I'm glad you liked it. I hope you enjoy my other fanfics too. Check out my original works at twcs publishing house - Blind Faith and The Darkness of Perfection as well if you like.

Thanks for reading and reviewing His Cimmerian View.  The next chapter will be a great one for sure, but as a loyal reader and reviewer pointed out so far most of the chapters have been just that... a great one.  I know many of you are sick of Rose, and we assure you that there will be closure there soon.  There is not much redemption for a character like Rose, however there are things happening that will at least show that Emmett is not in fact an idiot who allows Rose to be poisonous to all.  Many of you are worried that the introduction of Mr. James Hunter will be a dangerous situation for Bella.  James Hunter has been in the story all along, and he is a very volatile person, and there will be more to come that involves him in the near future.  Alice is showing a bit of a change, but I think she knows she has made her final stand alongside of Rosalie.  Keep in mind within days of chapter 24 posting that Enduring His Cimmerian View will post and the first out-take to post will be Bella’s POV up to and through chapter 24.  We waited to give you Bella’s POV until Chapter 24 posted for a very good reason... sex.  Yep get out your big girl panties and prepare yourselves for that, because it is going to be posting on Thursday, the BPOV will post hopefully next Saturday.  There weren’t a lot of questions, but there is still some confusion.  Rose and Jasper are Esme’s niece and nephew, whom Esme and Carlisle were given guardianship of when they were around 10/12 respectfully.  Rose is older.  Edward’s mother is MIA, but for all accounts and purposes he believes she is still alive.  Bella’s birth mother was Renee who died of Cancer when Bella was 3.  Charlie is Bella’s birth father and he is dead.  Sue Swan was Charlie’s wife and Bella’s Step mother.  Harry Clearwater is Sue Swans brother, and tormentor of Bella.   We are excited to see your reviews from the next chapter as well as the BPOV that will post.  Kasi (&Nikky)

Chapter 24 teaser... subject to changes in the beta process.

I’m in the middle of teaching when my phone rings.  “Excuse me. Tia, please carry on for me.”  Tia gives me a smile and takes over from where I left off.  “Hello, Caius. I was just going to step into my office.  How can I help you?”

I hear some chatter in the background.  “Edward, I’m sorry for bothering you.  Everything here is a big clusterfuck right now.  I was just calling to give you an update on the Bree Tanner situation.  We’ve had three more ex-students come forward with allegations claiming that Mr. Hunter did similar things to them, so the state police have taken over the case.  I was one of the people they called in to assist, as they’re planning to speak to all of his ex-students. The officers got here yesterday and worked through last night and this morning.  They need to speak to you, as well.” I sigh, rubbing my face, even though I had already expected this information. “This looks really fucking big, Edward.  From what I’ve gathered, he targets a student in their junior year, mostly just degrading them at first. Then, when they enter their senior year, he starts to get physical with them at the same time he begins the process with another student.  The three girls that came forward were manipulated into sleeping with him.  Due to the fact they were all over eighteen at the time, they can’t get him for statutory rape, but are charging him with aggravated rape and extortion.” 

I pull at my hair, hoping that James gets a shitty lawyer. A good one could use this to their advantage. “What’s the bond amount he’s being held on?”

There is a loud sigh and a chill travels down my spine.  “Nothing. He was released pending charges after questioning.  The charges were just filed, so now the officers are on their way to pick him up again.”  We talk a little more about some other things before saying our goodbyes. 

The rest of the day passes in a blur. The State Police being here is making life more stressful than it already is.  Marcus sent in extra counselors and staff to help out with the backlash of shit that’s going on in Forks. 

By the end of the week another three ex-students have come forward claiming that Mr. Hunter forced them into physical relationships with him. A current student has also come forward to say he had just recently started verbally abusing her.

Well hello to our faithful readers and reviewers.  It is hard to believe that this story will be coming to a close in just about five to seven more weeks.  Yeah chapter 27 posts next week, 28 is written and off to the start of the beta’s (yes more than one) process.  I am working on 29 and Nikky is kicking behind on her part of 30.  After 30 is written there will be either 2 to 5 more chapters.  Jess2002 threw a monkey wrench into chapter 29 for us, and I was actually shocked she asked for the thing she asked for.  I will not leak the info on what she said we needed to do, but man alive it does give a nice twist.  (LIKE WE NEED MORE?) twists that is...LOL.  Okay so you got quite a bit of the mystery settled on the real Tanya Denali.  I never lied to you , when I assured you all that Tanya Denali was in fact dead and buried.  I also stated many times that the toddler found in the burnt house with Tanya Denali was in fact the child she gave birth to.  Neither of those statements was untrue.  I never said that he was in fact Edward’s, just that he was in fact Tanya’s.  You will get to hear more about good old Uncle Harry again, but trust me when I say that he will be quit forthcoming on the information.  Jane has incredible ways to make assholes talk.  Many of you want to see Jane get her hands on Sue, and well I will not say if that happens or not, you will have to wait and see.  Sue and her bullshit are not yet complete and I will say this, she makes an appearance in more than one chapter upcoming.  She is quite sly, like a fox.  We are both so excited to see what you are all thinking.  I know that this was a lot to take in with the double identities.  I want to assure you all that everything written so far was all part of the original plan, chapter 29 will be the first deviation from our starting outline.  We hope that you all continue to enjoy and read and review this story, because it is nice to hear how much you like, love, or hate parts of it.  We are amazed that we have written a story that is garnering so much emotion from our readers.  Thank you for all you say in your reviews, they really mean the world to us!  Kasi (&Nikky)   

