Wonderfully written.  Loved the humour and turn of phrase.



Author's Response:

Thank you so much! I am very grateful that you are enjoying it and I hope to continue to hear from you as the story really starts to dig in now. ;)

It's nice to see a playful, cheeky interaction between them!



Author's Response:

I agree completely of course. There needed to be a lot more laughter in their relationship, and I wanted to change the dynamic not just between Edward and Bella, but with the whole family. :)

Much love,

A wonderful chapter.  Feel so in touch with your Bella 



Author's Response:

Thank you. This was by far the most difficult chapter for me to write, but it was necessary. I didn't agree with her method to cope with the pain, but I understand now why she did it. I fought with her about it for a while though until I realized I couldn't write it any other way.

Much love,

Wise words from Esme, she was clearly very moved by Bella's art.



Author's Response:

As an artist, even if it's landscapes and architecture, the drawing did move her deeply. Not just for the talent, but also for the emotional revelation it gave her into Bella's pain that she is still coming to terms with.

Much love,

Revenge served with a reality check for Edward.

Excellent ideas here - none of which I'd seen before. That doesn't happen very often.

Glad you've come back to this fix and republished it on here otherwise I'd have never have seen it. You've given me some hope that I may get back to my unfinished fics even though it's been a looking time.



Author's Response:

Hi there! I'm so glad you decided to give this story a chance, and trust me, it took five years for this story to get back on track. So there's always hope. :) I'm honored you felt my ideas for Bella's revenge were new and original as it is hard to find something that hasn't been done before. It seems like so much stuff out there today is a re-make of something else, which I guess this is too - my re-make of New Moon, but you know what I mean. Thank you for reading and reviewing. I hope to hear more from you soon.

Thank you for giving Bella a talent adds more to her as a character.

Author's Response:

Honestly, the talent surprised me. I wanted her to have something that the Cullens would find extraordinary, but that Bella would not really think much of because it was never something she focused on (until recently) and the drawing just seemed to be natural for her.

Will Jacob become a wolf? Ed sure gave a romantic speech there about learning to fly guess he will need an Echo
Charlie --ha ha

Author's Response:

Well, this story is supposed to follow New Moon's original as much as possible - at least that was the original plan. Then the story unfolded with a stronger Bella that fights for what she wants and there is not going to be a love triangle - regardless of what Jacob wants. There will be some more similiarities down the line to the original book, however, I think this version is more fun. ;)

Edward and Emmett the whole panty revelation was by far my favorite part lmao. Charlie seemed subdued in his anger. Another wonderful chapter.

Author's Response:

Emmett always cracks me up. Always!!!! Charlie might've seemed subdued, but he's a pretty laid back person in general and remember, Edward can heard his mind but not very well. Charlie's thoughts are heard but very faint and sometimes not complete.

Blue bloomers excellent! I noticed a change in your phrasing,tempo and language in this chapter. The conversation with Carlise and Edwards inner monologue is much more academic. You made Edward fall out of a tree..hee hee 💜 Bad boys indeed.

Author's Response:

Confession? I own a pair of those exact bloomers which is what inspired the idea. Just couldn't pass it up. As for the change in phrasing, tempo and lanugage...I truly feel that Carlisle is exceedingly academic, as is Edward, so when they have conversations together the speech is elevated a bit. Not to imply that they are dumbing it down for the other members of the family, but more that Carlisle is from a time period where the speech was always much more formal so it's natural for him to slip into that. And since Edward tries to emulate and follow Carlisle's exampe it just felt natural for him to slip into that style of speech when they're having mental conversations. I'm sure at the hospital that Carlisle has to adhere to a more modern day speech pattern, including modern day slang to blend in to his surroundings the same way they all do, but at home? Completely free to be themselves. Hope the change didn't throw you off. :)

I'm a little vindictive so I rather enjoyed Edward being told by Charlie that Bella was on a date!



Author's Response:

I'll admit that I enjoyed that part too, if for no other reason than how arrogant was he to think he could just show up and she'd be available? Rude. He'll learn though. ;)

Always loved Esme. Great talks with both Edward and Bella. :)



Author's Response:

Esme is a fav of mine, maybe because I'm not only a mother, but also a Mother Hen to so many people around me. I relate to Esme, and I think her advice to both Bella and Edward pointed out things they needed to hear, but never would've realized on their own.Thank you for the review.

Wow..so great I m worn out just reading this. I need some alcohol and chocolate ( ohh Cadbury eggs are left!🍫🍫🍷🍷) So happy she told him she loves him. Let the ass kissing and wooing begin😉

Author's Response:

It was a very angsty chapter, that's for sure. But she had to stand her ground. It was so difficult for her to not just melt into him and let eveyrthing go back to the way it was before he left, but she's been through hell and come out the other side without him there. He has a lot of work to do if he plans to keep her fractured heart. ;)

 Loved that you pointed out Edward waiting to ask Bella on a date last minute or that he hadn't taken her on a date to begin with.  Also loved Quil was there and that Bella had a great time with them.  



