Chapter 10 (Downward Spiral) Teaser

Hello all 6 of you blog readers and followers! How are you this Thursday afternoon? I'm doing well. Been busy with work and life and have recently gotten lost in reading the story Emancipation Proclamation. I know, I'm like one of the last people to just start reading this. I've been holding out. I needed to get into sad mode to write the next chapter of ALBtY, so I finally gave in. Now, I'm completely hooked, and it is definitely sad. Gah! It seriously grabs ahold of you and tears you up inside. It's really, really good, though. So, if you aren't reading it, you definitely should.

So, I've finished Chapter 10 and sent it off to the beta. It should post soon. The teaser for it is below. I've also gotten most of Chapter 11 done and part of Chapter 12. Go me! I know, it's a shocker, right? LOL! Hopefully I can get them up and posted much faster than the past couple have been. We shall see.

Anyhoo, that's about it for me. I hope you all are doing well. I'd love to hear from you. Feel free to let me know what you think about the story, what you think is going to happen or want to happen, if you're reading anything great that you want to recommend, or if you just want to say hey! Any form of feedback makes me smile. :)

Here's the teaser. (Keep in mind that it hasn't been beta'd yet and could potentially change). Hope it peaks your interest:

“Let me get these guys out of my house and you can come over later. We’ll go out and do something. Sound good?”



“Yeah, do you want to call me?”


“No, just come back over later this evening. We’ll grab dinner and go to a movie or something.”


“Alright. Is six o’clock good?” I asked.


“Yeah, baby. Whenever.”


He walked me back out to my car and placed a soft, slow kiss on my lips before closing me inside. I drove back to my house and killed time by catching up on some laundry and picking up my room. It was around four when I was about to start getting ready and my dad came home. It was a good hour earlier than he usually got in, but didn’t think anything of it until he came inside.


“Bella, are you upstairs?” my dad called out when he came in.


“Yeah, I’ll be right down,” I replied back.


As I descended the stairs, I knew something was up. My dad had a strange look on his face. I couldn’t tell if he was angry, upset, or worried. It actually appeared to be a combination of the three.


“Hey, Dad, what’s up?” I asked, smiling up at him.


“We need to sit down,” he said, ushering me to the living room.


“Okay? What’s going on? Is everything alright?”


“I’m not going to beat around the bush about it because, quite frankly, there’s no sugar coating this. Edward was arrested today.”

Happy Humpday! Here's a Little Treat for your Mid Week Enjoyment :)

Hi guys!

I hope that everyone had a Happy 4th and that you've all gone to see the pretty, better known as RPattz, in Eclipse! If you haven't, you MUST go! It was epic. This was definitely my favorite one so far. Eclipse was my favorite book in the series, though. That may have something to do with it. Breaking Dawn has a lot to live up to. Hopefully it's just as great. I hear it's going to be filmed in Louisiana, which is the state next to mine. I'm thinking a road trip is going to be in order. Just sayin'... Who's with me?

I'm sorry that I've been so slack in getting my sheesh together. I've been working on Chapter 9 for a while, and well... it kicked my arse. But I have good news! I just finished it today and it's been sent off to the beta. I'm hoping that I can post it by the end of the week, but it all depends. My beta is a busy lady. Not only does she work as a beta on like six different stories, she's also writing four of her own that she updates weekly, and she's now a Twilighted Validation Beta. I guess we should cut her some slack. I think her plates kinda full. Wouldn't you? :D

I at least wanted to post a teaser for you. Hopefully it will tide you over until the chapter posts! Keep in mind that this hasn't been beta'd yet and errors are not intentional. So, here goes:

Teaser - Chapter 9 Titled: Ohh...!

As the movie started, Edward began whispering plans in my ear.

“Alice is going to fall asleep soon. She never lasts through more than one movie. I want you to come with me to my room. Please?” he asked.

“Really? Don’t you think she’s going to wake up if we move?” Oh. My. God. Is he ready to do this now?

“Not a chance. Once she falls asleep, she’s out for the night.”

“Are you sure? I mean, about wanting me to come up there with you?”

“Do you not want to?” He looked worried.

“No, I do… it’s just that, I don’t want to make you uncomfortable.

“Baby, I asked you. You aren’t making me uncomfortable.”

“Okay.” I smiled. “Yes, then.”

Edward was right. Alice was asleep within twenty minutes of the second movie starting and he was then eagerly pulling me up the stairs toward his bedroom.
 
So, what do you think Edward wants her to go to his room for? Hmmm... Could there be some citrusy goodness in the works? Don't kill me, but for the answer to that and any other questions you might have, you'll have to read the update. Hopefully you have the story on alert so you'll get an e-mail when it posts!
 
Smooches, bb's!
