great story i was really enjoying it until Angel came into the picture! i hope to god you are not writing another one of those stories where buffy is raped by angel! its so over done, this story seems so far different and refreshing and by the looks of the plot so far if it goes that way its gonna be clique! which sucks cause it has the potential to amazing.

Author's Response: Well, I'm sorry you feel that way. I still like to think that I do things different, anyway. This may seem like it's been done before, but it's still new to me. I've never writen Angel like this before. I usually always make him the good guy, so I decided to change that for once. I was sick of using the same guys all the time. The next chapters are already written out, so I'm not planning on changing anything at this point. Sorry if this would cause you to stop reading or something. I guess I can't really please everyone.

From the way Buffy reacted to Angel I guess it was him that had something to do with it .. apparently he knows Buffy well. Loved that Buffy went to Spike when she feared Angel. ~ Looking forward to more :)

Oh No! Seems as if there is quite a bit more going on that caused some changes in Buffy than just her Father dying..Looks like Buffy is terrified of Angel. Of course I am wondering if he has forced her to have sex with him.. Betting that Spike will put two and two together before long..Great update!

Can't wait to find out why Buffy is afraid of Angel. Glad she is confiding in Spike. Great chapter!

great chapter. seems like spike & buffy are geting closer.

It seems that Buffy and Spike learn to know each others ;)!

So, here's Angel, Cordelia's boyfriend. Oddly (or not?) I feel that I will not like the character very much (or worse). And that I will be not the only one to feel this.

With what Buffy said previously about her first time, and the fact she seems scared by him... Well, 1 + 1 = 2, isn't it?

And the end of this chapter, full of threats ... "she couldn’t stay away forever, Angel would see to that"... I think that someone needs, and has to learn, that when girls say "No" it means "NO". And I think I know the perfect boy able to make him understand that, in a firm way...

Cool twist! I love that Buffy is talented like that in this story. It gives her so much more depth. Glad Spike is finally REALLY seeing her. The story about her Dad was so sad. I think it's pretty obvious why she quit playing.. Great update!

Buffy gets distracted through her own dream (thinking of it) *gg* ~ And I think Faith brought Spike to think after seeing Buffy's lingerie.. that not everybody is like he/she seems to be from the outside. ~ But apparently he begins to see her, really see her (when she was playing the guitar and they were talking later).

that was very sweet. I like dawn barging in too.

loved that update....good to see that they're getting along better...and he has her underwear...this is getting great...lookin forward to another chapter...hopefully soon.

Mmm Parker is Buffy's new Ex and Spike witnessed. And Buffy told him some truth about judging someone. But at last Faith was impressed *gg*. ~ And Buffy thinks it is wrong to want Spike? Yet she dreams about it ;-) ~ Loved the chapter.

And so the first seeds are being planted...hmm. Can't wait to see what's next.

Loved the way Buffy told Spike off! Interesting dream.....Great chapter!
