What a rush! I'm sitting here with an ice cream box, slowly succumbing to my bodys temperature, the spoon frozen only centimeters from my mouth, with ice cream on it - almost molten and dripping. Your imagination just blew me away. I must say I did not see the necessity of Charlie's/Renees/Phils grisly murder, as I am qurious of what Bella will now have for food, but her gifts - as you describe them - are almost better than her original ones. I loved the way you conveyed the depth of understanding between Bella and the Cullens. Way to go! You are hereby registered as one of my favourite fan fin writers :-)

This chapter moved me to tears. Not about Renee and Phil, which surprised me, but from Alice & what she is going through.

Wow...that's the first thing that came to mind. I love your explanation. You did a great job with this chapter!

I just wish my mind could override my body's demands!  It was a very interesting theory.  I have a little trouble with the not having to feed bit, but other than that, I can completely buy into it.  I think you have done a great job of presenting how you see things happening. 

So, now what?  Are we going to see a confrontation with the Volturi? 

Very  nice and very interesting    I cant wait to see if the other wolfs find her as non offensive as Jake    and what that would mean for the pack/Cullen relations

 

 

I loved it!!  I can't wait to see more interaction between them all and what happens the next time Bella feeds!

I totally agree with you...I thought SM should have played more towards Bellas adaption and choice to be one of them. Great chapter, love it very much. Can't wait for more.

Very beautifully written.  I love Carlisle's theory.  Lot's of <3 to this chapter!

Oh so sweet. It's a great explanation.

Thanks for posting.

I love this chapter :).... the whole story, really but I love the way you handled bella's change. I, like you, thought that stephanie was going to have bella REALLY be the cullens missing piece, since it was mentioned so often during the series. my one question is when were going to get to see bella and edwand TOGETHER, not smut, since your rating is only pg-13, but to really start to see there relationship change...perhaps a wedding?

Author's Response:

It will happen eventually - just not quite yet. Bella's focused on Victoria, almost to the point she can't really focus on anything else, so Edward knows that needs to be addressed before Bella can relax. It may seem like it, but it hasn't been long at all since she was changed - I think cause there's so many chapters it comes across like it's been a while, whereas it really hasn't. Also, Bella is very fragile right now - she's been through so much, I thought it would be kind of weird if she had woken, been informed about her mom, and then a few hours later, she's making out with Edward...awkward, right? LOL. At least that's how I thought. No worries, though - things will work out! Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!!!!  :)

Well you sold me on it.  I never thought of it this way, but it definately has possibilities and is well thought out and written.  Awesome job!!

That was so simple, you were right. But it made sense. And I loved how you took it. I also thought along the same lines as you with the books so I love that you did this :)
