Cant wait to see what happens next! More soon please!!! LOVE IT!!!
Date: 28 Jan 2014 11:33 PM Title: Chapter 34
What a lovely chapter, I just love Charlie, always have! He gave Bella the same answer most of us would have, I think. He's going to wring every drop of happiness from this gift he's been given, but won't hurt Renee, even to be with his beloved daughter forever! I too wonder what he is going to say to Edward? Happy 2014 to you as well!
Date: 28 Jan 2014 11:14 PM Title: Chapter 33
I know Charlie only got to see Bella because he's dying, but still I'm so glad they were able to reunite. I'm even happier that he got past his fears and doubts and prejudices and blessed their union!
Date: 28 Jan 2014 10:50 PM Title: Chapter 32
It was so romantic for them to go to their lake, where they made so many happy memories! I'm happy that Edward finally relented about Bella seeing her father before he dies!
Date: 28 Jan 2014 1:41 PM Title: Chapter 31
I can tell you are going to let her see her father one more time before he dies! Good for you!
Date: 28 Jan 2014 1:31 PM Title: Chapter 30
I vote for neither of them changing their thinking about feeding from humans. Hope they can find a way to live with the other's choices!
Date: 28 Jan 2014 1:17 PM Title: Chapter 29
How wonderful that Bella can direct her thoughts to Edward, if they are addressing him! These two don't have anything come easy to them, I must say!
Date: 28 Jan 2014 1:00 PM Title: Chapter 28
Despite not yet telling Bella about his mindreading ability, he's pretty much told her everything else. Now if they can just find a way back to each other, it would make it all worth while!
Date: 28 Jan 2014 12:44 PM Title: Chapter 27
This is agony! They love each other so much and still are hurting themselves with this battling back and forth.Please let them stop and start healing!
Date: 28 Jan 2014 12:29 PM Title: Chapter 26
There's nothing in this world to hurt you to the bone like someone you love! They know exactly where to shove the knife to cause the most pain! Shame on you Bella, for having so little faith in Edward's love for you!
Date: 28 Jan 2014 12:15 PM Title: Chapter 25
At long last, they are together and I'm so glad for them both! God knows they have suffered so much to find each other after all these years!
Date: 28 Jan 2014 12:01 PM Title: Chapter 24
Bella really knows how to carry a grudge! My lord, I thought she was going to kill Edward and in so doing, kill herself at the same time!
Date: 28 Jan 2014 11:45 AM Title: Chapter 23
Hope it isn't Edward! Seeing the happiness of Lizzie and Emma , with young Johnny sure angered Bella, made her furious with Edward for dying and leaving her alone. If only she knew!
Date: 28 Jan 2014 11:27 AM Title: Chapter 22
Two things came out of that chapter, Edward got that horrible woman out of his life and he met Jasper Whitlock! Of course it was almost a fatal encounter, so I'm glad Edward got away. Too bad his Bella alarm is turned off now.
Date: 28 Jan 2014 11:05 AM Title: Chapter 21
That scene in the Swan home was pretty bad, until Maggie Jones took things in hand and straightened Charlie out! It must have devestated Edward to hear what happened to Bella, but better he knows. I'm so glad he's searching for her. Not so glad he's run into this Victoria, who I think may be lying about knowing where Bella is!
Date: 28 Jan 2014 10:42 AM Title: Chapter 20
Looks like Bella and Garrett met the Quileute shape-shifters, and it sure didn't end well for poor Garrett. I'm glad he told her he didn't kill Emma and Lizzie, and that he always loved her. Poor Bella, she just keeps losing the people she cares for!
Date: 28 Jan 2014 10:23 AM Title: Chapter 19
Poor Edward, it had to happen sooner or later. You can't live around that kind of love and not want it for yourself. Edward had only the memories of the love he and Bella shared to comfort him in his solitude. Can't say as I blame him for leaving.
Date: 28 Jan 2014 10:09 AM Title: Chapter 18
So close, but I guess it was not meant to be. This Bella is nothing like Edward remembers, anyway, so it must not be the right time.
