  I'm glad you liked this chapter.  I love Billy...and I wish he had more action in the actual books.  That "cramp" scene has gotten quite a lot of attention. ;)  Apparently a lot of people can relate.

Of course, if things are going well, you know I have to torture my characters.  I love them so much more when they're miserable.  I'm not sure what that says about me, but, well there it is.

Don't worry...I don't mind being called a wretch by you!

Thanks again,

Erin

Heck yeah I can hear eye of the tiger now!! Love Jake ans Bella happy. Edmis still the same tool as always! Thank you so much for writing. I love this story!!!!

Author's Response:

Thank you for your review.  I'm so glad you're loving this story.  I've already written 19 pages of the next chapter.  With any luck, I'll be updating next weekend.  Don't hold me to that, you never know what could happen to prevent that update.  Anyway, thanks again.

Erin

Great can't wait to read it Erin!!

Author's Response:

:)

This chapter is why I love you! You are the best writer out there, no doubt...and this story could continue forever if I had my say!

Author's Response:

Wow, your review just made my day!  Thank you so much for saying that.  It really means a lot to me.  I'm hoping that you won't have to wait too long for the next udpate.  I'm working my butt off on it already...and so far, I'm liking what I'm seeing.  Hope to talk to you soon.

Erin

Holly Moley!!!!  Went from love, fun and frolic with cramped muscles to acid, bile creeping up the back of your throat Volturi.  Nice job.  Sounds like Jacob has a plan and I can't wait to hear it.  I loved the long chapter, well worth waiting for.  Tanya that bad jilted girl--  is she going to tattle?  BTW, I know I've told you, but I LOVE your Jacob.  He's like the perfect mate.  Even his short comings are adorable.

Author's Response:

Thank you for your review.  It's so nice hearing from you.  I'm glad you liked the ups/downs of this chapter.  BTW, I think your love for My Jacob is probably the biggest compliment I can get.  So, thank you, thank you, thank you.  Hopefully we'll get another chapter update soon!  Keep your fingers crossed for me!
