Update: Tweaked/rewritten August 2020
Life's a Bitch
"Finally," Avalanche muttered, watching Eclipse closely as she locked the door.
The redhead could feel his gaze and it wasn't warm and fluffy. Quite the opposite actually. Oh well, whoever gave Avalanche his code name was closer to the truth than they thought. Kudos for them, Eclipse thought and turned around, not even bothering to look at him.
"So, what'cha got to tell us?" Chronos asked, always straight and to the point it seemed.
"You first. I want to see if what I have planned will help you two at all."
Chronos just shrugged, not really caring either way. "Fine. Avalanche was right and there is a smaller facility about seven miles from the main complex. Security's tighter there so that might be the place that they're keeping the suits."
"Or just the raw materials," Avalanche jumped in. "We didn't see any technicians or mechanics around so we're thinking that it's just a storage area."
"So, the visitors or people not involved in the development won't get suspicious. I'm sure that all those parts were bound to attract attention sooner or later if they were just sitting unattended at the main compound," Eclipse observed, setting her laptop down on her cot before going to the kitchen sink for some tap water to drink.
"Then again, wouldn't it just be easier to keep both the materials and the machines in the same area?" Avalanche wondered aloud.
"Easier yes, but safer no," Chronos responded. "If the building was found on its own they could just make up some excuse as to why such materials were there, but if the suits were there too then they'd be trapped. Morgenroete has enough going on that the plans for the suits probably weren't even questioned."
"Most likely all the parts are being made in different sectors," Eclipse continued, agreeing with his reasoning. She took a sip out of her glass but spit it out the moment it hit her tongue. She had hoped that the water was the thing swishing around her mouth and not something else. Not really wanting to find out, she dumped it all into the sink and walked over to the fridge, talking as if nothing unusual happened. "Either they aren't assembled yet, or have just recently been. I don't know their completion date so we can't know for sure."
"If the parts aren't assembled yet then we might be in a bit of a jam. I'm not sure what the Commander planned on doing once we got him the information, but I'm thinking he might just try and steal them. If Orb is working with the Earth Forces than this colony would no longer sustain its neutral state." Avalanche saw Eclipse opening the fridge and called for her to get him something. She sighed, but grabbed a soda anyway and tossed it over to his cot.
"So, basically, he could barge in and no one could say anything about it," Chronos said, catching the can that the redhead threw to him next. "You're right. If the parts were scattered about the place then they'd never get them all."
"I think that's where I can come in." Eclipse twisted the top off the bottled water and took a long drink. She met curious stares when her head leveled again but waited until she was sitting down on her cot to continue. "I've been following one of the secretaries that works in Morgenroete. She's about my height, same body, but our looks definitely clash. I'll tell you more about that later. I'm going to use her identity to get into the place and look through the files. Maybe I'll even get a glimpse of the suits if I'm lucky."
"If they're assembled," Avalanche reminded her.
"I plan on finding that out," Eclipse said.
"That sounds like a good idea and all, but by the looks of things you've only been tailing this girl for a little over a day. What makes you think that you can just mimic her every move and fool everyone?" Chronos asked.
The redhead had to agree. She was having the same fears herself, but from what she could tell no one really knew Kirston. Even if they did, they were most likely on the other side of the facility or in a different wing altogether. "She just transferred to a new part of the building and no one really knows her. There's a lot of people in the place too. It's hard to keep names and faces straight when that's the case."
"Chronos is on to something," Avalanche stressed. "It's a risky move."
"Well, what did you two have in mind? Break in?"
"We were thinking about it," he replied, ruffling his hair as if he was thinking it over.
"It's our safest bet," Chronos continued.
"Safest bet? Guys, it'd take one hell of a plan to get into the place, find the information and prototypes, get out, and then make it to the Commander all in one night. Not to mention that nothing could go wrong and we have a week timeframe to come up with something? That would be our first mistake if we thought our plan was perfect after that short of time. Why not give me a chance and then if something goes wrong—"
"Terribly wrong…" Avalanche muttered but she ignored him.
"If something goes wrong then you two can try to infiltrate."
"Well, if you did get caught then the security would be upped and the machines moved. How do you propose we find them then?" Chronos shook his head. "No, we'd have a better chance of getting inside with the three of us together."
"So, you're not even going to give me a chance?"
"No, we can't afford—" Chronos began, but Avalanche stopped him with an upheld hand.
