You're so  funny *gigles* Yeah he'll be roaring very soon I'm sure. He's a pretty angry guy and I don't think Bella's gonna scamper off shivering in fear. Your review really made my day. I wasn't kidding when I said Edroar is a tyrant. I revised the 1st chapter 14 times! It's probably totally different from when you read it now...lol.  I'm so glad you liked it. I can't wait to write this story. Thanks for the support. It really means so much. :-)

Thanks for the review.  It really makes my day!!

Thank you for the review

Thank you:)

aww thankyou, for a frist time writer i am so blessed

Thank you for reading and reviewing His Cimmerian View.  Edward’s view is improving, and he is learning quickly that he is not able to function to his fullest at Aro’s club.  Aro’s club and Aro and some of his girls will remain a vital part of this story.  Having Edward putting on one of Bella’s newly gifted bras was such a fun thing to write about, we hope you all found it just as amusing as we did.  This story has a long way to go.  We have been asked when things will pick up between Bella and Edward.  Well we promise they will be together, but Edward is just learning to change and before he could give himself to her fully, he has to let go of a few things from the past.  There are a few more bricks that need to come down off that wall he has built.  As for Bella, her pure innocence alone is a good reason for things between them to simmer slowly into a boil.  I will tell you this, there first kiss is written already...and Lordy I needed some ice water after that one.  WOOOWHOO!  I know the weekly updates, seem like forever, but if we get things wrapped up and have the story done on our side then we will post faster.  Right now Nikky is working on 25 and I am working on 24 and we know that there will be at least 30-35 chapters.  Thanks again for the story love.  This story is dedicated to those of you who care enough to review!  With our love, and until next week.   Kasi and (Nikky)

Chapter 13 teaser...subject to changes during beta process.

I hear the beep of a horn, and know that the car is here. I grab my overcoat, and I head out for my painful evening.

“Good evening, everyone,” I say as I close the limo door.

“Hello Edward, I see you still haven’t tied your bowtie, Siobhan can tie it for you if you’d like; she’s really good at them.”

I turn to face Alice, trying not to scream at her. “No Alice, I can manage myself, thank you very much. I will tie it right before we arrive at the Autumn Ball.” I feel eyes on me, and my head turn’s to see who else is in the limo. There sits Siobhan, in a…dress? Fuck, it leaves nothing to the imagination, the dress… if that is what you call it. It’s more like a sheer piece in the front, glued to her skin. There doesn’t appear to be any cloth on the sides of her entire body at all. She cannot be possibly wearing anything under the dress. I can see from her armpit to the sole of her foot in the clear stiletto shoes she is wearing, there is nothing but skin. She looks like she should be working for Aro, what a trashy high class whore!  I am sure she thinks it’s attractive, and I am sure everyone will know she is going commando. I mean I like women to go commando, but I also like to be the only one that knows. If I wanted my date to not wear panties, I wouldn’t want every other person in the general vicinity to know too. I don’t want to share! Thank God she isn’t my date! There is another reason on the list of why I won’t date her, or any other women.

“Wow, Edward, you look really good,” Siobhan smirks at me before crossing her legs. She lets her dress fall to the side, I am sure if I was looking I would have seen her pussy. The way she was right now I, or anyone for that matter, could finger fuck her here and now for all to see. I turn my head in disgust at her behavior.

“Edward, are you going to tell us how we all look?” I look back at Alice, with a broad smile on my face. “Sorry, forgive my rudeness. Alice, Rose, Esme, you all look very beautiful.” I give them my best smile that almost says, see I can do nice.

“Siobhan, your dress is very…nice?” I make my statement sound like a question because I real don’t know what she has on. Siobhan laughs and goes to touch my arm, and I shrug away from her.  I see she’s about to speak, so I jumped in first. “And of course Charlotte, you look beautiful as always. Peter is an extremely lucky guy, and if he does not mind me stealing you for a few minutes tonight, I would like to ask you something?”

Thanks for reading and reviewing.  Each week I read the reviews for like the first 3-4 hours to see what kind of questions you all want answers to, and this time there are hardly any questions at all. 

