Crossroads of Destiny
Chapter 3
He floated in a vast sea of nothingness. No sound, no light, absolutely nothing could penetrate the Abyss he was trapped in for eternity. He raged, he fought and he pummeled through the darkness that was his prison, but to no avail. There was nothing he could do to escape. Neither completely dead, nor completely alive, he was stuck in this oppressive place, alone, and destined to remain that way for his crimes. His blood continuously boiled with fury and the absolute desire for revenge. His thoughts were dark and blood filled as visions of his retribution ruled his sinister mind causing his last threads of sanity to snap. Not aware of the passage of time, he only had one goal in mind.
Escape.

Aislinn checked her watch as she dashed back to her dorm room after having taken too long of a shower. She had to hurry, or she would be late for her audition with Mr. Myers, the music instructor. Carelessly dropping her shower things and wet towel on her bed she vigorously brushed her long hair, grimacing as she hit a large snarl. Frustrated, she twisted the wet mass of hair up and clipped it out of the way. Giving herself a once over she nodded in satisfaction that she looked professional and serious enough in her white mohair sweater and dark grey slacks. She grabbed her violin case, glad that there was already an amp in the auditorium and dashed out of her room. She ran down the hallway to the stairs descending them two at a time. She bumped into another student and without looking back shouted her apology as she continued on. She finally reached the Entrance Way to the dorms seeing both Kate and Sarah waiting for her.
"I'm sorry! I didna mean to make you wait." Aislinn breathed out upon reaching them.
Sarah waved her hand in dismissal. "We only just got here ourselves. Are you ready?"
Nodding briskly, the Irish teen followed her two new friends towards the music room. After returning to the dorms last night after the disaster at Nicky's, the three women had gathered in Aislinn's room for a night of true girly fun. It had helped the raven-haired woman ignore the encounter with Aaron Abbot and her brief flash of insight into the horrible teen's character.
The trio reached the doors of the auditorium slipping inside. Seating themselves in the back row, Sarah and Kate watched as Aislinn approached Mr. Myers who was on stage.
"This seat taken?"
Sarah jumped in surprise. She shook her head no as Reid and Tyler joined them.
"What are you doing here?" Kate leaned over and asked them.
"Moral support. And so that Baby Boy here can apologize."
Tyler scowled at Reid's flippant tone. "Actually, I had already told Aislinn that I would come when she scheduled the audition back in Ireland."
Nodding in understanding, the two women turned their attention back to the stage. Mr. Myers was walking off stage, seating himself in the front row as Aislinn carefully removed her gloves before reverently lifting her sleek electric violin from its case.
Caleb and Pogue joined the foursome in the back row as the Irish teen was plugging into the amp. Shifting seats a bit, all six of the back row spectators settled in as Aislinn quietly tuned her instrument.
"She is really good." Tyler said softly, already having heard her play back in Éire. He was surprised that Caleb and Pogue showed up, but from the disgruntled look on his longhaired friend's face, it was obvious that the eldest son of Ipswich had forced him to come. He figured that Sarah had asked Caleb to come, if for the sole reason to get to know Aislinn better.
Up on the stage, the petite woman had finished tuning her instrument and announced the piece she would be playing, after turning on the amp. Closing her eyes, she tapped her foot to start a rhythm and drew her bow across the strings. She let herself fall into the bliss that was music as her fingers flew over the strings and her bow moved swiftly.
"Unbelievable!" Sarah breathed as the powerful notes soared through the room causing her blood to sing in response.
"I told you she was good." Tyler said with pride.
Kate watched entranced at the graceful movements of her friend on stage. She glanced over at her boyfriend and was surprised to see his stony face. How could he be unmoved by the sheer power of the intricate piece she was obviously playing from memory?
Lost in her own world, Aislinn continued to play, imagining that she was back in her Máthair's room. She poured her heart and soul into the piece and as the final note died she opened her eyes.
Reid jumped to his feet and let out a loud whistle while Tyler, Sarah, Kate and Caleb stood up clapping. Blushing, Aislinn lowered her instrument and directed her attention to Mr. Myers who was beaming at her.
"Wonderful! Absolutely marvelous! You are most definitely in!"
Bowing her head slightly, the Irish teen allowed a large grin to appear on her face as she glowed from the praise.
"Thank you Mr. Myers."
