Introduction/Description

My Brother's Keeper-Formally 'Love Or Loyalty'

First and Foremost-

Some of you may recognize this story, and hopefully, some don't. When I started 'Love or Loyalty' back in July, I had massive plans for it. I wanted a thrilling, emotional, angst-riddled story about choosing between what you have been taught as law, and what your heart desires- something I am sure everyone reading this will understand. However, I endured several things- personal/family issues- that led me to force that story to continue. My head was not in the right space to be able to bring the world I wanted to create to life. And apparently, it was far too similar to another story by another author, which I didn't even notice until it was pointed out.

So, I threw the entire thing away.

'Love or Loyalty' died the day I took it off of FanFiction.

Now, with that being said, the first two chapters of this are exact- okay almost- exactly the same, only a few minor details were changed. The first chapter sets the pace for the whole story, that much I was going to keep. Everything after that- everything you can recall from the original, if anything,- throw it out as I did.

Forget about Eddie joining forces with Galina.

Forget about Dimitri and Rose taking off to Russia.

Forget Rose being taken by Randall and Tasha.

Forget it all. It's gone. Not going to happen.

And get ready for the thrilling adventure that Rose is about to embark on.

I Present to you:

My Brother's Keeper

One of the hardest decisions in life is choosing the path you want to take. Standing at a fork in life, you have two options- the safe paved route, or the questionable dirt road. My entire life, I believed that the safe route would pave the way to my future. I would guard my best friend, watch her get married, grow a family, and live happily ever after. A year ago, I was content with that route. Until he came into my life.

Now I am faced with a choice, Love or Loyalty.

I thought I had made the right decision, but one word at a time, one slip of his tongue, and I questioned whether I wanted to pursue either.

As I stare at the split in the roadway of my life, I draw a deep breath and walk down the middle- creating a new path. A path carved through the trees until I find my own happily ever after.

UPDATE SCHEDULE:

Chapters 1 - 3 will be uploaded back to back (a few hours apart to allow new readers to catch up), only because one and two are repeat chapters from the original. After that, the next update will be Sunday and normal updates will follow every Wednesday and Sunday.
