2 and 3 May 2003 - Helpless

Kenny and Faith

Kenny walked around Faith, who was still out of it in the chair. He slapped her again hard. She opened her eyes slightly.

"Where am I?" She looked down and saw she was tied to the chair. Faith struggled against the ropes, and yelled in frustration.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here? A Slayer with no strength. Fun." Kenny grinned as he held up an empty syringe.

"What did you do to me?" She struggled again to no avail.

"It's just an organic compound of muscle relaxants and adrenal suppressers. It will wear off soon. But hopefully after I've done what I wanna do. See, thing is, Faithy baby, you're mine for the moment. Maybe even forever." Kenny let out an evil laugh. "And you can't do anything coz you're helpless. You're just... a normal girl."

"You son of a bitch, let me out of here!"

"You forgot to say please," Kenny taunted, waving the syringe in her face. He put the syringe up to her arm and shot her full of the drugs again.

"Ah, God!"

"There. That should calm you down while I do something to you."

Faith's head fell back, she no longer had the strength to keep it up, she opened her mouth to speak, but everything felt numb. The roped were slightly loosened, and Faith knew this might be her only chance to make a break for it... but she couldn't move. Her arms and legs felt like lead.

Kenny smiled evilly and began to undo his pants. "Missed you."

An hour later, Faith could feel a tingling sensation coming back to her arms and legs. She tried to get out, but found she was still stuck to the chair. She looked around and saw Kenny was passed out on the makeshift bed.

"Where the hell am I?" Faith whispered desperately, looking for an escape. She looked down on the ground to see her underwear and she felt her tears stinging at her eyes. "I've gotta get out of here."

Waiting until she had full feeling back in her arms and legs, Faith rocked her chair back so she fell on her back on the ground. The chair snapped and Faith disentangled herself from the ropes, just as Kenny woke and stood up.

"Morning, Faith."

"Screw you."

"Oh no, we did that already, remember?" Kenny laughed again, while looking at his watch. "Mmm, I remember you were never one to stay the night... and this time, you had to. I wonder how your boy's doing?"

"Where is he?"

"Don't worry, he's back at home with his mommy and daddy. I'm not interested in him... it was you I wanted. And now I have you here, and I seem to be at a slight advantage, don't I?"

"What, you think you've found the 'Slayer Kryptonite'? Sorry to disappoint you, love, but there's no such thing. Those drugs are wearing off."

"Sure about that?"

Faith gave a powerful uppercut that sent Kenny flying into the wall behind him.

"Yeah, I'd say so. Thing you gotta know about me is when I'm not fighting, the itching for it builds up. So I'd say... you're in a bit of trouble right about now."

Kenny jumped to his feet. "See you think that you can hurt me, but..." He searched into her mind and shifted into Zac. "Hey you."

Faith shook her head. "No, see that's not gonna work," she said uncertainly.

"What's not going to work?"

"I know it's not Zac."

Kenny grinned as he advanced on Faith. He backed her into the wall and slammed her head against it. She fell to her knees.

"You're not... Zac..."

"Aren't I?" Kenny bent down and carried Faith over to the bed. He lay her down and undid his pants again. "Round two?"

Faith struggled as he lifted his weight above her. She screamed for help and with her last ounce of strength, she kicked him off her. "Stay away from me, I mean it... Zac." She got up and fell back to the bed, her head pounding. He stood up and went over to her again, pulling a syringe out from the drawer. He stabbed her in the arm and injected her again. She lay back on the bed, unable to sit up, and he got on top of her.


Faith, Kenny and Paige

Faith pushed Kenny off her. He'd just passed out when he was finished. She looked over at him and saw him as Zac. "You asshole." She weakly stood up and whispered for Paige.

Paige orbed in, looking worried. "Why didn't you call me earlier?"

"Just take me home." Paige grabbed her hand and orbed them back to the Manor.

Once they were back at the Manor, Faith fell to the ground, crying. Her mind was so jumbled, Kenny must've done something, she thought.

"What happened?"

"I need a shower. I feel dirty... down there." Faith weakly climbed the stairs and hopped into the shower. Once she was in the shower, she sat on the ground, letting the hot water burn her skin. Faith stepped out and dressed an hour later and went out to see Paige, who was waiting for her in the conservatory.

"Here, let me heal those." Paige reached over and healed the cuts and bruises on Faith's face. Faith winced and pointed to her ribs. Paige healed them silently.

"What happened?"

"I..." Faith's eyes filled up and she sat on the couch, gasping for air. "I ran into Kenny, and he was after Zac, and then he took me and he injected me with something and then he... to me... and then he shifted into Zac and he did it again and now... I..." Faith stopped talking, her mind still jumbled.

Paige hugged her. "Do you need anything? Can I do anything?"

"No... I just wanna be alone." Faith stood up slowly and went back upstairs, wavering slightly. She opened the door to her room and lay on her bed. She turned her face into the pillow and began to sob, unable to hold it in anymore. She sat up suddenly and looked in her mirror. "Stop crying Faith. Five by five, remember? Come on, five by five!" She forced herself to stop crying and she got up again. "I'm ok, I'm ok. Five by five."

She strode over to the window and sat down. "I am ok. I am."
