Chapter Ten
Dear Athena,
That's a tricky quote, it's been debated upon quite extensively who spoke it first, some say it is an Ancient Chinese Proverb, Confucius or William L. Watkinson, to name a few. But, since we are talking about book quotes I can be confident in saying that your quote can be found within the book, 'This is my Story' by Eleanor Roosevelt. Also, thank you very much for the books, I'll take good care of them and I'm sure they'll be very helpful. I have to wonder, what do you get up to when you aren't working? And also, what does work consist of for you? Would I be right in believing that it involves a lot of paperwork about the current political and global climate? If you ever have an afternoon spare you should stop by for a pot of tea. I have to go to school now, but I promise to tell you an 'entertaining' story in my next letter.
-Faye
P.S
'The same substance composes us–the tree overhead, the stone beneath us, the bird, the beast, the star-we are all one, all moving to the same end.'
The nightmares were getting persistently worse. Where Faye had once been waking up in a cold sweat, drowning in her sheets, she now awoke with a scream, tears marring her cheeks and bile in her throat. Hestia holding her tightly to her chest and whispering words of love and affection.
Faye had thought that the nightmares had died down slightly, since for the few days that Artemis had stayed over they had been non-existent. But that was most likely due to the fact that she had practically passed out in her bed at the end of every day after receiving a harsh training session courtesy of her best friend. Unfortunately, not days after Artemis had left, the nightmares had come back swiftly, worse than they had previously been, completely and utterly destroying all her attempts at sleep.
She remembered his hand holding her face, his fingers digging into her cheek painfully. Faye remembered the taste of the nicotine that he had forcibly breathed down her throat through her lips and the weight of the memories broke her apart, shattering her from the inside. Faye felt like she was drowning in an ocean of memories, the undertow of the waves dragging her under, drowning her.
It wasn't healthy, the lack of sleep, the inability to tell her dreams from reality, absolutely none of it was healthy. She had to speak to someone about them, to fix whatever was wrong with her. Unfortunately, the only person that Faye knew that could possibly help her was Hecate. So, she crossed her fingers and sent a prayer up to anyone that might listen that Hecate wouldn't ask for anything too extravagant in return for her aid.
So, after nearly two weeks of coming to such a decision, Faye was graced with Hecate's presence. She had drawn Faye to her late at night, dragging her out of the house and into the small forest that the cottage backed onto. Faye wondered if she would ever get used to the way Hecate 'called' for her like some prized dog, and how Hecate always seemed to have no care for what Faye might have been doing at the time when she 'requested' her appearance. Then again, perhaps she was becoming too lax, too used to the Gods that she dealt with and the leniencies that they gave her.
Of course, this time Faye was extremely grateful that Hecate had arrived. In fact, she had nearly broken into song and dance when she realised that the Goddess had arrived. Hecate's eyebrows had nearly risen to her hairline when Faye released a large sigh of relief upon seeing her and if Faye had been in any other situation then she would have laughed at the look of sheer astonishment that graced the beautiful Goddesses face.
"Well, well, well. What's got you so happy to see me? Have you finally chosen to take me up on my offer, finally seen them for the monsters that they are?" Hecate purred.
Faye was torn between raising her eyebrows due to fact that she had actually purred or frowning because Hecate seemed determined to constantly ask whether she was ready to leave behind her home. She was never leaving, they were her family and as powerful a Goddess Hecate was she needed a brain transplant if she thought differently.
"Firstly, I'm not leaving and secondly, they are not monsters." Faye said, rolling her eyes when Hecate tutted, her lips pursing in annoyance. "Lastly, we have a problem."
At that Hecate had scoffed, loudly, a manicured eyebrow raised as if daring Faye to restate her last sentence.
"You're right. I'm sorry, I have a problem."
A smirk graced the Goddesses face as she stared down at Faye, lips curled into a predatory smirk, she knew that she held all the cards, that at any moment she could refuse Faye and leave her to her problem. For a moment Faye's breath caught in her throat and she was reminded of what a God really was, a being with incredible power and flippant desires. A dragon that pretended to be a snake, though truthfully both were terrifying opponents
"Well then, what is it that ails you little mortal?"
Faye wondered how she was meant to explain this, was she meant to tell her about the nightmares, was she meant to explain how her own memories made her want to shatter a mirror because the face staring back wasn't her own or perhaps she should stress the fact that her memories had her waking up screaming and gasping for air.
