A few people have asked to read some of the novels I am writing. I thought it would easier to post some here instead of sending out to everyone sepereately.

This is from the first book, towards the beginning.

Let me know what you think:


“You shouldn’t have waited outside.” He gave me an intense look, “You don’t always know what’s out there.”

That coupled with the strange look Jack was giving me, the look that said we shared a secret, instantly got my attention back. I sat straighter and worked on keeping my smile on my face while my hands were in fists on my lap. My nails dug into my palm, and the pain helped to clear my mind.

“What’s out there?” my smile turned questioning and I leant towards him, injecting the right amount of worry and interest in my voice to sound suitably interested.
“What do you mean?”

Jack mirrored my position and lowered his voice. A human would have had to really concentrate to his voice against the din of the club. I had to concentrate on ignoring the smell of his blood and the pulsing of his heart.

“There are ... things out there, that would hurt you if they got the chance. Things that will hunt you, have to hunt us, to live. You have to be careful, in the dark.” Jack stared into my eyes intensely.

My eyes prickled and darkened as this new threat came to light. Jack was talking about vampires. And that look he was giving me made me think he knew more than he was letting on. I pressed my tongue against my semi revealed fangs and the bitter taste of my own blood filled my mouth. The rational part of my brain told me to relax and keep my animal instincts in check. This was probably just his way to pick up girls; sound all mysterious and dangerous. He didn’t know anything. And he certainly didn’t know that I was a vampire.

“You mean like rapists, or something?” I made my voice quaver, in what I hoped sounded like fear. Jack simply looked at me for a long moment. His eyes searched my face and eyes. Thankfully, our table was so covered in shadows that he wouldn’t notice the complete blackness of my usually hazelnut brown eyes.

“No, I don’t mean like rapists.” This time there was no mistaking the look Jack was giving me. My brain skipped through the last few times I was out in the forest hunting; there was definitely no one there. No one was there when I caught that bear last week. No one was there when I drained every last drop of blood from its body. I was sure of it. Or at least I was until tonight. “I mean...”

....

Something hard and sharp dug into my chest, just to the side of my left breast, above my heart. I lowered my eyes slowly from Jacks’ face and looked down. A large smooth stake was pressed firmly into my chest, hard enough that I suspected it would leave a dent in my shirt. I felt my eyes widen in shock and when I looked back up into Jacks face the look of indignation had been replaced by the fiery glow of pride. There was no doubt that he knew exactly what I was and there was no doubt in my mind over exactly what I had to do. My lips pulled up to expose my fangs and a feral hiss of anger snaked up my throat. Jack pulled back from me, but pressed the stake harder into me, so hard that it ripped my shirt and punctured my skin. The small tickle of pain annoyed me more than anything else.

“That won’t kill me.”

“I know, Vampire.” Jack spat the word and his eyes blazed with hate. “But it will hurt like hell and incapacitate you while I finish the job with this.” He pulled a shiny knife from the inside pocket of his jacket. My eyes narrowed and anger surged through me. I squared my shoulders against this new threat, the stake pushed further into my chest and this time the niggling pain erupted into something more. Freezing flames licked through my body radiating from the stake protruding from my chest. Jack noticed the fire in my eyes and mistook it for fear.

“Yep, silver.” He sneered at me, “I did my homework.”

“It’s a shame you won’t get a chance to use it then.” I snarled at the boy in front of me.

In a move so quick that Jack didn’t even notice it, I ripped the stake from his hand and held it out at my side. Jack frowned down at his now empty hand; I wiggled the stake in front of his face. The pointed end shined blood red in the torch light. I clenched my fist and the wood cracked and splintered between my fingers. I opened my hand and let the pieces tumble down between our bodies. Jacks’ eyes tracked the movement, mine watched him.

While Jack watched the splintered wood clatter to the floor and his slow human brain tried to make sense of what just happened, I grabbed the knife from his grasp. And with my hand tight around his neck I backed him into the opposite wall.

Fanfiction Teaser!

Hey guys!

I thought I'd tease y'all a little bit this afternoon.

I'm writing two main fanfics at the moment - Shadows of True Love and Troublemaker.



SoTL, follows a new more rebellious Bella about a year after Edward left in New Moon. She's changed, but she still sees shadows and dreams of Edward following her ... that is, until he comes back....

Here's a little bit from the next chapter to be posted:

When I was facing Lauren again, she put her finger into my open mouth. My eyes widened and I stared at her in shock. She pulled her finger free and sucked it into her own mouth. There was something left in my mouth. I could feel it on my tongue. I froze.

