Oh my gosh, you HAVE to update soon! Don't leave us hanging. *bites nails* Poor Spike, they just have to get to him on time.

Author's Response: Hi Francine!! Hope your nails survive!! Will update asap!!! :)

i hate s in that condition. i used to love everything to do with power and humiliation but somehow i have ground out of it (thank god). the whole thing is disgusting. you are not going to break him completely, a some authors do, are you? if you do i'm gonna... i honestly don't know what. but right now you are writing terrible things. i hate what is happening to him so much, that it almost made me stop reading and afterwards i didn't quite manage to enjoy the other parts of the story. i understand that you are going to write your story like it goes, not like readers want it to and i respect that. i would never give in to readers pleas o demands or blackmail, so that is not what my review is about. just letting you know how it made me feel.

Author's Response: Don't worry Serinah he won't be messed with too badly and it's not going to go on too long either! just wanted another aspect of loss of pride to add to the story. The next chapter is of a similar vein but then things happen!! So i hope you manage to keep reading even if you skip a few paragraphs! :) Trust me to make all well again *hugs*

That little glimpse of what is going on with Spike was heartbreaking. I was hoping that he was resisting the blood, however I know that pain can be a terrible thing which can cause a person to do anything to abate it.

I am glad that Brad chastised Moira and Angel. Also his reaction to Angel being a vampire was amusing. Please update soon. Another good chapter but I am ready for Spike to get the upper hand. Please, please, please.

Author's Response: Hi Bridget! Glad you liked how Brad reacted to it all! Will update asap. As i mentioned in another response - the respite will be in chapter or so's time - the next one tells a bit more of what Spike is experiencing!! :)

Oh great - now he's some kind of drug addict! Great way to move the healing process along and we finally know who the mystery stalker is. You are worse than evil, woman! But I still love you. *hugs* (And I have two more chapters to read!)

Author's Response: Funny how the word 'evil' keeps cropping up!!! Tee hee!!! just figured things were getting a little bland!!! lol!! thanks so much for letting me know! :)

Yup, I like Brad too...

Hate what's happening to Spike, tho. I can't believe he is already so hooked on the drug *pouts* What humiliations will he endure before they save him?

I think I'll start pulling on her hair now on!!! Fix this!!!

*hugs*

Author's Response: Just had scary vision of Sotia with no eyelashes or hair!!! Hurries away to type up next chapter for betaing!!! *big hugs* Won't be torturing you or Spike for too long I promise!! :)

yes, yes, yes!!! that's all I have to say. lol :)

Author's Response: Thank you , thank you, thank you!!! Tee hee!! :)

nawww. Angel and Miora, teehee. Lov e it!

Author's Response: Had to get those two together!! :)

Kind of disappointed that Moira and Angel are getting together. I guess truthfully, I don't really like Moira for some reason. And I like this Angel so I don't want to see him with her. Bring Nina back, LOL I love Brad though. How could I not. He is a great friend to Spike

And I read a review where you said that Angel can only have true happiness when it comes to Buffy because everybody else is second best. I disagree with you. I don't think Angel really was in love with Buffy. I think he was in love with the idea of Buffy. But even if he was really in love with her. I don't think his feelings are nearly as strong. He would probably always care for Buffy just like Buffy would always care for Angel. Also, think if the show let Angel and Cordy be together. That Angel would have loss his soul if he were to sleep with Cordy. I think the love Angel felt for Cordy was more mature and deeper.

I don't know about Moira. Maybe eventually if they stayed long enough together Angel might be really in love with her and lose his soul. But I also think now that he has Conner and that they are apart. Maybe, he will never be truly happy. Which I don't buy at all.

Anyways, I'm worried about Spike. Has he been sold yet. Probably will in the next chapter if they don't get him on time. Are they beating up my Spike? Who or What ass to have to kick for hurting my Spike, LOL

Author's Response: hi there! as i said in the rev it is just my take on it! I never liked Angel and Buffy together in the series but since they had the 'moment of pure happiness' in my (probably odd mind) it couldn't be achieved with anyone else. I never really bought the whole Nina thing myself as it just seemed knid of desperate of him!! (but the scene where she shredded him a bit when he was a puppet was hilarious!!) LOL Sorry that you don't like Moira but delighted that you like Brad!! :) That's the beauty of writing stories we all see things slightly differently and then chat about them!! Thanks so much for your comments! :)

Did I tell you I REALLY really like Moira and Brad also, I'm also glad that Angel's a nice guy in this fic and willing to tear Spike's abductor a new one if Buffy doesn't first. Can't wait for them to find him though and when they do he's gonna be a junkie , only your evil mind could think that one up, I think your certifiable, LOL. Update again soon because I drink myself into a stupor.

Author's Response: "I think your certifiable" - that's you and my best friend both!!! lol!!! Glad you like Moira and Brad - i love inventing orig characters and Moira's part just grew!! I know perhaps 'my' Angel may not be canon enough for some readers but i wanted them to get along in this fic! :) Will update asap in deference to your poor old liver!!! Tee hee! *hugs*

I liked that chapter and loved that she thought Angel and Spike were a couple. More please soon.

Author's Response: Hi nicka! Glad you liked the line about them being a couple - i could just picture his face!! lol!! Won't keep you waiting long! :)

oh, god!!! whatta hell are you doing to my spike!!! that's terrible! I can't express my feelings of fear, disgust and excitement. I hope you will not be breaking him totally. Please let him off the drug soon! I really do hope that whoever buys him will not give it to him just to torture hi. Though the demony fighting ring WITH the drug use and abuse is more likely. I hate the bounty guy.

Author's Response: Glad that you hate Nemol! he's pretty vile!! hopefully can speed up with the updates this week as work is a little less frenetic! :) thanks for reviewing!!! :)

ooh I can't look, hope Buffy gets to him before much longer, he's suffered enough

Author's Response: Hi there scaryscouse! I won't play too rough with him I promise!! lol!! :)

OH MY GOD, YOU JUST WENT TO A NEW LEVEL OF EVIL!!!

This... this is terrible, woman!!! How will he manage to escape? Oh, I know: HE PROBABLY WON'T!!! I hope Buffy and Angel get to him before he is sold! GUH, I wanna kick that half demon's ass!!!

No hugs today, I'm using my hands to pull on my hair!

Author's Response: Hey there Sotia! Was looking forward to your review!! LOL!! *bear hug* to trap arms and so stop pulling of said hair!!! :)
