Thank-you EVERYONE for reading Wounded. though, looking back at the story now, a more fitting name would have to be Stained or Broken.

However, I had more fun writing this than it's sequel, to be honest. However, this story had many times in which it was going to be shelved. So much had made it delay.

From spelling complains, to falsely accusing of being a Yaoi story, to even having the ending chance.

Plus, the story's year had ACTUALLY changed, too. Originally, it was 5 years (as many of you know), however many people brought it up (and later, I felt as though) it just didn't seem to fit right. I changed the story to two years, as I felt it was MUCH more understandable.

And, with the ending, Ivo was ACTUALLY going to die. In chapter 8, he was going to stab himself in the gut, and not just cut his mustache off and enclose the blade in his hand. Chapter 9 was going to have Ivo pleading Sonic not to follow his footsteps while he was rushed to the hospital.
It would have ended on Chapter 10, about 10 or 15 years later. Sonic having kids, naming one of them Ivo after him. However, he mentions to a spiritual Ivo how he was happy he stayed a few years later, hinting that Ivo didn't die from suicide.

But while typing the ending, my Guinea Pig, Pepper, passed away. (Most likely WHILE I was typing Ivo's death) So, I took it as a sign and chose to change the story, I feel for a MUCH better result. So if you liked chapter's 9 through 13, you must thank Pepper for that.

I might continue the story, or keep it at this, as I do not wish to actually reveal who Sonic was talking about at the ending of Chapter 13. But I want to enlarge the...very bluntly hinted romance Ivo was getting with Ella, as I personally adore the pairing.

But, for now, I might drop into another side of the Sonic universe. Out of Sonic X, at the very least. I have a nice chunk of ideas I haven't even elaborated on.
And a crossover. A most likely overdone crossover. Of monsters inside pocket sized balls.

But until then, thank-you VERY much for reading both Forsaken and Wounded. It took MUCH longer than I wished, but I am quite happy of how it finally came out.
