Twilight Continued on fanfiction.net

If you enjoy vampire stories:

I need to acknowledge and thank Stephanie Meyers for her different idea of what a vampire can be and it is not necessarily the bloodthirsty creature who craves only human blood but there is a different kind of vampire who is considered ‘vegetarian’ and instead drinks animal blood. Stephanie created stories focused on teenage love, the stories enjoyed particularly by teenagers but many adults enjoy her stories too; these vampires obsessed one adult who couldn’t wait to read the fourth book, not yet published. I, who am that adult, decided to write my own version of the fourth book by using the same characters and adding a few of my own; the fourth book became more than one book of a continuing saga. In order to follow and understand my book it is necessary to read the original Twilight books, since reference is made to certain occurrences from those books, one through three, and then, upon a arriving at a fork in the road, take the next step. Do you want to read the teenage version of the fourth book that Stephanie Meyers created (perhaps you already have) or travel into―definitely― the more adult vampire world, the world I, Brenda Britton, created? I created a world of vampires living within a parallel world of humans and enjoying a symbiotic relationship with those humans. The majority of vampires are human bloodsuckers and the majority of humans do not know vampires exist even though they live side by side with them.

Stephanie Meyer’s character, Bella, intends to become a vampire because she wants immortality with her love, Edward. At the end of the third book, it has been decided Bella will marry Edward and become a vampire even though Edward isn’t completely sold on the idea of having a vampire wife. Most of his family is in agreement with Bella but there is one dissenter, Rosalie. There are certain quirks that make up Bella that I expected Stephanie to bring out when Bella became a vampire so I decided to include them in my story too. The first, most obvious, was Bella’s aversion to human blood even as a human, and the second most obvious was Edward’s inability to read her mind. Bella was also oversexed when it came to Edward in that she would have preferred to consummate their relationship prior to marriage but the old-fashioned Edward held off. I decided this was an important factor in the more adult book although I agree with Stephanie that teenagers should not be encouraged to partake in sexual relationships prior to marriage and teenage books should not encourage it.

My book is based on the premise that when humans change to vampires, they become more of what they were as humans. They become more beautiful, stronger, faster, more intelligent, perfect memory, and hearing that is more acute. Human traits also become more pronounced, sexual inclination being one of them, but with Bella, other aspects make her different from most vampires. The vampire world has different rules and mores than the human world and these things Bella must learn in order to fit in; she must also learn to respect the Volturi since they are the leaders of the vampire world she is now a part of. The Cullen’s welcome Bella into their family but she has no idea how different the human world was in comparison to what she’s now encounters as a vampire. The Cullen’s bring her gradually into their fold and teach her vampire basics but the reason Edward held off changing her becomes apparent when Bella is drawn into something completely beyond her expectations and she’s encouraged to learn from teachers that are more forceful and more compelling. The irony of it is, the Cullen’s allow Bella’s education of her new existence; the question is, would Bella have agreed to change if Edward had given her the complete truth of what her status would be upon becoming a vampire? To Edward’s credit at least, he was unable to explain anything about the vampire world Bella didn’t figure out for herself and although saving his soul was a major factor, he tried hard to discourage her because of several other issues that eventually become apparent. My book dwells on what Bella learns and how she learns to cope with her new freakish vampire identity; there is also danger, sex, and intrigue for her to contend with since those things seem to follow her. Most characters remain as they were in Twilight but there are some changes and new characters to either love or hate. The Cullen family are the same but one finds out more about them and how they accumulate their wealth; one also learns how Bella’s human family copes with the new, and to them, a different Bella. To all you Jacob fans, Jacob is included in my book but not to the extent he was in Twilight; this is definitely an ‘Edward’ book since he was my hero. The Volturi are still the overlords of the vampire world but I gave Aro a somewhat different personality, a vampire who Bella at first fears but then they become inextricably involved; nevertheless, he remains a person of great power to be respected by vampires and feared by humans. I hope you enjoy coming into my world of vampires; this will not detract from what Stephanie Meyers started but hopefully will enhance your enjoyment. I call it tying off loose ends but suggesting the story can be infinite in length just as vampires are eternal; this then is the never ending story.