So I thought we could touch base on some comments.  We have gotten a lot of Great chapter, sad ending, but it was needed...stuff (and it was needed).  ‘Edward had to allow the pain to flow out instead if keeping it locked inside of him.’

We have had a few diabolical people suggest that Edward would maybe recognize Sue and Charlie Swan, or Harry Clearwater.  ‘This is an interesting theory.’

A lot of you would love to lynch Sue.  ‘But first she has to make an appearance.’ 

Some of you have noted that you for see Gina as being a problem.  ‘Ummm…YEAH!’

A few have wondered if Tanya and little Edward are in fact dead and buried.  ‘In the graves in Port Angeles are in fact the bodies of Tanya Denali, and her son known to all as Edward Anthony Masen Jr.’

The comments people have made on the complexity of our characters though is what I want to touch on the most.  The fact that we have made the characters so out of character in most cases is what I am enjoying so much.  I personally love Alice in the books, I think she is WAY underplayed in the movies.  I love Alice she is one of my favorite characters, but to make her this unlikeable character is hard, yet I think it really gives so much to this storyline.  Alice will learn some very valuable lessons in this story and that old saying a leopard can’t change his spots, does not apply to Ali-cats. 

I like Rose and if I (Kasi) had to compare myself to a character from Twilight that I am most like it would be her.  I am not a royal bi*ch, but I am pretty outspoken and tend to say exactly what is on my mind, and that is how I see Rose in the books and movies.  The Rose in this story though goes above and beyond the snippy, and stuck in her ways bitchy Rose from the books or movies.  Our Rose is a downright spoiled rotten mean girl, who will never grow up because she wants to remain that rich girl who has everyone surrounding themselves in her light to better their standings.  Edward could have married the high class daughter of some billionaire tycoon, and Rose would have issue unless she bowed down to Rose. 

Jasper in this story is one of the most in character, characters we have.  Very smart and laid back, goes with the flow and yet is always there to help calm matters that need attention. 

Emmett, God I love Emmett.  He is so fun loving and wild, but he is so very smart and he can step up and show it when the time is called on him to do so.  You will be seeing a lot more of this intellectual and loving Emmett as the story progresses. 

I hope that you have enjoyed this little insight we have shared with you this week.  Feel free to join us on Facebook, where there are tons of discussions and theories shared daily.  Just search for TeamAllTwilight & AndTAT Fan Fiction and it will pop up.  Thanks everyone for making us feel so great, we are proud to bring this story to you and so happy you are enjoying it.  Thanks for reading and reviewing, Kasi (& Nikky).

Chapter 20: Snow Storms Teaser...Subject to changes during beta process.

Emmett has filed papers with the court, getting Bella temporary custody for Seth and Leah.  Angela, Ben’s wife, who is a social worker, is making case notes on Bella’s behalf.  She is also talking to each of the kids, and doing a home study to make sure that they are having all of their needs met. 

It was not an easy task to get Bella to agree to all of this, but when Emmett explained that if her stepmom came back, she could take Seth and Leah and Bella might never see them again. He also explained that because Bella was now of age, she could keep it from happening by letting us help her.

I didn’t like scaring her, but it worked.  She thinks that if her mother gets them, she would not allow her to see them anymore.  She is afraid that Sue would then leave them with someone else, and they would end up getting hurt.  She said she would rather be there for them to keep them safe, so she finally agreed to sign the proper paperwork.  We all told her there was no way that she would lose the kids. 

Angela sat her down and explained to her that with her support system, it would be in Seth and Leah’s best interest to become their legal guardian.  It took us all a while to convince her that, since she was now a legal adult, and she had been taking such great care of them, that the court would be on her side.  Carlisle, Rev. Weber, Jasper, Peter, Marcus, Samantha - who is another worker at Jasper and Peter’s office, Chas, Esme, Aro, Zafrina, and myself, were finally able to convince her.  So far, quite a few people from the church and Sunday school program have written out statements, all in Bella’s favor.  Aro and Zafrina have documented files that they have kept; all of which have been copied and sent to Emmett.  Aro has documentation of all of the work she has done over the years.  With Aro’s help, and Bella’s social security number, I have paid all of her back Social Security taxes, so she has documented earned income. Bella is also now a real employee of the college. She is no longer paid under the table. 

