“Too bad I didn’t accomplish my mission.”        “Which mission are we talking about?”        “The one that I was created for,” I tell him, searching his eyes for judgment.        “Well, the Volturi will surely still reign, but something is bound to change. They are not quite the strongest coven in existence now, are they?” my wolf boy replies straightforwardly.(...)        “You know, I don’t know if I’m willing to believe that. Believing such a thought might weaken me. I mean, who knows what they can throw at me if I let my guard down?”        Understandable, her worry.  But, for now at least, they achieved some respite.  For now, Aro have nothing that can beat Samantha.        B-)

“Do you want to hear something delightful?”        “Of course.”        “This is just a theory though, but the elders say as long as you’re around, I won’t age a day.”(...)        “You see, they believe that the Quileutes shapeshifters sense the presence of vampires. They perceive that as danger and this triggers phasing. They will continue to be able to phase as long as that perceived danger is around. Well, since you are a ‘Cold One’ and I’m with you all the time…”        Eternity.  Cool!!        ^_^

I guess I could't hope for a better ending.  I just hope the Packs and the elders will really give Sammy a chance, that they will try to know her instead of just rejecting the "Cold One".

Thank you, Dea, for this story!  I will keep an eye open for more.  And, yes, it will be good to see Sammy and Seth again, even if they are not the main characters.  Till next!        ;)

“I’m a little scared too, Sammy. It’s okay to feel afraid. It keeps your senses alert,” Seth suddenly whispers.        “I’m more scared of what will happen if they decide to attack and I can’t protect us. Protect you.”        He frowns and says, “You shouldn’t worry that much about us. We’re a powerful pack. And you should stop underestimating your own power. They have nothing on you.”        Well said, Seth, well said.        ^_^

'“You have a new interesting addition to your little coven, I see. Can I meet her?”        “Of course. Her name is Samantha,” Carlisle says and motions me to come forward. I let go off Seth and stops beside Carlisle. I look at him and he nods. I know I have to walk alone to Aro.'        Son of a ...  I confess I was scared at this point.  Affraid they would grab Sammy or something.

'I can tell, and feel, that Jane is trying her hardest and giving me her worst dose. She pants a little when it is over, and I can hear her growl when she realizes it doesn’t work. I smile and return the favor.(...)        A loud, ear-splitting scream comes immediately from her childlike, angelic face. She falls on the ground, writhing in pain as her brother, Alec, tries to get her up.'        BWAHAHAHAHAAAAHH!!!  BIS, BIS!!!        X-D

'“Now, isn’t that something? You really are quite the creature, aren’t you, Miss Samantha?”        “I’m glad you’re impressed.”        “I am more than just impressed. But I wonder…” he glances towards a large, bulky guard I recognize as Felix and motions him to come forward.        He’s the strongest one amongst the guard when it comes to physical and brute strength. Be very careful of your moves, Samantha. I suggest you shift into a more… intimidating form.        Oh, I’m planning to, Edward, I’m planning to.'        Ooohh, this will be good!        P-)

Usually, a vampire and a Quileute Wolf are a match in raw power and speed, but the Quileutes are at some disadvantage on a one to one fight because they need to breathe and heavy injuries can kill them.  But let's see how well Felix will go against a vampire version of a Quileute.  I can't wait!        X-)

'I ended up being able to project up to three powers at the same time. For the rest of the day yesterday and since morning today, I smoothened my ability so I didn’t have to concentrate too hard or focus too long before those abilities manifested in me. Jasper and Edward were more than pleased to see such progress.'        Nice progress.  Speaking of the training, Edward and Jasper can be two very annoying brothers when they want, can't they?        X-] 

“What?” I look up at him, missing the joke.        “Nothing, it’s just… It will be fun to see.”        “What will be fun to see?”        “Jane, getting a taste of her own medicine.”        “You don’t like her, do you?”        Seth grimaces a little and says, “Not a fan of her. I saw what she did to that poor little girl. Granted, she did come to get Bella, but she didn’t exactly know what she was doing. That poor girl surrendered but Jane kept torturing her anyway. She likes her power and what it does to others.”        Bree.  Yeah, I didn't like that a bit either.  I second Seth on that.

