Because He Needs Me by DreamsofSpike
Chapter: Time's Up

I so hope this is graphic.

Because it sounds like Spike's almost back to his old self, and I want him to take out all of this on Xander with the zeal that he always garnered when he was The Big Bad.

It's getting really interesting.
well, graphic might not be the right word...poetic justice? ironic?

i dont understand why no one likes her... she's spike's bestest ally...

You know, I think that's why I don't like her in this story. I'm like... jealous of her for Buffy or something. lol.
lol...could be...it's just that so many people are like, "Kill Dawn!" and i'm like, what hope would spike have in this fic if she wasn't taking his side? *flabbergasted*

*"And when is Spike ever *not* in danger, anyway?”* Seetaht's a question we'lll never find an answer to.

Welcome back Spike. What Xander did to his parents was sick. Sure they were terrible parents but parents still and Xander owes them atleast a sperm and an ova. That debt he should've paid not by forgiveness but by leaving them alone and forgetting they were ever a part of his life.It's obvious that Xander needs help and if Giles was half as observant as he claims to be he would have gotten him that help when the whole Hyenna incident happenned. As for Buffy, well I don't think she really loves Spike yet. Infact-and please don't kill me fellow spuffy lovers- I don't think she ever even realized that she was in love with him. Not even in Chosen. She loved him it was obvious but she was so lost in Egypt that she never realized it otherwise she would never have left that cave never mind whether he believed her or not.

lol...to the first part....
and yeah, xander's totally messed up...and buffy needs to do some growing still...but she will :)

about time. very good chapter, thank you.
thanx, love, glad you liked it :)

I just so want Xander to get what's coming to him...
he will, i promise :)

YAY!!! GET 'EM SPIKE!!!

Oh, Xander...

I like you injection of humor, even at the darkest moments - Buffy forgetting they could DRIVE to Xander's (and still getting half way there before those ifn vehicles could catch her) Anya knowing Angel's driving - and Angel grumbling about it.

Glad to see Spike coming back to himself.
lol...glad you like that, love...i try to keep it at least a *little* balanced, you know? :) thanx, love, glad you liked it :)

I would have paid money to see Buffy running to the house without thought of getting there in a car. Hopefully now they will all get there and be able to help regain control of this situation. I'm glad Spike realized that Xander has limited power over him, and part of that power comes from what Spike gives him with his fear, but I really hope Xander didn't take time to reload that gun. Seems like this situation helped Spike reclaim part of himself if his last comment is anything to go by
lol..thanx so much for your thoughtful review, you're very much right, love...except the gun is not xander's, it's his dads, so he doesn't have to reload it :(

Of course I am not happy about another cliffhanger, but it appears you enjoy them so I have nothing else to say about that. This is a great chapter, because Spike is coming back to himself and he will stand up to Xander on his own which I think is important for his recovery.
lol, sorry love, cliffies are just a part of my writing...glad you enjoyed the chapter :)

YEA!!!!!!!! (jumping up and down ) YES YES YES YES!!!!! IN YOUR FACE XANDER!

(deep breaths) ok Great chapter! WONDERFULLY written!

Part of me wants Spike to kill him and have the other be just alittle to late to stop him...but another part of me hopes he is stopped just in time so Xander can spend the rest of his life in prison being called Bubba's B**ch..

Great Chapter! Thank you!
lol...sounds like a good idea ;)

Hurrah for Spike!!!! Xander is totally gone though beyond any help or reason, little more than a rabid dog and we all know how they end up.
you're right, there's no helping him now...thanx for the review, love ;)

Xander is such a freak! Oh, I hate him! He is sooo nasty! He needs to die a slow and EXTREMELY painful death!!!!

Go Spike! That's bloody right, asshole! Your time is up!!!!! GGRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, great chapter, hun! Please update soon!
you're right, xander needs to pay...and he will :) thanx for your review, love :)

Thank you Demon!!!!!

Funny middle part, there, with Dawn's description of Angel's driving. Yeah, speed isn't a limitation in that car, with that engine....the only limit is the '60s suspension going around corners, as those were cars built to go very fast in a straight line! But, hey...vampire reflexes...

Mama's dying, and Daddy's probably dead.....oh, what a mess you've made, Xander. So, what do they do with him?
yeah, xander's parents are a lost cause...and by now you know what happened to xander...thanx for the review, love :)

The scene with Xander killing his parents while Spike listens was freakishly scary. Great chapter.

“Bloody right, time’s up!”

