Have a little faith in the girl. She's done some growing, I think.

Thank you for the review!

Congrats on declaring your major! You are a fantastic writer and I'm sure you will be successful!

Author's Response:

Thank you for the support! It is needed. :)

Congrats on the Major declaration!  If it's any consolation my dad has a PhD in Biology  and he writes a lot of proposals for environmental regulations and policies, there's not a whole lot of money to be made in that field either.  So, kudos to you for being brave.  I think it's easy to major in something you know you would be comfortable in (financial or otherwise), it takes guts to step into a world that isn't as safe but you are passionate about!

I love this story!  This is the first time I reviewed because I literaly couldn't stop in between chapters to leave you some love.  I'm so selfish.  Anyway, I can't wait for more!!!

Author's Response:

Thank you for the congratulations. It's a very exciting move, and I really hope the risk pays off. :)

Welcome to the story. It's great to hear that you're enjoying it so much, and I hope to hear more from you in the future.

So is the Stregheria Institute the Hogwarts of the Twilight world?   Alice can't see Vanessa. That's  a little unsettling.   Are the Italian witches the enemy of the Voltouri or of vampires in general? 

Edward was pretty subdued.  He and Bella need to talk.  She seems to be still in love with him and completely in love with Jacob and yet she doesn't seem to be torn at all.  Maybe Jake is just that good in bed. :)

Author's Response:

You might not be able to tell, but I'm mouthing the answers to your questions.  There's a hit and a miss.

LOL, it's not Jacob's sexual prowess that's holding her back.  She and Edward chit-chat next chapters. Alone.  If it's that she doesn't seem as torn in now as she did in this books, it's because I found Bella's internal whinning really obnoxious in the series. I'm going for a more subtle approach than SM.  Less explicit and in your face and more about subtext and things not said. Yeah, I know that sounds like a cop out, but it's the truth.

Thank you!

great stuff can't wait to see what the "couselor" has to say to Bella.  Last chapter was great too.  i don't think I reviewed it.  Sorry.

Author's Response:

I can't wait either! I'm so excited to start writing Vanessa. Woot!

Thank you so much. :)

More Bella/Jacob plz :-)

Author's Response:

I think I can manage that...

:)

First on a personal note....congrats on the decision to take Creative Writing as a Major - I really think you are making a great decision.  You are very talented - this story is strong proof!!

Now.....I can't believe I am caught up!!!  AGH!! Now I have to wait for updates...one chap at a time!  I really need to make a rule for myself to only read completed stories! 

I am still hoping for an Edward Bella romance here??  Am I crazy?  I thought for sure when Angela came up to Bella, she was going to be the other student getting the interview from Salem.....very interesting...can't wait to see where you are going with this!!

Author's Response:

Well, I want to congratulate you one making it this far without dying. ;) It really seemed like you were agony for most of this, lol.

You are not crazy. This is BELLA we're talking about. She can only try to dither on whether or not to marginalize Edward's place in her life for so long. They really need a chance to talk some more I think. I THINK that conversation will make its way into the next chapter. As long as the characters dont try revolting again.

Yay, I'm glad that my Calisle meets your standards. He's one of my favorites. I also hope that Edward's not comming off too OOC. I struggle with writing his character.

You were right about that boy in the woods being Riley. But I don't think Bella or anyone else will ever figure out his name in this story because I doubt Victoria will ever have a reason to bring it up.

Thank you so much for all of the feedback you left me on each chapter and for the congratulations on my choice of major.  I appreciate the support more than you know. :D

UGH!!!!!  I can not believe she slept with him!!!!  OK....it is out I said it.  Otherwise the chapter was great and I still love the story even though it is way too much Jake and not enough Edward so far...

The boy......is it Riley???  If yes, then she is in quite a bit of trouble.....and the handprint is completely confusing me.

MUST READ MORE!

You captured Carlisle PERFECTLY!!  Loved the interaction between the two of them and thought that the conversation in the lunchroom between Angela, Jessica and Bella was very authentic!

The visual of Edward standing in front of the bike was hilarious - it was just so Edward....another great chap!

I'm at a loss for words right now.  I loved the chapter, don't get me wrong-I suppose that I was hoping for more light to be shed on the entire situation.

Author's Response:

Then you should be looking forward to next chapter when we jump back into the supernatural happenings. We had to take a "human moment" with this one.

Thank you.

Ugh!!!!!! I can't believe you ended right there...this chapter was way too short...need more...update soon... gosh I love Jacob and Bella together...

Author's Response:

LOL, it was longer than last chapter. And most of the others as well actually. I think all of the conversations seemed to make it go by fast, though.

Thanks.

Bella was having a grand ol' time there teasing Jacob!!

But Angela was hilarious at the end, so excited to share with Bella :)

Author's Response:

Yeah, I like seeing Bella getting a chance to have some fun. Her life can be a bit of a downer at times. Lol, yes, I thought nervous/exciting Angela was amusing too.

Thank you! :)
