Acknowledgements

I think that whenever I write this section, it'll always be the only time when I can get away with rambling. So…*cue evil laughter* let's get down to business. This story couldn't have been possible without the help and support of all these people. And I would like to thank them all, now;

Freida Right, the one person I can count on for both a review of each chapter and tips on how to improve my ability. I don't know what I'd do without her.

AngelPik, my newest watcher on deviantART and a newcomer to FanFiction. Net. I'm glad you like this story as much as you claim you do, Angel. And welcome aboard!

Barn Owl Girl and 5x10 Love, two of my reviewers on FanFiction. Net.

My family, though I hope and pray they didn't read this story. I could never replace them (except for my sister), no matter how much they irritate me. Plus, they didn't commit me for being obsessed with this story (thanks for that, guys).

Shane Acker and Tim Burton, the creators of the movie "9". Their wonderful, creative film was the inspiration for both "Soulbound" and "Prey" so without it, neither of them would've come about.

And, most of all, I would like to thank everyone out there that either watches me on deviantART or that reviewed this story at least once.

Finally, I would like to end this by saying that I do not own "9" or the characters in it, nor did I take part in the creation of either in any way. Likewise, all pop culture references and their sources all belong to their respective owners. So, I don't own or claim ownership of anything but the OCs and the story itself.

And that's the end of "Prey", which I hope you all enjoyed. I'll be back real soon with the first chapter of "The Tribe". But, until then, this is Demon Llama Nerd signing off.