Teaser for chapter 27: Subject to changes during final beta process

I look at Bella and Alice sitting there on the floor.  Alice is in front of Bella holding her arms while Bella is shaking and crying.  I walk toward them, both seeming to have missed Emmett and me coming in the room.

“He’s going to hate me... they are all going to hate me. What should I do?  This is so big. I... I didn’t know. I swear I didn’t know.  Why…why would she lie about that?  I did everything they ever asked.  I never questioned them. She could have told me. I would’ve still loved them, I do still love them.  Why?  I... it’s not fair, Alice.” Bella’s hand goes to her hair, and she begins to grip and pull at it. 

“Bella, please calm down.  I’m not sure I fully understand what you’re talking about, but Edward loves you very much, and he knows you; he will trust you, I’m sure...”

As I move forward, Alice stops talking and turns to me. This makes Bella look up at me, too.  She looks broken and scared.

“Bella Baby,” I say, holding my arms out to her. Instead of coming to me like I’d hoped, she shakes her head.

“You’re going to hate me, but I swear I didn’t know.  I thought that... I thought I was the best for them. I didn’t know really. I swear didn’t know.   If I had, I would’ve looked for you, I swear.  Mom and Harry couldn’t have done or said anything that would’ve stopped me from finding you.  If I knew, I would have made sure that they were where they belonged.  I would have been punished, but I would have taken it happily knowing that they were safe and loved.  I am so sorry.” I look at her, seeing her hurting, and I hurt too because she is still putting herself last.  “Your son, Edw...” She cuts off mid-sentence and begins to wail.

I am sooooo sorry. I hated to do that. It was the best place to stop. Sorry. xoxox

Well we are again so pleased by the turn out and response to this chapter.  Yes Bella will be a tad bitchy in the next chapter, but she has her reasons.  Let’s see how Edward handles it.  A whole lot, like 99.8% of you are begging for more Daddy-Kink, and we want to share that where they role-play, it will not be all daddy-kink... With that said, there will continue to be daddy-kink in the story, and there will be play on the age difference.  There will be time jumps, but they will start to lessen in amounts of time.  There is quite a bit of story yet to go.  We’re loving all the comments about Jasper and the ways you think he should be handled.  I can’t wait to hear all your thoughts after Chapter 20 posts.  LOL... yes I am teasing you over a chapter you don’t get to read for 4 and ½ long weeks.  Don’t be mad, it will be worth the wait.  I promise...  The next chapter is going to be Bella at one of her bitchiest times, and I was sure to give you a little piece of her bitchiness in the teaser... so excited to see next Wednesday’s reviews.  Thanks for reading and reviewing, Kasi & Jess~

TEASER:
My first thought is to knock his ass off the couch, but then he will probably follow me around and try to talk to me, and that is really the last thing I want right now. I somehow manage to get off the couch without waking him, and go to start the coffee before heading up the stairs to get ready for the day. By the time I am done in the shower, I hear Char crying and I know that my mom and Jim are up.

Just as I am about to walk out of the bedroom, I see the air horn that I bought sitting on the dresser. I bite my lip and think twice before I pick it up. What can I say... the bitch on my shoulder is rooting me on.  Knowing what’s about to happen makes my day a whole lot better.  I head down the stairs with a little pep in my step, and walk to the couch.  I peek over to make sure he is still sleeping, and when I see that he is, I give the can a little shake and brace myself. I press the button long enough for it to let out a startling honk. I watch with a smug smile on my face as he flips off the couch, hitting his funny bone on the coffee table. Not so funny, is it? We make eye contact for a split second before I turn for the kitchen.

“That was very uncalled for, Isabella,” he says as he storms up the stairs. I high five the little bitch on my shoulder as I throw together some sort of breakfast. Jim walks in a little later with Char as my mother follows them.

“Bella, did you set off a smoke detector?” Jim asks as he makes himself a cup of coffee.

Thank you for your review. Sorry it's taken me so long to respond and update, but I am actually rewriting this so there is better flow etc in the chapters and better english where needed and while I am doing that real life is being a bugger and my other stories need attention too. Please hang in there as there is more to this story!

