Just a coment on my earlier review. Hallie can't do anything of course, she died as Cecily in this timeline.



Author's Response: No worries ... Hallie's fate will be abundantly clear very soon. Those people who wanted her to be killed will be doubly happy ... :D

Poor Buffy how horrible to not have the memories of the last five years. Well it's logical, these five years was she hunting vengeance demons and that's what she remember. Buffy will have to tell Spike most of what she have done he won't settle for anything less. Buffy will of course try to save the other children, but what will that lead too? Another big questien, will Hallie do something? she hasn't been killed in this timeline so she should be alive. Time travel is really a lot of troubles.

Author's Response: Hi Magnus ... What happened to Hallie/Cecily gets a little confusing, but I think any uestion about that will soon be put to rest. I don't *think* we need to worry about her any longer (but you never know!) ... Why Spike didn't realize the children were exactly the same is addressed in the next chapter, as well as more about what can be done to save his human family ... I don't want to give anything away, so I'll just let you read it. Thanks so much for reading and always stopping in! I love hearing from you! -p4s 2011.06.16

Home sweet home! Isn’t that what evil Spike said when he ran over the Sunnydale welcome sign? Buffy is pretty much like the sign, mowed down by this new reality. It appears that Hallie’s wish is still in motion, causing misery to Spike over his dead human family. Obviously this altered reality has its downfalls, what with the lack of wealth that Spike originally had before Hallie’s wish. It is still unclear as to how “Hallie rat” became human again to make her wish and which v’demon granted it? Buffy never did get a straight answer to all of that when she annihilated the vengeance demons. Will Buffy accept this reality and not go further with “making things right” or will she try to go back in time to kill Cecily as she originally intended? Only your evil muse knows and he is not telling!

Author's Response: Hi Vette ... yes, that is exactly what Spike said when he came to town - the first words ever uttered by our blondie bear in Sunnyd... and you';re right, at this point Buffy definately must feel like that sign!

We'll explore Hallie's wish further as the story goes ... we still have a few more chapters, not sure if we'll ever know the answer to who helped Hallie ... well, not until they come back and do something else to our Spuffy couple! You'll find some of the answers to your question on what Buffy will do to fix the deaths of the other children in the chapter I just posted ... And don't feel bad, my evil muse often doesn't even tell *me* what he's planning until he types it on the screen for me! LOL! Sad but true ...

Thanks so much for reading and your always insightful reviews! -p4s 2011.06.16

ok, seems like a respite from the storm. but why do i have a feeling it's gonna get much, much worse before it gets better?

Author's Response: Hi rkm! I think for me the height of the angst were the two chapters where Buffy went back in time, but you're very right that the angst isn't over yet ... Still have a ways to go with it before things can be set right and Buffy can get some real answers and not feel like she's losing her mind. Will try to have more soon ...

Thanks soooo much for reading and stopping in! Love hearing from you! -p4s 2011.06.12
