After this chapter, there's going to be a "time jump" of about eight months. I need to wrap this puppy up soon. The next chapter probably won't be posted until after Thanksgiving. I have a paper due on the 22nd, and it's half done now. It's a third of my grade for this class, so it has to be killer.

This will get done before the end of the year. I swear it will...

Okay, so I lied...

The story got easier after the time jump. Chapter 32 was posted last night, but I was too tired to post the link. So, go take a look and let me know what you think. Comments welcome here or there.

You know the drill...LOL

Chapter 33 is now available for you guys to read. Comments, as usual, are welcome here or there.

And Chapter 34 is up as well...

Y'all know the drill... comments here or there.

Those are two totally awesome chapters, Stef. I was on edge the entire time!

You're awesome!

I'm going to try to post a new chapter or two while I'm on vacation now that my man has internet at his new house.

Chapter 35 is posted on the blog for your review.

Comments? Here or there is fine.

To quote one of my daughter's favorite shows: "I CANNOT BELIEVE IT!"- Quincy from the Little Einsteins.

Whoa, Stef, that was crazy. Julia had her baby! Sweet!

Thanks, Vikki...

She'll get her name in the next chapter, and a little drama, too. But she's going to be Julia's inspiration to end the war.

That's all any hero seems to need is a little inspiration...

Chapter 36 is up on the blog.

Comments here or there... or both.

Note: I've changed Julia's last name to reflect her marriage to Ryan.

OMG, girl! That was insane! You GO JULIA!!!

Chapter 37 is now up on the blog. Go take a look and leave comments here or there if so desired.

Chapter 38 is now posted on the blog. I think the story is just about done. Sarah Kathryn and the Committee are about to pay the piper.

Comments here or there are fine, if you're so inclined, of course.

Chapter 39 is up on the blog for your perusal. Comments here or there are fine.

This is for adult audiences. That's why I stopped posting it here at MR. This chapter especially is not for those under 18. I'm not Stephenie Meyer... I don't write for those who like sparkly vampires and are under 18.

As much as it pains me to say it, the story is finished. The last chapter and the Epilogue are now posted on the blog:

Scroll down and read chapter 40 first, then the Epilogue.

I may do a sequel some time after the first of the year. I have finals to study for now.

OMG THAT WAS MIND-BLOWING!!! I love the story, and just like Vikki's Im sad to see it end, but I am happy for you to see what you have accomplished! It has been a feat, to say the least, and I love it! I have both stories saved to favorites on my laptop, and I may start reading it all over again! thanks so much for giving me a beautiful story to read, and both stories will be read again, I love em that much! I hope you can maye even have these published, or even read by Disturbed, God that would be phenomenol! anyway, great job Stef, and thanks again for writing this!

Thanks for reading it, Penni! I'm glad you enjoyed it enough to want to read it all again.

It is an accomplishment to not only undertake such a project, but to actually finish it! I never imagined it would take seven months! Thanks for hanging in there!

As soon as I finish this post, this thread will be locked. I'm working on a sequel, and I'm three entries in. If you'd like to read it, here's the URL: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
