wow nia....wow. powerful chapter!!! casey is dead but what a fight he put on. warrior spirit that one has. the hounds are hot on the trail now. i don't care if you break it up or not. if you feel you must or need to then do, if not then don't. i will always keep reading this story. hope your arm feels better

Always good to get an update. I feel so terrible for Dawn here. I still don't get Kirsten... seems I must have missed something. I hope Faith gets there soon to lend some kind of aid.

poor dawn. she just barely got someone in her life, and now that dumb ass angel took him from her. and, what's up with the hounds. yeah, i'm kinda lost. but i'm loving the story oh so very much. i really can't wait for more. please, please, please soon.

I feel bad for Casey but this was still a great chapter, as always. Keep up the excellent work.

Gods I can't think straight right now,but I will give you some sugar. THAT was fuckn phenomenal. Willow will pay for her deeds and Angelous shall die at the hand of one of them. That pissy poor excuse for a vampire, killing that boy. The hounds are going to find Willow and make her pay GOOD. I hope they tear her from limb to limb. If it were not for her the teens would not of been out. The would of known that Angelous was there waiting. Fuckn bint Willow. You did a fantastic job with this chapter. So much in it. I will have to read it all again, when my brain and heart does not hurt so badly.

Great chapter! But poor Casey he was so brave teling Angelus a few home truths about himself, and poor Dawnie losing her firs love like that

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.