Date: 28 Jan 2014 9:48 AM Title: Chapter 17
The reasons Carlisle gave Edward for not changing Bella always made sense to me, and Edward was correct when he pointed out the difference in circumstances. So, after nearly three hundred years, Carlisle has his mate. Too bad Edward can't know what's happened to Bella, or he would scour the earth looking for her!
Date: 28 Jan 2014 9:30 AM Title: Chapter 16
From Bella's description, I thought the smooth-voiced stranger was a vampire, and sure enough, he was! So here we are, Edward and Bella now are the same species, and neither one knows it! Hell of a situation! Couldn't the two of them catch a break, just one?
Date: 28 Jan 2014 9:11 AM Title: Chapter 15
The dinner at Henry's was bad enough, but when that God-awful pain hit him, I just knew that Edward's connection to Bella was the cause! He's feeling whatever happened to her in the alleyway!
Date: 28 Jan 2014 8:56 AM Title: Chapter 14
Just when Bella was earning some money and the four of them were eating regularly, along comes urban unrest! That last sentence sounds like Bella has been shot!
Date: 28 Jan 2014 8:46 AM Title: Chapter 13
Not only her parents but Edward would be horrified to learn how Bella is living these days!
Date: 28 Jan 2014 8:25 AM Title: Chapter 12
Edward and Carlisle sure could have used the services of a psychic, so they could have seen the misery Bella was in after learning of Edward's "death". They are bonding as father and son, so at least that much is right!
Date: 28 Jan 2014 8:12 AM Title: Chapter 11
Carlisle may have unintentionally caused Edward more pain than that suffered during his transformation! To see his things from his former life, on his birthday, and to remember Bella nearly crippled him! Hopefully Carlisle will stop him from hurting Bella, though I'm thinking isn't this the day Bella leaves home?
Date: 28 Jan 2014 6:52 AM Title: Chapter 10
Good thing Bella is strong and stubborn, otherwise what she's doing is not quite the thing for a young, gently-raised girl. I hope she has what it takes to make it on her own. I have worries about this course she's set upon!
Date: 28 Jan 2014 6:16 AM Title: Chapter 9
Now Bella will have a clue as to why she felt that awful pain in her chest that day in the kitchen. It must have been the day Edward's human life ended. Poor little girl, she will be totally devestated.
Date: 28 Jan 2014 5:43 AM Title: Chapter 8
I heard what Dr. Cullen told Mrs. Masen, so I have a pretty good idea what is in store for Edward. He mourns his parents, but he more than grieves for his Bella, as she will mourn him!
Date: 28 Jan 2014 4:57 AM Title: Chapter 7
We all know what has begun, the sad ending of everything Edward loves. It's almost enough to bring a tear to my eye, the only hope being that it won't be a final seperation of him and Bella forever!
Date: 27 Jan 2014 3:05 AM Title: Chapter 6
Take a deep breath Edward and give her the ring!
Date: 27 Jan 2014 2:53 AM Title: Chapter 5
Now I know where the blue silk dress came from, just not who is giving it to Bella! It's so cute to hear how much Edward loves his Bella!
Date: 27 Jan 2014 2:38 AM Title: Chapter 4
That was a bit cruel of Charlie to tease Edward that way, but he at least gave permission.
Date: 27 Jan 2014 2:11 AM Title: Chapter 3
I've been thinking of the proprietyof Edward buying Bella's beautiful blue dress, and don't think he would have. It must be her parents, I would think. This chapter was a nice glimpse into a time long past!
Date: 27 Jan 2014 1:57 AM Title: Chapter 2
I hear what you're saying about keeping them sweet and innocentforever, almost! Not in this day and age either, though I can't help but think if we weren't in such a hurry for children to grow up, it still might be more like 1916! I must agree with you, these two are adorable!
Date: 27 Jan 2014 1:43 AM Title: Chapter 1
I grew up in the fifties, and even that seems so old-fashioned now! Things were so different right after the turn of the twentieth century, slower-paced, perhaps more innocent. I try not to think of them as better times, just simpler. It's sweet to see love bloom between Edward and Bella at that time.

