So I'm here with dried tears that are from both sad and happy moments at 12:30 am because I couldn't stop reading once I started earlier in the evening. I rather enjoyed reading this. It was entertaining and lovely. Thank you for the nice read, dear author. I wish you luck with future writings!

Aaaaagh!
I finished this story in just a few hours, and, honestly, I can't put my current feelings into words. The end had me almost screaming, and the whole thing was so easy to read. I loved how it seemed to flow so perfectly, and even when i didn't completely like what was going on, it fit so perfectly that I really couldn't complain! Excellent job!

The story was beautifully written. You really have a talent with words and the flow of conversation which I myself have some trouble with, was impeccable so I appreciate it even more. At a few points during the story I felt that the story was somewhat familiar with 'The Beauty and the Beast' which made me love it even more :)

Anyway well done- I couldn't put it down and finished the story in about 24 hours haha

love

Shana

loved it!

Silent-I really hated to see this story end-IT WAS FABULOUS! I LOVED IT! How interesting how this came to be-what an experience you must have had! I am glad you ran with it though BECAUSE it turned into ONE HELL OF A STORY! THANK YOU for such an INTRIGUING, WONDERFUL STORY that touched me BEYOND COMPARE!

I was transported back 8 years ago with this chapter and to the death of my dad-though I was 16 hrs away when we found out so I didn't watch his last breath but the feelings were very similar to Alice's! I still feel guilty for not getting up there to see him sooner. This was done in a very very respectful manner and tactfully done! Silent this was AMAZINGly done! You are an EXCEPTIONAL WRITER!

BAWLED-LIKE A BABY-I can't believe she died and that Fred had something to do with it! I hope you are going to write later that it actually wasn't the potion he gave her that made her ill and caused her death! OH MY GOD MY HEART IS BREAKING HERE!

This chapter was ABSOLUTE POETRY Silent-it brought tears to my heart and soul! I felt all the EMOTION you put into this one PERFECT chapter. I have ALWAYS LOVED this song and it has always brought tears to my eyes and a lump in my throat. BY FAR ONE OF MY MOST FAVORITE chapters so far-KUDDOS my Friend!

OMG OMG OMG-I AM ABOUT TO DIE! I SOOOOOOO was not EXPECTING THIS but should have! DAMN DAMN DAMN-this was the ABSOLUTE MOST SPECTACULAR CHAPTER!

OK Silent-you THREW a curve ball at me! I was actually thinking and wondering if he was a vampire-NO HE ISN'T! NOW I am CURIOUS at who and why he agreed to this? I wonder if this is something like Beauty and the Beast though different. Again you have the INTRIGUE and SUSPENSE flitting in and out of my mind and it is EXCITING! VERY EXCEPTIONAL!

This is very really getting more and more INTERESTING here Silent-I am REALLY ENJOYING this story IMMENSELY! NEED MORE SO ON TO THE NEXT CHAPTER!

WOW-SURPRISE SURPRISE-this is beginning to turn into quite an INTRIGUING story. I wish I could say it was a TOTAL SURPRISE but there was just a little niggling at the back of my mind that maybe but I wasn't even remotely expecting me to be right. I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE this story and want to know more what the book has to say and everything-you are AMAZINGLY BRILLIANT my dear Silent! I am soooooooooo HAPPY I found this story!

OH MY DEAR-I had an inkling that Fred may have feelings for Alice but WOW what a way to write it. And Jennifer-there is something REALLY MAJOR going on that is KILLING ME FOR WONT OF KNOWING WHAT! The INTENSITY and the SUSPENSE IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT and your writing BEYOND EXCEPTIONAL!

*GRINNING LIKE CHESCHIRE CAT* AND *FANNIN MYSELF*-VERY GOOD!

OMG I did not see anything like this happening Silent-it made me smile (the last portion with the thief). You have really got my curiosity built to overflowing about Darien, the warning from Lydia, etc-EXCELLENT WRITING AND EXCELLENT STORY HERE!
