  1. Okay...I know I've reviewed this topic many times, and I have a few theories, but lets see if I can remember some.
    Jacob is a possibility, but I've almost ruled him out. Not quiet, but almost. He's still a suspect.
    We have Lauren, and again, it's more then likely not her either.
    Here are the two that are a stand out for me right now.
    We have Ian. I know we don't know much, and he's just recently shown his head, but he's rubbing me the wrong way right now. If you want to know my theories, go check out the reviews for this story.
    Then we have Victoria. I have a theory on her too. If you don't mind going back that far to read it, then please be my guest. You might get a kick out of it.

  2. Wow, here I am thinking about who it could be and I never even THOUGHT about Victoria. Shame on me!

    After Bella ripped Jacob a new one I've ALMOST decided it isn't him. There is still a 10% chance it could be and I do love being able to hate Jacob.

    *sigh* I don't know who the heck it is, but it's fun trying to figure out!

  3. I think I'm going to stick with Jacob for now. Maybe he's the obvious answer, but I think it works. He would know enough about Bella's schedule to be all of the places that she has been photographed. He would be able to get close without being too conspicuous.

    I do like Jenn's Victoria theory. I hadn't really considered that. It's definitely something to think about.

  5. Okay...I'm gonna say some things that I know about this stalker person. I've already posted my guesses already, but here is something for people to think about.

    A lot of people seem to think Jake is the stalker. I'm not buying into it anymore. Who ever this stalker is has to be inconspicuous. Which means he or she is easy to blend in with surrounding people. Jake is a brick house and tall. He would be noticed if he was stalking around. This person is also from Bella's past. If you go and read the ?pov, it states that this person was focusing on Bella. But then decided that he or she is focusing on the wrong person and maybe should be focusing on Edward to get a reaction out of Bella. I'm almost positive Jake is put in as a smoke screen. Just someone else to add some tension into the story. Like Kate, Jake is a delusional bastard. Nothing more. He wants Bella, but Bella doesn't notice him. Sure, when you look at it this way, you might even by more inclined to see Jake as the stalker.

    Then there is the point that the stalker really doesn't know Bella to well. Jake grew up with Bella some what, and I'm sure he knows in his own way how strong Bella really is. The stalker didn't realize this until recently. Jake is just pissed that Bella pretty well blew him off when they were kids. Jake just has a lot of resentment, and he's probably in love with Bella and wants her for himself, and he see's the way Bella has developed a family with Edward and his kids.

    I'm actually surprised that more people don't suspect Ian. He had a relationship with Bella in College, and I'm pretty sure it was in the beginning of her College life. She was just starting to figure out who she was, and probably didn't show that kind of strength when they were together. Ian is also getting close to Jane. Ian works in the media industry, so he can get all kinds of information about who to get close to in order to get close to Bella. Since Bella thinks he was a good guy when they dated, he's not on anyone's radar, which makes it easier for him to blend in with other people.

    Then there is Victoria. Even though we don't know much about her, it seems like she has always resented Bella. Especially on the field and in the media. We really don't know how her career as a wanna be soccer star has progressed since Bella was injured and couldn't play anymore. Victoria could resent the fact that Bella has finally found some happiness in her life after everything she did to take it all away. So this could be her chance at trying to take it all away. Who's to say that Victoria wasn't in love with James? We don't know much about her, but there are possibilities as to why she could be the stalker. Just use your imagination.

    I really hope I gave you more to think about. I can't wait until the drama starts up again so I can make a more informed choice.

  6. Well I have a few people that I think it is. 1st would be the twins mother because she just showed up out of nowhere. It looks likes she got time on her hands to plan stuff like that and shes got money as well to pay people to do her dirt work.

    The you have Jane and Ian. They could be doing it together. Jane might being paying Ian for helping her because Bella doesn't want to let her contact go in Sept. and she could have something happen to where as Bella gets hurts or something in that nature and the Jane will have to gelp her out and she will have to cont. her contact again for another few years.

    Then we have Jake. The saying say keep your friends close but her emeny's closer. I don't like that Jake was at the loft when nobody's home.

    Then it could be just someone that they dont know all together.

    Can wait until we have more details about the stalker. Hopefully you will tell us real soon.