'Seth then looks at me and suddenly kisses me long and hard and as passionately burning as ever. When we break off the kiss, my eyes widened. “What was that for?”        “For being the coolest, most awesome girlfriend anyone could ever ask for.”        I laugh at that. “You’re not so bad yourself, Wolf Boy.”        “You don’t deny it,” he pauses, his friendly brown eyes searching into my blazing crimson ones.        “Deny what?”(...)        “Deny being my… um… girlfriend,” he lowers his voice for the last word he says.(...)        “We haven’t officially said it out in the open, but… I guess I really don’t mind being one. I kind of consider myself as one.”(...)        “Let’s make it official then! Samantha Levis, will you be my girlfriend?”'        Heheh!  And she made his day.        ;)       

'When my senses are back, I see the Olympic forest that I have come to know so well within the past few weeks. I see unfamiliar footsteps, light and lithe, gliding through a familiar opening that is covered with dry leaves and fallen branches.(...) I see an intricate-looking golden brooch on someone’s chest; it had ruby adornments, symbols that resembled hawks and trees, and a large V that contained the rest of the piece. Then, I see dark cloaks, combing through the forest'        Oh, man, the coffee break is over.  It's all or nothing now!

Please, let it be all!  Let it be all!        X-{

Great story.  Seems what's coming next is the final showdown.  Thanks for sharing your talent and muse.

glad to see you back.  love the story.  keep writing.

What, for me?  Why, thank you, Dea!          ^_^

'This book belongs to Dragos Luca          “The Volturi’s reign will end.”(...)          Sogard Genomics Research Center (SGRC)          Entiat, Washington          Since 1936          Cannot contact Stefan or Vladimir. Demetri is keeping track.'          Here he is again.  Dragos!  It HAS to be the guy who gave her the book.  Especially if he knows the Romanians.  And look at that.  Sogard... Dragos backward.  He isn't just a benefactor, a client, like Doctor Thornn suggested, he is the owner of their business!  And 1936?  Another evidence he is a vamp!

'Carbon VVB – a carbon based fluid that will bond with venom-based cells. This substance will lubricate hard cells and give vampire skin cells the ability to stretch and bend. It will facilitate a subject’s shapeshifting ability.(...)           Subject 124. Samantha Levis.(...)          Subject is the descendant of Joanna Black and has a recessive shapeshifting gene.(...)          Chromosome: Altered – 24 pairs. Chromosome responsible for unalterable granite-like skin of vampires is eliminated. Subject accepts Carbon VVB as replacement of skin cells information.(...)          1.   Heat Tolerance: Subject’s skin can retain heat up to 2500 degrees Fahrenheit – virtually cannot be killed with fire.          Strength: Refined Chromosome 24 – Causing subject’s own blood to circulate in low quantity in her system instead of reduced to nonexistence. Side effect – everlasting crimson eyes.'          Samantha is a Quileute??  And a Black, to top (hello, cousin Jacob)?  Wow.  But she is mixed with non-indian, isn't she?  I mean, she didn't even know that, and no one looked to her and said:  'Hmm, you look native american.  Are you?'  I don't remember exactly how you described her, but I always thought of her as having 'pale-face' features.

The tech info is interesting too.  So, she IS newborn strong. Figures.

But that eliminated chromosome...  Does it mean her skin is frailer (not against fire, obviously) than a normal vampire, or does the Carbon VVB covers that too, somehow?

So many shifters sacrificed...  Those scientists are really monsters.  As much as Dragos for finacing this.  I bet the guys will see into that, either within or after the story.

'“Well, I will have to confirm a few things before I can tell you what I find out from this notebook. There are things that I suspect… I’ll let you know as soon as I can,” Carlisle replies cryptically.'          Cryptic indeed.  I wonder what he will make of it.

