Oh, Neal...

Stopping there makes you kind of evil, you know. Enjoying the story and looking forward to the final part! :)

Oh, I totally know I'm evil :D

Thank you so much!

OMG, this chapter is simply exquisite ♥ It's disturbing and creepy and it just makes me keep chanting yes, yes, yes because Rachel is soooooo evil and I love it *hides :P*

Poor Neal, awww... He was so trying to be defiant and not give in, and I'm still in shock how Rachel was still able to manipulate him, to break him in the end with such a surgical precision *shudders*

I'm just so happy there was still enough fight left in him to reach out to Peter through the paintings, that was amazing. And most importantly, it worked!

But seriously, poor Peter, he finally found Neal only to witness him getting shot, awwww.

This is such an evil cliffie, perfect for the story, heee :D

I LOVE THIS! But you already know that \o/

Awww, thank you! :D This was the chapter I was least confident about, in regards to the stuff with Rachel working, so I'm really happy that you liked it! ♥ It was really interesting to think about how to write her keeping Neal prisoner.

And I'm really cruel to both of them in this fic, yep *gg*

Thank you so much, again! :D

Ooh, another good chapter! :) Though more cliffhanger-ish this time, darn your hide... ah, well, I suppose I can wait patiently for the end (considering I have no choice and all). ;)

Thank you very much! :D I'll be posting the last chapter on Saturday :)

Um, oh, what ?!
Really didn't expect that, from the beginning of the kidnap set up, to Rebecca shooting him. This is very original, can't wait for the 3rd part :)

Thank you very much! I'm happy I managed to surprise you :D

OK, so I wasn't expecting that. I hate that she was able to control Neal so well (Yes, I know drugs are an evil witches' best friend) and actually make him care for her. Thank goodness he still maintained the where-with-all to signal Peter through his paintings. Really looking forward to the next chapter to see what grand scheme she had in her evil little head to be able to shoot Neal in so cold-hearted a manner. And poor Peter.............Nice job! (I'm trusting Neal is going to be OK)
