14. Very Important Author's Note:PLEASE READ

Author's Note: PLEASE READ.

First off let me apologize for it being so long since I last updated this story. I know that it has been a bad habit of mine to start stories and not update one finish them. Some life things came up in which I had to attend to, then I got off track with the updating. I actually started working on my next update for this story a while back. Yet, just didn't get around to working on finishing the update. So again sorry for not updating in a while.

But, I'm planning on working on the update somewhere within the next two to three weeks. So, I figure that an update when be posted within the next month or so, depending on how long it takes me to complete the next chapter to this story. However, before I post the next update I wanted to do this author's note on some important things I need to address. Just so you won't be caught off guard or confused.

Since I am planning to update soon and haven't update in a while. I reread my story to get an idea of where I am at. Along with the fact that on hiatus I have thought up and come up with new ideas, ones that I didn't have at the time of writing this story and some of this chapters for it.

So, there are some tweaks and adjustments that I am making to this story. I guess you could call them slight rewrites even though they won't change the major path and plot of the story. Some changes I have made is thinking up a name for the Militia the group group started by Alaric and who Damon used to be a part of.

The name of them will be "The New Dawn" so from now on when you see the term "The New Dawn" in this story it is referring to the militia. Reading back I realized also that there was a plot hole in when I wrote about the night that Damon escaped the camp base of The New Dawn and ran away. This plot hole has been nagging at me and I haven't addressed it yet. But, will in future updates of this story.

Another thing I want to adjust is the amount of time that Bamon have been together in this story, along with how long they have been on this road trip. Before I wrote that they had been involved with each other for about ten months. But, I miscalculated that time since in my mind they very first met back in Arizona in late spring during the month of May. And currently in the last update they are now in fall and it is mid October. So this means that they have known each other and have been on this road trip for six months. Therefore have traveled across four states in six months. Still it is a good amount of time for them to grow a strong bond/relationship with each other under the circumstances of this story. And I thought that having Bamon meet on May the 10th would be a special little touch to add to this story. Since May 10th is a special Bamon day on the show. Only in this story they met on May 10th 2047. As the apocalypse started in 2017 and this story takes place 30 years after that.

I'm also tweaking how Damon discovered the community and settlement that he and Bonnie are trying to reach in Virginia. Instead of finding out about the place with a letter. I'm going to tweak it to him finding out about it through a recording on a walkman, along with the map to the settlement. I'll write in the exact words and details of what the recording said in upcoming chapters and updates. As well as add a few more details to the story surrounding Damon's discovery about the settlement.

I decided to name this settlement and the name for this settlement will be "Anex". So from now on when you see the name "Anex" in this story it is about the community that Damon and Bonnie are trying to get to.

As I said these changes won't really change the direction of the central and most important plot and direction of this story. So, I didn't want to rewrite the whole thing and just figured I would make some tweaks. Because I really wouldn't be content with updating until I tweaked a few things. These are the adjustments that I have thought off of the top of my head. And wanted all those who have followed this story so more to read this important author's note.

I wrote this story in the first place because I am a fan of apocalyptic movies, tv shows, and video games. And I wanted to do the genre with a Bamon story! The recent release of How It Ends with Kat Graham worked up my muse and inspired me to start working on this story again. Kat's chemistry with Theo was off of the hook. And I really loved Will and Sam together.

But, I will always be a Bamon fan at heart which is why I have done a few Bamon themed stories! I hope you all have enjoyed your days since I last updated. And the next chapter I hope that you all have a wonderful time. Thanks to those who decide to still read and support this story!
