Good, things are looking a tiny bit better for Spike! Right???

Thanks for the quick update!

Author's Response: Hi Michelle D - you're not wrong - things are looking a tiny bit better!! tee hee!! As for updating quickly? I think I would have been in trouble if I hadn't!! LOL!! I love doing daily updates when i can! :)

Thanks for the quick update. I am happy that he was sold to George and not the Polgara but I somehow think things will get worse for Spike before they get better. At least he will be back with Buffy (I hope) with an addiction to that blood. How will he be weaned from that? Heavy sigh of relief with fingers crossed.

Author's Response: Hi Bridget, thought I'd better not keep you all waiting too long!! keep those fingers crossed!!! LOL :)

I think it's real evil of you not to right out say it was George that bought him because now i'm thinkin there was another little fellow who didn't want alterations done, I mean I know your evil, wicked and enjoy tormenting us all , but, it was George , I know it was

Oww! owww! my liver hurts, Owwww!

Author's Response: Oh Jo you make me chuckle!! But so right in that I love torturing you all!! Tee hee!! *big hugs*

Nemol said the little guy and no alterations , it was George he was talking about right?

Author's Response: Hi Jo, by now you'll know that it was!! LOL :)

Oh my, you're really torturing Spike in this chapter.
It's more then time that they'll get him out there. :(
Seems they have a clue now. It's time indeed because Spike would be sold then and god knows how much hurt/harmed.

Author's Response: that's as bad as it gets! Hopefully the gang will get there in time....:)

Great chapter. I just wanted to say that I figured out your system for naming the your name demons for this fic. Very clever, you. : )

Author's Response: Glad you liked the chapter - think I've squicked a few readers out a bit!! But it's mostly been threats!! Not a bad way to come up with weird names huh? Tee hee!! Did the cyber twin thing a bit with the name George - but couldn't think of anything else 'normal' enough for him!! LOL!!

I am glad that Spike will be found (I hope) but I hope that he will not be so far gone mentally that he will be able to tell them about the collar. Also, I hope we don't get to the point that Spike will be castrated or have part of his leg cut off. I know the title is loss of pride but that would be going to far.

Author's Response: Rest assured Bridget - it's pride he's losing not limbs!!! Tee hee!! No way could I every have Spike losing bits!!! Just needed the threat to be there!! Good point about the collar tho.....

Yay the rescue party is on the way, poor Spike the mental consequences of this are going to be hard to deal with.

Author's Response: Hi nicka, let's hope the rescue goes well....!! Tee hee!!! More soon! :)

Oh my gosh, you HAVE to update soon! Don't leave us hanging. *bites nails* Poor Spike, they just have to get to him on time.

Author's Response: Hi Francine!! Hope your nails survive!! Will update asap!!! :)

i hate s in that condition. i used to love everything to do with power and humiliation but somehow i have ground out of it (thank god). the whole thing is disgusting. you are not going to break him completely, a some authors do, are you? if you do i'm gonna... i honestly don't know what. but right now you are writing terrible things. i hate what is happening to him so much, that it almost made me stop reading and afterwards i didn't quite manage to enjoy the other parts of the story. i understand that you are going to write your story like it goes, not like readers want it to and i respect that. i would never give in to readers pleas o demands or blackmail, so that is not what my review is about. just letting you know how it made me feel.

Author's Response: Don't worry Serinah he won't be messed with too badly and it's not going to go on too long either! just wanted another aspect of loss of pride to add to the story. The next chapter is of a similar vein but then things happen!! So i hope you manage to keep reading even if you skip a few paragraphs! :) Trust me to make all well again *hugs*

That little glimpse of what is going on with Spike was heartbreaking. I was hoping that he was resisting the blood, however I know that pain can be a terrible thing which can cause a person to do anything to abate it.

I am glad that Brad chastised Moira and Angel. Also his reaction to Angel being a vampire was amusing. Please update soon. Another good chapter but I am ready for Spike to get the upper hand. Please, please, please.

Author's Response: Hi Bridget! Glad you liked how Brad reacted to it all! Will update asap. As i mentioned in another response - the respite will be in chapter or so's time - the next one tells a bit more of what Spike is experiencing!! :)

Oh great - now he's some kind of drug addict! Great way to move the healing process along and we finally know who the mystery stalker is. You are worse than evil, woman! But I still love you. *hugs* (And I have two more chapters to read!)

Author's Response: Funny how the word 'evil' keeps cropping up!!! Tee hee!!! just figured things were getting a little bland!!! lol!! thanks so much for letting me know! :)

Yup, I like Brad too...

Hate what's happening to Spike, tho. I can't believe he is already so hooked on the drug *pouts* What humiliations will he endure before they save him?

I think I'll start pulling on her hair now on!!! Fix this!!!

*hugs*

Author's Response: Just had scary vision of Sotia with no eyelashes or hair!!! Hurries away to type up next chapter for betaing!!! *big hugs* Won't be torturing you or Spike for too long I promise!! :)
