Oh right, you ended with a cliffhanger.
Saved by ghosts? Very unexpected help.
As was Dracula. Sounds as if he's right and Buffy was once his Elizabeth. That could be a reason for him to want Buffy for his own.
Wow, the rat experiment was scary.
Alec? Unexpected behavior and quick healing. And now he even could drink the acid without problems.
Speaking of:
Your chapter is too long, the rest is missing. Maybe making it two parts or post the rest with the next chapter.
I would indeed call Alec's stomach a heartier one.
And I don't think that's part of his British heritage ;-)

Author's Response: Thanks cordykitten! I've fixed it, and you can read the conclusion in Chapter Fourteen - Danger Part 2. I did double-check, but I guess my eye's pulled a whammy, before posting Deacon is requesting that I ask his loyal readers for their real names and e-mail addresses. Right now we have a PDF file of all the chapters edited together, with a "special" cover, that he would like you to receive. Also when Dusk concludes, you would receive a hand-signed PDF copy of the story as well. Please respond with your name and e-mail address (or private message me) if your interested (and I'm sure you will be, lol). - Rachelia, on behalf of Deacon.
