THAT WAS AWSOME!!!

YOUR BACK!!! Can't wait for the next update...

Congrats Dr., Love the story it,s definately worth the wait....

I love your Bella!!! I agree with the Mr. Rogers observation...definately creepy...

I saved this story as a favorite long ago thinking it looked interesting, but I just got around to reading it last night...I COULD,NT STOP...So, thanks for getting me hooked on a unique and very well written story...No sleep was totally worth it...Can't wait for the next update. 

Wow! This story just gets better and better. This is easily one of the best fics out there. Can't wait to see where you take this....

PLEASE...Don't let it end here!!! PLEASE...Bring Bella back strong, and pissed off, ready for vengence...And PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE don't let Edward really be dead. WOW!!! Ok, now I'm going to calm down and wait patiently for your next update.

I was so happy to see this update today! Despite the fact that Bella let Ero fuck her. That was almost painful to read by the way! But, like a car accident I couldn't look away... GOD I HATE THAT CREEPY FUCKER! As usual, it was still a great chapter. After that fuckery I think our girl deserves a HEA...and probably extensive therapy.

Love it! I can't wait to see where you take this...

Best chapter so far...I'm so glad you were brave enough to let Edward duke it out with Kate...Bitch wants to throw a punch like a man she outa ecpect to get one back....I love this fic.

Amazing as usual! This just keeps getting better... Can't wait for the update!

Thank you for the update... loved it as usual...can't wait for the next one...

I love this fic...It's different than anything else I've come across...and that's saying something (I have a serious fanfic addiction)

More,more,more....Please!!!

Awsome!!! I love this story...and I was so happy to get an update...can't wait for more.

It's not hard to believe that Eric feels the way he does about God...being emersed in evil at such a young age. I'm sure he prayed for someone to save him and it's pretty obvious no one did. He's barely hanging on to what little sanity he has left. And although Anton is testing his patience...he doesn't want to kill him because it would crush Alcede. And I suspect it would hurt him too because he's on the very short list of people Eric cares about. I like the direction your taking Anton's character (so sad!!!) Again...I can't wait to see where you take this next...you've kept me on my toes so far... and I appreciate the thought that goes into making these characters and their interactions with each other so complex. Another amazing chapter...

Ok!!! It's been crazy busy today... so, I'm just going to write one review for the previous chapter and this one. Loved how you used the puzzle...Sookie's transformation has been like assembling one. They kidnapped a normal seventeen year old girl, tore her down (literally and figuratively), and then reassembled her. And when they were done she was just like the figures in the finished puzzle...empty and dead... I like that she's still asking questions though...For some fucked up reason I had a feeling Miguel was Alcede's uncle... He and Anton didn't have a chance... I can't help but feel that this volitile situation is about to implode. Three very unstable guys all in love with the same girl... and in some cases each other...they aren't used to these feelings, they don't understand them or how to deal with them...it's a recipe for disaster!!! I'm really enjoying this story... psychoanalysis is fun!!! so keep the chapters coming...and don't worry about it if you don't reply to every review...I don't expect it...I just think you deserve the feedback...

It's interesting that Anton takes part in multitudes of depraved acts, but he draws the line at forcing Sookie to have sex with him...I wonder if it has more to do with love or his manipulation of her? And Sookie needs to quit talking about Brandon when Anton is around or she's going to get him killed (or worse). I never thought I'd say this about suicide... But, I'm happy for Stellen...thanks for another awesome chapter...

Wow!!! Anton is a real piece of work. It's like business as usual to kill someone with his bare hands...and then chop them up with an electric saw. Which I might add, he had with him on a trip to Disney World...just in case he needed to dispose of a body. It makes me wonder just how many people he kills on a regular basis. Thanks for another wonderful and disturbing chapter. I can't wait for the next.

I feel bad for saying it...But, I'm glad you didn't let Sookie escape...It just wouldn't have been realistic...I just hope you let her get a little bit of pay back before they kill her...or they all kill each other... No matter where you choose to take this story... I know it will end the way it should... I trust you...so keep writing...and know that your talent is appreciated.

