incredible first chapter...tense and so plausible. i'm off to read chapter 2!!!
thanx, so glad you like it :)

OK, you got me, it can only be Xander since it's a man and you had me thinking for a while that it was about Buffy, but he called Spike a thing, so this is about Anya and Xander with his dark eyes. Very excited to start this fic. Thanks DOS. This is the first new story I've started since I've been back.
you're very perceptive, as you know now.. you were rigth :) thanx for your review, love :)

had to reread, to try to eliminate the possibilities. don't recall xander ever beating spike, so i'm quessing it is my next least favorite person, riley. not that xander is at the top of the list, angel and giles have those spots. the conversation and the gun seem to rule them out. ok, i have my quess and i have not told you what fantastic opening this was. thank you for the excellent read.
well, xander still qualifies, depending on your interpretation of "beating" -- if you count the incident outside the magic box at the end of entropy...xander still qualifies...not that i'm saying it's xander, i'm not doing the big reveal so early... :)...but it still *could* be.. :) thanx so much for the review, i take it as a compliment that i was able to get more than a couple of lines out of ya ;) lol

Xander or Riley? My guess is Xander. I really love your writing. Your site rocks. You write beautiful spara. Oh, and Bond is back but guess the gunman doesn't know that considering he's still in 2002.
thanx so much, and you're right i suppose...though bond never was in to begin with for me :P lol...thanx so much for all the compliments, glad you like my spara stuff as well :)

Okay, this is one of the few stories that has left me figuratively pulling my hair out cause I'm so anxious for the next chapter. You really need to update soon. Also I'm thinking Xander for the shooter....maybe. I mean I think he could get that dark. So yeah, for now my tentative guess is Xander.
i will be updating soon, love, promise...not telling as to who the shooter is..more clues soon... :)

11/15/2006 04:53 pm
Ooo Oooo I'll bet it'll turn out to be Angel the "perfect" and Buffy will have to take a second look at the character of her first love! Bring it on!

Kathleen
lol...that would be nice, yeah?

Wow.
So glad to see you starting a new story, and it looks like it's going to be a great one.

Now, I'm laying odds with myself as to which of the two people I'm considering is actually in the crypt with Spike.
thanx so much, hope you enjoy it....there are three actual suspects...hmmm...

11/15/2006 06:29 am
Talk about starting off with a bang! Wow! That was some opening chapter. I'm surrendering right here and now. You've got me hooked - gotta have more and the sooner the better. Uh, please? :)
couldn't resist the pun, eh? :) glad you're enjoying it so far...more soon :)

Okay, at first I thought this was Angel, but now after re-reading, I think maybe it's Xander--all pissed off about Anya and probably about Buffy, too. Am I right? Guess we'll see. Anyway, really glad you started another story--always enjoy your work!
not telling who it is yet..could be several different people...hope you enjoy it as it goes along :)

11/15/2006 05:32 am
Oh God! Hooked me already. Can't wait for the next update. :)
more soon, love :) thanx :)

11/15/2006 03:02 am
Dreams - Okay that was very creepy and scary. Riley? Can't wait for more.

I must protest about that crack about Bond movies. Where else are we going to find out what cool sunglasses we need to buy?
not telling who just yet...i just had to get that little crack in there, IMO, Bond is just incredibly cheesy...lol :)

Great beginning. My first thought was that it was Xander...then Riley...now the thought..could it be Angel? The "taken from *You* line has me thinking that way. But then why the gun...OMG...you have me hooked once again and on pins and needles! I've never reviewed your stories before, but have to let you know what a wonderful author you are and how much I've enjoyed all the stories you've written! Update soon please :)
lol...i'm glad it's got you wondering...i tried to make it, at this point, open to be any of the three possible villains...glad you're enjoying it, more soon :)

Love the mystery behind the attacker.

Great start - shall eagerly be awaiting more. :)
thanx so much :)

11/14/2006 06:35 pm
GASP! Wooooo great start (I'll withhold all puns about starting with a bang). My mind is racing....I'm torn...it could be Xander but it could also easily be Riley returned to finish what he tried to start a few weeks before......hum.....

Honey you write Spike in peril stories like no one else! I can hardly wait for the updates on this one!

Kathleen
actually there are three potential suspects that the conversation could logically fit :) glad you are enjoying it, more soon :)

Oh my God! How could you start out a story like this and then leave a cliffy. I don't know whether to praise you for getting me hooked so quickly or curse you for leaving me hanging. You have to update soon, otherwise that;s just cruel.
lol...praise, not cursing... :P glad you're already hooked, and i will update soon :)

This is an absolutely amazing story! I can't wait to find out where you take things from here. Please please update asap!
thanx so much, glad you like it so far...more soon :)

11/14/2006 04:45 pm
*sigh* Damn you for writing so well that I have to sit through Spike torture to read your stories. I hate Spike torture. I read all of Blood Bound and Trusting You, but I never could bring myself to review because, though I loved the storylines and couldn't wait to read updates, it always came with the dread of seeing Spike suffer. Some situations seemed very excessive, and I've never been the type to flame anyone, or even give criticism. But I'm reviewing now, simply to say that I really do enjoy your stories, and think that you are extremely talented and I look forward to reading more of this fic. I just may not always review the updates...
hey, i have no problem with you saying exactly what you think...there is a difference in flaming someone and giving them genuine, thoughtful criticism, and personally, i dont mind concrit a bit...i hope you enjoy this story (which really shouldn't be nearly as extreme as some of my others)

Good story so far. I really did not expect that. I am sure it is Xander but I believe he is talking about Buffy also, and not just Anya. Please update soon.
thanx so much, glad it caught you by surprise...could be both girls, couldn't it? more soon :)

Okay there's some major derriere kicking need here! whether it's who I believe to be Xander or the author for another one of her delicious..leaving them wanting more ending ..

As I gaze into my crystal ball I see myself becoming addicted to another of her EXCELLENT stories.
lol...i hope you do, love :) i know i deserve it, but are you so sure about xander? ;) we shall see :)

11/14/2006 01:42 pm
That's cruel. You can't just leave it there. I sure hope chapter 2 is on it's way, and fast.
it will be up soon, love, promise :)

11/14/2006 01:02 pm
Poor Spike! Do vampires get brain damage? Guess we'll find out, won't we?
we'll find out soon :)

11/14/2006 01:00 pm
That's messed up. I bet the mystery villain is Xander, and I right? Can't wait for the next update. Your stories are always done so well.
we'll see :) thanx so much for the kind words :)

Xander must die! Stupid illogical boy....they'll all be horrified when they see what you did, Xander.
Hey! Spike qualifies for a vengeance wish!

Come back here with the next chapter!!!!!!!!!!!
are you sure it's xander that must die? ;)...yeah, spike should qualify for vengeance, should he want it...we'll have to wait and see how everyone reacts when they find out...

11/14/2006 08:36 am
WOW .. i REALY can't wait for more.
:)

11/14/2006 08:36 am
WOW .. i REALY can't wait for more.
coming right up, love :)

11/14/2006 08:16 am
is this riley or xander? or is that part of the surprise?
part of the surprise, pet...it'll hopefully remain a mystery for a bit yet :)

11/14/2006 08:00 am
OMG! You shot Spike! What a way to begin a story. Now I'll *have* to read it...to see if he survives! You evil thing you! :P
lol...never said i wasn't, did i?? he has to survive...otherwise how can there be eventual spuffy? :)
