Well, then, here's Chapter II.

This is all new writing, BTW, and not from the story I wrote long ago, although I resurrected the title. It's been so long I really have no recollection of the characters or plot from the old one.

I hope ya'll like this bit. It's not quite so action packed as the beginning. But then, what is?

Edit: if anyone finds that I am splintering off the storyline too far, do not be shy about pointing me in the right direction. Earlier is better as far as that goes, cuz I am trying to build a plotline in my head, and the sooner I am able to get corrections incorporated, the smoother it will go.
