Hello everyone! As you've noticed, this isn't a new chapter. Instead, it's an EXTREMELY IMPORTANT update, so please read.

As of tomorrow, Monday June 11th, I am leaving for Army Basic Training, and will be at Ft. Sill Oklahoma. I will be in training for approximately ten weeks there. In those weeks, I will most likely not be allowed to use any of my electronics. (Which means no updates).

After Basic Training, I'll fly down to Ft. Sam Houston in San Antonia Texas for AIT (Advanced Individual Training). I'll be there for around forty-five weeks. My MOS is a Biomedical Equipment Specialist for those of you that didn't know.

Now, during AIT, I'll be able to use my laptop, but I have to wait for my parents to ship it to me from Virginia. (Might take a few days and I won't be able to have it for the first few weeks, probably).

So, if any of you are worried that I'll stop updating my stories, you may rest easy. In no way, shape, or form do I plan on canceling my stories. I really love writing and this is one of my hobbies. I'm upset that I won't be able to update for so long, but I plan to do so as soon as I'm able. I was planning on updating all stories tonight, but decided against it. When I come back, I want to be able to update right away (And not keep you waiting even longer for me to write new chapters after the months of nothing).

Therefore, I'm holding chapters hostage until my return. If you are dedicated and have read my note thus far, I really appreciate it. I know I'd be super upset if one of the stories I like'd got put on a temporary hiatus (It's happened before, only, the story still hasn't come back). Thank you so much for reading my stories and not getting super angry at this message (At least I hope you aren't. Please don't be mad).

I'm going to post this same message on all of my stories that way everyone knows what's going on. I think I might even put it on my dash/profile. Oh, also to anyone that I am currently a Beta for, I'm going to have to take a leave of absence from that for a few months. I hope you understand. But I can continue to Beta for you after I get back. Just send me a message (Or if you want me to become your Beta. I'm always open).

Okay, I think this message is long enough. If you have any questions/comments please write them quickly and I will be responding to them until tomorrow night.

Have a great couple of months and I'll see you soon.

Til next time,

Rachel :)

PS. I'll delete this notice once I return as well to keep the confusion on the down-low.
