i agree with your assessment of what Dru's feeling. i really hate to think what would happen to her when everyone finds out. mostly when all of buffy's friends find out. like faith. poor dru indeed. please keep it up.

Awesome chapter. Please update ASAP.

Aww, I'm so glad she asked for Joyce, that will help them a lot into mending their relationship. I guess Dru is having a bad time knowing that things won't be the same now and even if I know I should feel bad for her, I just can't, she's just getting what she deserves. Can't wait for more!

A first step between the mother and the daughter. Slowly but surely... Ethan will have a lot of work... I wonder what will happen with Dru. Yes, she is a jealous, lying bitch , but let's admit she had a very sad childhood. And she didn't, couldn't see that her new family had accepted her. Well, perhaps because she could only focus on her father. If Hank and Joyce learn that it's her who let Dawn alone that night, what will they do? Have the same behavior with her that they had with Buffy? Since the first chapter, I can't stand Dru, but because of her attitude, not the fact she let Dawn alone: the real killer was Snyder, and only him. It's the fact that she has let her parents think all was Buffy's fault, and not only to protect herself (I can understand that seeing how Hank and Joyce behave with Buffy, she feared to be treated the same) but to USE it too, to become the one and only daughter in the family. I've always thought that Dru deserved to be punished, but maybe forgiving would be the worst punishment for her? I love how you deal with this character :)! Wait and see...

Kimber, I'm really enjoying this fic. Poor, Buffy, right? How horrible that all these things have happened to her! I'm also beginning to feel really bad for Dru. She had such a crappy deal in life. I hope she gets treatment from Ethan for her issues as well. This entire family needs help. It would be such a shame to just sweep Dru under the rug and ignore her issues. I hope that Hank and Joyce can deal with their anger towards her better than they did with Buffy (although if they do, I can see how Buffy would read that as they still love Dru more). Tough road to recovery, on the way. Can't wait to read more! :)

ohhh i can't wait. more soon please. i'm glad her mom and dad are comming around. can't wait for the truth to be revieled.

Joyce is going to be so relieved that Buffy sent for her..Very good first step in repairing their relationship..Kudos for Hank too for offering to move if needed.
Oh Dru is feeling the anticipation..A part of me wants to see her get hers for sure..but another part of me would like to see her get the mental health that she obviously needs.
Thanks for the great update!!