"No, thank you Ms. Turlough. It is a real pleasure to have someone with your caliber of talent join us. I can say with absolute certainty that you will easily pass the test for first chair."
"What?"
"First Chair Ms.Turlough. I plan on having a little competition between you and Ms. March who is our current First Chair. It will be placed to a vote of course. I had originally thought that if you proved to be as good as reputed, that I would only have the orchestra members vote. But now that I've heard you, I think that it would be more fun to hold the competition for the entire school to vote on."
"I..I..I dunna know what to say! I ne'er wanted to replace anyone."
"Consider it not as a replacement, but as a god given right."
Aislinn nervously chewed her lip before nodding.
"Splendid! I will see you Monday at 4 PM, here. Now I have arrangements to make. It was an absolute pleasure Ms. Turlough and I look forward to the competition on Monday!"
With that, the energetic man bustled away leaving the petite teen onstage to gape after him.
"Aislinn! You were terrific!" Sarah squealed as she bounded up the stage stairs to give her friend a hug.
The raven haired woman was almost bowled over from the force that was Sarah Wenham, and carefully patted the blond on her back, making sure to only come in contact with her friend's shirt.
"Thanks Sarah. I was a bit nervous and I hoped that it was not too obvious."
The vibrant blond released her friend allowing the Irish teen to step back and retrieve her gloves after securing her instrument.
"Nervous? Girl, no way! Sure didn't look like it to me."
Aislinn smiled at Kate's statement. It was nice to already have support and loyalty from her two new friends. She was grabbed from behind and swung around.
"Reid Garwin, put me down this instant!" She said laughingly.
"As my lady commands." The blond man said releasing her with a mock bow.
Chuckling, Sarah leaned into Caleb as he; Tyler and Pogue joined them on stage.
"Well done Aislinn. I knew you would blow Mr. Myers away!"
"Thanks Tyler." The Irish woman said softly, smiling uncertainly at him. He sighed and ran a hand through his hair.
"Ah screw it." He muttered before engulfing the petite woman in a bear hug. "I'm sorry for my part of the argument last night. I never meant to hurt you."
"I know. It's OK. I'm not angry with you. I am glad that you came."
Reid felt it was necessary to interrupt their family bonding moment. "How come I don't get one of those?" He pouted, holding his arms open wide.
Tyler snorted, before releasing his cousin and approaching his best friend.
"Well, I don't really think that you are my type, but since I can't resist those puppy dog eyes, I guess I can give you one hug."
He approached the blond man with a grin on his face causing Reid to back up holding his hands in front of him in protest.
Laughing at the look on his face, Tyler took pity on him and settled for giving his best friend a noogie. Shaking her head at their antics, Aislinn checked her instrument case, loosening her taut bow and unplugging the cord. Clicking the case shut, she made sure that the amp was off and that everything was in order before rejoining the group.
"I'm going to take this back to my dorm." The raven-haired woman said patting her violin case affectionately.
"We'll come with you." Sarah said cheerfully looping her arm through Aislinn's.
"Oh, that's not really necessary. I don't want to hold you up from enjoying your Saturday."
Waving off the Irish teen's protest, Sarah steered her friend out of the auditorium doors.
"Nonsense! Part of enjoying the weekend, particularly the weekend after mid terms, is being able to hang out with your friends, which you happen to be. Plus you are new here, and what kind of friend would I be if I didn't at least show you a good time your first few days here?"
"She's right you know." Kate said from Aislinn's other side. "Besides, how will you know who to avoid if we don't point them out to you?"
Ascending the stairs, the trio of girls weren't paying attention the Sons of Ipswich that trailed after them. Caleb watched his girlfriend with a half smile as she talked a mile a minute to her new friend.
"Sarah seems to like her." Pogue said suddenly.
Caleb slowed his pace allowing the girls to get farther ahead with Reid and Tyler following the trio closely. He cocked his head at his best friend.
"Yes she does. So does Kate." The coven leader pointed out.
Pogue snorted. "Yeah, well, Sarah likes everybody."
"Nah. She only pretends to like everybody. Except for Aaron Abbott and Kira March."
"Those two are made for each other. Both are sluts and fucking annoying as hell. Besides the brainless idiots that follow them, I don't know anyone who really does like Abbott and March."
