The story is great and I love having another view of Bella- really amazing writing. However, I don't agree with the common assessment of smeyer's work in your A.N. Despite Smeyer's own comments, Bella is described in a pretty good amount of detail in the canon. She's selfless, independent, insecure, shy, loyal, likes to cook, loves to read. She's clumsy, unathletic, unreligious, a romantic, she has long brown hair, brown eyes and a slight figure. The only thing missing in the description is some made up preformed personality of intense likes, dislikes and opinions. Many teens try to assume a fully formed personality, (pretend they know it all) but the truth is most are still trying to figure out who they are. I don't think Bella is without a personality, and I don't think teens should have to pretend to be some sort of "character" to not be considered personalityless. Yes, everyone can empathize with Bella, but I think that's just because everyone has been a teen, and has been at the point in life when you are trying to figure out who you are beyond your school and your family. I don't think we are all shy, clumsy insecure brunettes who don't mind icy, hard skin in a mate : ) Anyway, thanks for giving me the opportunity to share one of my pet peeves in Twilight analysis. It comes only second to the idea that the books are anti-feminst.
Author's Response: I didn't mean to imply that Bella had no personality traits. She does. I just think that they're rather mild. She isn't a baddass, but she isn't a push over. She's intelligent, but not oustandingly so. She pretty, but not THAT pretty. She has friends, but she's not a social butterfly. She's very...middle of the road. Smeyer doesn't alienate anyone by giving her a bunch of extremes (aside from her obsession with Edward), so it's easier for all kinds of readers to slip into her shoes.
And I do find the books to be very anti-feminist. lol.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me!

Awesome ...I really didn't expect that to happen!
Author's Response: Good to know I'm keeping you on your toes!

wow! I never know what will happen with this story!
Author's Response: Yes, it's quite twisty and turny, isn't it? ;)

poor bella! and a baby!? i hope that bella does what she needs to do to make sure it's protected!
Author's Response: I think that is why Bella made the choice that she did. She had to do what was best for her child.
Thank you for reviewing!

i cried....
and there's only an epilogue left?! will there be a sequel? Please let there be sequel, i want to know what bella will do next, if she will ever achieve her goal.
Author's Response: No, there will not be a sequel. I don't have another two years in me for a fanfic, unfortunately. And I already have other, smaller projects in the works.

I can't believe how much I'm crying over the death of a fictional character! As much as it saddens me to know that he's gone, it was a rally great chapter
Author's Response: If any fictional character deserves your tears, it's Jacob. :)
Thank you.

Sequel?!?!?!??!!?
Author's Response: Unfortunately, no. That would be quite the undertaking, one that I don't have the time for as I head back to school.

That was a tear jerker chapter. Update soon. :)
Author's Response: It was indeed. I'll update as quickly as I'm able.
Thank you!

Awesome chapter....It still sucked that Jacob died...but to protect Bella and their unborn child.....was heroic.... :).. its sad to see Zenith come to a close... I wonder if you're going to do a continuation to the story to see what happens a Bella embraces and learns more about her supernatural self....
Author's Response: Yes, I thought this was a better end for Jacob than what happened to him in Breaking Dawn (which was a complete travesty IMO). His death, while terrible, was indeed heroic. And he saved the lives of people who he loved.
No, I'm afraid there will not be a continuation. I will not have the time for a project that extensive. :/
Thanks so much!

Aha! I knew it! All that belly rubbing and looks and the thought that stunned Edward. The something more to the story. I wonder how Bella's child can escape it's inheritence? Can't wait for your epilogue, even though it means the end of this wonderful story.
Author's Response: It seems a few people had their suspicions about the baby after last chapter. I'm impressed. Yes, the curse is a huge obsticle for Bella and eventually her child to overcome. Unfortunately these details will not be a part of this story.
Thank you for the continued support. :)

Sniff...sniff. I'm hoping that Jacob is in some kind of spiritual limbo and he'll be coming back soon. But ugh that broke my heart! :'(
Author's Response: Sorry for the heartbreak.:(

Thank you!

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO Jake can't die, Why not Edward!!!! Glad that Victoria Bit the Dust, Pun intended. But no Jake Dying..No!!
Author's Response: Thanks hon for going above and beyond and reviewing every chance you got. I'm sorry that this latest chapter was so devistating. It was awful what happened to Jacob. Hopefully by the end of the story you'll be feeling a little bit better about things. *fingers crossed*

My heart has not broken yet. Let's not forget about Bella possibly being the most powerful witch. Could it be that her powers include reviving the dead? Should we expect a crazier twist?
Author's Response: Well, theres only one chapter of plot left (and then the epilogue), so I wouldn't be expecting anything TOO crazy. We are at the winding down point of the story where we see some resolution to what has happened. That's not to say there wont be one or two surprised. ;)
Thank you!
