OMG.....really good chapter! you really know how to keep us hanging, hahaha.

In your title do you mean "those who will not listen". Deaf people cannot hear because of a phsical defect, people who don't want to hear what you are saying are not listening out of choice. It is called "selective listening".

I know, I know, picky, picky. But I think that is what you mean't!

I love this story by the way. You are a phenomenal writer and so imaginative. I love to read your tale. I am sorry I have not reviewed before, but I usually will wait with some stories til they are done to review the tale as a whole. But when I see a misnomer like the title, I just get this itch to say something.

Or maybe you did mean to say "who will not hear"! I don't know for sure, I just know what the idiom is. It is an old saying, that one.

GREAT work!

Hey there,

Thanks for the advice, but all my chapter titles are proverbs and this is actually a proverb that was written by Mathew Henry.  He was a clergyman who wrote commentaries on the Old and New Testaments.  It's taken from his commentary for Psalm lviii. So I did mean "None so deaf as those who will not hear" that is the direct quote.  :)

And do not worry about reviewing.  I am not a writer who dwells on reviews at all.  Even if they do point out mistakes.  ;)

I am happy just to know you are reading it and actually paying enough attention to question things.  Thanks again!

I'm anxious to see what else happened with Jasper and Carlisle in '06. I'm glad the rest of the group's together now though... I just keep having images of them storming into the hospital and carrying Carlisle out in a sack... so I'd love to read your much more creative version of things!

As for the present.... the confrontation with Jacob was great! I'm anti Jake, but the way you wrote the scene gave me respect for the guy. He was Bella's bestie for a time and is doing a friend justice by being so hard on the guy who left her. *sticks out tongue* still don't like him.

I love the fact that the relationships are starting to be built with Billy and Sam. Although there won't be any hair braiding, I'm glad they're not outwardly opposed to dealing more with the Cullens. Got to be a little reasonable about the fact that they wouldn't be there if not for Alice's vision, right?

Great chapter m'lady and I look forward to many more. *bows* I've been reading so much lately and not been as active in the forums as I should be, but have you discussed how long this will be?  

  

Wow, so incredible.  You've painted such a tragic, and yet believable world.  I'm almost afraid to turn on the television after reading your story, afraid I'm going to learn our world is soon to end.  How crazy!

Can't wait to see what you've got in store next!

I cant wait to read how this "family meeting" goes. It could get really  interesting. I hope you have a suprise comming in the form of Bella. She cant die that way! Its just not right!

Wow Jacob is angry. But strangely enough I kind of forgot how horrible life is now. How different things are, and how difficult it must be. And yeah, I think he must hold Edward responsible for Bella leaving town and therefore unable to be protected when the fallout happened. And I'm wondering if there's something else that they don't know about yet. Perhaps some runins with other vampires? There's an awful lot of werewolves.

The insight into events directly after the fallout is fascinating. Jasper is in so much pain and no wonder! I am amazed he is functioning now actually. Poor Alice, I loved how you painted her loss and love of Bella. I always felt that was one relationship that was too poorly developed in a lot of fics. But you made it very real and believable with just a few words. Edward stepping in as leader of the family is being done very well too. I find it impressive that he was able to do so despite his own monumental loss. Everybody lost something, though, didn't they? Carlisle lost his faith, Alice lost her gift, Esme lost her mate, I think Jasper may have lost his mind at least for now.

Thanks for the update! Have fun at Comic Con!

you should have like .. five thousand reviews considering how well this story is written, the excellance of the plot and the suspence. seriously.

Author's Response:

Awww thanks!  I think the premise of the story turns people off from reading it.  I think I need someone to write me a better summary! bahhaha!  Thanks for reading....and reviewing. ;)

Great chapter!  Very dynamic and viscerally gripping.

Reading this for the Bellies.  Amazing.  You have made me cry more than once.  And made me laugh...thank God for Emmett! The premise, initially sounded like it was going to be way too much high drama and angst...but I have to say, this is really well balanced and well written.  You have completely sucked me in.  Also, I hope that you have overcome the concern about writing action.  The scene with Victoria was ducky.  The wait for upcoming chpters is going to be unbearable, I can just tell!  Now, please don't waste your time replying to little ole me!  Post a new chapter!

Author's Response:

Hey there! 

The Bellies sure have brought around some new readers... thanks for taking a chance with this!

Emmett has so grown on me.  I never intended to write him this way, but I started researching Midnight Sun a little more and he just jumped out from the page at me. 

I have a lot more action to write so I hope I can continue to pull it off!!!

It's hard to read a WIP when the updates aren't very regular.  I hope to get back on track once TwiCon is over and the summer starts to wind down a little.

I am updatng tonight though.  Thanks again for taking a chance.  ;)

Ooooh... Victoria!  Didn't see that one coming.

Just finished reading the first 6 chapters and figured I'd stop to review real quick...

Very touching story.  My eyes got all misty a time or two even.  It's a great story so far though.  So different from the usual HEA fanfic's.  Very refreshing.  And of course, I just love post apocalyptic anything!

Author's Response:

I am a total sucker for all things apocalyptic! (Obviously.)  I hope I managed to maintain your interest.  :)  I know it's a bizarre scenario and.... what?  no Bella!!!! Some can't handle that, but they just have to be patient.  ;)  My head and computer are full of some more crazy stuff, I just have to get it out there.  *sigh*  And find the time to do it. 

I hope to get back on track with a regular postig schedule so bear with me.  Thanks again for taking a chance with this.

Awesome chapter!  I can't wait to find out what happens in the present and past!  And I'm still dying to see Bella!! :) :)  For a Twilight story without her so far,  you've done a remarkably good job keeping me interested.  So...kudos! :) 

Author's Response:

Bhahahaha!  I was sayign to another reviewer that was freaking about Bella.... that I used to freak out when people would bring her up....but I don't anymore.  I keep telling myself it's the journey not the destination.  hee hee.  There is still A LOT of story to tell.... including Jasper in the south.  ;)

thanks for sticking it out....even without Bella so far.
