I know, I know. Author's notes suck. This is important, though, so PLEASE READ.

I've had a lot of people ask me not to make Bella a bad guy, not to let Nori give in to the imprint, and for Bella and Jacob to just be together. I understand where ya'll are coming from! However, some of these things are inevitable.

don't make Nori hate Bella: Look at it from Nori's point of view. Nori's best friends are wolves. Her sister is in love with a vampire - the enemy. There will be a little bit of animosity there. Plus, I have sisters. We fight, we curse each other, we get angry and throw blame, but we forgive. We don't hold onto bad feelings forever. Nori saw Bella about as often as Meyer said Charlie saw her. They aren't exactly close to begin with. Not to mention the fact that Bella also loves Jacob. Even though Nori isn't exactly in love with Jacob, she is his imprint and therefore, she does care about him to a certain extent. Seeing Bella string him along and later go back to Edward will make Nori feel some type of way.

nori shouldn't give in to the imprint: I agree that she shouldn't give in immediately like Stephenie Meyer had happen with practically every other imprint mentioned: Kim, Claire, Rachel, and Emily. It was ridiculous. Nori is happy with her best friend/crush, Embry. BUT, keep in mind that the imprint is a pretty serious bond. It's practically inevitable that they'll end up together sooner or later. For all you Jacob/Nori fans, never fear! And even those Embry/Nori and Jacob/Bella and Edward/Bella fans. There will be something for all of you in the future chapters. Don't understand how that could work? I'm a magician. I'll make it happen.

nori shouldn't obsess over jacob: Okay, okay. I know what you mean. She may be going a tad bit overboard with her obsessing. But look at it this way - imprinting is such a strong phenomenon according to Meyer and the legends and whatever. It completely changes a person's outlook on someone else. When Jacob imprinted on Renesmee in the books, his main worry was her safety and happiness afterwards. He left his pack to protect her. Imprinting affects the people more than a natural, real life romance. Nori would have never thought of Jacob before. But now, he's always on her mind. It's the imprint working to bring the two together. Emily would have never taken Sam after he screwed Leah over like that if imprinting were not involved.

keep bella sweet: I don't intend to make Bella an evil, manipulative person like so many other fanfics make her out to be. I liked Bella as a character. The thing is, she's got so much going on in her own life. Like Nori is fighting with her new emotions and feelings and the onslaught of supernatural happenings, Bella is trying to choose between two men she loves and determine her own fate. How many of us get to decide if we want to live for sixty years or eternity? It's a huge decision. Bella has vampires coming after her as well and has to keep so many secrets. Smothering yourself like that can cause you to change a little. She won't be the same Bella who came to Forks with no idea of the supernatural world, just like Nori won't be the same girl who came back from school out east. People change. Life happens. From Nori's point of view, there will be plenty of times where Bella may be perceived as mean or hurtful or something. Keep in mind that this is only one person's view. It can change. Nori doesn't always see the whole picture. Don't judge Bella too harshly for her actions in Part I. She is a strong character who will be seen as good later on.

I swear I'm not trying to call anyone out! I only wanted to clear up any confusion or questions. I have already planned many twists and turns in this story. It's going to cover the last 3 books, so there will be plenty of time for characters to hate each other, make up, fall in love, fall out of love, imprint, fight imprints, turn into vampires, fight vampires, travel, and maybe even eat some pizza together ... lol. The point is, don't judge too harshly until you've read the whole thing c:

I love all of my readers and reviewers. Please, continue to review - even if it's with criticism or questions! I want your input so I can tweak future chapters and make this something everyone will enjoy and reread a thousand times, haha.

Okay, I'm done typing now. Have a lovely day, folks!