"Wait, why don't we let her go? We can be her eyes and ears outside while she's on the inside. This could work."
"And how do you expect us to communicate?" Eclipse asked, a little wary. She didn't like the look in Avalanche's eyes. They looked too confident. And she definitely didn't like his sudden change in tone. Now he liked her idea? Perhaps he knew something that she didn't?
Was he winning in this game after all?
Holding up a finger to pause them, he leaned over and fished through his front pocket, producing a small white and black gizmo with a screen on the front and an antennae sticking out from the top. It was a cell phone, or at least some older version of one. "With this."
Inside the facility itself no one had been allowed electronics such as cell phones and tablets. Laptops were okay, because the recruits had been required to do their own research, but any outside communication was monitored. Cell phones in particular weren't allowed because of their easy access to the outside world. Many of the recruits kept theirs anyway and apparently Avalanche was among them.
Chronos and Eclipse stopped, glancing at each other briefly before looking back at their teammate. That was ballsy. "You've got to be kidding me," Eclipse countered first. Chronos just hung his head.
"What? It makes sense to me."
"Obviously," the redhead muttered.
"No, listen. This'll work. If anything happens, we'll message your target's phone."
"Message me? So, tell me, will I get the warning after I'm captured or can you actually type that fast?"
"You'll get it quickly. I have a speaker on my phone that will record everything I say and then send it to someone in word-form. Here, I'll show you." He flipped open the top, punched one button and then spoke into the bottom of the phone softly. Eclipse couldn't hear it, but Chronos chuckled slightly. Now the redhead really didn't want to read it.
"How will you get her number?" she asked.
"You'll send me a message from her phone," the soldier smirked. "Here, I'll send it to myself so you can see what to expect." He took a moment to set up the transmission and handed the phone to her when he had finished.
Eclipse felt ridiculous. She hadn't even touched such a contraption since the first day of training, so she felt a bit foolish, to say the least. The symbol of a closed envelope was in the bottom left-hand corner and the weapon sighed again. She went to her menu and opened the message, shaking her head on what it said. It read: "I told you this would work!"
She sighed and handed the phone back. "Fine, we do it your way. Tell me your number and I'll memorize it." He did just that and she ran the numbers through her head a few times, coming up with a strategy to remember it and nodded. "So, we're clear on my plan then?" They shrugged and nodded, shifting to start whatever was next on their list of priorities. "Wait, one more thing. I need you two to help me with something."
"Like what?" Chronos asked, looking a tad curious. He was almost cute at that moment, but Eclipse really couldn't put her finger on why. Maybe it was the innocent glint in eyes.
How often could a weapon pull that off?
The redhead just smirked and walked over to her bag and couldn't help but wonder how they'd react.
Would she look good with blue hair?
Eclipse, now a bluehead, tucked the last strand of hair under the hat. It looked like a Picasso painting gone wrong (if those could go wrong) with as many colors that were etched on the masterpiece itself. In fact, the hat looked like something Picasso probably wore, unless it was just the common stereotype.
Yes, it was one of those poofy, knitted things that had the pompom sitting on the very top.
Chronos had been in charge of finding the headgear the night before and even though he really didn't have enough time to browse, more like he quit 10 minutes in, Eclipse wished he would have found something a little more… modern. Knowing she didn't have anymore time to argue, she left the apartment and the boys to their beauty sleep.
She told them that she started work at eight and they had to be up by then. Looking at them now she was getting a little nervous, however they haven't let her down.
Not yet anyway.
She tugged the jacket closer to her body as she walked, going through every detail. She was going to meet Kirston in her apartment for coffee, slip her the drug and then take off from there to work. Eclipse hoped that the morning would go by swiftly because she really couldn't afford any delays. There was a worried mantra circulating in the back of her mind that was making her second guess the girl's daily, full-time schedule, but she couldn't worry about that now. If Kirston didn't work that day, she was fucked and would just have to try and salvage the situation as best she good.
If everything went according to plan, she tried to convince herself, she had eight hours to play with during her work shift, but remembering what she had to do and what she had to find out, eight hours just didn't seem enough.
She couldn't remember the last time she had felt so much doubt.
She quietly cursed the feeling.
You'll be fine, she tried to remind herself and stopped near Kirston's building. She checked her watch, 6:00. Was it too early? The bluehead backed up a step and looked up into her window. There seemed to be some kind of light shining through, but whether or not it was a nightlight the weapon wasn't sure. Taking another long breath, she finished the hike to the main door and reached out to buzz the bell to her room.
