Hi hun,
Sorry it has taken me so long to review. I read this the day you released it but due to commitments was unable to post until now. (When today I re-read again...twice)
hee hee
I'm hooked what can I say? ;-)

Another fantastic chapter.
And 'Oh My!' Isn't Spike a blood thirsty lil bugger?
I love how you have painted this picture for us. Divulging into his mind explaining his reactions - his excitement, his joy, his arousal and thrill of his hunt - his kill. For us to be able to see into his character and perhaps into his soul allowing us to get a true feel for this story. For him! I get the sense Spike perhaps is trying to prove himself or his worth to his father. So suspect more will come later from this? Also WOW Descriptive bloody death scene love!!
(or should it be luv?)
I believe poor innocent little Buffy is in for some interesting twists and turns. Spike is obviously a master in the art of women possible, manipulation and I can just imagine poor lil Buffs head will soon be spinnin' trying to keep up. Though I have faith that in the end this powerhouse will no doubt be able to hold her own and dish out her own brand of attitude, snark,pack a punch and likely 'slay' him where he stands.
Yeah I really cannot wait for more.
Wonderful job as usual darling and I'll be back to bug you for more. :-) :-)

Author's Response: I adore you. How did you know I was wondering about you? I was thinking, 'Melissa hasn't reviewed. What if she didn't like it?' I really want to portray Spike as a sick criminal. He's been killing since he was twelve; he enjoys killing. So, you could say, he is evil with a soul. He has a conscience though, so he does know right from wrong. Does he enjoy killing because it's all he knows or deep down does he really enjoy it for his own reasons? Time will tell. I'm glad you liekd that scene. I wanted to make it more descriptive but was worried I'd scare people off. I can be pretty morbid. I'm happy you noticed that he gets off on the hunt-the kill. Very good. Buffy is in for alot! She will be kept in the dark, but secrets can't be kept forever. Her character is really going to develop as the story goes on. Spike is so bad, just in the way he acts with her, that it's bound to rub off. I have the ninth chapter sent out for a second read so I'm just waiting for it to be returned. You are so sweet and thank you so much for your consistant reviews. They make me so chipper.

Author's Response: And did you notice I named the chapter after you. ;-) Also, I have no idea what's with the backslashes. I did not type them out...wierd.

Author's Response: Okay. Backslashes are only there when I'm in 'response mode' for some odd reason. So you wouldn't see them. I'm not crazy. LOL

This is turning even darker than I thought it would, and I'm interested to see how Spike will reform (if he even will!). Can't wait to read more!

Author's Response: This is gonna get dark...Hope you like dark fics? I'll be writing either tonight or tomorrow. It's all in my head just gotta type. Thanks for stopping in, Michele. I really appreciate it.

I like it! Spikes plays a completely different character than I'm used to reading but I think 'm getting used to him. Keep up the fab writing! (:

Author's Response: Thanks, Lexi! I'm glad youre liking my Spike, even though your not used to it. Right now Spike is bad. But I do have plans for a redemption. It will take time so I hope you will continue to hang on and enjoy. I hope to talk to you again.

I am LOVING this story! Please keep writing :)
