Hey guys.

Okay, so I would like to apologize. I know that a lot of people have been waiting for the final few chapters, and I have even gotten PMs asking for them. And I've read them. And, I am going to tell you why they haven't been posted and what exactly is going on.

Okay, well, let's start with this: my Walking Dead muse is gone . . . for the most part. Every now and then, I get a flash of inspiration, but it's not enough for an entire chapter. My main problem is that I feel like . . . I am not "in touch with my Daryl" if you will. Carol is easy for me to write because she is a lot like me in a lot of ways. Daryl, however, is very different. When I write Daryl, I try to make him as canon as possible, and when I don't have inspiration, it's kind of hard to accomplish. I think - and hope - that once Season 5 comes, my inspiration will return and I will get in touch with my "inner Daryl" again.

Okay, ANOTHER reason why the chapter is not up yet.

I wrote A LOT of it. And I mean A LOT - we are talkin' like 90% of the chapter. I wrote it on notebook paper in the car on a little roadtrip about a week ago. So, I brought the pages home, and put them on my desk to type up, AND NOW THEY ARE GONE. I have looked all over the house for them, and cannot find them. So, either my dog got a hold of them, or someone else accidentally threw them away.

So . . . now I have to rewrite all of that.

I'm really, really sorry for the long wait. I am trying incredibly hard to type up the next chapter and get it out to you as quickly as possible.

Also, a small change of plans: I think that this story is going to be longer than originally intended. We are actually talking 30 chapters now. I have it all planned out. So, hopefully, it will be good enough for you guys.

Anyway, I apologize again for taking such a long time. I hope you all can forgive me. I will do my best to get the next chapter out to you ASAP.

-Love, Skye
