Author''s note:
Okay, attempting dual protagonist is hard. And I''m attempting to do some rule breaking here, in regard to perspective. I know it breaks the rules, but I''m still trying to do it, for two reasons.
The first is because I feel this dual protagonist story requires the ability to see the thoughts of both Paige and Levi. Secondly, anything done well is simply done well, and the rules be damned.
That being said, I''m not sure how well I''m doing.
I also attempted practicing this with the entity in the first chapter... and there are other reasons why... but I may or may not edit that all out. There''s a few problem chapters I''d like to work on more, and the first chapter is one.
Let me know if you think the odd perspective situation is done well in the comments. It is something I need to fine tune.