Please let her be awake.
"Yes? Kari, is that you?"
Yay! Wow, Eclipse felt a little out of character after that emotion. "G'morning Kirston. I didn't wake you, did I? I'd feel so bad if I did."
"Oh no, I've been up for a while now. Please, c'mon up."
Eclipse waited for the door to click open and stepped inside. Taking the stairs two at a time, she reached the room and knocked lightly, not wanting to awaken any of her neighbors. Kirston answered after the first knock with a bright smile on her face. Apparently, she was a morning person. Eclipse wasn't even sure if she could pull off that smile.
Well, she tried anyway. "Hey."
"Nice hat." She was still in her pajamas and they looked quite comfortable. Eclipse actually envied her. The weapon was wearing jeans and a white tank top under a black sports sweater. The thing that threw the whole outfit off was the hat and the red purse that hung awkwardly on her arm. At least those two things matched. It was the most comfortable clothing that she had worn in a while, but Kirston looked downright cozy. Wearing some cutoff, green sweatpants that fell to just below her knees and a baggy t-shirt Eclipse found herself getting tired again.
It was a strange feeling.
"Nice shirt," Eclipse stated, reading the front again for her own amusement. It said: "Life's a bitch. Get a dog."
"You like it? My mom got it for me for Christmas last year."
"She's got a good sense of humor."
Kirston smiled again and stepped aside so that Eclipse could walk inside. Just as she assumed the day before, the apartment was relatively new and ritzy at that. It wasn't terribly large, but definitely larger than the one that the weapon was sharing with the boys. It had a kitchen, two bedrooms, and a living room the size of Eclipse's current apartment. The carpet was very white, but hey, if Kirston didn't think she'd spill anything then why should she doubt her? The furniture was modern and colored with a soft tan. The walls were almost just as white as the carpet with a boarder at the top and the bottom the color maroon.
"Homely," Eclipse commented and Kirston smiled again. Apparently, people can be that happy at six in the morning. The weapon always considered herself a morning person too, but she could never pull off the smile.
Perhaps that was what made a true early bird.
The weapon found herself a little sad at the realization.
"Craig and his friends up still?"
"No, they collapsed about an hour ago. The offer still stands though right?"
"Oh, of course! I've actually been watching for you to walk down the sidewalk. Kinda felt like one of those homicidal stalkers that you were talking about yesterday." She laughed lightly, but Eclipse could only force out a chuckle.
Kirston had no idea.
"Oh, how rude of me, please sit down. I'll get you a cup of coffee. Cream and sugar?"
The weapon nodded, smiled, and then followed her direction to sit down at the table. It was an elegant piece of work, but not so elegant that Eclipse was afraid to touch it. Ivy designs climbed up each of the legs and spread out onto the wooden top that sat four people snugly. She ran a hand lightly over the carved artwork, but it was as smooth as silk.
"Here." The target placed a mug down on the table, careful to put a napkin underneath it so as not to leave a ring on the table. Eclipse knew that mugs normally didn't leave marks on wood, but she wasn't about to argue. This was Kirston's home. "Where does Craig work? If you don't mind me asking that is."
"Oh, I don't mind. He actually works in the Mining District at a factory there that refines the minerals. It's a tough job, I'll give him that. Perhaps that's why I don't mind if he has a few friends over once in a while. He deserves it."
"Well, sometimes," Kirston joked, stirring her coffee in order to make it cool off faster.
"Sounds to me like you don't really have a high opinion of men."
"No, not really. Getting dumped a few times will do that to ya."
"I guess so, but you can't just give up. How bad did your ex treat you anyway?"
"Well…"
"Oh! I'm sorry that was rude of me. If you don't want to talk about it then don't."
"No, Kari, you're sweet and thanks, but I was actually trying to think of a nice way to put it. Whenever I start talking about Kharl I get a little out of hand."
"Oh." Eclipse involuntarily slid her chair back a few inches.
"Here, let me find a picture of him so that you can understand things a little better."
"A picture?"
"Yeah. I guess I just want to see what you think about him."
