abuseOh yes, this was very good. I liked it too.

Believe it or not, this chapter was somewhat different than all the rest in that I was almost feeling compassion for Belinda. Almost. She just came across as a tad less creepy than normal.

But I'm sure that won't last. She's still Belinda, after all.

Till next time...

abuseWoah. This chapter is heavy! I really like how you're making me think as I'm reading about things in my own life. (aka: Who my hero is and why this time.) I really enjoy your stories and can't wait for more. Keep on writing Yva. I'm here to read.

*winks*

abuseSo...

Belinda's creepiness is finally beginning to catch up to her. That's so good right now!

But at the same time, she's starting to put two and two together about seeing the glass elevator, which isn't so good. Oh boy.

Whatsa gonna happin next? Hmm...

abuseO... I hate that Belinda... but she is a very good character for a story! lol, know what I mean?

Anyway, don't worry about the delay in chapters. I understand completely how it is to have a personal life and a FF life, and Personal comes before FF. Take your time, and don't worry about us readers. I know that I'll be around for it no matter how far away the chapter is. Two weeks, three months, four years, I'll be here. :D

abuseOh, I did like this chapter. Belinda is such a jerk. And just plain scary. I was so afraid she was gonna suddenly remember who Meagan was and get all creepy or violent or something. Yikes.

And speaking of Meagan, I really like her character. I know I've said it before, but I do. I love her personality and how she can deal with Creepy Insane Scary Woman, even if she does freak her out. Understandably. Very awesome. I'm glad you've included her in this tale of yours.

And Bill. I love the way you've expended his personality so much in this story. I wish he could have had a bigger role in the movie now, just cause I like your portrayal of him so much. And I think it's very good for Willy to have him for a friend. And probably the other way around too.

Anyway, like I've said before, I love this story. You're doing great and I hope to read the next two chapters very soon!

abuseAlright, I'm back again. Slowly catching up, yay!

Another good chapter, some nice fluffy stuff with Willy and Tamara for a while. But then it got tense and messy and ugh... I just felt sick inside for both of them. Ouch.

But then they went to that stream and everything got all good again. And the factory is her home right now! Sigh. Just lovely.

Onto the next chapter!

abuseGood gosh, you had my heart pounding during the scene with Belinda! Never mind the fact that it's dark and the middle of the night here, that scene was just brilliant. Belinda so creeps me out. Geez...

Of course, Willy handled everything fine and I was really proud of Meagan for her part. I would've been literally shaking in my shoes and completely useless. So good for her!

I think of of my favorite lines was this one here:

Belinda’s scowl did not vanish, in fact, she still looked as annoyed as ever. “You are totally clueless about candy, aren’t you?”

Hahaha, that line totally cracked me up. She's a doofus too. ;-)

Anyhow, fantastic job! Moving on to the next chapter! I'm finally almost caught up!

abuseAww, I liked the whole Billy and Willy thing. Very sweet. They do sorta seem like brothers...

::sigh of relief:: I am so glad Neil is being put away. But we still have to deal with Belinda and she may be even more frightening, simply cause she is a few french fries short of a Happy Meal. Yikes.

One thing though in the line below that looks liked it might need editing:

“You can contact her through my candy shop,” Bill said. The number there is on my statement.

I think the last part about his number on the statement needs quotation marks around it. Other than that, all groovy.

Chapter is a bit short, so I don't know what else to say beyond the fact that I love this story! And plus I'm scared for Willy inside the shop with with Belinda! So I hope you'll forgive me if I move on quickly now and go read the next chapter! ;-)

abuseGosh, reading all of these in one day, I'm really running out of things to tell you. Each chapter is great and I've been thoroughly enjoying every one.

The part where they go into Tamara's room and see the mess it is in... that was really sad. But I am glad they were able to get her most important possessions that were thankfully locked away.

So Bill does karate... didn't see that one coming! Good for him! He totally took out the big stupid strong nincompoop! Go Bill! You rock!

Okay, enough cheering. You get the idea by now. Great chapter, just like every time! ;-)

abuseOh man! Is this what I've been missing all this time? I've been missing out on some exciting stuff! Scary, but great! Neil may be have a brain half the size of a pea, but he's strong. And mean. Boy, is he mean...

I'm really glad I've gotten back to reading this, and I have to say, this is anything but boring. It really is an awesome story. At first I was kinda like "Um, where's Bill?", but then it sorta downed on me that this is really Tamara's battle and Bill should only step in if she really, really needs it. Because until she stands up for herself and gets rid of Neil on her own, he'll always be a threat. Jerk...

Anyway, this is definitely a cliffhanger and I feel sorry for all those who had to endure your cruelty! Lucky for me, I can just move right on. ;-)

With that said, moving on...

abuseYva,

That was the most plantive cry for review I've ever read. Then you pair it with a humdinger of a chapter! You are cruel woman to keep us dangling like that!

I find the restrained passion much more satisfying that the whole "Love ya babe!" followed by a romp in the sack. I too fell in love with my husband in short order (we dated a month, then got engaged - I followed him across country and we got married 9 months later).

Now get cracking on both this story and In Another's Eyes or I'll fly my big butt to Germany, duct tape you to the chair in front of the computer, put Willy Wonka on in the background and feed you chocolate until you produce the next installment.

Please keep up the superb writing!

abuseAs usual, another awesome chapter. ;-)

I was glad to see Meagan make an appearance again. I had nearly forgotten about her. It was sad that she was so frightened and it made me ticked at Belinda even more for that. But I was very glad that Willy was able to be there for her and talk to her. I'm looking forward to seeing what other part she will play into this whole story.

Now, off to read the next chapter and see what is going on with Bill and Tamara!

abuseOh wow, that's just great... I really loved this whole chapter. I was on pins and needles at first because I was worried Neil would run into Willy and Tamara in the store. But thankfully that didn't happen.

And Neil makes me laugh, he's such a dope. First favorite line of the chapter, spoken by Neil:

"That’s not any of your business, pansy boy,"

Secondly:

Neil initially said nothing, but eventually spit out the first thought that came to his mind. “Breast cancer.”

Hahahaha! Those lines were just great. The breast cancer line was written so perfectly. Hilarious.

This whole thing is great and I'm looking forward to seeing the switch of Willy and Bill. Sounds fun!

abuseOh my gosh! Not good, not good at all! I don't mean your writing, your writing is terrific. But Neil and Willy and Tamara are going to the same place! Gah...

I'm glad I'm getting back into this. It's about time, I'm such a procrastinator...

Belinda is completely whacked. That's obvious. And Neil does seem like an idiot. This duo should be entertaining. And scary.

I'm dying to find out what happens next, but gotta do some laundry first. Be back soon! ;-)
