I do hope you start getting more reviews =D

The only advice I have is you don't have to say what she does in every class.
Maybe just cut it down a bit, but I understand that each chapter is in different parts so thats cool =P

Great chap!

I hope Ana gets Matt's attention =)

Oh man I wouldn't be able to walk around with all the crap! She has to be strong and smart to get the tent!

Haha I hope she see's Adian soon!

How do you pronounce Adian?

Good chap!

I'm glad it wasn't werewolves, not that I don't like werewolves if there are any in this story ;), but it's good to just get away from it sometimes =)

The least Adian could do is help her to her home! XD She's probably lost now...

I can guess what happens.
The guy she kissed is a vampire, the panther thing is really some human shifter, and the guy at the end is either evil, her best friend, or an evil best friend in disguise.

But, instead of criticizing you about how predictable this chapter is, I'm going to give you some advise.

You might actually have a good story line going on here. And if you're wise enough, you'll finish it. But what I want to say before you get too into the whole writing thing is; try to be unique.

I've read each and every single one of those Twilight books. And trust me, in the beginning (about a year or two ago, before the 4th book came out) I was just as fan-girl as the girls you see in school today . I know a fan's work when I see one. It's the ones with the handsome men with "honey" colored eyes. Or the ones that are really cliche that usually have "vampire" in the title or synopsis. And to be honest, it's really annoying. It's really very old, too. Some fans just need to know when to give up.

But, if it turns out that I'm wrong and you've only heard/seen the movie or something like that, good for you :)You actually "sort of" came up with something on your own. And that's exactly what I'm trying to get you to do.

After I read the Twilight books, I was inspired to read more (not that I wasn't already a big fan of books beforehand...). So, while reading, I chose more books about vampires. I was interested in what they actually were, or what the people of today thought them to be. So I found the book "Dracula". It's really a good read. You can find it at your nearest book store, but that's not the point. I just want you to compare every other form of vampirism out there. Look up some theories online. The internet is a wonderful source for information. And when you're done with all of this, try to come up with some ideas of your own. Don't go with the old topaz eyes and glowing complexion. Try to mix it up a bit. Be creative. Make a vampire that, once they're sired, they can't even remember their past (not like Alice, but all of them). Make one with purple eyes, or white eyes, or no eyes at all. You're a good writer, and I'm not just saying that. I'm sure you have wonderful ideas, too. Everybody at least has one. But you should defiantly try your best. Be unique, and remember that there's power with knowledge. The more you know, the more you're sure you'll succeed.

Good luck Crimson Ara. And a hint for the wise: most authors usually end up writing their novel over again at least five times. Trust me, I'm working on my 6th. And another one, too: you may have a cool idea for your story, and all of these awesome features, but you may not be able to fit them all into one book. It's one of the things Stephanie Meyer succeeded at, but failed because she gave simply too much information. Sometimes you just have to let things slip. The editors might just have you take it out later anyways, if it turns out that it isn't too important.
