Ooooo... ::shivers:: Lovely chapter. I can't wait to see the trials, though I have my suspicions on the first. Can't wait to see if I'm right.
Thanks for you review and for reading. Trials are ahead and I hope I don't disappoint. Thanks again.

Fantastic chapter, of course you did end with that nail-biting cliffhanger. I loved the interaction between Buffy and Spike, and how Spike again realized how much Buffy loves him, and that it is real. Harm was a wonderful piece of fun in the middle of all the angst and her little scene was the perfect balance for the chapter. Update soon. Please. :)
Thanks so much. I liked the idea of Harmony being distracted by shoes and whatnot in the middle of a crisis - she really is an airhead and such fun to write. Cliffhanger - yup, sorry! Had to stop there or my muse would have castigated me. Thanks again and I promise to update soon.

I wonder why Angel never noticed the aftertaste of his blood. Then again, knowing the broody one he probably just thought the blood tasted bad and thought that it was his penance for all the bad that he had done. Unlike Spike who would add things to the blood to make it taste better. For an undead guy, Spike really knew how to live! lol

I am really worried about what will happen next thanks to your foreshadowing so please don't keep us in suspense for too long! Still loving the story!
I think Angel was used to drinking pigs blood for so long that he didn't even consider there was anything wrong. And Harmony would be demanding the best, as usual, so it would be immediately apparent to her. I won't keep you hanging long, I promise, and thank you so much for your interest.

Yikes! Oh, please update soon!

After this, there's no way the Powers can hold Angel in higher regard than Spike. He doesn't even LIKE Angel, and yet he's still doing the right thing.

Kick ass, Big Bad!
I will, I promise. The Powers suck sometimes, but Spike has a way of becoming indispensible and partially due to his sense of noble sacrifice. One fight, coming up. Thanks for reading and reviewing.

good update, setting up great expectations for next chapter. thanks for the read.
Oooh, now that puts pressure on me! I hope I can live up to them. Thanks for reading and reviewing.

Go Spike! I sense some interesting trials coming up, and not the physical ones. At this point, those seem pretty unnecessary, especially for Spike. More story please.
Well spotted! I don't think physical trials would be anything more than a mere inconvenience to him. His battle will be in the mind. More very soon, and thanks!

Oooo Can't wait! I know our boy...he has the incentive he needs now to make it through.

This is such a compelling story I love the wonderful updates.

I think there is so much truth to the Angel character you have painted. That demon was always just barely under the surface and not so much under his soul's control either. So very different from Spike, even when Spike was unsouled. You have captured him perfectly here in this story.

Thank you so much Kathleen. I'm glad you find Angel believable. I don't want to 'bash' him because after all he has been chosen by the Powers to be a champion, but I do believe he is flawed. And I don't want him to get Buffy. :) I was always struck by the glaring differences between unsouled Angel and unsouled Spike - even before the chip, Spike was capable of reining in his demonic urges and considering his actions. Angel, however, was always slash and feed, however inventively. So - long winded response, but thank you. :)

ooooh...no! don't stop there...must have more...pleeeeeease.
*giggles* More to come very soon, just have to wait for my beta who's been having a well deserved holiday. Thanks for the review.

*wipes tears*
ohhhh dramatic ending, great update!
Thank you. Sorry to provoke tears!

"You are my heart"...unbelievably beautiful and romantic...love this chapter...can't wait for the next :)
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed. More is on its way, but my beta has been on holiday. As soon as I have it, so can you. Thanks again.

One of the problems with the concept of sacrifice is that, in general, it's not compatible with justice. If anything, as of the last few chapters this story is about sacrificing justice. And for what? For obedience to Power. This should give everyone pause for a few moments, and give anyone concerned with justice a sick feeling inside. At the beginning, I loved this story. But more and more it looks like the bad guy won't get the comeuppance I've been anticipating for more than a dozen chapters. I don't like this story anymore.
Sorry you feel that way Richard. And I'm not going to give the ending away just yet. Suffice to say that I have plans for all of the characters that may not be apparent so far. Thank you for taking the time to read and review in the past, and I wish you well in your search for stories that fit in with your definition of justice.
