A fakeout on Angel.. hopefully the newly released Demons will crash the place.. And save that damsel in distress-Buffy. Can't wait until they go to blows about her.. Enjoyed

Author's Response: Thanks Pam. Yeah, let the battle begin!

Way to jump to conclusions, Buffy. Great chapter.

Author's Response: Thanks! Yup, this is still our Buffy

De, Thanks so much for updating. I have been anticipating this chapter. By the way, you are very talented. I love your fics. You are one of the most damn talented writers on here!! Never doubt yourself for a minute. That is one of my probs. I am still writing and not posting. MAYBE SOMEDAY. lol.. If I had your talent I wouldn't think twice.

Buffy can be such a judgmental bitch most of the time. Geez....Spike is love's bitch. I hope Buffy is feeling like shit right now cause she really should be. I hope Spike doesn't lose his concentration in battle and wind up getting hurt because of our favorite bitchy heroine. Then again, Buffy will have to offer up some of her slayer blood again. Hmmm... Love your story. Glad to hear you are going to be updating your others.

Author's Response: SpikesGirl, I blush! I've received so many wonderful reviews from everyone and yours is no different. And what I've learned from my break, is if you want to share a story, share it. Don't let self-doubt or reservations stop you. Enough of preaching! As for Buffy, yeah she is judgemental. Part of me can completely understand, the other part...not so much. But it's hard not to be judgmental when everyone she relies on are. Xander, Giles, even Willow. My other stories will be updated, but unfortunately I can't say when.

So glad you're back. This chapter was a well=learned lesson. Love how you're building them together.

Author's Response: Thanks Iris! I'm glad to be back too! I enjoy building their relationship, I feel the longer it takes to build, the stronger it will be

So good to see you updating again. :)
When I thought that Spike killed the human I'd thought all was lost, regarding Buffy trusting Spike. Good to know that the human is still alive - and it changed Buffy's mind.
Yes, Spike needs to feed but killing humans (that Buffy thinks as innocents) won't do with the slayer that protects humans.

Author's Response: Thanks Cordy! Yeah, even though he did at the beginning, Spike has started to change and he knew Buffy wouldn't be too happy him killing. But, on the same token, Buffy is starting to accept he is a vampire that needs to feed, but will not kill. Compromise is needed for these two to be able to work together

Yup, Spike's a vampire. Vampires drink blood. This shouldn't have come as a surprise to Buffy... however the situation forced her to acknowledge her own judgemental attitude towards him. Wonder where he's been dragged off to before he's fully healed...

Author's Response: *insert evil laugh here* just keep reading you will soon find out where he was being dragged off to!

welcome back! :)
loved the update... as expected, Buffy was feeling angry at him - she thought he had a choice at feeding - but she jumped to the conclusion too soon. and now the apology did not come and it was already too late by the time they dragged him away again.
i hope the chill between them shall warm up again when he comes back...hopefully he'll want to listen to her anyway.. :)
great update! can't wait to read more soon :)

Author's Response: Well, this is Buffy we're talking about. even though she is going through this, she is still her. Thanks for the welcome back, glad to be here!

Seems that the crew in the real world is gradually becoming aware that things really are not good. And Adam is still a threat wondering in the world. Seems as though we need to find a few super beings, pronto. Hope things are still survivable in captivity. Update soon! Want to see what Buffy does about Spike feeding!

Author's Response: more will be coming soon!!! What is happening now was similar to what happened in the Yoko Factor; people divided don't stand as well as together.

I think you are developing one of the richest pieces on this site. I can't wait to see how Spike handles Angel. If only the real series could have developed these wonderful characters the way we wanted them to be instead of doing everything to ruin them. Thank you!!!!!

Author's Response: *blushes* I am so flattered you feel this way. If I may toot my own horn, I feel I have come a long way in my writing in the past year, but I STILL HAVE SO MUCH FARTHER TO GO! I'm pleased, I have really touched you as a reader, and I appreciate your reviews. Now, for Spike handling Angel...mmm...wait and see! And THANK YOU for reading!

Interesting to see what's going on on the 'outside'. Things going a bit differently without Buffy there to help...

Author's Response: Even though most people want Spuffy centric stories, I feel they don't live in a bubble(well, they may if that's part of your story LOL) So I feel it is important to show the rest of those involved in this crazy world! Plus, if I didn't write about what's going on, on the outside, people would question: doesn't anyone realize Buffy's gone?

Hello, small request to all Buffy fanfic authors...........lets drop the damnable "resolve face" thing, it abruptly sucker punched me out of the story flow. It was something funny mentioned 1 or 2 times......now with it's over use i imagine poor willow out of the blue slapping some mask on her face on que.

Author's Response: Sorry Londonian, in all the stories I have written that was the first time that I referred to the 'resolve face'. Hopefully, you were able to continue on and enjoy the rest of the story.

I have been so waiting for this story. It's really good. The imagery brings the story alive. I can't wait until they can escape.

Author's Response: Thanks so much SpikesGirl. I'm glad that you are enjoying my story. More will be coming!
