It has been years since I actually worked on this story. Most of the problem was that I was so unhappy with it and I couldn't figure out how to end up where I knew I wanted to go - there just wasn't a good path to get there give the things that had already happened. I took a break from it and like my brain does, it continued to work on the problem, mostly when meetings at work got boring : )

I have made the decision to delete this story with the intention to republish in the near future. I have recently started working on a complete rewrite of everything and so far I can extremely pleased with how it's turning out.

I am writing this to let you know, especially those of you who have patiently waited over the last few years, that a new story will be published with the same general idea. Ideally I'll have it posted within a couple months, but I want to finish writing it first. I will leave this story, and this note, up until the new story is published at which time I will delete this entire story.

Feel free to follow me so you'll be alerted to when the new story is published! If you IM me I may even send out a couple sneak peeks when I get closer to finishing my know story. Then tentative title is "Alannah" (see - told you it was similar!) but it may change as time goes on.

For those for you who have stuck me with me throughout the years, thank you!