Because Bella has had no education, we have set up a verbal IQ test for her to take. Since she is so smart in mathematics alone, I know her scores will be quite high.  Once she can fully read, we are going to have her take the GED test and get her a diploma.  Angela said that because the kids are in school, her inability to read will not be held against her.  Angela was also quick to point out, that with the substantial support system that Bella has, DCFS would recommend that the children be placed with her at this point anyway. 

Emmett says that at this point, he is ninety-nine point nine percent certain that Bella will be granted full legal guardianship of Seth and Leah in court. Until the hearing, there is a temporary order of guardianship filed, and unless they take Bella to court, neither Sue nor Harry can come in and take the kids away from her.  The case has been booked for the second week in February, which gives us eight weeks to prepare.

Thanks again for the outstanding and wonderful reviews!  We are so excited and happy to have you all on board with us for this journey and we sure hope that you all continue to love and praise the story the way that you do.  I know that you all learned some rather interesting pieces of information in the puzzle we call His Cimmerian View.  I bet a lot of you have more questions than you are asking.  But to answer a few of the questions that don’t take away from future story line here you go.  Yes it is possible that Tanya and Sue are the one in the same, but do remember that Tanya Denali was positively identified by dental records.  Some are asking if Sue could be Edward’s long lost mother... I guess that is a thought, but the age thing would be difficult to swallow.   Sue could very well be masquerading as Bella and trying to get her hands on the money that has been left to her both from her mother’s Estate and her grandfather’s.  Wow more of you seem to be worried about who might have their hand on Edward’s shoulder than much else, so I will relive you of that stress, it is in fact Carlisle.  Between this chapter and the BPOV on EHCV we have had many question how Harry/James could have gotten into Bella’s apartment after Aro did all the security measures, and I assure you that his ability to get into the apartment will be answered, just have faith in us, and you will see.  Lots of new things will come out in the next chapter as well and unfortunately you are all going to hate us, because it will be ending in a cliffhanger as well.  In the next chapter we will get to see Edward come face to face with Harry though... insert evil laugh... but at least I am showing you the teaser from that meeting!  I am excited about the ending of the story; however we will not update any faster than we currently are.  I am working on chapter 28 and Nikky is on chapter 29.  At this rate we are going to be pushing to keep up with the schedule of posting each week.  No I am not saying we will not post, but I am saying we will at this point be sticking to the every Thursday posting.   If you haven’t yet, go check out Enduring His Cimmerian View... the Bella POV chapter is posted.  We will not be adding any chapters to EHCV, until we have the main story cracked out of HCV.  Thank you for being some of the best readers and reviewers out there and for loving this story we are sharing with you all.  Kasi (&Nikky)

Chapter 26 teaser...subject to changes during Beta process.
All of it; I mean, this mother fucker broke Seth’s arm.  I close my eyes, and when I open them again, I see nothing but him. Without even thinking about what I’m doing; I hit the fucker as hard as I can.  I just keep hitting him until I feel someone pull me back. With the rage still blinding me, I knock whoever it is off of me and hit Harry again. 

Suddenly, I feel a lot more people dragging me back. I feel a sting on my face, and I look around to see Aro shaking his head.  Garrett has his arms wrapped around my waist, Felix is holding my left arm, and Emmett is on my right; I have no clue when he got here. Standing right in front of me is Jane. 

“Jane, I don’t think you needed to slap him,” Aro says as he walks over to us.  That fucking bitch slapped me! 

“He was out of it, and it brought him back didn’t it?  Besides that, I get to do the beating up around here,” she huffs, walking away from me to bend down and look at Harry.  I look down as well, noticing that I knocked the fucker out. I can’t help but grin about it.  “Wipe that look off your face! You broke some of his ribs and his nose; that’s my job, Assward!”  Jane jumps up and walks over to her bag. She brings out some jars and sets them in a line on the desk.

“Eh...what the hell is in those jars?” Emmett asks as he gives me a look to ask if I’m alright.  I nod and the three of them release me.

