Chapter 6:

Rosalie opened her eyes, but immediately closed them. Her head ached and throbbed. She struggled to open her eyes again, but her vision was fuzzy and she couldn't move any part of her body. The mixture of pills and alcohol was still affecting her. She was in so much pain, worse than anything she ever felt before.

All she could think about was why this was happening to her? She did nothing wrong. They wanted her mother so why didn't they go after her? All through the torture, they never stopped talking about her. How gorgeous she was, how skinny she was, how Rosalie was nothing like Olivia.

Rosalie started to cry as the awful memories of being raped, sliced, burned and punched came into her mind. She was a victim, just like in her mother's cases. She was dirty, disgusting, worthless. Rosalie wanted to be somebody different. Well, she got her wish. She was now Rosalie, the Victim.

Suddenly, the door of the basement flew open and she saw Will come down the stairs. She immediately curled into a ball, terrified of what was going to happen next.

"Aww. The baby's crying," Will whimpered in a degrading way. He went over to the young girl and yanked her up, causing Rosalie to squeak in terror.

"Stop that or else I'll really make you cry!" Will threw Rosalie back down on the dirty mattress and got down on her level. "You know you love this, you little whore,"

Rosalie shook her head. She hated this more than anything. She wanted to make him stop, but she felt so powerless as he began to violate her all over again. Eventually, he grew bored when Rosalie didn't react the way he wanted.

"Stupid bitch! You're fucking useless!" Will snarled, before giving a hard kick into Rosalie's side. She yelped at the pain. He continued to kick her until Rosalie was about to pass out from the pain.

"Please…stop," Rosalie wheezed as she tried to catch her breath.

"Oh, I'm not stopping. Not until I'm done with you and then…it's lights out baby,"

Rosalie cringed, but it sent shooting pains in her sides and she let out another cry. Once he had his fill, Will glared at her before turning and heading up the stairs. As he was about to exit the basement, he suddenly came face to face with Harris who said,

"I think we're in deep shit. My neighbor called saying that cops were flooding my apartment. I think they'll figure out where we are!"

Rosalie tuned in to what Harris was saying. The police were looking for her! She was going to be saved!

"Well, what do we do?!" Will asked.

"We finish what we started,"

John sped up the road with other police cars driving in front of him and behind him. They were almost at the address in Harris' notebook. Soon, the cars reached the driveway of the house. It was a quaint cabin that would have been nice to live in under normal circumstances, but what was going on wasn't normal.

John leaped out of his car and followed Fin, Amanda, and the other officers to the front door of the cabin. Fin kicked down the door and everyone flooded inside.

"POLICE!"

They looked around the house, checking every room but there was no sign of anyone. As each room was cleared, John noticed a door and heard muffled sounds from inside. On instinct, he ran to the door and hurried down the stairs.

Harris pushed past Will and zoomed down the stairs and over to Rosalie and whipped out a gun, aiming it at Rosalie's head. Rosalie let out a scream. This was it. She was going to die.

"No…no…" Rosalie stuttered, unable to speak.

"I should have done this to your mother a long time ago. Fucking bitch. Besides, who would want you anyway?"

Rosalie let out a sob as she squeezed her eyes shut, preparing for everything to end.

"Goodbye, little girl,"

She heard the safety click, but before anything could happen, she heard a familiar voice yell:

"POLICE! Get away from that girl!"

As soon as John saw Harris with a gun aimed at Rosalie's head, he whipped out his own gun and yelled for him to get away from Rosalie. However, Harris shot around and yanked Rosalie with him so that they were facing John and his gun was aimed at her head.

"You think this would end so easily? You thought wrong," Harris taunted.

"Lowell Harris, it's over. Put down the gun and let Rosalie go…" John said slowly, trying to hide the fear in his voice.

"This should have been done to her bitch of a mother a long time ago. She's not leaving here alive," Harris turned off the safety, and the click sent shivers down John's spine. He was so scared of what was going to happen next.

Rosalie on the other hand, was horrified when Harris grabbed her and aimed another gun at her head, but by now, she was tired and…angry. She wanted all of this to end. RIGHT. NOW. In a burst of adrenaline, Rosalie tried to break out of Harris' grasp.

"NO!" John screamed and when he saw a chance to get Harris, he took it. He raised his gun and pulled the trigger.

BANG.

He watched as Harris fell backward and slid to the floor, bringing Rosalie with him. Her eyes as wide as saucers and her mouth wide open, only no sound came out. Amanda and Fin now joined John on the stairs and gasped in horror at what they saw. It almost looked like a scene from a horror movie. There was blood everywhere.

