It's done and will be ready tomorrow.<br /><br />I'm glad you were pleasantly surprised by Jimmy's behavior. I really had fun looking at this side of him. I imagine it doesn't come out very often.<br /><br />As for Killer, just remember you said that.<br /><br />And thanks! It was a style choice that felt right in this case.The Lunar Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00300943457749354465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322342997539658469.post-68127219114843490432010-05-20T06:47:06.157-07:002010-05-20T06:47:06.157-07:00Oh man!

You have no idea how happy and excited I was to just sit in front of my computer enjoying my evening away with so many chapters all at once! ^^<br /><br />And then you stopped it here. D8<br /><br /><i>Nuuuuu!!!</i> Don't let it happen, not to sweet, brave Mary! ':( Please, Jimmy, come now! My heart nearly skipped a beat when I saw his tattoo (when he first stood behind Mary).<br /><br />Anyway, I was very, very (pleasantly, may I add) surprised by Jimmy's behaviour towards Mary. That he wouldn't bed her so that she wouldn't have to bear the consequences surprised me even more. I almost couldn't believe he had such a side to him, lol. But the part about them not even knowing how he killed his father was creepy. He could kill with his mind or something? 8| The villagers' fear towards him sure wasn't misplaced.<br /><br />Also, a question popped in my head while reading this chapter: did Killer have some mind-reading abilities? He seemed to be able to counter her moves and answer her unspoken questions.<br /><br />Lastly, I love how you switch from writing in present tense in Paula's story to past tense in Mary's. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322342997539658469.post-3623137784958938362010-05-19T13:54:38.090-07:002010-05-19T13:54:38.090-07:00When Shawn said that, I think she actually meant m...When Shawn said that, I think she actually meant more like a tribe member. I don't think she'd actually make a distinction between herself and other humans. (She's an Experiment if you're wondering. I don't know if you saw her profile.)<br /><br />*hods* Jimmy and Killer are comparable at least.<br /><br />Actually, the scene in my head of Jimmy chasing Killer out, I think you might be surprised about what happened. But I don't know when or how I can show you that scene. It came out while I was exploring Henri's past. Hmmm...<br /><br />And Killer's hate for Jimmy is compounded by this promotion. You always catch these types of things!<br /><br /><br />As for his teeth, I'm just lazy at the details, lol. I probably should have dirtied his teeth up a bit, but that smile was so evil...<br /><br /><br />Thanks Moondaisy! I think you've helped with the next update!The Lunar Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00300943457749354465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322342997539658469.post-75172207424631208442010-05-19T12:51:08.841-07:002010-05-19T12:51:08.841-07:00Oh, Lunar! How dare you let us hang in here like t...Oh, Lunar! How dare you let us hang in here like this... lol.<br />This is brilliant!<br /><br />When Shawn says "now you start thinking like one of us..." does she mean like a human? Or does she mean like an (half) experiment? Or does she mean like "we knew how dangerous Jimmy can be and you didn't want to see it?"<br /><br />From what Shawn says it sounds like Jimmy has passed his rites and come into full power. It also sounds like he is a lot "stronger" than Killer.<br /><br />I think Killer tried to hurt Brandon. It must have been bad if Henri agreed with Jimmy that Killer had to go... and let Jimmy deal with it.<br /><br />So now he can't have a go at Brandon, he goes for the other person Jimmy cares for... He must absolutely hate Jimmy. I wonder it's because of Jimmy's promotion.<br /><br />What a difference with the entrance of Ghost! Here you know immediately that Mary is in grave and absolute danger. This degenerate is out to get her... When he said "Bennett" instead of Jimmy, it reminded me of Jimmy's unstable father. I wonder whether Killer is unstable.<br /><br />His smirk is evil, but I could not help notice how beautiful his mouth is... lovely teeth too. I think that makes it worse.<br /><br />I'm glad Mary is putting up a fight. Very glad... and I pray her luck isn't running out.Moondaisynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322342997539658469.post-42102585538075693862010-05-17T10:11:43.781-07:002010-05-17T10:11:43.781-07:00Thank you SB, that really means a lot.
Drew, I w...Thank you SB, that really means a lot.<br /><br /><br />Drew, I will say Killer probably noticed something about Mary that day, even if he hadn't made plans. It's probably the same thing he noticed about Edy in the later story.<br /><br />Jimmy <i>is</i> thorough. But Killer... Also what they discussed in the woods is a good question. Only Jimmy and Killer would know, and Brandon can't read Jimmy's mind.<br /><br /><br />Gayl, that's a good point. Of course, he could also have been thinking about Brandon at the time too.<br /><br />Oh, that's another good question. I've actually explored that a little and found a theme. But it won't be clear for a while yet.<br /><br /><br />As for that last part, it might be a little of both. Killer does mention that Jimmy knows how to protect himself by keeping his brother close. It seems he might be taking a cue from a myth...The Lunar Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00300943457749354465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322342997539658469.post-9846784745708432662010-05-17T08:22:43.321-07:002010-05-17T08:22:43.321-07:00I've been thinking about this a lot.

