This wasn't no regular prison. She knew that for sure.

There were people here deemed the worse in society who were in there for life for crimes even she was too afraid to think of.

And she, she had been deemed the worst because of her supernatural strength and they had taken it upon themselves to make sure that they broke her.

To those looking in from the outside the women's prison in California looked like any other ordinary prison, but for the dark Slayer on in the inside it was a fate worse than hell. Magic, they had told her had slowly ebbed away her power leaving her defenceless and vulnerable and the girl who was barely seventeen found herself tortured mercilessly day in and day out till she was no more than a shell of the vivacious spirit she had once been.

Visits from Angel, her saviour only pulled her deeper into her personal hell as he chatted happily about the goings on in his life seemingly unaware of her tortured appearance, the cuts and welts that marred her body going unnoticed by the one she thought could rescue her once again. His ignorance only served to damage her fragile state of mind even further and she begged for them to kill her. They refused of course; telling her over and over again that this is what she deserved, the beatings, the mental and physical torture was her punishment for her crimes. She believed them having been told over and over again that she was worthless, that there was something wrong with her that this is all that she would even be pushed her further towards the brink.

They would tell her later to further her pain that they had used magic to create a glamour and shield her true appearance from her saviour so that even he had no idea how bad it was for her. The magic was what stopped her being able to tell him what was going on, every time she tried it was as if her mouth couldn't form the words that her brain was screaming at her to say.

So she would wait curled up on the floor of her cell to wait when they would make a mistake, anything that would allow her to escape, escape from the hell within these four walls.
