Bella has no idea how she ended up in this perfectly tidy house that oozed out richness and wealth. One moment she was going through her life normally and the next, she was being beaten up to unconsciousness. She can't help but realize that her kidnapping has something to do with her father's occupation. Born and brought up with luxuries, she had never questioned Charlie's ability to throw money at her in every way, but when rumors started spreading around like wildfire by the time she was in high school, she knew she had to escape from him; she wanted to play no part in accepting his life as a mob-boss of Chicago. So she fled away to college and changed her name from Miss Isabella Marie Francon to Miss Isabella Marie Swan. It had been a few years of no contact between daughter and father, and now that she had been kidnapped, she couldn't help but feel as though Charlie was behind it. But when she gets out of the room she is in and meets a certain wild haired man with piercing green eyes who claims to be her father's enemy, she knows she is in deep trouble.

The spark between them is instant, but definitely uncomfortable at first. Bella is unable to meet his sharp gaze and his behaviors are starting to give her whiplash. He seems to be cruel for keeping her hostage in his house, and yet at the same time he offers her free reign to roam around his house and have meals with him during supper. When he suddenly approaches her one night to claim her as his, there is nothing she can do but allow him to have his way with her. What shocks her the most is that instead of being disgusted with the man for his actions, she feels desire. And somehow, she wants that connection with him over and over again just like him. She can't help but find the goodness in this dark man who seemed to only soften his eyes when he was staring into her own brown ones. What happened to Edward that caused him to play tortuously painful music in the wee hours of the night? And why is he filled with vengeance towards her father - what did Charlie do? Amidst all this violence and fear and suspense, combined with pasts filled with pain and sorrow, could their love make it?

Believe it or not, I just finished reading this story, and jumped to reviewing it as soon as I was done! If you are a huge fan of mafia-ward/mob-ward like I am, then this story will make it to your list of top ten. I absolutely adored this fanfiction and am so very grateful for that random email in MSB's inbox one morning that urged me to go read this story. LeeCullen89 has portrayed two beautiful characters and I found myself falling in love with her broken Edward. One thing I have to say to the audience is, please have patience with him. In the first few chapters, you may not agree with his actions, but have faith because our dear Edward has his reasons for everything. Yes, there is a chapter of rape between Edward and Bella, but I can't emphasize enough to you all : Don't let that stop you from reading the story! You have to understand that they both come from the dark world, and Edward has gone through some very f**ked up past that led him to where is now. And even while you are reading that particular chapter, you will feel that Bella is really not as apposed to it physically and she realizes that Edward never really hurt her, but his way of going about everything was incorrect. This story is about true love that strives to survive in the cruel mob world. Don't miss it guys, it's a MUST READ!!!

Lords of the Gangland consists of 20 chapters and a total of 65,018 words. The story is rated M for a rape scene, language, and sexual content.

Bella Swan's life isn't great at all. After her mother left the family, her father Charlie has turned for the worst and has gotten abusive. However, Bella never complains and does exactly what she is ordered to do by 'dearest daddy', hoping that her father is only going through a 'phase' he might soon overcome. But just when she thinks that her life can't get any worse, she is taken by two strangers one unfortunate day and before she can even comprehend who they are, she feels a sharp sting on her neck that causes her to lose consciousness. When she finally comes to, she manages to overhear a conversation and learns that she is meant to be brought right in the middle of a human trafficking business - something that most definitely means endless physical torture and could eventually cost her her life. Lucky for Bella, Edward Cullen - the youngest heir of the Cullen trafficking business - 'buys' her and claims her as his. Although Bella is completely terrified by her surroundings, she is eventually able to trust Edward as he doesn't turn out to be like all the others. In fact, he vows to not hurt her in any way and keep her safe. Furthermore, the fact that her father doesn't even so much as bother to file a missing report for his daughter, destroys Bella's last hope that he will ever come around. But will she survive in such a cruel world with only one man she can truly trust? Will Edward be able to save her from his harsh reality?

