Thanks to all who reviewed and yes I know I am evil! Lets see how evil I can be! Haha

Chapter 12

Death is absolute. That is why we are not afraid of it, what we are afraid of is the how and when. So why is it that sitting here right now I am actually scared of death. What is the reason I don't want to die.

I can name it. Peter-pain in my ass-Bishop.

Olivia had taken up her daughters seat in the corner of the now enclosed room. Bringing her knees to her chest she sat in silence and just waited for death to come. Hearing a voice from outside the glass Olivia looked up.

"Peter?"

"No darl'n not Peter. Me." Her stepfather took his chance and raised the glass door. Sitting on the floor directly in front of her, Olivia never once moved.

"Do you remember, when you were a little girl, you used to sit much like this, in the corner of your bedroom and just sing to yourself? You would hum and cry and the lights would dim, but when you screamed, the lights would shatter. Do you remember that darl'n?"

Olivia looked up her stepfather and just waited for him to continue. When he did the memory came flooding back. Opening her mouth the words dropped out like honey thick with disgust.

"5 young children sitting on the swing

Hear the cow bell, here comes the ring-a-ding ding

5 young children in their bed at night

Hear the clock chime, suddenly out of sight."

Seeing the smile on his face was enough to drive Olivia to beat him to death but she didn't move. She couldn't move, only speak. "What do you want from me? I know you worked with Walter before you married my mother, so what do you want with me?" Her stepfather's shoulders dropped.

"You see darl'n when I saw you, in that classroom, I knew you were special. I would watch you. Watch you as you saw things without even knowing it. I watched as you traveled back and forth from the other world and I knew that I would need you. You see before I met Walter I knew that there was other universes. Ones that would allow me to continue my work without being locked up. It was never William Bells idea to experiment on children, it was mine. He made the drug and it made you special, more special than anyone else. In that other world, their technology is more advanced than ours and I want to go there. You can take me there."

"OLIVIA!" Olivia's head shot up at her name.

"Ah Mr. Bishop has decided to come and find you. Well, not if I can help it." Grabbing Olivia by the arm he dragged her from the room, down the hall and into a smaller space. Slamming her against the wall he held her there with his hand over her mouth. She cried silently because she knew that Peter wasn't far off.

As they say, the hand is quicker than the eye because while one hand was over her mouth his other was driving a needle into her side. Olivia's eyes met his but only for a second before they closed and darkness took her.

"OLIVIA!" Peter found himself at a loss. He had no idea where to look for her once he came to the empty room. Scratched into the floor a simple word. Peter

With a new found energy from her handwriting, he sprinted out of the room and back into the large factory area. Spinning around 360 he searched the room for any other places he could have taken her.

"Mr. Bishop! How nice for you to come! You know Eddie did promise me that you would be dead before you ever met my daughter again. You were both always together and I could never seem to get her to do what I wanted when you were around."

Peter spun to his left and found Olivia's stepfather standing in the same place he had just come from essentially telling Peter where to find Olivia.

"I don't remember any of that. I have never met Olivia before so I don't know what sort of game you are playing but it ends now. Let her go!" Peter took a few steps towards him, waiting to see what he would do.

"You may not remember any of it but she was very taken with you. I noticed it then Walter took you away from her the first time and she screamed. She blew the lights out of her room. Very fascinating it was."

Peter was in shock. Had he actually known Olivia before all of this? Its was crazy, right?

"Now I can't have you taking her away from me again so," her stepfather brought out a gun from his back pocket and aimed it at Peter who took a step back. At the same time that he was about to pull the trigger and ear piercing scream echoed through the empty lab. Peter brought his hands up this ears, trying to block it out. Olivia's stepfather did the same.

After a moment it was gone. "Ah, looks like the drug is working its way threw Olivia's system." Her stepfather smiled and suddenly began to fire at Peter. Luckily for Peter he saw it coming and ducked out of the way. Searching the room with his eyes to find something that would help him protect himself, Peter's eyes landed on the pile of old oxygen tanks in the corner of the room. Hoping with everything he had that they were still full, Peter made a break for them.

Olivia's stepfather took a second to realize what Peter was doing. Taking a few more shot at Peter as he ran past the tanks the last bullet was a mistake and her stepfather knew it.

Peter had found himself behind a pile of old metal sheeting. As the bullet connected with the tanks and explosion that sent most of the factory up in flames erupted. Being that Olivia's stepfather was not far from the tanks, he received the full brunt of the explosion, sending him hurtling backwards in the side of the building. Falling awkwardly he hit the ground and didn't move.

Peter was thrown to the side by the blast as well but the thought of Olivia, somewhere else in the building, in pain, kept him from falling into unconsciousness. Touching the side of his face, Peter found a gash running down his cheek. Looking down at his fingers he found they were covered in blood but not allowing a second thought when Olivia's scream echoed over the flames. Making a break for the doorway leading to Olivia, Peter ran through the smallest of the flames towards the fading screams of the woman he loves.

OK, sorry it took so long. But its done now and hopefully there will be a chapter or two left after this but hopefully it had kept you all interested!

R&R coz I love them
