I hate the Immortal! Dawn has to be under a spell, for she would never think about Spike like that now.

Loved Spike and Buffy's dreams. Good to see Willow choosing the right path. Lorne's friend is charming. Love that Fred is reasserting herself in Illyria.

Author's Response: Thank you....it's been fun writing this one as well as hard........and some what sad........

Xander's dream is seriously beyond freaky. I'm sure that's not really Anya, as she had finally accepted her humanity. Still, he must play some important part if whomever is trying to keep him from the right side of the fight.
I hope Oz will be running into Spike's group once they hit LV.

Author's Response: Oh it's Anya......as was she really recuiting him....or giving him something else to think about......for is her advice to him something that would help good or evil....hmmmmm.

Seems the dreams are trying to say that the whole gang needs to band togehter for the good of the world again. Love seeing Spike's nurturing side. He'll be a great dad. I can't wait for Buffy to see him like this.

Author's Response: yes he dreams are being helpful, as long as the one that dreams listens, and looks between the lines......

Great chapter, love all the characters you brought into the story.

Can't wait to read more

Author's Response: I am to please the best I can, and thank you for the review

Great story so far, love all the characters makes the story so much fuller and richer.

Author's Response: Thank you....it's good to hear that........

Stupid newbie Slayer. It never looked like Angelus had returned, and there's no way she could have infiltrated into the right places to find out the real deals going on. So glad Buffy isn't jumping to the evil conclusion like Giles and Xander.

Of course the Immortal is using Buffy. Too bad he has that thrall, or whatever, that makes everybody love him. Spike's gotta figure out that Buffy is under a spell with that one. He KNOWS the Immortal is no good.

Author's Response: Nothing to support Angelus had come, but with the mistrust the others had concerning why Angel went into business wiith the enemy would be enough to put doubt and make them wonder if he truly did have a evil motive for joining the firm. Lose you soul once oops, lose it twice, oh my, lose it thrice, walking on thin ice......so leaves those to wonder if you could lose it again......the Immortal.....he is such a bad man.....and he's only started.....LOL

Glad to see some movement here, 'though it's not what I expected . I like the re-write so far though I'm missing the part where Illyria gave Spike her blood as it was in the first version.. I wasn't completely sure about Illyria's intentions toward Spike then, but now, I think there is a gap. If I hadn't read the first version.... I don't know, but there seems to be something missing.

Author's Response: Spike still feed from Illyria, it's in chapter one....LOL I even had to go back and read it to make sure it was still there.......and Thanks for staying with me on this one

Well I still think it wasn't Andrew's decision not to tell Buffy about the visit or Spike being alive. But it's too late for her now - at last for the moment. And the Immortal has Dawn under his charm.. and Buffy too. Till next time!

Author's Response: Nope more then one person didn't want Andrew telling Buffy.....(cough) when has he ever been able to really keep a secret....LOL.....and the Immorta is a bad bad thing......
