Insteresting chapter. I must say I'm a little dissapointed Bella didnt choose Demetri, but I still look forward to seeing how this goes.

Hmm interesting update, I'm wondering where this will go.

Lots of good foreshadowing here!

Interesting premise; intriguing prologue; good use of a title/image!

Im my mind Bella ending up with Marcus is just plain creepy. Maybe because he's ancient and she's still so young?

Great story, I love it!!  Its nice to finally see Bella standing up for herself more.  I know for me, I have a love hate relationship with Bella in SM's books.  On the one hand I love how selfless she is, which allows her to develop that relationship with Edward and part of the reason he falls in love with her in the first place.  I know this is also what allows her to be able and stand in for her family and those she loves but at the same time where is the love for herself?  After all the pain and heartache she went through I was left disappointed that she did not even get mad at Edward.  SM made it a point to illustrate that Bella has no self preservation and I think that is both physically and emotionally.  But in the end I always love a good story where the main heroine grows a back bone even if she still ends up with Edward, which is what I always hope will happen.  I like to see Edward sweat it out a bit and have Bella realize she has every right to be apart of the decisions that affect her relationship with Edward and he cant take that away!!  In my case I am perpetually fighting my feminist side with my romantic side, cant we just have both?

i started this story kind of unsure but each chapter gets better and better making it one of my favorite stories now. i love reading about marcus and his story and seeing everyone interact. very good! i hope the next chapter comes out soon.

I'm so glad that Bella overheard the Cullen's conversation.  Hopefully it has given her a lot of food for thought.  I wonder what Edward see's in Marcus's thoughts when he looks at the connection between Edward and Bella.

Great chapter.  I love that Bella felt that chemistry with Edward.  Won't Marcus sense that bond?  It must be buried deep within her, but it is still there, right? 

You are an incredible writer.  I'm sorry I came late to this story, otherwise I would have nominated you for an award.

I can't belive that you are in high school.  I'm very impressed with your talent.

Wonderful chapter.  Can't wait for the next update.  Hope things go well for the move!

Author's Response:

Lol Thank you for the review and all he lovely comments and no worries about coming late or the awards thing... there are always other awards going on and i'd just like to be nominated - i'd be happy with that but over the moon if i won lol.

Anyways the move was a disaster and I am at my aunts house using her internet because we still don't have internet at home. The next chapter should be in my hotmail in box so i'll go edit that now and post it but there may not be another chapter for a week or more. Sorry.

Anyway thanks again and i hope to here from you again.

P.S. I get the 'I can't believe your in high school' thing a lot and i rekon it's awesome. People are always so shocked when they find out and I'm blonde which makes the look on their faces even funnier because I always get put into the blonde bimbo steriotype. lol. 

Uh... Esme? Emmett? Alice? No one FORCED you to leave Bella at gunpoint. Edward didn't carry you guys off kicking and screaming. So... don't put this ALL off on him. YOU made the choice to follow him when he said, "Leave".

Like Rose said, no one fought Edward.

Ah! I have to tell you that I am absolutely in love with this story! The way that you've created Bella as an immortal is nothing short of fantastic! I honestly can't wait for the next chapter!

A million props to you!
