So which one is supposed to kill Charlie? James is now ash. A very good thing. Victoria and Laurent are on the run. Victoria will be back. Does she get Charlie? Like your version of why the Pack didn't become wolves when the Cullen's were living there. Made perfect sense to me. Glad the family decided to help out. Rose hasn't changed any. Still a first class b***h. So now what will they do? Talk with the wolves? Sounds like Billy is slightly more reasonable here. Which also makes perfect sense. Could never figure out why he was so hostile to the Cullen's when he knew they were no threat to the humans. A lot of SM's characters acted totally out of character from the background she gave. I like your version of why James is in Forks much better also. It actually makes sense.

Lots of new and exciting stuff happening here.

Thanks for the great story! Thoroughly enjoyed your writing and plot lines. Dare I say it made more sense than canon in a lot of ways. Very satisfying conclusion, too.

Great action! so descriptive, I could picture it all. Especially liked the fight between Bella and Victoria, with Bella almost losing her hand and it reattaching. Very cool. Also, such a great little part where Victoria was surprised by Bella's empathy.

So maybe I was wrong about Riley. He does want Bella, or at least wants to claim ownership before other men who might be interested in her. Or she them. Now Bella is getting more confused. What will happen to make them all see what is supposed to be?

Everyone's being delusional.

Having some good fun here. Still seeing signs that Riley isn't as into Bella as he says he is. Is he using her for convenience until he graduates? Bella is thoroughly confused by Edward and Alice at first. Do like Alice's plan and Carlisle's advice is very sound. And Edward is already seeing her a little differently. The third party in the woods with Edward being happy can only be Bella.

Jake knows there are vampires in the school. And guessing that's why he's thinking about staying around La Push. That the Pack has crossed the paths of the vampires while out hunting and they all plan to stay close to protect the Tribe and the town. Edward will keep being delusional about Tanya until she returns from Russia and he can hear her thoughts again. And by then betting Bella is going to be in the picture and that will not make Tanya happy at all.

Trouble in paradise for Bella and Riley. He's either really, really involved with work and study or he's cheating. Don't think they're going to be together much longer. Jake probably thinks he's in love with Bella. She may or may not now see him as an adult. Though it's guaranteed that Riley will not be happy to have him at Bella's and may use that as an excuse to end their relationship, regardless of the real reason. Didn't think Edward and Tanya would last this long. And don't think they really have. Edward is being accommodating because he doesn't want to hurt her feelings. She did give him an out when he needed it to stay away from Forks. Am thinking he might just decide to stay in Seattle. Will he enroll at UDub and run into Bella? Or will Alice or Jasper see her first?

Like this different direction in the story. Well, except I never liked Tanya and still can't fathom that Edward would want to be with her.

A new twist.

Like your way of beginning the story.

Thinking about it now, I really can't believe that Edward-canon Edward and all other incarnations-decided to stay so he could curb his desire for Bella's blood. His whole family wants him to do it, and I'm just left thinking, What the fuck?

Wonderful twist on cannon. Great read. Thank you for sharing this.

Such great writing. All the emotion and action were so vivid in my mind as I read. I liked getting a glimpse of Victoria's POV.
