More please!
Medieval-Rogue 2009-10-11 . chapter 2
Two things I'd like to comment on.

First, I never, ever want to read in a story, "It was then that she realized she loved him." I want you to show me through character interaction, because if I want to be told that someone's in love, I'll ask a friend. If I want you to draw me in with it and feel with the characters, you need to trust me as a reader and try to just show it with technique - scene, dialogue, and actions.

Second, you don't really earn the suspense in this chapter because of one thing, at least: the demon that tries to choke and then bite Ellya. I've learned in martial arts that if someone puts you into a choke, you have about 5 seconds before you pass out. Worse can happen if they do anything to your airway, like attack your windpipe, which is really easily crushed or pressured. That's for HUMANS vs. HUMANS. Your scene features DEMONS. The way you describe the scene makes me believe that Ellya is being choked and then snapped at by the demon in a matter longer than 5 seconds. Longer than 2 seconds. Have you seen Jurassic Park? Have you seen the way those velociraptors tear into things? Their name means "swift-seizer". If you're going to give Ellya the fear that her soul could be lost to this thing when it eats her, you're creating a pretty powerful demon. If you also want that demon to be subhumanly slow at killing and soul-sucking, then you need to have the best reason in the world and it needs to come before the suspense, to build it up realistically, not after.

I hope this helps you and encourages rather than discourages you.

this chapter was much happier thank you but still a bit sad at the end and I can't help but think that I would have done the same thing if I were in her shoes *sigh* but you are definitely a great author so thank you for sharing your stories with a lowly girl who can't write stories to save her life.