  7. Okay...let me say this about Lauren. Lauren is a wanna be high profile bitch. She only wanted Edward for his name and money. Now that Bella is in the picture, Edward is getting recognized and so are the kids. I think the only reason why Lauren is back right now is to be tied to the kids and get that recognition for herself. She's selfish. But do I think she's the stalker? Hell no. My reasons for that are listed above. She has no reason to go after Bella like that. She'll just show up and cause problems like she did at the soccer game.

    Think about it. It makes total sense.

  8. i personally think that the stalker is bree. Non of the other characters that have been mentioned fit the profile.

    ReplyDelete
  9. i actually think the stalker is tanya......she's jealous of bella since she was the only girl in edwards life for awhile then out of no where bella comes in...i think she is using seth to get to bella/her place!

    ReplyDelete
  10. My theories on the stalker...

    Jacob he is just creepy why was he in her loft without anyone else there? and he just weirds me out by the way he watches edward bella and the kids when they are together with this evil glint. he's just creepy!

    Kate is a HUGE suspect in my eyes cause she wants edward and feels like bella took him from her.

    Lauren of course for obvious reasons...

    Aro is another huge suspect in my eyes especially after the lastch he was in where he ran into edward and Jasper at lunch. hes creepy enough to want bella for his self!

  11. One more person that my friend actually brought up while we were texting about this story back and forth! (yes we are that obsessed with it) Is RENEE really dead? I mean she isor was just delusional enough into wanting to fake a death and then come back out of nowhere just when Bella is happy for the first time in forever to ruin it or try to ruin it for her! Just a thought!!!

    ReplyDelete
  12. You know nobody really suspect aro. I have a sneaking suspision its him. He's close to them and I highly doubt they would notice him. Plus he seems highly obsessive on the verge of being stalkerish. I think this is his ploy to try and keep bella.

    ReplyDelete
  13. So I have a few out there suspicions.

    One, Renee isn't dead. I don't know why but her death and what we know about it is just rubbing me the wrong way. I don't know why but it is.

    Two, James. Again, his death is rubbing me the wrong way as well.

    Three, Kate. She's just crazy.

    Four, Ian. It's just odd that he has just shown up.

    I don't think it's Jacob. It's too obvious. I don't know why but it is. I also keep thinking maybe it's someone close to them. Someone they trust. I don't know.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I have thought long and hard on this subject and it has to be someone from her past. This person resent her success, but is also jealous of Edward and what he represents in her life. Ian, Kate, Jane, Aro, Victoria are more likely than Jake at this point in time.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Having thought about the stalker for awhile, I have come to the conclusion that Jacob, Lauren and Kate are just too obvious and while I did think that maybe Renee isn't really dead, that seems pretty far out there. I would like the parallel to the books if it is Victoria out to ruin Bella's happiness. For all that, though, I am presently tending toward Ian using his knowledge about Bella to help Jane and Aro trap her into a contract extension.

    ReplyDelete
  16. okay so i thought about this long and hard for sometime, and am pretty damn sure i've found out who the stalker is, because of one the clues given but for now i'll break it down to my top 2, at the top of my list is kate because in chapter 31 in the ?pov (which i think is the stalker's pov) there is the one big clue that stands out most in my mind

    "Isabella Marie Swan…I seethed as I watched Edward comfort her. It was so unfair…so fucking unfair. She had everything."

    " I'd spent such a long time finding out all I could about Isabella and from everything I'd learned, she was behaving exactly the opposite from what I expected. I wanted her to distance herself, all in the name of keeping everyone safe of course. I wanted Isabella all alone…needed her alone in order for my plan to work."


    "I got sick to my stomach as I watched Edward hold her next to him…so fucking unfair. Every time I managed to get close to her, some person or another always got in the way."

