One question...if her blood kills vampires because she is a witch, why didn't it kill Edward when he tried to save her, or even James when he first bit her? Are we not keeping within the original Twilight story? Or did I miss an explanation?

Author's Response:

Bella didn't fully become a witch until she lost her virginity. Remember how the next day Edward said she smelled differently? So her blood wasn't lethal before that night.

Hope that makes sense.

What a fast update, I'm so scatter brained I apologize a head of time for my lack of review and or focus. SO BUSY. UGH. This was a awesome surprise though, I don;t know if two weeks have passed at this point, or if you updated early? Either way I'm happy!!!! lol :)

The whole time Vanessa was like come with me I was like SCREEEWWW YOU, so you don;t think I should risk my life for people I love, but I should definitely risk my life for people I don't know? Who's being selfish now? I was like, punch her Jacob, do it NOWW. lol. Poor Jakie, Poor Eddie their damsel is in her usual distress. You're making me feel so baaaad for Edward :(

OH MAN three chapters? :) :) Can you beleive your almost done? It's bittersweet to finish such a huge project isn't it? Anyways :) I'm too excited for the next chapter to even comment any more on this one. I'm pretty sure though we're all excited for the end you could probably drag it on and we would all be content. I'm so sad for it to end! but I gotta know what's going to happen!

Author's Response:

I think it's been two weeks. I think. Maybe. I can't remember. *scratches head*

If it makes you feel any better, I think Jacob WANTED to punch her. Aw, Edward is a good guy. I think he deserves a bit of our sympathy given his crapy situation. :)

It's crazy, isn't it? I'm sad and enthusiastic at the same time about things coming to an end. I'll love to have the accomplishment under my belt, but I'll miss the story and readers terribly. Definitely bittersweet.

Till next time, girlie!

Just 3 more chapters and a epilogue?

That's kind of sad as I like your story...hope you get the action scene the way you weant it and posted soon =-) hehe

Have a nice week

Author's Response:

Yep, the end is in sight. A very bittersweet prospect. :)

The big fight scene is in the chapter after next, so hopefully I'll be able to give it plenty of attention between now and then.

Thank you!

well that stamina joke isn't gonna go down well!  nice one bella, standing her ground!!

Author's Response:

Hehe, yeah Edward gets props for that one. Jacob was asking for it. And, yes, good for Bella not taking Rosalie's crap silently.

Thank you. :)

I'm so excited! I am sorry to see the story end shortly.  It's really good and your action scene will be good, I have faith in that! Awesome chapter! Loved the 'smells like a unicorn shitted cupcakes in here,' line.

Author's Response:

Thanks for the vote of confidence on the action scene. I'm sad to see the story end as well, but it's also an exciting time I think.

Thank you!

Wow..I just found this story, but it's amazing. I'd love to know what was going on in Edward's and Jacob's heads through all of this. Oh, and will we see more of Leopard? He seem intresting :) 

Author's Response:

Well, welcome to the story! I love that I seem to get new readers with every chapter.

It's an intriguing thought, isn't it? All we get is Bella's POV, but that's really only showing a small aspect of the events taking place. Getting Jacob and Edward's stories would probably put things in quite a different light.

Oh, Leopold is definitely an interesting guy. Not very talkative, but I think that adds to his charm. But his part in Zenith is pretty minimal.

Thank you for taking the time to review!

fricki'n awesome, and thats all i'm going to say ;)

Author's Response:

Aw, thank you. That means a lot. :)

LOVED this chapter! Majesta Moniet, you have out done yourself with this one! I don't know how annoying it is to have reviewer quote your own work to you, but I have to single out a few things that I just personally adored!

" 'I really don’t want any of you getting hurt by Victoria on my behalf. But if you’re that eager to have me drained, you’re more than welcome to do it yourself now.' I spread my hands in submission."

Ha! LOL! Loved it. Nice to see Bella come into her own without having to sacrifice her humanity or her life.

Embry and Quil (oh, especially Quil): The reaction there was tickle - icous!

Leah: I continue to love what you've done with her. It's as if you took the raw material of Leah, what little we were given in the books, and allowed her to really bloom into this wickedly sarcastic and witty bitch. “It smells like a unicorn shitted cupcakes in here.” 8 D Where are you coming up with her comments? It's so dead on, I suspect that Leah is speaking to you as you write a scene and all you have to do is transcribe. ; )

And last, but not least, the whole plotline is just fabulous in a delightfully yummy way that just has me squeeling when I see an update. I have a feeling this is going to remain one of my absolute favs, period.

Did I mention that I loved it? Okay. Just making sure. ; )

Author's Response:

You have no idea what these kinds of amazing reviews do to me! I get all smiley and jittery and lacking of eloquence to properly respond. Gah!

*takes a breath*

Yes, it seem that a freaky combination of Leah's bitchiness, Jacob's lack of bull-shit, and Quil and Embry's general splendedness have contributed to Bella's character growth in a positive way. I didn't like how the backbone Bella eventually grew in the series stemmed from selfish desperation to get her way. So I decided to go about the confidence building a little differently with this story. I'm glad it seems to have worked favorably.

I've said it once (ok, well, more than once) and I'll say it again: Leah is such a pleasure to write. I don't have to work to find her voice at all (which is a nice change from Edward and Jacob who I sometimes struggle with). And she does indeed whisper her crazy lines into my ear. Not sure where she gets them.

When I began writing this story, plot was secondary to characterization and relationship development, but I've had a lot of fun building the back story (some of which wont even make it into the last few chapters here) and connecting the different elements so that things run relatively smoothly. So, it's great hearing that you're enjoying this little ride.

Thank you so much for all of your amazing comments. :D

this is an absouletely fantastic and indept story. I am hooked!! I love it all. Bravo on your superb writing talent!!

Author's Response:

Wow, thank you for the glowing review. ^_^

It's so lovely hearing that people are enjoying the story so much.

Good for Bella I'm glad she stayed. Oh go ahead and drain me rose. Classic!!! Love Jake. So I would like another Jake Bella seen and then some baby leach killing. Ps I love Leah too!!

Author's Response:

There will be a Jacob/Bella scene next chapter that should satisfied your fluff needs. You may or may not have to wait for the chapter after next for the vampire violence. Leah is glad to have your love (even if she wont admit to it herself). :)

Thank you.

 

great chapter

Author's Response:

Thanks so much. :D

Looking forward to those action scenes.

Author's Response:

Hmm. It's probably best to keep your expectations as low as humanly possible. Just to be safe. ;)

Thanks for the vote of confidence though!

I've stuck with story quite awhile, even though it often confuses the heck out of me and I wanna puke everytime I think of Bella and Jacob. But I've been holding out hoping she'd pull her head out of her a** and go back to Edward. It appears it's not happening. So thanks for all the hard work and the witch story is an interesting. But I want E&B.

Author's Response:

Well, while I think it's a shame to have stuck around this long and not really see how it ends, I respect your decision to flounce if you are unsatisfied. Thanks for reading as long as you did.
