Hello, people. I'm a bit disappointed that the last two chapters didn't get many reviews, but at least the ones I did get were wonderful. Sometimes I just feel like this story deserves a lot more than it's getting, but what can you do. I could take longer to post the chapters, but that would be unfair to the people who actually read and comment.

So I won't say anything anymore, just know that my motivation for writing this is running dry. While posting the first two chapters, I was able to write 7 chapters in only 2 weeks, but now I only write one, two at most per week. So updates won't be as frequent once I'm done posting the ones I've written.

As you can see, I changed the summary of the story. I was hoping it would draw attention from new readers.

Let's get to the shoutouts:

midnight0sun95: I'm glad to hear it. If you think the last one was unhappy, this one will be worse. It's not exactly settled, but at least now Gray, Juvia and Lyon know exactly where they stand. All there's left is for someone to confess their feelings. A lot of drama, for everyone.

(juviahanks):Already sent you a PM. Good guess, but no.

Now this is my favorite chapter so far. It's so emotional and intense and well, angsty. It's not a happy chapter, as the title says. Good luck!


Lose You-Peter Yorn

I don't need a better thing,

I'd settle for less,

It's another thing for me,

I just have to wander through this world

Alone.

Cause I'm gonna lose you

I'll lose you now for good.


The next hour was a mess as the members of the top 6 guilds were informed by the king that they would soon be attacked by a swarm of 10.000 dragons and many people lost it. After the mages were able to calm down, the king explained that a counter attack had been set in motion, the Eclipse Cannon. Fairy Tail members were confused about the sudden new information about the eclipse, but they didn't have time to dwell on it.

Tomas I. Fiore begged them to help fight against the dragons since they had magic powers and might be able to damage the creatures. The wizards agreed wholeheartedly, but were still worried because dragons were known to be too strong and they feared they wouldn't be able to defeat them.

Soon they were informed that Lucy and the others were safe and that eased the weight for Fairy Tail. They wanted to meet her and make sure she really was okay, but there was no time. As the Eclipse Canon was being activated, the guilds spread across Crocus as they began forming plans to defeat the dragons. Fairy Tail remained at the main square and all master Makarov told them is that they would use all of their power to protect their friends and the kingdom.

While they were gathering, Lucy, Wendy and the exceeds were in front of the castle with Princess Hisui and Colonel Arcadius. It had been an eventful night for them even though they hadn't participated in the last night of the games. After hearing their fate from Future Lucy, things had only gone south. They had been found by the royal army and engaged in yet another fight against them and later the Executioners, who joined.

The fight had been interrupted by a mysterious shadow that had swallowed all of the soldiers and killers, much to the Fairy Tail members' surprise. It had later been revealed that the shadow was actually a person, more specifically Rogue, from Sabertooth. Well, the future version of him. He had claimed to have come back from 7 years after the events of that day to try and stop it from happening again, much like future Lucy. However, unlike her, he had used different methods.

After a long talk with the group, during which they were convinced something was off with him, he had claimed that there was a person who was destined to close the Eclipse Gate before it could be used as a cannon to stop the dragons. He later revealed that person to be none other than Lucy and had swiftly sent his magic towards her with the intention of killing her.

Thankfully, Future Lucy sacrificed herself and so Present Lucy was able to survive. It was a a sad and emotional moment between the two versions and Natsu's reaction left no doubt that he loved Lucy more than anything. Afterwards, he had told Lucy, Wendy and the exceeds to run away while he dealt with Rogue. They had agreed, but only because they knew Natsu could hold his own. After he and Present Lucy shared the most passionate kiss and promised that they would find their way to each other and stay alive, the blonde left with the little girl and the cats.

It wasn't long before they encountered princess Hisui and Colonel Arcadius in front of the castle where they were able to witness the power behind the Eclipse. However, Lucy soon discovered thanks to one of her spirits, that the gate couldn't be used as a cannon, it could only connect points in time. Unfortunately, the gate had somehow fixated itself in a certain period, 400 years before, during the Dragon Era.

For reasons unknown to them, 7 dragons crossed through the gate and started attacking the kingdom. It was up to the guild wizards to stop them, specially the dragon slayers. Natsu, Gajeel, Wendy, Laxus, Sting, Rogue and the currently freed Cobra faced off against the creatures while the rest focused on protecting the town from mini dragons that were released all over Crocus.