Lauren opened her mouth and showed me the small white pill on her tongue. There was a smudged red heart painted on the middle. The music that had comforted me only seconds before now became too loud. The vibrations running through my body shook me and made my head hurt. I wobbled on my feet and felt nausea rise in my throat. Thoughts of Edward consumed me; he left me- Jacob left me. I looked around, seeing if anyone had noticed; no one was paying attention, they only saw two girls standing close together, grinding to the music.

Lauren closed her mouth and swallowed.

“It’s okay, B. It will help you have a good time. It will make you feel better,” I blinked at her. “You want to feel better don’t you? You want to not care and just have fun?” I nodded at her. Yes! I wanted that. I wanted to not care, I wanted to not be haunted, I wanted to escape the pain. “Just swallow.”

I did.

.....

I didn’t have Edward anymore; In the light, or the shadows.

I didn’t have Jacob anymore.

But I did have Emmett and Jasper.

I was not completely alone.

And that was good enough ... for now.

her

Troublemaker is AH and AU. Bella, Jasper and Rose move to Forks, after an accident in Arizona. Bella, is immediately attracted to Edward, upsetting her boyfriend, Jasper. While in Forks, Bella struggles to cope with the things happening around her; revelations about her family, illegal secrets from Arizona and misplaced Lust.

Here's a little bit from the next chapter to be posted:

I loved Jasper. Just watching him like this set me on fire. And not just for sex ... it wasn’t just because he was sex personified, not because of his chiselled pecks, or strong shoulders, or the little trailer of hair that lead to my happy place. It was him. Jasper. All of him. No one else ever stood a chance.

Not with him here.

Jasper stirred; flinging an arm over his stomach. I moved over to him and knelt on the bed.

I traced a finger over his fingers and let my hand trail his arm, onto his wide shoulders. I moved closer to him; leaning over his face on the bed. With soft fingers, I brushed the hair from his eyes; pushing it back from his face. I leant in closer.

I pressed my lips to his, unable to resist, before I began to pepper kisses across the perfect skin of his face; his chin, his eyes, his cheeks, his forehead. Jasper’s lips pulled up into a perfectly crooked grin and his arms wrapped around me. With his arms around me, Jasper rolled us over so I was on my back he was hovering above me.

“Good morning,” I wound my hands in his hair and pulled him down to me.

“It’s a very good morning, darlin’,” Jasper drawled.

....

I finished one and moved onto the next.

Tacos were good. Tacos helped.

Tacos didn’t fill the void. Tacos didn’t bring him back.

Tears mixed with the chilli.

Welcome to my Crazy Mind!

Hello!

My name is Mel (Melanie) ... some of you might know me as Bellavista. I’m a third year English Literature and Language student ....finishing in May!

I have a very addictive and obsessive personality. My mummy and (most of) my friends think that is a bad thing. I disagree. I have a whole load of obsessions... and although there are some that constantly stay...

Robert Pattinson

Jackson Rathbone


Kristen Stewart (I'm a self-confessed Krisbian!)

Anything Twilight related


...there is always something new I’m addicted to as well. I’m gunna fill this blog with them...

I love writing! It kinda takes over the part of my life that my obsessions leave behind ... or fits in with it. I’m in the process of writing my own novels, I write stories for my friends ... twists on their favourite stories. And, of course, I love FANFICTION! I write it as well read it. I have loads of favourites, so be prepared to see loads of ranting and raving about what I’m reading.

I also love to read. I’ll pretty much read anything, but my favourite books are ones that let me get away from the Real World. I, obviously, love the Twilight books ... if you don’t you might as well go now. I think Rachel Vincent is amazing. The HON books rock my world. The Sookie Stakehouse books are kinda awesome ... but I'm also a huge fan of the classics: Pride and Prejudice, Little Women, Jane Eyre ....

Music is also a very important part of my life; I can’t go a day without listening to something. My taste in music is very eclectic; I’ll listen to anything. I try to go to as many gigs/ festivals as I can... they make me happy.

My home town is tiny – no Starbucks tiny! So I’m never really that thrilled to go home and leave the city. But I can deal. Mostly because of the gorgeous country side I am surrounded with; beaches, forests, moors ...

...and yes. I have searched every single inch of the forests looking for a clearing with a sexy ass sparkling vampire ... I’ll let you know WHEN I find him!

About five minutes from my house are the most perfect beaches in the UK. I try to spend as much time a possible on them throughout the year. I used to swim and surf as well ... until I ended up in the middle of a school of fish one summer, which in turn triggered a completely rational fear of anything and everything that lives in the sea ... :S And that is not my only fear ... but now is not the time to delve into my neurosis’ right now.

Right, so, there it is... some of the inner ramblings of my obsessed mind.