Caleb laughed at his friend's accurate description of the two biggest whores in the school. "I wonder how Kira will take it when Aislinn kicks her ass at the music competition."
Pogue shrugged. "Who cares?"
Eyeing his longhaired friend, Caleb wondered how to approach his next topic. Deciding bluntness was the best option he stopped walking completely and grasped his friend's arm.
"Pogue, what is going on with you lately? Is it the whole thing with your bike accident? Collins? Kate? Something been eating at you man and it's making you a real asshole at times."
Jerking his arm away Pogue stared into his best friend's eyes. "I'm always an asshole Caleb."
Shaking his head negatively the handsome Head of the Coven sighed. "You were always an ass Pogue, but not like this. The things you said last night about Aislinn were unjustified and uncalled for. Hell man, even you have to know that! You adore women, you always have! Are things really that bad with Kate that you would treat a coven brother's family member so poorly?"
Snarling, Pogue shoved the taller man into the wall.
"Back off Caleb! What's up with me and Kate does not concern you!"
The eldest Son of Ipswich let his eyes grow black as he thundered his displeasure.
"The fuck it doesn't Pogue! You are the next to Ascend and if you can't get your emotions into some semblance of control, you are fucked! We all will be fucked!"
Breathing hard, the two men stared at each other. Caleb calmed himself down and ran a hand through his hair.
"Pogue, man, just talk to me! Please."
Sighing the handsome longhaired man closed his eyes briefly. "I don't know Caleb. I don't know what is wrong with me. I feel like my emotions are out of whack and I don't have control of anything anymore. Not Kate and me, not school, not even my powers."
Silence reigned between the two men for a few moments.
"You're worried about the Ascension." Caleb stated bluntly.
"Weren't you?" Pogue countered.
"Of course I was. Particularly with the added pleasure of Mr. Chase Collins. Pogue, you'll be fine. There is no Chase to worry about anymore."
"I know that! It's just that there is something off. Something is not right. I can feel it. I can't describe it, but something is going to happen and I don't think it will be something good."
"I know."
Pogue stared in shock at his best friend. "What?!"
Caleb sighed. "I feel it to. Everyday. I didn't tell you guys because I didn't want anyone to worry. That is why I am so cautious about Aislinn, or any one new entering our lives, our circle of friends."
"You still should've told me! At least then I wouldn't feel like I was going crazy!"
"Pogue, the fact that you can even sense something coming our way is a true testament to your growing power. You will be ready to Ascend when it is time. We will face whatever comes our way, together, like true brothers of our coven."
"I didn't know you were one for inspirational speeches." Pogue said dryly.
Laughing, Caleb slapped his friend's shoulder. "What can I say, you bring out the sappiness in me."
Shoving his friend, Pogue shook his head. "We had better catch up with the others before they send a search party for us."
"I wonder if they've decided on what to do yet." Caleb said as the two men started walking towards the dorms.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Nice place!" Reid whistled as he looked around Aislinn's room.
She shrugged, placing her violin case on the bench at the foot of her bed. "It works."
Tyler laughed. "That's because you are used to living in a fucking castle!"
"Don't swear." The beautiful Irish teen said automatically causing Reid to double over in laughter at her rebuke.
"So, what do you want to do?" Sarah asked leaping onto Aislinn's neatly made bed.
Absently pulling out jeans and a shirt from her dresser, the raven-haired woman chewed her lip in thought.
"I know what I would like to do, but I doubt that any of you would be game."
"What do you want to do?" Kate asked curiously.
"Swimming."
Tyler burst out in laughter, half expecting her quick response. "Man, I should've known!"
"You want to go swimming. Now?" Reid asked in disbelief.
"Why not? I used to go swimming daily back home. I miss it. Are students not allowed to use the pool on weekends?"
"No we are allowed. You any good?"
Tyler laughed at his best friend's question, knowing what was on his mind. He winked at his cousin who had developed a mischievous gleam in her eye.
"I'm decent enough. I did beat Tyler before, but that was in the ocean and I think he let me."
Reid looked at Aislinn's innocent posture and expression. "Okay, I'm game. Wanna race?"
She shrugged. "Sure. What are the stakes?"
Reid raised his brows. "You want to bet on our race? Sweetheart, I have to warn you that I am on the swim team, the same swim team that won at Nationals last year."