Vindicated is a very unique story with a twisted plot-line. From the fic's very first sentence I was hooked, especially due to Bella's horrible life and the weight she carries on her shoulders. Being in a household where someone is violent is never easy to live with, yet JacklynnFrost portrays her as being very mature despite the circumstances and the reader is able to connect with her really well. The events of the fanfic take an unexpected turn when Bella is eventually kidnapped, even more so because she was taken by a mob family that earns its living with human trafficking. And though Bella is extremely fearful of the scene that is unfolding in front of her eyes, she is able to trust Edward (albeit after much convincing from his side) and soon realizes that he might be one of the few men out of his ridiculously dangerous family who is actually good; one who does not want to be part of this whole mess. I definitely think this story should be given a try! With great characters and a wonderful plot, it will most likely give you readers out there a very different side of Mobward! 

Vindicated consists of 23 chapters and a total of 138,013 words. The story is rated M for brief descriptions of abuse, language, and sexual activities.

He was told to stay away from her and her kind; she was told that he was from a dangerous family. Two rival families - the Swans and the Cullens - come together in this wonderful Twilight version of Romeo & Juliet.

Edward and Bella first meet when they are just twelve years old - at the funeral of Charlie Swan, king of the drug trafficking business and father of Bella. Even at such a tender age, the two of them are already aware of their families' rivalry, yet can't help but get lost in each other's eyes and begin to form a secret friendship. But there are complications. Bella is told that Carlisle Cullen, Edward's adoptive father and Charlie's successor, is responsible for the murder of her father. At the same time, Edward is told that it was Bella's now expired father, who was behind the death of his biological father, Edward Snr. Despite these rather unfavorable circumstances, the two of them hope that one day, their families can overcome their differences - everyone is just human after all. And even if there is an animosity between the Cullens and the Swan, why should they suffer from it? 

After years of separation, the two meet again when they are both eighteen and they recognize each other right away. White lilies, a token Edward gave Bella at her father's funeral, help reunite the two friends; friends, whose sexual tension so palpable that they continue seeing each other, despite their families' feud. Before they know it, they are completely in love with each other and both are adamant on finding out the truth behind the murders of Edward Snr. and Charlie. The two star crossed lovers try to solve mystery after mystery; unraveling the secrets from their pasts while simultaneously wanting nothing more than to be together forever. And even though Carlisle and Esme are surprisingly supportive of Edward's new girlfriend (ultimately, they only have the best interest for their (adoptive) son in mind), it will be hard for Edward and Bella to reach their HEA. Will their love bring the two families together or ruin everyone even more than before?

If you are a fan of Romeo & Juliet, I guarantee that you will love this story to pieces - so much so that you will want to read it over and over and over again. Hoodfabulous will definitely have you wrapped around her finger when you are reading this fabulous fanfic of hers. Honestly, I was more than surprised to find that this story is pretty under-appreciated because it definitely deserves all the compliments in the world and a big 'chapeau'! Not only are the characters well-portrayed and far from being one-dimensional, but the author also manages to elicit a variety of emotions from you while you read. I should probably warn you that this story does contain character death (not Edward or Bella) and although this will bring tears to your eyes - I know it did for me, which is extremely hard to accomplish - it only intensifies how great this story really is. Top this off with the amazing plot and you have a fanfiction that will have you completely hooked from the start. It is a story that has it all and you will surely be missing out on a lot if you do not read it! I REALLY promise, it is SO worth your time!

Dirty South Drug Wars consists of 40 chapters and a total of 239,801 words. The story is rated M for language, some violence, and hot smut.

Twenty-one year old Isabella del Cigno (cigno means swan in Italian) is the daughter of the infamous mob boss Charlie del Cigno. The latter is absolutely deadly, ruthless, cunning - and wanted by the FBI. Fortunately for him, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has so far been unable to come up with enough evidence to bring Charlie down, which is why they send one of their best agents to investigate undercover... Meanwhile, Isabella lives the life of the mafia elite. She might not be  directly involved in the criminal business of her father but definitely inherited his sharp personality and love of all things glamorous. Whatever her heart desires and can be bought with money is hers: fast cars, expensive jewelry, extravagant clothes - there's almost nothing she can't have. Almost, because the thing she wants the most seem out of her reach: freedom from her slightly overbearing father. Because out of fear that Isabella could become the next target of his archenemies, the Volturis, Charlie is extremely protective of his only child. He demands that Bella will take a bodyguard with her wherever she goes and before she knows it, the young woman is constantly surrounded by one Edward Cullen.

