| "You have always longed to belong to something, someone. You've needed to feel a part of something, something that accepts you, loves you. Something you can love. Someone you can love, someone that loves you. I am all that you have desired Faith. Ecstasy and complete relaxation course through your veins now. It feels so right. All insecurity, doubt, and fear have been removed. They have been replaced with blissful obedience, singleness of purpose, and desire" | |

Faith sat in front of Mesmotto, fully accepting his words. She had stopped resisting completely about three hours ago. Mesmotto was converting her, fully. He had deepened her trance to a level 10. Then he went over her past, using it to bind her to him. Telling her subconscious what it wanted to hear. As he did with all his women, he dressed her up, making her feel elegant, and feminine. Faith had fully embraced her new role. |
| Giles stared at his captive slayer. He noticed
her head starting to move, the tranquilizer must be wearing off. He was
nervous, unsure how she would react. She could try to kill him, hoping to
run back into Mesmotto's arms. Or, she could begin to gain some of her own
will back. Giles hoped that the latter would be more the case. "Buffy, Buffy", he called gently. Buffy was just waking, Giles voice was calming and familiar. Where was she? What was going on, why did |

her head hurt? What was the last thing that happened? Faith,
Giles ... Mesmotto. Mesmotto, she had to get back to Mesmotto, she had to
protect him. Giles had kidnapped her. He is trying to free her. She doesn't
want to be freed. Giles wouldn't hurt her. She is safe. She must get back
to Mesmotto. All of these thoughts went through her head before she even opened her eyes. |

Buffy looked up at Giles. The struggle within her was apparent. |

"How powerful is Mesmotto, Buffy?" "He is the most powerful, wonderful force in the universe, and soon we will establish the worship, and the wealth he deserves!", she blasted out. "Yes, well that is why it may not be wise" "Oh.", Buffy realized what a natural, automatic reaction that had been. "I think we might be making progress though, do you know why I have you here?", Giles asked. |
| "Yeah. You're trying to free me." "From what." "From Mesmotto" "Do you want to be freed?" "No. I want to go to him." "Do you feel that as strongly as when Faith and I first captured you?" Buffy said nothing, she just looked down. "We are making progress", Giles confirmed. |
