Welcome to the next installment of "Requiem for the Damned." It's been a riveting plot so far and the climax is coming soon. I am very happy that I am getting all this support. Thank you to all you reviewers and all you loyal readers (Special thanks is coming your way…). Ok then… here's chapter six. WARNING: Slightly "rapey." No sex though. Just thought you would like to know… Let's just hope Faye can survive long enough to see her true love…

Faye had been stuck in thought for the last fifteen minutes. How could I have been so damn careless! She chastised herself as the small ship carried her and Jason ever closer to Koltran and to the Red Dragon's new headquarters.
"Are we getting any closer?" Jason said from the back. A small wisp of silvery smoke came from the shadows behind Faye. The smell of the cigarette made the need for one well up inside her. It was too bad though. Jason had her pack.
"Go fuck yourself." Faye continued to pilot the ship, a new feeling of revulsion for the man behind blossoming in her mind. Before that feeling could continue to grow, the knife was back on her throat.
"I asked you a question Valentine." Jason's voice seemed to cut her worse than the knife would. Faye shook a little, a combination of fear and anger. Guilt took another swing at her as silence filled the cabin.
You careless little girl. ALWAYS getting yourself caught, completely helpless without Spike to save you. Faye closed her eyes.
"Well…" Jason forced the knife closer and Faye's eyes shot open. A small trickle of blood dripped down her front. The bastard had cut her, not deep enough yet to kill, but Faye could tell he was willing to finish the job.
"W-w-we have about another hour." Faye tried to focus but panic was starting to grip her.
"We may not have another hour if you don't answer me next time." Jason pulled the knife away, slowly enough to make the cut a little deeper.Faye sighed. "Don't feel relieved yet, doll face." Jason grabbed her face harshly and turned it around so she could see him. A large grin was planted on his face, the cigarette hanging loosely from his lips. He pulled it out delicately and moved his face close enough to Faye's that she could fell the tip of his nose on hers.
"I won't forget to have my way with you before this is over." Jason forced his lips onto hers. He slipped his tongue into her mouth and Faye resisted the urge to bite it off. She could taste beer and ash. When Jason finally parted with her and returned to his cigarette, Faye made a small mental note.
If and when I escape, I am going to blow his fucking head off. Both of them.