Edward Cullen, twenty-six year old special agent with the FBI, has agreed to infiltrate the del Cigno Syndicate and gather evidence on mob boss Charlie. After risking his life to save the latter, Edward is able to gain the trust of the family and quickly works his way through the ranks. Eventually, he is hired as Bella's bodyguard and is initially less than thrilled about it. Edward thinks of Bella as a whiny and self-centered bitch, who cares about nothing but her luxurious life style. But there is something about her that really draws him to her. Due to an incident in his troublesome past, the young undercover agent has great difficulties with being touched by others. Yet while he usually flinches or gets seizures from a simple handshake, Bella's touch calms him down and makes him yearn for more. It also doesn't take long for Edward to realize that his protegé is far from being cold-hearted as he believed. Rather it is a mask Bella puts on to hide her true self from the world. Just as the two start pursuing whatever is going on between them, the Cigno family finds out that the Volturi have put a bounty on Isabella's head. As the last heir of the Cigno's legacy, she's the only thing standing between the Volturi and absolute power. Will Edward be able to keep his girl alive? And can he find a way to keep both Bella and his job?

tufano79 has created an amazing mafia story that will steal your heart for eternity! This fanfiction contains everything that you can possibly think of: well-rounded characters, a sexually intense connection between Edward and Bella, and a suspenseful plot that will leave you on the edge of your seats! Though you may find Bella slightly annoying in the beginning of the fanfiction, it isn't hard to figure out that she is just trying to protect herself and her family by keeping up a mask. You have to keep in mind that being the only heir of  a crime syndicate is a pressure lying heavily on her shoulders. One mistake, and the safety of the whole family is at risk. But Bella soon realizes that she can trust Edward and their love story begins. You might have the urge to smack both of them from time to time, for their stubbornness, but eventually their romance will leave you breathless. I don't think this story will leave out any emotions within you and the best part is that you will be able to easily flow through the events of the story since it is a drabble fic. Through the points of view of the different characters tufano79 tells her story. Mafia Princess is definitely not to be missed and deserves a round of applause! :D

Ever since her parents died under tragic circumstances, her brother Jasper is all the family Bella Swan has left. He raised her under the most difficult circumstances and always made sure that she was safe and had everything she needed. After years if living in Forks, the two eventually move to Chicago where Jasper gets a lucrative job offer that will allow him to put his degree in business to use. He applies for the position as manager of the night club "Hades" and is accompanied by Bella when he goes to the job interview. There, the siblings meet club owner Edward Cullen, a devastatingly handsome young man, who oozes power and menace. Bella feels immediately drawn to him. Even though she is very well aware that he might be danger personified and could provide her with the biggest heartbreak of her life, she just can't stay away from him. Like a moth pulled to a flame, the 24-year old woman is completely under Edward's spell. Being with him could mean her end but the moment her eyes meet his, there is no way out for her anymore...

Edward Cullen, née Masen, is one of the most powerful man in Chicago. He works for the Volturi syndicate and has chances of becoming the new Don. With his father putting him under his wing at an early age, Edward grew up with murder, drugs, prostitution, and violence. He shot his father's killer at the tender age of 16 and never learned what it means to love and care. When his mother Esme marries successful doctor Carlisle Cullen, Edward breaks with his family and hardly ever sees them. He doesn't care about finding a woman to share his life with, he hates children, and refuses to lose control. However, when Bella enters his office, everything Edward thinks he knows seems to slip through his fingers. Suddenly, there is someone he deeply cares about, even though he doesn't like to admit it. His "babydoll", whom he asks to become his new secretary to keep her close, quickly becomes his whole life and other women, drugs, and even his dangerous lifestyle are forgotten or at least pushed to the background. Unfortunately, the mafia member has no idea how to love, much less how to treat women, which leads to lot's of confusion and heart break. What happens when Bella demands to know what he does for a living? Will he be able to share his dark world with her without risking her life?