"Okay," Eclipse responded, not finding any reason to argue. If anything, it would get her out of the room for a few minutes. Watching her go, she felt bad. She knew that Kirston had a lot of faith in her and yet here she was about to drug her coffee. In the back of her mind, the weapon blamed her target, saying that she brought it on herself for placing so much trust in people she just met, but that would have been unfair. Kirston was just a kind-hearted individual and living inside a peaceful colony just made her barriers a tad thin was all.
Eclipse sighed and slipped a hand into her pocket, pulling out a small package of white powder. She heard Kirston mutter "I know one's around here somewhere," before opening it and dumping the contents into the drink. The weapon checked her watch and nodded.
It would start working in about a half hour.
"Found one!" the target yelled and walked back to the table. Eclipse put on a warm smile. Her insides squirmed at her ability to look so kind after knowing what she had just done.
What had that place done to her?
Kirston slid the picture across the table and the Coordinator stopped it with a finger, turning it right-side up. She nearly spit out her coffee.
He was gorgeous.
"Holy shit," she said in awe, but covered her mouth the second she realized what she said. Perhaps Kirston didn't appreciate her ex being so admired, let alone having the only words to describe his beauty be swear ones. That usually meant everyday language wouldn't suffice.
The man, Kharl by name, looked to be a little older than Kirston. He had dark, teal hair that was cut short to his scalp with one delicate strip of white passing from front to back on his right side. In this picture, he seemed to be pointing at it with one tan finger and winking one of his light green eyes. He wore a black blazer with a green dress shirt to match his eyes, top three buttons hanging open and no tie. Black pants and dress shoes finished the outfit and the red rose in his hand made the picture seem complete. His smile took her breath away. It's like FS's, she realized a second later and found her cheeks blushing for real. Their relationship had been bumpy since her and her friends decided to split up, but Eclipse never got rid of her affection for him. A crush perhaps?
Funny how while most of her emotions were stolen, the biggest one hung on.
"He's a looker, isn't he? Don't worry about hiding that blush of yours." Eclipse was about to explain the real reason she was blushing, but she stopped, seeing Kirston take a sip of her coffee.
So, it begins.
"How could you be mad at him?"
"Why, do you think that just because he's good-looking that he's perfect?"
"No. I didn't mean that. I guess I was just wondering what happened was all."
"Well, he did the typical guy thing and cheated on me."
"Oh, you're right that is typical and painful. I'm sorry that it happened."
"With my sister."
Eclipse cringed and couldn't disguise her disgust. "You have got to be kidding me."
"Nope. They're getting married next month."
"Ouch. Well, at least he'll still be around so that you can exact your revenge."
"That is true." She smirked with an evil glint in her eye and then took another sip, well more like a gulp. The coffee by then had cooled down some, so she was able to drink freely. Eclipse found herself sighing before taking a long drink of her own.
The powder wasn't meant to kill her, Eclipse's admiration for the target breaking through in the last second. She had changed the dosage just before leaving the guys behind in the apartment, but not enough so that things wouldn't get painful.
She was still a weapon after all.
"Hey, Kari. What time is it?" Kirston asked, pulling at the collar of her shirt.
Eclipse looked up from the magazine that she was reading and set the mug with her second cup of coffee back down on the table. She knew that Kirston could see the clock easily from where she was sitting on the sofa, but as soon as she looked up at her face, she knew why she asked.
The target's face was ghostly pale and faint sweat drops freckled her forehead. Her eyelids were a tad droopy and her breath came out a little faster than normal. Eclipse could tell that she was trying hard to cover up her condition, but, unfortunately, she wasn't very good at that sort of thing.
"It's quarter to seven." Half hour; right on the mark. "Your shift starts at eight, right? You don't leave this early, do you?" Eclipse decided to make Kirston believe that she was masking her illness well. The confidence booster and all.
She hesitated, blinked a few times before finally stuttering an answer. "Y-yeah it starts at eight. Uh, no, I don't leave this early. J-just wondering." Placing a hand on her forehead she leaned forward on the table and took a few deep breaths.
"Kirston? You all right?"
Another long breath and she was looking up with a smile. Her face still gave her away though. "S-sure, I'm fine. You want more coffee?"
Eclipse looked down at her mug, saw it three quarters of the way full and hid a smirk.
The drug was working.
"No, I think I'm good for now—Kirston!" The target had tried standing and nearly took her coffee with her when she stumbled. The weapon figured that she just had one huge head rush from getting up so fast and when she saw her stagger and grasping onto her chair, Eclipse knew she wasn't far off target. "Woah! Hey, sit down!"
