Second 5 Year Extra - Chantelle and Pancrazio's Wedding

So Gabby requested an extra of Chantelle and Zio's wedding. It was mostly written out already so I decided to post it as an extra extra ;)

Pictures of the dresses are at the bottom of the Renesmee Trilogy tab.

Extra is after the jump :) enjoy.

An update on various things.

Firstly I just want to say that I have changed the extras tab a little... the extras have been moved to their own pages and links have been listed for each story. I felt the way it was offered too many spoilers some might not want to read so now the extras have been separated into stories and the oldest has been listed first (i.e. chronological order to the story) so you don't have to scroll through newer extras to read the one you want.

All tabs and stories have been given a new banner, all of them were made by Beth, who is amazing at photoshop so thank you Beth!

There has been some new fanart put into the fanart tab.

Esther

There is also a new FanFiction of my stories up! It was written by JamieDodger and it involves Esther and her daughters meeting Benjamin and his daughters from TrueTigress' FanFictions, so if she's a favourite of anyones make sure you read that fun little crossover. I gave her complete permission but please be aware it is NOT canon in my stories and I do not have an influence on the writer what so ever. They are her versions of my characters and I am not involved. I am simply a reader like yourselves :)
Read it here

Finally, Living in Paradise should be updated on the 3rd and Forever After on the 7th :)

Edit: LiP will be up tomorrow instead. Ive been bombarded with college work and ive also had double ear infections and since i wanted to change something in the chapter it will have to wait another day. Sorry guys :(

Esther: Abigail

Italy, 1500 BC

The pain was excruciating. I had no real words to describe it. Not anymore. I didn’t scream, there was no point in screaming, I looked at my arms that were pinned either side of me. Tentacles were clawing at my wrists and forearms. I watched them digging into my skin. This happened every day. Everyday those witches would test me, to see if I was getting stronger, to see if their experiment worked. Every day it got easier. Every day the tentacles had to try harder to penetrate my skin. The blonde one, the witch that sat in the corner never saying a word continued to write furiously, she never stopped writing and observing me. She looked more excited every day.
“Finem” the red witch said and the tentacles immediately stopped their assault. I let out a breath of relief but my heart still pounded in my chest, I knew what was happening next, it wasn’t quite as bad as the tentacles but it was still painful.

The witches started chanting their spells and I felt myself heating up. This time I couldn’t help but scream as I felt my insides starting to burn.

After what felt like hours of torture they finally left. I crawled up onto my furs and into the foetal position. I watched my arms as they healed, the scars were now prominent, and they never healed fully.

The gate was closed and locked behind the witches and the left me to sleep. I didn’t always sleep. Sometimes I just lay there and thought about how to escape. I couldn’t have been born just to be experimented on. I wanted to be free. I was only a child physically, I knew that. Barely four years old but my mind was that of an adult. I thought like an adult, I didn’t feel like a child. The advantage of being as small as I was, was that I could fit into small places, I had hope of escaping but only if I was small enough. I knew I had to do it soon but I knew I had parents here to. I needed to save them, even though I didn’t know them. I heard them sometimes and I heard the witches speak about them.

“Esther! Esther my sweet.” I heard a voice; one that I had heard plenty of times but never put a face to. My mother.

“Mama!” I exclaimed.

“I am so sorry my sweet. I am truly so sorry,” she was sobbing, her hands were wrapped tightly around the bars of the gate keeping me in. She wasn’t crying, but I was sure she would be if she could.

“Mama,” I gasped when the gate broke in her hands.

“Run little girl, run and swim and get away from here.” She told me urgently. I ran up to her, my arms wrapping around her waist tightly.

“Go! Save yourself my daughter!” she said kissing my head and my face over and over again before pushing me towards the main cave area where the water was. I ran over to it and paused just for a second. What did she mean swim? Did she mean go into the water? I wasn’t sure. I hadn’t been out of this cave my entire life.

“Esther!” I heard my mother scream, the scream was heart wrenching. I turned to see the witches, their tentacles were around my mother, she screamed louder as the tentacles secured her in their grasps. “Go my sweet!” she called. I had tears falling down my eyes; they were blurring my vision as I watched my mother being tortured in front of me. I span around to the water and jumped.

I remembered not breathe as I kicked my arms and legs to move in the water. I saw the opening of the cave and swam faster.

I felt something on my ankle I tried to kick it off but it was no good. The light in the cave wall was getting smaller and I was tugged back up to the surface of the water. I was pulled out and hands grabbed me roughly and the tentacles that were holding my mother were now holding me.

