This si the one area where EPOV falls HUGELY short.  Having a story from only one POV always leaves holes, as we don't know exactly what is going on or what others are thinking.  Since Edward stalks Bella we do get to see a lot of what she does when not with Edward but we don't know her thoughts.

BUT her therapy will be difficult.  i can't show it all, I can't even show most of it.  But will see progress and I will make a point of having her talk to Edward about things.   many people have expressed interest in seeing her therapy so I will try to show as much as I can!

thank you!

LOL everyone was ready and neededa  light chapter.  Seriously, enough angst already!  The coming chapters should be pretty angst free.  I mean there is slight tension but really not much. Bella's healing now, well trying to. Glad you liked the convo.  Edward didn't pull any punches and got out what he needed to.  Hiding or tip toeing won't help Bella, she needs straightforward and open.

Declarations of love.  LMAO it only took 33 chapters huh?  I said it would come, I just never said when!  I could have dragged it out longer if you had wanted. 

Bella does need the therapy and it will be good for her.  I'm not saying there won't be huge bumps int he road or that it will all be sunshine and smiles, she's repressed and avoided to much for that to happen, but in the end it will be good.!

I'm glad you like the answers (HUGS) I, of course, will chat with one of my fav reviewers!!!

I'm glad you liked the chapter.  I am not updating weekly right now.  I will be updating everyother week.  i know i'm mean!  sorry!

I'm glad you're liking it.

thank you soooooo much that you care enough to tell me.  I am sooooo bad with grammar.  I actually have a new beta that is going though chapter by chapter doing a HUGE grammar overhall for me.  I just have been bad and havent' updated the proper updated chapters here or on FF.  I SUCK at tense I've learned and I am working on it.  Now the Use and Used I will make a conserted effort to look at.  Thank you!

Seriously thank you!

your review made me smile and I did a real fist pump!!  I love it when my readers get where I am going and are soooo in touch with the characters, which you obviously are.  Thank you!!!!  I'm fan girl gush right now!

thank you!

LMAO!  yeah most people are wanting a Vullen kiling spree!  Honestly I would LOVE to lay on a couch adn tell Jasper my darkest secrest!1  *SIGH*

LMFAO!!!!!   I will pass teh suggestion on the Emmett and Rose!! I'll see what they can do!

true, she did ddrug ehr, but didnt' physically bind her or rape her.  lol I could be wrong as honeslty I haven't studied law. 

Most readers would like ot hear that Bree died from to much butt sex with a guard.  I might find a way to put that in!  We'll see!

I promise, she will get the help she needs, I promised a fully healed Bella, and I will deliver!!!  Edward would kill me if I didn't!

:)  dont' feel to badly, I purposly didn't leave enough clues for people to piece the story together.  There was enough to make guesses but not really enough to figure much out.

I have both of your questions answered and will post tomorrow!  Thanks1

Thanks for reading, I know it was difficult.

Rose kissed Emmett and told him she would be right back. As she came up to my room she was already thinking to me. "I know that had to be hard for you to hear Edward, but you really blew it!"

Huh? What was she talking about?  I didn’t do anything?
Rose came in and saw the confusion on my face. "Don’t look confused. You did nothing for Bella. You gave her no comfort!"

“What do you mean?” I asked. “I was holding her the whole time! Giving her every comfort I could!” I was livid at the accusation that I hadn’t been there for Bella. Of course I had.
Don’t get pissed at me. Tell me oh supportive one.  In all the rounds of hugs and comforting what did you say to Bella?

I searched through my memory trying to figure out what I’d said that had Rose so mad. As I searched the reason for Rose’s anger became apparent. I hadn’t said anything to Bella the entire time. I was so focused on not blowing up I didn’t speak to her. I wasn’t a total failure, I had given her strength through my touch, but I couldn’t believe I hadn’t spoken one word to her. I cursed myself for the idiot I was.

"I see you got it.  Listen it isn’t the end of the world but tomorrow when she wakes up you had better start sucking up! Seriously, she needs to know you don’t hate her, blame her, or think less of her."

Honestly he is falling apart but is soooo focused on helping Bella that's what's keeping him going and sane. I sooo wish i had an Edward!  then again maybe I shouldn't wish for a blood drinking stalker . . . I need to think about this.

Angst master???  Dang that's a pretty cool title!!!

LOL there is a LONG line forming right now of people wanting to kill!!!!   I'll be sure to give your name to Emmett!!!

Shockingly no one has said to me, good chapter loved it.  LOL Not expecting warm fuzzies next week either, though I am hopefully for chapter 33 to get them back.

