Excellent chapter!  I especially liked the scenes with Edward and his family as they confronted him about what had happened.  Fantastic job!

UGH - FUCKING WEREWOLF!! :-@

glad they finally got throughto him.  going back to schol is going to be really tough iI think.

I do hope to see Bella getting better. Showing strength and not letting others bring her down. I also would really like to see her embracing getting married. Maybe a little fine with Edward like learning howto dance for the wedding? I always thought she shoud have learned in the book. Good chatper.

Meh - trying to bore a scientist is like trying to make a Quileute feel full!! :-P I'm a trainee Zoologist myself.... :-)

Hi Lisa :) Wow, where do I begin? There's so much I want to say, it's overwhelming, lol, in a good way dont worry! First of all, I have to say you are insanely talented!!! I really believe on top of your Chemical Engineering, (very impressive btw, congrats!) you should write a novel of your own. it would be a shame if you didn't. You are wonderfully talented, you draw readers immediately into the world you created, your words are beautiful. I cant tell you how many times I shed a tear from reading a chappie or got choked up. That to me dear is amazing writing. I admit when I first saw this story on here I was skeptical to read it honestly because of the subject content. It really hitsclose to home for me as I'm a victim myself. But then something told me to read it, give it a try and Im so glad i did! Because hun you handle the subject matter beautifully. Because despite the horror of what Bella went thru, overall this story truly is about the healing power of love. My God your Edward is this, I just dont have the words, the tender way he is with Bella, how he selflessly and beautifully helps her through it all, just blows me away.

What I also enjoy is that there were also sweet, funny moments too. Personally I dont mind the repetitive POVS, because I enjoy getting into Edwrads head, finding out what he goes through during this sad ordeal. So now we get to where Jacob is finally out of her life. Damn I have to tell you, you threw us all for a loop, I didnt see that coming regarding Tanya, great job! What a witch. Damn though I'm glad Jacob is finally gone. But of course it will still take plenty of time for Bella to heal and honestly she will never really heal from it but she can start living her life agian, breathe easier, sleep better. Since she has Edward, the Cullens and Charlie, they will of course help her through it. I really look fwd to the next chapter, where the journey goes. But school comes first and again congrats! I will try to review more often, sorry I havent as of late. But i had to finally and tell you what I think :) Take care and ttys, Leslie

Hi

I would like to say first, Congradulation on your degree..  Good luck.  That is way important then your Lovly story here.  I know I will be waiting.  You are right thinks don't become peachy and roses over night.  But they do over time with love and understanding.  Edward will never forgive himself it is not in him. but he will love Bella and be happy.  He will just but it away in the closet.  haha.  has they say.    Awesome chapter.  Have a great night Smiles Leona

It's nice to see Bella relax a bit knowing that Jacob won't be coming back for her.  I'm glad Edward hasn't totaly freaked out over seeing so vividly what Jake did to Bella.  I was afraid he would be more standoffish.  I love that he told Charlie he wanted to kill Jake.  I knew the father in Charlie would totallly appreciate that.

I love the thought of Renee staying at the Cullen house.  That could be very entertaining :)

thanks awsome chapte

Poor Edward! How will they ever handle school?!

sam is lucky edwatd didnt do worse.  hope seth is ok. tanya got off easy too.

I did NOT see that coming! Any of it - Tanya as his accomplice. Makes great sense when you put her in a villain role and also at an impasse. I really thought, for a minute, that you might kill Edward (NO!, right?). I mean, logically, I didn't think you'd do that, but still, you built up great suspense that I thought you might! Then the fight - I was really glad that you resolved Jacob the way you did. It took the pressure off of both sides and you were very in character for the pack and Carlisle about their wanting to resolve in a more humane matter. At the same time, I think the reader wanted him dead more than Edward and Bella combined. Bravo!

Totally AWESOME!! Can't wait for more!

I was definitely not disappointed with this chapter.

