My most sincere apologies to those of you who have read this story before, I know I hadn't updated in far too long. But I have taken the time to re-create this story in hopes of making it better and more interesting. While this first chapter is very short, I can promise all updates will have chapters of 1,000 words at least if not more. The second chapter should be up today too, so please tell me what you think