I could hear yelling and screaming, I couldn’t move but I slowly opened my eyes. My mother was in front of me, pinned to the wall of the cave, she was struggling but it was no use. It was moments before a man came in; he too was struggling as the witches brought him over to my mother.

“Papa?” I asked.

“Esther!” he breathed my name as if he was worshiping it. “I’m so sorry” he said the same thing as my mother said and I frowned at them.

“You will learn little girl. Never try to escape or you will be punished,” the witch that was holding me said into my ear. Her voice sent shivers down my spine, pure fear radiated through me as I looked over to my parents in panic.

“No no no!” my mother was screaming. The tentacles tightened their grip, forcing my parents to stand back to back. One of the witches put out her hand and suddenly my parents were on fire.

“No!” I cried, pain rocked through me like nothing I had ever felt before and I had lived my life in pain. This was a whole different kind. The tears in my eyes blurred my vision so much that all I could see was orange. I fell to my knees, my arms still out stretched as the pain crippled me.

“Open your eyes girl,” one of the witches commanded, I shook my head. My tears coming like floods down my cheeks. “Open your eyes!” she repeated with a screech. My sobs were still racking my body as I raised my head, my eyes opened and as my vision cleared I saw my parents were no longer in front of me. There was black sand on the floor covering the golden white sand. I cried harder. I didn’t know my parents but I didn’t blame them. It wasn’t their fault these witches were so evil. They tried to save me. My mother risked her life to save me and it was all for nothing. I looked at the witch in front of me, she looked smug.

“Remember your lesson,” she taunted me. The tentacles around me dissipated and the witch by me stood with her sister. The one in the corner looked shocked. My tears halted just for a second as I watched her. She didn’t expect that to happen, she really looked dumbfounded at the place where my parents stood.

“What did you do that for?” it was the first time I had ever heard her speak. “Those vampires were the only vampires we successfully created from! You’ve destroyed them!” she argued to her sisters.

“They weren’t able to create another, they were useless.” A witch said, grabbing my arm and pulling me back to my part of the cave.

“We have what we need. The child will produce more for us” she said and threw me back into my ‘cell’. She ran her hand over the bars and the steel seemed to grow back into shape. I curled back onto my furs and cried the night away.

It felt like years had passed until my next opportunity to escape; in reality it couldn’t have been any more than a few months. I was physically seven now and it felt like I had been here forever. My arms ached, although it was easier now. The tentacles seemed to have a harder time to penetrate my skin, the tests were stronger though, the witches could see my skin was hardening and becoming tougher so their tests became much more brutal. They started throwing me across the cave, forcing me into the wall, seeing if it would hurt me, they would hold me under the water to see if I would drown, they pulled off my limps only to reattach them and watch my body heal. They forced me to do things, throwing things, crushing things, getting me to do the impossible like read minds and move objects with my mind. I couldn’t do any of these things. The only thing they seemed impressed with was my strength and durability, they seemed angry that I wasn’t telekinetic or telepathic and I had no idea why.

“She has no power! Another one of our failures!” I could hear one of the witches arguing one night. I was lying on my furs, rubbing my arm that was still healing from the torturous activities earlier that day.

I didn't cry anymore. I hadn't cried since the day my parents were murdered in front of me.

"What are we going to do with her? Breed her? Torture her more? She's a little girl!"
"Abigail! You knew what was going to happen! We created her; she is ours to do as we please. We successfully created life from death. This child is destined to birth life and death. And she will once we know the extent of what we've created." I had no idea what they were talking about and I was too exhausted to pay close attention.

"She's just an innocent child."

“She’s ours! She isn’t a child. Her mind is that of an adult. Shes trapped inside a child’s body. Don’t be fooled by the Gods, my sister. She is no innocent than we are.”

I fell asleep mid-way through the argument. I wasn’t sure why they were arguing over me. The witch Abigail seemed to be on my side and I had no idea.

Wake child. Wake up! I heard a voice in my head. I didn’t dream so I knew it wasn’t my mother’s voice I was simply remembering. Someone was putting their voice inside my head. My eyes snapped open to see Abigail above me. I flinched and backed into the wall.

You must go now! Go swim and leave. The witch insisted. I went to speak. No child! Do not speak do not make a noise. Go.

Why are you helping me? I wondered.

