I apologize!<br /><br />Thanks, I always planned for them to be linked to each other in one way or another, but I didn't know how I was gonna pull it off. Your reactions tells me I've succeeded. AWESOME!!<br /><br />Raven is a man with heart. Then he became a vampire with a heart. Then Lillian and Camilla happened and he lost it! Being with Marina brings back parts of the man/vampire he used to be. But he promised to kill her, so... will he? War is here, so it's either kill her or be with her... what's it gonna be? Stay tuned!<br /><br />That's Rinka's link to the twins; being Marina's half sister. It all happened during a reunion night of Jean and Jacob, emotions ran high, ambitions were low, I think there was a bit of booze as well, don't really remember. 1 + 1 = Rinka!<br />Uncle Jacob is death, yes, car crash! Chadd is Charlotte's brother. Marina's brother has been MIA from the army or navy... Man, I'm writing the story and I can't remember which one? (have to back-track)... They're about ready to pronounce him dead.<br />The house is different (Lost the previous one), but other than that... nope. Dad and brother 'dead' and Chadd is Charlotte's brother. Confusing, not really... Just scratch Marina's father and brother off the list and you are good to go!<br /><br />Of some sorts. Iden woke up because everything has been thrown to the dogs. So he's not really here because of the war. Calum vs Raven vs Iden is a 'probable maybe', but Calum vs Lillian is a 'definitely'.<br />Hahahaha, you think Iden should lay it on Lillian... hmm, not bad... not bad at all! I like it!<br />That's a good question. Why would Cam urge her on? I am sooo not telling!<br />Was it Calum? Yes, it was! Is that what you want me to say? Haha, not gonna!<br />Asking too many question... is there such a thing? Feel free to clad my screen with them, they fuel me!<br /><br />Thanks for reading/catching up/ forgiving me! :)Jean-Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10197541538215744061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-722839813625575007.post-62972649727130734042014-01-18T08:50:45.647-08:002014-01-18T08:50:45.647-08:00No! no no no no no!!! You can't just leave it ...No! no no no no no!!! You can't just leave it there!!! Where's the next update?? C'mon you can't leave us all hanging... and for sooooo long. Hmph! I... I don't know. I have no words. This is your biggest cliff hanger yet. And because I love it so much, I'll forgive you ;)<br /><br />Okay so... Now that I'm all caught up. Wow! There's so much to take in and my mind is still blown by how everything fits perfectly. AWESOME back story. <br /><br />I feel super bad for Raven. First he loses his family and the love of his life, then he goes all beast mode and now, just when he has found love again, he has to suit up for war. All while trying to decide if he should pursue his love or kill her - as he had promised himself. Pst Raven, if I were you I'd protect Marina - love over murder, bro!<br /><br />As for Rinka.. I mean, I knew she was somehow maybe related to the twins. I did not expect her to be Marina's half sister. So how did that happen exactly? And what happened to Uncle Jacob? Is he even dead? And... that dude Chadd. That's Marina's brother??? Isn't it? It has to be. I dunno... coz the house is different. But they could've moved... and then stuff happened and he and Uncle Jacob disappeared. <br /><br />And are we going to see a Mexican stand-off of sorts? Calum vs Raven vs Iden? Ooh that would be epic! And as for Lilian...I think she just needs a good lay by Iden. Life's too short to hold grudges.. even if you are immortal and have centuries to brood over the past. Like I can't blame her, but if Raven didn't kill Camila then why is she urging Lilian on from the grave? Was it Calum who killed her? Am I veering off track now? Am I asking too many questions? I am, aren't I? Okay I'll stop.Trish (Acid)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05157822101535941627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-722839813625575007.post-30456453293418307222013-12-02T09:21:43.224-08:002013-12-02T09:21:43.224-08:00Yeah, now you can actually tell why she's so b...Yeah, now you can actually tell why she's so bitter and cold when it comes to vampires. It's all very personal!<br />The turning of Alex woke up Iden, the other Elite. And lol, it's not a she! It's Raven's older brother. You have met him actually... butt-nekkid in the park... ring any bells?<br /><br />You might see the entire package that is -Raven- now that he doesn't have to pretend anymore. His only worry was Marina being afraid of him after learning who he is, but so far that hasn't happened, so he is free to be himself now!