I am so sorry for dying off the face of the earth people! Moving apparently gave me a life and now I'm in college. So, good news and bad news people.

The bad news: I am putting this story on Hiatus because I went back through it and it sucks. It moves way too slowly and I hate the way I have written it.

The good news: I have written up a whole new (3,000 word) plan for this story, with every little detail on what I plan to do. I have fleshed out the story more and actually given names to things, like the countries and so on. While the updates will not be fast for my remake, I plan to write the entire thing out and finally get the story finished, with higher quality than before, so look out for it! The chapters will be much longer than they were for this one, and hopefully the story won't feel like it is moving to slowly now. I am extremely sorry for the wait, but hopefully the new and improved version of Escaping will be worth it! I'm working on drawing a cover for it, but that will be a slow process. For now I just hope you enjoy it. The first chapter will be posted shortly.

If I still have readers after having taken so long, I will be surprised lol. Please give the new story a chance :)

Oh, and since we aren't allowed to have authors notes as chapters, here's what I had written for the next chapter before I decided to remake the story.

Chapter 24

~Len's POV~

I woke up the next morning pretty quickly. Usually I'm a little groggy when I wake up in the mornings, but I felt completely rested, which was a nice change. For a second I wondered where I was, when I realized I was in a comfortable bed. For a second I almost wanted to believe that everything that had happened was a dream, but then I remembered where I was. Those two nice people, Kaito and Meiko, had let me stay here, and they were even going to help me! And besides, I wouldn't know Rin if all of this was a dream. Then again, neither her nor my parents would be in jail… Oh well, can't change the past.

I got up and wandered out into the hallway when I realized that I still had to go to the bathroom. The only problem was that I had no idea where it was. Instead of wandering around trying to find it, I decided to go back to that room we'd eaten in the night before and hope that one of them was awake. Lucky for me, Kaito was sitting on the couch reading a book.

"Um Kaito?" I asked as I walked into the room with him. He raised his head to look over the book at me and nodded for me to continue. "I was just wondering where your bathroom is," I told him. He pointed back towards the hallway I'd walked from.

"It's next to the bedroom you were sleeping in. Just one door down," He said as he went back to reading his book. I thanked him and headed back down the hall. Let me say: It's nice to be able to use a real bathroom again. It's things like that you don't think about before leaving your house to wander a forest.

I headed back into what I would assume is their living room, considering the couch, and sat down on the side opposite Kaito. All I could think about was how to rescue Rin. How was I supposed to break into a jail, break someone out and get out without being caught? I just couldn't think of a way to do it.

I may come back and finish this version of the story one day because I promised I would, but if I do it will be after the remake is done.

So please check out the remake and let me know if it is any better! It will just be called "Escaping - Remake" so pretty easy to find.

I miss you all!