"I'm remembering things." Faye whispered, the words escaping from her before he had the chance to dissect them properly.
At Hecate's obvious dismissal of her problem, Faye realised that she probably should have worded it slightly better. The grass under her feet was wet and she felt as if the cold was seeping into her very bones, shifting from foot to foot she wondered how she could possibly salvage the mess she was making of the situation.
"I don't see how that is a problem, shouldn't you be thanking me?" Hecate snapped back at her, the harshness in her tone seemed to spark something in Faye and before she could stop herself she was biting back.
"Not if they have me waking up screaming." Faye replied, contempt dripping from her voice.
This wasn't what she had signed up for, she had signed up to die, to move on, not ot be give a second chance that had her loosing her mind one minute and then having night terrors the next. She was angry, at the world, at herself and Hecate seemed to know just what buttons to push to bring that out in her.
"Well go on then, smite me for talking back like you're threatening, get rid of me! Because I don't know if I can stand it anymore." She spat, stepping closer into Hecate's personal space, crowding the Goddess, baiting her.
Hecate's face flushed in such a pretty way that Faye felt the innate desire to claw her face off, when normal people got angry their faces got blotchy, but of course a Goddess would be perfect in all that she did.
"I have never threatened you–" Hecate began, her voice dripping with poison.
"No, not with your words certainly, but you think I don't know that you can, that you will when you grow tired of me. You don't understand. I don't know where I fit in this world. I didn't want to come here, you stupid Gods brought me here, forced me here. You say I shouldn't stay with Hestia, that my family will turn on me because I'm not one of them. Well, I'm certainly not some normal human am I? I died Hecate, I died and now I'm alive and it hurts. It hurts knowing I had children that I left behind, that I had an abusive partner at one point, that I have already studied and now I don't even look like myself. I have nothing of me left except my name." Faye's words broke off in a croak and she wiped the tears angrily from her face.
All of her pent up thoughts and emotions on the topic had spilled out violently and when her knees buckled and she kneeled on the cold grass she made no move to get up. Wrapping her arms around herself, sobs wracked her frame and she wondered if this was going to be the moment Hecate got rid of her, she hoped Hestia wouldn't be too hurt by it all.
When she felt a hand touch her shoulder she flinched, refusing to look up at Hecate and face her wrath, call her a coward but she couldn't find it within herself to care anymore.
"I'm sorry." The words were barely above a whisper and if the words hadn't practically been breathed into the shell of her ear Faye would have been sure she had imagined them.
Looking up as she realised that Hecate had come to crouch on the ground beside her, the Goddesses dress pooling around her like an inky black shadow. The hand resting on her shoulder moved to her head and began to slowly stroke her hair.
When she opened her mouth to say something Hecate was quick to raise her other hand, resting a finger against her lips gently. Then, with a care she was sure that Hecate had not possessed she cradled Faye's face within her hands, rubbing her thumbs in circles on Faye's temples.
"…You will meet me here tomorrow night. Do not be late." Hecate finally said, standing up and holding her hand out to Faye to help her up which she took with a soft 'thank you'.
The Goddesses face seemed to soften for a fraction of a second before her mouth curled into its usual smirk. Gently pushing Faye towards the house she turned around and disappeared into the darkness, as she was prone to do and leaving Faye alone with the therapeutic feeling of relief at being able to unload her thoughts. She wasn't rid of her anger and the pain, but screaming it out to Hecate had definitely helped. Maybe she would have to jokingly pay her a few drachma next time she let her vent, if she ever lived to do so again. Quickly wiping her face she ventured back towards the house and crossed both her fingers and toes that Hecate would come up with a solution.
The next night couldn't have come quick enough for Faye and she practically thrummed with energy when she walked out that night long before Hecate even 'called' for her. With her feet encased in a pair of thick fluffy ugg boots and wrapped up comfortably in a warm coat. Twisting a strand of her brown hair around her finger she huffed when it filed to still her nerves and began to plait the strand in an attempt to take her mind off the way her stomach was churning. She knew if she looked in the mirror that there would be black circles under her eyes and that they would be blood shot from the lack of sleep, not something a seven year old should be dealing with.
"So this is your new project." Someone whispered behind her.