Because you are innocent. We were wrong to do this to you. We created you but I will stop us from destroying you. You must live little Esther. You must live so the creation continues. You are destined for greatness child. Your creations will stop wars, you will keep peace and reign in this world but you must be alive. You must live! You must, you must! She chanted and pulled me onto my feet. She ushered me out of my cell and over to the water again.

Hold your breath and swim like this. She said and made movements with her arms. Kick your legs as fast as you can child and swim. She said and pushed me into the water forcefully. The water shocked me and I was disorientated as I sank to the bottom of the pool.

Thank you. Was my last remaining thought. I hoped the witch heard it as I kicked to the opening of the cave.

---------

I swam as fast as I could until the water was getting shallower. I panicked. Where was the water going? When the water became too shallow to swim I stood up. The sun blared brightly and I shielded my eyes with my arm as I continued to walk up the sand. As my vision cleared I focused on my surroundings. I was on a beach, surrounding it was trees. Just hundreds of trees. I wanted to touch them and marvel at finally getting to see them but I knew I had to run. I had to get out of here before the other witches caught me. I took off running. I didn’t feel like I was running fast enough.

“Child!” Someone shouted. I knew it wasn’t a human. I didn’t know who it was, I faltered in my step when I saw a vampire standing right in front of me. “Are you okay child? You look scared.” He told me.

“I have to keep running. Im sorry” I told him.

“Wait!” he called and easily caught me.

I wish I had his speed. I’d be far gone. He grabbed my wrist and I felt the strangest feeling of power radiating through me. I gasped and he frowned as I placed my hand on his bare chest.

“What is wrong child?” he asked.

“I don’t know” I told him. “But I have to go.” I said and took off running. I gasped with the new speed I felt as I ran. I was suddenly a lot faster than I was before. I stared down at my hands to see a slight glow coming from them. Had I taken that man’s power? Had I taken his speed? As I ran faster I felt like laughing in delight.

I was free.

Izellah Bianca Neve

I dont have a picture of her as a baby, but this is her a little grown up, about the age of 7 (Technically 1-year-old)  - Click pictures to see larger versions

A graphic made by Beth (who knew about Izellah quite a few chapters ago)

As I said in the chapter, shes only a minor character but if you're curious as to who I viewed her as an adult it's Adelaide Kane (picture in LiP tab).

Lauren Green

I've had a few people asking me recently who I saw as Lauren (Chantelle's birth mother)

Lauren Green

After Kate asked me on twitter she made this amazing graphic!

~Nikki

Ashton Billy and Phoebe Sarah

With the birth of the two new Cullens i had to post pictures :) Im posting a picture of them as babies (big thanks to Toni, TrueTigress for this) and pictures of them a little older (about 3 years old) but bear in mind they are only babies, this just gives you an idea of how they will look towards the end of my story.

Nursery

The Twins as newborn babies

Ashton on the left, Phoebe on the right. (Thanks to TrueTigress)
(This is supposed to be the first ever picture taken of them, it is printed onto canvas and put between their cribs in their nursery as Alice suggested)

New Teasers

Anyone looking for a picture of grown up Avia look in the Forever After tab OR scroll past this post if you dont mind seeing teaser posters.


Holly and William teasers :) CLICK THEM TO SEE BIGGER VERSIONS

Holly and Jason Uley
I just couldnt get this one right, i dont like the way it turned out but it gives you an idea about them at least.

(Text: I came in like a wrecking ball, I never hit so hard in love. All I wanted was to break your walls.
All you ever did was wreck me)

All im going to say is that the quote could come from either of them (I will say the placement of the words is important ;)), i cant wait to finally get this story line going. I heard Wrecking Ball by Miley and all i could think about were Holly and Jason.




William and Sophia's Wedding

(Text: You are cordially invited to the wedding of Sophia Lauren Cullen and William Edward Black)

The two children in the picture are Phoebe and Ashton so it gives you a bit of an idea when exactly they're gunna get married (its a while off yet but they will before i end Forever After.) This was just something i made out of boredom and i thought it would be sweet to post as a teaser for their wedding.

