A/N: I have to say that I'm surprised by the positive reviews of you all. I have to admit that I've had second thought about this fic. I wasn't sure if I want to do it. But I though that I was just give it a try. The second reason - there is something really personal I put in Claire. So this fic is kinda emotional to write for me. Hope you continue enjoy it! 'The plot is absolutely different. And now, before you start reading this I think I owe you this too:

Let's skip the misunderstanding: English is not my first language, but I'm really trying here. So, if you think that it's hard for you to read - just don't read it! The reason I'm in this alone it's because I have updates every day. I love my readers and I want to pleased them in that way!

Story plot: The Compass' is inspired of the new volume of Heroes, called 'Redemption'. I have to be honest (some of you may hate me for it, but I have to say it), the only good thing I saw up until now is the Paire hug. We can see that they still have that chemistry that made them our OTP. Still think that related them was the biggest mistake of the show, but sadly, it's the fact. I have to say one more thing - 'The Compass' starts when the new volume starts BUT there is nothing in common after that.

Rating: It's definitely M for the later chapters. I have to say that I love to write Paire as M. "winks"

Warnings: Well, it's Paire so that means incest. I wish they were CANON, but eh.

Spoilers: Volume 5 - up to episode 4.

What else... um nothing. Enjoy reading and I wish you like the fic! Thanks for the nice input after the first few chapters guys! I'll keep going and I hope you'll keep reading. "winks"


Chapter 52 Unpredictable

Peter teleported right before his apartment. The corridor was empty and the door was half-opened. He could not hear any sounds came from the inside but his compass showed that Claire was there. Then he heard it. It was a small sound and it was painful cry. His heart pounded and he rushed into his apartment. The cry led him to his living room and he froze in one place. Claire had wrapped up to a chair. A sticker had put in over her mouth and her eyes were full of pain. Then he saw the man stood before her chair. His face was something peter would never forget. He had not forgotten it since the moment when he had seen it in his nightmares. Sylar.

"What took you so long?" His sleazy voice was the same as before. "We missed you already!" He touched Claire's shoulder and Peter saw her winced.

"Get your dirty hands off of her!" He growled and clenched his fists. "This is between you and me!"

"What a fierce protection!" Sylar did not remove his hand. "You do know that She can't be hurt. But… I could torture her if I want to. That'll be fun, don't you think?" A shark knife appeared in his other hand. He skimmed it over Claire's bare arm.

"No!" Peter almost screamed. Claire flinched under the touch of the sharp metal. "Don't touch her!"

"Or you what?" Sylar rose up his eyebrows with annoying gesture. "You're gonna kill me? We both know that you're not capable of this!"

"Freeze!" Matt Parkman's voice surprised all of them. "Drop the knife slowly!"

"Get out of here Matt!" Peter did not even turn around. His all attention had focused over Claire. Something was wrong with her. She was not scared, at least not only. She looked hurt and squeezed her eyes painfully in every few seconds. She was in pain.

"Grr-rr! You scared me!" Sylar mocked with his new rival. "What are you going to do now?"

"I'm gonna kill you!" Peter hissed instead of Matt. He opened his palms close to his body and the sparks of electricity lit up there. "Right now!"

"Impressive!" Sylar laughed. "But I'm not sure if you are willing to risk it." He pressed the knife to Claire's throat. "You are not that faster!"

"Try me!" Peter growled.

"You wanna?" Sylar skimmed the edge of the knife down on Claire's neck. She moaned painfully again. That sound almost launched Peter to her but he stood still. His jaw clenched. One wrong move and Claire's life would be in danger again.

"Drop it!" Matt's voice echoed again. "I'm serious!"

"Or what?"

"Matt, stay out of this!" Peter hissed.

"You might wanna listen to him!" Sylar smirked again.

"You don't know in what I'm capable of!" Matt murmured.

"Really?" Sylar laughed.

"I'm getting tired of this!" Peter snapped. He put his hand up and shot the first bolt of electricity. That sent Sylar right against the wall and closer to the window. Peter frowned and rushed to him. Claire's moan stopped him and he froze in one please. "Matt?"

But his old friend was there already. He just had focused over Syler's face. Sylar was still in shock and incapable to react. He fell in unconscious almost immediately. Matt used the moment to call someone on his cell phone.

"Peter!" Claire uttered right after he had released her mouth.

"It's okay now!" Peter released her from the ropes wrapped up around her body. "You can be calm!"

"No." Claire grasped his shoulders and Peter stared at her pale face. He was right before. She was in pain. "You have to take me to the hospital!" She moaned through clenched teeth. "I'm not alright!"

"Claire."

"OW!" She curled up in two and Peter took her in his arms.

"Shh-shh." He whispered. "Just calm down now."

"He pushed me on the ground." She panted. "I hit the wall." Claire crooked her face. "It hurt me and then… OW!"

"What's wrong?" Matt came closer to them. "How is she? I thought…"

"We have a lot to talk!" Peter frowned. "But not now and you have to be sure that I'll find you!"

"I'm not hiding Peter." Matt frowned too. "I just have to wait for my people now."

"Sure." Peter nodded and there a last look to the sleeping Sylar. "Next time!" He murmured with pure hate in his voice and teleported away.

Claire still stirred in his arms when they got to the hospital. Peter took her right to the Emergency. He knew the people there. He worked with the most of them. And most of all, he could trust them.

"Peter!" Claire grasped his shirt and her eyes widened.

"We are here!" He tried to sound calm but it was not easy. The tattooed compass burned his arm again. "You'll be alright! I'll make sure of it!"

He placed her on the near stretcher and called the near nurse for help. She recognized him immediately and soon they pushed the stretcher with Claire on it in the ER. Peter was left outside alone. He slid his back on the wall and sat on the cold ground. His heart pounded in his chest and he covered his face with his hands. He wanted to cry now. He had failed to protect his Claire once again. Her life was in danger now and the fault was his again.

"Why I'm not surprised to find you here?" Samuel's voice echoed close to him.

"Get out of here!" Peter hissed and looked up at the old man. "How did you find me?"

"Easy." Samuel shrugged. "I know where you work."

"No!" Peter got up on his feet. "How did you find me here, today?"

"I have Lydia." Samuel tilted his head. "As I have Taya and Hiro."

"Hiro?" Peter looked behind Samuel's back and saw his old friend there. His face showed his anger. "What do you want now?" Peter focused over Samuel again.

"I want you both back in the family." Samuel shrugged. "I always wanted that. Nothing's changed."

"You are sick!" Peter hissed. "You want our child and you won't have it!"

"You don't know the potential it could have!"

"I know the potential of killing you right now!" Peter frowned. "I'm very close to that line!"

"It's okay." Samuel smirked again and put up his hands. "You need more time. But you're going to realize that I'm your only help!"

"Get out of here!" Peter growled. "Now!"

"Okay." Samuel nodded at Hiro and he touched his shoulder. "We'll see each other again! Soon!"

Hiro closed his eyes and in the next moment, they were gone. Peter sighed and fell on the near bench. His eyes stared at the white wall. There was nothing left to him now than to wait.