Like a Moth to a Flame stars one of the most popular "-wards" in Twilight fanfictions: Mobward. Edward Cullen is all we want in a badass (soon-to-be) mafia boss: he is lethal, ruthless, has a more than colorful language, and uses drugs and whores. He is danger and power personified and incredibly sexy. But he is also an emotional cripple and has difficulties being in a normal relationship with Bella. He is controlling, jealous, and often very rude. Some things he says to his babydoll when he has another one of his fits of rage are really hurtful. But he is also willing to learn and thanks to Bella's wit, her stubbornness and talent to cook great meals, she quickly has him wrapped around her little finger. These two are meant to be with each other! No matter how much they try telling themselves otherwise, the immense pull they feel toward another, makes them always stay close. It's not up to Bella and Edward anymore if they want to be with each other or not - something inside of them, something they cannot control forces them to gravitate around each other. Even if it could mean their doom. They are drawn to each other, emotionally as well as sexually. Some schmexy lemons are waiting for you; they are so hot, they will make you fan yourselves! If you're in need of a handsome and dangerous Edward, obsessive love, great lemons, and a good amount of angst, Like a Moth to a Flame is definitely it for you! The whole story is written from both Edward's and Bella's POV.

Like a Moth to a Flame consists of 41 chapters (incl 6 outtakes) and an estimated 200,000 words. The story is rated MA for lemons, violence, and profanities.  A sequel is currently being published, La Famiglia.

One fateful day, Bella Swan is at the wrong place at the wrong time and watches a man getting brutally murdered. Before she knows it, she finds herself being kidnapped by the criminals responsible for the killing and realizes quickly that her life now lies in the hands of mafia boss Edward Cullen. Although many of his colleagues suggest otherwise, Edward decides to spare Bella's life and keep her hostage. For two years, the young woman is held against her will, away from her family, and forced to live a life she doesn't want. Even though Edward makes it a habit to check on her every few hours, he refuses to delve into a single line of information about his business and her fate. Over time, Bella develops feelings for the rough and vioent hunk of a mob boss, despite the fact that he kills people for a living, has obvious anger management issues and is absolutely clueless about her feelings for him. How can she possibly hope for any kind of future with a man so void of emotions? Or does he feel something but tries to ignore it? His behavior toward her is definitely giving her whiplas as one minute he looks at her in an adoring way and the next he pulls at her hair, telling her to keep their secrets.What should Bella make of all that and what happens when Edward is forced to marry her?

JessAndTAT have written a beautiful story with an interesting plot line! The fanfiction will catch your attention from the very first sentence and you won't be able to stop reading until you reach the ending. The way Bella tries to soften Edward's hard demeanour is portrayed in a pretty emotional way. You will pray that Edward will eventually get his head out of his ass so that he sees that he can and should trust Bella, but his job forces him to be suspicious of everyone as as he can never know who will try to deceive him. Though there are some cringe moments in the story, where Edward's reactions seem a bit over the top, keep in mind that he has been living the life of a mob boss for a very long time and doesn't know better than to be angry and treating people unfairly. But don't worry folks, it isn't long until he finally realizes that Bella is meant to be in his life and that he loves her - a lot; and once he does, be prepared for a lot of hot lemons! The story is written from Bella's POV.

Reluctant Devotion consists of 25 chapters and 42,481 words. It is rated M for language, violence, and sexual activities.

Growing up, Bella Swan has never had the normal childhood that every kid should have. Instead, she had to go through abuse after abuse in the worst possible way, including getting hit by her own father. So when she is finally thrown out of the house, she is glad to be able to excape the brutality of the man who fathered her. But as weeks go by, Bella has to realize that life on the road is horrendous, to put it mildly. She has no place to sleep, no clothes, and no food. On a good day, she may happen to find a some fresh scrap of food that she digs up from the trash. And it is exactly on one of these days, when she happens to overhear a crucial encounter of a man by three men while sitting in a dumpser; munching on some pizza. Bella witnesses the murder of a man and watches his killers trying to dispose of his body. The men then detect a terrified looking Bella, who blacks out the moment she realizes she's been caught...

