    Nice new addition. :) Take your time with the updates, darling, they'll come as they do, and it's pointless to try and force it. I like this chapter, and the twist! Oh my goodness the twist! (Okay, so it wasn't really a twist, but as I said before, I am obtuse, and when it turned out that they're both after the same thing, I was pleasantly surprised.)
    One teensy note on word usage: at the end, in Alina's P.O.V., you say something along the lines of murder isn't usually something I condemn. Judging by what follows that, I think you meant to say "something I condone". Condemn means that you look down upon it, condone means that you think it's alright.
    But that's all. Brava!

    Ooh, mysterious. Great again, and I didn't mind the length too much. Suspense, and all that jazz.

    I wish I had more to say about this chapter, since this looks pretty pathetic in comparison to the above, but there's nothing much else that I can say. (Except maybe that you might consider making friends with an editor.... Sorry, I'm a bit of a stickler for grammar.) Other than that, I guess my only comment is please don't give up on this story. It really has potential, and I love reading it.

    I really like where you went with the last chapter - I had already gotten the idea that Alina was a bit of a tortured soul, but I like the development of the idea, and it's especially sweet that she's the kind who will stand up for herself. It's rather tiring to continuously meet the silently fading into oblivion type, and I love that your characters aren't going to be that way!
    I must admit I have no idea who the mystery person from the past is supposed to be... maybe I'm just really obtuse, but that's okay. I think you have room to continue developing your characters before introducing the main conflict.
    Another great chapter, ma belle!

    Don't worry about the writer's block. Sit down and start writing, even if it's not about this, and you'll find that you can work through it. You'll invariably end up scrapping most of what you've written, but eventually you'll hit on a good way to continue this.
    Out of curiosity, do you have a concrete plan of where you want this to go (on paper/computer screen), or is it just a "come-what-may" kind of endeavour? I still struggle sometimes with which method works best for me, so I'm curious to know what other people use.

    P.S. Thanks for the shout-out. It made me feel all fuzzy inside.

    Not that you need my validation, since SoccerGirl12 said it all, but I really like this story! I'm excited to see where this is going to lead, and your idea sounds really original (something I find rather lacking around here unless you're willing to search for a half-hour...). I'd love to see longer chapters, but perhaps the length is part of the suspense. Great start!