"Wow. It sounds like you are good. Now I am a bit nervous about swimming against you. But, I feel like I am on top of the world after my audition so I think I will race you anyway."
Tyler tried his best to maintain a straight face at Aislinn's wide-eyed innocent expression. Sarah glanced at him curiously as a strangled cough escaped his throat. He shook his head at her look. Kate was quick to pick up on Aislinn's act.
"I think a race is an excellent idea!" She exclaimed in support of her devious friend.
"So what are the stakes?" Reid asked.
"I think that if I win, which appears to be a bit of a long shot, that tonight all of us go out somewhere and you have to wear a dress and wait on me hand and foot the entire time. Oh, and make-up too. In fact, us girls will have to dress you completely."
"Ha! Like that's going to happen. Okay, I agree. But if I win, you will have to follow me around like a fan girl and pretend that you adore me and act like I walk on water whenever you are in public for an entire week."
"Reid, a week? That's not very fair." Sarah pointed out.
Aislinn held up her hand. "No, no. That's fine. I accept your terms Mr. Garwin. Meet you at the pool in fifteen minutes?"
"You got it Babe! See you there!" With that, the blond man exited her room, dragging Tyler with him.
After they left, Sarah whirled around to face Aislinn. "Are you insane? Reid is one of the best on the team! Why did you take his outrageous bet?"
"Relax Sarah. Reid may be good, but I am better. I will not lose." The Irish teen said gathering her sports bag and tossing in a couple of towels and a spare outfit. She went behind her dressing screen to change into her swimsuit. Maybe she was wrong when she had told Tyler the first night she met him that she would not socialize with his friends. She smirked. This was going to be fun!
Walking out from behind the screen, she pulled on a pair of track pants and a zip up sweatshirt. Twisting her hair in a bun she secured it with a hair band. Seeing Sarah's skeptical expression, Aislinn turned around to face her friend, slipping on a pair of flip-flops.
"Don't worry so much. Trust me, I will win. Then we can have the pleasure of dressing up Mr. Reid Garwin to our heart's content."
Kate burst out laughing. "Girl, I think she's right. She really will win."
As the trio prepared to leave the room, Sarah asked on more question. "It's not that I doubt you but how can you be so confident?"
"I am a daughter of Éire. We do not fail."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Are you serious?" Caleb asked incredibly as Tyler filled him and Pogue in on what happened as they walked through the pool doors. "Is she insane?"
"Naw man! She's actually really, really good. Olympic level good. She actually kicked my ass every time we raced."
"Does Reid know that?"
"She may have mentioned beating me once." Tyler said with a grin.
Caleb shook his head. "I actually hope she wins. Seeing Reid in a dress will soooo make my year!"
Pogue snorted. "That's if she wins." He muttered as they joined Sarah, Kate and Aislinn who was stretching her legs on the bench.
"Course I'll win you rude mon! Then I can race ye and humiliate ye!" the Irish woman said not taking her attention away from her stretches.
"I'd love to see you try, princess!" He shot back, irate at her remark.
"No' a problem mon. Name the time an' place."
"Alright, you two. Peace. We are all here for some fun and to see Reid get his ass kicked." Caleb interjected.
"Fifty bucks says girlie here gets her ass handed to her!" Pogue said loudly hoping to anger the raven-haired woman.
"I'll take that bet." Tyler said suddenly. "Anyone else want in on this?"
Aislinn shook her head as they argued back and forth drawing a small crowd. To her distaste she saw Aaron Abbott with a slightly frizzy haired girl hanging off of his arm approaching the group. She slipped behind the small crowd to a bench further away and breathed deeply as she removed her zip up sweatshirt and track pants. She peeled off her gloves, and stood there, enjoying the warm moist air, waiting for Reid.
"So we gonna do this?"
She smiled as her opponent joined her. "But of course. How do you want this to work?"
"You're not getting a head start you know."
She scoffed loudly. "I don't need one. Freestyle. One full lap of the pool, down and back?"
He nodded in agreement. "Who's calling the start?'
She shrugged, unsure. "You pick. I don't really know anyone here. And why are there so many people here?"
"Are you kidding? Everyone is curious about the new student, particularly someone who dared to challenge one of the Sons of Ipswich to a race."
"But how did they get here so fast?" She asked nervously eyeing a rather large group of students just entering the pool area.