My first impressions of Jimmy from Paula's perspective had me distrusting him greatly but now that I know about Mary I wonder if Jimmy took Paula in order to protect her as opposed to doing her harm.<br /><br />And I find it very interesting that Henri can have such diversely strange yet powerful offspring. Makes me wonder who is is out there with his DNA.<br /><br />Thinking more about Killer knowing what Jimmy might do, I wonder if he is counting on that or just so psychopathic and cruel that he doesn't care.thewyndhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09476656359810192923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322342997539658469.post-92048045746556110332010-05-17T07:55:19.080-07:002010-05-17T07:55:19.080-07:00Somehow, I felt it in my gut that Killer had plans...Somehow, I felt it in my gut that Killer had plans for Mary. That evil demon grin of his was chilling to the extreme. And his husky, excited voice. Pain turns him on, wonderful. Yuck. I love Mary's determined look in the last shot, but will it all be for naught?<br />And I thought Jimmy was thorough, he did not do a very thorough job of seeing Killer off. I still wonder what they discussed in the woods, if anything.<br /><br />Chilling and creepy and wow, what a cliffhanger!KDSGShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04455699819585437080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322342997539658469.post-1030565959047388942010-05-17T07:41:43.940-07:002010-05-17T07:41:43.940-07:00stunning and ominous.

There's more, but we'll get to that someday.<br /><br />I can't really say what's worse, but you're right in your guess.<br /><br />Also, you're so strangely prophetic! Seriously, lol.

How in the heck did he get back there? <br /><br />I don't know what is worse, him killing her or just hurting her badly. My guess is the more she fights, the worse he will hurt her too. <br /><br />Interesting that Killer mentions Henri's concern over Jimmy's powers and how Jimmy would react if Brandon was hurt in any way...I would think that Killer would keep that in mind with Mary.<br /><br />My stomach is in knots over what is going to happen!thewyndhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09476656359810192923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322342997539658469.post-69234694667010172662010-05-16T17:27:23.193-07:002010-05-16T17:27:23.193-07:00"His voice was husky with excitement."
..."His voice was husky with excitement."<br /><br />This just sent chills down my spine, especially in light of what Brandon said in the last chapter, how Killer liked to hurt girls. <br /><br />And noooooo! Cliffhanger!<br /><br />I just so badly want Mary to get away from Killer. She's definitely a fighter, you can tell. Is she strong enough though?

One of those moments where the camera spins and around and boom, you're faced with that.<br /><br /><br />Laura, lol!<br /><br />Oh, you know, that's true. But he does have a soul; it's just horribly twisted.<br /><br />And you know, the self defense thing, I've actually given some thought to that! Most are probably taught self defense by their loved ones, like Brandon was probably taught by Jimmy early on. <br /><br />She is definitely a fighter.<br /><br /><br />Rachel, I definitely can't say anything, so we'll find out how bad next week!<br /><br />Rad, thanks.
