"Predator would always find prey. Love was always drawn to love. It didn’t always make sense. It didn’t have to. But, it was always true."-- Nice little summation that bit there. And this whole tie in of this story to the lions of Tsavo. I saw the actual stuffed lions at the museum they're at in Chicago this past summer. Quite an interesting thing to look at animals who are so famous for killing men... I hope Buffy gets to Spike in time... She can't die from a lion attack, you wouldn't do that... Wonderful chapter.

Author's Response: Seen photos of the animals at the field museum, and I was facsinated by the story. I'm glad you are enjoying the story. And you're right...I wouldn't do that.

Oh my gosh!!! So much badness happened during Giles' three hour nap. It's so sad that Travers evil planned worked. I loved how Spike immediately snapped out of his mental confusion when Buffy approached him. Knowing Spike he probably didn't put up a fight in exchange for Buffy's safety. I'm so worried about Spike's well being... no telling what physical or mental tortures Travers might inflict upon him. Fantastic update!

Author's Response: You know there's only one way Spike would end up drugged and in chains...read and find out more.

But! But! But! Nooooooo!!!!! Not already! Noo!

How can you leave us there? OMG!

Author's Response: Hold on, I didn't reveal anything dire. Remember, Spike is technically a "body." He is dead and all maybe Buffy is okay....