Gray and Juvia had stayed together during all this commotion, since the ice mage refused to leave her side, much to her confusion. After everything that had happened that night, their relationship was more confusing than ever, but they couldn't focus on that, not with the imminent threat of the dragons. So they stayed together while navigating through the city and fighting against the mini dragons.

Somehow, Lyon ended up joining them and things got even more awkward since Gray and the older ice mage weren't in the best terms and the last thing Juvia wanted was to be swept into their rivalry. Thank goodness the two men understood that and did their best to behave themselves.

"Try and beat this! Ice-Make: snow tigers."Lyon screamed while leading his magic towards the dragons. Gray and Juvia were currently on the ground, after he had pushed her out of the way just as she was about to be attacked.

"Will you two get up?"Lyon yelled in frustration after the dragons destroyed his creations quite easily. Juvia quickly removed herself from Gray, both of them blushing.

"Ice-Cannon!"Gray sent as soon as he was up with Juvia's help. Their injuries had been healed by Chelia, but they weren't 100% yet, so having to fight the dragons was more exhausting for them.

"How could they have beaten Ice-Cannon?"Juvia wondered from her place behind the two wizards. Her powers hadn't been much help and since there were no bodies of water nearby, the river being too far from their current destination, she had to save her magic in order to regain strength. So she stayed behind while Gray and Lyon worked their best to protect her. She couldn't complain, specially when these two were working together so well despite their clear frustration towards each other.

"I don't know about you, man, but I'm getting sick of this underdog crap."Gray said, panting. "Let's take them out together."

"Sounds good to me."Lyon returned his smirk and agreed to his proposal. Together they sent their strongest spells agains the dragons, but even though it worked, more appeared from behind the rocks.

"Damn, they just keep coming."Gray could feel himself weakening due to using his powers for so long and Lyon was tired as well.

"We should fall back and take cover."Lyon said while moving away, Gray kept staring at the dragons that were coming their way.

"Gray, we have to go!"Juvia pleaded as she grabbed his arm and her eyes widened when she saw that the dragons were about to attack. Thankfully, him and Lyon were able to create a shield just in time.

"Stay behind me."Gray told her as Juvia tried to get in front of them to attack the dragons.

"I'm tired of not doing anything. I'll just get rid of these ones so that we can go."She told him and she saw worry in his eyes. She smiled gently at him before turning her attention back to the dragons.

"Juvia, no!"Lyon yelled once she stepped out of the shield and both men stared in horrors as the dragon's blue lasers went right at her. However, they had completely forgotten that Juvia had the ability to turn her body into water, so when the lasers came, they went straight through her.

"Thank god."Gray muttered under his breath before he smiled proudly once Juvia used her water slicer to eliminate most of the dragons.

"She's incredible, isn't she?"Lyon commented while smiling and Gray nodded. Seeing Juvia in action and being reminded that she was more than a beautiful woman, she had strength unlike anyone he knew, except for Erza maybe, made him fall even more in love with her.

"Shall we go now?"Juvia asked as she approached the two man, a smile on her face. There were only two dragons left.

"Hell yeah."Gray replied before extending his hand and she gladly took it as they ran away from the chaos.


Meanwhile, in a different part of the city…

Erza was alone while fighting against the dragons. She had been stubborn and refused to stay low and rest like her friends suggested. She was Erza Scarlet, after all. She wasn't the kind to ever back down from a fight, no matter how injured she might be. Problem was, the enemy this time was just as stubborn as she was. The mini dragons kept coming, no matter how many she eliminated. It was frustrating and Erza could feel that her injuries were taking their toll. She was thrown back hard and fell it some rocks.

"Not good. I'm all alone here and my foot's broken."She whispered as she considered her situation. She wasn't in any condition to run due to the broken bone and she was so exhausted she doubted she could even stand at the moment. This was bad. Really bad.

"I really did push myself too far. So pathetic. Why do I always have this need to be so strong, never show any signs of weakness?"She knew the answer to that. So many times in her life she had faced deadly and terrifying situations. She had learned that nothing threw an enemy off better than fearless opponent. But sometimes she took it too far. Sometimes she forgot that she didn't need to be so strong, so unafraid even though she was. And this was one of these times.