This is a wonderful story. Thank you for sharing.

Wow that was hard. I'm happy it went ok though. Giving Charlie some peace.

I love it very happy that bella could see charlie. Can't wait for the next chapter!!!!
Date: 07 Sep 2013 3:58 PM Title: Chapter 32
I love it as always and I am excited for the next one. I wonder how Charlie will react and how bella will take it....
Author's Response:
I'm glad you liked it and I truly hope I did Charlie and Bella's conversation justice because it really is important to all of them. Thanks for the review. I really appreciate it. Much love - D
Until next time...here's a peek at Edward's next chapter:
"Shh, Daddy, it's okay." Bella's voice was soft and soothing. "It's okay."
Panicked, my focus instantly switched to Renee, her mind still foggy as her medically aided sleep held her under. Mrs. Jones stirred but her dreams still played strongly in her mind. I breathed a sigh of relief as my mind shifted back to Bella.
I couldn't see anything in the room but I could hear them - Charlie continually repeating her name and Bella apologizing for leaving. It hurt me to hear their broken sobs knowing I was the cause of all their pain, but it helped, if only a little, to know I could give them this moment before his illness took him away.
Just then, the room came into view as Charlie opened his eyes. I watched though his vision as he pulled Bella away from him and held her shoulder, not allowing her to move too far from him.
"My sweet girl, you're home."

i just finisher reading all 32 chapters you have up and hope to be able to finish your story i really like it, it's not like any other one i've read and it's not like what happened is twlight some but not much the story line is your for sure and that in it's self made me like it that much more. here's hoping to be reading more soon.
Author's Response:
I'm glad you liked it. I wanted to keep true to the timeline of the story but put my own twist on it. So I'm glad to hear you think it worked. Don't worry, I update this story as often as I can so you will see it come to an end...in due time, of course. There's still so much to come. Thanks for the review. I really appreciate it.

Wonder if they will go to Edwards family for the wedding. I'm excited for Bella to see her dad again. They all need closure.
Author's Response:
Unfortunately, Edward's not ready to share Bella with his family just yet. They need some time alone before they meet back up with the Cullens again. And I agree, Bella and Charlie both need closure and their time together will give them that and so much more. Thanks for the review. I really appreciate it. Much love - D

I'm glad that Edward got up the courage to propose again. I bet Edward on Bella's back is pretty funny to see. I wonder if she will switch to animals.
Author's Response:
Edward proposing to Bella was more instinct than anything else. It was all a mixture of the perfect time and place and feeling. She was already wearing his ring so it all worked out the way it should. And yeah, I had that picture of Edward on Bella's back in my head and couldn't stop laughing. I had to use it. The question of her diet is up in the air right now. She's debating but I'm sure she'll make the right decision eventually. Thanks for the review. I really appreciate it. Much love - D

I love this chapter. I'm sitting in the front of my seat waiting for the next chapter. Glad edward found his faith, and that bella seems open to Edwards diet. See ya soon (hint hint) :)
Author's Response:
I'm glad you liked it and I am so, so sorry it's taken so long to get this next chapter posted. Timing differences and personal issues keep it from me for a while. Now, you mentioned his faith, that's the one thing I never took from Edward. His faith was always impressed upon him as a human and Carlisle nurtured that after his change. So, in my world, it's something he'll never lose. As for Bella's diet, Edward has reluctantly accepted her choice but, knowing how he truly feels about it, she is undecided. We'll see what happens when she finally makes her choice. Thanks for the review. I really appreciate it and I hope to never be gone this long again. Much love - D

This story is really good and hope that you plan to finish it. It's been awhile sence you updated.
Author's Response:
I'm so glad you like my little story. It's been fun to write so far and there is still so much more to come. And yes, I'm sorry it's taken me a while to update, though, it hasn't been quite as long as TWCS would have you believe. I always try to keep it right at two weeks and while that's hasn't really worked lately, I do my best to keep them close. Thanks for the review and I hope to hear from you more in the future. Much love - D
Until next time...here's a peek at Edward's next chapter:
Picking myself up off the floor, I took another steadying breath before rushing downstairs. Bella's quiet sobs hit me as I opened the back door and I was kneeling at her side in an instant.
"Bella," I whispered.
She was so lost in her grief she actually jumped when I touched her shoulder. Her face was marred by sorrow and I couldn't stop myself from pulling her into my arms. Her body molded to mine as she buried her head in my shoulder and cried.
Running my hands through her hair, I whispered soft, soothing words, hoping to settle her tears. I didn't know how much time had passed before she calmed, nothing left but tiny whimpers of grief. She was so still, had she been human, I would have believed she'd cried herself asleep. Though, just as the thought passed through my mind, she spoke.
"Please, Edward."
If I wasn't so focused on her, I would have missed it, but I didn't. I heard those two devastatingly heartbroken words loud and clear.
"Anything for you, my love," I whispered as I dipped my head to kiss her temple.
Date: 06 Jul 2013 5:54 AM Title: Chapter 31
I think Bella should see Charlie and Renee. I think her parents can keep it quiet and it will help her relationship with Edward.
Author's Response:
I agree with you. Bella needs to have the chance to say goodbye. Edward believes it too. He's just afraid for her safety. He will do what's right, though. Just trust him. Thanks for the review. I really appreciate it. Much love - D

