Phew. Blimey. Oh My Goodness.

What a dramatic chapter. Poor, poor Casey. Poor Dawn. Both of them were so brave. I thought for a fleeting moment that there would be a last minute save for them. Casey was becoming a solid character in his own right. I'm sad he's become another of Angelus's victims. I don't suppose there's mystical regenerative poer in Dawn's blood??

And... the Hounds.

"Each hound knew their place, each knew their task. One by one, they split off from the pack, until the alpha male was alone, his nose intent on the location of the traitor, while the others cut off all avenues of escape."

Willow? Angelus? Kirsten?

Great update as ever, pet. I'd be delighted to see this continue into a third book. There's such a wealth of adventure to mine here, and well into the second book, Origins continues to receive recognition through Awards and a faithful readership. I only hope those tokens continue to be sufficient incentive and reward for you.

i am so ( not) glad i caught up on these five chapters. i enjoyed every one of them, now i must wait to enjoy the continuation of the superb story you are crafting. thanks for writing it.

well, that's all you wanted, right? you didn't want to hear about thos story getting better and better? which i thought would be impossible. ( previous chap review should have read "had" not "hard". thanks for the pleasure.

love the last two chapters. was following the story on bloodshedverse, but knew that there must someplace more current. well worth the hunt and hard enjoyable reread of the earlier chapters. thanks

Thank goodness you've decided to continue! Great story, once again, keep it up.

*covers eyes* Eeeee, the suspense! This is sooo freaking good. Thank you!

I was thrilled to see an update today. I'm really liking Casey and hope he stays around. I am (as usual) anxiously awaiting another update!

Great chapter..Hope spike and buffy get there in time keeping my fingers cross for dawn and casey this is all willow fault can't wait win someone find's out what she did they will never forgive her ever..Wonder who the huntsmen and the dogs are after so hoping it's angel please that be my wish.And i so loved giles kissing anya go giles and it looks like faith is on her way.Great chapter nia hope your arm is geting better

Thank you for another terrific chapter - love how you're managing to keep the story going even when the characters have, literally, lost the plot.

go and help your family Faith... I can't believe that Willow was so carless to forget about the threat that Angel is?? But maybe I can since she only thinks about herself . I am just glad that they all have some inate instinct about what to do when they are threatened and when they reach Dawn and Casey all hell is going to break lose. Momma and Daddy are going to be really pissed that Dawn is hurt in the slightest. I hope the huntsman and Faith can get things put back on the right path.

I just absolutely love this story. I am so drawn and pulled into this story and characters that when I see a new chapter I am so excited.

You're writing a scary, brutal Angel. I can't wait to see how his attack on Dawn and Casey is resolved. Willow is going to be facing some serious payback when this spell is broken. Faith has no idea what she's getting herself into, I'm looking forward to her grand entrance. I'd forgotten all about The Huntsmen and the Hellhounds, so I'm glad to see they're re-entering the picture to add to the chaos.

You just love to leave us on the edge of our seats.
Love this last installment. Update soon, yeah