"I should have been more careful, should have listened to my friends. But it's too late now."She closed her eyes, not wanting the last thing she would see to be these horrible creatures. As she faced the possibility of death once again, her mind wondered to her friends. Natsu. Gray. Lucy. She wondered where they were, what they were doing, if they were safe.

She knew Gray had been fighting against the dragons with Juvia and she wondered if these two might finally get together on this night. She remembered her conversation with the ice mage a few days ago, how they had agreed that both of them needed to sort out their feelings. But Erza hadn't needed to figure anything out, she already knew.

She knew exactly how she felt when it came to the one person who always stayed in her mind, who she always worried about. Someone who had hurt her in the past, but the way she saw it, he had more than made up for it. He was like her, so strong and fearless, but he was also kind and gentle and that's why she hadn't been able to stop herself from falling for him. And boy, had she tried.

When he had threatened her, over 10 years before, claiming that he would kill all the people she loved, she had tried to hate him. But she couldn't. Even at such a young age, Erza already knew that she loved him. And as time passed, her feelings stayed the same even when he once again endangered the people she loved in the Tower Of Heaven. He killed Simon, someone she cared about. But he hadn't been himself, back then he was being controlled by Ultear. But even if he weren't, Erza would have forgiven him the same. Because, as she had come to learn, this was love.

Such a strange feeling, of being in love. It could make the strongest person fall to their knees and it could also make the weakest show strength no one would suspect them to possess. Erza had been terrified of it, after her love for him had caused her to almost go against the Council, right after they had defeated Oración Seis with his help. She hadn't understood how she could have been so reckless, just because of one person.

She only understood what happened a few months later, when they were in Tenrou Island. She had talked to Juvia and she had seen Juvia's strength when it came to her love for Gray. That was when Erza finally understood why she had trusted Jellal so easily even after everything he did for her, why she had been so inclined to defend him, why she thought of him so constantly. It was love. She was in love with him.

When she had talked to Gray about it a few nights before, she had known that he was feeling the same towards Juvia. She had seen his jealousy towards Lyon, his desire to protect her in Tenrou Island and so many more acts that proved to her that he was in love. However, since she had taken some time herself to realize it, instead of forcing him to admit it, she told him to simply think about the subject. About Juvia and his feelings for her.

Erza had thought it might help, that he would realize it on his own. And he did, in a very harsh way. But he saw it nonetheless and Erza had been happy. She had thought at least one of them might have a happy ending, and she knew that he deserved it. But things had spiraled downward, with Juvia currently dating Lyon and Gray's heart was shattered. He had tried to hide it, pretend it didn't really affect him, but she knew better.

She could see he was slowly losing hope, until that kiss. She had watched it and there was no doubt left in her mind that Juvia and Gray belonged together. She was sure of it. But that matter would have to wait, for they were in the middle of war. A war she was about to lose.

"I'm sorry, guys. I hope you can forgive me for being to stupid."She muttered sadly. She opened her eyes briefly, just in time to see a large purple ball consume all the dragons. She was stunned for a second, but her heart started beating faster once she realized that she knew that magic. She would recognize it anywhere.

"It looks like you overdid it this time."Jellal said as he appeared after the light faded.

"Jellal…"He gave her a bright smile she couldn't help but to return.

"I hope this doesn't offend you, but let me give you a hand."He told her gently and she almost felt the need to cry, in relief that he had saved her or shame for being so reckless, she didn't know. All she knew is that she was glad he was there.

"Thank you."She said as he helped her stand. They shared intense looks and Erza wanted to say more, she wanted to tell him about all these thoughts running through her head. These feelings she couldn't deny, couldn't suppress. But she couldn't. Not until the war was over and they had won.


Along their escape, somehow Juvia and Gray ended up being separated and the blue haired woman was terribly worried about him. She had seen how exhausted he was becoming with each attack of the dragons and wished nothing more than for them both to be safe. As she searched for Gray around the ruins of Crocus, she somehow came across a familiar head of pink hair.

"Juvia!"It was Meredy and the bluenette was surprised to see she was still in Crocus, but guessed that Crime Sorciére had been warned about their impending doom.

"Meredy!"She let out a surprised gasp and Meredy looked worried.

"Have you seen Ultear? I lost track of her a while ago."The pink haired girl asked and before Juvia could respond, Gray appeared out of no where and he pushed them to the ground.

