Epilogue was been reposted after many questions

When she starts her newest teaching assignment destiny intervenes to reunite them. Now she is faced with new challenges and decisions. Canon pairings. (Warnings: Violence/Mild strong language/Adult situations)

NB: I will be posting the EPOV (Student Liaison) alongside this as much as possible. The full version of Teachers Pet is on fanfiction.net but that will be the watered down version - this one will be complete with outtakes in place.

Let me preface this by saying, I have cherished my writing fan fiction. I've loved every chapter, every story, every review, and every fan. It's been a thrilling and fulfilling seventeen months.

All things have to end though. I'll be graduating college in the spring, and by then this final project will be complete. I won't be writing fan fiction anymore, but will be moving on to continue my freelance work that I'm doing, and also writing my own novels. Before I start that though, I want to leave the fan fiction world with a bang.

This final project will be a series of four stories. "Reborn in Twilight," "Broken During The New Moon," "Fighting an Eclipse," and "We Are Breaking Dawn." That's right, I'm rewriting the saga.

Some may consider it a ballsy move, some may see it as stupid. But since my writing fan fiction has been me molding the characters to be my own, what other proper way is there to leave fan fiction, other than rewriting it.

I mean no disrespect by doing so. I enjoyed the saga very much. Still, I think I can do a decent job at making it something different. Not necessarily better, just my own.

There will still be similarities to the saga of course. No character names or couple pairings will change. Only the characters personalities may be different. Something else that I'll do, as I do in all my stories, is make multiple character POV's. I think it helps character development, and makes it a more rounded and complete story.

There will be obvious differences also. The vampires will not be the same type. No sparkling or dazzling here. Parts will be darker, and parts will be funnier. No differences are meant to upset anyone, or offend, it's just the way I write and tell the story.

I hope this will be enjoyed, and I hope I receive the much needed feedback in reviews.

Let's get started.

Vampire, Edward Masen, craves someone's body more than her blood.  Can he ever see Bella as more than a pleasure giver?  Can Bella ever see Edward as anything other than a monster?

This story is intended for mature readers only (18 and over).   Subject matter could be disturbing to some readers.

Lonesome and second-guessing his career as a baseball player, Edward never imagined that it would only take one foul ball to turn his world upside down. That he might possibly find everything he had ever dreamt of, everything that had been missing in his life. Would he embrace it, or would he strike out, never knowing true love?

Special thanks to NoelleSeven for the awesome banner she made me.

Bella's perfect world is crumbling around her. She feels as though she's drowning when she meets an angry, broken Edward. Can he save her while living in an abusive nightmare of his own? Can they save each other? 

"Growing up is hard. It's hard for everyone,however, some are luckier than others. I always thought I was one of those lucky ones, but as I sat there, I realized how wrong I was."

Summary - Bella is kidnapped by a beautiful stranger that cannot kill her, but hates that a human can have power over him. Which road will he choose? When Jacob wants her, will that make his decision? Both men want to own Bella, however her heart only belongs to one. Which will have her in the end? Can Edward protect her from Jacob and his past, or will she eventually be consumed?