    "The time was coming when she would pay… when he would pay… they all would. If it was the last thing I did, I would make sure of it."

    now keep in mind i have lots of ideas of who it is but from that clues above my top 2 picks are kate and lauren

    kate because she has been in love with edward this whole time and the letters didn't start until bella and edward came out but more than that kate hates bella because she fills like she took edward from her on top of the fact that she threaten bella she pay and before edward and bella got together kate has no clue who bella was or about her pass which leads me to think shes the stalker because in the clue up there the stalker said they has to learn all about bella that tells me the stalker hasn't know bella or been around her before her and edward, but on top of everything i think what makes kate the stalker besides all the rest is that i think she also wants to hurt edward while at the same to she thinks that if bella is out the picture that edward will come running back to her!

    but on the other hand given the clues above i have to say they point lauren as well because,
    A) she didn't know bella before bella and edward
    B) She just seem to come back into the pictore along with letters right after edward and bella came out
    C)lauren has lots of reasons to hate edward and bella and to cause the pain for the hell of it.
    D)if it is lauren then she have to learn all about bella as well cause she wouldn't have been or have any reasons to know about bella or her at all before edward and bella got together.

    but on top of all else i think who ever the stalkers are female because given the was th passage come across in chapter 31 to me anyways like the stalkers feeling towards bella was more of anger for her taking something from the stalker like edward?!?

    be what ever way in the end i can't wait to find out =D

  18. Well chapter 40 has blown my theories. Now I am thinking Victoria, whose life didn't go where she wanted it to, and she is jealous of Bella. The whole wanting to kill Edward to make Bella miserable takes most of the other candidates out f the picture, unless Renee faked her own death and has been biding her time.

    ReplyDelete
  19. My theory!!!!

    It's Heidi!

    I'm thinking Heidi was trying to get on the soccer team that Bella was on and took her spot. This changed everything for Heidi's future and is blaming Bella for it!

    She was watching Bella and figured out that Dem was single so she started getting to know him and through him, getting to know the family.

    The stalker knows EVERYONE'S name.

    She knows Bella's schedule through Dem because he would know what is going on at all times, seeing as he's part of the protection crew. And he would share that with her because she's his girlfriend and would want her to know when he was needed somewhere else.

    She would have known that Bella was at the Cullen estate for Father's Day. She would have known that the locks were being changed, because I'm sure Dem was aware of that information.

    The stalker stated: Bella is just too trusting.

    Heidi was welcomed into the family with open arms because she's Dem's girlfriend, no one would question her presence with the family.

    I guess we will see, but that's my thinking!!

    I'm loving the mystery and trying to figure out who it could be!!!

  20. after reading others theories i originally thought it was Ian... but now... im liking the Heidi theory!!! kudos to MedusaInNY coz you make some awesome points. the one that supports heidi is knowing bellas scedule... If it were Ian or Victoria or Lauren they wouldnt have access to Bellas Schedule... well Ian might, through Jane... thats why i origianlly pegged him... but... im torn now..

    Ian (spiteful ex) or Heidi (scorned associate).... hmmm cant wait to find out

    ReplyDelete
  21. Ugh... I had my own theories until I came here and read other peoples. Now mine just sound stupid to me.

    I was thinking that Renee might not be dead. I mean with this last chapter from ?POV they were saying how Bella should be left with nothing just like "?" is. That made me suspect Renee more. Since she always blamed Bella for things.

    I mean Renee could still be it and Jacob could have been feeding her information. They would know each other from Forks and could be helping each other out. I'm just not so sure anymore.

    After reading some other people's thoughts it got me to thinking... It could be Heidi..I mean she did just kind of come out of no where and ended up being let into the family without much thought. I'm not so sure though because she is going to be at Lake George with the kids and Dem so I don't really know if its her since the stalker would still need to be in the city to finish whatever it is they are planning on doing. However, she is a very good possibility.

    I kind of think Jacob is to obvious but I'm not going to rule him out completely yet...

    There is also Ian, Jane, Kate, and Lauren.....

    I think for now I'm going to stick with Renee. I think a lot of the little clues that have been put in point to her. Grrr!! I'm just honestly not sure!!

    ReplyDelete
  22. am going to go with Ian cause his the closed to bella and being able to know what and where she is at all times, plus the having history with bella and thin out of now where he just pops up aging and he was really cold towards her at the awards show. plus his dating jane which puts him really close to him and the family so easy info at all times, plus from the ?pov they sound like a males pov idk why but thats what am catching.

