yep - the plot seems to thicken. Crossing my fingers that'll help beat the hounds, too.

Ahhhhhh Abuse the power and the universe kicks you in the ass....*laughs* good for her....YIKES what the hell did Angel want that poor excuse for a vampire.....Oh oh finally to have Dawn beable to find where she came from and who she was made from....this shall be great cliffhangers coming i feel it....Loved the Wesley...you made him not as much of a stuffed shirt as he was on the show...but still loved the Pink Panther analogy *grins*.....So Willow big time messed up...was not the word I wanted but i will behave...she let lose a whole lot of mystical shit and she doesn't know it....ahhhhhh ihope it eats her to get what it needs to regain the balance....either way brilliant chapter...good information...what shall come...(goofy music) till next time on Origins by Niamh....*laughs*

Great chapter again Nia! Willow being completely rejected and left at home doesn't seem to have fazed her much. More, I think it is the temporary loss of her powers that bothers her. And her fascination with being able to alter time/space/matter is eerie. Thank you for giving us some hope as to finding out what Dawn's origins are! Maybe we can satisfy our curiosity finally. I know this aspect of your storyline is killing me. I can't wait to find out the specifics. Wonderful use of Wesley to bring this about. I hadn't thought of looking in that direction for some enlightenment, so I'm glad you did! I was greatly amused that Wesley kept his questions about Buffy and Spike's closeness to himself. I'm assuming he will confront Giles when they leave. Boy, I hope we get to see that conversation. God, I'm such a gossip hound! ;) Very cute little whisperings and cuddles between Spike & Buffy. So adorable! I want to know what Spike whispered in her ear after he told her she could protect herself, but Dawn and Tara couldn't. Wah! Not fair to keep secrets! :P I can't wait to see if they are able to decipher those texts!

I'm fascinated and completely befuddled as to what happens next. Wonderful!

oh This story just keeps getting better and better. Please update soonand often. looking forward to the next chapters.

ooooooooo....and the plot thickens. pouring over all those texts will be a daunting task but they are all determined and dawn is more determined than anyone to have her thoughts and suspisions confirmed. what a hard night of revelations for them. i wanted to give them all a hug. and willow, well...i'm not liking her right now. how aweful to bug someones house. and what the hell did angel want......poofter

loved it! loved it! loved it!!!! You are really amazing. i know i've said that a lot in my reviews but you truly are. this is how the sixth season should have went. Please post soon and keep up the great work.