One of the three criminals, Edward, decides that the girl is not to be killed and takes her to a personal doctor. There, he has the phyiscian treat her malnourished and battered body. As Bella regains consciousness, Edward decides to keep her at his house, in order to protect her from the other members of his gang. What neither of them realize is that, as time goes on, they will find their perfect match in one another... But will Edward be able to protect her from his dangerous job and love her at the same time?

Mobward is back, everyone, and this particular one definitely has a gentler side! When I read this story, I was really captivated from the start and apart from the fabulous plot itself, I think what really made me connect to it was that it made me realizes that often, we take many things for granted. As you read through Bella's struggle for a bed to sleep in or finding some freshly cooked food, it occurs to you that we can be happy for always having access for these very basic necessities in life! Furthermore, the fanfiction is really heart-warming and alternates between Edward and Bella's point of view (and rarely other characters). That allows the reader to clear up any possible confusions that may or may not have come up in previous chapters. More than anything, you get to feel for Edward, who has developed a heart of stone from his job in the underworld, and Bella, who has to learn that not everyone is cruel and that Edward might be worth trusting. Reading this story was a really good and unique experience. The chapters are relatively short and will allow you to finished the story in no time. Get prepared to be blown away with BruiserSkinGirl's beautifully written story!

Survival of the Fittest consists of 45 chapters and 82,094 words. The story is rated M for some violent content, language, and sexual references/activities. The author has also already published a sequel, Surviving As the Fittest.

When Bella Swan made the decision to move to her father Charlie to the small town of Forks, Washington, all she wanted was to get away from her nerve-wrecking mother and a too touchy-feely stepdad. Yet now that she was there, she couldn't help but feel bored out of her mind. In order to leave that place as quickly as possible, Bella puts all her energy into studying and tries to let nothing get in the way with her high school graduation. So because the 17-year-old is always busy putting her nose into books, she hardly interacts with her fellow class mates. Somehow, however, Mike Newton has made it into her life - supposedly the sweetest guy of the school, something that Bella really can't understand. So even though she doesn't like him at all, being with him has its advantages, and as long as there is no kissing and fondling, Mike was somewhat bearable. Moreover, without him, Bella would have never run into Edward Cullen at the diner. A moment that changes her life forever because when she looks him in the eyes, she knows right away, that all she wants is being with him. No matter what that actually means...

Because Edward Cullen is no ordinary school boy. With his 18 years of age, he did not only graduate a year early but is also third in command of the biggest mafia family of the U.S. west coast. The Cullen clan has pretty much every casino, hotel, and club under its control and Edward grew up with murder, blackmailing, and money. Lot's of money! Together with his parents Carlisle and Esme, his sister Alice and her boyfriend Jasper and his cousin Emmett and his fiancé Rose, he lives in a luxurious house in the outskirts of Forks - with no one having an idea who they really are. Edward meets Bella for the first time when he sees Mike Newton at the diner to get the money back he owes him. Totally enchanted by Bella, or "Princess" as he always (!) calls her, he asks her to come with him and the gang to pay some members of the Cullens' biggest enemy, the Volturis, a visit. Before she knows it, Bella finds herself in the middle of guns, lot's of blood, and an aweful amount of adrenaline. Though she should be despised by Edward's actions and fear him to no end, she sees right away, that, inside, "E" is actually a nice guy. As is his family. Too bad she forgot to mention to her new friends that she is the Police Chief's daughter...

Let me tell you right away that this story has it's flaws. You'll find lot's of typos and some grammatical mistakes in it. The plot is, at some points, a bit rushed so that weeks sometimes pass within only a few paragraphs. However, the characters described are all very lovable and funny! Even though Rose and Edward would die for each other, they can't live a single moment without insulting one another. In general, the Cullen clan likes to use very colorful language, something Bella needs some time getting used to. Expect a lot of "fucks" and "shits" but keep in mind that they don't really mean to hurt each other! With that said, it's completely normal for the guys to pull out there guns and threaten to kill each other if they are in an argument. The way they all handle the everyday business of murder, drug dealing, and the police breathing down their necks, is often hilarious and you can't help but shake your head in disbelief. The story, which is completey written from Bella's POV, took CLWN a long time to complete. Admittedly, the last chapters are a bit rushed and you won't get to the prologue until the very end, but all in all, The Princess and the E is very entertaining! There's close to no angst (!) but lot's of blood and death. Enjoy!

