Alrighty. Question and Answer time. I took all of these questions from the reviews that I got but I decided that I don't want to make anyone feel uncomfortable by using names :) (I apologize for any mistakes.. my computer is being dumb...)

I have a question for you. Will you write a sequel about how Edward and Bella are watching over the family because that would be so cool!

lol xD When I first explained the plot to my boyfriend his response was "Well at least you don't have to worry about people begging for a sequel." And I've already gotten people asking xD So here we go.

I fully intend to add another chapter to this story. It's going to be a gushy chapter that will definetly make those of you who are still upset with me happy. Of course, it will be plausible.. so we won't be taking a tour through heaven. I don't want to give a whole lot away right now but it'll be nice (and laid back for once).

For those of you that followed this story from the beginning, I'm sure you all remember the huge lapse in time I took during one of the updates. Well, I still haven't updated my other story from that lapse. My other story, Dark Sky, is going to be continued starting tomorrow, similarly to how I treated this story. Until that is over (which'll take maybe 2 weeks) I'm not starting any other story /

Now, with that said, I've had lots of plots begin to grow in my head. I am definitly Greek when it comes to thinking things up, where I should be Roman and act on it... So please be patient and if you can tolerate my childish attitude on things then check back and I'll post if/when there'll be an addition of some sort. (I like my stories to be plausible so if I do something like you suggested, that'll be quite a challenge for me :) )

omg, she died?? cries hugs edward and carlislewhy didn't/couldn't carlisle change her?

I don't think that I was clear enough in this explanation. None of the vampires were able to change her because the virus has spent 100 years adapting. With that said, the virus has adapted to survive vampire venom. Now that the virus is in her system, it would have fought off the venom. Basically, I needed a reason for her not to be changed and this seemed almost plausible if you look at it scientifically because viruses and diseased do adapt. (And if it isn't plausible.. just let me think that it is please xD)

So that's why Carlisle didn't change her.

hey i am very mad at you...why did bella have to die?why?

sigh When I first started this story many, many weeks ago one of my thoughts were- how can I make this a story that is believable? I came to the conclusion after writing the preface that she would have to die. If Bella didn't die, how would I write that?

But I could hear her heart beats slowing.

But then they got faster and she got better!

There would be no way to make the story flow without her dying. I assure you, I was near tears writing the chapter.

SHE WAS GETTING BETTER! AND THEN YOU KILL HER?!?!?!

Yep. She was getting better, but the stress that was put on her after Alice announced that Edward was infected was too much. She was breathing too deeply and her heart was pounding too quickly. Of course, I had to send Edward out of the room so that she had time to think about the implications of him being sick in peace.

How can Carlisle break Eddy's skin with just a needle? Or is it a super-needle?

Well, I honestly had no idea that his skin shouldn't be able to be punctured. I figured that as long as it was ridiculously small and sharp, it should be able to break through skin, he would just heal faster. I still don't have an answer. So you know what, yes, Carlisle invented a super needle xD

wait isnt edward supposed to be immune? how is that possible?

The virus has adapted to venom over the 100 years that it's had to wait. He isn't immune, but he is capable of overcoming it if he drinks lots of blood. That way it gets diluted throughout his system until the antibodies that he receives in the blood is able to kill off all of the virus.

WHY DIDN'T HE KILL JACOB? Is this after Eclipse?

Yes, it's after Eclipse. He said in Eclipse that he would never kill Jacob because then Bella would be sad. Because of the amount of stress he was under and the amount of anger he was feeling, however, he was ready to kill him. He could have, too. But then he realized what was going on and was able to gain his self control. (not before getting bitten, however.)

why did you kill off edward?!

It was the only plausible thing to do. If Bella had been taken away from him then in your opinion, what would have done? Alice was able to monitor the Volturi, but she wasn't capable of watching who fell victim to the Flu because of the involvement of the wolves. Rosalie and Emmett were the only ones at home with him and they didn't know that he was sick.

To be honest, I didn't come up with him dying until after Jacob bit him on the shoulder. I even went back and add to Embry the "You're still sick!" and then rewrote the ending. In the original end, Edward is miserable (duh) when he gets visited by dead Bella. I found that too ridiculous, however, knowing that he still wouldn't be okay about her death. I, for the most part, hold no regrets for killing Edward.

Even after changing the ending once, I revised it yet again. I didn't add that last bit from Edward's POV until a reviewer said something like "Bring Bella back! or at least make them together!". At that point I loved the ending (there was a little more than just Alice burning the note), but I knew that it wouldn't sit well with readers so the idea of them being together in heaven came to me. I'm not sure if I wrote that section well enough.. but I had written it about five minutes before it came out so all things considered, no regrets there (although I did get a cyber slap xD).

if venom cant save you from the flu, then how is edward alive?

He will die if he doesn't feed nearly every day. If he feeds everyday then the blood from the animals is now inside of his body, along with their antibodies that fight off diseases. Because he has a constant amount of antibodies coming into his body, he can fight off the virus.

how come edward and bella died of the flu, yet jacob survives?

There was an 83 percent chance of death (made that number up on the spot when I wrote the summary...) so luck just had it that Jacob survived. There really is no specific reason. He's strong and was lucky enough to be in the 17 percent that live. Sry :P

What happened with Jacob?

... so I'm not very good at keeping secrets.. but just know that you'll learn in the epilogue (I'll learn how to spell Epilogue by then ;) )

Thank you for all of the reviews :) This was definitly a hard story to write and I'm grateful beyond reason to all of you that spent the time writing reviews to me :) There were so many twists in the story that it was hard for even me to keep track of and stick with so I'm grateful to those of you that asked a question as well. I hope that some of you stick with my writing, and I hope that the hours of reading this story were worth it :)Thank you!
