Glad that Spike found Buffy, hope that she realizes that she was abused and victimized and is not responsible for the treatment she received. Only Spike can restore her self-worth and make her push her feelings of disgust away for what was done to her.

Time to open up a can of Lucas whooping and hunt down all those who tormented her while she was defenseless. It would serve Lucas well to take the place the slayer was in and suffer that kind of treatment. Look forward to more chapters.

Author's Response: Spike'll try, but he's a man, and they're not always best at figuring out a woman's mood! lol But he'll do everything in his power to show Buffy how beautiful he thinks she is... she'll need that! The time will come when Buffy will need to revenge herself and face the demons (literal and methaporical), and then Lukas will definitelly be in for a big and painful surprise! Thanks for reviewing Vette, I appreciate it!!! :)

This time the story is up here before at EF. Found the update before I got the email about it.
Ah the drug? So Lukas will be in trouble now, Buffy was different already. Makes me wonder how the slayer will react to Spike. OH! Especially if it was Spike's blood. Interesting... and I wonder what "alien presence within her" means now. The Uber-Slayer? Mmmh the connection is indeed very strong between them.
Loved the chapter :)

Author's Response: So glad you did!! :) You're so freaking observant, seriously... so you noticed that 'alien presence', eh? Can't get anything past you, cordykitten! lol But I'm not telling you a word! It might be the Uber- Slayer, OR it might be something completely different... I like being unpredicatble, so who knows, right? *winks* More hints in the next chapter! Thanks for leaving another awesome review!!! :)

Oh Very interesting. Can't wait for the next chapter.

Author's Response: I'm glad you liked!! :D More soon! Thanks for reviewing Brett, I appreciate it!!! :)

It's a good thing Willow was there to save Buffy, but what's Spike and his demon going to do since discovering she's the slayer?? Can't wait for more!

Author's Response: Hello there! Spike is going to be confused like never before, poor guy! lol The next chapter is already written, just needs to be beta'd and polished. Thank you for reading and sharing your thoughts with me again!!!! :)

Mmmmh no wonder Leonard wants to break and kill Buffy. But I'll bet that his mate was killing humans when Buffy killed her. (Both of them doesn't sound like 'tame' vamps that drink bagged blood.)
Ah... again another slayer should be called now. And Leonard was surely not expecting Buffy to live. But it seems that Buffy is changed. More Slayer-demon like (at last in the moment she came back).
And Spike found her after all. :)
~ Looking forward to more.

Author's Response: Oh yeah, vengeance was definitely the only thing keeping him in this world, and he was evil, so was his mate. Buffy was just doing her job and protecting the innocents, but still, she sees now that the world is not just black and white anymore, and even the evil ones can love deeply. And huge sloppy kiss for you! :D Buffy dying will have its consequences, new slayer being called being one fo them! Spike/Buffy interaction coming on... finally! lol I hope you'll like and thanks for leaving a wonderful review!!!! :)

I'm liking this piece more and more. Your detail is wonderful. Please continue soon!

Author's Response: *grins* Thank you for your kind words and I hope you'll like the next chapter even more... and hopefully you'll find the following turn of events at least a little bit unexpected! Thanks for being lovely as always and leaving a review!!! :)

Oh yikes. Buffy's life is harsh and cruel. Spike is coming for you Buffy. He doesn't know it yet, but he is. Just hold on.

Author's Response: Hi Brett! Spike is definitely coming for her...and boy, will he be get surprised when he finally meets her! *g* Thank you so much for leaving a review!!! :)

So Spike is alone now, Dru gone. (And yeah, I'm not mad about this fact.) And Spike is better off without her.
*repeats* Poor Buffy. I'm glad she could escape for a moment, meeting Spike.

Author's Response: Hey cordykitten! I'm not mad about it either! lol...Spike deserves someone better than Dru, who can't love him the way he loves, with everything he has in him, and we all know who that someone is! *g* And yeah, I had to give Buffy at least a moment of relief from the pain she's going through! Thank you for reviewing!!! :)

OMG! I am loving this. You must write more. I hope Spike saves her soon. How much more can she deal with before she finally breaks.

Author's Response: I'm happy you love! :) And no worries, I am writing more, I've already written chapter where they finally meet! Though I'm not revealing any circumstances. *winks* Thank you for reviewing Akela!!! :)

I really like this new twist ...but still within their characters....very good.
PLEASE CONTINUE SOON!!

Author's Response: Hey Iris! I'm happy you liked the chapter, I was kinda hoping to give poor Buffy some relief from the constant pain. I'll try to post as fast as I can! Thanks for a review, you're awesome!!! :)

This is a little too brutal for me, but I'm hoping for a more gentle response from Spike eventually when he's finally with Buffy - Please don't wait too long -I'm hooked!

Author's Response: Then you'll hate/love the next chapter....it's both brutal and sweet, but I'm not saying anything else! :P I'll most probably update sometime this week. Thank you for being your usual awesome self Iris and reviewing, and for sticking with this story!!! :)

yes enjoying it and you are stretching it out nicely just to add to the anticipation. Wonder why Buffy was taken and why she is being kept, presumably so another Slayer can't be called, but who is the main guy? and where are the Scoobs?

more please

Author's Response: Hopefully, nobody will think there's too much anticipation! lol More reasons for Buffy's kidnapping will be revealed bit by bit. Scoobs will probably enter little bit later, as I'm trying to focus on the situation between Buffy and Spike. Thank you for being awesome and leaving me a review!!! :)

I feel for Spike and Buffy in this chapter. Poor Joyce and Hank must be out of their minds with worry over Buffy's dissapearance and have no idea of her situation. Her capture was not one deserving of a slayer but more of an ambush which took planning whose long term goal is anyone's guess at this point in the story. Look forward to more.



Author's Response: They most certainly are worried and probably gave up on the idea of seeing Buffy again, and it's anyones guess if their marriage will survive this! And you're right, it was an ambush. Thank you for being awesome and leaving a review!!! :)
