Be'lah comes up with unusual solutions when threatened, unpredicted reactions could be what makes the difference in a fight. How will she act towards Ehd Wyrd now that Alyss clued her in?

Succeed or die - no pressure.

They're running out of time, indeed. How to undo the curse without giving in to marriage?

Of all the things running through Bella's mind asking Ehd Wyrd about his feelings has taken priority - astounding! I didn't expect Alyss to sprout wings, but it's fitting. I'm glad M was willing to share his story. Bella needs to know if she's indeed the person to fulfill the prophesy.

Oooh, bronze and green. The pale leech in Be'lah's dream commands a black dragon. Maybe she was right all the time and the dragons-eat-virgins-myth is just that - a myth - and there's hope that Alyss isn't dead after all .... or I'm being overly optimistic.

For an initiate Be'lah seems to be quite resourceful, even if she couldn't save Alyss. To me the leeches are the greater danger than the dragons. If they suck the life-force out of every living thing, why don't they destroy the dragons that way?

Oh, please, please, make him ditch Tanya! She wasn't  even looking at him when he came home, texting away to God knows who. Maybe her plan B? She was so rude to Rosalie, she needs to go. Everybody else noticed he was away, didn't Tanya? I'm curious about Edward's secret project.

I think Edward did well and Tanya showed again that she's not just a mean, cheating liar, but also dumb. Edward should take her threat seriously, he provided her with a comfortable life she won't want to give up without a fight. If she was not following him she might have been at the clinic to get tested herself or worse because she's pregnant from whoever.  As to Edward's leg, I think he was injured badly and now has a big scar or a prosthetic leg. Edward needs some Bella-sighting and some of her delicious baked-goods.

sprinkleofpixiemacic - I like, she's agreat friend, but don't let her burn the band-t-shirts. It's good to see Bella's awesome cupcakes get the attention they deserve.

I'm glad you're back. Alice is pushing too hard. She made Bella cry and doesn't feel an ounce of remorse. I know how to drive a stick-shift, because they're the most common in Germany. Driving-lessons with Edward is something Bella can look forward to, the car is a gem.

The queen was very intent on getting the travellers to the castle and T'lar is adamant he and Alyss are destined to get married. I wonder what they really want to accomplish. T'lar's info is as unreliable as any fairies.

The complete prophesy desn't sound very promising, the prospect of being changed by an abundance of magic is scary. At least they are together.

T'lar and Bree would be the perfect king and queen for a reunited kingdom. Couldn't Alyss and Bree get a hold of J'syka's powerful crown somehow?

It would be great to just pit the two horrible fairy-queens against each other to duke it out without anymore collateral damage. Who's afraid of dragons now? - At least they're straightforward. Look forward to them finding a way out of this mess.

Can't believe he gave his crown to Lore'yn. She's even worse than J'syka. I hope Be'lah will have a means to lift the spell befoe J'spurr executes all of her evil plans. Could it be she's after T'lar? THey're in so much trouble.

Now they need a plan to engage the fairies in fight and force them to use up magic, and quick.

At least they know abot Lore'yn having the wand - useful information. I'm dreading the magic working on Alyss.

Such a clever plan and idiot fool Jasper fudged it up - or is there method to the madness and the cut-off wings will help them somehow, maybe to fool Lore'yn?

Damn! I hope J'spurr will be able to keep the evil queen out of his head.

Oh, how I wish J'spurr would use the sword to end Lore'yn for good! What made M come to help?

Lant'n has a twisted sense of homour and I think he only tells them enough to motivate them to do their bidding. Maybe he tells them that the gateway is useless because he neeeds them to stay a little longer to accomplish something he wants done. I wonder about little Kath'ryn's magical abilities.

Alyss sort of confined the evil embedded in the crown and hopefully it is not going to influence Bree. She should check the sceptre, too. She is so powerful now, all that magic turned bad would be devastating.

Who would have thought that the giant dragon could be put back to sleep by a lullaby? And all the peoples of Faen worked together. Alyss and J'spurr saved by a unicorn - what a reward for sacrificing themselves to save the worlds. J'syka got off easy, good luck to her new husband. And finally the wedding-night, they've been waiting so long to be able to be together, uninterrupted.

Assuming the little girl is Edward's I can't understand why his parents were so evasive when he asked them about Bella. Emmett's comment doesn't help either. I hope Bella is not going to slam the door in his face.

