hmmm, if Edward is touching her....does it make her power stronger???? i love the test, they should do more

Author's Response:

Nope, so far they don't help or hinder each other's powers.  I have plans for how they'll work in tandem later, but it'll take a while to get to that point.

i hope that vision comes true.....Bella did great shrugging off Felix....hope that will continue. Is Edward gonna thaw towards her anytime soon?

Author's Response:

He'll ease up a little bit, in fact he did the tiniest bit this time around--still a jerk but not as openly hostile this time and was at least civil when explaining things to her at the end.  Baby steps.

hmmm Crankward looks like he might be softening up a bit.....Bella had every right to feel that way, right before reading that she was gonna leave, i was mentally telling her to get her bags and leave.....

Author's Response:

Yeah, it sure seems like he might be coming around a little.

I'd have been on my way out the door... I think everyone wanted her to pack her bags after that, LOL!

Thank god she listened to Edward about staying on Emmett's side of the car. Lucky her power kicked in to help brace Emmett somewhat from the impact. Even though it was quick, I loved the brief tender moment between B & E. Can't wait for more of that. Dimetri looks like he'll be a real problem

Author's Response:

Yep, could've gotten ugly if she'd have gotten too close... though not as ugly as they'd have been had she not acted so quickly.  Emmett certainly could've ended up more seriously injured.

B&E are still pretty awkward around each other, not really sure how to act around each other when they aren't being confrontational.  Should be interesting to watch this progress ;-)

welcome back! great chapter! i'm glad Bella stepped up and spoke her mind. i hope this plan of theirs works.....wow, Edward apoligized (and Rose was kinda nice at the end)

Author's Response:

Thanks so much! Sometimes it just take a new perspective to make the obvious, well.. obvious.

What was he so dazed about when he found out she was coming for Turkey day? I think he took the extra shifts walking her to class cause her kinda sorta feels 'something'.....maybe?

Author's Response:

It just caught him off guard.  He's been spending so much time with her, not to mention he can hear Alice's thoughts at least... but they managed to slip this one by him completely.  He isn't used to it.  Add that to having her meet the rest of his family...

Oh, he definitely feels something.  Now that he has let his guard down and fully trusts her, he isn't really hiding his attraction.  But, given how they started, she has no clue how to read him when he gets flirty or shows genuine interest in her life.

wow, AWESOME chapter! i was wondering if Carlisle was going to ask her for a sample of Bella's DNA to start testing it out. so they still have to be worried about this Herschel guy right? if he can screw with their security, the Volturi might be able to get to Bella if she's the only one home. and OMG Edward kissed her :D so happy about that! i'll be waiting patiently for the next chapter....lol

Author's Response:

In early planning, I had debated having him request a sample but decided not to add that in.  In my head, once he knows her a little better, he'll definitely ask and was probably already trying to figure out how long it would take before it wouldn't be an inappropriate request, LOL.

 

We won't see Herschel (who, by the way, is named after my beta's bulldog, LOL), but we'll have to wait and see how everything else plays out ;-)

 

Glad you liked the kiss! Been in my head forever!

Thanks!!

omg! damnit , it was all a trick! I hope Edward doesn't think that she left on her own and is not coming back......poor thing is now kidnapped and feeling rejected by Edward.......:(

Author's Response:

Way late on review replies over here... but a whole new kind of miscommunication for these two.  They should talk about it in chapter 15 unless the story starts taking over and leading itself in other directions like it tends to do, LOL.

omg!, thank goodness for that mind link. i didn't think they'd be able to find her. they're not gonna drug her again, are they??? i hope they can stay one step ahead of the Volturi

Author's Response:

Sorry for the delay in responding!  And yes, isn't that connection rather handy?  It was one of those details I'd come up with long before I decided whether or not to write the story so I've been waiting so long to finally share it.

Great ending! Loved how they all worked together. I'm so glad you have outtakes planned cause I don't want this to end ;)

Author's Response:

Thanks!  I have 7 outtakes written with I think three more to write?  I promised the Fandom Gives Back team through chapter 8, so expect quite a few updates!  I'm a little reluctant to see this story end too... gonna miss writing about all these powers.

Damn, that must have been some good lovin to make Edward change his mind....lol Bella will be so shocked when he stops fighting her on the subject

Author's Response:

It was fun to write, but even more fun to research!!!  (That's what the kids are calling it these days!)

Yep, Bella will be a very happy camper when Edward agrees to change her, but they are in store for some negotiations regarding the terms and conditions of the offer...

:)

omg, that was too funny! when Jacob burped and Emmett left the table, i almost lost it. so happy you updated this! :)

Author's Response:

Emmett is, as Rosalie so aptly described, a "wuss"...

I'm so glad you enjoyed it, I know you've waited a LOOOOOOOONG time for that update!  It won't be nearly as long until the next one.  I'm trying to get it posted just after the start of the new year.  (2012 - I'm committing to that!)

;)

Have a safe and happy holiday,
