loved the update but poor giles, mind you many be he won't be so rotten to spike when its all over

Author's Response: I know i did feel very mean doing it to poor Giles but it does mean i can have a lot of fun with it!! Thanks for saying you loved it. Had crap day and it's cheered me up! :)

Glad you are making Giles a victim too. I don't care for fics that make Giles a total bad guy, so it's good to have a reason for his actions. Great to see mid week updates.

Author's Response: Thanks Jan, Giles has been super good guy in all I've done up to now so had to do a little bit of bad with him but didn't want it to be all his fault if you know what I mean. I'm trying to update at least two to three times a week, time allowing! Thanks for the review. :)

Poor Spike... can't even stay in his old crypt now the was it is at the moment. I guess Buffy was out because he didn't see it? And then the nightmares... I wonder where they came from. Aftereffects from the Initiative (what they did)? I don't think that the beer was poisoned but who knows...
Hopefully he'll wake up from his nightmare soon. Buffy noticed that something is off.

Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing! We now need Buffy to the rescue!!! Watch this space!! :)

ooooo hehe i loved this chapter....hope you update again soon:)

Author's Response: Scribbling furiously my poor beta, Carol, is seriously overworked!! Tee hee!! Glad you loved it, was fun to write. :)

Oh I think they did more than put that bug in his head last time something so horrid they can give him waking nightmares ....I hope as Buffy is linked to Spike she'll be able to track him down to Revello Drive....

Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing!! Glad you liked it!! :)

No, things aren't going to be easier. Are they ever? Sometimes it seems no, they aren't.
Giles may have been worried but he has gone too far; sadly he doesn't see it this way.
Buffy thought there was more that was worrying Spike then that? I wonder what's the matter.
And his decision to go made both of them miserable now. Buffy should have kicked Giles out instead. The others seem to be okay with Spike.

Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing Cordyk! :)

Spike's just being noble because of the dream, isn't he? Silly, silly boy.

Author's Response: Hi Jan! How are you doing? He always tries to do right thing but never quite manages to pull it off! thanks for reviewing.

great story -

Author's Response: Thanks alot!! It's gonna be my longest fic I think! still got lots to do with them!!

Mabel , you cracked me up at the beginning of this chapter, wit Xander peeing against the mauseleum, so funny , brilliant girl. That dream Spike had is real ominous, not good , update soonest.

Author's Response: Hey Jo! Don't quite know where that bit came from! Will update asap!! :)

Great chapter... now they know the bitch lived.

Author's Response: Thanks Jan!!

Typical Xander reaction... and good idea of Buffy to nick the old blood. ~ Oh... Dawn did take Spike's refusal wrong. I hope she'll see why he did it. Willow should be careful with her spells.
Good that Spike feels better now. ~ Looking forward to more.

Author's Response: thanks cordy! sorry so long updating my internet has crashed and taking forever to put right! trying to put next one on via pal's computer.

Feeding on coma patients? It's been a while since I read Dresden.

Author's Response: I'll put you out of your misery!! think it'sfrom the first Dresden anyway. It's the bit where I say Buffy looks down on X despite being over a foot shorter. Harry says something similar of Murphy and her partner, that she stared him down even tho he was taller!! Tee hee
