Great update! Love Jake and the pack in Italy! Can't wait to see what happens next. I adore BellaFlan! She's the cat's meow. ;)

Thanks! 8D I thought about having a bit of a tussle, but it wouldn't mesh with what I have planned for later. xD The next chapter is almost done and should be up very soon! Thanks for reading and rating, and yes, BellaFlan definitely is. ;) She's great!

Aro really is crazy and I think Ren has some issues too lol! I hope the pack hurries up to rescue her before its too late!

This is a really great story.  I always thought it would be interesting to see how Jacob/Renesmee's relationship developed and I love that you redefined history a little bit to cut out the man/baby imprint.  I also think you capture Jacob's attitude very well.

Bella was starting to really grate my nerves by Breaking Dawn.  I always felt sorry for Jacob, so I loved seeing the tables finally turned on her.   I hope he'll be able to shed his bitterness by the end of this story (while keeping the attitude, of course).  I love the whole pack, so I was happy to see Leah and Seth going to Italy to join the fight.  Sam showing up made me wonder - I would have though Quil and Embry would have gone instead.  I guess Sam/Jacob have some thing to settle, though.

I love your writing style.  I haven't read much fan fiction yet, but I am also very interested in finding a great story about Alice and Jasper's past together (hint!).  I think they both have a lot of baggage that would make for a great story.  I'm marking you as a favorite author so I can look out for any other stories you post.

Thank you very much for your amazing review and rating! I really appreciate you taking the time to tell me exactly what you think of the fic. =) And for fanning my ego with your lovely, lovely compliments. I decided to make Sam go for a couple of reasons. I imagine Leah bullied him into it, and he's still anxious about Jake being alpha, and we wants to make sure things go smoothly. Buuut, that's a story for later. ;)

I might pick up your challenge for Alice and Jasper. I've noticed pretty much all of my work centers Jake these days, and I've been itching to break out and test a few other characters, so I will put the pair on my list, and I will see if I can come up with something worthy of posting. =) Actually, if you want to send me a PM or email with the request, I will bookmark it to keep it fresh on my mind.

Thanks again!

omg you got right into aro's head didn't you, this maybe a short chapter but it packed a really big punch for me, i loved it and to think he wants jacob as well, but i bet he doesn't get him if you have any say in it lol, yay i have finally caught up phew.

Author's Response:

I'm glad to see you back! ;) Thanks for reviewing all of the chapters, and I'm glad that you liked it. And, well, I can't tell you if he does or not, but you know it'd be pretty hard for me to let Jake go. xD Thanks for reading and reviewing, and for the awesome rating! ;)

omg it was nice to read a bella pov, i can't believe that she thought jacob had come back for her using ren as an excuse, i still find myself feeling sorry for jacob, to have kissed her and not felt anything is bad enough, but to have her respond the way she did omg, it left me feeling what would have the conversation been like between them if edward had not called to her at that moment, oh another great chapter.

I didn't think I'd like this chapter. I'll be honest. But, I found myself enjoying it. I kinda like Aro. He's entertaining.

I remember reading movie reviews for New Moon and critics said Aro was "campy". Well, Aro is campy. He's slimy and sweet and cunning. You did this perfectly. I'd say Renesmee is pretty much outmatched. I hope she's got a better plan.

Like you said, Aro's seen this act before. Good work! I totally didn't see Aro's want for Jacob.

Author's Response:

I'm glad that Aro went over well for you, and that he, in general, seems to have been accepted in the other reviews I've gotten. I'll admit, I was a little bit worried about it, especially since I felt like I really had to go a little overboard with him, but I'm glad that he's been accepted! =) Thanks for reading and revieiwng! I hope you continue to enjoy!

Cant wait for the next chapter

OMG Aro wants Jacob???!!! He's using Ren to get at Jake, I can't believe it!  But how in the world would he know that Jake would imprint on Ren?  How did he even know that Ren would run to Jake?  This is so ...so...I just can't wait to see where you take this story from here. (Am I getting this correct?)

Please update soon, I'm so into this story!

Dixie

P.S. Thanks for the Jake story link I'm on my way to read it as soon as I post this review!

Author's Response:

Well, yes and no. He wants Jake, but he wants Renesmee too. They've added themselves to his list of desired collectibles, because they're both unique, and they're both connected. I'd like to answer that by saying that Aro has his sources xD but he's guessed most of their relationship by what Liam has told him of his encounter with them. He's a crafty fellow with all sorts of tricks up his sleeves. :3

The next chapter was submitted almost directly after I got the acceptance for this one, so, according to how busy my beta is, it should be up relatively soon! Thanks for reading and rating as always! =)

And you've got to let me know what you think of my other fic once you've read it too! ;)

Oh my word - is Ren looking for a way out via suicide? I hope not and Jake better hurry up and be re-united with his love!!! Can't wait for next chapter!

Oh NO! So NEw Moonish but I love it that's my favorite of the series. Can't wait for another post!

Terrific chapter! Can't wait to see the werewolf/Volturi confrontation! Thanks for updating!

awesome
