Good chapter, like this story alot so far. Very nice idea with the snake/demon creature and it being telepathic.

Author's Response: Maybe not an original idea, but hopefully I played with it enough to make Meret my own. Thanks for reviewing!

I love Meret shes so cute, I think her and Spike's relationship is so sweet.

Author's Response: And there I thought I was weird for thinking snakes are cute... I'm glad you like her too.

I wonder what the Scoobs will make of Merit. Update soon so we can find out.

Author's Response: Do I look like the kind of person who would drag out a big reveal scene? Oh wait... :-D Hopefully the next few chapters won't disappoint.

Loving Spike's new friend! Appreciating the including Dawn thing. Didn't it suck donkey balls when the writers just abandoned their friendship after the first episode of season six? Her friendship with Spike was the one thing I actually liked about Dawn.
Anyhoo, love it, love it, love it!

Author's Response: I wish we had seen more of their interaction as well. It shed a little light on a part of Spike's personality that went virtually unexplored in the series. Thanks for reviewing!

Mmmm. That chapter gave me all smiley, friendly, feelings in the back of my noggin. Couple that with the additional Spikey, albeit one-sided, dialogue and this chapter has left me full of warm fuzzy feelings and... we're off to see Dawn next chapter - cool.


Author's Response: I had to interject at least some warm fuzzies into my rewrite of the angst-fest that was season six. Glad to see you're liking it! Oh, and I promise multi-sided dialogue in the next chapter!

*gg* I had no time to read so I checked the internet for the colors of the dragons again. Awe, your red one is very cute :-D Meret is the name now? Loved the bonding :) This one will be good for Spike (I hope). Everyone needs a friend. Looking forward to find out what Dawn (and Buffy) will say to Meret. Thanks for the update.

Author's Response: Thanks! I was kind of worried about writing this chapter because Spike can be so touchy about people playing with his mind (and with good cause!).

Awww. Spikey's got a friend. :) At least this one can sort of communicate with him. I can't wait to see Dawn's face on this one either lol.

Author's Response: The only person who is comfortable communicating her feelings in the whole Sunnydale crew is Anya, and look where that gets her! Glad your enjoying the fic.

Cool chappy. Been a very long time since I read Anne McCathery(sp) though. Still interesting going here.

Author's Response: Most of the McCaffrey link was knocked out in this chapter. Thanks for reviewing!

Huh, good mystery going. The mice seem to have snake bites, and the little pet left them as an offering. Like cats that are proud of the bird they leave on your doorstep.

Author's Response: I'm going to have to plead the fifth on this idea. :-) Thanks for leaving a review!

All that remained of what had once been a hollow, green orb the size of a small orange was a shattered fragment held to the chain by a delicate gold ring. Hollow, huh? Having read the books I think of something now. Especially after were three dead mice, arranged neatly like an offering. But I may be wrong or it happened sooner as I thought *remembers the red eyes* But it would make sense :-D And it was attached to a ring to wear it around a neck, right? Would have kept it warm when worn. Looking forward to the next part :)

Author's Response: All very good guesses. :-) I'm still withholding any extra clues though. Most of the "whats" will become glaringly obvious in the next chapter. Then I have the rest of the story to play with the "whys" and repercussions. Thanks for reviewing!

Yay! More! I'm really liking your Spike and the ways he comes up with to amuse himself. Immortality must be mostly boredom. I'm glad you have someone caring about Spike, even if it is a demon-snake thing.

Author's Response: Spike does kind of need a keeper doesn't he? Whenever he gets bored, he ends up in all kinds of trouble. Thanks for taking the time to comment!

*slaps hand over mouth* NO, I'm not gonna start speculating in public over what came out of that e.. *shhh* Gah, this is hard LOL

Anyway, nice to see the first chapter wasn't a fluke. It's so great to find new authors who can tell an interesting story. And no, I don't think it's boring or dry at all. (Need to say this: saw "ChrissieLinnit's" comment, and funny thing: for me it's the opposite. I tend to prefere narrative over dialouge.) Looking forward to more.

PS: I think I might be in love with Dave, hehe.

Author's Response: :-D Yes, thank you for your discretion. I'm glad you prefer narrative over dialogue because I'm going to spend a lot of time playing with Spike's past and motivations in this story. Thanks for commenting!

I loved him talking to Dave. That's awesome.

Author's Response: There were too many times on the show when Buffy would kick in the door of Spike's crypt and the expression on his face made me think "He was talking to something!" I'm glad you like that little quirk. Thanks for commenting!

Hmmm.... intriguing. I like being intrigued, so I'll carry on reading.

For a first fic, I'm VERY impressed. Well written, maybe a little heavy on the narrative and lacking in dialogue for my personal taste but that's me. You've either got a really good Beta or you're attention to structure, grammar and spelling is very acute. Either way, it makes this a painless read and the first two chapters cleverly capture pique the readers interest.

I'm looking forward to the next chapter. Thank you for posting. *smiles*

Author's Response: My beta and I are both pretty picky about spelling and grammar. I'm glad to see our efforts have been appreciated. Because so much of this story is about what Spike is like when no one it looking, the dialogue is going to remain pretty sparse. I hope you'll still enjoy the story though. Thanks for the feedback!

Oh wow! I just love how easily you can get into Spike's mind to give us a superb characterization. All his thoughts and feelings are incredibly true to what we saw of him in the show. And the mystery of the red eyes continues, but now with the clues of the broken charm and the squeezed mice. Can't wait for more!

Author's Response: Thank you!

Really promising beginning, which I've bookmarked so I do hope you continue. Really nice characterisation of Spike. I especially liked the drunken singing and his naming of the 3 vampires after The Furies - they both felt like just the sort of things Spike would do! Also very intrigued as to why he's still feeling hungry after consuming the blood.

Author's Response: I'm glad you liked his nicknames for the vampire trio. I always figured that more was going on in Spike's mind than he ever let on. Thanks for reviewing!