Edward should let Bella say goodbye. He's going to die so who will find out
Author's Response:
Edward's not being as unreasonable as some people think. He's lived with Carlisle telling him true stories about the Volturi and he's terrified of them finding Bella and killing her for revealing their secret. Bella, on the other hand, has really only heard stories and doesn't always believe the truth in them because the person relaying the stories was never there in person. Her lack of belief and her concern for Charlie are driving her desire to see him. Edward's not keeping her away to be cruel. He just wants her to be safe. He will do what's right, though. Just trust him. Thanks for the review. I really appreciate it. Much love - D

Author's Response:
Yes they have many issues to work through but they're doing it together now. No matter how much they fight and argue, they always come back to each other so they can find their center again. Something they can only do together. Thanks for the review. I really appreciate it. Much love - D

I'm so glad you liked it. We're coming up on some good stuff, at least I think so, and I can't wait to hear what you think. Thanks for the review. I really appreciate it. Much love - D
Until next time...here's a peek at Bella's next chapter, which will be up later today:
"Talk to me, Angel." He pressed his forehead to mine. "Tell me about the city." He let out a strained laugh. "In all my travels, the only time I've been there was the night I found you."
"Really?" I drew back to look him in the eye.
I could see the sadness he tried to hide and I knew he was doing it for me. Edward loved my father and his illness had to hurt him just as much as it did me, but he tried to be strong. For me, he would always be strong.
"What was it like?" he asked again.
"I was terrified," I admitted with a shaky laugh. "So many cars, so many people and I had nowhere to go."
The arm he had around my waist loosened as I put a bit of distance between us.
"Mrs. Jones gave me ten dollars when I left but it wasn't enough. After a few days I was living in the street. I slept in alleys and stole food when I needed to eat."
"Oh Bella."
Hearing what I went through, the distance between us disappeared as Edward brought me back into his arms. Resting my forehead against his chest, I continued.
"I don't know how I made it as long as I did. I was scared and alone until..." My words trailed off as I remembered the day I met Lizzy, Johnny and Jack.
"Until what?" Edward urged.
"Until they found me."

So... Does this mean no going back to the Cullen's? They have that strict animal diet and all.... I antisipate rose being trouble.
Author's Response:
Unfortunately, no. They won't be going back to the Cullens just yet. Their animal diet would be a bit of a problem for Bella, not to mention the slight anger and hatred she's holding for Carlisle right now. It's best to keep them apart for now. Besides, Edward and Bella have been apart way too long and need their time alone together. They will find them again, though, just not as soon as people would like. Thanks for the review.

Until next time...are you ready for something a little more playful? Here's a peek at Edward's next chapter, which will be up later today:
"Are you trying to give me a heart attack?" I growled low into her ear.
A low growl rumbled in her chest as she exhaled and leaned back into me. "We've been climbing trees since we were ten and you're worried now. Now that I can't be hurt."
"The trees we climbed when we were ten didn't have you hundreds of feet above ground."
"We, my love," she twisted to kiss me quickly, "are indestructible. I could jump from this tree and the only thing to get hurt would be the ground beneath my feet."
"I just worry about you," I admitted.
"Don't."
She turned to straddle the branch, lifting an arm around my neck and resting her other hand on my arm. Her smile was gone.
"I've lived through so much already; falling from a tree is nothing in comparison."
"But I could have kept you from all of that. If I'd been here, I could have saved you from so much pain." I touched her cheek. "I will make up for that. I'll make up for every bit of pain you suffered."
"By keeping me out of trees." Her smile returned. "You've lived a sheltered life haven't you?"

