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!!

great chapter

Well that was a myraid of emotions twirling about. From Buffy's breakdowns to Dru's self pity. I look forward to the Summer's family showdown. :)

OMG, i am addicted to this story!

i love how Spike is with Buffy, so caring and loving. I can't wait for the next chapter! update soon!

Awesome chapter Please update ASAP.

Good that Ethan is taking care of Buffy too, not only Spike. She needs friends, especially now. What ever happened, they'll support her. *sniff* Loved it :)

I'm with Elizabeth Anne Summers; public lynching for the resident bitch!
Anyway, I so glad that Drusilla's actually got some sanity left to figure out she's history!
Great chapter,
spuf

Kimber - I think the story got cut off when you posted it. It ends, "he wanted to kill he

Love this story, thanks for posting it. :)

Author's Response: Got it fixed....thanks for letting me know.....much appreciated.....

UGh...I hate being inside Drusilla's mind. Kimber, you have done a VERY good job of making her a villian here. I just want someone to kick her ass!

So..looks like Spike is the long haul guy, no matter what. * of course * : D Yay for him..and Buffy.
Glad to read that Joyce is willing to do anyting to make things up to Buffy. She shouldn't be forgiven easily. She nearly destroyed her daughter..along with Hank. Curious to see how Hank is going to deal with Drusilla when things come to light..All thoughts of her demise aside : ).... she really needs some mental help..

Great update as always!