I didn't even think about Tanya helping Jake.  Nice little twist there.  Of course I have to wonder what the hell was she thinking.  Edward would have never given her a second glance especially since she helped Jake.  I wonder how the rest of the Denali coven will react to Tanya's betrayal.

I understand that the wolves wanted to strip Jake of his powers but I'm pissed that they would attack without the explanation that Jake was about to kill Bella.  Hello, in my opinion that is enough to drop the whole strip his powers plan and let Edward kill him.  It's the better outcome that he killed himself but I know Edward would have loved the vengence of doing it himself.

Oh yeah, there is definitely a lot of story left to go.  I'm glad you aren't going to rush it and say "Jakes dead and they live happily ever after".  I read a story once where Bella was beaten and raped but never received therapy and had no issues at all with men touching her, etc.  That was just so unrealistic I had to stop reading.  Thanks for not treating us readers like idiots and giving us a real story.

Epic!  Excellent!  Very exciting and well done!

Although I would have liked to have seen Edward fool Tanya into letting her guard down. 

Great job!

I see Jacob took the cowards way out, but at least the fight stopped. Luckly Edward got a few minutes of torture in too. Bella got a single hit that saved her life, Go Em for teaching her that.

FINALLY JACOB'S DEAD!!! and tanya being destroyed is an added bonus. good work :)

So there was a fight or simply the rain.

Jake should have been killed he was a supernatural being with a criminal inclination.

YIKES!! Jacob needs his butt handed to him!!!

You're torturing me with these chapter endings! lolBella isn't going to get kidnapped or hurt or anything? Same goes for Edward lol It'd kill me a little bit on the inside because your story is amazing :)

Yes - you warned us..... But ZOGGIN'. 'ELL!! That was depressing. DAMN depressing!!

Q. Doe the Treaty cover murder WIHOUT biting?! 'Cause if not, I'm going out shopping for sniper rifles - and THREE GUESSES who I'm gonna shoot?! :-@

awsome chapter thanks

Bella needs to let Edward do what he does best. Edward needs to call his family now.

I just knew all Bella would have to tell Renee is that she needed her mom and she would be there as fast as she could.  I'm sorry but there are some things you just need your momma for and this situation definitely is one of those.  I think she can help Bella so much more than she realizes.

I'm afraid to know who Jacob has with him.  I can only see Edward being worried if they are humans with him if there are just too many.

I'm just wondering how this will work out.  I know that Alice won't be able to see any of the Cullens' futures who are meeting with the wolves.  If I understand her gift correctly then she would still be able to see Edward and Bella's as long as they don't interact with the wolves.  If that is the case then she would know the moment Jacob decided to go after them then their futures would've disappeared and she would know what is happening.  Of course if she is too concerned with the pack and not watching for B&E then that could cause a problem.

What a cliffie to leave us with.  Can't wait for the next update.

I haven't read this chapter yet since I am at work, I just know I will love it but I wanted to share a song that is perfect for bella with you.

It's like a storm
That cuts a path
It breaks your will
It feels like that
You think you're lost
But you're not lost on your own,
You're not alone

I will stand by you,
I will help you through
When you've done all you can do
and you can't cope
I will dry your eyes,
I will fight your fight
I will hold you tight
and I won't let go

It hurts my heart to see you cry
I know its dark this part of life
Oh it find us all and we're to small
to stop the rain
Oh but when it rains

I will stand by you,
I will help you through
When you've done all you can do
and you can't cope
I will dry your eyes,
I will fight your fight
I will hold you tight
and I won't let you fall

Don't be afraid to fall
I'm right here to catch you
I won't let you down
It won't get you down
You're gonna make it
I know you can make it

Cause I will stand by you,
I will help you through
When you've done all you can do
and you can't cope
I will dry your eyes,
I will fight your fight
I will hold you tight
and I won't let go

Oh I'm gonna hold you
and I won't let go
Won't let you go
No I won't

what do you think? Its I won't let go by Rascal Flatts.

