Today I decided to upload 2 chapters! There are three reasons why; it's Groundhog day :), Heroes re-starts tonight (!!!), and you guys have been way supportive with leaving reviews and I really appreciate that. So because of all those reasons (except for maybe the Groundhog day thing) I decided to upload 2 chapters today. Please review. :)


Elle woke up late the next morning. She could hear Bennet talking on his phone and coffee being made. She didn't want to get up, she needed to be alone so she could think. So Sylar knew she was alive; what did he want with her? Was he going to try to kill her for the third time? Maybe he had seen the pregnancy tests and wanted answers.

There was a knock at her door. "Get up Elle."

Elle pretended she was still asleep and continued to think. Was she going to tell Sylar if he ever asked her? She could always say it wasn't his kid...

"Elle, I know you're awake. Get up."

Elle sighed and crawled out of her bed and opened the door. "What?" she asked coldly.

"Peter and Nathan should be here in a few minutes."

Elle gave him a blank look. "And..."

"And I thought you should know I actually told them where we were. You called them last night asking about it."

Elle smirked. "Maybe next time you shouldn't leave a perfectly working cell phone in the room you're keeping your captive in."

"Maybe next time you shouldn't fall for the 'perfectly working cell phone that is bugged so I can listen in to any calls made from that phone' trick."

"I honestly didn't care if you heard me," she said folding her arms.

Bennet stared her down. "Listen Elle, this isn't going to work out"-

"Oh that's a shame," she said sarcastically.

"-if you can't trust me," he continued.

The doorbell rang. Elle ran past Noah and answered it. Peter and Nathan were at the door with 3 suitcases. "Hey Elle," Peter greeted.

"Get me away from him," she whispered. Peter sighed and walked past her over toward Noah. She turned to Nathan who shrugged.


"No. No way."

Elle stood up. The three men and her were sitting down discussing how they were going to arrange to keep her safe. She had stayed quiet for the entire conversation until Peter had suggested that she go with Noah to Costa Verde.

"Elle..." Peter started.

"No!" she protested. "No, no, no, no, no!"

"I think you have made it quite clear you don't like me very much," Noah said. "Honestly I'm not very fond of you either. But we have to make sacrifices."

Elle glared at him then turned to Peter. "No."

Peter sighed. "Elle, we don't have many options."

"You need to be under proper care," Noah said.

"Stop talking about me like I'm a kid!" she yelled at the older man. "I'm 24! I can keep care of myself!"

"You have no idea what Sylar is capable of," he added.

"Yes I do! He killed my father, he tried to kill me twice...I'm not going to Costa Verde." She folded her arms.

"Well we could go to another safe house in Georgia"-

"Let me make myself clearer," she took a step towards Bennet. "I'm not going anywhere with you."

There was a moment of silence. Then Peter spoke up. "I really think you should go with him Elle."

Elle turned to Peter. "I can't believe you're on his side! You really think I'm safer with him?"

"Yes I do."

Elle couldn't stand this any longer. She left the room angrily and went into the guest room, slamming the door behind her. She knew she was acting like a kid having a tantrum but she didn't care. She knew she would be safer with someone else but there was no way she was staying with Bennet. And she couldn't believe Peter was siding with him! She lay down on the bed.

Nathan opened the door slightly. "Elle?"

Elle looked over at the door. "What?" she asked bitterly.

Nathan came into the room, closing the door behind her. He sat on the edge of her bed. "You really don't like Noah?"

"I hate him!" she replied angrily. "I can't believe Peter wants to send me off with that bastard! Especially since he knows about...I just can't believe it." She sat up so she was sitting beside Nathan. "You didn't say much when they were talking."

Nathan nodded. "I don't really know what to think. But knowing that if Noah hadn't come to my house, Sylar could have killed us all makes me think that you might be safer with Noah."

Elle looked down at the ground. Nathan was right, Noah definitely knew how to protect people, he spent half of his time protecting Claire. "I just...hate him so much."

Nathan smiled. "Yeah, well, I don't like him that much either. But he knows what he's doing when it comes to protection. I mean, this safe house is incredible."

Elle shrugged. "Yeah, I guess."

Nathan stood up. "I suppose you could just stay here and we could stay too."

"But...the election?" Elle asked.

Nathan sighed. "That's the last thing on my mind right now."

Elle stood up too. "Ok. Let's go tell them."

They both headed back into the living room where Peter and Noah were still sitting. "Fine." Elle said.

Noah and Peter looked up. "What?" they said in unison.

"I'll go with Noah. If there isn't any other options that is."

"I was thinking it'd be best if we stayed here for a couple days, maybe a week," Nathan added.

Peter nodded. "That's probably the best idea."

Noah's cell phone rang. He answered it. "Hello? Yes...I'm in Pennsylvania...yeah, with Elle...what? I'm in the middle of an assignment...oh crap...I'll be there in a few hours." He hung up. "Sylar just broke into your house and killed one of your maids," he said looking straight at Nathan.

Everyone was quiet. Noah grabbed his coat. "I'm meeting the Haitian at your house. Apparently the police showed up and are asking questions. It's my job to make sure they get the wrong answers, we don't want any police officers murdered because they don't know what they're up against."

"But..." Peter started.

"You guys are ok here alone for a day right?" he asked the room in general. No one responded. "Good. I'll be back tomorrow." Noah left the room and a few seconds later they heard the front door slam shut.


Chapter 13 is up right now, please review. :)
