Crap! I forgot that the Council owned Spike and now the Initiative kidnapped Giles? this is not going to end well is it? At least not for a long while and don't get me started on Angel! What the hecks wrong with him the...( I really want to say a very bad word here but I won't), and he's worried about the Shanshu Prophecy? WOW! Great chapter sweetie.

Don't like the rape stuff so thanks for the warning. That aside, really good so far!

Uh oh ... that is ooooo not of the good. Ethan taking Giles' place? That is very scary.

Excellent, scary and wicked Angel. Great stuff. Can't wait to see what you do with Ethan. He's one of my favorites.

OH, MY GODDESS!! I can't wait to see what happens next! This is a great Chapter!! WOW!

OOOO, very interesting! I am so hooked on this story! I can not wait to see what you come up with next!!

Huh...  Weird.  Wondering what's next.  Guess I gotta wait until next week.

Yikes! WTF is Ethan planning? I am not adverse to any trouble he causes for the Initiative or the Council of Wankers. Too much chaos though could mean death and destruction to Spuffy. Not to mention Angelus is in the mix. More story please.

Ohh, so many things happening. Sounds like there's still something big left to be uncovered. Great chapter Sue!

*shudders* I must say, you have succeeded in quickly causing my thorough dislike for Angel. You got the whole "sinister" vibe down pat. *shudders again*
And I see there were also some new plot twists in this chapter. It's so sad, but even though I'm all extra interested now, at the same time, you've created such an interesting by-play between Buffy and Spike that I'm all like, "oh, man, now I have to concentrate on the rest of the plot instead of da Spuffy!" Kind of a stupid thing to complain about, but if the Spuffy interaction wasn't so good, it'd be easier to focus on other things. Guess I can live with it! *g*
Oh, and don't listen to any of us when we complain about having to wait a whole week. It's truly a blessing for an author to be consistent in their updates, regardless of time in between. Keep up the amazing work!

Gawd, I hate the council of wankers.... And Buffy needs to comfort her poor vampire ^.^

LOL, love you make Mondays worthwhile :P I am still loving this fic. Is ethan gonna be a good huy??

Great chapter! Ethan Rayne is involved, well this just makes things a whole lot more interesting now doesn't it. Can't wait for the next update!

Very interesting. Can't wait to see how it all comes together. And poor Spike. Hopefully, he will be more 'himself' before he has to help Buffy deal with it all.

OMG! Huge cliffhanger. Need more. How am I going to wait until next Monday? I'll be biting my nails the whole time. LOVE IT!

Good update. It is not surprising that Angel was Spike's torturer. I hope that some of Spike's experiences are found out soon. It is hard to wait a week for an update because this story is really interesting.

Great chapter as usual. Very hard on Spike, and interresting to have Angel as the BAD, BAD guy. Can´t wait for the next chapter!!!!

Poor Spike... each chapter makes me feel so sorry for him! And Angel must die!! Good work.

wow...i'm actually scared right now...that last bit sooo does not sound good...the way you are writing Spike in this just tears my heart out...the dream sequence was rough, but you know the part that brought me to tears was when he went to kneel beside her, so naturally like its just what he deserved or something...broke my heart, brought me to tears...have i mentioned yet that you are an absolutely incredible writer?

Well Ethan outa spice things up. Now if he were to set all the vampires free I'm thinking alot of blood would flow ;)

Very well written chapter. I think you did a great job handling the tough subject matter. I really liked the Spike/Buffy interaction. Can't wait to find out what's gonna happen now that Ethan and Angel are in the mix.

Wow, it's getting really interesting with Angel (I always new he was evil all along!) and Council and... Initiative? Can't wait to see.
Great chapter.
