Very good story.  I like what you did with Drusilla and also that Xander wasn't a total ass like he usually is.  Thanks for sharing this story with us.
Thank you :)  I believe in the evolution of a character.  Glad you enjoyed it!

By the way,I think Riley proved that he is more of a monster than Spike has ever been-well,except for William The Bloody times,I guess-.Because,hey,I highly doubt that Spike would've done anything like that,or anything near that,really.
Shocking and impressive chapter,gonna read more and more and more...:D
I always found Riley kind of sadistic (he was the one who wanted to separate the two Xander's and experiment on them.  Sick...), and on top of that, he always wanted to prove himself.  And IMHO, I don't think Spike in his hay day was a rapist.  Vicious killer, sure...but that's just my own personal opinion.

Guess I've learned the lesson of my life:
---Check the warnings before reading!---
Oh...My...God...
Riley..I wanna kill that sadistic bastard before he could say "Mommy"
Ghrrr
Yeah--sorry about that.  Perhaps I should put warnings in the actual chapter as well.  But on the other hand, if you had looked closely that first time around, you may not have read it.  So that's kind of a plus, right?

I've been waiting for this to be completed before I started it.  I'm so glad you got it done!  Very intense start and I'm looking forward to the rest. 
Really?  So glad I kicked my own ass then to finish it :D  Thanks for reviewing.

What an amazing start to a story! Painful to read, due in no small part to your wonderfully descriptive writing, but also incredible. I've got to get offline now, because of a thunderstorm. But I'll be back to read chapter two as soon as it's over, and I'll be sure to let you know what I think. :)

... oh ... and by the way ... intriguing banner!
Aww, shucks... thank you :D As for the banner, well, I did pick out the pics myself, lol. I just couldn't do anything with them...

And thunderstorms are only cool when they don't knock out the power or something else bad.

I had no idea you were so deeply disturbed Scarlet. Comes from hanging around DOS. Great writing and EWWWW.
I'm not, really... Okay, maybe a little :D This whole thing only came about because of some thread at the bloodshed pub. I can't remember what it was, but I read something, and this concept crept into my brain... And Muse made me do it. Thanks for reviewing :D

Interesting. Dark, yes, but compelling me to read more. Well done :D
Thank you. It's my first "dark" fic :D

Damn chip...

I don't know if Spike would refer to Giles as "Giles" much. He usually said Rupert or Watcher when talking to him...

Man, you sure got the gruesome right...*shudder*
Oh, he calls him "Watcher" at first in the shop. And I'm guessing that's technically good, right, with the gruesome? Hope you like the rest :D

intense beginning. hope that revenge is meted out just as intensely. thanks for the read.
Revenge, you say? I'd have to be insane to let Riley get away with that... I'll update soon.

03/28/2007 01:33 am
Oh how sick is Riley!?!?! Hope you continue this and we get to see the bastard pay. This was worse than the fake staking on the show because rape takes a part of ones psyche....gaaaahhh

Kathleen
Of course Riley's gonna pay- what type of evil bastard would I be to let him get off scott free? I wouldn't do that to you guys, or myself. Thank you for reviewing :D

Hey, original concept! Like it so far, but PLEASE let Spike get his own revenge. Too many fics where Buffy fights his battles for him, and Spike's been emasculated enough already in this fic. Also, yeah, beer would actually put a fire out. Love it though, as with all of yours.
As much as I'd love to- there's no real way for him to get around the chip. And no worries- it won't be Buffy fighting his battles for him. Spike will get revenge, however... And yes, I just learned this about the beer thing. Honestly, I should have known better ;) Thanks for reviewing :D

03/27/2007 07:53 pm
Wow. GOd, Riley's evil. How could he do that? And poor Spike, I'm sure that gave him flashbacks to Angelus. *shivers* I hope Buffy finds out so she can kick his ass (Riley's). Can't wait for more. And no need to worry this is a good start, hun. Keep it up.
Somehow, I'd like to think of him and Angelus as consensual (you know, that "one time" Spike mentioned in s5 of Angel *gg*). Riley was just... wrong. And Buffy, yeah, relationships just suck for her right now. Thank you ever so much for reviewing :D

03/27/2007 02:27 pm
OMG! How can he protect himself from that SOB! Can he call Haley for vengence? Riley's got to pay! How can he prevent Riley from doing it again? Wow, this is so different from your other stories, I'm surprised. Looking forward to Riley getting his, thanks.
Vengence... will occur in what I hope to be a least suspected place ;) And Riley will most certainly pay, I assure you :D

God that was gruesome!
But in a good way? Yea, I know... Riley= gross, but it's Muse's fault- I swear!!

03/27/2007 06:37 am
Oh God, poor Spike. Wonder if any of the Scoobies will find out, and if they do, how will they react?
Um, well... Sorry, can't tell you- you'll have to read and see ;) Thanks for reviewing.

03/27/2007 05:01 am
wow - that was intense. Very cringeworthy. Boy - I sure wonder where this is going.

But...beer doesn't burn like that. Too low of an alchohol content. Sorry - you need to send him out there with some of Giles' good stuff. :) No offense intended!
No offense taken- thanks for the info and for reviewing :D

um, ewww
Well, everything can't be happy. I agree though with the "eww," that's mostly what I thought when Muse presented it to me...

03/27/2007 03:36 am
Disturbing beginning, but in a good way. Wonderfully written. I'm practically bouncing on my toes to find out what you're going to do with this story.
Thanks for reviewing ;) Though I gotta say, I'm bouncing on my toes as well as to what I'm going to do with this story... Hope to see you in later chapters.

03/27/2007 03:06 am
Wow, what a start. I'm definitely interested. And I agree with DoS, I like the depiction of Spike's emotions through his actions. Great chapter, Scarlet!
Thanks :D I can't remember which thread it was here at BSV, but one of the topics lead to the creation of this fic, and I just couldn't ignore it...

03/27/2007 02:49 am
very dark and intense, love, very emotional too in a subtle way...i like how you describe spike's state of shock by his actions, without just spelling it out for the reader...awesome job with this so far, and i'm so looking forward to reading more :)
Hopefully, I'll have something new for you by the weekend. Oh, and did I mention I still don't know where I'm going exactly with this? Thank you ever so much for all your help :D
