Since the council has verified Ms Bennett's dealing with Hermes, can Buffy go kick her in her assets now?

Author's Response: Hee... very good question. I can't tell you the circumstances because I don't want to spoil it for you, but be assured that Ms. Bennett will get what she deserves... and it won't be pretty. ;) Thank you for the lovely review, Rose!!! :D

Love Buffy's foray into destruction. Such a true reaction to grief. And I'm glad she has Faith with her. Hope she can get to William soon. Vamp or not, I can't imagine him not still loving her. Update soon.

Author's Response: She was in a shock and due to her being the Slayer it threw her into the feral destructive state. She's still at the point when she can't really admit to herself that William is really dead and she can't change it. Faith will be probably the closest thing Buffy has to a friend right now. Nope, vamp or not, Buffy is still the most important thing in William's heart. :) Though thinking she's dead will drive him to do some things he probably wouldn't if he knew she were alive. More soon and thank you for the lovely review!!! :D

Hope you won't hate me for the following chapters. Because of killing Spike or Spike/other? *Off to the chapter to read.*

Yeah, definitely killing William (Spike). And the other thing coming too I guess.
Poor William - dying thinking Buffy will die too, that all will have been in vain. I wonder if (what) he'll remember when he is turned.

Author's Response: The whole having William murdered thing. *sheepish* But he's not dead... not really, so it's all better, right? Though they bth think the other is dead. :( Don't you worry about the 'other' thing... the only person William/Spike will ever love is Buffy and I'm not planning on anything graphic when it's not with each other. :) Just thought I'd put the warning just in case, since they will be some insinuations, not as much with Buffy as with Spike though. More tomorrow! :D You're such a lovely person for leaving me all those kind reviews, cordykitten... thank you!!! *hugs*

I do not sense Dru's action as that of evil more of doing what the powers truly want done. I can only hope that Buffy manages to at least get Ms. Bennett and wonder when the two shall meet up again.

Author's Response: You're right... it wasn't about her being evil, and I'll try to show more sides to both Dru and Darla. Hee... powers did want it done, in this case me. ;) Don't you worry, Ms. Bennett will get what she deserves in due time, sooner than Buffy and Spike will meet that's for sure. Thank you for the lovely review!!! :D

Oh then they weren't caught? Lucky ones. *wonders what that that was in Buffy's way.
Heh heh Buffy is such a tease. ;))
But how could William resist? That's just impossible. *ggg*
Late reading - hope to be earlier next time.

Author's Response: Hee... thought I'd be that cruel, did you? :P I didn't want them getting into trouble prematurely, it's much better to have them cuddle and try to pointlessly resist each other. lol You noticed the thingie, eh? ;) Can't tell you what it was but you'll se soon. *ominous sound* Good thing we don't want them to resist, right? I'm glad you read it at all and thank you for the delightful review!!! :D

I have been reading your story and have failed to review the prior chapters. This story is intriquing to me. The school is exceptionally creepy and so is the headmistress. I can't imagine how William will become vamped but it seems that you are alluding to Buffy being a slayer. I like William and Buffy together they are sweet. Very good story.

Author's Response: But you're reviewing now. :D See how amazing you are? I love reviews, I'm a review slut, really, so feel free to leave me one next time too if you feel like it. ;) I'm very glad you're liking it so far and you're right to think the school is creepy... shifty things going on in there as you could see. You'll actually get to know how he becomes a vamp in a couple of chapters and if Buffy indeed becomes the Slayer. Thank you for the yummy review, Bridget!!! :)

Love them carrying on. And I do wonder if they are going to get caught. Sure hope they don't. They've got a lot of Spuffy left to experience. Update soon!

Author's Response: I love it that you love it! :D You'll get to see if they get caught next week, but I can tell you there will be more Spuffy. ;) You're very sweet for leaving me the review, thank you!!! :)

Poor Buffy - for know she is happy to have met William. She didn't have much luck with her family yet. I enjoy their tale very much.
Uh-huh.huh... I feared the worst when they strolled in the kitchen for a midnight snag. And now it seems as if they are caught. *fingers crossed for the best*
Looking forward to more (soon?).

Author's Response: Even when she loses William, having met him gave her someone to feel close to since her mother and Ted are hardly creating a loving family. I'm happy you're enjoying so far, there will be more Buffy/William interaction soon. :) Strawberries and whipped cream come at a price... or do they?? ;) You'l find out soon (next week). Thank you for the wonderful review!!! :D

Destiny. Love the thought. Love their addiction to each other... in just a few days even. Hope they get to enjoy each other a bit before all hell breaks loose. Update soon.

Author's Response: And I love it that you love it. ;) It might feel to them that destiny has to be behind them feeling so connected to each other, but what happens when it tears them apart? There will be more sweetness before it happens though. :) And you know I'll make it better eventually. Thank you for the sweet review!!! :D

I love the characters you've created. I seriously reread chapters while I wait for more updates.

Author's Response: *grins* I'm happy you like this version of them. You reread the chapters? You're so awesome! :D Honestly, you just made my day. Thank you for the wonderful review, B!!! :D

The people of the city where the school is seem to be in denial too that they don't notice people vanishing.
Buffy and William are so sweet. :))
But just for now I guess, bad things will happen at this school.
And you're a tease but you knew that already, right? ;))

Author's Response: Yup, they definitely repress the strange going ons threre... something like Sunnydale people. lol Hee... I just want to ruffle their hair. ;) Badness will come and wreak havoc eventually. Of the supernatural nature. ;) Try enjoying the sweetness till it lasts. *evil laugh* Yeah, I am well aware of that. ;) Dunno, it just makes me feel naughty. Thank you for the yummy review!!! :D

I can't wait for more.

Author's Response: I'm happy to hear that! ;) Thank you for the sweet review, B!!! :)

Always wished Buffy was there to defend William/reassure him after Cecily's public trouncing of his heart and feelings. The outburst just gives us a smidge of what is to come out of Spike later. Since it's not Cecily that leads William to Dru (since I'm going to assume that Dru is the "soul sucker"), then it's got to be the heartbreak Buffy brings him later.

I'm liking the interplay between Buffy and William lots. Update soon!

Author's Response: I always feel so sorry for poor William every time I watch Fool For Love. He's just so heartbroken and humiliated and I feel about it just like you do. Great minds think alike and all that, right? ;) So of course I had to have Buffy be there for him as much as he would let her at this point. Hee.. the outburst was definitely that Spike part of William. ;) Love your speculations! :D But nope, it's neither. You'll see. More soon, promise and thank you for the amazing review!!! :D
