My only criticism: Please, actually spell out the word "and". Stop using "&" because it isn't proper to use in a story. If you can't be bothered to spell out something so simple, you are telling readers that you don't care about the quality of your writing. If you don't have a beta reader I recommend you find one.

True and I got a beta for chapter 4. Sorry but I've been unable to correct my previous chapters.
