And Yet I Stayed (Lost-FF)

When FBI profiler April Sparks wakes up in a strange room, injured and disoriented, she has no memory of how she got there. The only person with answers is Benjamin Linus, the very man she had interrogated in the Swan Station shortly before.

But instead of a prison cell, she finds a home. Instead of threats, she is met with hospitality. Forced to remain in the village of the Others, April soon finds herself living under the same roof as her captor.

Yet Ben is the embodiment of contradiction: on one hand, the cold manipulator who sacrifices people like pieces on a chessboard; on the other, the lonely father who would do anything to protect his daughter. The deeper April delves into his psyche, the more the lines between disgust and attraction begin to blur. Painfully, she realizes that Ben is not only manipulating the world around her, but slowly her mind as well.

And when she is finally given a chance to escape, her biggest problem is no longer getting away. It is erasing the traces he left behind in her mind... and in her heart.