"Get down!"He screamed and Juvia could see that three mini dragons were firing their lasers just then, right at their directions. Gray had saved them just in time and she felt extremely grateful to him, while also ashamed of herself for being so careless.

"Stay focused, this is a war zone!"Lyon yelled, also showing up suddenly. It was as if he had read Juvia's thoughts and she lowered her head in shame.

"Sorry."She heard Meredy say sheepishly and she missed the intense look shared between her and Lyon.


Not far from where they were, Silver hid in the shadows as he watched them. He had been following the couple around ever since they ran off with Lyon to fight against the dragons. He wanted nothing more than to talk to Gray now that he knew his son was alive, but it wasn't possible, not when that could put the young ice mage in great danger. Not that he wasn't already in danger, with these dragons pursuing them.

"This is turning out to be more dangerous than I thought."Silver said while he watched Gray save Juvia and Meredy from the mini dragons.

Although he had settled to watching them from the shadows in order to keep both Juvia and Gray safe, he hadn't hesitated to help them against destroy the dragons, discreetly of course. His acquired powers may have been very useful in the fight against the monsters, but he couldn't afford to use them, it would draw too much unwanted attention. So he had settled for using regular ice magic and it had done the job.

Gray and Juvia seemed completely unaware of his help, so that was good. As long as they didn't realize that he was there, he could continue helping them. Oh, but how he wished that he could talk to them, it was his son after all. But he couldn't. Not yet.


"Juvia, are you ok?"Meredy asked the water mage who was too absorbed with scolding herself for being careless to pay much attention to what was happening around them.

"What? Oh, yes, I'm fine."She replied unconvincingly. She was unaware that Gray was watching her intensely, an idea forming in his head. He had been thinking about it ever since they were warned about the dragons' attack, knowing there was a chance they might not survive this night. And even though he had prayed, hoped that they would be alright, that it wouldn't be over for them, he had a feeling something terrible would happen. And Gray was determined to tell Juvia the truth because she deserved to know it and it had to come from him.

So he had decided to confess his feelings. Now. While they were, as Lyon had just reminded them, in the middle of a war zone. The timing couldn't be worse and neither could the setting, but Gray was sure that Juvia would be glad simply to hear those three words he knew she had dreamed for so long.

"Juvia, I have to tell you something."He looked deeply into her eyes and she was surprised by the intensity of his gaze.

"Okay." She slowly stood up and stared at him with those big blue eyes. He could see that she wasn't entirely focused on their conversation, for once. Her attention darted between him and Lyon as the older ice mage was holding off the mini dragons while they talked. Meredy had joined him and Juvia could see that they were whispering to each other. She was curious to what they might be talking about.

"It's important, so can you please focus?"He called her attention and Juvia looked back at him.

"Is something wrong?"She asked, he suddenly looked so nervous, like she had never seen before. But he also seemed more determined than ever, so she was curious.

"No. But I have to do this before it's too late."His reply brought back the horrible feeling she had been having all night. Juvia looked around, back to their two friends who were whispering to each other. What were they saying? What if they were going to get hurt? What would she do if something happened to Lyon or Meredy? She shook her head as she thought about how selfish she and Gray were being, leaving them to deal with the monsters alone while they had a conversation they probably could have another time.

"Can't we talk later? They need our help."She pointed towards Lyon and Meredy and Gray sighed. This wasn't going at all how he had planned.


Meanwhile, at the city gates…

"Are you sure you're okay, Levy?"Kinana asked. They had been assigned to help in the evacuation since their powers would be least affective against the dragons. Levy had been reluctant to come, not wanting to leave Gajeel to fight alone when he wasn't 100% healed, but he had made it clear that she was to stay as far away from the war zone as possible.

"Gajeel, let me help. I can support you." She had pleaded after the first master had separated the group into different jobs and locations.

"Don't worry about me, you'll have your hands full."He had told her softly yet firmly. She knew that he didn't want her to go with him, she would only become a liability. But she couldn't leave him, not when there was a chance they might not survive this night.

"But…"He had cut off her protests.

"You should help the townspeople evacuate."He had looked at her intensely and she knew there was no room for argument.

"Alright. But promise me that you'll stay safe."He had smirked at her.

"You should be more concerned about the dragons." Suddenly, his expression had turned more serious and concerned. "You stay out of danger, okay, shrimp? I can't always be there to save you."She had smiled before approaching him.

