Imagine a story where there is a character named Isabella Trinity McCarty, and she is a full-fledged vampire. Everything about her screams danger, though her intentions are purposeful. She has spent the majority of her vampire existence looking for someone very close to her, whom she lost. Her older brother, Emmett McCarty. When she hears about how he is apart of a coven that practices a different way of life, completely opposite to the lifestyle she is living, Bell cannot resist the temptation to find him, and resort to their feeding habits. When she finally sees her brother once again, in the longest time, it seems that everything is going to slide into place. That everything is going to work out; nothing bad happening on the way. But, we all know that fairytales, not even the good ones, start or end that way. And there will be many obstacles for Bella to face before she can truly be happy. THERE IS MAJOR CONSTRUCTION GOING ON. PARTS OF THE STORY WILL BE UNPUBLISHED AND REPUBLISHED IN A FEW DAYS TOPS. I'M SORRY, BUT I'M REWRITING SOME EVENTS THAT DON'T SEEM TO MAKE SENSE ANYMORE. PLEASE BE PATIENT.

Marshall Lee; he was sexy, he was witty, he was cute and charismatic, and he was intelligent, but incredibly mysterious. He was over a thousand years old; he had to have some kind of a past hiding behind those dark eyes. Disclaimer: I'm sorry, I most likely will never finish or update the book. Read if you don't mind serious cliffhangers and crappy writing.

For Best Friends to Best Friends, explaining the relationship between the two

ON HIATUS--my apologies! Due to some serious roommate problems, Bella Swan has to find new student housing mid-semester and fortunately finds a room to rent in a lovely Victorian home near the University of Chicago campus. But a set of mysterious circumstances set Bella on edge, challenging her beliefs about the afterlife...and love.

The promised visit of the Volturi came sooner then expected for my family. Instead of a wintery war we were getting one under the midnight sun. This would be the beginning of the end for some and the beginning of a new life for others. Only we didn't know who would win and who would lose. This is the final fight for freedom, for my families lives.

What would Twilight have been like if Bella were hiding a secret too....

After the death of both of her parents, Bella is left to the care of supposed friends of the family. But the longer she stays in their home, the more sinister events become. Family secrets leave her locked behind closed doors, both literally and metaphorically. And her one long-time ally has suddenly turned against her, no longer willing to stand between Bella and her abusive foster father.Plagued by the memories of her mother's death and remembrances of the kind young doctor who, while caring for her mother in her last days, gently removed eight-year-old Bella from her dead mother's arms on the worst morning of Bella's life, she misses the love of her parents, especially after being blamed for the death of her foster mother and the crippling injuries of her foster father. Now all of the people she has loved are now dead...except one. But he now callously joins in her abuse, seeming to take pleasure from her pain. Pinned within the four walls of her small bedroom, Bella yearns to flutter freely, to live a real life once again. Will she ever be rescued from her abusers?

This poem may be construed as an all-human tale of Bella and Edward's future life...although that was not the poem's original purpose or intent. This is the scene I envisioned when I learned of several of my friends' marriages ending in divorce. The cover art is courtesy of my extremely talented son, Timothy.