Author's Response:

I'm glad you like that. It always irked me that he never properly courted her or dated her. He just fell in love with her and decided no further work needed to be done once she admitted that she loved him too. How extremely annoying, not to mention it would never fly in the real world (not that sparkly vampires exist in the real world either). ;)

Just what was needed. Does Bella feel she had her issues addressed? Loved the destruction to rosaries possessions. Also scene with jasper -the hug was a sweet moment.

Author's Response:

Thank you! :) Bella feels that it's going to take time for every one to realize that even though she's human - her feelings are valid and important. It's natural for the Cullens to want to protect her, but she's showing them that even if though she's fragile compared to them...that's only physically. What's blowing their mind is that she is possibly mentally stronger than any of them. Not an easy concept for them to grasp.

Sooo funny.  I laughed my way though the beginning of the chapter with Emmett. In my head when Emmett asked what panties she had on now I saw her mooning him. Can you imagine the families reaction to that.    Glad Edward had the talk with Charlie. 



Author's Response:

Haha - I think if Bella actually mooned Emmett, Rosalie just might actually kill her. ;) It's bad enough he's fascinated with her new attitude and now her underwear. I'm thrilled you enjoyed the chapter so much and look forward to hearing more from you soon.

OMG the title for this chapter is to funny. Also kickasssedness-so brilliant.

Author's Response:

I have to give due credit to my husband for coming up with kickassedness. He used it to refer to me because he likes to tease me that I'm secretly a spy. ;) He's silly and I adore him, but I stole his word for Alice because it is so something she would say. He loves the fact that so many people have responded to "his" word so well.

Again great playlist. I have a recommendation for another fic I love with ass kicking playlist-EverClear by Chandler1200. Give it a go the evanescence tunes fit a reunion story perfectly. I really can't wait for Bella to let the Cullen's have it.

Author's Response:

I love Evanescence! I actually have one of their songs in a players to or a chapter down the road. Music evokes such emotion that it's surprising to me that more authors don't have them, or at least don't share them. ;)

Playlists are BRILLIANT they really set a mood and add to the emotions of your tale. Well done I am loving this. Alice and Jaspers joy at Bella getting pissed was great.

Author's Response:

You are the first person to mention the playlists!!!! I'm so excite you like them as they really are key to how I write each chapter. I am constantly wearing my poor ipod out listening to music and then making notes on what songs speak to me for my writing. Oddly enough, I cannot listen to the music during the actual writing. Ah but I digress. I'm so glad you're enjoying it so much. Some people don't like that Alice and Jasper are happy and amused when Bella gets angry - like it takes away from her pain, but I actually feel that in this case it means they know she's finding a way to heal on her own and fight for what she wants. Can't wait to hear more from you.

I enjoyed the underwear conversation very much

what I did miss and. Was waiting for was Edwards reaction to Charlie remembering broken Bella. It seems odd he woulnt acknowledge or react to those thoughts 

especially as you described Charlie remembering 

but lved it overall thank you 



Author's Response:

I appreciate you pointing that out, because it probably does seem a bit odd that Edward doesn't show more of a reaction - even if it was just internally. However, you have to realize that he has already been beating himself up for what's he done to Bella not just since he left, but in reality since he first met her. In his mind, he agrees with everything Charlie is feeling and doesn't blame Charlie's reaction to him at all. Also, he doesn't "hear" Charlie all that well. He gets bits and pieces, but he doesn't get the full emotional onslaught the way he would've if he could hear Charlie clearly. Still, I love your noticing that detail and commenting on it. It allows me to further explain things that sometimes make complete sense in my head, but don't necessarily always translate. ;) Look forward to hearing more from you soon.

Thanks for the updates. Glad Bellas taking it slow with Edward and she's not just consumed with the Cullen's. Laughed out loud when Edward fell out of the tree.

It seems Jacob is a friend without other complications at the moment.

He did come across as being a little smitten. And I'm assuming he is not a wolf as yet.

im glad she is standing up for herself again.

He is a friend, but is smitten. I was never a love triangle fan though, so Bella makes it pretty clear (well after it's pointed out to her that Jacob wants more than friendship) to him that nothing will happen between them. ;)  Doesn't mean he'll get along any better with Edward though.

Well a lot going on there.

Rose sure will be humbled to see Bella has a cut representing her too.

This shows the typical trust the Cullen's have in Alice and her visions. 

Thank you

 



Author's Response:

I think it will definitely shock the hell out of Rose, but I also don't think it will thaw her out right away. Bella definitely has her own plans for how to deal with Rosalie, and yes, I snickered a lot when writing out her plan and then laughed out loud when I actually to Rose's reactions. I also found your comment interesting about the typical trust the Cullens have in Alice's visions, because Rose did question her motives. Honestly, I wasn't expecting that at all as the family always just completely relies on both Alice and Edward's gifts for what they need to do as a family. So when Rose burst out with her doubt I was caught completely off guard, and yet it made perfect sense to me as well. Sorry if that all sounds a bit strange since I'm speaking about it as if I am not the one that wrote it, but the story often takes me in a completely different direction than I planned. Look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you for the review.

