Do you plan on finishing this sometime? I'm curious how it'll turn out. Please do!

welcome back nice chapter. HMM?? Waiting for more enlightenment on this scene. I'm patient and my pens are al ready.

You're welcome. After all this time.
Nevertheless you wrote once again a very dark plot (drip drip drip - his own blood), tortured. And now there comes some light as illusions and will give him hope and strength (?). Perhaps. It's so sad what he has to endure. Until hopefully soon.

Hi Mercedes Aria,

Happy to see another chapter from your story and looking forward to the next.

Mercy

Yea, another chapter! You're right, I did give up on ever seeing more of this wonderful story; I'm glad to see you did not.

Hope student teaching goes well. I can be a maddening though worthwhile experience. Guess this means that this time next year you'll be ending you first semester as a "real" teacher!

I can't begin to express how happy this update made me. I was afraid you'd forgotten about this story. I guess some stories you just get addicted to and you can't wait for the next update to be posted. Hehe, I was just checking my e-mail for the sake of it, when I saw the e-mail, and I couldn't stop smiling. Thank you for updating. I know writers block can be a pain, but hopefully you'll get over it =)

Poor Lyle, he's really far gone this time. He has to be when he start dreaming/hallucinating about his mother, and when he even would care to have Jarod keeping him company.

I'm looking forward to the next chapter. I really hope we'll see Lyle and Mia back together soon, even though I don't think Lyle is going to come out of this with his health still intact.

Melpomene sure got a Nikita esque test there ;)

>"Lyle regarded her with uncertainty. He had intended to take her to the Cabins O’ Love to renew her loyalty to him, however, after finding her burning his belongings, he assumed the trip was off."

*snickers silently*
I really like the fair Mia and her impact on Lyle. She's in a way the best and also worst thing to have happened to Lyle. All he wanted was her to be free of The Centre's clutches...

Adama means trouble, that's for certain.

I lost track but now I'm back and will try to follow your story again.

Reading your last part I learned I have to read the whole thing once more and the newer parts first. Nevertheless I review that I never changed my mind that I hate Adama, Parker, Cox and everyone who plots to treat people like projects.

I hope Lyle will rescue himself and not become a victim.

Hi Mercedes,

Glad to see another chapter from you. No matter how short. Sounds like Lyle's survival is in doubt.
Looking forward to your next chapter.

Mercy

So you're back! I think we're all looking forward to the end of the semester with you! Shame on daddy Parker. At least he has at least an iota of feeling for his daughter. Amazingly, Parker seems to have zero feeling for the son his brother stole from him, yet he continues to be a coconspiritor with that same brother. Ah, family! Naturally, I'm looking forward to the next installment.

can i have a pen so i can stab Adama in the eye. and isn't he like on the wrong show? This is so not Battlestar Galactica.

Anyway, I hope (gasp) Lyle does actually prove the victor in this game of cat and mouse he's being roped into. And I think I need another pen for Mr. Parker, too. Isn't he dead already? If not then we need to kill him off.

Hi Mercedes,

Great chapter and very vivid description of Mia's nightmares. Looks like Mia is getting close to discovering another of Lyle's dark secret. Please continue soon even if it is another short chapter. I'm still reading, but had some problems reviewing your story. The site kept rejecting my reviews. Some problem with the number of the chapters.
Mercy

Excellent as always. I haven't been really good about leaving reviews lately but, trust me, I have been reading! You always manage to leave me wanting more. For instance - the crying Mia is searching for. Sounds like -maybe- she needs to check the back of the closets ;-P

Thanks for another great read!

Oh, I'm definitively going to keep on reading :) I kind of feel love with this story when I started reading it. It's so different from the other Pretender stories. I got to admit that most authors who pull OC into their story normally ends up ruining the story, but you have only made it better :) Your Amelia is amazing. She just fits into the Pretender universe perfectly, like she belongs there. And the relationship between her and Lyle is very well written :) It was a bit short, though :( but like you said. Real life has a tendency to take up time. I hope you'll update this story soon. I'm really looking forward to the next chapter :)

MORE! Well written piece with enough mystery to make me wonder...what happend to Lyle?, where's Jarod?, what did Amelia read? and more importantly what happened to her? PLEASE don't let us wait too long for the rest. I need to know what is going to happen next. Well done. ;-)
