It feels as though Buffy has chosen to put her trust in her new companion and it gives me hope for their future escape. The years of captivity have honed Buffy to a primal state, and it's making a fascinating read. I wonder what she has covered the walls of her modern cave in? Was she trying to retain her memories with drawings or words? I can't wait to find out.

You better hurry up and graduate 'cause you can't leave us with a cliffhanger like that!!! Great chapter, very adorable and heartbreaking at the same time. I'm just glad to see Spike and Buffy reunited, even if it's still in hell. Looking forward to more!

Can't imagine what Spike saw! More please!

What?! We need to know! :)

you just love leavin with those evil cliff hangers! I love your story, I can't wait to find out what is on the walls, please update soon, can't wait to find out what happens.

It kind of reminds me of planet of the apes--Spike (Charles Heston) being the only one talking and Buffy not able to respond because she'd be a slave to this hell. And I'm guessing the walls tell a story...like hieroglyphics...but not a pleasant one. Probably Buffy wrote everything down when she first got to hell and after a while she forgot how to write...and then that led her not to keep track of her memories. She probably tried to remember her name at one point in time, but then after a while she probably didn't see the point to remember it.
And is it me or does it feel like there is more to this hell then just the loneliness? I wonder if there is breakdown of what made Buffy forget...perhaps hell started out differently...Angelus....the Master...yada yada yada...but then it got down to this....pure loneliness. And what are those whispers?
