Hi everyone! It's Vesper here! I've recently gone to school (yey I'm finally , so I'm updating a little less, and I've been a bit preoccupied lately. However, I wanna update a bit more. I've been very inspired, so I want to change the storyline a lot, and I will be editing the previous chapters. I look back and most of my writing was terrible and trying to seem more descriptive when I'm clearly horrible at writing at the moment. So that's what will be going down, and I have almost finished the next chapter. I've recently been developing more and more of my characters' back stories, and mainly Nightshade and Malik. Hopefully this storyline will now be more dramatic and just better. I also apologise to RubixPsyche. I'll have to change large parts of our role play to fit this new storyline, and I thank you once again for helping me so much.

To everyone who entered my contest, I have decided the who the winners are. Believe me, it's was EXTREMELY difficult. They were all so good! You wowed me with your creativity and ability to write. I should just let you take over this book XD Nah, jk jk. Anyways, please remember, I am judging based on creativity and how interesting it would be to have this particular character in my series, though of course the story itself does matter a lot. An important thing to mention is that by letting me put your character in my story, I should not be pressured to be influenced by anything you do outside of this storyline, and that only the personality and perhaps designated backstory will be featured in this book. I have full permission to kill off (don't worry, I won't do it really quickly and will probably pm you just to make sure) your character. I also have to change the back stories, because as you may have noticed, I said winners. There are more than one, because I could not decide, and I am changing my storyline as well, so I may have to change aspects of your entry. Cool with all that? I hope so, but if you really don't want me to do something, that's fine, just comment below or pm me.

So the top tied winners are that will have their character featured on The Hunted are: RainbowSnowflakeRS and bettkins7wp! Sorry for tagging you and ruining the surprise, I had to make sure you see this. Astrophel and Pallynne (sorry if the name spelling is wrong) are going to be featured in The Hunted! When, I'm not sure. Whenever the chance presents itself, I suppose. Your entries were both amazing, as were the other entries, but the characters just stood out so much.

Zahra, I love how Astrophel is form another world, and misunderstood to be a glitch and hunted as well. It brings an interesting aspect to the story, and I can imagine his frustration when no one believes him. I also really like his complicated personality, and his grimdark side as well. How unpredictable he is ties in well with the plot, and his luma Comet is certainly a memorable companion. Feel free to suggest ideas!

Betty, I am so impressed with the language and flow of the story! I was so shocked when Pallynne abandoned her friend and became a hunter, it was an instant winner! Pallynne just wants to have a good life as a hunter, just like many. What's so evil in that? Her nice personality clashed with the fact that she is a hunter, but she's a great friend just like anyone. Feel free to suggest ideas!

Sorry for the long chapter, and the delay as well. Congrats to the winners, and thank you so much to everyone who entered, all the entries were AMAZING. Stay tuned for the edits and the next chapter!
