Yep, Jesse's down...I do try to follow canon (and while I really wanted Darla to be the one to kill him, I sadly had to compromise on that) on occasion and surprise you all. ;)

Little Dawn may show up again- not in this fic, though...

I loved when Faith wanted to save only Xander -reminded me of Anya in Fear, Itself.

I wanted to emphasize that for some, nothing has changed. Faith has never been a part of her grade, and even now, she's not going to go out of her way to help anyone else.

How ever will she break out of this mess? ;D

A fire? You are even meaner than me!

[coalitiongirl]

Eh, Dru's been warning them about it for ages... ;)

Wow, I like your action packed chapters :)))

Loved the Willow/Tara stuff. Curious about the light, was it some form of presence of Tara in Willow's mind or heart?

Die Angelus, die!!!

I'd like to think that that was Willow's own light, the last little bit of goodness that she lost back in Chapter 44(?) returning to her. But I was vague about it because there's no real time for a rational explanation about it in the middle of a war... :)

Guess the students will get a chance to see what it's like to fight with fists and fangs. Not surprised Buffy's first thought was to get to Spike. Now a cliffhanger ending!!!

[coalitiongirl]

Yep, time to finally wrk at what they've been training for...and Buffy, of course, thinks only of Spike. ;)