<br />Yes, Aeon, we are going to war! Which seat would you like?? Box, Below, or center stage?<br /><br />Oh yeah, Robot-ninja, definitely takes the cake!<br /><br />Thanks for reading Aeon!Jean-Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10197541538215744061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-722839813625575007.post-71993915977054507292013-12-01T00:19:00.470-08:002013-12-01T00:19:00.470-08:00Whoa that Lillian knows how to get revenge D: sad ...Whoa that Lillian knows how to get revenge D: sad backstory there! As for Chase, I wondered if the Alex thing would impact the rest of them somehow later and it did! It seemed too significant to just go away and now this Iden character is awake...hmm..can't wait to meet her!<br /><br />Raven is completely different now! I wonder how much of him was just playing a role and how much of him was really him now! Looks like war is inevitable! A Vampire war! What can be better than that? (Robot-Ninja War?)<br /><br />Looking forward to the next one!Aeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18103860984381123885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-722839813625575007.post-54470705001949965302013-11-29T06:15:56.543-08:002013-11-29T06:15:56.543-08:00Yeah, if I say so myself. Raven's past was pre...Yeah, if I say so myself. Raven's past was pretty much the glue to most of the storylines in Tamed. That conversation will be interesting indeed, but Rosalie is a tough one, I doubt she'll be shaken by any approach the twins come up with!<br />Binny has quite a few secrets of her own. She's a lower-level witch (healing magic) and is part of the supernatural world, so a vampire in her home isn't that strange to her. She knew they existed. All this time, Binny was the only one in the house that was suspicious about Raven. Now she knows she was right to do so! Raven has been there for a while, but she is not happy about Chase being there. He calls Raven master, so she won't do anything rash while Raven is in the area, who knows what he's capable off? Sure she's shocked, if all you can do is healing, two vampires in your home can do that to you!<br /><br />If Marina ran from this bunch, no one would be able to protect her and she'd be gift-wrapping herself for Calum! Her magic isn't activated yet, she needs Rosalie to do that since she's the one that made it dormant. Or maybe if the twins are strong enough they can help lift it! You're right, even if she gets back into it, when will she practice?? The war is practically on their door step!<br /><br />Haha, yes, Chase is Raven's lackey! He was too badass in itself to be tied to Calum, oh no, Raven is his guy! Which is why Calum could only threaten him with the sword. His mindcontrol over Chase is weak!<br />It's only a matter of time now. Raven can be himself around Marina now and has his right-hand man, Iden is awake and Calum is closing in on Rinka! Clock is ticking!<br /><br />Thanks Deej!Jean-Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10197541538215744061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-722839813625575007.post-28650861242315833072013-11-29T04:10:55.435-08:002013-11-29T04:10:55.435-08:00Wow! That was a lot to take in!
Well Raven now kn...Wow! That was a lot to take in!<br /><br />Well Raven now knows the connections he has with the twins and Marina and now they know about his past! It'll be an interesting conversation with Oma haha I can only imagine the series of questions they'll have about her keeping this secret! And Binny didn't seem at all that shocked to have a few vampires in her home. She seems to be keeping secrets of her own or was just too shocked by the whole thing to really mind.<br /><br />I can only hope that Marina isn't too set on running away though. There's much for her to learn and she has to get used to her magic and everything and there's really not much time considering the war is on between vamps and hunters and everyone is looking for her and her Rinka!<br /><br />And aww Chase is devoted to Raven? That's badass! I never bought him as Calum's watchdog. He needed to be with someone just as tough as him and I think Raven is a better match at that! I can't wait to see what all the brothers get up to and now with the impending war...dun dun dunnnn!DaijahVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03685128767947355934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-722839813625575007.post-59277574849424614172013-11-27T08:04:57.973-08:002013-11-27T08:04:57.973-08:00It's a lot, I admit!
Okay, let's see!