Faye squeaked and jumped nearly a foot in the air, stepping back in fright and falling upon her bottom. Swivelling around to see who had spoken Faye was met with the sight of Hecate, decked out in her usual black, and beside her was a tall man in a long black coat, his grey hair was cropped short and as Faye tried to make out his features in the dark she realised that she couldn't. The Gods face shimmered before her like a mirage, it felt like she was looking at him through a distorted piece of glass, able to make out his features, but nothing certain. The only feature that seemed to appear 'normal' were his eyes, a piercing blue that took her breath away.
Hecate scoffed, startling Faye from her gawking. When the Goddess raised an eyebrow in her direction she scrambled up, brushing away any dirt from her bottom and the backs of her thighs. Faye tried not to feel too self-conscious
"She's more like a pet." Hecate replied to the other God finally, dragging her eyes away from Faye to gaze coolly at her companion.
"Of course she is." The God replied, though his words sounded sincere something about how he said the words made Faye think that though he had acknowledged Hecate's denial he didn't believe it one bit.
Practically thrumming with energy Faye took that as her cue to speak. Summoning up all of her manners and courage she directed her entire attention towards Hecate, bowing her head in submission when the Goddess deemed to notice her, her lips curved slightly upwards at Faye's sudden diminutive attitude.
"Good evening, thank you for helping me Lady Hecate. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance Lord…" Faye begun, her voice trailing of when she realised that she had no clue who this mysterious God was.
"Morpheus. There is no need to call me Lord, I am not as attached to the old ways as some."
And with his words everything clicked into place, the inability to see his face, the reason he was there. Who better to chase her nightmares away than the God of Dreams himself. A scoff from Hecate broke her from her reverie and she turned her attention to the Goddess that was standing there, hip cocked, eyebrow raised defiantly towards Morpheus, questioning him.
Faye had to hand it to Morpheus, he handled the attention of Hecate brilliantly, refusing to acknowledge her scoff or the way that her lips curled distastefully when he kept his attention on Faye.
"Now, I have heard your tale of woe from Hecate, but, I would like to hear it from you." His voice was soft, and Faye realised why people in romance novels had their voice likened to silk and velvet.
Morpheus's voice made her want to curl up in a ball and go to sleep, to shut her eyes and fall away from the world, to drift away into the sweet release of sleep. A sigh escaped Faye, as her eyes slowly shut and her shoulders relaxed. She very nearly jumped out of her skin when Hecate interrupted the moment, her voice sharp and controlled in comparison to Morpheus's.
"I told you, she has nightmares, fix it. You have no need to know anything more Morpheus." Hecate told him curtly.
Morpheus seemed indifferent to her actions, looking expectantly down at Faye, waiting for her response. Swallowing the saliva that had pooled in her mouth, Faye clenched her hand together tightly, her nails digging into her palms harshly.
"I do have nightmares Lord Morpheus, terrible ones that I can't talk of for fear that they might become real. They leave me screaming and I don't know what to do. I can't sleep."
The God continued to study her, not saying a word and Faye was sure that she had forgotten how to breathe. She knew now was the time when he would deny her, refuse Hecate's request, telling them both that he would neither intervene nor help.
"I will take these nightmares away from you young one."
"You will?" Faye questioned incredulously a smile creeping onto her face, she had been ready to kill for a good nights sleep and now one was being offered to her by a God, she wasn't sure if he was playing with her emotions or was actually going to help her.
"Like he has a choice." Hecate spat, eyes trained on her fellow God, narrowing into slits when he stepped around her to get closer to Faye.
Morpheus stood before her, taking in her features languidly before humming in affirmation, though of what Faye had no idea.
"Yes, I will visit you once a week child and will give you the gift of sweet and pleasant dreams until you leave this world. I will have to talk with Hestia about it, and when she introduces us you must not let it be known we have previously met." He told Faye and she knew that if she broke these rules she would surely never have a good nights sleep ever again, he was her one chance and she would do anything he asked to keep herself sane.
"Yes Lord Morpheus."
Hecate stepped closer to the two of them, standing slightly off to the side, but close enough that if she wished she could easily step between them. Perhaps she wanted to make sure that if Faye somehow annoyed Morpheus she would get the first shot in.
"You must not make mention of me, you understand that don't you little mortal. And do drop the titles, they do so make me weary."
"Yes…Morpheus." It was hard to use his name without his title, she had drilled it in herself that she should keep the formal titles of Gods that she did not know. And though she felt no animosity from Morpheus towards her, she was wary and very worried what the outcome would be if she put one-foot wrong.
