16-17. Author's Note, Apology, & Answers
I am really fucking sorry for the long wait.
I've got this new job that I work long hours on, something I hadn't been doing previously, and it's physical labor. I'm constantly moving, lifting, shoving, scooting, and throwing. Plus the fact that the house that I live in currently has a wood furnace, so I'm chopping wood and stacking it and fuck if that doesn't tire me out too. So, when I'd come inside to relax, I'd fall asleep really quickly and then sleep like shit because I'm really stressed.
And all my Fanfiction is on my phone right? All the time lines, the pictures, the notes. Even future chapters and my next ten that just needed some editing. Then, I lost my phone. I looked for it everywhere and couldn't find it. It's most likely in my friend's room. Have you seen the show "Hoarders"? That's my friend's room. Luckily she doesn't take food in there because that's disgusting. It's full and filthy and gross and I had to sleep in there one night and haven't seen my phone since.
I would put all my Fanfiction that I had on my computer, which wasn't much, in another folder and forget about it and not want to look at it because it made me kind of depressed. Everything I had was gone.
So I started reading other Fanfiction, mostly Harry Potter because fuck yeah wizards, and putting my own in the back of my mind. If I didn't think about it and everything I had that just needed to be edited, I wouldn't be sad.
Then I opened up my yahoo mail. My yahoo is strictly for Fanfiction. My Fanfiction. Guess who reviewed my work? Geezerwench.
I actually screamed. I'm in the middle of reading 'I Live'. I'm reading 'Smut University 2013'. I read 'Peaches'. I read 'Bodice Ripper'; I read the revamp 'Bodice Ripper Oh Mercy'.
Geezerwench is one of my favorite Twilight Fanfiction authors. Probably just under Nauticalmass, tied with taoist elf, and just above JamesRamsey.
So, due to my absolute shock that Geezerwench, not that you guys aren't great but you're not Geezerwench, not only read my work but reviewed it, I've found a new inspiration to write and hopefully finish this story. And believe me, it's long from over. Plus, I'll be answering reviews today.
01. Immortal Children
Geezerwench (internal screaming of joy) - I'm liking your Emmett. Too many writers make him a complete idiot. He's too much of a great guy for that.
I was trying to write a less idiotic Emmett than what I see so often in Fanfiction and even Twilight sometimes. He's a vampire; a little difficult to be completely stupid and survive, let alone be married to Rosalie.
02. Bite Depot
Geezerwench - She doesn't like humans either?
Actually, no. Bella doesn't like humans, but the link you're referring to was supposed to be an either/or statement. Bella doesn't care for strangers or crowds. She likes to be left to her lonesome, even as a child. Maybe one or two people she's close to nearby, but that's it while she's so young and instinctual.
05. Seven Years
Geezerwench - I'm a little confused as to Bella's parents.
Yes, Charles (Charlie Swan actually) and Renee are Bella's parents. Joham actually discovered Charles when he was looking for a new woman to impregnate. Immediately, he thought about breeding said child with either himself or his son if it was a girl, or his loyal daughter, Serena, if it was a boy. Unfortunately for Renee, Joham killed Charles and stole her away within the last couple weeks of pregnancy.
07. Chevy
Geezerwench - What six vampires are part of the Cullen Coven?
Well, Esme and Carlisle still consider Emmett and Rosalie part of their "Family", plus their new addition. So, that's Carlisle, Esme, Edward, Rosalie, Emmett, and Bella. None of the McCarty's agree with that, only thinking of themselves as acquaintances.
08. New Jersey
Geezerwench - They haven't had sex? WTH?
No, they hadn't. Rosalie had been raped and beaten to what should have been her death, and almost immediately afterwards she was put through the pain of turning. So, I think the idea of sex for her, at least in this, would have been terrifying. Say you just had sex, sex you did not consent to and were beaten badly, and were then put through three days of what felt like you were burning alive. Sex would seem painful. Although, in this, Rosalie and Emmett did try a few times, she would break down, crying. They love each other greatly, but she was just too frightened. It took her about forty years to get over her fear. It's called PTSD. It took Emmett years to help her psyche understand that sex would not always equal pain. Just because she rationally understood that Emmett would never hurt her, that doesn't stop instincts.