Mar...It's a lot, I admit!<br />Okay, let's see!<br /><br />Marina wasn't even dreaming about being born when all of this happened. We're talking steamboats and candle-lit streetlamps! Camilla had been dead for little over a year when he met Rosalie in the Victorian era, so his pain was genuine. Raven never went to look for the witches of the prophecy, he just lived his life and hoped he'd be the one to bump into them.<br /><br />The fact that she -may- be a witch, was thrown at her in this chapter, by Raven when he figured out which prophecy they were talking about, so she has something to think about now. It would give me the reason to side with him. I would start questioning everything ever said to me by family.<br /><br />The family-tree is in your FB pm-box. It's not really finished, so I haven't shared it yet. But you're in need of clearing up the "kissing-cousins" dilemma! (PS: they did a lot more than kissing) Be assured, Rinka is family because she's Marina's half-sister, Love-child of Jean and Marina's father Jacob. Damian is from Jean's husband Rezno, so no relation to the twins.<br /><br />In the jumble of theories there, you have managed to find the two key ingredients to what really happened. It has something to do with the feeding, and something to do with foul play, but not necessarily in the ways described above. I don't think Lillian would kill her only living relative over something as feeding a vampire. She was all she had, and Lillian became a hunter after Camilla's death; using it as a fuel-point to keep going... vengeance. If she indeed killed her sister over something like that and then strives to avenge her, she is one fucked up psycho. I'll have her compete with Seth if it turns out that way!<br /><br />The ENTIRE family. The three brothers are all that's left of the O'Connor name... Trust me, my mind is itching to plan her death, but she's still immortal. And with almost no one knowing HOW Camilla, another immortal, died, they can't use it on Lillian. Lillian took it out on the wrong people, that's why she can't get enough. Raven is who she hates most, but since his brother Iden is Leader, it's only natural she'll have to go through him first!<br /><br />Makes you wonder. How long can an immortal hold a grudge???<br /><br />If you think of anything more, I'm all ears :)<br />Thanks hon!Jean-Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10197541538215744061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-722839813625575007.post-70723347909581362182013-11-25T13:50:09.281-08:002013-11-25T13:50:09.281-08:00OK I've had some time for this all to sink in ...OK I've had some time for this all to sink in (sorta)<br /><br />I don't think Raven was really hurt, maybe it was all a set up to get to Marina? She still has to learn she's actually a witch too right? So far that part hasn't really been mentioned or did I miss it (I do that sometimes :/) Anyway once she learns of that fact, cuz I'm thinking right now she doesn't know, I think she's gonna be pissed because her family has lied to her and suppressed her powers. More reason to side with Raven.<br /><br />Ok so I need you to break down the family tree for me. Rinka is the twins cousin and Damien is her brother, sooooo....um how is it that he ISN'T related to the twins? I'm just saying the more I think about it the more it seems they are kissing cousins at this point. <br /><br />I feel bad that Raven lost his wife like that. I am thinking it had to do with the feeding. Not that he took too much, but the distance. She would get depressed when he left or they were apart for a while, so with him gone I think she died from the loneliness. (the romantic-ish view) the other view is foul play. Lilian is crazy, but would she be crazy enough to kill her sister because she didn't approve of her allowing Raven to feed from her. <br /><br />but man Lilian wiped out an entire INNOCENT family but she wants to make the vamps out to be the bad guy. I'm hoping she dies. Sorry but I do. What she did was low and majorly fucked up and then she had never gotten enough. This is a rage and grudge she's held for way too long now. <br /><br />think I covered it all now. if not, I'll add to it later.jazenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02791862222656796075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-722839813625575007.post-13482948888953466472013-11-21T06:23:22.341-08:002013-11-21T06:23:22.341-08:00You and I are in the same boat actually (row, girl...You and I are in the same boat actually (row, girl, row). Because I'm writing it, I can't choose who to side with...<br /><br />Okay, let me help!<br />1 prophecy, 2 witches. One for the vamps, one for the hunters! Raven wouldn't have to kill both witches. To prevent the hunters from getting one, he could eliminate one of them. Problem is no one knows which one of them goes where, so he opted for killing both! Easier for him! Difficult now, since Marina is one of them!<br /><br />How did Camilla die... that's the million dollar question. She's supposed to be immortal, so what happened?? Raven fed on her and left for business. He came back to her dead on the floor. His marks in healing process, still on her neck... But he's fed off of her before, so he knows that's not the cause...<br /><br />He is the Beast sadly. People do crazy things in moments of grief, he's a vampire... so taking the cake - it is!! He lost a part of himself when he lost Camilla. He probably fits a bit more in the Elite family when it comes to ruthlessness now...<br /><br />Thanks for reading hon!Jean-Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10197541538215744061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-722839813625575007.post-69714308521435094562013-11-21T06:02:38.171-08:002013-11-21T06:02:38.171-08:00Haha, breathe in - breathe out!