That line is so wonderfully Spike

"'You’re both guilty! Gotta pay – you’ve both gotta pay for what we did…you’ve both gotta pay, or it’ll never be right again…'"

What does he mean for what WE did? Is there a secret about Xander's family that we don't know about?
yeah, i liked spike's line too :)

and as for xander's, it's just his psychosis showing...he subconsciously is blaming his parents for the things he's done...he sees them as being just as guilty as he is

This story is so twisted! It's kept me on the edge of my seat since the beginning. I've looked forward to each update. I've really sucked at leaving reviews for this story, but I just wanted you to know that I love it! I think I'd follow this plotline forever. I can't wait to see what happens next (I can't believe Xander killed his parents, EEK!). Thanks so much for writing!
thanx so much for your kind review, love, so glad you're enjoying the story... :)

I`m sitting here with goosebumps. OMG,what a chapter!!!!The internal discussion Spike had with himself,real good!And to end the chapter with “Bloody right, time’s up!” was absolutely brilliant Something wicked is coming this was.

I wonder though,how the Scoobies will react when they see the corpses upstairs. Talk about raising one crazy kid.
thanx so very much, so glad you liked it...and yeah, xander really lost it there ;(

GO SPIKE! I knew he could do it -- I hope it's without Scooby assistance too.
lol...pretty much, love...thanx so much :)

Great chapter DoS! But please update soon! and knowing from your previous stories we are not even close to the end are we?
well, we're nearing the end...but it's gonna be a good ways yet :) lol

Good for Spike, he's finaly getting his own back!

Lovely chapter :)
yep...thanx so much, love :)

02/01/2007 03:25 pm
I have a feeling they're not going to get there too late, they're going to arrive to save the day and discover that a rescue party is completely unneccessary. I'm pretty sure Xander isn't getting out of this one unscathed, though.
i have a feeling you're right on all counts, love ;)

02/01/2007 02:55 pm
YAY!
:)

02/01/2007 02:04 pm
Yaaaaay!!!!!

Yes!!! Taking back what was his. His memories and so much more. He's more powerful then Xander is. So excited about this. Thanks for updating. Need more DOS.
thanx so much, love, glad you enjoyed it :)

02/01/2007 09:52 am
I ndidn't think Xander would have killed his mom. Father yes, but not his mom. The boy is crazy. I wish I was there to see the look of surprise on his face as Spike attacked him.

Glad to see things clicking for our fav. bleach blond. Can't wait to see what will happen next.
yeah, he totally lost it...thanx for your review, love :)

02/01/2007 06:31 am
Finally Spike stood up for himself (don't take my wrong, it's not like he culd do it before, I just felt like finally!). Great chapter.
thanx, love, glad you enjoyed it :)

All the pain and agita of reading was worth it...for the last six paragraphs! :) The Big Bad is on his way back, at last.
thanx, so glad you enjoyed it :)

02/01/2007 04:29 am
okay, yea for Spike!

But can someone pleae 'accidentally' run over Dawn? Pretty please? I'm begging here...
i dont understand why no one likes her... :( she's spike's bestest ally...

02/01/2007 04:28 am
I must agree.

About time you gave Spike back his balls.
glad you approve ;P

02/01/2007 03:58 am
you’ve both gotta pay for what WE did…you’ve both gotta pay, or it’ll never be right again…”

How typical in today's society to blame others for our ultimate choice! YES Xan was abused and that laid the groundwork...BUT Xan is the one who chose to go down that path! Sounds like he's assigning some blame to his folks for his actions here.

WOW powerful chapter and YAY Spike!!!!! He's regaining himself here and Xander better hope the rescue squad DO show up before Spike remembers all of his abilities!

Wonderful just wonderful!!

Kathleen (and Jim)
thanx so very much to both of you, glad you're enjoying the fic...and i'm glad you understood what i was doing with that line of xander's, it wasn't clear to everyone :)

Yeah Spike, not quite himself yet, but getting closer.

I'd suggest adding a sentence or two about why Willow can't just transport there - and Anya too for that matter.
lol...well, they could, but what would they do all on their own there ahead of everyone else? it's more likely that they'd just all go together :)

02/01/2007 02:39 am
All I can say is....YAY!!!
:)

02/01/2007 02:02 am
Loved the last line--can't wait for more.Thanks!
thanx, glad you liked it :)

02/01/2007 01:47 am
Stop staaaaalllling! You are always so mean with the cliff-hangers!
lol, yes i am...but i'm not stalling :P

02/01/2007 01:31 am
Yessssss! Go Spike!!! Kill pussycat kill!!!
lol