So Peter already knows Bella's name?
It's the "Just Knowing Shit" gift the fandom gave Peter. He just knows this random piece of information. He doesn't know why it's important or why he knows, but he just knows.
09. Salivate
Geezerwench - Wow. Possessive thing, isn't she? I don't think you explained why she likes biting so much.
Honestly, I'm not certain if I explained this in a future chapter or not. Bella is, at this time unknowingly, a coven leader. They feel the need to rule and dominate their coven mates quite strongly. However, even before this, my vampires feel the need to 'mark' what is 'theirs'. Biting them and pumping the venom in lives their scent, something distinctly their own, and lets other vampires know that they really need to fuck off or there will be repercussions. It's most common among mates, as you only get the one. It's fairly common among close knit covens. Ones that have been established a long time and have gone through a great deal of tribulation together. I'd say they just went through some tribulation. When Bella was a child, she was claiming Emmett as hers as well, but through a parental relationship.
She's hearing voices? She doesn't want Jasper? Well she hasn't seen him yet.
The 'voices' is Peter's 'gift'. She also doesn't want Jasper mostly due to pride. The mating bond on her part has already been formed since he was underneath her shield and aware of his presence, though unaware of him being her mate. Eventually she'll get over that pride and regret not having had gone after him.
Oh! I like your chapter titles, too!
Thanks! I probably spend more time thinking up the chapter titles than I do plotting. I try to have the title all about the chapter without giving too much away. Like, I don't want the chapter to be called, "In Which Bella Destroys An Entire Coven And Gains Another Member to Her Own." That would give so much away. Instead, I might call it by a name given to her by vampires that saw what she did and escaped, like, "Bellona," after the Roman goddess of War.

Marukawa - Will Bella be attending high school?
At this time, I think not; I just think that this Bella is far too busy to even entertain the idea.
Dgfleetfox - While I appreciate reading about them in the passing of the years… I wish you included more historical events relevant to each decade, or even had them interact with people in each place… it could have been so interesting.
Yes, I had thought about that, but at the time I didn't have internet and any chance I had with it was mostly dedicated to uploading chapters and fixing little details. I just didn't feel comfortable writing about a major event when I couldn't research it properly or might get times confused. Wouldn't it suck if I wrote about WWI a decade later than it happened?
11. Rules
helikesitheymikey - wow… poor Bella…
I answered a lot of this already when I responded to your actual review privately. I already fixed the errors with those bios and whatnot too.
14. Misery
Geezerwench - Five years? He hasn't had sex in five years? Holy shit.
Well, you have to remember to a vampire that time is relative, especially to one that's at the moment, one and one quarter centuries old. Five years to Jasper might be five months to a human, or it could seem like fifty years. For a vampire it all deals with their state of mind. In misery, it could seem endless; in ecstasy, it could seem fleeting.
15. Out of Commission
helikesitheymikey - So…
Like before, I know I did answer this privately through the review. But, I don't think I answered the bit about Alice. Yes and no. First off, no because Alice wasn't bonded to Tanya through her visions. Yes, because she did feel sick since she did instinctively know that was her mate. If she was already bonded to Tanya and saw the visions of what Tanya was doing, yes she would have gone through the same thing, but she wasn't.
16. Clan
Geezerwench - Joham and Serena! They deserve whatever Bella does to them. Hard telling how many hybrids they've made.
I agree on Joham's part, but not Serena's. She was raised a very sheltered life to believe what Joham wanted her to believe. He raised her to be an extremist to his plight. It's like, if you raise a child to think the color orange is actually called blue, could you blame that kid for thinking the name of that color is blue? She thought what they were doing was right because he loved her mother and loves him when it's all been lies. All he's ever done to her is lie to her and manipulate her to do his bidding. She doesn't know any different than how he raised her to be.
Ending Author's Notes: I'll try to begin updating again
I have a tumblr; there is a link to the blog for this story on my profile. It has pictures and links to stuff. Just look under the 'Extras' tab or the sidebar.
Review! Please?