John felt as if his heart was in his throat. The fear that was coursing through his veins had him shaking. Fin led his ex-partner up the stairs and away from the crime scene as Amanda hurried down the steps, carrying a blanket. She went over to the frozen girl and stopped when she saw her face. Rosalie's face was frozen in fear. She was staring at the scene in front of her in horror.

"Rosalie? Sweetheart?" Amanda said softly, trying to get Rosalie to snap out of it.

Rosalie couldn't believe what had just happened. She was so close to getting killed, but Lowell Harris was shot before he had the chance to do the deadly deed. She knew very well that this man kidnapped, raped, and tortured her, but still, he's dead now and she watched it happen.

"Rosalie, you're safe now…honey, please talk to me,"

Slowly Rosalie turned her head towards the blonde detective and Amanda's heart broke for the young girl. She had Harris' blood splattered on her face. Her whole body was black and blue and covered in cuts and burn marks. To Amanda, it was awful seeing how much damage there was on the outside, but she knew that the damage on the inside was far greater. She helped Rosalie stand up, covered her with the blanket and guided her out of the basement.

Meanwhile, John stood outside of the house, trying to calm down after witnessing what happened in that basement. Fin stood next to his ex-partner, trying to be a source of comfort but he too was struggling to process what had happened to his fellow detective's daughter.

"That sick son of a bitch is dead John. You did the right thing shooting Lowell Harris. They will never hurt another girl again," Fin said, but John shook his head.

"I know Fin…but Rosalie…those bastards did a number on her. The cuts, the bruises, the burns…" John shuddered. He couldn't get the image of the brutalized girl out of his head. He was furious at the two men, wishing that they could experience the same torture that they inflicted on his Munchkin. Suddenly he realized that someone was missing.

"Wait…where's William Lewis?"

Fin's eyes widened and the two men shot up and looked around. Eventually, they were told by other officers that while they did everything they could, William Lewis had gotten away. It only further angered John and even Fin felt angry. This wasn't over. With William Lewis still out there, neither Rosalie or Olivia for that matter were safe.

"We're coming out!" John and Fin heard Amanda call from inside the house. They turned and watched as Amanda led the still frozen Rosalie out of the house of horrors that she was kept a prisoner in.

Rosalie saw the swarms of officers and EMTs that watched as she exited the house. She felt instantly panicked by everyone staring at her. Two male EMTs came rushing over to get her loaded into the ambulance, but the sudden approach caused the young girl to start screaming. She tried to fight the EMTs and tried to get away, but she couldn't. John immediately sprang into action and hurried over to the scene.

"Rosalie! Rosalie, you're okay!" John reassured and when Rosalie saw her Uncle Munch, she stopped screaming but was still terrified.

"Let me go with her to the hospital. I'm her emergency contact," John explained to the EMTs which was accurate. If something were to ever happen to Olivia, John would become Rosalie's legal guardian. The EMTs nodded, and with slow and careful precision, they got Rosalie onto a stretcher and loaded into an ambulance, with John going with her to the hospital. Rosalie would not lie down. Instead, she sat up and hugged her knees to her chest, burying her face in her knees. As the EMTs tried to work in checking if the girl was alright, John watched as Rosalie seemed to be a new person. No more was the girl who smiled so brightly and cracked jokes. This girl was traumatized and seemingly mute as she hasn't said a word since being found by the police.

"Rosalie?" John said, hoping Rosalie would respond.

Nothing.

"Rosie?" John said her name again, this time using the nickname he called her when she was little. "I know everything is scary right now…but you're safe now. I promise you, no one will ever hurt you again,"

He slowly reached out and grabbed her hand, giving it a gentle squeeze. Rosalie finally looked up and into his eyes. She started shaking once again and opened her mouth, but nothing came out. She wanted to tell him that all she wanted was her mom, but she just couldn't say anything. She finally burst into tears and John immediately went over and pulled her into a hug. As she sobbed into his chest, John tried to hold back his own tears. He hated seeing his beloved 'niece' in so much pain. He wished that he could take away her pain, but he couldn't. As the ambulance sped to the nearest hospital, all John could think about was how Olivia was going to react to this.

A/N: Rosalie has been saved, but what shall happen next? Will Rosalie be okay? How will Olivia handle all of this? Also, while Lowell Harris is now dead, where's William Lewis and what does this mean for the Bensons? Stay tuned for Chapter 7! ;)