"Scared?" Reid asked with amusement. She shot him a glare, her grey eyes flashing. He opted to answer her question. "It's called technology babe. Cell phones are a wondrous thing you know. You can e-mail, listen to music, surf the web, take photos…" He trailed off eyeing her figure up and down with an appreciating look.
"Stop it mon! Ye are gettin' on my nerves" She hissed, crossing her arms over her chest protectively.
He smirked widely. Unnerve the opponent, a classic ploy, but one that seemingly worked excellently on naïve, sheltered girls. Perfect.
"You two ready?" Caleb asked approaching them. "I'm calling the race so there will be no concern for interference."
They both nodded. Reid pulled down his goggles, not seeing Aislinn smile at that. Poor Reid. He had no idea just how relaxed she really was. Caleb whistled for silence and everyone assembled took seats. He addressed them in a loud voice.
"Alright. They will be swimming one full lap, down and back. The one who touches the wall first will win. Seeing as how quite a few of you have money riding on this race I suggest you show your support."
"1.."
"2.."
"3.."
"GO!"
Tyler watched as both of the swimmers took off like a rocket, evenly matched. Halfway down, Reid began to slowly pull ahead, barely at first, but then further as they reached the wall. Aislinn executed a flawless roll as she pushed off from the wall shooting through the water at an unbelievable speed. She quickly reached Reid and began to over take him, her strokes steady.
Sarah grasped Kate's arm excitedly as Aislinn pulled ahead a full body length. Both women were cheering loudly for their new friend as were quite a few of the spectators. Pogue sat next to Tyler, his face expressionless as he watched Aislinn touch the wall almost an entire body length ahead of Reid.
"The winner is Aislinn Turlough!" Caleb shouted as Reid and the Irish woman breathed heavily from exertion.
"I can't believe I lost to you!" Reid exclaimed as they exited the pool.
"Why? Because I'm a girl?" she asked warily as she reached her towel and wrapped it around her waist.
"Yes! No! I mean I don't know! I hate loosing!" He sulked as he dried off.
"That was amazing!" Sarah gushed as she and Kate rushed up to Aislinn to congratulate her. The petite teen backed up a few steps and held up her hands.
"I am soaking wet here. Let me at least throw on my clothes!" She said laughingly.
"Girl, is there nothing you can't do? You swim, you play the violin, and you are a brain. Tyler told us that you got placed into all advanced classes." Kate said as Aislinn pulled on her track pants.
"I can't sing. Or cook. Or sew. Oh, and I am really horrible at anything having to do with art!"
That caused the trio of girls to burst into laughter drawing attention their way. Unwanted attention.
"Well, well, well. Look what we have here boys. A Nubian princess, a blond goddess and a water nymph. And would you look at that! There are three of us and none of their men are around to pay them any attention. Too busy razzing Garwin."
"Abbott." Kate said coldly as Jason Saunders eyed her. "What do you want?"
Aaron and his cronies stepped towards the three girls causing them to back up.
"Why to congratulate the lovely winner of that little race you just held."
Aislinn lifted her chin noticing how both of the teens standing next to Aaron were eyeing Kate and Sarah hungrily. Abbot only had eyes for her though and she felt a tremor of fear slide through her. The trio of men advanced even further on the girls, who in a matter of a less than a minute had moved quite a distance from the crowd.
"We'll scream." Sarah warned as their backs came in contact with the pool doors.
"I don't think so." Steve Baker said leaning in close to the blond woman.
"Believe it asshole!" Kate opened her mouth to shout for help, but Jason covered her mouth with his hand. Her eyes darted to the side wildly as she saw both Sarah and Aislinn in the same predicament. Where, oh where, were the guys?
They were shoved roughly out of the doors and into the hallway. The women struggled as they were forced further down the deserted hallway and into a nearby empty room.
"Fuck!" Jason shouted Kate bit his hand. He back handed her and knocked her into a small bookshelf. She shakily wiped blood from her lip.
Sarah became wild at seeing her best friend treated so roughly. She clawed and kicked at Steve to release his hold on her. She couldn't get herself situated enough to bite her own assailant so she resorted to muffled screams. One of her wild kicks hit home as Steve threw her away from him with a roar. She crashed into the opposite wall, her head connecting with an alarming crunch. She slid limply to the floor.
