Shattered was a story I wrote when I was 17. I'm so immensely proud of the success the story has found on this website but there are small things about the writing that bother me when I look back on it now 5 years later. No major parts of the chapters will be altered- it will remain the same story you guys know and love. I hope no one's too disappointed by the updates. As always- thank you endlessly for the support. xComplete
