Well...it's been a really long time, hasn't it? Yeah, I'm really sorry about the wait, guys. I don't have any justifiable excuses, so I won't give you any. I just realized I wasn't going to leave this story unfinished, because that would be unfair to those of you who have invested themselves into my story. I'm going to be going through my other eight chapters to edit them and hopefully fix some plot errors or loose ends, and maybe lengthen the chapters. This shouldn't take very long, maybe a week or so, and once I've finished I will upload chapter 9, which is halfway done.

I realize many of you are probably quite irritated/disappointed that this is just an AN rather than a chapter update, but I thought you'd all like to know this story hasn't been given up on and that an update should occur relatively soon. I just want to give you guys an improved story before chapter nine is put up.

On top of all this, after all of this crap has been taken care of, I'm hoping that I'll be able to update more regularly, but if that doesn't happen, then it will be because of my college classes. I won't promise to weekly updates, but I WILL promise to update, and that this story WILL be finished. Just don't give up on me yet, guys.

To those of you who are still sticking by, thanks a lot for the support! It really does mean a lot to me, and I appreciate you all! I recently read through my reviews, and all of you re-inspired me to fix this story up and not give up on it. So once more, thank you all. :)

Lots of love/thanks,

I.S.A.