From my next Love Series book, Jewel From India, with Love

It was on one of these rambles, as they were laughing and chatting about things in general that there was an occurrence which changed Olivia’s life even more than it had been; they heard suddenly a loud retort from a gun as they passed by a small coppice.

“What was that?” Carole asked.

“It sounded like a gun shot,” Jeremy suggested.

Almost immediately, a large black stallion whinnied and galloped from the coppice; he was rider less though he possessed a saddle and they all realized something was amiss.

Vijay was immediately on alert, “You stay here; I’ll go check,” he told them. He jumped from his mount and snuck cautiously into the coppice, using trees as his shield as he went further inside; he heard the whine of an arrow close by and the soft sound as it hit its mark. There was not the sound of an animal thudding to the ground but Vijay’s experienced ears detected instead the human moan of someone in pain; he heard the crunch of the hunter’s feet going towards the moaning sound and then a loud crunch.

Just at that moment the group of young people, who had grown tired of waiting, decided to see for themselves from whence the shot came since there had been no more; they left their horses outside the coppice and trampled loudly through the snow amid giggling and laughter.

Olivia, taking the leadership role, was first on the scene, “Vijay―” she began but stopped speaking as he waved her behind him.

Whoever the assailant was had disappeared amid the trees at the first sound of voices. Vijay walked quickly now to where he perceived the arrow to have gone and saw a man laid on the ground; Olivia was right behind him, “What happened?” she asked Vijay.

“It looks as if he’s been shot by arrows,” Vijay was now bending over the man to assess whether or not he was alive.

After a few minutes Vijay spoke, “He still lives but he was hit with two arrows and it looks like a rock hit him on his head.”

An exerpt from The Six Frenchmen: The Unexpected Betrothal

Miranda sat brushing her hair out when Geoffrey came into the room; she still had her chemise on and he was already naked. He came up behind her and very quickly dispensed with the chemise.

“I prefer us to be naked when we’re alone in our apartments; no one will disturb us and even if they did it should be expected since we’re husband and wife. This is our domain and we can dress or undress as we choose; I want you to feel comfortable undressed as dressed.”

“You want me to walk about naked?” she asked.

“In here―yes; the fire is warm, you can curl up in a chair when you aren’t dressing or disrobing to read or sew or do what a young lady does when her husband isn’t making love to her. In fact, let’s make the dressing room for dressing and undressing unless we do a quick disrobe prior to our lovemaking; the rest of our apartment is for nakedness only.”

“But―what about the rest of the house; do you intend to keep me prisoner in here?”

“No ma chérie, of course not; when we have quiet time alone we’ll spend it in here. He smiled, “I’d like to keep you prisoner in here but that isn’t feasible; there are days when we can enjoy each other’s company alone and there are some afternoons and evenings.”

“Oh,” she couldn’t think of anything else to say and even though she was still embarrassed by her nakedness, she still liked what Geoffrey did to her and she was definitely willing to learn more. “Did your other women like to be naked?” she finally asked.

He laughed briefly, “Of course, ma chérie, it was their job.”

“I suppose I’ll get used to it too.” She tossed her hair back and stood; she padded towards him, “I want you to teach me more now please.” She spoke seductively and he liked that very much.

“As you wish ma amour,” he whispered as he pulled her to him.

The Ghostly Whisper of Love

Here is a sneak peek at my new book: The Ghostly Whisper of Love.

February 1816

“I’m sure we will be safe tonight love and tomorrow my reinforcements will arrive―” he stopped speaking as he looked at her; her body was completely naked as she stood in front of him.

Before Adam could even think what to say, Laura spoke.

“Malcolm wanted to make sure I was properly cared for; he bequeathed me to you and you showed your acceptance by marrying me. I have unwrapped myself so you may see the gift within; I hope you approve. I loved my brother and will do nothing to diminish in any way what he had given you and will do everything in my power to fill your life with the happiness Malcolm anticipated for you; I want not only to please you for his sake but for mine also.”

Adam was speechless as he walked towards her but after enclosing her in his arms and feeling the silky satin of her skin; after running his hand through her hair and feathering kisses over her face and neck, he finally spoke.

“You please me immensely Laura, you’ve always pleased me and will continue to do so for as long as we both shall live; now however, I intend to please you.”