Finally is right! Bella was giving me whiplash! I felt so bad for Edward. I hope things will be better for them now. I can't wait to see what is next. Great job....thanks!!!
Author's Response:
Someone actually referred to her as "Bipolar Bella" and, I guess, that description is pretty accurate. My girl is still a little messed up but, trust me, Edward's working on that part. Give him some time; he'll get his Bella back...kind of. hehe Thanks for he review. I really appreciate it. Much love - D

She turned to straddle the branch, lifting an arm around my neck and resting her other hand on my arm. Her smile was gone.
"I've lived through so much already; falling from a tree is nothing in comparison."
"But I could have kept you from all of that. If I'd been here, I could have saved you from so much pain." I touched her cheek. "I will make up for that. I'll make up for every bit of pain you suffered."
"By keeping me out of trees." Her smile returned. "You've lived a sheltered life haven't you?"

I am glad that Bella is giving Edward a chance. I like your twist on Edward being able to hear Bella if she wants him to.
Author's Response:
I'm glad you liked it. Thankfully, Bella came to her senses before it was too late. And I like that Edward can only hear Bella when she wants to speak to him through their mental connection. It's definitely going to come in handy later in this story. Thanks for the review. I really appreciate it. Much love - D
Until next time...are you ready for something a little more playful? Here's a peek at Edward's next chapter, which will be up later today:
"Are you trying to give me a heart attack?" I growled low into her ear.
A low growl rumbled in her chest as she exhaled and leaned back into me. "We've been climbing trees since we were ten and you're worried now. Now that I can't be hurt."
"The trees we climbed when we were ten didn't have you hundreds of feet above ground."
"We, my love," she twisted to kiss me quickly, "are indestructible. I could jump from this tree and the only thing to get hurt would be the ground beneath my feet."
"I just worry about you," I admitted.
"Don't."

Yay! We have some happy people. It's finally starting to form nicely. I think Bella will still have issues but that just seems to be her. Maybe drinking animals will calm her down.
Author's Response:
Progress is a good thing and they are definitely making some good headway here. They've still got a few bumps in the road that they'll need to work out before they can be truly happy, but they're finally on the right path. As for Bella's diet of choice, well...I'll let her tell you about that in the next chapter. Thanks for the review. I really appreciate it. Much love - D

What?? Who told you the angst was over cuz they didn't tell me. LOL Just kidding. Some of the hardest parts are behind them now. There are still going to be issues because, let's face it, they've got some problems to work out (coughfeedingcoughcough).

Author's Response:
Yes, they're finally getting somewhere. And the next chapter is going to be a huge jump in their journey back to each other. Thanks for the review. I really appreciate it. Much love - D
Until next time...here's a peek at Bella's next chapter which will be posted later today:
My fingers made a path across the map to the east coast of Maine, to the black dot covering the very spot Garrett and I walked into the ocean.
"A friend of Garrett's found us in the mountains and while they spoke, the man told him of his recent trip to Europe. Knowing Victoria was still hunting me, Garrett thought it would be the perfect time to take me away.
"We left from here," I said with a grin, remembering our fun on the beach. "I wanted to travel by ship, our own personal buffet, but Garrett wouldn't allow it. He knew I couldn't be confined that way so he brought me to this point and we swam the ocean to get there."
I turned to Edward and his eyes were wide with a look of surprise.
"Didn't you know we could swim like that?" I asked excitedly. "It was amazing, Edward. Someday I'll take you..."
"Darling. Are you awake?"
My father's voice rang through the air and my head snapped toward the sound. Edward's hands were on me immediately and I reached out for him, holding myself against him to keep from running for the door.
"Don't let me go," I whispered.
"Never," he whispered back.

*dramatically throws arm over forehead and throws self down*

Great chapter, I HOPE this is the beginning of calming down and getting things set on the straight and narrow for these two.
Author's Response:
You're too cute. I don't like tug of war either. But they need to get their issues resolved before they can move forward. Just know they're getting there and the next chapter is a huge jump in the right direction. Thanks for the review. I really appreciate it. Much love - D

Author's Response:
Yes, peace is finally coming. Edward and Bella made some breakthroughs in this chapter. And I know it's been a long time coming, but they're about to make a few more. And as much as I hate to say it, Bella won't be telling Edward about Garrett just yet. She'll talk about little things they did together but she's still grieving his death and isn't ready to talk about his part in her life. It will come, though, no doubt about that.

