Okay I'm so sorry I left you all hanging. I plan on having the next chapter up by the end of January. My life isn't as hectic as it was so I have the time now. I did hit sort of a writers block. I want this showdown between Jillian and Athalia to be epic and everything I come up with just falls short, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. Please forgive me for my absence I know I would hate me too. Go and reread Protected, get yourself reaquanted with it before it continues on. Thanks for the support from everyone.
