Chapter 2 - A Second Chance?
3 hours later the helicopter landed in London. Faith, disoriented from the flight awakens feeling rested.
"Wow, I didn't even feel tired. I guess flights do that to yah, huh Chuck?" Faith asked.
"Yes, yes they do make you drowsy." Charles sputtered out.
The two of them exited the chopper and headed for the door where they met two bodyguards.
"Pretty stealthy around here." "Yes Faith, we run a tight facility here. No one enters or leaves without us knowing. Security is our top priority." Charles replied. At the end of the stairs was a long hallway with no doors on either side, it seemed. But when Charles stepped in front of one of the wall he was able to enter an identification code just by thinking. The wall then opened to reveal another hallway, this one busier, with doctors and businessmen in every room. "This way Faith, we need to be in your room in a few minutes for check in." Charles said Three hallways down and up one flight of stairs and they were there. A small room that looked more like an insane asylum room. Walls and floors all in white with barred windows. "Not much different from my old room. A little cleaner I suppose." Faith said examining the room. "Oh, don't be so glum. This is only for the first week. You will be in your next room then." "I have to go visit Dr. Walker, your new physician. I should be back in a few minutes." Said Charles. Charles then left the room and locked the door. Faith walked around her room and unpacked her things. All of a sudden she was interrupted with a faint hissing noise. She looked around the room and could not see anything odd, so she continued unpacking her clothes. 3 hours later she awoke on her bed, disoriented and confused. Charles walked in with some papers for Faith to sign. "Oh my, I'm sorry to wake you Faith. I didn't see that you were sleeping." "That's weird, I don't remember falling asleep." Faith said. "Well that jet lag sure is a bother." Said Charles. "I guess so. Hey Chuck, did you unpack my things while I was sleeping? 'Cause I remember that I hadn't finished yet." Asked Faith. "Uh.yes I did. We just needed to take them in and wash them for you. Keeps them fresher for this new environment. Faith Dr. Walker will see you now. Lets go." Faith entered Dr. Walker's room and sat down. "Faith, how nice to see you. How was your flight?" asked Dr. Walker "Good, though I missed the better part of it." Faith said "Charles, would you please leave so I can talk to Faith alone?" asked Dr. Walker "Yes, I will wait outside." Charles replied as he walked out the door. "Faith, my job as your doctor is to evaluate your problems, treat you for them, and to try and make you happy and healthy." "Yeah, so. what do I do?" "You talk to me and answer questions. That's all. But the first step in getting better faith is to want to get better. Now do you want to get better?" "Yeah, I want to be able to fell sorry for my actions, and to learn to live with them." "And we will help you with that. All we need is your cooperation. Do we have it?" "Yeah, I'm ready." "Good, well today we are just going to get to know you a little and have a chat. Now I have something to show you, just some crystals that seem to give a sense of prosperity to some other clients. Ok?" "Sure, if it will help." Dr. Walker than walked over to his cabinet and took out 2 blue and 1 purple large crystals. He placed them on a desk in front of Faith. "Now, look into these. Study the middle one carefully. This on is called a Grounding Crystal. Now concentrate very carefully at its center for a flaw. It is located in its core. "Sure, so am I supposed to blink?" "Yes you may blink." "Faith?" Dr. Walker studies Faith for a bit. Faith is hypnotized. Sitting dazed, starring into this stone. He then reaches under the table, and picks up a case which contains a needle with a blue substance in it. Turning back to Faith, he swabs her arm and injects her with its fluid. She doesn't flinch. One more swab then he quickly shoves his needle back into his case, and places the case carefully back underneath the table. He then waves his hand in front of Faith and she is awakened. "So, is this thing going to start working its mojo or should I keep looking?" Faith asked. "No, that will be all for today." "Weren't we supposed to talk?" "No, in a later visit. Charles Will escort you back to your room. 'Charles!" Dr. Walker called. "Yes?" "Please bring Faith here back to her room." "Certainly. Come along Faith." Faith got up and followed Charles back to her room. "So what's with that guy?" Faith asked. "Who, Dr. Walker? He's a great guy." "He seems kind of strange. Made me look at some crystals all day long." "Already? I guess he.." Charles covered his mouth and pretended as if he had not spoken. "Here we are. Now I will be back in a few hours for dinner. Will you be okay until then?" "Yes, I will be fine." Charles then walked out of the room and locked the door behind him. Faith turned around and sat on her bed. She turned on her stereo and began to read her magazine when all of a sudden she fell into a deep hypnotic sleep. Moments later she awoke in a new room. She was on a medical bed, and tied in with leather straps. "What. where am I? What's going on?" Faith begun to scream and in walked Charles. "Good, your awake." "Charles, what's going on here?" "Oh Faith don't worry, its part of your rehabilitation." "What is?" "You will see soon enough. Send her in boys." The door opened and in walked the last person Faith wanted to see. Drusilla. "Ah, she's a pretty one. Just like my little cat back when I was a girl. Does she like to play?" "Drusilla, we need to get to business. Please just bite her so we can carry out with the plan. But not too much blood. We want to keep poor Faith alive enough to have her thirsty for you." Charles Replied. "Charles, what the hell kind of rehab is this!" Faith screamed. Drusilla begun to walk over to Faith as she switched into her game face. Faith screamed and struggled to break free just as Drusilla came close to her neck.