Good update!!

I feel better knowing none of the pack are helping Jake.  I never expected him to resort to hiring human cirminals.  He really has lost it.  I would think he's been stealing money.  I would bet that he is sticking closer to home than he's trying to let on.

I can totally see how knowing self defense would help Bella's peace of mind.  If she'd had those simple techniques at her disposal she might have escaped Berruti without stitches.  Seeing how terrified she is to be alone in a room the self defense should definitely help with that feeling.

It was nice to see her not feel threatened by Emmett.  I was worried she might panic while he was teaching her.  At least with the dummies, etc he was able to teach her without having to put her in a hold or anything.

I love how Em found a way to help Bella. He is so sweet. I felt so bad for edward when Bella was bleeding.

thanks as always awsome chapter

Ok now I'm realy curios about who grabbed our beloved Bella. I hope that you'll update soon so the secret will be revealed. Love it. :)

Oh my god..  You are so mean..  I can't believe you left a cliffhanger like that..  I almost jump out of my seat.   Your awesome.  To be honest I'm not sure who has her.  Maybe Jessica.  She is a witch. 

Thank you so much for your comment back from the last review.  I love leaving reviews.  I 'm never mean or say bad stuff.  I do ask questions if I think they are a little hard on one charter and it's both of them.  But I like your story.  Your true to there charters.  Love it..  Smiles Leona

ugh how could you be so evil for that cliffhanger! love the story though :)

OO no! Who has her and why are they covering her mouth up? Good chapter.

You describe it all so well.

Author's Response:

Thank you so much. It means a lot!

If its the bathroon, gotta be Lauren and/or Jessica.

Sorry Sam but gotta disagree with you.   Going human isnt right since he wasnt human when he did it.

Very well written.

Author's Response:

Thank you very much!

Hi

I love your story. It is very sad, But can see the love that Edward has for Bella.. he woriships the ground she walks on.  unconditional love.  And the love she has for him is unconditional.  It like she needs him to help her. He is her other half.     

I love both pov it is fantastic.  You understand better of the story.  It feels like your a spider in the corner watching there every move.  It beauitful written.   

To be honest I m not sure what they told Edward.  But I'm guessing they saw Jacob.  or   Alice saw somthing is going to happen on there hiking trip. 

Have great weeken.  Smiles Leona

Ps.  I just started yesturday reading your story.  It is awesome..

Can't wait for more!!!

thanks good chapter

I hate rapists.

sure hope charlie is ok.

Jacob is very manipulative so i can totally see him playing with Bella like this.  He'd rather scare her with phone calls and play mind games than show up and face her.  I'm sure he thinks if he can wear her down mentally and emotionally then he will be able to swoop in when the Cullens aren't expecting it and take her away easily because she won't be able to fight him off due to her being too terrified.

I love seeing B&E getting closer.  It breaks my heart to see Edward have to remember not to touch her like he's used to.  I"m sure if Jake knew even Edward sent her into panic attacks sometimes he would be one smug bastard.

I can't wait for the next chapter to see if Jake is being as manipulative as I'm thinking.

thanks good chapter

I think that Jacob is beyond crazy to call the Cullen house. He is just antagonizing all of them now.

My heart breaks for Charlie in this chapter - how sad he is, the decisions he made and his choices. I'm glad that he remembered to put Bella first (I always think Charlie is a great dad that loves Bella fiercly so its nice to read it). The confrontation with Billy was heartbreaking - devastating when he realized the truth.

hmmm my guess is he's threatening charlie since the pack abandoned him with hurting the cullens.

what could go wrong indeed.....    Billy you are an idiot.    Bet her bloody clothes or at least blood are at his house somewhere.

oh my oh my!!

I think the phrase "what could possibly go wrong?" should never be said. It almost always means something will. LOL, I tell my kids and family all the time to never ask that question. I guess I am superstitious. Good chapter.

I'm going crazy with anticipation
