IMPORTANT!

There are two important things in the A/N this time. First, the FAQ, thought they were frequently asked and they are like, what, 4? Nevermind, I'll answer for thsoe who ask . AND, an announcement about the next chapters! (DON'T SKIP IT!)

FAQ.

1) Nichole, an anonymus reader, asked me three things:

When is the wedding?

The wedding is placed in Bella's 19th Bday, that is 13th September, and it's two weeks for that when Edward proposes (31st August). And this chapter and the next few are placed on Sunday, 2nd September :)

Will Jacob fight or not?

Jacob's position is very difficult at the moment. Bella is a vampire, which is supposed to be his worst enemy, so his instincts tell him to hate her. BUT, he is in love with Bella - he cannot hurt her. She is the most important thing for him in the whole world. So he doesn't want to fight. Not at all. But Sam is his leader, and obviously Sam makes him fight, wether he wants it or not. So in the end - yes, Jacob will fight, though against his will. But you'll get some surprises! ;3

At this point in the story is Edward sorry that there is a fight with the werewolves? I mean is he happy about the fight that will happen or is he afraid of what the outcome will be
for the sake of bella?

Well, Edward doesn't exactly love the werewolves - but he knows that hurting any of them, even Jared or Paul, will hurt Bella. And it will totally KILL her if he hurt (?) Bella would DIE, and the worse part is that in the midst of the fight he knows he will not be able to resist hurting Jacob - his enemy. Because of Bella, of course. But if you're intelligent you will remember something very important from New Moon... ;)

2) From ridiculouskopec -

Why can't, she just leave and then everything be okay? Make a new treaty? Never to come back?

That sounds easy, doesn't it? But think about this - the werewolves want the vampires out. And this is their perfect chance. There is no way in which they'll waste their time in new treaties when they can have them off their people. As for Bella leaving...

3) Blissfulmemories asked:

I think its called hello to all the children of the world, rite? Did u learn its a small world, too?!

LOL yeah in second grade, AND I live in Argentina!

MOST IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

Black Rose is reaching an end. There will be no more than seven or eight chapters left. The next few chapters will be short, short, short, because we're getting in the climax of the story - the REAL climax. The good thing is they're short to write, so I'll update fast! But you know, with this HP OOTP thing I'll be more concentrated in another area, so don't be too confident. There will also be starting to be no more A/Ns unless it is very necessary - or the climax and tension will be ruined. These chapters that come will be the ones where everything gets mixed up - even New Moon. So:

Be Prepared, And Enjoy The Beginning Of The End Of Black Rose.

'I'll give you three seconds to drop that dress and leave my room,' Alice threatened Sophie from her room's door, 'One – two –'

'Oh, don't be such a killjoy,' Sophie laughed, stretching Alice's black dress more, 'I just love looking at your clothes. You're so... into the latest fashion.'

Alice marched to the closet, closed it loudly and snatched the dress from the other vampire.

'If you don't mind, we're in the middle of a war, and it would be nice if you could just leave so I can work,' Alice said between gritted teeth, staring furiously at Sophie. She just smirked.

'I think the only war here is the one between you and your hair,' she said, grabbing a hand mirror and placing it in front of her. 'See?' she asked eagerly.

'Actually, I don't,' Alice said coldly staring into a reflectionless mirror. She took the mirror from Sophie's hands and placed it where it had been a few seconds before. 'Now, leave!'

'Oh, don't worry, I'll leave,' Sophie said, playing with one of her perfect black curls, 'But not before you tell me something. Is it true Edward has never...?'

'Leave this room!' Alice said striding towards her enemy in pure fury and loathe.

'But I'm not surprised, seeing what kind of girl he's marrying...!' Sophie continued while Alice pushed her from her back to the door. It snapped shut as Sophie laughed eagerly.

'What was all that screaming?'

Edward had just appeared coming up the stairs, and was staring at Sophie with a slight frown. Sophie's smile vanished and instead she tried to look as sad as possible.

'Edward, I – I think your sister doesn't like me,' she whispered as he stood by her side.

'No, really?' a voice came from the locked room, 'What ever gave you such idea?'

The boy rolled his eyes and rubbed Sophie's back.

'I'm sorry for how my sister treats you,' he told her calmly, 'She can get... a bit carried away, sometimes.'

Sophie raised her eyebrows.

'A bit?' she asked sarcastically.

'Okay, a bit too, too much.'

'Is it me?' Sophie asked him, gazing at the floor. Edward half-smiled.

'Of course it isn't,' he said, hugging her, 'You're a most beautiful person.'

He felt Sophie go rigid and regretted his words. He would make her feel he felt things he really did not feel.

'Did you... find Bella?' the girl asked cautiously. Instantly, Edward let her go and turned away from her.

'I guess she's at her house,' he whispered. Sophie bit her lip.

'I'm... sorry for what's going on,' she replied in a low voice. Edward shook his head.

'It's not you, Sophie, it isn't,' he smiled tenderly at her again, and then added in a low mutter, 'I think it's me.'

'It isn't you either, Edward, I'm sure of that,' Sophie said standing in front of him and placing her face under his gaze so he would stare at her. 'Edward, you are – you are just marvelous. Perfect. You're sweet... gentle...'

As she spoke, her finger slowly and cautiously traced Edward's hand. The boy felt a shiver – not a shiver of fear or coolness... There was another feeling there, strangely familiar. What was it?

'You are the most wonderful man I've ever met, Edward,' Sophie continued, getting closer to him... Edward looked up from his hand – she was less than an inch away from him, her blue eyes staring intently yet sadly into his. Her black curls framed her face beautifully, and there was a strange urge grow in him to touch her, to hold her, to kiss her – and her red lips were not very far...

'I – I think I love you, Edward.'
