Nice beginning, deary. Yes, I think I'll be reading this one... hm... TreeHugger, are you the same one from fanfiction? I think I've read a few of your stories there too.

Hey - you didn't even tell me you had updated! Was the mention of Christofer in one of your last mails a subtle hint for me to investigate?

I still love this story, although it is very dark. The plot is very exciting, of course - especially because the reader never knows how real certain things are - and what to think about certain characters... What about Feodor, for instance? Hmm... And what is Dr. Derwent's role? Is he acting out of good will, believing that returning will help Christofer to overcome what he sees as madness, or - is he a secret ally of the vampyre?

The best think, however, are the very intense descriptions. I love the way you use the descriptions of things - and especially the stuff out of which things are made - to create a certain atmosphere. "a tarnished brass key", "one elegant hand curled around the cold metal of the iron doors", " the rusted nail", "the silver crucifix that lay beneath her dress" - metal seems to be important in this story.

Especially that "silver crucifix" - I can't help thinking that it is intriguing indeed... First of all, it is hidden beneath the dress - why? Is it a clue that the good and protective things are hidden in this story while the horror is plain? Or is it not symbolic and does Elena want to hide it? Then, it is a _silver_ crucifix... You would use a silver bullet against werewolves - so perhaps you can use a silver crucifix against vampyres?

But one thing is good - Elena and Wilhelm (I assume they are both good and not secret vampyres or something - I hope I'm not wrong!) seem to start wondering whether Christofer was right long ago... So perhaps, there is hope...

I also thought at first that the prayer at the end of the chapter meant there was hope, but then, I remembered the use of prayers in this story - the prayer at the beginning did not protect Christofer, but was at the beginning of all the angst and horror...

Things are very mysterious, and I can't wait to see where you will take this!

Write on soon - and alert me when the new chapter is up, please! :-)

Whoa! What a story. Gruesome and yet awesome. You made me shudder!

First question - is this how it ends, everything hanging right in mid-air? Or was this where you stopped writing when you were 15? Or is this only what you have posted so far, and is there another chapter lying in some dark corner of your house? ;-) If there is one, I shall gladly read it.

I liked the descriptions used, very well done indeed - one can almost _see_ that house.

And the way you intertwined the prayer and the progress of the plot in the first chapter. simply awesome.

Concerning the topic of the story. I wonder whether 15 years are exactly the age at which one is fond of writing somewhat "dark" fics. Many people seem to do that at that age. ;-)

Well, and I must confess something: Usually, I neither like vampires nor terrible childhood stories. That I got drawn into your story despite my usual dislike of such things proves that it is good work! Great job done - just as usual. :-)
