Chapter: Holding Out

So glad Buffy didn't completely get the wool pulled over her eyes--I mean, if Spike was really guilty, as cut and dry as Willow made it sound, then there'd be no reason to take away his mouth, and let us not forget his "I--I didn't" before he was forced not to talk anymore. And good going, Jenny! Save them, please!
yeah, buffy's smarter than willow's giving her credit for :) thanx, love :)

YAY Jenny! Of course there is far more to deal with but good for her. Good for Buffy too in figuring out it is smoke and mirror time. Glad she's angry at Spike being hurt too. Time to get back to reality and kick some Willow butt.

thanx, love, so glad you enjoyed it :) buffy's learning a lot, and she's not so jaded this time around, which will work in spike's favor :)

Spike is so amazing. So many stories have misunderstandings or wrong information lead to decisions the character would normally refuse to make. Right now Spike really believes he is going to die, and even if the tiny hope that they survive, Buffy will only loathe him. Keeping quiet won't give him a chance with her or make Buffy appreciate his bravery, and talking could spare him awful pain. Spike's decision is nothing like a self-serving demon, soul or not.

Buffy surprised me in this chapter, and I'm glad she's thinking clearly and maturely instead of going off in blind emotions. I can't wait to see the showdown coming up.
Great work!
thanx, love, glad you enjoyed... :)

phew! That was quite a ride. glad you're treating buffy so well in this - she's smart and determined and willing to believe Spike might not be so bad. (hey, it's a start.)
yeah, definitely progress...but this is before angelus had months to mess with her mind, etc, and scarred her for life :P thanx, love :)

Strangely, I don't feel all that bad about Dead Giles. Looking forward to Buffy kicking VampWillow's ass. That should be more than 35 or 40 chapters? :)P
lol...really? i always liked giles...thanx so much for your kind review, love, and believe it or not we're on the home stretch :P hehe

Thank God Jenny might actually be able to stop this horror. Of course, once this is over, I can't imagine any circumstance under whioh anyone would ever trust Willow again. Great story, thanks!
thanx, love, so glad you like :)

Wonderful chapter; I'm praying that Willow isn't able to read the globe's location from Spike's mind, and I'm so proud of Buffy for being able to look past what Willow has shown her to look for Willow's motivations. Please update again soon; I'm dying to find out what really happened to Giles; I can't believe it's as straightforward as Willow is making it look; I figure Spike either killed Giles to save someone's life, killed Giles because he asked him to (i.e. he was dying) or had been trying to save Giles by turning him, for some reason. Am I right?? Huh, huh? Am I?? Gotta know!!! LOL!
we'll see how it turns out...not telling what's going to happen yet as far as giles and all...but more will be up soon :) thanx, love :)
