I knew Spike would protect Joyce and Dawn. Time for Buffy to actually think, think about it all not just about herself. Excellent as always.

Kathleen
you're so right...of course he wouldn't let her hurt them

good update = cant wait to see what happens next very ntense
thanx, glad you like it

well Joyce did stand her ground when it came to letting Buffy take Spike. I can't believe that Buffy was going to strike her mother, but I am glad that Spike stopped her. And what is going on with Dawn's affect on Buffy?? Glad that at least Spike knows that Buffy is not abandoning him, but she is doing this for his own good. OHHH, I am so in love with this story.
thanx, glad you like it

Great chapters. It was really scary reading the confrontation between Buffy and Joyce. Of course Spike would save the day.
What is the connection between Dawn, Buffy and Spike? Did the monks create Dawn out of the essences of Buffy and Spike? Please update soon.
thanx, glad you like it

Wonderful chaper - scary and moving at the same time. How do you do THAT? Now, who's gonna finally call Giles and tell hime the WHOLE sorry story? Joyce and Dawn are good, but they obviously need reinforcements. Waiting on pins and needles for the next installment.
thanx, glad you like it

Excellent chapter, but isn't Spike going to freak being away from the Buffster?
thanx, glad you like it

Another table gripper chapter. I am so concerned with the thing that has taken over Buffy and I really felt for Joyce's predicament in this chapter. You will do anything possible to help a child without regard for your own safety.
thanx, glad you like it

thanx so much, glad it could touch you

Stop being mean to Buffy *kicks you in the shin and pouts*
lol...*kicks you back and laughs*

Wow that was intense. Great chapter.
thanx, glad you liked it

and i bet nobody (except maybe joyce and dawn) will give spike any credit for the major risk he took to stop buffy from hurting joyce -- not exactly the act of an evil monster, more like a real hero!

*please* let joyce give giles and the scoobies hell! pretty please? :-)
no one ever gives him much credit, do they? the scoobs'll just be all freaked that he hit her, more than likely

I hesitated to breathe through most of that chapter...so scared for Joyce. Dawn usuing a little Key influence?
Knew as soon as Buffy drew her fist back that Spike wouldn't let her touch Joyce.

Buffy never seemed to learn the old addage "What a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive." Lying NEVER makes it better. NEVER comes out right, and good. Her pride and secrets have been causing nothing but pain.
glad it could be so moving to you...yes, dawnie will prove to be the "key" in this story in more ways than one...you're right, she could have made things a lot easier by being honest right up front

Not sure if the tears in my eyes are from anger at Buffy-yet again walking out and not dealing- or from empathy for the loss that Spike is feeling now. Either way, they're there. Good job JL!
thanx, glad it had such an effect... thanx for the thoughtful review
