Chapter 1 - Alice

A/N: Ok so I had this idea the other day and it just wouldn't leave me alone, and neither would my girlfriend because she is a huge fan of Grey's. So here you go. I imagine Alice being played by a little Ariel Winter, the picture I have of her on my profile works really well for this story. Please check it out.

Oh and I don't own SVU or Grey's Anatomy.

"Benson, Stabler get yourselves down to this address, rape and murder." Cragen ordered handing Olivia a piece of paper. "And tread carefully; the only survivor is a traumatised little girl. She isn't talking."

Olivia and Elliot shared a look that said more than words could. They both knew this would be a difficult case, from the captain's tone but also the age of the victim. Child victims were always the worst.

As in sync as always the partners hurried out of the bull pen and to their unmarked car. They didn't need to talk; they both knew how this would go. As always Olivia would approach the child and Elliot would hang back and take notes on what the chid said. It had been said that Olivia had a knack with victims; this was an understatement, especially with children. They seemed drawn to her. If anyone could get this child to open up about what nightmare she'd been through it would be Olivia, and they both knew it.

Pulling up in front of the small house Olivia turned to Elliot.

"Even the looks of this place gives me the creeps." Olivia looked up at the house the light was on and she could see Melinda and her team as well as some uniformed officers in the front room.

"You ready?" Elliot asked. He knew it was better to give Olivia those few extra minutes to gather herself before asking a victim to place their trust in her.

"As I'll ever be," she replied opening the car door and exiting the vehicle. Elliot rounded the car and was at her side before they reached the path that lead to the dangerous looking house.

"You'd think they'd at least paint it more appealing, I mean come on grey. That just screams horror movie." Olivia shivered.

Elliot opened the door and waited for Olivia to enter before following.

"Hello Olivia, Alice is in her room. She won't come out. Even I tried to talk to her, I wanted to make sure she wasn't too badly injured by she just screams and starts hyperventilating anytime anyone enters the room." Melinda greeted the detective. "I thought it would be best to wait for you, Cragen said you were on your way when I called him to say that he'd better send you and Elliot and not Munch and Fin."

"Thanks. Anything I should know before I speak to her." Olivia wanted to get all the information she could, so that she was as prepared as she could be. It helped her to know as many details before hand so that she had some idea of what the child had seen.

"Yeah, the bastard tied Alice to a chair and made her watch while he raped and then murdered her mother. That's her urine on and under the chair. The prick scared her so much she wet herself. Then he cut the ropes that he used to bind her to the chair and raped her too. Those are Alice's ripped and bloody underwear." Melinda informed her, pointing at the tiny white cotton underwear on the floor.

Olivia felt bile rise in her throat. She hoped they found the bastard soon. No-one capable of such things should be allowed to breath let alone be allowed to walk freely around the streets of New York. Pushing the dread and sick feeling down for later Olivia asked which room was Alice's.

"It has her name on it Liv, it's the last on the right."

Following Melinda's instructions Olivia climbed the stairs eager to be some sort of comfort to the suffering child. Elliot was close behind her, letting her take the lead.

Coming to a stop outside the door Olivia knocked softly and spoke in a tone even softer, urging little girl to trust her.

"Alice? My name is Olivia. I'm a police officer. Would you like to open the door so that I can see that you're ok? Please?"

Olivia listened carefully straining to hear the tiny voice that came from behind the door.

"No. I don't want to see anybody. I'm ok, you can go." Olivia's heart broke a little. She sound so young and so scared.

"I'm afraid I can't do that sweetie, I have to make sure your ok and get you checked out by a doctor so that you don't hurt anymore. Can you open the door for me? Can you do that?" Olivia asked softer than before.

"Will you look at me?" the timid voice asked.

"Just to make sure your ok. My good friend Elliot is here too. He wants to help." Olivia reassured the scared child, it would be easier if they weren't talking through the door but she knew that it had to be Alice's decision to remove that barrier.

