STORY: "What's the difference between love and devotion?"
Well...you can love many people but devotion is too deep and too strong to be shared. It is when the world is falling apart all around you and people think you're drowning in darkness because they don't see it. Her soul shining so bright that you are blind for everything but her. Your soul finds comfort only in her light and your body's only purpose is to make sure it never fades. It's almost...religious, extraordinary. You smile when you should be crying.

That's the way it's always been between sisters, Kaitlyn and Amelia.

Excerpt:
Reading back over the letters I should have realized that something was up.
I should have known that it wasn't her writing to me anymore but I guess the overwhelming pressure of exams had clouded my judgement. The change was gradual. Simple things, reading back, that I knew Amelia would never say or do. I guess the essence of my sister began to fade from the letters after she mentioned to me that her nightmares were getting worse, that they were starting to come to her as memories rather than figments of her imagination.
People keep telling me I'm being paranoid. My friends. Some who I've known longer than Amelia's been alive. How can they not see it? How can I make them see that these letters Aren't Hers.

Thank you ^-^

Teeny-Tiny update. Sprites incoming. (Yay )

Progress is slooooow (ugh). >.< Rl came up and bit me but now I'm getting back into the swing of things.

Family friend died and I'm the one wrapping up his estate. So that is taking preference over this. I will get back to this, apologies, but obviously won't be finished within the time schedule.
