Author's Response: I'm glad you liked it. Thanks so much for taking the time to review. :)

As gruesome as the story is supposed to sound, I find parts of it down right hilarious.

Author's Response: Parts of it were supposed to be hilarious, so that's okay. Thanks for the review. :)

You can't keep a bad boy down lol. Love where this is going more soon please!

Author's Response: I'm glad you like it. Thank you. :)

“Spike,” she echoed softly. It sounded good to his ears, although she pronounced it “Spoik.”

I cringe each time I hear Drusilla call him Spoik, but I'm really glad you added this in because it definitely stays true to her character. I love little details such as those :)

I also love the transition as to how Spike is understanding Drusilla now...I always did enjoy the two of them together so reading what's going on in his head is a nice little bonus.

And tee hee to Spike versus Angelus. I remember Angelus in one of the flashbacks yelling at the newly named Spike about his reckless behavior, so it's fun to read the backstory you created for it.

Waiting patiently (sort of!) for the next chapter :) Wonderful work!

Author's Response: I think I may have chased away some readers with the Spike/Dru interaction (there has been a noticeable decline in reviews, at any rate). But I think that his growing affection for her is only natural. What he feels isn't passionate love, but it is affection and friendship. Dru appeals to the side of him that wants to nurture ... and to the side of him that wants to be nutured. At least, that's how I always perceived it to be on the show, and that's the way I'm writing it. It's just that, in my version, as opposed to Joss' ... Spike is in love with another woman. I'm glad you liked the chapter. Thanks so much for taking the time to review it. :)

It's as if Angelus's 'lesson' has set Spike adrift in a sea of bloody recklessness: he's become an almost swirling dervish of murder and mayhem and brutal fun. This, of course, incenses his grandsire as the Aurelius quartet are unable to remain amongst their potential victims as Spike's antics push the existence of their kind and, moreover, their close proximity into a very vengeful public interest. A joy and a spur for Spike; an unnecessary spotlight and unwelcome vulnerability for Angelus. They flee. Yes, the fierce, immortal demons of the night have to escape London, and settle in Yorkshire. Only, Spike's first action there is to obliterate the clientele of the local pub - and those who escape raise the alarm. Hence, another angry mob.

Spike is now pushing everything to the limit. With hysterical laughter to boot. Like a hyper child, beyond all reason.

William has been tethered; Spike is now unleashed.

Great chapter.


Author's Response: Beautifully put, Sue. Would you like to become my summary writer, because you have a knack for it. :) Really, it's so nice to hear that you enjoyed the chapter and, more importantly, that you got what I was trying to convey. I love knowing that the points I'm hoping to make with my writing have come across to my readers. Thank you for taking the time to let me know. :)

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! As always, loved it!! More ASAP please!!

Author's Response: I'm so glad you liked it. Thanks for the review. :) I'll update just as soon as possible -- hopefully by Friday, if the Muse is kind. So, just keep checking back.

really enjoyable. Esp. the blacksmith trying to avenge his daughter.

Author's Response: I'm glad you liked it. Thank you. :)

This is so great to read and I still have a big grin on my face even after all the killing. Spike is now the proverbial thorn in Angelus' side and it would appear he is not going to be removed easily, if at all. I love the fact that this is so beautifully written I can see it playing out in front of meand if you want to write the next hundred years in full then I wlll be waiting to read it. A pleasure as always.

Author's Response: Thank you so much, Sam. For my work to be called "beautifully written" really makes me feel good. I appreciate your taking the time to tell me that, and I'm glad you like the story. :)

You rock girl! I wonder if they will hide out in a mine as in the original?

Author's Response: Thanks, Mag rose. :D The mineshaft will be making its appearance soon, although the interaction between characters will be somewhat different than what it was on the show. I hope you enjoy that scene when it comes. ;)

you know, i really love this story. seeing how spike's character fleshes out and turns from being william to spike is such an interesting trip. i loved seeing the "fun" evil spike start to poke his head out. he makes me giggle.

Author's Response: lol. Evil Spike is fun, isn't he? I had a lot of fun writing him. I'm glad you liked the chapter, and thanks for reviewing. :)

OMG i loved it it was sooooooooo good i can not wait until you update. please do so soon!

Author's Response: I'm glad you liked it. Thank you. :)

Even though this story about Spike has no tender moments with Buffy but instead full of violence and hatred, nevetheless im very captivated! It is because it is so graphically well written in detail and every emotion is so real i could see it so clearly in my eyes and i could feel it so strongly in my veins.

Very very good!! Please give us more!

Author's Response: I'm so glad to hear that you haven't been turned off by the darker tone of Part II. Thanks for taking the time to review. :)
