Prologue- Hell is for Children
They cry in the dark, so you can't see their tears
They hide in the light, so you can't see their fears
Forgive and forget, all the while
Love and pain become one and the same
In the eyes of a wounded child
Because Hell
Hell is for Children
And you know that their little lives can become such a mess
Hell
Hell is for Children
And you shouldn't have to pay for your love with your bones and your flesh
--Pat Benatar, "Hell is for Children"
"Please Mr. Harris. Don't make me do it. I promise we won't tell anyone. Just let us go. Please. Please. Don't. I can't...please..." Eleven year old William begged his friend's drunken father.
"Just shut up and take your clothes off and get on the bed with her like I told you boy!" Mr. Harris bellowed between swigs of his whiskey glass.
"Please..." William tearfully began unbuttoning his shirt, fearfully watching every step that the older man took closer to him.
"You want me to have a go at your little girlfriend or are you gonna be a man and do what I told you, boy?" Mr. Harris growled again.
He glanced over at the bruised and naked young girl curled into the fetal position on a dirty mattress and box springs set on the basement floor with no frame.
"NO...I mean..no..don't hurt her anymore...I'll do it..I'll be good..please don't hurt her again" William pleaded.
"Hey Dad, what are you doing with Buffy and William?" Xander Harris's voice called out from the top of the basement steps, where the door led to the sunny kitchen and the back door of freedom.
"Get your ass to your room! Did I tell you that you could come down here? Get the fuck back in your room until I tell you to come out you little shit!" Mr. Harris yelled at his son.
Xander closed the door and ran up to his room, tears forming in his eyes.
"Now...let me get this set up..." Mr. Harris fiddled with his video camera and stand as William, now nude, slid onto the bed with Buffy.
"Good...now you both just do what I tell you to and everything will be O.K. We're all going to have a real nice time together." Mr. Harris leered.
William leaned over Buffy and whispered to her as tears dripped off him and onto her, "I'm so sorry, Buffy. Please forgive me. I'm so sorry."
"BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ..GOOD MORNING SUNNYDALE! It's sunny and 80...." the alarm clock radio blared away.
"I'm sorry...Oh God...I'm sorry....no...please...no" William Giles shot straight up in bed, dripping wet with sweat. He gasped, trying to control his erratic breathing and bring it back under control. His chest heaved and he felt nauseous. He calmed himself and swung his legs over his bed and wiped the sleep from his eyes.
Just another typical morning in Sunnydale.
