A/N: same old stuff, don't own Morganville or its characters – I only own Elizabeth and the story
Chapter Four
Elizabeth didn't move, she didn't breath for the fact that the smell was sickening,
"Now" he hissed, "Where is my son…Well what is left of him" he was so close to her she wanted to gag, how could he be related to Shane, he sweet, sweet Shane, her eyes were red, but she know if she moved the blade at her back would cut her and the smell would alert Shane
"This blade is silver so unless you want to hurt…",
"Silver doesn't burn me" Elizabeth hissed, 'not unless its left in a wound then it hurt but it wouldn't kill her' she thought, but she wasn't going to tell him that,
"Oh yeah?" he hissed bringing the knife to the side of her face and resting it there, nothing happened no sizzle no hiss nothing, but upstairs there was a cry of pain, Shane, Elizabeth couldn't take it she turned pushing frank across the room smashing his head into the wall, knocking him unconscious.
She ran for the stairs where Shane had fallen to the floor, a bright red burn mark across his cheek right where Frank had held the knife oh her. Down stairs she heard frank getting up to his feet, she reached over to the wall hitting a panel that reviled a secret door, she pulled Shane across the threshold and seald the door shut, they would be safe as long as Frank didn't find the secret room.
Elizabeth lifted Shane onto the couch and walked over to a cupboard retreating a first aid kit. She places a cold pack on Shanes cheek, the shock woke him he grabbed her throat, but realisation hit him fast and he released her,
"'lizabeth, I'm so sorry" he gasped,
"It's ok Shane, please put this back on you cheek" she handed him the falled cool pack, it was only then Shane remember,
"It burnt, as if someone…" he didn't know how to explain it,
"As if someone had put silver in you" Elizabeth said,
"I don't…" Shane began but Elizabeth had started crying, "Babe what the matter, I'm ok" he lifted her chin to look at him,
"I don't know what to do, your father he's…he's down stairs, he put silver to my cheek and then I heard you in pain" she sobbed,
"We need to get out of here" Shane looked suddenly serious,
"He can't get us here…" Elizabeth said,
"Of course he can" Shane panicked getting up, it was then he realised there was no door, "Secret room?" he asked, she nodded, before moving the another panel revealing a monitor, she booted the screen up revealing a picture of the front room,
"Cameras?" he asked, standing behind her,
"Encase of emergencies" she mumbled, she was shaking, as she pulled a keyboard, from the side of the monitor, "He was in the kitchen last" she mumbled typing a 'K' on the keyboard,
"He's not there now" Shane sighed, wrapping his arms around her calming her slightly, "Try your room" he said, Elizabeth typed 'B1' and her room appeared, there was Frank sitting on her bed with a piece if clothing in hand sniffing it, Shanes grip tightened on Elizabeth,
"Shane…" she gasped in pain, Shane let go ,
"I'm sorry" he said, he pulled away, "Turn it off, I can't… What the hell is he doing" Shane hissed as his eyes caught a glimpse of his father as he turned, Frank was unzipping his pants and
"Oh god" Elizabeth wanted to be sick, Shane grabbed Elizabeth and turned her around so she wouldn't have to watch what his father was doing, unfortunately from his position Shane saw everything
Frank finished himself off before leaving her room,
"Shane?" Elizabeth whispered, she pulled away his eyes were red, "Shane, look at me" she touched his cheek, "Baby, please look at me" she begged, he heard the hurt in her voice and his eyes changed backed, as he looked down,
"I want to kill him" he said, She kissed him,
"It's ok Shane, we'll get him, but not today" she whispered, she pulled away and went to turn of the screen, but stopped, "Where did he go?" she asked,
"I don't care!" Shane sighed, but then he realised what she had said, "He came out of your room…right opposite…"
"Here" she whispered, she grabbed the keyboard 'UH' the upstairs hallway came into view Frank was standing looking directly at the camera, he waved, before pulling out a shot gun,
Elizabeth turned and grabbed Shanes arm pressing a button on the wall, pulling him through into a long hallway before the door closed and a loud bang shot through the secret room,
"Where are we?" Shane hissed,
"Safe" she stood and took Shane's hands,
"Safe my father could have seen us," Shane hissed,
"Even if it did it's no good to him, only vampires can use the portal" Elizabeth said as she lead the way down the pitch black corridors.
Back at the house Frank made his way into the room. Letting out a scream as he found it empty!
