Thanks for reading and reviewing His Cimmerian View.  The next chapter will be a great one for sure, but as a loyal reader and reviewer pointed out so far most of the chapters have been just that... a great one.  I know many of you are sick of Rose, and we assure you that there will be closure there soon.  There is not much redemption for a character like Rose, however there are things happening that will at least show that Emmett is not in fact an idiot who allows Rose to be poisonous to all.  Many of you are worried that the introduction of Mr. James Hunter will be a dangerous situation for Bella.  James Hunter has been in the story all along, and he is a very volatile person, and there will be more to come that involves him in the near future.  Alice is showing a bit of a change, but I think she knows she has made her final stand alongside of Rosalie.  Keep in mind within days of chapter 24 posting that Enduring His Cimmerian View will post and the first out-take to post will be Bella’s POV up to and through chapter 24.  We waited to give you Bella’s POV until Chapter 24 posted for a very good reason... sex.  Yep get out your big girl panties and prepare yourselves for that, because it is going to be posting on Thursday, the BPOV will post hopefully next Saturday.  There weren’t a lot of questions, but there is still some confusion.  Rose and Jasper are Esme’s niece and nephew, whom Esme and Carlisle were given guardianship of when they were around 10/12 respectfully.  Rose is older.  Edward’s mother is MIA, but for all accounts and purposes he believes she is still alive.  Bella’s birth mother was Renee who died of Cancer when Bella was 3.  Charlie is Bella’s birth father and he is dead.  Sue Swan was Charlie’s wife and Bella’s Step mother.  Harry Clearwater is Sue Swans brother, and tormentor of Bella.   We are excited to see your reviews from the next chapter as well as the BPOV that will post.  Kasi (&Nikky)

Chapter 24 teaser... subject to changes in the beta process.

I’m in the middle of teaching when my phone rings.  “Excuse me. Tia, please carry on for me.”  Tia gives me a smile and takes over from where I left off.  “Hello, Caius. I was just going to step into my office.  How can I help you?”

I hear some chatter in the background.  “Edward, I’m sorry for bothering you.  Everything here is a big clusterfuck right now.  I was just calling to give you an update on the Bree Tanner situation.  We’ve had three more ex-students come forward with allegations claiming that Mr. Hunter did similar things to them, so the state police have taken over the case.  I was one of the people they called in to assist, as they’re planning to speak to all of his ex-students. The officers got here yesterday and worked through last night and this morning.  They need to speak to you, as well.” I sigh, rubbing my face, even though I had already expected this information. “This looks really fucking big, Edward.  From what I’ve gathered, he targets a student in their junior year, mostly just degrading them at first. Then, when they enter their senior year, he starts to get physical with them at the same time he begins the process with another student.  The three girls that came forward were manipulated into sleeping with him.  Due to the fact they were all over eighteen at the time, they can’t get him for statutory rape, but are charging him with aggravated rape and extortion.” 

I pull at my hair, hoping that James gets a shitty lawyer. A good one could use this to their advantage. “What’s the bond amount he’s being held on?”

There is a loud sigh and a chill travels down my spine.  “Nothing. He was released pending charges after questioning.  The charges were just filed, so now the officers are on their way to pick him up again.”  We talk a little more about some other things before saying our goodbyes. 

The rest of the day passes in a blur. The State Police being here is making life more stressful than it already is.  Marcus sent in extra counselors and staff to help out with the backlash of shit that’s going on in Forks. 

By the end of the week another three ex-students have come forward claiming that Mr. Hunter forced them into physical relationships with him. A current student has also come forward to say he had just recently started verbally abusing her.