    ReplyDelete
  23. oh you know i never thought to think of heidi. Now that it was metioned it could be her. I was thinkin maybe renee didnt kill herself did they even think to check that out? The stalker spent time trying to get to get close to bella you would think bella would recognize this person.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I like the Heidi theory. Or that Reenee might not be deal. But also Ian and Lauren but it's not that likley anymore :P

    ReplyDelete
  25. Ya know, through out this entire story I have suspected that the stalker could be anyone - Jacob (he was just creepy), Jane (she is really creepy and unbalanced), Aro (creepy), Renee (not really dead), James (not really dead), Victoria (hates Bella and was crushing/dating James - following the book), and/or Kate (she's crazy enough). Not once did I think of Heidi or Ian but they are really good suspects.

    When I've gone back and looked over the suspects pov, I really don't think it's Jacob (would be too easy), Jane (stalker said they wanted Bella to be alone like them and she was dating Ian), Ian (same as Jane - he's dating Bella), Heidi (same as Jane and Ian - she's dating Dem).

    One person that I've started to suspect is Father O'Connor (please don't hate me for saying that) :) My reasoning is below...
    -the stalker seems to me to be male
    -wasn't Bella wearing the sweather when she went to dinner with Edward and Father OC and left it and then it appeared at her door?
    -he is close to the Cullen's so it wouldn't be all that hard for him to know about schedules and locks being changed
    -one of the ? pov (I am assuming that is the stalker) was right outside the hospital room and wouldn't it make sense for Father OC to be there?
    -he didn't know Bella before she started dating Edward
    -Father OC would be "alone" - no spouse or partner. He seems to be the only one right now that is alone (yes Victoria could be if she were with James before he died and if Renee isn't dead than she would be but I'm not focusing on the what ifs right now)
    and finally
    -the last little bit of chapter 40 just seemed wierd to me. i don't know how to explain it but hearing him say that Edward was always his favorite and some of the other things he said just didn't sit well with me. I don't know and I hope that I am wrong on this one.

    Erin, I freaking love your story and you have my mind so confused right now but I can't wait for the big reveal!

    ReplyDelete
  26. I think that it is Renee. I thought that it might have been Jacob in the past but I am not too sure on that one now! Renee alienated everyone from Bella's childhood and so there would be a strong chance that she didn't die and noone knows that. She has always been jealous at what Bella has and has blamed her for everything that has happened in her life. It makes sense that she would find out about her daughters success in life and is now trying to ruin everything that Bella deserves in life now that she has a family that loves her.

    ReplyDelete
  27. mammax3...that's a good one!!I never even thought about that!! Father OC...I can see that now with all the little clues...hmmm.

    Darn, when I thought I was making my suspect list shorter here it is getting longer!

  28. So who is the crazy stalker, at first I thought Lauren, but I don't think so, then I thought Jake because he was in the story so little to begin with, that he had to come in somehow maybe as the crazy stalker and he is creepy by any account. Then I was sure it was going to be Kate, but maybe that is too obvious, as she is clearly showing how crazy she is. Then at the hospital as we know from the ?POV the stalker was in the room, I thought aha Bree, was she too good to be true, not as nice as she appeared and maybe hankering after Edward, well what right minded woman wouldn't be, but then I had a thought what if it was someone close to Bella, they talked about her not reacting and pulling away from her loved ones like they expected, could les16 be about to shock the hell out of us and let it be Seth or maybe Jasper, are one of them maybe feeling a bit too possesive of Bella and maybe wanted a bit more than frienship. Or then again maybe even Tanya it would be more true to form in a story for Tanya to turn out to be completely nuts and willing to do anything to keep Edward to herself. Oh my I could go on and on, lots to ponder. Who could it be. The most we know is that the 'Stalker' was in the hospital room with them. Hmmm Bree, Tanya, Seth, Jasper or then again maybe Emmett, he did have a very unhealthy fantasy obsession with Isa. Hmmm I wonder. Next thing you know I am going to be saying it is Renee risen from the dead, well weirder things have happened, this is fan fic after all.

