Daedalus in Exile, Ch. 5-7
Chapter 5
----------
Your descriptions of the inanimate things in this chapter really helped put me in the moment. I felt like I was there watching the colors dance off the metal frame of the mattress. I could smell it. That was awesome.
Though, I have to say, my favorite thing in this chapter was Edward in the store. I can only imagine how daunting that trip to be for someone who NEEDED nothing in that store. hehehe.
Chapter 6
----------
Well...there is a twist. Amnesia. Edward has a larger window to avoid the truth of how they both came to be there, and their shared history. Clever, clever...
We also have hit the tip of the iceberg of the fact that the Cullens continued to live out a full "life" in Forks after Edward left that included Bella. He sees it as a betrayal, but they were just living their lives as he forced them to ignore his. This will be interesting to see what happens when/if the family enters into this situation.
Alice promised not to look into Edward's future, but she has no such agreement with Bella.
Chapter 7
----------
It is interesting to read an Edward who is not denying his vampiric nature. We so rarely get to see him in his predatory element. I loved his internal monologue on her reactions and how he knew this was just a mediocre substitute for what it was he really wanted. It's the vampire version of dating girls that look like the one you really desire.
Then there is his conversation with Carlisle. How long before he can't stand lying to his mentor? How long before Alice looks at Bella's future, and finds her with Edward by her side in HIS cabin? Edward himself almost gave himself away with the glue/stitches revelation. He's starting to build up a house of cards.
