    It sounds like they already screwed up their mission, she's creeped out and doesn't want to join their group. XD Good example of how most monsters actually have no idea how to function in a social setting, which brings some comedy to it all. I thought it was short and sweet, and it was good to see another point of view that wasn't the innocent main character. :)

    Yea, I actually had to re-read it a few times, before posting it. Just to make sure I wasn't repeating sentences. xD What do you think of the new chapter?

    I'm actually glad to see a lot of 'while', reminded me 'as' is not the only conjunction out there. XD Vocab is an easy fix though I mean thesaurus.com is my best friend for synonyms to my own repeat words haha. I don't mean to red pen though it's a good story. ^^

    Alright. Thanks for the suggestions. I'll re-look it over, and fix the few mistakes. :D I usually do catch myself writing too much of one word, and it aggravates me to think that there's no other word to replace it xD I don't have a lot of vocab for stories like this, so I try my best.

    Alright unlike last time I'm not all brain fried and sleepy for a comment. XD Woohoo AA coffee. Anyways, if I were to decide which 1-3 was better I would definitely say this one. But it's not ringing bells of weird stuff I watch in my spare time, it's more in depth into the character, and way less time-liney. :) In the previous version I think I mentioned not believing some of the things that happened, but this one was certainly more believable. I guess any suggestions I could make would be maybe slow down with the "while's", the 'I did this while doing this and saying,' you know what I mean? It's something I catch myself doing a lot with 'as' in my own story. And I've noticed reading out loud that it tends to trip a reader up. Just a little editing trick. Oh, and tiny details like "she set down a plate of spaghetti" or whatever, rather than "she set down a plate of food" and tiny stuff like that will help with the detail to help readers kind of understand scenery. Other than that, I think it's going great. Can't wait to read more. \^.^/

    Actually, this story was supposed to be a lot longer, so that the plot was stretched out. I really feel like I should re-write the whole thing over again, just to get the jest of what it was actually supposed to be out...but slowly moving, you know what I mean?

    Thank you so much for your suggestions and comment. I will look it over, and see what it is that I'll need to fix up.

    Alright I promised feedback once I got back on the computer. But it's been a late, busy night and I'm a bit worn out so I'm sorry but I only got to chapter five before sleepiness caught up with me. So far, this story reminds me a lot of 'Diabolik Lovers', minus the part where I don't want to finish. Because I do. XD Anyway, I'd say that the plot is escalating a bit quickly. A good idea, but it's sort of like wait what huh, why should I even believe any of this? And an easy fix for that would be to add a little more detail, to character's personalities and their surroundings. We get what they look like, but more about how she interacts with her family, how sad they seemed, what occurred on the way to the airport. Why on earth she agreed on leaving, why on earth she believed Frank saying boom sorry parents dead. Detail would also help soften the sort of time-liney feel this has: and then. and then. and next. and then...

    HOWEVER, when you do describe things, like how she feels and the weird way she was at home with creepy monster people was pretty awesome. The beginning certainly had me hooked and Frank's flashback was an interesting window into his motives. This is also a wonderful switchup from the cliche "I'm in love with a good monster" Twilight nonsense. Monsters are bad and they feed off pain, which you have captured wonderfully. Keep up the good work, definitely. :) Now that I feel awkward for babbling lmao

    I read a few chapters, and I like the ominous tone the whole thing has. It seems like Alex's family has a shady thing going on, and I like that I am able to sense that. It'll be interesting to see where this goes, and whether Alex will comply or not.
