Mmmmm... nice opener. Always loved mysterious letters and codes as a plot device.

Hey, and that guy LB Kitchener sounds familiar... I'll bet he's a handsome devil.

;)

excellent beginning, thank you. many questions; going to enjoy reading the answers.

Oh another prophecy? That will sure make things interesting *g*. But maybe difficult (dangerous) too. Seems Joyce found Sunnydale even without Buffy. Even the Scoobies. I guess Buffy ran away when still living in L.A.? When her parents were still married (and when Merrick was her watcher). When I get the time-line wrong (Buffy was in Sunnydale too) please tell me.

Interesting beginning. I can't wait to see where this story will go. :soon:

Good start! Original idea too. I look forward to more.

Interesting start looking forward to more.

A new story. **Claps hands and does dance of joy!** Forever Alive is one of my favorite and I can't wait to see where this one takes us.

haha ... i love it when unsuspecting vamps get the crap kicked out of them after assuming she's just a defenseless little girl...lol...great start, looking forward to reading more :)

Cool first chapter. A great introduction - you definitely have me wanting to read more. Looking forward to finding out how everyone got to where they were in this chapter.

Fantastic start! I find the plot very intriguing, can't wait to find out where things go from here. :)

This is a very promising fic, You have brought up a lot of questions. What is Joyce doing at the school? Why is Angel helping? Why do you love to torture me with cliffhangers? Hopefully these questions will be answered in your next installment. I love this, can't wait to read more.

PS. The reference to "Lostboy" was great!

*is uber curious*

Loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great start and I am looking forward to more.

Nice start! And I love how you added LB into your story. I can't wait to see where you're taking this one.