Jason yanked the shaken Kate to her feet and put her into a chokehold as Steve advanced on the comatose Sarah. Aislinn stood rooted to the spot her back pressed against Aaron's chest.
"Do you see what happens when you defy my wishes?" He purred in her ear. Her grey eyes were locked on Kate's fear filled eyes.
"Now be a good girl and don't scream." He slowly removed his hand from her mouth and trailed it along her jaw line. She clenched her fists in anger careful to avoid touching him with her bared hands.
"Last night, you weren't very nice. There I was, only wanting to dance with you and you had to be a bitch!" He lashed out with his fist, striking her in the face. She spat out blood from her split lip.
"Look at that. This Irish bitch does bleed red after all!"
Aislinn kept her eyes focused on Kate's horrified face.
"Go t' hell. Ye are naught but a wee bully who gets jollies from hurtin' women."
"What was that?" Abbott asked lowly.
"Ye heard me mon! Ye canna get a woman willingly so ye resort ta violence!"
"If I were you bitch, I would watch what I said." He motioned to Jason who fisted Kate's hair, violently yanking her head back.
"Stop! I will cooperate wit ye. Dunna hurt her!" Jason released his painful grip on Kate's hair.
"What do ye want?" Aislinn asked dully looking down unwilling to see the triumph in Aaron's eyes. He chuckled at her question. Leaning in close he spoke one word.
"You."
She shuddered at his tone, snapping her eyes up. There was no mistaking his meaning, and Kate's panicked eyes proved that.
"Why? Ye have ta know ye willna get away wit' this!"
He laughed loudly and released his hold on her. Distantly, she could hear Tyler's voice calling for her. She sent a silent message, pleading with Kate to stay still. She didn't want her friend hurt like Sarah was. Understanding flashed in Kate's eyes.
Aislinn was going to do something stupid. She had to so she could help her comatose friend.
"I have fucked skinny bitches, fatties, sluts, virgins, poor ones, rich ones but I've never fucked an Irish one."
He leaned in close. "I always get away with what I do. One of the perks of having a father in the state Supreme Court is that I can get away with all sorts of fun things."
Hearing her name being called again, this time closer, she took a deep breath while the three men's eyes were fixed on the classroom door.
"TYLER…..HELP US!!!!!" She shouted at the top of her lungs, dashing towards Jason and knocking him off balance, but not before Abbott managed to deliver a blow to the side of her head. Freed, Kate quickly kicked out towards Aaron who had been rushing towards Aislinn, effectively knocking him down.
Enraged, Jason grabbed Aislinn by her neck and lifted her clear off of the floor, seemingly intent on choking the life from her. Kate screamed as Steve leapt at her intent on tackling her to the ground.
The classroom door exploded inwards, sending all of the occupants flying. Covered in dust and debris, Aislinn coughed as she spared Kate a glance, seeing that her mocha skinned friend was all right. She weakly crawled over to where Sarah's prone body lay, ignoring the crashing and yells in the background.
The Irish teen held her bare hands on either side of her blond friend's head and tried to concentrate on Sarah's injury. She was so tired and her head was throbbing. She wanted to close her eyes so badly as her friend's face swam in and out of focus, but calling on all of her considerable willpower, the raven-haired teen was able to concentrate as her healing power swirled inside of her. A soft white glow surrounded her hands as she gave up part of her own strength and life force to help her hurt friend.
Feeling the now healed woman stir under her hands, Aislinn sighed in relief before pitching to the side as darkness consumed her, unaware of the panicked hands that cradled her head, calling her name.

A/N: As a hint, in the first chapter I had said that Aislinn was thrice blessed. Keep that in mind as the story unfolds. I will be working on the next chapter tonight and I hope to have it posted by this weekend. I know some of you may possibly have some confusion, but that should be cleared up bit by bit as we go along.
Now, I don't know Kira's last name so I made one up. Lazy of me not to try to research it, I know. So for this story her name will be Kira March.
Also, a big THANK YOU to those of you who have been considerate enough to review! Please keep it up!
I have been discouraged from the lack of reviews that I have received so far. I realize that I only have 2 chapters posted (this one makes three), but I still would like to hear from you. More reviews more/faster posting. Please hook up a starving writer! Take 30 seconds and drop me a line.
Thanks for reading everyone!