Can't argue with Dragos about the goal of ending the Volturi, but his methods are just as horrible as them.  If he will be part of the new order, no good will come out of this.

That was enlightening.  Thank you, Dea, and bring on the next!          :)

I'm surprised they did not put a tracking device into her.  Keep writing.

:D This is completely different from chapter 18 the pace is much better maybe not perfect (but then who is?) or maybe I just like it so much that I feel I just need more details.. Need to know how she feels, whats she's thinking, what she see's just everything but there has to be a balance you cant have to much detail or the story drags its feet and you cant have too little or its becomes too fast and perhaps some what confusing to read. Note.. I may not have been around from the first chapters posting however, I have read all the chapters upto date. 

I say this because.. From the beginning of the story like I mentioned in my earlier review that the story was moving along too quickly and as its come along its started to slow down which is great :) just take note and reread your chapters and ask your self if its going to slow or fast and whether it needs to be like it is in this particular part. Take this chapter for example it flowed quiet well from the begining to the end and even though it has more details in it about whats going on you still feel the sense of emergency that sammy is feeling and that is what you want . You want the audience to take your reading accept it, and identify with it you want them to feel her emotions as shes feeling them get them really engaged get them feeling like this is all happening right now and things are moving in a good relative pace for the required situation.

 

I hope in my rambling I made sence and said what I meant whish is keep up the good work but love your story and nurture it to become more amazing then it already is :)

Please note this is based only from my reading your story and being an avid reader nto a writer so its a personal opinon not gospel, nor do I think that everyone will agree with me. Despite that I feel your story so far is great and I'm loving it, however I feel like it might benifit from an editor whether someone here or a someone you know, and perhaps if some more descriptions were added for instance... Setting the scene for your important locations like what the "testing lab" looks like or even what the La push beach looks like ect. Also noting and expressing how the characters are feeling their and thinking with a bit more detail might also help the reader identify with the characters a bit more and feel imersed in the stroy as a whole. Something else that you might like to add is a bit more development to of Samanthas power/ abilitys through time. Give your self more time in between the escape and recapturing so as to fit the decription and feeling of story plot development into your story rather then rushing through

like I said I'm loving this idea and feel personaly if the above mentioned changes were made you could potentionaly write and maybe proffesionally publish this book for everyone to enjoy

Wow!  A cliffie!  Good story.  Whatever vampire walks into the control room next I hope they have a really powerful gift that Sammy will be able to get a handle on.  Yikes.  How are the Cullens going to find them?  She must have been part Indian before she was changed?  That would account for the imprint.

'On his back and being that close, I can hear his quickened heartbeat. I wonder if I can talk to him telephatically with him being a wolf and me not phasing.(...)          It’s a little faded, but I can see La Push beach in my head. I am not thinking it, but I’m guessing someone around me is.(...)          Seth, is that you? I ask in my head, wishing they could hear me.          Samantha? As Jacob runs, he looks at me for a second before returning his eyes on the road.(...)          Sammy? Did you just read Jake’s mind? Seth’s voice now echoes in my mind.          I was trying to talk to you. I didn’t know if I could, with me not phasing.          Apparently you can, Jacob says, still in disbelief.'          Cool!  Just not sure how she did that, since so far she could only connect with Seth.  Did she refine her copy of Seth?  Or just copied Jake?  Anyway, making a partial copy of their power, just the telepathy...  Versatile.  Impressive.

That aside, I'm surprised they were allowed at First Beach after all the tension of yesterday.  Are the Elders really trying?  Only time will tell, I guess. 

'“Hey, something wrong?” Seth asks.          “Nope. This day is… perfect, that’s all.”          “And that’s a problem how?”          “It’s not. I just wonder how long it will last,” I lower my voice into a whisper.          “If it’s up to me, it will last as long as you want it to last,” he replies. I smile and look away, watching the waves crashing the rocks nearer to the sea.'                    It's a little heartbreaking to see her still so insecure.  Can't blame her, though.  The impending Volturi threath, the Quileutes' rejection of her...