"N-no, I'm—" She stopped and her eyes bulged, a hand slapping over her mouth. "I think I'm gonna be sick."
Eclipse wasn't going to tell her otherwise as she fled the room. After all she didn't want to be there to see it. Given she had seen a fair amount of unpredictable bodily functions over the past year, she was always touchy when it came to that particular bodily reaction.
The bathroom door slammed shut and there was only a split second before Eclipse could hear the target retching into the toilet and the sound made her gag.
When Kirston began round two, Eclipse went to the door. She sucked in a big breath before knocking. "Kirston? Are you—" Another gut-wrenching sound and Eclipse almost gagged again. Didn't think so, she thought and took a step back before the smell could get the best of her. "Do you want me to call your work? I really don't think you should go in if you're feeling like this."
The target was allowed a small break where she took some well-needed breaths before responding. "Yeah could ya? The number's on the fridge. Just tell `em that I'm sick and to have Diane take over. They'll know what I'm talking about."
"Alright." The Coordinator backed away once she started vomiting again and went into the kitchen and picked up the girl's cell phone. She saw the number on the fridge, but punched in Avalanche's number instead. Only waiting for it ring once, Eclipse started talking into the receiver. "Hi, I'm afraid that Kirston won't be able to come into work today." She waited a moment. "It's the flu, I think. She's in the bathroom right now and it doesn't sound melodious if that's why you asked `Why not`." She paused another second and waited for Avalanche's grumbling to end. He had caught onto the ruse and was in the middle of muttering how he would have just appreciated a text. "I'll let her know. Oh, she also told me to have Diane take over for her. She said you'd understand." Eclipse did one more second of acting, nodded and then said good-bye before Avalanche's mutterings could get worse.
"Kirston?" Eclipse called over to the bathroom. "They said don't worry about anything and just to get better soon. Diane'll take care of it all." She avoided the personal pronouns just in case the target knew the clerk better than the weapon thought. She didn't want to lose her cover now that she was so close.
No response.
"Kirston?" The weapon went over to the door and pushed it open a crack. Even though the smell caused her stomach to spin circles, the sight of Kirston lying on the floor was enough to block out her senses.
Was she dead?
Eclipse knew that she didn't put enough powder in the drink to kill the girl, but perhaps each person took to the drug differently. Looking at her mouth and the contents inside the toilet the bluehead saw some speckles of blood and her gut twisted again. There were really two reasons that she didn't want to kill Kirston. One was because of her admiration for the girl, but the real reason was because the three weapons would be able to hide their tracks better with her alive. If she didn't show up at work tomorrow and Eclipse wasn't there to take her place how suspicious would that look? And then to come to her house and find her dead on the floor? Just a bit strange and not to mention a huge hindrance to the bigger plan. Commander Le Creuset wouldn't be able to act without the PLANTs Supreme Council's approval and that would no doubt take time. If they found Kirston dead before ZAFT could counterattack, the mobile suits might be gone and in the hands of the Earth Forces. That's if Morgenroete suspected the worse and looking at the reason she would've died, it seemed like a pretty good assumption. Poison wasn't always a common way to kick the bucket.
The weapon bent down and checked the main artery in her neck for a pulse. A sigh of relief followed a strong beat. Kirston just passed out. Walking back to the dining table, Eclipse fished through her purse and found a small prescription bottle. She pushed down on the top, turned it to the left and looked inside. There were about eight, small, white, circular pills on the bottom. She had gotten the bottle refilled about a month ago, so that was the reason why there were so few, but she could honestly say that this was one of the last things she'd use them for.
During the first week of training she had been ordered to take the medicine before every mobile suit class and mission. The first few sessions she had forgotten to take them and only when Captain Vindur noticed and took disciplinary action did she never forget again. Eclipse wasn't too sure what they did, only that they were related to how well she faired in combat. No one else in the facility had pills like she did, so the procedure was a little curious, but she wouldn't dare argue. At first the drug made her nauseous and dizzy, but as soon as her adrenaline kicked in, she would get some kind of energy boost. It was a weird, but exhilarating feeling. Her reaction time was faster as well as her thinking and how well she thought. She gained more stamina, strength, and pain tolerance. The weapon figured that the pills were somehow triggered by that adrenaline output and the increased blood flow caused by her battle lust dispersed the drug quickly throughout her system.
