I just want to tell you that I think the polar bear picture you have up in your tumblr is so cute! I just love it.

Also, whoever gave you flack about the story not matching it's description should read the first chapter over again and pay attention to what they are reading.

I want you to know that I am a dark haired brunette with thick coarse hair who is quickly going bald by pulling strands out by their roots while reading this story. It's really getting to me, LOL.

I am so afraid that Jason is going to get in serious trouble with Richard by showing Brennan his 'branding'.

When Jason said, "Stop, it's not his fault." I think he is going to let Richard, Phil and Al know what he did so that they do not take it out on Brennan but him. Please don't let them kill Jason or I am seriously gonna cry my guts out.

Oh God, if he doesn't escape once and for all, I don't want to know what will happen to him. This is the first time in a long time any piece of writing made my heart pick up. Please let it end well!

Yeahhh!!! I really liked this chapter. But that cliffhanger is driving me crazy!! Jason is a really good character, I wish he could find the will to live again. Now I really feel bad for Brennan future. Please don't send him back in the barn, that was awful once a second time would be unbearable.
I can't wait to see what is in the bathroom, and if Brennan could manage to escape NOW ( I know it won't happen but still I would love it ) I would be very happy.
When I saw that Brennan was finally on the news my heart went crazy, I was so happy!!!
I was thinking that since Al work in a asylum, if Brennan managed to escape and went to the police, alex could still have the excuse that Bren is insane telling bullshit and that he escaped the hospital. But now that Bren is in the news,it will be easier for him to find help.
I LOVE your story!!!

Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!!!!!!!!! Brennan is losing it (or has lost it already) and I am dreading the next chapter to find out what his punishment is gong to be. I doubt there is a window he can escape from (probably to high to jump anyway)and I know that Phil must have a key to his own personal bathroom hiding in the drawer somewhere.
Brennan has finally cracked and I just hope there is not a razor blade in the bathroom and if there is he doesn't get the chance to use it. I felt so happy for Brennan when he heard the news broadcast so that he knew his family and friends WERE looking for him and that they didn't think he just 'ran away' on his own. I do wish he got a chance to at least see his mother on the news and that would have given him HOPE and a reason to want to live. I think this by far was one of your best chapters to date and enjoyed the fact that for once, Phil and Al's perfect little plan may be backfiring on them. I am afraid though that they may decide Brennan is just too much trouble and try to 'dispose' of him. Obviously, they are going to mark him just like Richard had done to Jason. I liked that Jason had the courage to stand up to Richard, as well as to Phil and Al, for Brennan. I am really nervous now that Jason and Brennan are 'in for it' and that it won't be pleasant.

Richard is way to confident about Phil and Al not getting caught by the authorities for kidnapping Brennan and hope that will be his downfall.

I was too excited to even sign in when I saw you had updated chapter 12. There are not enough words to even express what I felt reading the newest chapter except that I cried for Brennan and Jason. I really need a box of kleenex handy when reading this story ~~ sniffles ~~~ I think I am in shock so this is the best I can do for my review until next time.

I really hope you will be able to focus on updating numerous chapters during December or I will drown in sorrow.

I want to mention again, that if you start a mailing list for this story, please add me to it.

i always feel this anxious dread when you've updated - and that's meant as a compliment, because your story is so real that i feel like i'm living through it. i can't remember a time when i've felt so involved when reading something. you're an incredibly talented writer.

You just made my day a million times brighter.
I was so excited I actually had to calm myself down, so I could read at a pace where my mind could keep up. (It was torture!)

This chapter was amazing. I must admit I felt a little like Brennan while reading this,
not knowing how to react, heart palpitating at certain scenes, nervous clenching of muscles as I avidly read
as fast as I could. I felt like I was short circuiting.

The news scene was especially fraught with this emotion. It was as though I didn't know whether to laugh and smile in
relief or to sit back and think "This isn't good. This really isn't good." My heart was thudding just at the expectation of
what would happen next.

I should know well enough by now, having been reading your story since you first posted that this chapter of Brennan's story isn't
yet coming to a close. But I still didn't stop me from thinking naively "This is it. This is the moment he's going to get away." Even now the realistic side of me is scoffing at that notion.

I don't have a particular emotion leaving with me at the end of this chapter. Usually it's fear, or some deplorable form of excitement.
But today it's just a quiet incessant thrum, of what I am not sure. Perhaps the premature knowledge that something is coming. Something big.

Anyway, Thank you for delivering another chapter, and the brief mention on your tumblr.
I had felt a little uneasy with leaving such lengthy responses all the time, but I truly feel that a) a story this great, an author this brilliant and able to update so quickly deserves a more than a line of praise. b) A story that makes me log in, cause I just can't leave the page without expressing my complete and utter awe is well worth a few...paragraphs :)

So, just wanted to let you know that I'm still following your story. When I first stared reading this I expected ( form the summary) to read about someone dealing with the effects of abduction. so basically the aftermath. I am glad you do take the time to build up the past and what is happing, basically starting at the beginning. That combined with an amazing writing skill makes this a wonderful story. It really touches me.
I just hope you will put poor Brennan back together after so completely destroying him. I do love happy endings but I will have to wait and see...

Hope to read more form you soon.
