Chapter 2

With fear running through his warm blooded veins, Elliot quickly grabbed his big, thick black coat and rushed out of the hotel room, making sure to the lock the door behind him.

"Liv! Olivia, where are you?" He called out, hoping that his partner was somewhere safe and unharmed.

"Liv! Please answer me! Liv!" He was going crazy, he couldn't see the beautiful brunette anyway.

Elliot continued to walk down a path which led toward a heavily bushed area. He walked through and found a bench. On the bench, he found the woman that he was looking for. He could tell that she was crying silent tears.

"Livvie, honey." He whispered before sitting on the bench beside her. "Please talk to me."

Olivia sniffled and licked her dry lips before looking beside her at Elliot. "Can't I have some peace and quiet without you hunting for me?"

Elliot could hear the hurt in her voice but there was also anger mixed in. Olivia just wanted to be left alone to think.

The handsome detective sighed and put a large, caring, gentle hand on his partner's thigh. "Liv, please. How many times do I need to apologize to you? Please forgive me. Dani was…is nothing to me. I don't remember or know why I did what I did. But I know that I regret it in every bone in my body." He spoke to her, sincerely. He meant every word of it.

Olivia sighed and shook her head before pushing Elliot's hand off the thigh and got up.

"Liv…"

"No Elliot I need sometime alone." She replied, sadly before jogging away from him.

Olivia jogged further in to the bushed area. Elliot didn't like her jogging in there alone. It was too secluded and the perp could easily snatch her and no one would be any the wiser because they wouldn't hear it.

Elliot was about to walk back to the hotel room when he heard a scream. Olivia's frightened scream.

"LIV!" He screamed as he ran full force back toward the bushed area. He had to save his partner, the love of his life.

He found her sat on the ground, clutching her ankle. He ran right over to her and dropped to his knees next to her. "What happened?" He asked her.

"I saw a wolf." She said, the pain her ankle was in was obvious to him in her voice.

"A wolf..?" He questioned. "It was probably just a big dog." He said trying to reassure her.

She huffed and pushed herself up, with some assistance from him, but she quickly pushed him back away from her. "Great so not only do you think I'm stupid but you also think I'm delusional." She spat at him angrily before trying to walk off.

Her ankle gave out on her and she stumbled forward. Elliot quickly caught her in his arms. "Liv, as much as I know you want to storm away from me right now you can't." He said picking her up.

She knew he was right and the only way she was getting back to the hotel would be on her hands and knees, so she reluctantly accepted his 'lift'.

Elliot carried Olivia through the small lobby. "Oh my goodness, what happened?" The manager asked them.

He was a tall man with short dark hair that was beginning to go grey at the sides. He was average build and just looked like your average guy. "We were out jogging and she fell." Elliot said. "I don't know how many times I need to tell her that her body is perfect, she doesn't need to jog to make it any better." Elliot said looking at the guy. "It really is perfect baby." He said, now looking at Olivia.

She just smiled at him, like she thought a wife would after her husband complimented her body. It wasn't that forced though as she really was smiling at the fact that he paid attention to her body.

Elliot carried her up the stairs and the manager just watched them till they were out of sight. Elliot carried her into their room and straight into the bathroom. He sat her down on the ledge of the bath and began filling the tub with cold water. He knelt down in front of her and pulled her trainer and sock off.

He gently lowered her swollen foot into the icy water. She grabbed a handful of his coat in her hand as pain ripped through her entire body. "Ugh, damn-it that's cold." She winced in pain.

"It'll help with the swelling." He said.

"Well we're doing great so far. At this rate another 3 married couples will be murdered before we catch the killer and even then I'll be limping after them." She said, annoyed.

"I'll limp with you so you don't feel like such a fool." He said.

She laughed and hit his arm, then remembered she was mad at him, so frowned as he began smiling at her. His smile quickly faded. "Liv, I am sorry. For what happened, for everything and you know I don't think you're stupid or delusional." He said.

She smiled at him, half heartedly. "I know." She said. "…but I'm still not ready to forgive you yet." She said to him.

"What do I have to do to make you forgive me Liv?" He asked, looking in to her beautiful deep mocha orbs.

She smiled as she realised she could have him wrapped around her little finger if she wanted. "I'll let you know." She said. "Now come on. We have to get ready for dinner." She told him

"Oh, its okay all the guests know we're newly weds, if we don't show up they'll just think we're in our room doing what newly wed couples do." He said with a smirk, hoping to lighten up the mood.

"And whilst we're just sitting here, not doing what normal newly wed couples do the killer could be selecting his next victims. We're going, now help me up." She said, holding her arms out.

He just scooped her up in his arms again as he carried her out of the bathroom. As he carried her in the bedroom, they heard a blood curling scream from a room, down the hall. Elliot ran out of the room, leaving poor Olivia behind limping as quick as she could. Her injured ankle gave out on her and she dropped to the floor, like a lead weight.

When she looked up she saw someone approaching her…