Grown up Avia + More FanArt

So it dawned on me that Avia is going to be 10 years old pretty soon in Forever After, which means she is now fully grown and no longer a child, i feel like Chloe right now haha, i refuse to believe shes so grown up, its quite sad for me, her and Isobel have always been little kids in my head but Avia will be turning 10 on the 24th March 2035 and since the chapter im updating today is set in January 2035 its really not long now. On the plus side we can welcome new babies to the story, Ashton and Phoebe (William and Sophias twins) in March :)
I had to go on a search for the perfect Avia, i honestly think it was so hard for me because i couldnt let go of her as a child but i finally found someone that i thought was a good fit... After some suggestions on twitter from a few readers I decided that Shailene Woodley is Avia grown up (Huge thank you to MissRenesmeeCarlie for the suggestion)


Avia Chantelle Cullen

I also got a another piece of FanArt that has been updated in the tab above!
Thank you Kate (sibuna82twihard) :)

Lauren Black and Nick Clearwater

 

Just in time for me to update a Lauren chapter :)

Next Update

Im not sure when im going to be able to update next, im really sorry. i know i said the 9th of September but i havent even finished the next chapter yet. Im normally 2 or 3 chapters ahead of the one currently updated but ive fallen behind and lifes a bit hectic now. I know you all understand i just wanted to let you know, the next update will be the 14th at the earliest... im at a crucial point in my college work and im back at work (i work in a preschool) so i just need to get settled back into routine again.

I do have an extra coming for you guys in the next week though, it was a request from a reader (way of life) based a little after Living in Paradise with Bella and the Cullens meeting one of their descendants. That will be posted on my blog until i decide if i want to make a full story with it. (Will be after Living in Paradise is finished)

Ill update you as soon as i can!

New Story: The Story of Allesandra Cullen

This was requested by a bunch of people after the chapter of Living in Paradise where Bella tells Lexi the story of the first Alexandra Cullen, its been a story that has been on my mind for a while, i actually dreamt the scene of them going to save her and wrote it down so i wouldnt forget. So i wrote it out in full and its now on FanFiction.

Warning to those that read my current storys, if you want to remain completely spoiler free do not read this story until i have finished Forever After, it is revealled who Matthew's mate is and who he meets and falls in love with at the END of Forever After. You have been warned.

Read it here: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9667247/1/The-Story-of-Allesandra-Cullen-of-the-Volturi


~Nikki

Nelifia tab

I had a few requests (Beth, sibuna826twihard and 2 anonymous) after my latest chapter of Living in Paradise to create a tab like my Luna Bambini tab that explains the Nelifia, it is mostly complete but i may add some things into it later the more i think about where i want the story of the mermaids to go, i could possibly have forgotten a few things that ive already brought up too.
So go read that if you want to get up to speed on my new creation :)
Thanks for all the support with Living in Paradise!
~Nikki

P.S. I had to shuffle around my tabs since adding a new one would mess it all up, I had to merge three tabs into one to make The Renesmee Trilogy tab instead of having all three stories seperate, all pictures and information is still there, just under one tab instead of three.

Allesandra Cullen and Lexi Pictures

Like i said in the last Living in Paradise chapter i actually dreamt the story of Allesandra and i managed (after 2 hours of painfully looking through movies id seen) to find the little girl i saw in my dream and i thought id post it here so you can all see. I also went searching for Lexi :)

Allesandra (Alexandra) Cullen

New Fanart and Poll!

I got some lovely fanart of Holly, Avia, Lidiya and Anelie.
Thank you so much Enakshi i love it.

(click to make it bigger)

If you have some fanart or a fanvideo you wish to send me make sure you email me (bellanessiecullenff@gmail.com) or send me a tweet (bellanesscullen)! I always get so excited seeing new fanart.

 
Ive also added a new poll to both my blog and FanFiction profile, i want to know your favourite POV and pairings, who do you like reading the most or who would you like to hear from more, let me know!Ive only opened the poll to vote on the kids because people like Nessie/Jake, Eddie/Chloe and Zio/Chanti will be 'weaved' in and out of the chapters anyway. It will be easier for me to structure my chapters if i know who people want to hear from.
~Nikki

Big Picture Update

Recently updated a bunch of the pictures. Some of them were changed from the original models to more well known actors as it can be confusing with all the fanvideos out there, for example, Chloe, who was portrayed by, unknown model Alyssa Richards, to Nina Dobrev who portrays her in the fanvideos people have made me. Ive also updated most of the childrens pictures to more current ones (As of 2034) and added new ones, eg Aleksander Balev.

