I hope I confused everyone by changing my pen name! :D I wrote a story called, "Musings of a Shaken Mind" and afterwards thought it would be kind of cool to have that as a pen name. I mean, admit it, it's pretty awesome... and I've Becky Scarlett (-Cullen added later) for more than a year now. I'll still sign stuff off as Becky, I guess. And chances are, it'll be changed back fairly soon... but for now, this is it. :)

Also: Can we reach 700 reviews? That's only, like... 5. I mean really, with the amount I've been getting lately... it's not going to be hard.


Date: 11th January

Character: Emmett

Stimulus: Sense ii: Touch


Everything I touch seems utterly fragile. Unbearably so. I have to treat everything with utter care and precision, because not only am I a Vampire—I'm also the strongest Vampire.

I am forced to tiptoe around things. Briefly, when Edward left Bella, I was glad—no longer did I have to treat her as if she were a soap bubble. The relief lasted for approximately ten seconds, before I sank down, into the depression that already had much of my family in its grip.

Like the tension in the air. It is almost palpable. Like I once had to tiptoe around Bella, I now have to tiptoe around everyone else's feelings. The whole house stays silent for hours at a time, with all of us in mourning for what we have lost. To break the silence would be utterly disrespectful, and so we do not.

We honour her memory, as if she were dead.


I love Emmett as a character, I really do. And I've written a lot of CrackEmmett which, although fun, I find obscenely hard to write. And Emmett isn't actually half as bad as I make him. He's serious every so often. Tell me what you think?
