Chapter 16 part two
They tried to persuade him, and he tried to persuade them, to no avail. At that point, Carlisle decided to try the New World. He dreamed of finding others like himself. He was very lonely, you see.
"He didn't find anyone for a long time. But, as monsters became the stuff of fairy tales, he found he could interact with unsuspecting humans as ( Read more... ) -
Chapter 16 part one
I opened my mouth to ask, but he spoke before I could.
"So he grew very hungry, and eventually weak. But why would he be weak? Think about it, if he can live with out eating, then why would he have to eat in the first place. Try to wrap your mind about that one, if you can make sense of it, get back to me. He strayed as far as he could from ( Read more... ) -
Chapter 15 (part two)
"It's very nice to know you," she said sincerely.
"Thank you. I'm glad to meet you, too." And I was. It was like meeting a fairy tale - Snow White, in the flesh. Snow White had dark hair, Esme’s hair is “caramel colored.” But anyway, Meyer is elevating the typical princess figure to a goddess- like level. Just pointing that out.

Chapter 15 (part one)
"Oh!" I sat up so fast it made my head spin.
"Your hair looks like a haystack… but I like it." His unruffled voice came from the rocking chair in the corner.
"Edward! You stayed!" Well, he said he would. And what do you think would stop him? Just because you now know he watches you in your sleep? Well, doesn’t that stop most stalkers ( Read more... ) -
My review of Twilight
With the books being a travesty to all literature ever, the movie really had no where to go but up, and up it did. The movie I think was at least three times better then the book for a few very important reasons.
Bella is the first and most noticeable. I wrote in my commentary months ago that I wondered how they would play Bella to make an audience ( Read more... ) -
Chapter 14 (part three)
I considered the impossibilities he described, trying to take it in. He waited patiently while I thought. "So where did it all start? I mean, Carlisle changed you, and then someone must have changed him, and so on…"
"Well, where did you come from? Evolution? Creation? Couldn't we have evolved in the same way as other species, predator and ( Read more... ) -
Chapter 14 (part two)
The quiet, laughing response came from behind me. "Yes?"
I whirled, one hand flying to my throat in surprise.
He lay, smiling hugely, across my bed, his hands behind his head, his feet dangling off the end, the picture of ease. He’s a sneak, too, but it’s creepy.
"Oh!" I breathed, sinking unsteadily to the floor.
"I'm sorry." He ( Read more... ) -
Chapter 14 (part one), only ten more to go
"Try me," I finally said.
He sighed, and then looked into my eyes, seeming to forget the road completely for a time. Whatever he saw there must have encouraged him. He looked into the sun - the light of the setting orb glittered off his skin in ruby-tinged sparkles - and spoke. “Ruby-tinged?” What the hell, I thought it was like diamonds. ( Read more... ) -
Part two of chapter 13
He raised his hand to my hair, then carefully brushed it across my face.
"Tell me," I breathed.
"I don't think I can. I've told you, on the one hand, the hunger - the thirst - that, deplorable creature that I am, Edward is also a wangsty emo bitch it seems. I feel for you. And I think you can understand that, to an extent. Though" - he ( Read more... ) -
Chapter 13, part one, I'm working my way through
"Maybe that's not the right comparison. Maybe it would be too easy to turn down the brandy. Meyer’s clearly never been around real alcoholics. Perhaps I should have made our alcoholic a heroin addict instead."
"So what you're saying is, I'm your brand of heroin?" I teased, trying to lighten the mood.
He smiled swiftly, seeming to ( Read more... )
