Wonder what he has in mind for Spike and Buffy? Well some of the pieces are starting to come together but we know how many layers Buffy always has. It's never easy to figure her out. Spike has to think a little more before he makes his next move, that's for sure. Wonderful chapter, thanks.

Excellent fight, I really enjoyed that.

I wonder how Spike will respond now that he knows Buffy used to be a slave. Or what exactly Daryl wants with Spike and how he can cause such fear in Buffy.

excellent read, thank you. spike is starting to understand. let's hope is devious mind comes up with a plan, that works.

thank you for updating, liking this story

Oh goody! Now Spike can get a handle on Buffy -- he can be more help than she thinks.

This is so original! It is such a pleasure to find a story with a unique plot that is so well written. I enjoy reading AUs but many fall short. This little gem has me on the edge of my seat. I also appreciate how well in character you're keeping Buffy and Spike. Their situation is vastly different from the canon but they are still true to themselves. You've made a big fan out of me. I can't wait for the next chapter!

Terrific update. I like how the plot it moving along, Spike is starting to figure out things, and Darryl is just ugh! She ought not to give in to him and let him take Spike - and I'm beginning to see where she may get her squeamishness.

Great chapter! Looking forward to seeing what happens next.

AHA, Spike has a clue and that is all it usually takes him to figure things (and Buffy) out. I have a feeling that this Daryl has a "thing" for pretty fighters (and lots of power....I think HE'S the one who called the fight, so Spike could stay pretty). Methinks that Buffy had her "Angelus moment" with this creep and she already cares enough to not put Spike through it.


Nice update in a well crafted story. Always look forward to updates. Excellent.

LoL... well.... can't say I argue with the whole hitting is a sign of affection to him... lol

Just want you to know that this is one story that I anxiously look forward to finding another update. The plots thickens..and nicely. Thanks for a great read.

oh man..what does daryl want with spike? it cant be good, judging by the way that guy was talking...i hope she doesn't let him hurt spike...great chapter, looking forward to more :)

Yep, Spike...use that sharp brain of yours and work out a plan...

He was always a good demon fighter. The only beings that really messed him up were Buffy, Glory, and the Ubervamp. And the last was only because he'd been captured and tortured to begin with.

Bingbingbing! It all starts to make sense to Spike. And I presume from what was just said that Darryl requires a ... personal audience with all the attractive slaves sent into the Circle? Which included Buffy and includes Spike? And I'm guessing it's not all hearts and roses, either.

Really liking this story. Well written.
