Reviews for You Said Forever

"Amabelle!" Aisling Ryder yelled for her most trusted friend; Aisling found herself running through; "I need you to help me! Please!" gasp Aisling; "What is it, dear?" asks Amabelle. ~~First: double space between PARAGRAPHS, not between lines. Second: 'yelled' and 'found' are past tense and 'asks' is present tense. Whether you are writing this in present or past tense, be consistent. Third: 'gasp' is present tense for first and third persons, not anything for third person. 'To gasp' is congugated in the present like this: I gasp, you gasp, SHE GASPS, and so forth.

Aisling lowers down into the ground, where the dirt parted. The dirt starts to crawl back over and fill in the hole it just created. The ground is back in place as if nothing happened. Aisling's body is no where to be seen. ~~'Aisling lowers'. This describes an action BY Aisling. She, however, is dead and incapable of action. Try a passive voice: Aisling IS LOWERED into the ground; there are problems with this construction, but at least you do not have the inert body acting. You could switch verbs: Aisling SINKS into the ground. Also, it's nowhere, one word.

'Amabelle walks in between some trees' ~~'some' is a lazy or inattentive writer's word. These are part of the forest you mention in the first paragraphs, right? ~~Amabelle walks into the forest (or 'through the forest') ~~Remember where your characters are, and make sure the reader knows.

Why does Amabelle send Aisling out of the world? She wants Lilian, she has already killed A's husband and so forth. Lilian escapes Amabelle, and must now be pursued. Why does Amabelle assume A will return? Why DOES A return? To me it seems much more likely A would not come back to danger and sorrow. Everyone's actions MAY be necessary for the story, but the actions themselves seem highly improbable.