Thanks again and again for reading and reviewing His Cimmerian View.  As the story comes closer to an end, it seems we have a lot of questions or comments that are geared toward answers already given in the story.  So we decided to give a little background to clear up the misconceptions and questions. 

Edward Masen: Father is dead, mother is bi-polar and left him in the care of Esme and Carlisle.  Mother is alive, but whereabouts are unknown.  Edward met ‘Tanya’ in college, they had a short affair and she left, after being caught in trying to get money from him.  Edward then shut down and treated all women as if they were not worth his time.  He refused to date or trust any women and he instead only was with a select few at Aro’s club, where he paid for sex.  Edward owns the restaurant where his parents used to take him to eat at, before his father died and his mother went off the deep end.  Edward is also one of the youngest English professors at UW. 

Bella Swan: Bella was born the child of single mother Renee Higbottom.  Renee met Charlie during one of his planned scams to get money.  Renee was very rich, as were her single father.  Charlie ended up impregnating Renee, but he was already married to Sue Clearwater.  Renee paid off Charlie and Sue to leave her and her child alone, but then subsequently died of breast cancer when Bella was three.  Renee’s father fought for custody, but grand-parents rights are not acknowledged in the state of Washington, therefore after Renee’s death the state went in search of Charlie Swan.  Once he was found Bella was placed in his and Sue’s care.  After Bella went to live with Charlie and Sue, she was treated iek a slave and was never allowed even normal things such as schooling, food, new clothes, and every other basic thing as parents we give our children without second thought.  Bella grew up starved for affection, so once she got to take care of the twins she gave all that affection she has been starving for to them.  Her love of the twins is unconditional as is their love for her.

I hope this helps answer a few questions and clears up a few things.  I’m not sure why, but we have several who think Sue is Bella’s real mother, and that is not the case at all. 

Thank you again so much for all the wonderful heartfelt reviews you all leave for us.  It is amazing to us that we have managed to instill such a deep devotion in our readers to our characters, and we are blown away by just how much emotion our readers feel for our characters.  I know that the character names belong to Stephenie Meyer, but these characters and the way they are in this story are in fact ours, she owns the names and appearance descriptions, but the attitude and demeanor and words are all ours.  Thanks, Kasi (& Nikky)

TEASER Chapter 28: Subject to changes during beta process.
I am so proud of Seth and Leah this past month has not been easy on them, but they have held their heads up high and got on with it.  There has been some name calling at school.  Now I know kids can be cruel but the things that they are saying, is coming from older mouths first.  Things no parent should be saying in front of their children.  Bella and I have addressed the school regarding the problems, but we’ve been brushed off like nothing is going on.  Mrs. Crown the principle said that people will talk.  She went on to point out that I was after all, Seth and Leah’s father, and I was shaking up with their big sister.  The way she said it, implied that Bella and I were doing something wrong.  After her rather rude little speech I called Caius and explained the whole thing to him.  To say that he was angry is putting it mildly.  He went as far as taking the principle in front of the school board, and she was put on a written warning.  Not only is her job and tenure in jeopardy, but her career as a whole is.  Since we have proof that she knowing let kids and adults harass the kids, she was warned that a lawsuit would be filed if the behavior continued.  Her biggest mistake was she was aware what the twin have been though these past five months, yet did nothing to help stop the harassment.

Caius informed me of another school that had room for more students.  It was little school that only had a little over one hundred students.  It went from kinder-garden to fifth grade and each class had mix of around fifteen children per classroom.  It was a private school, and ranked in the top ten of all schools in the state of Washington’s education program.  There was a sister school that managed the grades sixth through twelfth, also ranked in the top ten.   Both schools are quite prestigious and expensive, but cost is of no matter.  There are a few nice things the school is located close to where Esme and Carlisle live, but that also causes us transportation issues for to and from school.  Both Bella and I have talked about this and we all talked about it in family therapy.  Seth and Leah asked to just finish out this year of school where they are before deciding.  We agreed that this was the right choice for right now.

