Thank you for reading Parker. It's great to hear that people are enjoying the story. I really liked this chapter as well Thank you again for your review.

Apparently Merrick can tap into his naughty side when he's around Jenson I guess we'll have to see if he can finally corner the skittish vampire lol Thank you for the review and the support. I appreciate it

Chapter 5 Jenson walked into the compound’s common room, immediately finding Audra leaning against the back of a chair, flirting with one of the guards. Judging from the man’s smitten gaze, she was doing a great job. Jenson shook his head and chuckled to himself. She was good. When she looked up, her smile faded immediately. He must look worse than he thought. Leaving the bewildered guard behind, she walked up and took Jenson’s hands in hers, pulling him towards an empty cluster of c

The title of this poem is Depression, but in the end it's about hope and getting to that light at the end of the tunnel. Beautiful.

Well I did post two chapters within days of each other, so missing one would be expected lol. I hope the coming chapters answer some of your questions I hope you had a great trip. Thank you for the review

Thank you Def:) That is the question isn't it? The scent could explain Merrick's reaction ... but what about Jenson's? thank you for your review and your support

Thank you Eagle I'm very happy you liked the chapter. I think the scent did give Merrick that nudge he needed. Thank you for the review and your support.

This one was sad . You did a wonderful job describing the weight of melancholy and sadness as it threatens to drown you. I think we have all been to that place a time or two.

Thank you, Reader! I'm glad you're enjoying the story. Young Merrick is a lot of fun to write, so I'm pleased you like him (and Jenson) too. Thank you for your review and your support.

Oh Merrick didn't live the life of a monk for 10 years, but knowing he is going to be in close proximity with Jenson again makes going after what he wants very tempting. Jenson is a true diplomat, although I don't think he was only trying to explain away Merrick's reaction Thank you for your review and your support. I really do appreciate it.

I think the Heltarians could bottle that scent and sell it like extasy. lol I'm pleased you like the scene with 18 year old Merrick. He's been harbouring a crush for years and having his inhibitions gone would have been very powerful for him. Thank you for your review. I appreciate it

Thank you, Gary. I love: "It feels like the universe isn't big enough to erase their connection." It fits with how I see them too. I think Merrick being able to show how he felt about Jenson was very powerful for him. I hope you enjoy the rest of their story. Thank you for your unwavering support and for the great review. I really appreciate it.

You have no idea how much I LOVE that you "fangirled" over this chapter. I was pretty nervous about it and I am relieved that people seem to like the scene. I have a feeling Merrick is going to come up with lots of creative ways to "convince" Jenson. Thank you for the great review and your support, Drew. I really appreciate it

I'm really pleased you liked the scene between Merrick and Jenson. I was a little nervous about it. I enjoy writing about the two, especially the flashbacks, so I'm happy you are enjoying getting to know them too. Thank you for your support and your review Tim. I appreciate it.

I am like Noel, I have so many questions about souls. Is he really 3 different souls in one body? Do the souls actually merge into one? Is it like having bipolar disorder? What is the power that Noel has that threw that doctor back? Seeing his grandmother dying in front of his eyes has to be a horrific memory. I'm with Dugh ... a week is so far away!

Chapter 4 “Is that him?” Tommy whispered, conspiratorially. Merrick looked up. Sure enough, there he was … Jenson. He was even more handsome than in Merrick’s dreams, which had become increasingly more graphic in the last couple of years. He watched as Jenson moved from group to group. He was wearing a suit today, instead of his usual black pants, boots, and long black jacket, which Merrick knew could hide a variety of weapons. The suit was likely worn in deference to the fact this was

Rob really is a man with a plan I really like the conversation between the brothers. I agree with Gary, Rob is pushy in a good way. He just wants his brother to be happy. I figured that Eric would be worried that he was going to feel like he was being singled out. He and Nelson are pretty introverted so that would be a concern. I think, in the end, he is going to have a great time though ... and both he AND Nelson might get lucky (Oh and Rob is awfully interested in his brother's sex life with another guy ... just putting that out there haha)

I think those were the most touching lines for me. He hurt your heart but the spirit of who you are is still strong. I hope that this will help you purge those memories so they have less power over you now.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CYNUS!!

Big Mike is a man of few words, but when he speaks you'd best listen. I have no doubt that if Mark screws up and hurts Nate again there will not be a corner of this world that will be far enough away to protect him from Big Mike's wrath. I think that both Mark and Nate needed to hear what Big Mike had to say. For Mark, it was a reminder of what was at stake and for Nate, it would be reaffirming for him to know he has such a fierce advocate on his side. I was a little surprised by the decision to move back to Ontario, but I guess in order to let go of the business and concentrate on the family it was the best choice for them, even if the girls might not like leaving their friends. After everything that happened in the church group and at the school, changing schools might not have helped Nate, since a lot of the kids in his current school probably also live in his neighbourhood. Nate's concern about being resented was valid. In his eyes none of this would have happened if he wasn't gay and he is afraid that his sisters will blame him for having to leave their friends and his dad will resent him for having to give up the business he built. Kudos to Mark for quickly reassuring his son that none of this was his fault. It was a great chapter, Gary. There were tears and there were smiles ... and even some redemption thrown in for good measure.

Haha I think we have a theme going Merrick does seem to have quite a crush on the big vampire. As I told Tim, you'll find out more about the brown eyed male if you are patient with me. Thank you for the review and the support

I love that this story has you engaged enough to come up with theories I can't tell you who the brown male is, unfortunately, but you will find out if you are patient with me I agree with you about Merrick and Jenson. I think if Jenson found out about the crush he might have distanced himself from Merrick Thank you for your support and your great review Tim

Well that would have been scary, especially the near rape. I can see however why Hudson doesn't believe what's going on. Who is this caretaker? Is this lupoid a man that changes? How has Hudson been marked? Why is Chris still being such an ass to him? So many questions.

Hudson has that sarcastic humour I can relate to. lol: Must have been tough to tell Chris how he felt only to be soundly rejected, and now he has to put up with having the guy acting like a rude, jerk even across the room. I assume there is a story to the guy who went missing on camping? Can't wait to see what scary place you take that

Thank you Def I'm enjoying writing the flashbacks. I agree, I think Merrick had something important to tell J. The person wasn't being killed as much as restrained and sedated, but you will have to be patient with me before you find out more. Thank you for your review and your support. I appreciate it.
