So this is the picture, the best I could get it, of the dress Bella wears to prom in "Breathing." If you want to see the full view, the necklace, and/or Alice's dress, just send me a review with your email and I will send it to you.

My name is Mary. I love reading fanfiction, of all sorts. I have been trying to find a Good Vampire Diaries fic, by L. J. Smith. Becoming sick and tired of looking I was finally propmted to write one myself. I will update infrequently as I lead a very busy life. But I will do my best not to disappoint. Please Read and Review!

So yeah...VD fic temporarily on hold and the twilight fic is on the burner. I am the type of person who can only work on one big project at a time. I love it and more is wirtten than posted so be excited.

So please read my story "Breathing," because it is literally my life. I live and breathe for it. Everything I do revolves around thoughts of it, what a good word I have to use it, thats a great plot idea, etc. My reviews, or sometimes lack there of, influence my mood, I'm on cloud 9, or sad, bc I posted the next chapter like 27 seconds ago why haven't I gotten a review? Until I started writing my own story I never realized how important reviews are, and for all the authors that I never reviewed, good story or bad, I apologize.

I live in Cudahy, Wisconsin, and am a proud alumni of the CHS Marching Band. Hence the penname (guard as in colorguard). I am 20 and engaged to be married to Edward Cullen aka Joseph. I have 3 sisters and 3 brothers, we are like our own little cullen clan with too many girls and we are all really realted so we are not all together. But bc of this, when I wirte different views I pull on Sm works and my own family to create the character. Like my sis caroline is alice, slim, breakable, athletic, but dont you dare get her mad! lol

I am a black belt in karate im studying to be a nurse and i want to hold a miss america title