"What, are you worried?"She had asked while smirking and his expression had been priceless."I'm tough, can take care of myself."He had laughed and she had joined him soon.

"Of course you are. I wouldn't let you go alone otherwise." Another smile was shared, but there was worry behind it. They were both scared of losing each other, of losing the war, of losing. But they would never admit it.

"Well, I'll be on my way. Go kick some ass."In a bold movement, she kissed his cheek softly before walking away quickly before anything could be said, a small blush on her cheeks. She had missed the identical blush on his cheeks and the way he stared at her in shock as she walked away.

"I'm fine. "Levy replied to her friend with a smile at the fond memory. "Please, be safe."She whispered afterwards while staring at the battlefield around them.


"Did you tell her about it?"Meredy asked Lyon while they watched the couple talk from the corner of their eyes. They were whispering so that no one could hear this conversation.

"Of course not, I would never tell Juvia about this. It's humiliating."Lyon's response left the pink haired girl frowning and the ice mage quickly tried to compensate. "Not that being with you was humiliating, just the situation."

"I can understand that."Meredy replied after nodding. "You really love her, don't you?"She watched as Lyon looked back at Juvia and his feelings were so clear, so open. Too bad they were also unrequited.

"I wish it wasn't so hard to move on, but with her being so close…"He didn't finish, but she understood.

Meredy had never been in love, being a runaway made it difficult to meet someone, but she had seen Jellal suffering over his clear affection towards Erza Scarlet many times. She saw how broken he was when she disappeared for years, thought to be dead and if it taught anything is that love always brings pain. Just look at Gray, Juvia and Lyon. They were the perfect example of the mess love creates. That's why she had vowed to herself long ago to never fall in love.

"You'll manage, I'm sure."She smiled at him reassuringly, but it did nothing. Right now, he was broken. Too broken to see the light.

"I hope so. Wouldn't want to suffer forever."He replied and they remembered the evening they had spent together a few days before. "Can we agree never to talk to anyone about it?"

"Of course. I promise no one will know what happened that night."She replied before their attention was driven towards more dragons coming their way. It was time to fight.


"There are too many of them."Silver muttered from his spot in the shadows. "I have to do something."He started forming a spell, ready to take out as many dragons as he could without being noticed, when he heard a voice that made his blood run cold. The voice from his nightmares. The person who always haunted him.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you."A man appeared. He wore a large black cloak that left only his skeleton hands and face in display. He looked like a creature from horror books and that was exactly what he was.

"Keyes. What the hell are you doing here?"Silver muttered under his breath, suddenly feeling terrified.

"Did you really think we would have sent you to the games alone?"Keyes' deep and creepy voice replied. He was smirking at the other man.

"So you were watching me."Silver stated and Keyes confirmed with a nod.

"All the time. It was quite amusing when you started following the boy and his companions."Keyes pointed towards Gray and Silver realized his greatest fear since he had discovered that his son was alive had come true. They knew and that meant the young ice mage was put in great danger.

"I swear to god if you even think about harming my son…"Keyes didn't let him finish his threat.

"You'll do what, exactly?"He smirked upon seeing Silver's face contorted in anger and hands balled into fists. "Yes, that reaction of yours is proof of why we're so superior."

"Keep talking and I might decide to stop playing nice."Silver replied venomously and the other man laughed.

"So amusing! But you'd better not forget who is in charge here."There was a threatening glow in the skeleton's eyes. "Or else we're going to have to remind you."He gave another pointed look in Gray's direction and Silver gulped.

"Please."He hated himself for begging, but it was all he could do. Having Gray safe was more important than anything and he would do whatever it takes to assure it. "Let him be. He's not a threat, so he shouldn't be involved in this."

"That's not what Lord Zeref thinks."Keyes' response left him even more desperate and afraid. This was bad. "In fact, he's taken quite an interest in the boy, due to his connection to her."This time he pointed at Juvia, who was looking at the other two people they were ignoring.

"Why does he care about it?"Silver asked, a bit curious. It was't like Zeref to be so interested in someone just because they were connected to the object of his interest.

"My master cares about anything and everything involving her. She is, after all, our greatest weapon."To this day Silver didn't understand why the black wizard was so convinced Juvia would be the bringer of victory in his insane plan. He had seen as Zeref watched her, studied her, tested her in order to assure she was the one. And still, Silver didn't see how someone filled with so much light could be chosen to bring so much darkness into the world.