The day, having been a shitty one, was finally looking up.
An hour ago, Faye and Jason had just been arriving on Koltran. Faye's heart leapt as Jason had pointed out the headquarters. Just knowing that Spike was in there brought new hope to her miserable heart.
"Land there, it's the parking lot." Jason poked a finger in her peripheral vision. She followed it to where the parking lot was and snickered.
"A little shabby, don't you think?" Faye smiled, sarcasm filling her voice.
"Very funny bitch." Jason slapped her across the face. Pain was what came to her first, then anger.
"I'm sorry your superiors can't afford better pavement." Faye grinned again, taking the pain for what it was worth. Each hit she took would fuel her farther. She landed and opened the hatch.
"Well, what are you waiting for jerk off? Get out." Faye waited a moment for Jason to move. He did, but not without reaction. As he got out, he made a point to pull her out, by the hair, afterwards. She hit the ground hard, back first. Jason loomed over her, a wicked smile on his face. He kicked her in the side, forcing her to turn over.
As if out of nowhere, Jason pulled out a pair of cuffs from his pocket. A horrible thought entered Faye's head. How many girls has he used those on? Before she could ask, she was bound and looking up at him again.
"Now that we're here, the real fun can begin. I don't need to worry about hurting you now. Your mine for the taking." Jason, still grinning, pulled out a switchblade. With a quick flick, the blade was out.
"Make one sound, and I will cut your voice box out. I can't harm that little mouth of yours yet. I'm gonna need that." He flicked his tongue at Faye.
"You pervert. You're lucky you got me in your cu-" The wind was knocked out of her as a swift punch landed in her gut. The word "cuff" came out as a wheeze.
"You're right. I am lucky I've got you in cuffs. That's exactly how I like it." Jason smirked. He proceeded to kneel next to her. With a quick flick of his wrist, the strap holding her blouse shut was cut, revealing the violet bra beneath. Faye stole a glance at his eyes and what she saw scared her. They seemed to be shining, even in the darkness that surrounded them.
"You… could have… at least… bought me dinner first." Faye forced out. Triumph filled her heart as Jason frowned and stood up.
"Will you just shut the fuck up!" He made to kick her but was stopped when he received a kick of his own, right in the knee. Jason legs buckled and Faye made for another hit. This time in the groin. Jason cried out in pain and hit the ground. Tears streamed down his face.
Faye laughed as another thought came to her mind. Stilettos: Not just a fashion statement. But the laughing had to be cut short. Before she could continue, she had to get free. With a look to her left and right, Faye found what she wanted. The switchblade was a short way away on her right. She would pick the lock. With a cautious look to the illuminated windows of the building, she began to wiggle towards it.
After a minute, she reached it. Many different things ran through Faye's mind as she struggled with the lock on the cuffs. Spike could already be dead. I could be doing this for a lost cause. I could be trying to kill myself for someone who I don't even know is alive, let alone cares about me!
Of course he cares about you. A more rational voice took over. Why would he call you over Jet? Tell me Faye. He loves you. He knows that you would come for him. He believes that you can save him. Not Jet. No one. No one to get him out but you. Spike needs you Faye. Now stop being a whiney little bitch and get in there and save him! There was a quiet click, and the cuffs were open.
"About time!" Faye jumped up, tied her blouse, and looked over at the squirming Jason. She walked over to him, the cuff dangling in her hand. She smiled at him and raised her leg, hovering her heel over his stomach.
"I warned you, didn't I?" Jason nodded, tears running down his face. She smiled. "And what did you do?"
"I… I tried to…" He couldn't finish.
"You tried to what Jason?"
"Tried to…"
"Can't answer? I'll tell you. You tried to rape me you fuck. Now, let me pay you back." Faye brought the heel down, into his stomach. Jason yelped, more tears spurting from his face. Blood trickled from his mouth in a small stream. "I'm letting you live for one reason." She kneeled down next to him and took his hands in hers. "So I can kill you later." Faye cuffed him and he continued to cry.
Faye stood and looked down at her work. A bulge in his left pant pocket told her where her gun was. She bent down again, picked it up, and checked for bullets. Sure enough, it was fully loaded.
"I'll be back for you." She turned away from him and began to head for the door in front of her. She knew one thing for sure.
It was going to be a long night.

Jet was rather pissed at the moment.
Ed had not stopped singing for the past hour and he was beginning to develop a migraine from it. The computer screen in front of him and the room around him was starting to spin. He would shut his eyes, open them again, and find the room still once again.
"I found Spike! I found Spike!" Ed jumped onto the couch behind Jet and looked blankly at the computer. "What is 'RDSecurity.exe?' Jet person?" Ed cocked her head to the side.
"It's exactly as it sounds Ed. It's the security system for the Red Dragons. I'm eavesdropping on their radios to see if I can find any sign of Faye." Then, mumbling. "Just as hotheaded as Spike."
"Is there any sign of Faye-Faye?"
"Not yet but I think we may find something so-" He was cut off as a transmission blared out.
"Female on premises. Dark violet hair, yellow blouse. Wearing heels. Is armed. Jason down. All units immediately on guard. Shoot if found." The transmission ended but Jet was already up.
"Where were they again Ed?"
"It was… Koltran!" Ed smiled widely at him but it began to fade by the grave look on Jet's face.
"Do you know how to use a gun?" He was looking over his own as he asked her.
"Yes… no… maybe…" Ed looked up at him.
"Fine." Jet turned away from her and walked up the stairs in front of him. "Get ready to learn how to use one."
"Why?"
"Because we're going in to save our crew."