Bella knew that Edward wanted to join the Peace Corps. If she had objections she should have voiced them before he left. While he was away, keeping in contact was next to impossible, not just with Bella, but with his parents, too. Keeping Edward out of his daughter's life because of her pride was wrong. If she missed and needed him so much Bella could have lifted the news-embargo anytime, they all knew Edward would have come home asap. Edward's mother didn't want to risk losing Angelina, so she kept Edward in the dark. It seems as if nobody was expecting him to really come home and now that he's back in Forks he's blamed for not helping in a situation he didn't even know existed. What a welcome - not. At least Angelina is happy about his return.

Oh, I knew it. Bella is taking care of everyone around her while there in noone looking out for her. Maybe it would have been an eye-opener for Alice's family if she had to spend the weekend in jail. I'm so, so angry with Alice. Manic depression or not - she lets Bella ruin her life because she is too cowardly to own up to her crime. I'm sisappointed in Edward, too. By now he must know that something is terribly wrong with the family-dynamics at the Cullens.

Esme needs to get a grip on all the shouting and bad-mouthing, no wonder little Jen does not want to be in her company. The way she behaved at the police-station - her son's work-place - was more than embarrassing. Who's causing a scene now?

Junping to conclusions seems to be a Cullen-family-trait.

Finally Edward gets some answers and not just cryptic messages and snippy remarks. Again, the way Esme treated the traumatized little girl shows that she is not fit to look after and bring up children. She has Alice to show for it, too.

I'm glad Edward chose to spend Christmas with Bella's family and friends. His parents and sister have to get their sh** together and start to treat Edward and Jennifer right, Bella too. Christmas at the Cullens must be an unhappy, uncomfortable affair.

Wouldn't we all like to know what Esme did?

Jennifer's room is a magical place now thanks to Bella. It's wonderful she's brave enough to talk to Edward.

I'd like to read more.

What's Esme's problem with Bella? Her exterior? She was rude to Bella and she gave it right back - not polite, but the same goes for Esme. Alice just bowled Jen over, no wonder the little girl is not comfortable with her right away.

I like that Tia wants to involve Edward so much in Jen's therapy.

Gosh, Edward is so slow. It's infuriating how he doubts Bella on every turn, but doesn't question why Jen won't speak to Alice anymore or why she's uncomfortable with her grandmother, why Aro is trying to protect Bella. He should feel bad, too, that she was beaten up in jail - his responsability! Bella is still his advocate with his daughter despite his abysmal behaviour, if that doesn't make hm reassess he's hopeless.

Oh Edward, he has a lot to learn. I would have expected him to ask Jennifer what made her punch the other child and I would have expected him to not just nod when told that "it doesn't matter". The reason for Jen's behaviour does matter indeed. Maybe the other child's actions were punishable under school rules, too? Jennnifer has good reason to yell at him. She needs his support and that he takes her feelings serious. Cheers to the brave little girl to make herself heard!

Like the Edward-Charlie-interaction.

Happy together at last. Novella or outtakes - I'd love to read both.

Happy New Year

I think Edward's father is a very unpleasant person who has no regard for his sons feelings and needs.

Ha, I knew it. Edward's father stole them so much joy. I'm glad Bella doesn't hold a grudge and wants to reconnect, too. Cheers to Alice for being such a big supporter.

Too bad Eloise didn't elaborate about her mother. I'm curious, too. The night gets better and better for Bella, Eloise tells her that she loves her and now she's kissing Edward.

I'd pick babysitting over harvesting grapes anytime and travelling around Europe with Edward is the icing and the cherry on top. Bella is one lucky girl.

I wonder if Bella's passport will reappear. I have a bad feeling about Jasper, too. He was very evasive about the people he was planning to meet and the Ackers don't seem to think much of him.

My parents would have turned grey instantly had I surprised them with the news that I'd just purchased an interrail-pass and a hiker's backpack and was leaving next Saturday. I see why Bella didn't want to involve Renee and Charlie in her planning, though.

No time like the present for Bella to ask.

Idiot could have taken off his pants and saved himself. Too bad James didn't go alone, but caused the death of many innocent people. Edward's father had it coming, at least is was quick, a consolation for his wife. Hope Bella and Edwardcan find shelter insid the church - at least temporarily.                                                                                 

I'm looking forward to their next adventure. I guess it won't take long before Sam calls in the crew for assistance. Wouldn't it be cool to sit in the shade of a magnificent tree listening to stories from a Dryad?

A woman in Kate's position should have more manners, more grip on her emotions and her verbal filter. Now I kind of wish her to be in a "paranormal pickle". Shady Shaman sounds promising.

If the vampir is desperate it might get sloppy and make mistakes. He must be very powerful if they had to combine their resistance to get away unharmed.

Ah, they're getting somewhere, at least about the how. I'm intrigued - again.

Now they have a theory what they are up against, but how are they going to fight and incapacitate such a creature? Emmett will get his chance to help, I'm sure :D.