The God didn't touch her like Hecate did when she used her magic, but she felt it, she felt it deep within her very bones that something was happening, was creeping beneath her skin, into her skull and altering her very being. Within a moment the feeling was gone leaving her feeling warm and light, as if something that had been very wrong had suddenly been made right.
"You are someone that will be remembered long after you are gone from this earth Faye Edwards. You are going to rattle this universe to its' very core. It will be a pleasure to get to know you." Morpheus whispered, the tone of his voice and his expression indecipherable.
Then, without another word he seemed to melt into the darkness before her very eyes, disappearing much the way Hecate did. Turning said Goddess Faye took in the troubled expression on her face, her eyes looking deeply into the space that Morpheus had just vanished into, gnawing at her lip as if suddenly very unsure of herself.
"Hecate?" Faye questioned softly, causing for the Goddess to startle, looking at Faye as if she had seen a ghost.
In a split second Hecate's smirk was back on her lips, the look of trouble disappearing effortlessly from her face.
"What, no 'Lady Hecate' now that the other God is gone?" She questioned Faye sarcastically.
A small giggle escaped Faye at Hecate's words and when she looked up and met Hecate's eyes she noticed that the Goddess appeared to be holding back her own laughter at the situation. A mortal and a Goddess, both strong willed and unbent, both damaged, yet both bound by something so much greater than either of them could imagine.
"Thank you." Faye said, trying to convey in those two words how thankful she really was, how much she appreciated Hecate's help.
For a moment she was sure Hecate would respond, but the Goddess seemed to think better of it, instead scoffing loudly and muttering under her breath about Faye being a 'brat' before disappearing, much like Morpheus, into the night.
When Faye padded out into the kitchen that morning she couldn't stop smiling, the sheer weight of of her nightmares had disappeared off of her shoulders leaving her feeling light and free. Hestia sat at the table, a fresh stack of blueberry pancakes with steam still coming off them sat in the middle of the table, while teapot and jug of water sat off to the side of it.
Tentatively, Faye sat down at the table, glancing up at Hestia in confusion. She waited for it, for Hestia to drag the food away from her and demand answers, to tell her that this was her last meal in this house unless she told the truth. Faye was waiting for the disapproving look of anger, regret, betrayal and hate. Instead all she saw when she looked up at Hestia was love. Complete and utter love and she couldn't help it when her eyes began to water and she had to break eye contact with the Goddess before she burst into tears.
"I hope you like the breakfast darling, I thought blueberry pancakes might be a nice this morning." Hestia said, smiling warmly towards her.
Without needing anymore convincing Faye dug in, taking two of the piping hot pancakes and digging into them, pouring freshly melted chocolate which had appeared out of nowhere over them decadently. Gosh breakfast was her favourite meal of the day and when Hestia cooked breakfast there was nothing better. Faye would happily sell her soul to continue eating Hestia's pancakes.
The two of them seemed to lull into a comfortable silence, with Hestia nibbling on her own pancakes, while Faye practically wolfed them down like a caveman, her appetite returning in full with a proper nights sleep.
"Recently Hades and I have spoken in lengths about you." Hestia stated and Faye in that moment questioned the Goddesses sanity. Using the words 'Hades' and 'spoken in lengths about you' in the same sentence was a good way to cause Faye to have a heart attack.
"About me?" Faye squeaked, her fork coming to a halt midway between her mouth and her plate.
"About you and the puppy that he offered you." Hestia replied, a twinkle in her eyes that clued Faye in on the fact that Hestia knew exactly how close she had just come to having Faye rushed to a hospital for a heart attack.
"I've decided that if you so wish it a puppy would be a very agreeable addition to this household." Hestia continued, a mile creeping onto her face as Faye's face began to smile probably like a crazy woman. "There are rules Faye. You must care for it, bathe it, feed it, clean up after it and walk it. It is a big responsibility."
Faye was nodding along with every single one of Hestia's points, her mind whirling a hundred miles and hour. She was going to get a puppy, an adorable Hellhound puppy and she could hardly contain her happiness. No nightmares, good sleep, a great breakfast and a puppy, Faye didn't know how her day was going to get any better.
