I gently combed my fingers through Elise's hair as the tv screened flashed in front of me, but I couldn't concentrate on what was on. My mind kept going over those hours that Elise had been missing and how terrified she must've been running for her life. She had passed out again not long after getting back to Emily's and Sue had insisted that we take her to the hospital in Forks because we couldn't be sure of all the damage had been done to her body while she was on the run.

We had taken her and now here she lay in the hospital under 48 hour observation because the doctors were concerned about the extreme whiplash she had sustained when her car wrecked. There were police officers standing guard outside the door, but I knew they would be of no use if the redhead leech decided to circle back around for Elise tonight. Some of the guys were patrolling the woods around the hospital and I knew they would do everything to make sure the redhead didn't get inside, but I still couldn't help the worry that was making my body ache thinking about the things she may do if she were to get her hands on Elise.

I slowly climbed off the bed and paced the room, running my hands through my hair wondering why in the hell the redhead leech even wanted anything to do with Elise to begin with?

She was only after Bella for revenge because that Cullen leech had killed her mate and to make him suffer she wanted to kill Bella, but that didn't explain why she wanted Elise.

Unless it was because of the other leech we killed, he must've been a friend of hers. No, that wouldn't make any se- wait, that's it! He wasn't just a friend, he was her second-in-command, he was the reason she was always two steps ahead of us and now with him gone she's falling behind. The redhead leech needs another second-in-command which would make Elise the perfect target because she know all of our strategies and plans.

I started towards the door and stopped short, I couldn't leave Elise alone because if she woke up without me here I know she would freak out and have a panic attack.

Dammit, I needed to let Sam know about this though and I know he's not home. I could tell Emily, shit I can't tell her without putting her in dangerous position.

I looked up when I heard the door open and I immediately took a defensive position in front of the bed Elise was in, a low growl was building in my chest.

"Look, I come in peace. I just came from Bella's and I know about Victoria, I know everything. I want to help, we all do and I was told this would be the best place for me to come." He spoke holding up his hands defensively.

"I would've thought you would insist on staying with Bella, Edward." I said lowly.

"She didn't want me there, she was the one who told me to come here. I know that Victoria is after your imprint and I just wanted to offer to stay with her for a while, so that you could go home and get some rest." He said quietly.

"I won't leave her side, I almost lost her last night and I am not leaving this hospital without her with me." I said fighting the lump in my throat. "But there is something you can do, tell Sam that the redhead is after Elise because we killed her friend, the one with the dreads, and now she wants Elise because she would be the perfect second-in-command seeing as she knows our plan."

Edward nodded solemnly as he turned towards the door and I heard him whisper, "You're welcome." as he disappeared down the hallway.

I collapsed into the chair nearby and my head fell into my hands, I let a yelp suddenly because it felt like my chest had just collapsed as it was being consumed in fire and then I heard the loud noise coming from one of the machines hooked up to Elise.

I ran towards the door and threw it open, my vision was blurry and I could see the officers panicking as I begged someone to help her.

Nurses rushed towards me as my legs collapsed and I saw doctors and nurses go running into Elise's room with a cart just before my vision went black and my head cracked against the linoleum.

I know it's a cliffhanger, but I know you guys secretly love them because I know I definitely enjoy writing cliffhangers! I would love to hear y'alls thoughts on this chapter and if you think Elise will live or die?
Until next time my pretties! *MUAH* ~Peace