But, it worked the opposite way too; at least until Eclipse's body created some kind of immunity to the side effects. If they were taken at a time of low adrenaline levels such as resting or during classes, the medicine would put its consumer to sleep and keep them asleep for quite a long time depending on the dosage. On the nights that the weapon's nightmares were the worse, she'd take a pill or two and fall into an almost comatose-like state.
At least she got some sleep.
She was hoping now that the same thing would happen with Kirston. As long as she was out for at least the next eight hours everything would be okay. Eclipse could always stop over after work and give her another pill to last throughout the night. Maybe the target would be able to go to work the next day and not make things look suspicious, but Eclipse doubted it. The drug that she gave her would probably last for two days at least and Kirston would most likely call into work the next for real this time. Hopefully, Eclipse would be gone by then, but all of that depended on how well her little plan went.
No pressure.
Walking back to the bathroom, she knelt down by the target and turned on the sink. Reaching up with a cupped hand, she gathered some water and began throwing it across her face, yelling her name each time she did. Eclipse didn't want to shake her or move her head in case she hurt something when she fainted, so water was the only option.
Funny how she was willing to have her vomit her guts out, but felt bad if she jammed a finger in her fall.
Kirston woke up about five minutes later soaked. Her eyes fluttered open slowly and Eclipse gave her the water to drink this time. She took it eagerly and only after the second glass did she start retching again. "Here, I found this in your medicine cabinet. It's should help with your upset stomach and hopefully help you sleep. You look awful and I got a little worried when you fainted so please take it. I have class at 8:30 and would feel a lot better knowing that you're resting."
"W-what is it?" Kirston asked, her voice hoarse from all the abuse. She spit into the toilet before flushing it and turning back to Eclipse.
Hopefully she'll keep it down, the weapon thought, holding out two of the pills. Kirston looked down at them and picked them up gingerly, looking at Eclipse the whole time. The soldier nodded encouragingly and offered another glass of water.
She took it.
Eclipse wasn't quite sure how Kirston could be so trusting and thinking about that now made her feel a tad guilty. She had taken advantage of the target's position at work, her kind-hearted nature, and looks in order to sneak into Morgenroete and steal information. It all seemed so cruel and for a split second she debated just forgetting the whole thing and going back to Avalanche and Chronos.
She almost quit.
Almost, but not quite.
Kirston was knocked out within 15 minutes and sleeping soundly. Eclipse managed to carry her to her bedroom and laid her down on the bed, even throwing some covers over to keep her warm. She looked through her closet, found an outfit and then left the room.
After the door was closed and everything settled, the weapon went back to the kitchen, put in her golden contacts, filtered through both purses, swapped hers for Kirston's, and then tried on the outfit. She picked out a pair of grey slacks (that were a little big, but nothing that a safety pin couldn't fix) with the same color jacket and a forest green blouse for underneath. She grabbed some black flats to finish off the outfit mainly because anything with heels wouldn't fit her feet. She didn't remember the hat until she was about to leave and shook out her hair once it was off. Fiddling with it for a moment she glanced in the microwave door, using the faint reflection to see how she looked. Looks were good but how about her acting?
Time to find out.
Off to work.
A/N: Oh surprise, surprise, another long and wordy chapter! I really hope that that they don't seem that way. I know they read like that to me 'cause I know what other exciting things are coming up and can't wait! I always think that I'll be able to make things short and just move on with the story, but it never turns out that way. For some reason my "descriptive gene" gets the best of me and I just write long paragraphs and can't stop. Obviously, I'm a huge fan of description, so I'm sorry if you're not and are reading through all of this with a scowl on your face. It really does need to be there! At least most of it I think needs to be.
Anyway, next chapter for sure will be more exciting. That at least I can guarantee. Almost to the main SEED story. Yay! Funny how it took me eleven chapters to get there. For some reason I was thinking it was only going to be about five total. Wow, was I off. Well, if you've been sitting back and relaxing in your seat for the past three chapters be prepared to scoot forward on the edge because it's going to get exciting! I think so anyway. :P
Thanks for all the people who are reviewing and just for everyone for reading. Please let me know what you think about the story. I really am excited about this one because I've never had so many ideas for a story before and can actually see how it all will fit together in the end. Okay, maybe I do for one other, but I've been having so much inspiration for this one that's it ridiculous!
See ya next chapter and I hope you enjoyed this one!