"No. He's a man. Elliot's a boy's name. No Olivia. It's ok I'm not hurt, you can leave. I don't need you. I don't need anybody." Olivia felt tears brimming.

"Sweetie I have to come in ok. Elliot is my best friend in the whole world. He won't hurt you. I promise. He will stay out here right by the door. Can you open it for me Alice? Please?" Olivia pleaded with the child, she knew that if Alice didn't open the door this time she would have to open it herself, the little girl could be injured and she needed to see a doctor.

"You promise he'll stay by the door?" the little girls spoke again, her voice closer than before.

"I promise" Olivia said looking pointedly at Elliot. She knew he would stay by the door.

"Ok." They door creaked open a little and Olivia hears the patter of little feet run back to the other side of the room.

Olivia pushed the door open a little more.

"I'm coming in now Alice. Is that ok?"

"Yes. But no one else." For some reason Alice trusted the mystery woman with the caring voice.

"Okay. It's just me." Olivia walked into the room and flicked on the light switch. What she saw broke her heart even more.

On the bed was a tiny little girl with the ratty blanket pulled up to her chin. Olivia could see that the child was very pretty, her features small and angel like. The girls hair was similar in colour to her own ad was down to her shoulder, just a little shorter than hers.

She walked closer to the bed.

"Is it ok if I sit down sweetheart?" Olivia asked, wanting to be on the same level as the child so as not to intimidate her further by standing over her.

"Su-Sure." Alice stammered. A single tear fell from her eyes.

"Can you put the blanket down and come sit by me Alice so that I can see that you are ok?" Olivia asked the little girl, smiling reassuringly.

Slowly the little girl lowered the blanket revealing a dirty nightgown that ended a little higher than mid thigh. Olivia had to hold back her disgust and hurt at the blood running down the child's inner thighs.

Alice was holding her arm at an odd angle as she tried to crawl to sit next to Olivia.

"Is your arm hurt sweetie?"

"A little, he pulled it too hard when he..." she trailed off, avoiding Olivia's eyes.

"How old are you honey?" Olivia moved away from the subject deciding to wait until after the little girl had seen a doctor.

"I just turned 8." The child smiled until she remembered something. "Daddy said I'm a big girl now."

Olivia turned to Elliot seeing his jaw tense and his fists ball.

"Alice, I'm going to take you to see a doctor ok, at the hospital. They'll make you feel better."

Olivia could see that the child was debating whether to accept or not but her pain seemed to win out.

"Ok." She said before looking around Olivia to where Elliot was standing by the door.

He smiled at her and she gave him a small shy smile back, before turning back to Olivia who had watching their interaction with her own smile. It may take victims longer to warm to Elliot but they always did.

"Is Elliot coming?" she whispered to Olivia but Elliot heard.

"Yeah he's going to drive while I sit in the back with you. He is going to help me protect you."

"Like superman?" Alice asked.

"Yeah" Olivia laughed. Sharing a smile with her partner. "Like superman."

"Ok."

Olivia rose from the bed and held her hand out for the Alice to take.

Alice stood up onto tiny feet.

"Ouch. " Alice limped as she took a few steps.

"Alice? Sweetie are you ok?" Olivia asked, concern flooding her system.

"It hurts to walk." The child blushed, she seemed embarrassed.

"Did you hurt you feet? Or your leg?" Olivia was confused.

"No." Alice looked down at the floor before continuing. "It hurts down there." She whispers. "Every time I move it hurts more." Tears ran down her face. Olivia realised what she meant.

Alice was very small for her age so Olivia knelt down to her height, "Would it be better if I carried you?" Olivia asked the child, seeing the tears swimming in the child's innocent eyes.

"I think so." She whispered back voice thick with tears.

Olivia put one hand across Alice's back and one behind her knees and lifted her. Holding her close. Alice wrapped her tiny thin arms around Olivia's' neck and berried her face into the detectives neck at silent tears continued to fall.

"I'm sorry Olivia." Alice whispered.

A/N: I hope you like it. It wouldn't go away so I had to write it down.
