I know that author notes are not supposed to be counted as a chapter-but I didn't know how else to write this where everyone would see it.

To those of you who read the chapter 12 "I'm sorry" *bows*

All of the negative reviews made me think; and yes, I was honestly displeased with what I had written. It was not in character, the plot was poor, and it was generally boring. I was so worried about updating in a timely manner after vacation, that I didn't honestly was not concerned with anything that mattered to the story. I will hopefully be updating soon. I have to take some time and think about how the story will progress, along with thinking about some of the characters that will be introduced. I really do want to make this a quality story for everyone to enjoy, and that is a difficult thing. So as much as I hate to ask for more time, it is needed to continue this story. Hopefully you will all understand. I need to find my muse again for this particular story.

Thank you to Silverstargirl and Fizzy-Flo who left wonderful reviews, I promise that I will make it up to you, with a much better chapter.

If anyone has any suggestions please feel free to message me. I can't promise that I will include any/all of them but I will most certainly give all of them serious consideration.

To whom it may concern: We all appreciate reviews, and while I may ask for reviews, I offer you the time-old phrase; If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all. I do honestly appreciate reviews, really. But if you are displeased with the entire story, that may perhaps be a personal taste and not a reflection upon my writing, there is no need to be genuinely mean, and your reviews have been deleted. I know I am not the best writer, and I know that I cannot please all the people all the time; but this story, as with all my stories, are there for those who enjoy them. I do not appreciate being called a "complete failure". If you do not like my story-then it is not for you and no one is forcing you to read it. If you are displeased with a particular part- then comment and offer me some constructive criticism. I also always read my messages, feel free to do that as well. I hate to lock reviews for only those who have an account, but will do so if we cannot all act like respectful adults.

Thank you for everyone who is reading this and enjoying it so far. I appreciate it and am so glad that so many people are reading it and dedicated to it. I get an alert in my e-mail every time someone either marks the story as a favorite or marks it for a story alert. I have to admit that the number of e-mails that I get alerting me each time someone does so, warms my heart. So please don't lose faith. I will keep writing and will not abandon the story. I write this story as much for you as I do for myself, sometimes I just forget that.

Thank You,