Instead of reposting them on this post I'll just list the ones that have added/changed:
Younger Eddie Cullen - Renesmee's Childhood tab
Younger Zac James - Renesmee's Childhood tab
Chloe Elliot - Renesmee's Teenage Story tab
Teenage Zac James -  Renesmee's Teenage Story tab
Teenage Emma Hall -  Renesmee's Teenage Story tab
Older Chantelle Cullen - Renesmee's Forever tab
Older Pancrazio Cullen - Renesmee's Forever tab
Chloe, Nessie and Chanti's engagement rings - Renesmee's Forever tab
Chantelle's Wedding Dress and bridesmaids - Renesmee's Forever tab
Lauren Black (17) - Forever After tab
Zachary Black (17) - Forever After tab
Anthony Black (17) - Forever After tab
Isobel Black (7) - Forever After tab
Avia Cullen (11) - Forever After tab
Nick Clearwater - Forever After tab
Middle Aged Zac James - Forever After tab
Aleksander Balev - The Luna Bambini tab
Christian Wright - The Luna Bambini tab


Im going to find a picture for Zac James (young and older), ie Renesmee and Chloe's best friend since hes always played a part in my story and a younger Emma. I'll edit this post when I've added them.
~Nikki

EDIT: Added pictures of Zac at 3 ages and Emma as a teenager.

Teaser Poster: Chantelle Remembers

The most dangerous place to be is between a mother and her child...

Quote: Chantelle Cullen, Chapter 26, Forever After.




I wanted to make another teaser poster to show the next chapter in Matthew's story. I used Britt Robertson instead of the original actress i had as Chantelle because there was so many more pictures to choose from with her, i only have the one picture of my original actress and i wanted something different. Can safely assume this is who i see as older Chantelle, she is the actress i tell my readers to use in fanvideos. Matthew is Cooper from the Shaytards.
~Nikki

I will be updating this chapter in Chanti and Matthew's POV tomorrow!

Elizabeth Cullen + Fanvideo

So as you all know ive updated a new story, this is the picture of Edward and Bella's newest daughter, if you want a little fact file on her, go to the Luna Bambini tab and scroll down until you see her picture, it will tell you a bit more about her if you havent read the chapter.

EDIT:
Beth sent me a new fanvideo for Living in Paradise, its just how i imagined it.

New Tab about the Moon Pool Children

I was asked by Beth, a close friend of mine who reads my stories if i could write out a 'factfile' of the Moon Pool Children. I said i didnt really have time but she was more than welcome to do it herself,
I knew her favourite character was Eddie and when ever ive seen her in the past she'd always have questions about him or Esther.

So for the past few weeks, when ever i saw Beth, which is nearly every Sunday, she would be asking me questions that she couldnt answer by rereading my stories and we've been writing this factfile together slowly but surely.
Its finally finished, she did the most of it but i helped her with the history and especially Esther, as a lot of it hasnt been revealled yet in my main story. Nor has the origin of the Moon Pool children.
So its finally finished and i said i would put it on my blog for others to see if they really wanted to know.
Its in the style of the Official Illustrated Guide that Stephenie wrote a few years ago.

Be warned its quite long and a little spoilery :) i honestly didnt realise how much i had put into the moon pool children but its really nice to see it written out. So click on the tab titled 'The Luna Bambini' if you wish to read it :)

~Nikki

FanArt Update

Ive recently updated my fanvideo playlist, had a few more videos sent my way, thank you so much to TheMegatwilightsaga on Youtube for those.

Ive also had some graphics from Beth. The Esther and Eddie one is my favourite one ever i think.

(Click to make the graphics bigger)

Esther and Eddie

Lidiya, Holly and Avia

Holly Cullen - This one is a teaser for Holly's future story line, Beth asked me for a quote and this is what i told her to use :)

If you have ever made any graphics/videos based on my stories please dont hesitate to send them my way, i LOVE seeing them. Easiest way is via Email or Twitter.

~Nikki

Older Lidiya

Someone requested a picture of Lidiya as an adult... I realise that the actress i chose is actually only 15 but i always thought she looks older that her age and Lidiya is only physically 17 or 18 anyway. Ive always had Elle in my head as Lidiya and so im posting a picture of her, i did look for someone else but i just couldnt find someone that replaced her in my head.
When i write i see the scene in my head, if i write a scene between Jacob and Nessie, i see Taylor Lautner and Lily Collins in my head, same goes with every other character. Those i make up i write a description in my head of what they look like, e.g. for lidiya, shes blonde, blue eyed, very much like her father, Aleksander. Shes tall for her age and is very elegant. I have a description in my head of every character ive ever written, however small their part was in my stories. I either draw on this description and im normally able to instantly match an actress/model that ive seen on the internet/in a movie/tv show or if i cant, i go looking for one.