"I could have done it, Angel, but I was afraid of what would happen when you began aging and I didn't. There was no way to explain it to you without telling you the truth and doing so would have ensured your death." A horrified expression crept across his face. "You mocked me before but I was afraid of the Italians, Bella. They're vicious men and I was terrified of what they would do to you if they found out you knew our secret."
"But you could have changed me, Edward. We would have been safe."
"I couldn't ask you to give up..."
I was in front of him in a flash with a hand covering his mouth. Our eyes locked and his face blurred as the venom filled my eyes.
With more emotion than I thought myself capable of, I whispered, "I gave my life to you when you were alive." My hand slid to his cheek. "What made you think I wouldn't have given you forever if you asked for it?"
Slowly, his hand covered mine.
"I wanted that," he whispered back. "I wanted you...so much that I couldn't stay away any longer. But when I came back you were gone."

Now she's really going to be pissed off. It makes sense that he didn't remember her though, his fever was so high he must have been delirious before he died.
Author's Response:
Edward's fever was definitely high but he was thinking of her when he died. Memory loss is just one of those things that can happen after the change and they won't remember until something triggers the memories. That's what happened to Edward and that's what he should have explained to her instead of blurting out the one sentence that was sure to hurt her. He actually deserves whatever she throws at him for that statement. Thanks for the review. I really appreciate it. Much love - D

I'm just curious how no one has heard screaming and yelling coming from the house that's been empty for the past fourteen years. That would be a little suspicious, I think. LOL. Thanks for the review. I really appreciate it. Much love to you - D
Until next time...here's a peek at Bella's next chapter, which will be up later today:
"I could have done it, Angel, but I was afraid of what would happen when you began aging and I didn't. There was no way to explain it to you without telling you the truth and doing so would have ensured your death." A horrified expression crept across his face. "You mocked me before but I was afraid of the Italians, Bella. They're vicious men and I was terrified of what they would do to you if they found out you knew our secret."
"But you could have changed me, Edward. We would have been safe."
"I couldn't ask you to give up..."
I was in front of him in a flash with a hand covering his mouth. Our eyes locked and his face blurred as the venom filled my eyes.
With more emotion than I thought myself capable of, I whispered, "I gave my life to you when you were alive." My hand slid to his cheek. "What made you think I wouldn't have given you forever if you asked for it?"
Slowly, his hand covered mine.
"I wanted that," he whispered back. "I wanted you...so much that I couldn't stay away any longer. But when I came back you were gone."

Author's Response:
I'm glad you liked it. Bella's a complete mess right now and her thoughts and emotions are at war with each other. Her anger is going to come and go and poor Edward is going to have his hands full with her, but once they're really able to talk things will get better for them. It's just going to take time. Thanks, as always, for your review. I really, really love hearing what you think. Love you tons - D
Until next time...here's a peek at Edward's next chapter, which will be up later today:
"Maggie?" Bella's quiet voice startled me.
"Mrs. Jones," I answered her. She lifted her confused eyes to meet mine. "You and I spent our entire childhood with that woman and had no idea she and your father were best friends."
I smiled when Bella's brow creased.
"How do you know this?"
My smile faded, knowing this would be where it started. I had promised her the absolute truth and that was what I would give her. It wasn't a difficult question but I knew my Bella would be upset by my answer. And I'd learned enough about the girl in my arms now to know that she wouldn't take the news lightly and I braced myself for a fight.
Hoping to keep her violent side at bay, I spoke in the calmest voice possible. "The first year I came home, I overheard a horrible argument between the three of them. Your father was so angry, more so than I'd ever heard in my life. He was yelling at your mother and when Mrs. Jones stepped in to defend her, he turned his anger on her."
"You're lying!" Her fist hit me hard and in a flash, she was across the room. "My father has never yelled at my mother and neither of my parents have ever said a cross word to Mrs. Jones. What could possibly cause them to argue?"
I didn't want to say it. I didn't want to hurt her again and it was inevitable that my words would do just that. I steeled myself for her wrath.
"They were arguing about you."

Bella is going through so much. I guess she has to get through her hurt of losing Edward before she can really be happy that she has him again. She is going to have to listen to what he has to say at some point. She has to see that he thought he was doing what was best for her. I hope she holds on to the thought she had about how they could now be together for eternity. I love this as always. Great job...thanks so much!!!
Author's Response:
Bella's thoughts and emotions are going haywire right now. It's to be expected, though, when everything she thought she knew turned out to be a lie and the boy she thought was dead was suddenly standing in front her expecting her to still love him like nothing had changed. But through it all, her heart really does know the truth. It's her head that puts up one hell of a fight. They're going to go through plenty of struggles and fights before the whole truth comes out and Bella is able to trust and believe in Edward again. Then the love she still has for him will come to the surface and they can be happy again. Thanks, as always, for your review. I really, really love hearing what you think. Love you tons - D

It is sad to hear that you're not going to be reading any more, but this story is what it is. My Bella just wasn't going to run into Edward's arms and be all loving after all the pain she's been through. That wouldn't be realistic with her character.

