Interesting concept and I'm admittedly curious as to why the Council wants Buffy & Dawn and why they should spring for a 3rd person to make the trip without specifying who. Glad to see Buffy accepting Spike as a 'boyfriend' now she knows Dawn knows about them and accepts him, although I'd prefer them not to keep it a secret, I always enjoy seeing Xander's head explode when he finds out. You might want to get someone to look at your grammar though, your tenses sometimes go a bit wonky.

Author's Response: Sorry about that...I believe it's only in this latest chapter that my tenses went Wonky as you put it... Back when I originally wrote it, I wasn't paying attention of which tense I was really writing in & therefore so called Wonkyness ensued! I tried to fix what I could without completely re-writing the chapter & I thought I got most of it, but apparently not enough. :( Again, I apologize!! I believe the rest of my upcoming chapters are in the right (or at least SAME) tense. I'm currently waiting on some time to myself to update! Hopefully you'll stick with me & the story! Thanks for your review! & Don't hesitate to continue your helpful criticism! It's appreciated!

Mmmh it really looks like as if somebody sent some extra vamps to fight their way. Getting locks was a good idea :)
Till next time (chapter)!