I can see all of them. I'm worried about Rinka. I don't understand why Raven would need to kill the witches. Something to do with what the prophecy is about? Obviously, but I wanna know. I'm sure you've left clues somewhere....<br /><br />Poor Raven to have lost his wife like that... and someone who would've lived forever with him. How did she die? Raven said that he was coming Back from somewhere and he mentioned the healing marks on her neck from where He bit her.... but was he the one to do it?<br />I hate that he's the Beast of New Orleans. :( People do some crazy stuff when they're in mourning, but that takes the cake.mypalsim1https://www.blogger.com/profile/08612512921461620603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-722839813625575007.post-39474658092686098382013-11-21T05:35:10.668-08:002013-11-21T05:35:10.668-08:00Was that a cliffy? Maybe I've been having so m...Was that a cliffy? Maybe I've been having so much of them I can't really tell anymore... Sorry hon!<br /><br />Rinka and Marina are actually equally important to the prophecy. Rinka just has a search-light pointing at her because Calum doesn't know who the other witch is, Marina!<br />Raven was going to kill MARINA!!! He said he would kill the witches of the prophecy if he ever met them, so the prophecy would be void. Anything that threatens family and vamps in general is a nono, so the witches had to go! Now he can't do that because he's pretty attached to Marina! Lol, the last question I won't answer!<br /><br />Drank to death by vampire... Hmm, I wonder what color ghost that is? Or what it would say on the tombstone! Hahaha, no, he hasn't! It wouldn't be the first time his phone was left in the car, so yeah, maybe!<br /><br />Yup yup yup yup yup! *wink*<br />Binny is a witch (if you remember Marina telling you that), so supernatural doesn't really shake her. Plus Chase calling Raven master means he wasn't a burglar LOL. Marina is the one that should be curled up in a corner, so props to her she's not... but then again, she hasn't really been threatened yet, so...<br /><br />Oooh, nononono! Haha, yeah, now you know why I'm so attached to him. He's had it hard. Vampire and a hard life don't really go so well. If I break down, I cry and cuss. If he breaks down, half a town dies, so yeah!! He really did love Camilla, poor thing!<br /><br />Thanks Gemma! *^__^*Jean-Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10197541538215744061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-722839813625575007.post-15243693737160412642013-11-20T11:06:51.194-08:002013-11-20T11:06:51.194-08:00Wow my head is spinning sooo much to take in.....S...Wow my head is spinning sooo much to take in.....So he wasn't turning her and she got killed in case, how sad :(<br /><br />So much more going on can't comment on because as I said need to digest the info<br /><br />Great update though :)Lckygrl1975https://www.blogger.com/profile/00651487110014309878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-722839813625575007.post-36003877845656939352013-11-20T09:57:02.787-08:002013-11-20T09:57:02.787-08:00AH!

Hopefully just innocent 'left my phone in my car', rather than he's been drank to death by a vampire...<br /><br />Master Raven, eh? Well, he could be my master any day ;)<br />haha!!<br />I'm kinda surprised how well Binny took that whole scene, considering she didn't get a description of anything, just a man breaking into her house, and the weird guy they found in the woods threatening to kill him. Marina is doing well, too. Considering she had no idea about any of this until a few hours ago.<br /><br />Oooh.....

He could get to Rinka, but that means getting away from Marina. He'd rather lose Rinka than Marina, he's that selfish when it comes to her, make no mistake. Besides, hope is not lost for Rinka! He's been around the girls long enough to know that Rinka, being part of the family, won't be an easy breeze when it comes to Calum's lackies.<br /><br />Well, nothing about the hunter made him disregard the vampires rules. Just the fact that Raven, NOT Calum is his master. That alone gives him the freedom to not do everything Calum says. The hunter was just the male-part of him speaking. He wanted to know if it was possible, plus... her blood was delicious! :P<br /><br />Thanks Zhip!Jean-Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10197541538215744061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-722839813625575007.post-71967775941475454662013-11-18T12:00:13.846-08:002013-11-18T12:00:13.846-08:00*gleegleeglee* haha....

He is being what he has always been, out in the open. No longer just an observant sleeper. But the real sleeper seems like he is going to be a real handful to handle. Raven better hurry and get to Rinka before Calum does...Chase's words about the hunter were also really odd. What was different that would make him disregard the vampire rules?