'You know that I love you, don’t you? I hear Seth says. I just assume he says it out loud, so I reply, “I do.”          “You do what?”          I look at him, puzzled. “I know that you love me. I can feel it, Seth. And I do too.”          “I… I didn’t say that out loud,” he tells me, his face reddened a little.'          She obviously needs practice, but she is getting better at memorizing patterns.  Like Seth said, neat!          ;)

All in all, I'm happy to see the four of them having a good time.  Till next, Dea.          :-]

'He then shifts me so that I’m under him and we start to kiss each other the only way we know how. Passionately.(...) I am enchanted, in an addicting trance, whenever he looks into my eyes. I can feel the strong feelings he has for me. I can feel the power of imprinting.'          And Leah wants them to give up that because she can't stand it?  No way!

'“Jake says that the tribe elders want to meet with Seth. Leah threw a fit last night and then they found out about Seth and him imprinting,” Bella informs me.(...)          “He’s going at it alone, and most, if not all, of the problems he is in right now is because of me. If I hadn’t come here…”          “He might not be in trouble, but he won’t be as happy as he is now,” Bella speaks up.          “Why not?”          “That’s what Jacob told me. He believes that there is only one person in the whole world that a Quileute wolf can imprint on. So if you never met, Seth would have never imprinted. Ever,” Renesmee explained.(...)          “The point is, Samantha, Seth is not better off without you.(...) I’m sure the tribe elders will listen to them. They of all people know what imprinting is,” Bella adds.'          Yes, Samantha, please don't play an "Edward" on us, ok?  And, if the Elders don't listen, this is still between the two of them.  This is what I think.          :-]

'“Besides, like Dad says, vampires can’t step in their territory. It’ll be against the law.”          “No, you’re right. Vampires aren’t allowed to be there,” I say to no one in particular.(...)          “I won’t come as a vampire,” I say before sprinting outside, quickly taking off my clothes and focus on Seth. In no time, I turn into a white, smooth-coated werewolf.(...) I look at them for a split second, bidding my silent goodbye, and start running towards the Quileute land.'          Oh, my, that was brilliant!  That girl has some guts.  I just hope the other Wolves will be good sports about the joke.  And that they keep Leah off her, because she sure wont!          X-D 

'I can now control whose power I want to replicate and when I want it to happen.(...) Yesterday, I succeeded in switching from Bella’s power to Edward’s and Jasper’s within seconds.(...)         The Cullens couldn’t understand why my eyes didn’t turn to gold like theirs, or at least darken. Up until now, they are still blazing red, the way a newborn’s are.'         Good that she's getting the hang of her power.  And I imagined that her odd eye color wouldn't fade away.  Looks like whatever they did to her made it permanent.  Makes me wonder if she have other singularities...

'As he turns sideways, I can see the yellowish light outlining his boyish features without missing anything. I am taken aback by how much I like seeing what I’m seeing.         “What?”         “Nothing, it’s just… You… I mean, whoever created you, must have put a lot of thoughts into what they were doing.”         I hear Seth chuckles. “If they put a lot of thoughts into me, they must have spent decades perfecting their concept of you.”         I laugh. What he says sounds so corny yet so delightful to hear at the same time.(...) I gaze at the water that is flowing down the mountain we climbed and realize just how strongly my feelings are towards him now.'         Awww...  Things are evolving.

'He moves in closer to me, his face is barely an inch from mine. I decide that I don’t care about the history of vampires and werewolves.(...)  Just like that first day, the feeling in me is stronger than ever. All I want is him.         So, I eliminate that remaining distance between us and touch my lips to his.(...) Before I know it, I’m burning. Burning with the desire of wanting him. Needing him. I moan slightly and Seth’s tongue explores my mouth. His hand got tangled in my hair, pulling me backwards a little to give him better access to my lips and face.'         Oh, yeah, evolving definitely!         *Geez, is it getting hot here or what?*

Sweet!         ^_^