Many of you have already figured out that Renee is not quite motherly material. We were laughing and shocked by some of the stuff said about Renee’s pink hair.  Gotta love it.  We think you’ll like the next chapter, we get to see Renee and how she treats Bella, but we will also see how Edward gives Bella the ability to stop letting Renee walk all over her.  We think you will love it, we know we did.  A lot of you are worried about Jake and Charlie as well as Tanya ... with that being said we don’t want to give away anything much, but trust by the end of the story all things will be resolved.  I think you all will enjoy Edward’s protective ways of Bella, now that he knows she is his both casually and contractually.  We hope that you love the teaser, we had to share something juicy with you.  Thanks for reading and reviewing.  Nikky and Kasi~

TEASER:

“I couldn’t tell you for how many years we’ve been married. I know it’s been a few, but it still feels like yesterday.”

I roll my eyes at Renee’s performance, because that’s what she’s doing—performing for them.

“Mr. Cullen, when were you going to tell the world about your marriage to this woman?” one of the paparazzi yells out.

I shake my head at them. “Mrs. Dwyer is not my wife; she’s the mother of my girlfriend. Mrs. Dwyer was talking about her husband, Phil Dwyer, he plays baseball.”

Renee turns and glares at me. “They know who he is. He’s the best baseball player that has ever lived.”

I glance at the paparazzi seeing they’re all trying to figure out which team he plays for. The bright one of the bunch of course starts questioning me again. “Where is the new girlfriend, Mr. Cullen? Do we get to know her name?” I smile and look beside me to see that Bella has moved to stand almost behind me.

“She’s a little camera shy, and her name is Isabella Swan. However, we have to go, her mom and step-father have had a long flight, and it’s been a few months since they’ve had a chance to visit.  As you can imagine, they want to spend some time together, so please excuse us and have a nice day.” 

I start to walk away, but see Renee has failed to move. “Push this for a second, Beautiful,” I say before walking back and grabbing Renee’s arm lightly.  “Time to go.”

She huffs at me and I give her the look which managed to only shut her up for a whole two seconds. She really is obtuse. “Look, I need to do stuff like that with the paparazzi. I know you’re just a newcomer, but I’m famous because of who I’ve married.”

Well Nikky and I both want to thank you for reading and reviewing.  All of the questions, compliments, anger (at the characters), love and kindness in the reviews is what keeps us going so strong.  SO, thank you, for reading, reviewing, sharing your stories and most of all for loving the characters—the characters who may not belong to us in name, but who we’ve taken and made into something completely different.  It is very cool to take a loved character, change them and make them different and still have people love them so much or fall in love with them all over again.   There were lots of reviews filled with questions about the newspapers and what Charlie told them.  First in regards to the newspapers, just like when Renee went all press goddess on them, the news already knows Edward.  Edward has made no secret of his lifestyle, how else would Charlie so easily have found out about Edward.  Therefore there was really nothing to put in the press, Charlie could try but it would not be front page news anyway.  Also if you remember right, Edward doesn’t really put a lot of stock into the media reports.  There are a lot of great things to come yet, so have patience and trust.  No stones will be left unturned.   Thanks again for reading and reviewing, Nikky and Kasi~

TEASER: Phil and I walk into Jenks’ office. I decided that I no longer want any of this shit spoken about at the club. Bella loves the club and I didn’t want any additional bad feelings in it for her.

“Jenks, Benjamin,” I say taking a seat; Phil nods at them.

“We’ve found the last of the girls and even another case that was not dropped.” I look at them and they hand me a picture of a girl I have actually met and I’m in shock. 

“They have DNA from a brutal attack and rape of her,” Jenks says as I look over the paperwork behind the picture.

“You’ve got to be kidding me?” I say and they both shake their heads.

“Now you really need to look at this,” Jenks says handing me another stack of paperwork.

I read the papers and frown. “How the hell did he make Chief of Police?” I ask rhetorically, not really asking anyone.

“I’m really not sure on that one, but he will lose his job with all of this.”

I sigh rubbing my face. “Make it happen,” I say and stand up, walking out the door.

“Edward?” Phil yells after me.

“Phil, just let me calm myself. I’m really close to losing all of my control. The more I find out about Charlie Swan, the angrier I become with him.”

Phil nods in understanding. “There’s a boxing ring a few blocks from here, how about we get padded up and go for a few rounds?”

I sigh and look at him, but I stop myself from speaking. I can see he’s clearly as angry as I am. “Sounds good, just watch my face,” I say and I hear him chuckle.

“Yeah, Bella will kick my ass if I hurt your pretty face. Do you think she’s ready for Saturday?”

I shrug my shoulders. “We’ll work together to get her ready, and then we’ll all be there for her on the other side. No matter what, I know she needs to do this, even if I hate the idea of it.”