Well this seemed just repeat in Bella's point of view. I am a new information type of reader.



Author's Response:

It was definitely a repeat of a bit of information, but this is the only instance in which that occurs. I hope that you continue on the journey and I look forward to more feedback from you. :)

Much love,

I do hope Bella does not get hurt.

 

I hate the ref: to whore. I just hate this generation of women seems to hang on that.



Author's Response:

Hello again. I can appreciate your dislike of the whore ref. In general I do not use that term, and I would like to thank you that I actually was using it rather thoughtlessly here. I would hate to hear my daughter be so blase about a term like that. Thank you. I look forward to more of your observations.

 

Much love,

Alice shot it right at him. Good



Author's Response:

Hi there! He definitely needed a good kick in the butt from someone and Alice, in my opinion, is the most likely to get through to him...at least at that point. Thank you for reading and reviewing. I appreciate it and read and reply to every single one.

Wow!!!!!! You said hat was a monster chapter. I felt it was too short, but no that's just me, great chapter

Author's Response:

Well thank you! It was a monster chapter, but a lot of the chapters from here on are rather lengthy. All the characters just love to add their two cents. ;) Thank you for reading and reviewing. I appreciate it so much.

Bella is so much better when she's not a pushover.



Author's Response:

Hi there! I'm so glad you think so. It always bothered me that she wasn't more assertive, especially in NM. Thank you for reading and reviewing. I appreciate it so much.

OMG! Edward's going back. Love it. Update soon



Author's Response:

Hi there! Yes, only Bella could tempt Edward enough by daring him to come home. I honestly wasn't sure it would work at first, but she definitely knew exactly which buttons to push. Thank you so much for reading and reviewing. I appreciate it and read and respond to every single one.

I like this idea

edward won't be able to help himself and he'll open them all even if he resists at first

thank you 



Author's Response:

Haha - you're definitely right about that. And what Bella has in mind will definitely intrigue him even further. She's going to surprise him yet again. ;)

 I really hate Alice laughing at Bellas pain. It feelings like an indulgent parent laughing at a child. I guess I was thinking Bellas revenge would be more malicious like talking Laurent into changing her, hooking up with a witch or anything else that would cause real pain. Cause really what can Bella do as a human. She didn't even know where the Cullen's went. Which I guess caused Alice to get involved.   I'm not going to say this right but its like Alice is upset that Edward, herself and the family hurt Bella but its cute she wants to get revenge. Curious to see what you have planned. Thanks for writing. 



Author's Response:

Hi there: I completely can understand your dislike of Alice's amusement over Bella's pain, however I feel should point out that Alice truly suffered when Bella was in pain. Those voicemails wrecked her. It was only when she got glimpses of Bella's agony turning into anger that brightened her spirit. Bella is not going to go easy on  Edward or any of the Cullens, however you're correct - how much can she actually do as a human? Hopefully she will surprise you. Thank you so much for reading and taking the time to review. I appreciate it so much and hope to hear more from you soon. 

 

Much love,

OMG.  That was perfect!  Wondering how long this story will be?  Will it end when they reunite and she finally forgives him?



Author's Response:

Right now the story is 31 chapters completed, but I will admit that it's almost over at this point. I feel there is only another few chapters and an epilogue left to tell before it wraps itself up. On the bright side, however, the chapters continue to get much longer in length as more and more of the family gets involved in the story. I hope you find it a fun and entertaining journey. :) Thank you for continuing to review. I do read and respond to every single one of them and they help to inspire me to keep writing.

 

More to come soon.

Much love,

~Lisa

Well, you won't find critism from me.  If I don't like reading something I just don't.  I respect all the authors and am grateful they chose to share their talent in this manner.  I'm no author so find it hard to criticize.  I'm more likely to make suggestions.

thus far I'm really enjoying the Bella & Alice team up.  I like how you validated Bellas feelings and let her be angry with Alice and not go for the easy forgiveness.  Not sure I like Bella cutting herself but understand how, in her mind, it helps ease the pain.



Author's Response:

Alice and Bella make a fantastic team, in my opinion. ;) I'm open to all aspects of constructive criticism as I feel it will only make me a better writer. I really didn't like Bella cutting herself, but it does get explained in much more detail in later chapters, especially when Carlisle finds out.

 

As always, thank you for taking the time to review.

Much love,

~Lisa

She needed to get there to build the strength to fight back.



Author's Response:

I obviously agree, but that was seriously one of the hardest thing I have ever had to write because I absolutely did not agree with it. In the end, I had no choice. I had to go where she took me and it worked out the way it was supposed to.

Thanks for reviewing. I appreciate it so much.

Love it.  I'm with you.  I'm curious how Bella is going to track him down.

Hooray! I will admit there were a lot of surprises, even for me, in how Bella decides to deal with him and the rest of the family.