Sorry I couldn't give you what you wanted for their reunion. I would have loved to give them the romance and sweetness, but that isn't who Bella is anymore.

Until next time...here's a peek at Bella's next chapter, which will be up later today:
A growl rumbled deep in my chest as Edward's scent pulled me from my thoughts. Turning my back to the shed, I scanned the darkness. I couldn't see him but I knew he was close.
"Don't take another step, Edward," I warned, knowing he could hear me.
I heard his footsteps come to a halt as silence hung in the air. A few minutes passed as I searched the area around me. He was nowhere to be seen but I could feel him out there.
"Please let me help, Bella." His voice sliced through the darkness.
"I don't need your help."
"Don't shut me out, Angel."
My eyes closed for a split second as the old name brought more memories of our lives together.
"I watched my father die, Bella," he continued. "I know how you feel."
"How long have you known, Edward?" I hissed, ignoring his last comment. "How long did you watch my father suffer before you came to find me?"

Wow, I didn't see that coming. I am glad he finally found her. I am so sad that Charlie is sick. This is going to be do hard in Bella. I can't wait to see what she does. Edward has to get through to her. It is going to be hard though. She is so angry. Great job...thanks so much!!!
Author's Response:
I know it wasn't the reunion you expected but Bella has a lot of things she blames Edward for, some more justified than others, but it's going to take her a while to see that. In her eyes, Edward's got a lot to make up for and a lot of explaining to do. Once he gets his truth out there, though, she can finally start to heal. But that's still going to take some time. The only thing I can say is, at least they're together now and nothing is going to tear them apart again. As for Charlie, it kills me that he's dying but it's the way it has to be. But think positive, it's going to be the one thing that allows Bella to feel love again and that feeling will only help Edward and Bella in the long run. Thanks, as always, for the review, darlin. I love seeing your name pop up after I post a chapter. You always give me the best reviews. Love you tons, bb - D
Until next time...here's a peek at Bella's next chapter, which will be up later today:
A growl rumbled deep in my chest as Edward's scent pulled me from my thoughts. Turning my back to the shed, I scanned the darkness. I couldn't see him but I knew he was close.
"Don't take another step, Edward," I warned, knowing he could hear me.
I heard his footsteps come to a halt as silence hung in the air. A few minutes passed as I searched the area around me. He was nowhere to be seen but I could feel him out there.
"Please let me help, Bella." His voice sliced through the darkness.
"I don't need your help."
"Don't shut me out, Angel."
My eyes closed for a split second as the old name brought more memories of our lives together.
"I watched my father die, Bella," he continued. "I know how you feel."
"How long have you known, Edward?" I hissed, ignoring his last comment. "How long did you watch my father suffer before you came to find me?"

Thank you for updating. Been waiting for this chapter for so long. This Bella is so different from human Bella and it was so strange to see how she reacted to Edward.
Author's Response:
Honestly, if you think about it, her reaction isn't that surprising if you consider her character since she had been changed. She was faced with someone who was supposed to be dead and she thought it was a trick of some kind. Like he was some impostor sent there to hurt her and she wanted to kill him before he got the chance. When Edward finally got through to her, though, he opened up a world of hurt that had been in her heart for years and he was going to pay the price. It's going to be a hard fight for her to come back but Edward isn't going to give up on her. Thanks for the review, darlin. I really appreciate it. Much love - D

Not exactly the reunion he was hoping for, but maybe she will calm down enough for him to explain everything. Can't wait to read more!!! :)

I know this wasn't the reunion you were hoping for but Bella has a lot of things she blames Edward for, some more justified than others, and it's going to take her a while to see that. In her eyes, Edward's got a lot to make up for and a lot of explaining to do. Once he gets his truth out there, though, she can finally start to heal. But that's still going to take some time. The only thing I can say is, at least they're together now and nothing is going to tear them apart again. Thanks, as always for the review, love. It makes me happy when I see your name pop up. Love you tons - D