The Princess and the E consists of 31 chapters and a total of 214,813 words. The story is rated MA for lemons, violence, and foul language.

1958: and Edward Medici gets out of prison and returns to his old neighborhood with a mission. The people who were the reason he spent the last ten years behind bars - the rats in his organization - would pay for what they did. However, a little vixen named Isabella Picara crosses his path and distracts him from his plan. He is enamored by the young thing and is forced to make a decision: go after Isabella or settle for the wife he already has. You know what they say: young women can act silly, but men like Edward Medici make bold gestures.

This story is written to represent the decade it is set in. The 1950s were certainly a different time, but more so for the women than for the men. This Gangstaward is tough, sometimes cruel, and a bit chauvinistic. This is not a sweet Edward, he had his moments, but this story is certainly not for the angst wimps. He is a child of the era, and while that certainly doesn’t excuse his treatment of his wife, it is what is it. Honestly, this fic made us think we were bipolar. One chapter we were happy and hating all those against Edward and Bella, and the next chapter we were crying our eyes out and hating Edward and Bella. Even our like and dislike for the other characters bounced like a pogo stick, but that shows how well Miss Lexi writes these crazy characters. It was easy to establish a connection with all of them and with the story in general.

 
Bold Gestures is told in both Edward and Bella’s point of view, so you will get the two sides of the coin. It certainly helps to understand why Bella started her chase for Edward in the first place, even though she knew who he was and to whom he was married to. They are both human and make mistakes, but at the end of the day, you can’t help but to wish them the best. We are not gonna lie, we hated the fact Edward got involved with someone so young, but it takes two to tango, and Bella certainly gave chase as much as Edward. In the end, the story did exactly what we were looking for: it pulled us in, made us fall for the main characters, it had a consistent plot, and then gave us the happy ending we were rooting for. We just went through a gamut of emotions and cursed out a lot, not to mention it costs us a jar of nutella in Ana’s case and a bottle of vodka in Mel’s, but we believe the story was worth it. Go ahead, angst lovers. Give it shot!

Bold Gestures consists of 22 chapters and 123,233 words. The story is rated M for language, violence and sexual activities/references.

Bella Swan is helping organize the wedding and subsequent wedding reception of Rosalie Hale and Emmett McCarthy. No big deal really. Okay, maybe a small deal - after all, more than 400 guests need to be entertained and taken care of. What Bella doesn't know is that the brief and silent eye contact she has with a handsome stranger later that night, would change her life  forever... Because the man whose attention she caught is no other than Edward Cullen, son of Carlisle Cullen, and currently the most influential and powerful man in the whole of Chicago. Only a couple of years ago, Edward has taken over the mafia business from his father and is now involved in more or less legal activities. Yet, the Cullens are far from ruthless and brutal as they make it a habit to regularly donate money to a variety of charities in and around Chicago. And as Esme Cullen's brother died because of drugs, the clan vehemently refuses to have anything to do with drug-trafficking and/or dealing. That said, every member of the family (even Esme) carries a gun at all times and has no problem making quick work of people getting in their way...

Furthermore, what a Cullen wants, a Cullen gets. So when Edward decides to pursue the beautiful wedding planer Bella Swan he intents not to stop until she is his. Bella is informed by her father, police officer Charles Swan, that Edward has an interest in her and wants to invite her on a date. Surprisingly, despite the fact that Charlie and the Cullens stay on different sides of the law, they get along more than well (due to an old friendship between Bella's father and Carlisle). Charlie convinces his daughter to give Edward a chance and once Bella agress to go on a date, she realizes that Edward is far from being the bad guy: she meets a romantic, charminging, protective, family-loving man, who is deeply in love with her. But is Bella willing to become the wife of a mob boss?

