I like the premise of this story and Buffy's background and how it is explained. I'm not sure Buffy's behavior is very realistic or reasonable, though. I'd try to give more sentences into her thought processes and why she is deciding to be around Spike, even feeling a chill or foreboding and then pushing it away instead of her wandering through whatever actions you want her to be in without motive or thoughts, or else making it more clear if her mind is hazed or being guided by a thrall. Also, I'm not sure if you were talking about rape in the earlier part of this chapter or about Spike taking blood whether she was willing or not.
I'm looking forward to finding out more about what Spike wants from Buffy and what the relationship between Angelus, Darla, Drusilla, and William is in this universe.

Author's Response: Yeah, I admit I've kind of blanked out on this story a bit. I am keeping a lot intentionally vague as what is obvious to all of us, of course, regarding some of the characters is not yet obvious to Buffy. As far as Spike taking what he wants whether she's willing or not, I think he pretty much means anything he wants, sex and blood most likely included given his nature and his interest in her. I appreciate all of your comments! Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Hmmm, I don't know Pandie, i'm not liking spike to much in this fic right now . I 'm intrigued by it thiugh and will read more , but I certainly don't like the freak trio, they make me feel ill. Glad Buffy took off , let's see what happens sunday at dinner, update soon.

Author's Response: Yeah, but you don't completely hate him either, right? :) The dynamic is sort of complicated. I will admit, this is definitely the least lovable of my Spikes so far. We'll have to wait and see what's he's up to. The freak trio makes me pretty ill too. I just feel compelled to write them so sickeningly *gag*. Hope you like where I go with it, though! Thanks for reading and reviewing! :)

what will she do for him?!?!!?!?!? REALLY need to know what happens next!!! pretty please!?

Author's Response: You are in luck! I actually finally managed to get back to this story today and will hopefully have Chapter 4 up in the next couple of days. Thank you so much for reading and reviewing! :)

Intriguing. I like the story and I'm curious where it's going to go. Buffy's a little... wimpier than normal but it doesn't ruin the story.

Author's Response: Yeah, I don't think she's quite so timid normally. Just a bit intimidated by this odd group. I'm so glad you're liking the story! I really hope you like where I take it!

I don't get it? why did he invite her to a vamp party if not for dinner, literally and then go all protective and with the animal and the 2 sluts there n less. I like what yur writing and need more soon .

Author's Response: *big mysterious smile* All will be revealed with time. Glad you're still liking it!

Spike's question could be taken a dozen different ways! More please!

Author's Response: That's the beauty of it! :)

Interested in what happens next!

Author's Response: Thanks for reading and taking the time to review!

No mirrors, huh? No coincidence I'll bet. There are a lot of signs that show (points to) that they are vampires but if you don't know that you're clueless to understand this signs. Buffy has no clue.
Ah the blood. Cause a spontaneous reaction.
~ Looking forward to more; sounds interesting to find out how Buffy will find her place / hold her place in this group.

Author's Response: Clueless is an excellent way to describe Buffy at this stage of the game. Hope you enjoy where I take this story!

you should definitely continue with this one. It's intriguing and direct, no unnecessary background-history (that you usually skim anyway) and I love the ooc-but-not-ooc. update pronto!

Author's Response: Thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying the style! This is such a strange story for me to write. I had never really planned on writing a story with...special characters---but it gives me more to play with. Should be interesting!

The snippets of Spike's argument were interesting, makes me wonder what Spike's intentions were when he invited Buffy over... with Darla, Dru, and ol' Liam present poor Buffy is really in a vipers nest. Good update!

Author's Response: Thanks! Have several notes I've jotted (typed) on Chapter 3. Maybe I'll have a chance to type something up today.

Ok, definitely interested in this fic. I get the feeling that Buffy is getting herself into something pretty deep. Will she sink or swim? (Pun fully intended :) Looking forward to more!

Author's Response: Poor girl always plays it safe, and the one time she doesn't, she ends up with this crew. Can't wait to get to the next chapter with more interaction between everyone!

OHHHHH IS SPIKE A VAMPIRE!?!?!?! i LOVE this story and am so happy that u updated. im so glad that buffy is getting closer to spike and that youve introduced dru, darla and angel, though i hope theyre not evil or going to hurt her. i really hope that spike and her get closer and that spike doesnt hurt her or let anyone else hurt her.

Author's Response: Glad you're reading this fic! Hope you continue to enjoy it!
