Hahahahahahahahaha, thanks Vin. Your words always mean so much more to me than you know. Hahahahahahahahaha, only one more chapter to go, then I get to write the one I've been waiting months to begin! (You'll love it. )

it is very good please write more!

Fantastic White! I am quite intrigued about what is going to happen now. I had a notion that the humans he teamed up with would make some progress and in some way be a major support and now their practically....well you know, and his friend, wow. I think it is quite interesting at how you keep throwing your character into these difficult situations, it really does make for an excellent read.

Hahahahahahaha, thanks both of you! Yeah, killing off Leon was kind of difficult, but it was also always my plan in writing him into the story. Partially it shows progression with Peter, and how he now comes to grips with the sense of loss, but also Leon represents Peter's old life, the world which has left him behind. His dying, is sort of like that old world which Peter has so many connections to, dying as well.

when is the next segment out?

No longer! The next installment is complete. I hope you all enjoy! This definitely was one of the longest, but most enjoyable to write and will begin a very, very excitement series in the tale which will continue into Volume III!

nice keep it coming

Hahahahahahaha, finally.

It's been great! How about you?

Hahahahahahaha, thanks Vin! I'm glad that you enjoyed it! Hahahahahahahaha, I'm always trying to think of things that I could picture you saying. I find that your character's speech really is a combination of your own with a little bit of Holmes from time to time. As for using the local language and legend and everything, I'm glad that you thought that was good, that's actually a big part of what I'm trying to do in expanding the setting of the story.

Hahahahahahahahahaha, I was worried there might be some considering the long period of time over which I wrote this particular chapter. I can understand what you mean with your character... it was my idea though that while all of the action is taking place with Peter and the Chupacabra, your character was slowly making his way over to Diego. As for the second, do you mean a reaction by your character and such? If my memory serves me, that was revealed to them in the previous chapter when Vin handed Peter that gem in his tent.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, I have a feeling that you will either really like what comes next... or really hate it.

Oh wait, wait... was your impression that he was actually physically frozen? I mean, like he couldn't move? If so, I might actually need to address that, as my intention was more along the lines that he was standing still lost in thought about what he had seen, not actually paralyzed from it.

Hahahahahahahaha, to save you some time (Chapter 7 is really long), here's the excerpt:

His suspicions relieved, Peter reaches out and grabs the jewel, laying it flat upon his right palm. To his astonishment, the gem does not turn a dark blue, but rather a fiery red!
     
       "What does that mean?!" Peter asks immediately.
     
       "Hmmm... now that is interesting..." Vin says calmly, taking a step back.
     
       Peter can sense that something is wrong.
     
       "What?"
     
       Backing all the way to the rear of the tent, Vin softly answers, "The ruby only ever turns red if it is in the presence of one not of us..."
     
       Apprehension floods Peter's thoughts, and he fumbles around in his mind with how to explain himself.
     
       "You're not one of us!" Vin, to Peter's shock, suddenly shouts, alarming the other members of the camp.
     
       Several others rushing into the foyer, he continues loudly, "What'd you do; slowly pick off your regiment???! Did you kill them one by one?! Oh! I should have seen it all along! The facts did not add up! Tell me, for your own sake, what are you?! What are you doing here?!"
     
       Peter tries frantically to calm his new acquaintance down, trying to get a word in edgewise all the while defending himself, "No, no! It's not what you think- It's not what you think at all! I didn't kill anybody- No, no, let me just explain- No, I'll tell you, just- QUIET!!!!" he finally screams and the interior drops into silence.
     
       "Now, if you'll just let me explain..." Peter looks questioningly at Vin, who nods slightly, "First off, I am a werewolf. (Someone in the crowd gasps.) But I have done no one harm! I was found near death by some members of the regiment a couple of months ago enroute to the big city where I thought help might be. When they discovered what I was, they nearly executed me, but only because of Leon I was saved. When he approached me about joining them on their campaign against the vampires, I joined and fought side by side with them. After we were routed, the other survivors and myself returned here where we've hunkered down ever since. I swear, it's the honest truth, you can ask any of my fellow companions!"
     
       Vin eyes the ruby, which in the process of Peter's defense has turned a neutral white while still in his hand. In a symbolic act of trust, Vin steps forward and places his hand upon Peter's left shoulder.
     
       "I believe you."



Thanks a lot Vin! Hahahahahahahahaha, I want to tell you so bad what's coming up next... but I guess it'll have to wait. And I know who the illustrator will be.

Hahahahahahaha, well thanks for that suggestion. I think I might take another look at that and try and smooth it out a bit, perhaps add a word or two here and there.

Hahahahahaha, as always, thanks for the advice. I really do appreciate it, because I do make quite a few mistakes and I want it to be the very best it can be... especially if I ever do decide to have it published or anything.

more !!!!!!!!! please