  29. I have just finished chapter 40 and have now completely changed my mind on who the Stalker could be. I think it must be someone from Bella’s past as they state that they planned to completely destroy Bella and that was before Edward was in the picture. That discounts certainly Lauren and Kate, while both hateful character, their focus would be on Edward.
    Also Jasper and Seth are out of the picture as the were in the car with Bella and Edward when the stalker was across the street. Could the stalker be someone that Edward would have recognised as the stalker shrank back when Edward was scanning across at the building. The stalker laughs about not even being on the radar but right in front of their faces.
    Where to begin. Could it be Renee, did she manage to fake her own death, she certainly has enough hate for Bella to make her a suspect. Or how is this to come out of left field could Bella’s twin maybe not be dead!! Could someone have stolen the baby from the hospital and faked the death only for the twin to now come after Bella jealous of the life he should have had and maybe blaming her for Renee’s death. Crazy idea I know but possible maybe?
    Bree can not be forgotten about, while she may be more likely to be after Edward, does she maybe have a connection to Bella that we do not know about. Then there is Ian, he just pops back up with Jane, could he be getting close to Jane so that he can weasle his way back in with Bella, he was begging her to call him when she saw him having dinner with Jane.
    Jacob is it too early to completely discount him. He may seem an unlikely suspect but he should still be kept in the frame, he is clearly obsessed with Bella and think he is in love with her although he clearly barely knows her, is he carrying some slight thinking that she has ignored him for all these years. He is clearly crazy or extremely stupid if he thinks it is ok to try to crack onto her when she in the middle of so much fear and turmoil. Oh then it just occurred to me could it be Billy he wanted his son to keep Bella safe is he angry that his son is kept on the sidelines and ignored if he knows that Jacob is in love with Bella. I could go on and on.
    Not to forget Victoria but to me she may be an outside bet. Why would she want to hurt Bella now, she did the damage she wanted years ago when she ruined Bella Soccer career. Could she be jealous of the success Bella went on to find with her modelling.
    Much to ponder, will I change my suspect pool again? Probably, but I will have to wait for more chapters.

  30. I feel the stalker is a woman, for a couple of reasons.
    1.The stalker is concerned about the childre (even is just briefly in passing) for when they do something to Bella, although stating that they never wanted children of their own. That is more a trait that a woman would have and it just sounds like a woman.
    2.At the hospital after Masen is hurt and the stalker is there they comment that they are seething seeing Bella being comforted by Edward. That almost sounds like jealousy coming from a woman.
    So I am coming to the conclusion that maybe Bree is the most likely candidate.
    1.The statement that they are not on the suspect radar would fit.
    2.Edward would surely have recognised her across the street if seen when they left the Volturi offices hence the shrinking back into the shadows.
    3.We know so little about her, no information has been given as to where she came from.
    The only thing is I can't think of a possible motive, she must have some link to Bella's past. But then how would she know so much about schedules and the changing of the locks and how did she get access into Bella building. Aaarrgg I am going to talk myself out of this one too. Maybe it is Tanya!!!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Many of you suggest Aro but he worships the ground Bella walks on. I think that it would drive me crazy if some girl came into my dad's life (being a daddy's girl) and took my place, because of this I think it's Jane. She would know almost everything about Bella's life and she could get past everyone guarding Bella because of who she is!!!

  33. I’M ONLY ON CHAPTER THIRTY BUT THIS IS WHAT I THINK ABOUT THE POTENTIAL STALKER PEOPLE

    1. Jane-Now she is too much for me I wouldn’t put it past her to try and make Bella’s life hard. I think she would do this because she feels that Bella gets a lot of attention that she doesn’t deserve, and that she just plays nice and isn’t a really nice person. Jane is the only person that I can see getting close to Bella without being seen because she knows her schedule and she can just say that she was going to take Bella some paper work. She’s jealous and wants what Bella has and if she wasn’t such a bitch she just might get it. But I wonder what is it about Bella that really made Jane go crazy? (STALKER)
    2. Aro-He is creepy and it seems like he would want to just keep her on his payroll so he can make money off of her. (NOT STALKER)
    3. Kate-She is a bitch but she doesn’t have the balls to do something like that she was just love sick for him, wanting something she knew she couldn’t have. (NOT STALKER)
    4. Jacob-He seems a bit like a creepy stalker because he is infatuated with Bella and he knows she doesn’t see him like that but he doesn’t care. But when he was in her house by himself that was just the icing on the cake, what the fuck was he thinking I personally think he had done lost his fucking mind. But after Bella went off on him I’m pretty sure he got the picture. (NOT STALKER)
    5. Renee-I wouldn’t put it past this bitch to not be dead because we all know evil don’t die easy. But it would also be she would have the biggest motive to fuck up her lies some more. (NOT THE STALKER)
