I was introduced to the world we all know and love by a former of student of mine a couple of months ago. How naive was I to believe that she was just a girl in love with her boyfriend Edward Cullen. Four books, a movie, and countless fanfics later, I know exactly who Edward Cullen is. :)
[ Report This]
Summary: The story is built upon canon, going AU at the point of the battle with Victoria and the newborns. This time, the battle is not so simple, and Esme, Edward, Jacob, Leah, and Paul are killed.
This is the story of how Bella and the Cullens pick up the pieces after the terrible tragedy and find a way to live again. It's quite emotional and slow-building, and I've done my best to keep it as realistic as possible (for the Twilight world, lol) and keep everyone in character.
Here's a preview:
"Bella, everything you heard in those letters was true. You are a Cullen, no matter what. We love you, and we want you to stay."
She looked up at me, her eyes brimming with tears. "How, Carlisle? How can you want me to stay?"
I took her face between my hands and looked directly into her eyes. "Because Bella, I can't make it if you don't. I need you now. You are the only one who can understand the pain I'm in, and I yours. We all need each other. This family will fall apart if we separate now. Please, Bella, say you'll stay with us."
"But since we lost Esme and Edward, I've felt his feelings toward her - he thinks of her as a friend. A best friend, perhaps. He has loved her in that way since the battle. And she feels for him in the same way. And I've noticed, especially in the last few months, that the connection they feel for each other seems stronger somehow. When they are not together, they both feel incomplete, but together, they both feel secure. They really rely quite heavily on each other."

Nice save by Jasper with the whole "maybe grad school" thing.

Title: Chapter 1: In Which It All Goes to Hell
My imagination did not do this scene justice. thank you for posting this. It was very helpful and I now feel like I have all the facts. I think that it was incredibly brave and strong of Bella for breaking it off with Edward before they got too invested in it. As for Alice, I think your version is the meanest one of her I have yet to read. Author's Response: Yeah, she's not the nicest :)

Rachel comes across like any other girl. You could almost write Lauren and Jessica, change a few names and it would seem like it was their personal pov. I was glad to see that Bella was slowly winning her over. Author's Response: Thank you!

I definitely don't blame Bella for not wanting Renee to go too. Greece is already confusing enough (with their non letters--reading signs would be horrendous). It's also super hot and she does not need to be babysitting Renee the whole time.

Title: Chapter 2: Ready or Not
Yay, renee did good! She got them a place to saty and provided food. Even though she was a bit embarassing, I'd still go to Greece with her. It must have been so embarassing "meeting" Edward like that, well more like getting his attention. I bet he and Alice are going to be on the tour bus too.

After that initial conversation between Bella and Alice, I can't help but think that edward is going to Dartmouth too. If this story goes beyond Greece, they are so going to run into one another there.

I'm just so sad that this story is quickly coming to an end. I really wanted them to find each other in college and live happily ever after (hint hint). Author's Response: I take the hint, don't worry. I promise to update very soon. Just need to reread the next chapter.

squueeee!!! I am sooo happy! I just knew that they were going to find each other again. As for Jake, he was being a total ass! She made no promises and in my opinion, did not lead him on. Guys like Jake (in your version), have these horrible perceptions and then blame the ladies.

Thank you so much for his pov. It cleared up a lot of things. It kind of sucks for Bella because even though she cheated on him, she loved him way more than he ever loved her. I can't imagine how she felt knowing that her husband probably loved his ex-wife more than her. I am not making any excuses for Bella's behavior. It just sucks when marriages fall apart. Author's Response: Thank you for your review, while I agree that nothing excuses Bella's cheating it does suck that she apprears to have loved Carlisle more than he loved her. But her love was more of a first love than a true love.

Okay, so Raisa isn't bad...she just caused him his first real heartache.I wonder if it made him change his approach with Esme.
I was so happy about the Anton thing when it was working out, but why did Aro feel it was necessary to break Raisa's spirit? Was it because Carlise didn't fear anything else except being lonely?
That was pretty cool with the four of them holding hands, however, why was it necessary for Carlisle to hold their hands too? Was it just so that Aro could read it? B/c it seemed to have let Carlisle in on their feelings instead.
I liked how you got Carlisle released. It made total sense. If he feared nothing, what could possibly keep him there? Brilliant! Author's Response: You have the best questions --
So Aro is a controller and he wants Carlisle to be ONLY his, he touches Raisa for the sole purpose of finding her greatest weakness so he can find a way to drive her away so he can have Carlisle all to himself again.
In the communication scene Aro was just wanting to read all of their thoughts at once because he was so offended that there was something going on that he did not know about. None of them had any idea that Carlisle would be able to see the communication too. Carlisle has an affect on every gifted vampire's powers that is different than anything they have ever encountered. So it was unintentional and shows that he is more powerful than all of them...
Carlisle fears many things, but he does not fear his own destruction, and he does not fear the Volturi, which is why that was almost a "chicken" match: would they dare try to kill him? What would happen if they tried and failed, and what would that do to their position of power? In the end Aro had no choice, he had to let his favorite piece in his collection go or else risk losing EVERYTHING.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! More to come soon!

This is so crazy! What does the Volturi want with Carlisle? What is his gift? I can't imagine that they need a doctor...I am very curious to see how the whole visit to Volterra goes. Author's Response: Hmm, yes, what DO the Volturi want with Carlisle!? That question is completely connected to Carlisle's gift. See below:
Regarding Carlisle's gift I just wrote this to another reader: "EXCELLENT question about "compassion" as a gift. I will argue YES. It is considered a "spiritual gift" in many religions, not just Christianity and my story takes Carlisle's gift in that direction. His gift encompasses more than his personality (though obviously he is quite compassionate) he as a POWERFUL connection to both humans and vampires. Both Alistair and Charles have tried to describe it to Carlisle, but no one has ever seen anything like him before. Not even the Volturi... which is why they've been watching him. More on that very soon..."
No the Volturi don't need a doctor, they have been watching him and feel threatened by him because without even realizing it he has been exuding a power that no one can explain, both Alistair and Charles and Makenna felt it and tried to tell him about it, but they couldn't. More on that in the next chapter... I'll be posting it in the queue sometime today...

How interesting. I always imaginged that Carlisle willingly went to Volterra. From your pov, it seems unlikely that Carlisle would seek them out after the advie he was just given. Author's Response: No, you are correct! The reputation of the Volturi preceeds them and knowing how Carlisle feels about feeding on humans, I always felt that he would never willingly SEEK the lions den. But, he is conflicted because he is definitely curious to know more about vampires.
So, instead he is biding his time, and preparing himself. He knows eventually he will meet them, and he wants to be ready for that meeting, but you are right in the sense that Carlisle will not be forced into anything, if he goes to Volterra it must be willingly...
