Well, Eli is a centuries-old predator that looks like an angelic child, if she spent too long without scheming she would probably explode or something. :D
Well, for the first time in a long time, Eli has a family AND a real home. And in her child-like way, she doesn't want to give them up. Dawson, I think, is Eli's inspiration where scheming is concerned.

I just finished this. The ending is so sweet, Eli is finally reclaiming her childhood. It was a very enjoying ride, thanks a lot.

Thanks everybody! I really loved writing this. I like to think that Eli is one of those people who rolls with the punches and doesn't waste time feeling sorry for herself. I think she also knows instinctively that sadness is best experienced alone, but happiness isn't truely fullfilled unless you have someone to share it with. And god help anyone who gets between her and her new-found happiness . :twisted:

This was an enjoyable story. It's good that you found a way for Oskar to spend eternity with Eli without turning him into a vampire. If they were both vampires, I think it would take away part of what makes their relationship special.

Yes, she's plotting with the best intentions.

I enjoyed this story. Typical for kids like Eli and Oskar not to understand (or know how to deal with) the concept that people do get old and die, and their reaction seemed very natural. I wonder if Oskar will sneak a needle into the Professor? That was funny.

Maybe you'll have to write some more about their adventures in the U.K.

I hope that Eli will be very discriminating in her choice of victims in Britain. Else she could alter the succession to the throne. :o

As long as Dawson can keep the blood coming, the British subjects need have no cause for alarm...probably.

Thank God it doesn't have to be fresh, in the Morkiverse!

Hmmm! Royal Blood. Is Royal Blood to Eli like Royal Jelly to a Queen Bee? Interesting idea. :twisted: Super Eli!! :shock:

That was my thought. Their relationship has enough going against it without changing the basic dynamic between the two. (The preditor-prey dynamic? The powerful-powerless dynamic? The love-loneliness dynamic? The wimp-vampire dynamic? The worldly-innocent dynamic?) All potentially thrown off balance by Oskar being turned.