"I know. I'll take good care of them, I won't let you or Uncle Hades down." Faye told Hestia, practically bouncing in her seat with excitement. She may have been a sixty-one-year-old woman mentally, but she would have liked to see anyone else act differently.
"Good. Hades has informed that if you so wished, we might go this afternoon and you may have the pick of the litter."
Without thinking Faye dropped her fork onto her plate, got off her chair and practically threw herself in Hestia's arms. The Goddess's arms tightened around her, as if she was afraid Faye would suddenly jerk away from her or disappear and Faye's heart broke slightly at the realisation.
"Thank you Hestia." She said, her words coming out muffled while Hestia squashed her against her neck.
"You're welcome my darling. I am so happy to see you smiling again." Hestia whispered into her ear and Faye's breath hitched at the sudden realisation that she hadn't apologised, hadn't begged this beautiful and amazing woman for forgiveness yet.
"I'm sorry." Faye croaked out, nestling closer into Hestia's needing, wanting, the reassurance that she wasn't suddenly going to get kicked out of the house and Hestia's life for being such a rude childe and a complete fuck up.
"I know." Hestia's words were barely above a whisper, one of her hands coming to rest on the top of Faye's head, slowly stroking her hair in an attempt to reassure her.
"Are you mad?" Faye questioned, the fear gripping her tightly, her stomach tying itself in knots over the possible answer that she was about to hear.
"I was."
At that Faye let out a small sob, burying her face even deeper into Hestia's neck, breathing in her scent. Gods above she was lucky, so very lucky to have Hestia. Hestia had given her a family, a home, she had given her a reason to live rather than just survive through another day and she didn't know if she could ever love another being in this second life of hers more than Hestia.
'Faye, I want you to know that you don't have to tell me anything. You're are entitled to your privacy and though I love you dearly that does not give me the right to force such things out of you. But, I have had word from another God who may be able to help you with your nightmares, if he is deemed trustworthy I shall introduce you and hopefully your night terrors will disappear." Hestia told her, her face the seriousness in her voice conveying to Faye that she would stand by her words, that she would respect Faye's decision for privacy.
More importantly, from Hestia's words Faye had figured that Hecate and Morpheus's plan had worked. She didn't know whether to applaud the both of them or be annoyed that they had managed to manipulate Hestia into doing what they wanted her to do.
"Thank you." Faye said, turning her head to kiss Hestia's cheek in thanks, snuggling closer into the Goddess and savouring the sense of safety and security she provided.
"I love you Faye." Hestia told her, though Faye didn't know why, she knew Hestia loved her, she showed her that she loved her by forgiving her and putting up with her entirely stupid shenanigans.
"Now," Hestia began, pulling away from Faye slightly, smiling at her widely, " let's go get that puppy."
"Are you sure this is the one?" Hestia asked yet again as Faye cuddled the puppy to her chest.
The small puppy was neither the largest of the litter nor the runt. But, the puppy had been in love with the idea of slobbering all over Faye as soon as she had sat down. Faye had originally played fetch with the puppies for a little, settling them before she sat down for cuddles with them. The puppy had crawled into her lap almost instantly, its little back legs kicking wildly as it tried to scramble up onto her unlike the others that had played around her. The puppy had then decided that Faye was its new best friend, lavishing kiss after slobbery kiss on any part of Faye that it could get to.
"Positive" Faye replied, the smile that had broken across her face when the puppy had assaulted her refusing to leave her face.
In response to the lack of attention the puppy in question shoved its head under her hand, begging for more pats.
"And what name will you give her niece?" Hades asked, his eyes narrowed and Faye knew this was a test of some sort, that this name had to be absolutely perfect.
Looking down at the sweet little thing in her lap she gathered the puppy up into her arms, cuddling the puppy to her chest which she happily nestled into.
"Lady." Faye said, refusing to take her eyes off of her new best friend, Artemis would not be happy to meet her competition, Faye would have to make strict rules regarding Lady in the future, she just knew it.
Persephone, who was sitting on the ground close to Faye stopped patting the Hellhound puppy that she had been paying attention to, focusing her attention entirely on Faye. Shuffling behind Faye, and stretching out her legs so that they framed Faye's small form, Persephone rested her chin on top of her head. Looking down at the puppy that was firmly clutched in Faye's hand.
"Lady?" Persephone questioned curiously.
At that Faye had to giggle, leaning back against Persephone so that she could no longer rest her chin against her head, looking up at her with a large smile on her face.