Do rooms like that exist?  Yeah they do.  They are rare, they are not the norm but they do exist. 

You are right on many levels with why Bella doessn't want them dead.  It really would be too much for her, she is a gentle soul, always has been, always will be, killing in her name would break her more than she is, and right now she is slowly on the road to healing.

the Cullens know that Bella shared what she could but that there were pieces left out.  They have questions, in many cases questions Bella can't answer.  their looking let's them get answers and help her. Especailly Jasper who will be acting as a psychologist for her.  He needs to know what happened, He of course would share with the others.

Bella has not been on the suicide mission for a while.  Edward doesn't know that because they haven't taked about it and Alice isn't looking in her future. She hasn't thought about it or made a specific decision but she no longer has that need.  Edward already has given her enough to want to keep living.

betray her how?  I don't plan on anyone betraying her. If you're talking about Emmett, Rose or Edward killing without her knowing?  no they won't.

lol, well I admit, that is a good question,  I think it's rock like but still smooth so it wouldn't bust fabric I guess

Thank you!  i can't wait for the Cullens to help heal her!  I love them all soooo much!!!!

I am sooo confused, I thought I'd responded to your review. Sorry that I didn't!

The connection is indeed stronger.  I had been talking to people telling them the connection would be more and they kept telling me they had no clue how that'd be possible.  Now you can see it.  Yes Edward was dedicated to her before this and loved her without knowing it but now it is sooooo much more since he's admited to it and embraced it.

Yeah kill Edward is an understantment.  It is going to be a very difficult trial.  I won't say he doesn't everything right in his responce and reactions, but he won't blow it that badly either.  Honestly for him he does really well.

(HUGS) I'm so sorry you have such a troubled past.  I can only imagine the horrible things that have happened to you and I hope that you've found peace and a way to deal with it all though I know that is incredibly hard.  Thank you for reading and i truly hope the next chapters don't cause you to have triggers of any kind.

you NEED to read them.  ok.  I will be sure to post them.  :) 

I know.  Next Tues it will be here, I'm trying really hard, I promise!!!

yes, you're right.  Bella is not nearly as "blocked" to her emotions as Edward was.  She isn't facing the same denial. That doesn't mean she doesn't have struggles to face with him but denial isn't one of them.

you aren't alone, trust me, pleanty of people are a little nervous about next chapter, none more than Edward!!!!

I plan on updating Tues as normal next week. I was talked into an early update today!

Thanks, I'm glad your are proud of Bella and Edward. It was a rough two weeks and they aren't through it yet, but things will slow down soon!  I hope!!

Thanks for the review, here's a tease for next chapter.  Don't hurt me!

Emmett spoke up. “Will she be ok Carlisle?”

He nodded. “She should be fine. She’s dehydrated, and has lost a lot of weight.  From the look of it she hasn’t slept and it looks like her body just gave out. It happens to people that push themselves past the point . . . “

Carlisle cut off when Esme gasped and Rose called out, “What the fuck!”

I had been avoiding the thoughts of the women to give Bella as much privacy as I could, but immediately I saw what they had seen.  I shot off the couch yelling. “What kind of sick sadist did that? What happened to her?”

I started pacing and was growling. Jasper put a hand on my arm to calm me.  I wrenched away from him. “Leave me alone!”

He didn’t take offense but spoke in a calm voice. “Talk to me brother. What did you see? What happened to Bella?  Is she ok?”

I tugged at my hair. “Yes, no, I don’t know. She’s . . . marked.” I couldn’t bring myself to say more.

Emmett came up to me. “What’d you me marked?”

I swallowed and put my hands on my hips trying to get the vision out of my head, but it was burned there and would never leave.

“On her stomach . . . it looks like she was cut with a knife . . . multiple times . . .” I took a deep breath.  I couldn’t even say it.

Carlisle spoke. “What else son?”

I looked at him and whispered, “Someone branded the word ‘MINE’ over it.”

Thank you, Edward will explain the mating thing, not right away but he will.  Her reaction?? you'll have to see!!

Thank you for the kind words as well.  My mom had her other knee replaced last year and di much better.  This leg was worse and they needed to do more invasive things to fit the knee, and then she feel in the hospital which wretched everything.  She's doing much better now so hopfully she's past the worst!

Thanks for the review!  Here's a tease for next week:

I hadn’t been off the phone with Bella for long when I heard Emmett and Jasper coming up to get me for a hunting trip.  I groaned before they made it to my room calling out, “I went hunting with Carlisle yesterday! I don’t need to hunt again.”

