Hey fellow readers!
Just thought I should apologize for the lack of update this week. The chapter is written, it's is just unfortunately stuck on my computer, which is at the moment being very stupid and not working. So that is a work in progress. Hoping to either get a new computer or borrow someone's so I can actually update this in a reasonable time. I don't want you guys to wait too long and I hate not writing!
I have to say I'm really enjoying writing this and I'm thankful for everyone's reviews so far.
I would like to address a couple things brought up in some people's reviews.
1) Yes, in the original Twilight books, Jake and Quil are listed ONCE in the books as second cousins. I had forgotten about this and when it was brought to my attention, it was too late for me to change the way I want the plot to go in respect to JJ and Allie. But seeing as it isn't a major, crucial part of the original books, I have decided to just apologize for my mistake and ask you to move past it. I wanted Quil and Embry to have large parts in this story, in hopes to keep the whole "Jake-Embry-Quil" trio still in tact. And with Embry being married to Rebecca, I had to find a creative way to make Quil included. This is where JJ and Allie come in. So I hope you understand where I'm coming from. Besides, second cousins are a lot different than just regular cousins and in all honesty, I do believe that Stephenie Meyer insinuated that the La Push tribe residents were all related in a sort of way (not putting words in her mouth, just saying what I got out of the books). Anyways, so that's how that happened...
2) Someone asked about the way Elissa ages. No, she doesn't age like her mother. She is her own individual person and I view her aging as her being frozen looking like eighteen year old when she reaches that age. She will still have birthdays after that, she just won't look any different. Sort of like Edward, Emmett, etc, just my own spin on it. You have to remember that Elissa is a mixture of Jacob and Renesmee, therefore she is not an exact replica of her mother. I never realized this piece of information would confuse anyone and I apologize for not addressing it earlier if that is the case. But the reason I didn't say anything about it is that I want my story to be as professional as possible and authors don't hand out information about the characters before you read their first book. They want you to make your own image and opinion of their characters. That's how I feel about my story. I don't want to dwell on Elissa's age at the beginning of the story, considering its not an issue to the plot at this time. Perhaps, in time, it might come up in sequel I do, but for now, please view Elissa as the innocent, naive, fourteen year old girl who is part vampire, part human, and a teeny part werewolf. Please remember she is her OWN person and that she isn't made to be the same as someone else. She's unique!
Remember that this story is my personal take on what life would be like for our favourite Twilight characters after the wonderful books that Stephenie wrote. This is how I pictured Jake and Nessie's children to be, so please respect that:)
With that being said, let me say that I do appreciate both enouraging and critiquing reviews on my story. It helps me make it better for both your satisfaction and mine. It makes me think deeper about my plot and help me develop better, more intense ideas for Elissa, Noah, and friends. So, I thank you. I do have to ask, that no one does, however, put this story down harshly. This is my first time I have let anyone but my own mind read anything I have written and I am working very hard to make this story my very best. So, please respect my hard work.
Anyways, thanks again for all the response. I'm more than thrilled that you are all being so supportive and enjoying this story so much. I promise you that there is much more to come for our little lovebirds, Elissa and Noah. I will do my very best to update anytime after Wednesday this week, due to high school exams leaving me little time to do anything besides study and my computer PMSing BIG TIME.
Love you all! :)
