Sorry, ran out of hose disappearing "sixes"--but believe me when I say this deserves a six. Well written. For a brief moment I actually thought something would go right and Steve and Esther (still love that name) could steal away into the night without being caught--of course, that would've made for a dull ending leaving Doc to his own fate alone. Love the writing my friend.

Thank you so much. Your opinion means more than sixes, believe it or not. I appreciate your time and energy.
Comment from Mastery
Hi, Harriett. You certainly have a knack for writing this genre, I will give you that right off. You use strong verbs and show a ton of imagery...that's All so important in writing good stuff. Example:
"Then like a flash of light, he broke towards the guard, crashing into his side and knocking him to the floor. He adjusted his body to execute a head scissor lock, but was surprised how quickly the big man scrambled to his feet" (crashing, knocking, scrambling) all good
I must be honest with you I am not a sci-fi fan but this is good writing and has appeal regardless. Good job...Bob

I can never get enough of stories about magic and witchcraft-this was a lot of fun to read. The dialogue was really good, but I feel there should be more descriptions about the environment they are in.

Esther, with sadden(saddened) eyes
God send (godsend)
This was action packed! You created excellent atmosphere and tension throughout and the dialogue was believable. How are they going to get out of this situation? Can't wait to see what Doc has up his sleeve and how 'Lima' is important! I suspected that Madame Reece was not quite the lady she pretended to be. I think if Steven and Esther get out of this they will be an item. No-one else would put their life on the line for her. xxmouse

Thank you xxmouse for your critical eye and knowledge. Madame seems to be writing herself. I wanted her to be innocently screwing things up, but she had other ideas. LOL. I will make the corrections you suggested immediately. Blessings to you. Have a great weekend.

I have not read any of your previous chapter, but this one flowed at a good pace. You have a good plot and the characters are well developed. You even now have a human sacrifice.

Comment from The Stranger
I really enjoyed reading and reviewing this tale of mythology, I am a big fan of Lord Of The Rings, though this is in no way attempting to copy it, the same "magical aura" surrounds this, simply excellent

Hello amahra...
This is another edge of the seat kind of read. That Madame Reece is a very scary individual. I hope Steve and Esther can get away but it looks pretty grim at the moment. I find I'm quite wrapped up in your wonderful story.
Warmly, Rebecca

I enjoyed reading this chapter of your story, amahra! I like the way you ended this chapter with a lead in to the next one. I'm looking forward to learning more about the demon, are you going to bring that creature more into the next chapter?

Thank you Chuck. I'm not sure if it will be the next chapter, but I know I'll have to bring it in soon. Every time I try to end the chapter, I feel it is too rushed. But I think I will. Even I'm getting impatient. lol I'm glad you liked it.