Author's Response:

So sorry I didn't respond sooner to this! I'm glad too, this story is all about realism. Perhaps she will, I  don't know. Thank you for that trust I appreciate it. I hope I am worthy of it, thank you for this very thoughtful review too.

You mention writing this story for yourself...GOOD!!! THIS IS YOUR BABY!!! You know, there are a lot of great "cookie cutter" stories out there that are very enjoyable to read. I follow several of them. But personally.the stories that really stick with me are the ones that shake me up a little...by shocking me, or scaring me, or breaking my heart...I don't want to dictate the course a great story takes. I want to be surprised!!! I want to feel something!!! Even if its disgust or outrage...So, keep doing what your doing...I know I'm enjoying the ride...

Author's Response:

Ha! You are by far one of my favorite reviewers for this story. I don't read cookie cutter stuff, sadly I am unable for the most part to read anything that isn't sickening. I'm pleased that you don't want to do that, sometimes people try too. Love your reviews and I will post another chapter soon! Thanks.

Miguel taught Eric and Alcide well...the evil fucker...they've brutalized her to the point that they have essentially destroyed Sookie's sense of self. It seems she's already started to accept her horrific treatment as her new reality. And to finish off her mind fuck...they're showing her small acts of kindness to confuse the hell out of her...It's brainwashing 101...You know, you really are doing a kick ass job on this story. You could have gone the easy route and just wrote a lot of gratuitous lemon's and left it at that. But, the way you've developed these characters...and used such graphic imagery to detail Sookie's abuse and subsequent psychological damage has made this so much more...you should be proud of yourself...

Understatement of the century: Eric's psychotic ass is scary!!! By threatening her with the death of her family, he attempted to take away any chance she would try to escape...I'm not sure she's completely given up yet though. I was surprised Anton let Sookie get another glimpse of who he really is in this chapter...I loved it though...there's something extra disturbing about devils disquised as angels...know what I mean? We expect our bad guys to look the part...and when they don't it throws us. And then you give them qualities that make us care about them lol!!! Seriously though...This story is so good...

This chapter really gave us a lot to think about...Sookie is falling in love with Anton...and she's even starting to look at her captors as her new family...she's accepted that her situation is helpless, so she's starting to embrace it. In some ways she's becoming like them. Like, not really caring about who or why Alcede killed someone... In the previous chapter she layed on the bed that they murdered Darla in and snuggled with Anton afterwards. More subtly, making fun of tourists with Anton at Disney world. Then they all have a magical time in the park with their 17 year old sex slave like they're a regular family on vacation (SUPER CREEPY). I think the fact that you chose Disney World was brilliant. I mean what comes to mind when most people think about The Magic Kingdom? Wholesome family fun right! This is anything but that...But Sookie still thanks them for giving her this despite the fact that they've taken away everything else. I also think it was important to the story to have them see the missing persons flyer...It wouldn't have been realistic to think they could just parade her around a place like that without fear of anyone noticing her. Now I wonder if anyone did? OK!!! NOW FOR THE SPEACH..It was another wonderful chapter...albeit not as overtly shocking or graphic as some of the others...but it didn't have to be. It moved the story forward, continued to develop the characters and their relationships with each other, and it still made me think about the bigger picture...not just them having fun at Disney...So, thank you for again sharing your talent with us. Not everyone can do what you do. You have a gift for storytelling...trust yourself. And as far as Stockholm syndrome thing goes...it's just the direction the story decided to take. Don't be so hard on yourself. Can't wait for the next chapter...

Fuck!!! So sorry about your couch Alcede!!! It's interesting that Alcede is a drug dealer, yet he seems really concerned about Eric and Anton's excessive drug use. Maybe his concern only extends to those he loves, and that list of people is pretty fucking short so he worries for them. Sookie crying over her little brother broke my heart... she revealed that her homelife wasn't exactly perfect because of her mothers inability to accept her brothers deafness and her subsequent drinking...so on top of everything else, she's feeling guilty because she's not there to protect him. I like that you included this revelation about Sookie's real family. You made her situation even more hopeless when I wasn't even sure that was possible. By adding this I think you bring up a basic truth, every family has their problems and secrets. But I'm sure Sookie would rather deal with her drunk mother rather than the evil bastards that are her new family. Can't wait for the next one...thanks for sharing....

