Summary:

 

 

 

 

 

We all believe that Edward and Bella are meant to be together...but what if there’s more to that than meets the eye?

 

What if there are forces at work that they don’t understand? How will they cope with events that have no discernable meaning?

 

This story starts out two weeks before Bella and Edward’s wedding. But, right away, things go wrong. They struggle with mishap after mishap, all the while wondering if they’re destined to be at the center of conflict and angst.

 

All the major characters of Twilight appear. Canon couples. Lemons in various chapters. This is a more realistic view of Edward and Bella’s relationship before the wedding. He certainly wouldn’t carry her off to a desert island alone, having never even touched her. They would have experimented a bit.

 

Eventually all characters get their Happily Ever After. I just drag them through hell before we get there. No characters die before their time.

 

And I’ve adhered to canon up until the story starts—Post Eclipse. After that, it diverges from SM’s version. So...no Renesmee. No pregnancy.

 

I’ve poured my heart and soul into this story. It took me over a year to complete. I thought about it constantly. For that hard work and diligence to form, grammar and style, I’d like just one tiny thing from you, the reader.

 

I’d like a review. If you love it, if you hate it, if you’re just indifferent and will never look at it again, I’d like to hear that. It’s not a lot to ask. So...I’ll say thanks in advance for the wonderful reviews you’ll leave after you read each chapter!

Summary:

This story recognizes canon up to the battle with the newborns in Eclipse, veering into AU territory shortly thereafter. Though Riley is destroyed, Victoria escapes, causing a chain of unexpected events. (Jacob is not injured during the fight and there is no appearance by Bree or the Volturi at the end of the battle in this universe.) Chapters will alternate between Bella, Jacob, Edward, and OC's POVs. Please note that though some actions may be bit OOC, it is only to allow for further character development.

A Strange Kind of Love

The Volturi, angered by Victoria's actions, have placed a bounty on her head, attracting a mysterious tracker. Intrigued by the human with the impenetrable mind, the stranger discovers that there is more to Bella than her apparent ability to shield. What happens when situations arise that cause Bella to truly evaluate her feelings for both Edward and Jacob? How will Bella’s true abilities begin to manifest themselves and what will the Volturi have to say about the matter? Could what she discovers bring her closer to happiness or will it threaten to destroy everything?

***Warning*** This story contains adult themes including: lemons, innuendo, substance use, and graphic violence.

I so love Jake....



Author's Response:

I have a soft spot for him myself. I hope I'm doing him justice.

Date: January 06, 2010 Title: Chapter 12: Is It Really So Strange?

I like that you tied in to Bella's dreams from the books.  Stephenie never expanded on the reason for them...  I also like the idea of linking Tanya and Jake together.  It was very original.  This was a great chapter!



Author's Response:

Thank you:) I really liked the idea of pairing them. It seems like they would have a lot of fun together.

Date: January 07, 2010 Title: Chapter 15: Just Like Heaven

This was such an enjoyable chapter.  It was nice to see them both have that shared experience of intimacy and release together.  It helped them with their confidence.  Now that they have crossed that line, it will be difficult to NOT climax together....   ;o)



Author's Response:

Thank you:) There's a lot more where that came from.

Date: January 06, 2010 Title: Chapter 11: Blown a Wish

I enjoyed the fluff.  They needed to spend some quality time together.  It sounds like now that the actual sex pressure is off, Edward is eager to push his boundaries a little  more... I am looking forward to that!



Author's Response:

:) I'm all about pushing Edward's boundaries.

I love how their intimacy is progressing.  They are really getting closer and learning to trust eachother regarding how far Edward can be pushed.  Great chapter.  I am almost caught up.  THen I will have ot wait for updates with the rest of the steerage.... so sad... are you writing?????



Author's Response:

I am...I hope to have Chapter 16 finished by the weekend. Working overtime again...so it's cutting into my writing time. Thank you again for taking time to comment, I appreciate it:)

I am really intrigued and I like it a lot so far.  Alice thought he was going to hurt ber by being too intimate?  He needs to work of that.  He has a promise to fulfill on their wedding night ;o)



Author's Response:

Thank you for your interest:) I'm glad that you like it.

Edward is going to kill me. Actually, he’ll probably torture me, let me heal, and repeat process just to get the point across.-- Funniest line EVER!!

I would love for Edward to get wind of this... I love it!



Author's Response:

Thank you again:) I had "rinse and repeat" running through my head on that one;)

I seriously love this.  I think you write a wonderful Jake.  He is so endearing.  I can't wait for Edward's reactions to all of it!!



Author's Response:

Yay! I like Jake and didn't want him to come across as a total jerk.

 
Reviewer: Dulcinea21bella Signed
Date: January 04, 2010 Title: Chapter 4: Running up That Hill

I understand where he is coming from, I do, but I think he is simply setting himself up just to worry himsel some more!!!  I love it!



Author's Response:

I'm glad you stuck with me...I think this chapter put some people off a bit.

 
Reviewer: Dulcinea21bella Signed
Date: January 04, 2010 Title: Chapter 5: To Lose My Life

Ah, the plot thickens.  I am not pleased that she's been kissing Jake.  I am very much involved in this story!



Author's Response:

Don't worry...the "thing" with Jake is very temporary.

Wow.  I like him.  I am so captivated.  I should go to sleep but I can't stop reading!



Author's Response:

I'm really glad you like him. He's grown on me a lot. Chapter 16 is the next POV from him...working on that now.

I am loving this.  So, what happened?  How did she survive that?  Edward should have bitten her!!!  I can't wait to read more, although, I need to go to sleep!!



Author's Response:

Wow! You are rocking me with all these reviews. Thank you:)

You'll see...

Date: January 05, 2010 Title: Chapter 9: Beautiful Friend

I think I dreamt about this story...  This did provide some insight into what happened and how she survived as  a human.  Was it really for the best?  TIme will tell, I guess.  I am sure part of Edward is disappointed that she wasn't turned.  All of the uncertainty would be over between them now.  Great chapter!



Author's Response:

Thank you again:) It's been invading my dreams a lot lately too;)

Date: January 05, 2010 Title: Chapter 10: An End Has a Start

Hmmm, so is she slowing turning into a vampire?  I love it.  It was wise of Jake to get some distance.  I am enjoying the focus on Edward and Bella right now.



Author's Response:

Thank you again for the review:) I'm loving them!

I enjoyed Jasper's POV.  Has Alice had a vision of what Edward has been up to?  He's been wasting away in sorrow.  Shouldn't they try to find him?  Why hasn't Edward asked Alice to look for Bella since she has left?  I am eager for more!



Author's Response:

I'm happy to hear you enjoyed this chapter. I can promise you that everythnig will work out in the end.

I am so happy that he has made peace with changing her. They can never be apart again.  Excellent!!!



Author's Response:

I was over joyed that you thought this chapter was excellent so many other readers had different views of it. They did like the fact that Carlisle wouldn't change Bella. I'm glad you had no problem with it and understood.

Thanks for the Review.