Wow the response to this chapter has been amazing, over 150 of you thus far have spoken out about chapter 22.  First let us say ... THANK YOU for reading and reviewing.  The fact alone that we have been able to instill so much emotion in our readers for the characters within this story makes us so pleased, that alone tells me the story has the back bone we wanted it to have. So, on behalf of Jess and I, THANK YOU for caring and showing us that you care.
Now we warned you that Edward would not be a favorite after this chapter, and Alice well we all already hated her.  Alice has taken a presence in the story and stronger one than we first intended, however I think her presence helps show how much Bella is growing.  Alice is still stuck in that kiddie stage, where Bella is showing that she is learning as she grows.  If you remember, Bella has made lots of mistakes and acted out too, but in this chapter she showed not only that she is growing, but that she is and can be responsible and dependable.  Many of you believe that Bella is pregnant, but she is not.
The next chapter is in Edward’s POV and we hope that you will all be able let your anger for him and his actions go by the end of it.  Edward has a lot to say and some of the things he thinks about and even discusses will give a little new light regarding his seemingly blatant disregard of Bella over Alice.  Edward never completely said anything in chapter 22, so chapter 23 is going to be his outlet chapter.
As for Esme, she has seen through Alice’s shit, and I think right now for her you will find in coming chapters she is trying to do what is right by Alice.  Gary has made Alice come back to St. Louis and work for the company, because he is trying to get her under control.  It wasn’t pre-planned for Edward to take her back to St. Louis, and you will learn more of why he did it soon. 
Well I think this answers most of your questions, if you have more and or want to chat about this more, you can find us on Facebook under two different groups:  Jess2002 FanFiction or TeamAllTwilight & AndTAT Fan Fiction.  See you all Wednesday with another chapter, Jess & Kasi~

TEASER:
“I know, Esme told me what all has been going on.”

“You talked to Es?”

“Yeah, she calls me every day.  How was Landon tonight, his mouth still sore?”

“Yeah the poor kid is cutting at least two maybe even four teeth at once.  He is very cranky, but he was all smiles earlier.  I think he may like his Uncle Edward.”

“Oh you think that do you?” Bella asks with a smile, and it is sadly the first totally genuine one I’ve seen on her face since before I left Forks.  “I think he likes his Aun ... sister Bella better.”

“Oh you do—do you?” I ask noticing how she started to say Aunt, but changed it to sister.

“Yep,” she says popping the p. 

“Well I guess he will have to like you twice as much, after all it isn’t often anyone can claim that their sister, is also their Aunt.  Keep in mind, though, that he may claim the right in the future to get two gifts from you for every holiday or event—one from his sister Bella, and one from his Aunt Bella.”

“I doubt that he will ever be that greedy and self-absorbed,” she says and her smile falls.

Thanks for reviewing! I will be updating soon. I'm glad you like the story.

Wow to say that we are blown away by the response to this is a complete understatement of what we actually do feel—shock, awe, happiness, thrill ... just to name a few of our feelings. The fact that this one-shot only garnered an honorable mention in the contest does not go anywhere near the exhilaration we both feel over the heartfelt reviews and PM's we've received telling us how much you've loved this and how you voted for it. We have tossed a few ideas back and forth and have some of the story out-lined. Trust in us to finish this, but it will most likely be at least a couple of weeks before the next chapter posts, but it will be a substantial chapter and well worth the wait. A lot of you want Tanya, Renee, Phil, and James to get their just dues. Trust in us, we are usually great at doling out punishments. When all is done and said there should be no rock left unturned in the story. We're not sure how many chapters we will add, but you will get complete resolution by the end. Thanks again for taking the time to read, review and to those of you who voted for us, thanks for that too. Nikky & Kasi~

Well so far everyone seems to be loving the story and we are so happy about that.  Not a lot of questions asked this go around, but there will probably be some more by the next chapter.  This story will be somewhere between twenty and thirty chapters when complete.  We mentioned this will post once a week on Mondays.  If for some reason Kasi can’t post Monday morning, it may post late Sunday night.  The Cullen’s are very accepting of Edward’s choices in life and his lifestyle, therefore yes the Cullen’s would be good to Bella if she were to be around them.  Thanks for reading and reviewing, we look forward to hearing more of your thoughts as the story goes.  (Nikky) & Kasi~
