A pickup truck? I somehow didn't expect Dev to be riding a monster pickup truck, but okay. XD

Elijah sounds like he's living a pretty...oh, I don't know what word to use. "Messed-up" sounds too harsh, "troubled" sounds too sad. An undisciplined life? He doesn't have a job, doesn't have money but needs it. He doesn't seem to know how to budget, and when he did think about going to look for a job, he went to take a nap instead. He could use some structure, direction, and purpose in his life, I think.

Andirac? Andi is short for something? :D

I started correcting your usage of "lay" and "laying" instead of "lie" and "lying" in the first two paragraphs of the second part, but then I confused myself so much that I couldn't make any sense out of any grammar anymore. This page has a nice explanation of the difference between "to lie" and "to lay": http://www.getitwriteonline.com/archive ... lielay.htm

I think I have a crush on Andi or something, haha. Even when Cate just mentioned them, I was all like, "Yyyaaayy~" No pressure, but I can't wait for the next chapter to come out! :D

Hi, Arkhaion! Happy Review Day!!
I haven't read the beginning of this story.. yet. I just jumped right into this chapter. So while I was obviously a tad confused, I still thoroughly enjoyed it! After this review, I can't wait to read all the chapters before this one.
I'll start by saying I really like the descriptions. I can totally picture what's happening!
The characters are also awesome. I really like Cate! You have developed them well.

I didn't see any spelling/grammar errors!

Still closed, still closed, he repeated in his head,

But this bothered me a bit. I know that Elijah is repeating this in his head, but the way it was written confused me a bit. It's probably just me though. But here's a suggestion on how you could change it "Still closed, he repeated in his head." I don't know, it was probably just me, so it's your choice about it. :)

Overall, I loved this chapter and I can't wait to read more of your work!



Why should Caesar just get to stomp around like a giant while the rest of us try not to get smushed under his big feet? Brutus is just as cute as Caesar, right? Brutus is just as smart as Caesar, people totally like Brutus just as much as they like Caesar, and when did it become okay for one person to be the boss of everybody because that's not what Rome is about! We should totally just stab Caesar!
