Dedication: I'm dedicating this chapter to my good friend Carly who is the reason why this story has gone from being 4 chapters unfinished, to where it is today. If it weren't for her I wouldn't have continued working on it. And... a small note to Bloodshedbaby. This chapter is ALSO for you sweetie. You'll know why. :D