“Get up brother! I don’t care if you went hunting. We need manly brother time together. Now that you’re admitting to being mated we need to make sure you’re not going to fuck with our little sister! So get up and get moving!” Emmett bellowed as he plowed into my room.

“Language” Esme called up the stairs.

Emmett smiled. “See, that’s why we need to have this conversation elsewhere.  Don’t need to upset the ‘rents.”

I rolled my eyes. “Seriously, Emmett, can’t you say parents, or better yet Esme and Carlisle? Or the best idea, ignore it all and leave me alone!”

Jasper interrupted before Emmett and I bickered and nothing got accomplished. “Just come with us Edward.  We want to talk to you about a few things. I promise to keep Emmett in line.” As much as I can. He finished.

Tracey those are great questions. 

it is sad they're apart and I wish I could say all will be ok, but alas it isn't all ok, but I promise to make the pain quick!!  does that help??

OUCH!!! Those are some hard quesstions you have for the boy!!! you obviously want him thinking huh.  I will pass them along.

Bella will be reuinited with Edward in chapter 30.  So one more chapter of them apart, but I warn you , next chapter, isn't pretty!

I'm glad you like Rose.  I gave her a reason to like Bella and treat her better.  Now she will be agaisnt turning Bella, as is canon but she doens't hate Bella as a person, which, i agree is nice!!!!

Carlisle did save the day by making Edwar think.  gggrrrr for a smart vamp, he's an idiot!!!

I smiled. I was mated, to Bella. I let the idea sit with me and I felt lighter and happier just thinking of it. I was mated to Bella.  The phrase played over and over in my head. The more I thought on it the more obvious it was and I felt like the biggest idiot for not seeing it sooner.  Bella was my mate and I loved her. How could I have not seen it?  I loved Bella. Now that I considered the idea I wanted to kick myself for not realizing sooner.

Yeah poor Bella.   She made a huge step asking for that kiss. To bad Edward is always sporting wood adn she was stratteled on his lap.  So yeah, ended badly but not horrid. It was important that Edward plant that seed that he can be with her and be excited sexually and still not harm her and that he could freak her out and still calm her. 

Her going to that trial alone.  *sigh*  It is horrible that she's there alone but she needs to be.  She wasn't ready to open up yet and the Cullen's shouldn't find out her history from the newspapers.  Plus this time away will make both of them realize what they mean to each other and will let them move forward.  That's also important.

I agree with you on the lemons but wanted to check with my readers.

Bella is very worried and truthfully it's hard to say at this point if she would be more freaked telling Edward everything before the trial and dealing with his anger and everything or being on her own.  I do know this, their being apart is very important for them both, this will show them that they can't be apart and they need each other.

I agree with you on the lemons!

Thank you!  You are the voice of reason.  I've had a few people ask if he'll be foloowing her, and he can't cause she would know!  you got it!!!

Well I said THIS trial wasn't about rape, she was in 3 other trials previously and one more to come, they all dealt with rape.  This specific one doesn't, does that help or make it worse????

SERIRIOUSLY does your husbadn read this???  or do you tell him about it???  I gotta know!!!!

Thanks on the lemons.  I agree with you.  I would never put a lemon in so that there was a lemon, but in thsi case I think that Lemons are important to show the progress that they are both making in their relaionship.  I had planned some lemons but wanted to see what my readers thought before going ahead with them.

I will say this, Bella's parents were normal and loving and didn't place anything bad thoughts in her head. Everything that made her who she is today came from 2 horrible nights of her life a few days apart from each other. It is hard to make a normal loving girl be that afraid of touch, but a few horrid things can do it, she'll be sharing her story in about 4 chapters I think,

In some ways it would be better if someone went with in others worse.  They both need this time apart to get how much they need each other and to move to the next level.  It will be good, I promise!!!

yep, but I won't let emo Eddie stay to long!

LOL he's a 13 year old girl?!?!?!?!  I'm  scared to ask why!  But yeah the kiss, *sigh*

you are soooo right.  All the Cullen's will be talking to and have a part in helping Bella.  Teh Rose thing is hard.  Edward won't be around when Rose talks to Bella so it won't be shown but, yes, she will be important to Bella's recovery and will be a major playing in helping her.

yeah, they were both soooooo clueless about the kissing.

Bella isn't purposly mean but she also doesn't want her secrect known, so that was all she could come up with.  Alice is freaken a bit, she's never had her visions taken from her like that and she worries over Bella.

The cat is out of its perverbial bag!  the convo isn't to bad, Hope you slept well and don't get in trouble at work!

unfortunatly it will take a while. He's hopelessly clueless