Shamrocks and Shenanigans is written exceptionally well and mostly from Bella's point of view. Nevertheless, at the beginning of  almost every chapter we get a glimpse into Edwards mind as the incredibly funny author mathisson engages him a in a lively conversation about the latest events. In fact, it was one of these entertaining talks that were the reason for mathisson to begin writing the story in the first place. Just like our very dear Stephenie Meyer she met Edward in a dream and the rest, as they say, is history... Edward is absolutely wonderful, just like we want him. He is fiercely protective and is willing to break the nose of every guy even remotely staring at Bella. He basically worships the ground Bella is walking on and doesn't hide the fact that he wants her to be his wife and the mother of his children *sigh*. Of course, the latter is a guarantee for great lemons! Shamrocks & Shenanigans is a wonderful story that has it all, humor, great new characters, suspense, and an Edward to drool over!

Shamrocks and Shenanigans consists of 30 chapters and a total of 107,001 words. The story is rated MA for violence, foul language and lemons. mathisson also published a sequel, Claddagh and Chaos.

She makes a living by working in a small Irish pub as a barkeeper and is even able to make some new friends.

In an act of bravery Bella saves her fellow customers by beating the sh** out of one intruder, causing the arrival of the police and a huge media frenzy.

Scared that her face would be on TV stations and newspapers countrywide Bella flees from the scene - chased by Edward. She manages to leave him behind, yet his green eyes would haunt her for the next couple of days.

It it isn't so long until she sees Edward again, who, she knows, is the son of notorious mob boss Carlisle Cullen.

Bella remains a member of the staff and she and Edward get more than close. It becomes clear to both of them that they have just found the person they would want to spend the rest of their lives with. Too bad, that Edward's ex-girlfriend Tanya (and according to his father Carlisle, the future Mrs. Cullen), won't leave him alone and Bella's stalker James finds and threatens her on the grand re-opening of the club.

Breakaway Bella is Hoodfabulous' first fanfiction and you will notice that while reading. As the story is unbeta'ed there are a number of typos and grammatical mistakes. Sometimes one and the same work is used twice or thrice in one sentence. That said, Breakaway Bella does show a lot of Hoodfabulous' big potential. The plot is interesting and she did a good job on some of the new characters that are introduced - first and foremost Tia. Next to a lot of violence and rape (!) the fanfiction contains a good amount of humor that will hardly leave your eyes dry. Emmett's character description, however, might be a litte bit too ridiculous for some of you. His fear of little people or choice of Halloween costumes might make you shake your head disapprovingly. As far as Edward and Bella go, their relationship is fast, really fast. They see each other and, bang, they know they've found their soulmate. Within the first fifth of the story both realize their love for one another and Edward even has visions of him and Bella married and with children. It is Edward's possessiveness, Carlisle's strict adherence to family traditions, and Bella's abusive stalker that keep the two from having a real relationship. Yes, Breakaway Bella might have its flaws, but I personally think that Hoodfabulous' debut is worth to be recommended!

Breakaway Bella consists of 35 chapters and a total of 193,977 words. The story is rated MA for foul language, violence, angst, and graphic description of sexual activities. Please only read the fanfiction if you are 18 years or older.

There are a couple of fanfictions out there that are widely known and immensely successful. johnnyboy7's There Will Be Blood is definitely one of them.

Bella Swan is a student at Northwestern and meets Edward Cullen in a club. She feels unbelievably drawn to him, but doesn't know that she is about to fall for one of the most dangerous men on the planet. Edward is the first-born son of Carlisle Cullen, boss of the Cullen mafia clan. The Cullens pretty much rule the criminal world. Not rarely does the life of Edward and his brothers Emmett and Jasper consist of murder, drugs, and never-ending sex. Edward uses women like others use underwear: every day there is a new blonde, brunette, or redhead in his bed. Yet when he meets Bella, things start to change as he wants her but she refuses to be used. All of a sudden, Edward has to learn how to fight for what he wants instead of having it being served on a silver platter. And soon he knows that once he has her, he won't be able to let her go.

There Will Be Blood is an amazingly thrilling story. Though it takes some time to get used to the very dark world the Cullens live in the characters are interesting and absolutely believable. There are unforeseen twists and turns and you always expect things to change for the worse. Without giving too much away, I can guarantee that you will hate the ending and will be in desperate need to read the sequel!

There Will Be Blood consists of 42 chapters and a total of 319,532 words. All characters are human. The story is rated MA for highly mature content. If you are under the age of 18, I'll really advise you not to read the fanfiction. A sequel has also been published: There Will Be Freedom.
