Yay! New chapter! Poor Drake -- it just keeps getting worse and worse for him, doesn\'t it? The way you write him, I can really sense all these emotions bubbling beneath the surface, fighting to burst out. At the end of the chapter, when he nearly yelled at his horse, I thought that was perfect. It really showed how far he\'d been pushed. Also, it was really funny. It\'s interesting that he can\'t quite let go of the idea of Teige being female, still adressing him as \"Woman\". Still can\'t quite come to terms with any attraction he might feel towards a male. I have a feeling Teige will help him with that one, although not before causing him to unravel like a cheap sweater. Oh yes, I definitely atticipate much tasty angst to come!

My favorite line from this part: \"...about as useful as soggy firewood.\" LOL! I just love Teige\'s dry wit. In some ways, he comes across as stronger than Drake. Drake may have a lot of muscles, but even now, Teige has a much more honest sense of himself.

Can\'t wait for more!

Love,

Well, I\'m betting that there\'s something that he can do to change Drake\'s mind *LOL* Great chapter, can\'t wait to read more!

Okay, now the last part makes sense. How long are you planning on making this one? What ever the length, I\'m looking forward to seeing what you come up with next. I won\'t complain about the cliffhanger ending to this chapter, because I have often been guilty of the same thing, but I still hope you start updating more than once a week (although, as an author, I understand why you probably won\'t).

Hey, Moonstar! I\'ve been meaning to review this wonderful story of yours for ages, but I am such a horrible person when it comes to reviewing. I love getting them, but I\'m always too busy to give them. Well, hee hee, I made time :grins:

I\'m totally hooked on this story and I groan and gnash my teeth when I get to the end of the chapter, because I have to wait for more. I\'m not a patient person, either, lol. You have a wonderful writing style, very vivid. I can easily picture the characters and the setting. I like Teige, I feel sorry for him, and I understand him being upset at the death of the vampire. Someone who is your only companion, for years, whether they\'re nice or not, you get attached to. Maybe Teige wished Cyprien was dead, but wishing for something is not the same as wanting it to happen. :shrug: I understand why he\'s upset. I can\'t wait to find out what Davinoff thinks of his \'maiden\'s\' makeover :snark:

I love everyone\'s names - I\'m a sucker for a good name - and these are great; they fit each person very well, they sound good, they\'re not impossible to pronounce or all sound the same (Like the story where Ljast\'pgrga meets Jane, Janie, Joan and John). Great work and I will be counting the days until you update again (hopefully wiling away the long hours by writing a little mysef :wink:)

Great new chapter! I liked the further developement of Teige\'s character. As much as the human spirit rebels against being confined, it\'s true that cages provide a certain safety, and suddenly finding yourself yanked out of one is a mixed blessing, which I think you captured very well. When Teige took Drake\'s sword -- at first, I thought he was going to do something crazy like attack Drake, and then I thought maybe he was going to try to kill himself. But using it to cut off his hair seemed perfect. A small first step on his path to self-reliance and freedom.

I absolutely loved \"M’notalady.” Totally cracked me up. And I thought this was a wonderful description: \"...felt about as valiant and self-sufficient as a dying toad...\" Very vivid! And funny.

Keep the good stuff coming! (And thanks for posting a bit early, just for me!)

Love,
Falcon

nope, chapter 2 wasn\'t the least bit dissapointing! :) and chapter 3 was fantastic, it answered a lot of questions and it was good to hear more about teige\'s background to understand him a little better. (before i was wondering about things such as whether his family was looking for him, and if he had any fighting skills, etc. which were all cleared up) i really can\'t wait til drake finds out that he is a man, lmfao! i\'m more and more intrigued about where this is all going. and i echo the sentiments of everyone else who hates to wait a week- it\'s torture! but thank you so much for the consistent updates. you definitely know how to keep your readers captivated :)

Um, ok..so he\'s upset that the vampire was killed? (assuming of course the vampire was killed, which unless that\'s a silver sword or something may not be the case). I was thinking he wanted Cyprien to be defeated and himself rescued. *is confused*

Wonderful story so far - just finished Chapter 1. I know how it is to beg for reviews. Hope you get many more - you deserve them!

Hurray! A new chapter! And as beautifully written as always. I particularly liked this description of Cyprien: \"...his crimson eyes gleaming in the night and silver hair falling about in visible wisps the color of moonbeams about his shoulders.\" Gorgeous! Poor Drake. I liked him right away. Guess I have such a soft spot in my heart for big, tough guys who can\'t come to terms with the fact that they are so very, very, gay. It provides a perfect opportunity for tons of delicious angst -- and I know you never dissappoint when it comes to delivering that! I look forward to his rude awakening. And I hope he doesn\'t take his frustration out on Teige. Well...not too much, at least. *Wink*

And what\'s this about being forced to wait an entire week for the next update? *Places hands on hips and pouts*

Love,

Okay, now I\'m officially confussed. Teige seemed to dislike Cyprien in the previous chapter, and he seemed to want Davinoff to rescue him. Now he seems to feel just the oposite? Then again, maybe he\'s just gone all \"Stockholm Syndrome\" on us. And is Cyprien really dead? I kind of liked the vampire, although that may have just been my preferance for vamps. Who knows. Anyway, I\'m really curious where this is going, and I look forward to the next update. Do you have the ending written yet, or can I still beg for a happy ending of some sort this time?
