Yikes!!! A timely wake-up for Spike. What will he do???

Spike the Protector to the rescue! I love your writing DoS, but I'm particularly fond of the way you build suspense and leave the reader biting their nails or cheering or crying or some other strong emotional response. No one ends a chapter quite like DoS :)

Oh yes, Spike might be broken enough to not fight for himself any longer....but for a Slayer????? Siron is in for a surprise I think.

As scary as it is for the girl, I am glad someone knows about Spike now (including his name). If Melinda gets free she will tell and then help will come.

Excellent.

i had to go an mention that i liked melinda. good chapter, thank you.

I loved that piece and I'm relieved that Spike's not so broken, 'cos I was afraid that he was! And I like Melinda very much, she's got some spark in her.

You're trying to cliffhang us to death , aren't you?

Ohhhh noes!