"Because she's going to be very well behaved, like a lady, and I do so love the movie the Lady and the Tramp." Faye said causing for Persephone to giggle.
The smile already on Persephone's face grew wider at Faye's admission and the Goddess wrapped her arms slightly around Faye being careful not to disrupt Lady. Persephone's long hair tickled Faye's bare shoulders as she leaned in closer to her and she giggled along with her, utterly content. The two of them stayed like that for what felt like hours, wrapped up in their own world while both Hestia and Hades watched them. And, in that moment, everything was perfect. But, alas, nothing can stay perfect forever.
Dear Faye,
Well done Faye, and you are very welcome for the books, let me know when you would like some more. The quote you chose was from Mary Poppins by P.L. Travers. Work consists of a lot of things for me, paperwork is one such thing. The current political climate is always important in my line of work and I may be free sometime in the next few months. I will let you know when I am free and shall expect that pot of tea. I look forward to my entertaining story.
Kind Regards,
Athena

Thank you .Random, WelcomeToTheLoser'sClub, Sabrina987, xenocanaan, pendora59, digreg, chello baby, Death Fury, Angelicsailor, FieryWaters, OTrizy and ephemeral-times for your reviews! You guys are amazing! Here's an extra long chapter to say how sorry I am for making you all wait.
.Random: I'm so happy to be making you worried…is that bad of me? All I'm going to say, is that Faye is going to make some mistakes that are going to come back to bite her big time later on throughout this story. But that's the aim I want to show with this fanfic, that people make mistakes, they fuck up and so do the Gods, neither are perfect.
WelcomeToTheLoser'sClub: I'm so happy that you're enjoying so far, and I hope you like Lady and how the relationships are continuing to evolve.
xenocanaan: I love the way their dynamic is going too, in my opinion he definitely likes teasing her, teasing and testing her, he's waiting for her to slip up. He's one of my favourite Gods, so expect quite a bit of screen time for him, especially in later questions.
pendora59: Thank you so much! Yes, Faye does now have a Hellhound to call her own and thank you so much, I wanted to have a type of OC I hadn't really seen yet and put them in a situation I hadn't read about yet. In the PJO fanfiction a lot of the OC's are demigods or gods themselves and I have nothing against that, but I thought, why not a human who can see through the Mist, who might just wrap some very important/powerful characters around her very mortal fingers.
digreg: I'm not saying anything about pairings yet, but I love this idea I'll admit! What I will say is that whoever Faye chooses to have a 'relationship' with, some of friendships she has are going to become strained, if she chooses one person then another might get cranky and vice versa. If she does choose a human or demigod to have a relationship with let's just say that the Gods are not going to be super duper happy.
chello baby: No, they are not good nightmares at all, but they do play into a big fact that they have made Faye into the person she it today. And Hecate is always smug, I just love her so much. Thank you very much and I hope you enjoy this one just as much as the last.
Death Fury: Thank you! And it is debated whether it is a Chinese Proverb, Confucius or William L. Watkinson or Eleanor Roosevelt. Well done!
FieryWaters: I was so worried I hadn't and thank you! I'm really trying to get a correct characterisation for Hades, I mean, he's definitely going to become a silent supporter to Faye while he is also just waiting for her to annoy his wife or step out of line. And I really hope you likes this chapter.
OTrizy: I will definitely be doing a Hestia and Persephone POV soon, like you said, it would be interesting to see a POV from any of the Goddesses, and in a few chapters you should expect to see a few chapters in the Gods POV's. I just hope I do them justice.
I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter, so we have the introduction of Lady (because we all know she's now the most important character in this fanfiction) and Morpheus. I hope that I have done them justice. Also, hint for my readers, Faye will be getting one more pet later on in this series, does anyone have any guesses? And, we will be having a very interesting meeting next chapter, any guesses?
I am so sorry for not having this chapter out sooner, real life has been super busy with the end of semester and just life in general. Also, I'm thinking of going back through all my chapters and fixing any spelling/grammatical and tense mistakes soon, just a warning if you see things saying 'updated' or something.
Lastly, would you guys prefer me to stop answering the reviews at the bottom of the page? I can answer them in PM's if you guys would prefer.
Again thank you to anyone who Followed, Favourited and/or Reviewed this story, you guys are what made me want to continue writing this. I hope everyone has an awesome week!
