I really hate to do this, like hate it to the depths of my soul, but I'm going to be putting this story on a hiatus.

As I was trying to write the next chapter, I realized two things:

1) While I had a strong grip on the story and characterization at the beginning of this, I've changed the events and what I want this all to lead up to, and it isn't fitting very well with what I already have written. So, basically, the timeline of this story has gone all out of whack in my head, and I feel it'd be an injustice to all of you guys if I just make the rest up as I go along.

2) Looking back on my previous chapters of this story, I realized that this entire things needs a serious rewrite. Not only story-wise, but character-wise as well. Dialogue? Blech. Characterization? Blech. 4 outta 10. I'm not happy with it.

I still really like the general idea of the story though, so I don't want to abandon it altogether. I'm going to take a break from it (not going to say how long because I don't want to make/break any promises), maybe write something else, and come back and spruce it up into what is hopefully a better story later on.

However, I still want to go ahead and thank every. Single. One. Of. You. for taking the time to comment on this story, for faving it and putting it on your alert list. Even for simply reading it. You guys are all amazing :) If you have any thoughts or criticism (respectful criticism, please) on how I could better my writing style, please don't' be afraid to say so. Fanfiction is not only a place for me to put up stories, but also a good way for me to practice and improve my writing.

Again, I'm sorry it had to come to this, but thank you so much for sticking by it for so long! :)