"A weapon."He repeated Keyes words before sighing. He wanted nothing more but to warn her about their intentions, make her remember what had been forgotten, but he couldn't. Not while they had him within their grasp.

"She'll do excellently, I'm sure. I can sense her power and she's grown even stronger now that she has her second origin, from what Seilah mentioned."

They looked back in the direction of Gray and Juvia once again, only to be met with the most horrifying sight. Silver froze in place, mouth open in a silent scream he couldn't let out without calling their attention. His eyes widened and his heart was shattered once again. It couldn't he happening, not now, not when he had been graced with good news for the first time in over a decade. Yet it was happening and he could do nothing but watch.


"Juvia, please!"She looked at him in surprise. Gray had never sounded so desperate before. This must really be important.

"Alright. What do you wish to to tell me?"She asked and Gray took a deep breath. However, his response was yet again cut off by a loud scream coming from Lyon.

"Juvia, move!"The couple looked in his direction and were terrified to see a laser coming straight at Juvia.

In that moment, Gray didn't think about how stupid his plan was, he didn't consider the fact that Juvia could turn her body into water and so it wouldn't hit her. He didn't even know how it happened, but his body acted before his brain could process it. Soon he was pushing her away, placing himself right in the direction of the laser.

Juvia watched in horror as he was hit by it. She couldn't believe that he had saved her, sacrificing himself in the process. It wasn't as if Gray had never done it before, but this time it was more serious. More risky. More deadly. She managed to brace her fall, so she was sitting, but before she could stand up, it happened. He was hit two, three, four, five times. The last one, on his head.

She couldn't think, she couldn't move, she couldn't even cry. All she could do was stare in shock as the man she loved fell to the ground, body pale and filled with blood. So much blood. So much pain. So much fear. As she watched Gray lie on the ground, unmoving, flashbacks to a similar situation came to her mind.

A little boy, blue hair and big brown eyes. His was face pale, his eyes closed, as if he was sleeping. Blood all over his body, so much blood she could barely see the little outfit he had been wearing, a present she had given him only a few days before. She had screamed, cried for help, but it was too late. He was gone. Forever. Her heart shattered and she was broken. She gathered the little boy in her arms and cried until she had no more tears left. The skies cried with her, rain falling harder than ever.

"Nooooo!"A loud scream left her mouth as she stared back at Gray's dead body. She was still in her spot on the ground, still unmoving. Jut like he was. He was gone. Forever. She would never be able to kiss him again, touch him again or tell him she loved him. He would become just an addition to the list of dead bodies she had caused, of people she had lost because of her weakness, of her stupidity. And she would never forgive herself. (sounds familiar, huh?)

"Grayyy!"Lyon also screamed, just as painfully. He was standing in place, Meredy not far from him. Looking in disbelief at the broken body in front of them. The pink haired girl was covering her mouth, tears streaming down her face. She understood their pain, she could see it clearly.

Rain started falling around them, hard and cold. Just like Juvia's heart was. Once again the skies cried with her so the whole world could see her pain, her sorrow. Last time she had thought she would never see the sun again. Until Gray had come and filled her life with sunshine. This time, the rain would never stop because her sun, her reason to live, was gone. Forever.

So, thoughts?

Did you like my take on the episode? I hope I did it justice.

Poor Gray, he just can't find the right time to confess. At least you got some good Gruvia scenes here, right? But the real confession is coming soon, guys. Just hang on.

That ending, huh? Did it break your hearts like it broke mine? I wanted it to be intense and emotional.

What do you make of my portrayal of Meredy? What do you think happened between her and Lyon and why do they want to keep it a secret?

Added a little GaLe in there, did you like it?

Jerza fans are you happy? Next chapter we'll have the real scenes with these two, this was just a setup. I hope you understand my take on their relationship.

Lastly, what are your thoughts on Silver and Keyes? I'm surprised no one guessed he was the one I was talking about. The clues were pretty obvious, in my opinion.

Next chapter: Close To The Edge. More Gruvia, more Jerza and... Ultear. It's her time to shine! It will be her first and last appearance in this story, so I dedicated most of chapter 8 to her.

It should come by Monday, if this one gets enough reviews perhaps Saturday. It's up to you. Don't forget to tell me all your thoughts. Even if it's a critic, I'm ready to hear it.
