Oh, thank you!!!! You really have made me happy.

I couldn't stop reading this new chapter and have read it through at least 6 times already. It's really chilling and so realistic that it gives me the creeps. I keep looking over my shoulder when I go out now and am more aware of my surroundings.

I also don't want the story to end (at least not just yet) or for Brennan to escape anytime soon.

I am at peace knowing Brennan does gain his freedom some day but at what cost?

I seriously don't want Jason to be killed off (or commit suicide) or I will literally have a temper tantrum over it and that would scare you, LOL.

I want both of them to be saved in one way or another and to end up being best friends for life.

Oh, and I had to also mention that it seems to me like Al may be suffering from guilt just a teeny weeny bit but not sure.

I hope you have a very happy Holiday and thanks for the Christmas present that I was hoping for 'Santa'!

~~~ sighs ~~~

It will be one month tomorrow since you last updated.

~~~ cries ~~~

I know you are very busy with school and work, plus the Holiday season is upon us, so I will wait patiently even though it is killing me.

I have noticed that there are fewer authors online lately and even lesser updates for my favorite stories.
"Tis the Season"

I will keep checking back daily and hope I get a gift (new chapter) by Christmas Eve. ~~~ hint hint hint ~~~

Have a very happy Holiday!

Catch ya next year! (or hopefully sooner)

I just tried to leave a reply on tumblr but don't know if it was accepted so I will also leave it here. In regards to what actors I could imagine playing Brennan, Jason, Phil and Al here they are;

Brennan - Landon Liboiron
Jason - William Moseley
Phil - Henry Cavill
Al - Alex Pettyfer

I am not sure who could play Richard yet but will try to think of someone.

I bet that Richard will take Brennan with him when he and Jason leave so that Phil and Al will have time to clean up any mess (evidence) of the kidnapping just in case police come to their farm and check them out. He could keep Brennan for safekeeping until things (news) calm down while at the same time 'train' him like he has Jason trained. Then Jason and Brennan's 'friendship' could blossom and they can help each other survive their ordeal.

I want Jason and Brennan's ending both to have a happy outcome with this story.

Oh NO you can't just end it like that. These cliffhangers are going to be the end of me before the story even ends. I can't take the pressure anymore. GRRRRRR

Something tells me that Phil is really beginning to hate Brennan and I am thinking possibly regretting ever choosing him as their victim.

Ahhh they're going to brand him! This sounds bad, but I was kind of hoping they would. I love the drama of these chapters, even though they're disturbing to read, they're also incredibly exciting. Brennan not being able to eat was shockingly realistic, and was really a detail that helped the reader feel the horror of his experience. Plus I know that Brennan will be free eventually (?) so there's not that underlying fear that they're going to murder him... I think... Argh, I was a little mad when Brennan ran into the bathroom! I know that's the natural response and all, but it's kind of like, it's not really going to help him, is it, and it's only going to make them hurt him more. As much as I find violence to be gripping and dramatic, it's like, Brennan really needs a break from being slapped around. :P

Phil is really scary. He was a lot more, uh, rational and patient in the beginning, now he acts like he despises Brennan. Even if he still wants to use him sexually, it kind of seemed at first that Phil wanted Brennan to give in and like having sex with them. Even come to terms and not be completely miserable (like when he tried to justify the situation to Brennan several days earlier, and say that he'd be happy one day). Obviously that's not going to work, but Phil was willing to take it easy with Brennan - now it's like, he's snapped and is a ticking time bomb of violence against him. For Brennan's sake I hope he chills out again. I don't trust Al any more than Brennan does, but I'd be latching on to Al like crazy in this situation just because he's the one keeping Phil at bay.

You said in your blog that Brennan would have a love interest eventually, if I'm not mistaken? I'm wondering if that is Jason? Though Jason does seem like he has a timer above his head, and will commit suicide at first possible chance. Still, it'd be interesting to know more about Jason even if he doesn't last until the story's conclusion. I guess, more interesting is Richard... he's pretty terrifying, and I'm kind of imagining him as some kind of ringleader in this slave trade group. Then again, we don't know exactly why he is more terrifying than Phil and Al, who I imagine are about as terrifying as it gets. Maybe Richard is some kind of sociopath. How exactly does he punish Jason when he tries to run? Jason presumably has all of teeth - Phil and Al act like they'd have no reservations about maiming Brennan. Maybe it's psychological torture?

Good luck with your school work. Sorry to leave such long reviews, haha.

Oh my gosh, what was Brennan thinking running into the bathroom and locking himself in like that. I mean Phil had just warned him to behave or he would go back into the BARN. I know he panicked and don't blame him for that but geeze Brennan do you really like to be punished. Dang. I don't think he will get away because there are three of them and one would catch him before he could run anway which I don't think he is capable of but who knows because Brennan is running on adrenaline right now out of pure fear. I am wondering now whether or not they will leave the area they are currently living in and move to where Richard (and Jason) live. I would think though that might raise suspicion at their jobs. Also, what if that guy at Home Depot who Al? (I don't remember if it was Phil or Al) was talking to when Brennan yelled for help, calls the police after seeing the news story about Brennan. I loved seeing Phil and Al's feathers ruffled too. They deserve to sweat for what they are doing to Brennan. That Richard is a cool cucumber and very scarey even more so than Phil. I think you have updated at least one chapter per month since Feb 2011 and hope you can find time to update more often once you have a break from school.

I am terrified to read the next chapter but am panicking myself just thinking about what is going to happen.

Please don't let Jason kill himself, that would be too sad for me and I want him to be rescued just like Brennan will be some day.