There were a couple lines I especially liked in this chapter....Sookie comparing herself to an eroding island was a beautiful way to describe her slowly losing herself...and describing Eric's eyes as being like a gas stove...I can totally picture them almost flickering in a crazy-beautiful yet dangerous way... Sookie is well on her way down the slippery slope of drug use at this point...and really who could blame her? Besides, it's not as if she has a choice...Eric likes her fucked up, so it's not like she can "just say no!", and it's the only way she can escape her torment. Speaking of torment, Miguel obviously has big plans for Sookie...that can't bode well for her... I like that you keep giving us little bits of of info on their pasts...It helps us at least try to understand what motivates some of their behavior. I also like that Sookie denied herself contact with Matthew... she may be slipping fast, but she's not stupid and she's definately not the naive girl she once was... Thanks again for another amazing chapter...

Miguel is wealthier and more powerful than I thought!!! That makes him even more terrifying. And the fact that he's taken her out of the country (to Columbia no less) is scary as hell! Unfortunately for her now she's going to have to pay for Eric's mistake. I'm kind of hoping Stellen will get some payback now that he has nothing left to lose... but no matter what Sookie isn't going to walk away from this experience mentally intact... I can't wait for the next update. I honestly don't know what to expect...and I'm lovin it...

Brilliant!!! Since he isn't going to allow himself to kill Sookie, the next best thing is forcing her to watch him exercise his demons on the Hooker. He essentially made her take part... At this point she's so psychologically messed up I think she would love him no matter what. And I don't think he's even close to feeling better yet. ..

So sad!!! Even though they're as disfunctional as you can get... Alcede and Eric desperately want her to fall in love with them. The fact that she is in love with Anton is going to continue to be a problem for Eric at least. Nothing worse than being in love with someone that doesn't love you back! Eric is already unstable, adding this complication onto his long list of control issues is probably going to be what evevtually makes him snap. Anton nearly got what he wanted... If Alcede wouldn't have clocked Eric with the skillet he would be dead. Speaking of that...it surprised me that Alcede chose to help Anton over Eric... I don't know where they're going to go from here? But, I can't wait to see what you come up with... Oh! I can't believe Anton bought her a puppy, a cute little Corgi no less... If a rainbow were to pop up at some point... this fic would officially have something for everyone...lol. Thank you for sharing another amazing chapter.

Amazing...I think this may be the best one yet...that's saying alot....

I'm hooked!!! Esme makes me want to spit nails...and Vicky...what can I say about that dumb ass that hasn't already been said. I hate that Edward is married to her! This story is so good...and it's getting getting even better. You've done a great job developing your characters and keeping it real. These people have flaws and have made big mistakes along the way...I can't wait to find out how they deal with the consequences...I'm in!!!

I love it! can't wait for the next chapter...

I just found this story yesterday…and I haven’t been able to stop reading. Every spare moment today was spent sneaking peeks between the million projects I have going on. I love your writing style and cannot believe your a newbie!!! I am officially hooked!!! I don’t always leave a review… but I was compelled to let you know how much I’m enjoying your twist on the usual SVM cast. This story is smart, unique, and engaging and I can’t wait for more…Thank you so much for sharing...

Wow!!! I never saw that coming...I trusted you and you didn't let me down... Amazing chapter as usual...I almost felt sorry for Appius...ALMOST! It was probably the repeated rape that made me decide not to pitty him... However, you did something I've never seen before...you offered a reason for his cruel treatment toward Eric. And while incredibly twisted it somewhat humanized the monster...Thank you so much for sharing...can't wait for more.

This just gets better and better! Thanks for sharing!
