Through Thick and Thin

Chapter 6

Elizabeth did her best to keep Courtney awake, but it wasn't working that well. She knew that Courtney needed medical attention fast, but there was no way to get out of the cabin, she had tried everything. Elizabeth looked over at Courtney, and saw that she was drifting off to sleep.

"Stay awake," Elizabeth said firmly as she sat down next to Courtney. Courtney looked up with a pained look on her face.

"I'm trying, but its hurt so much. I want to sleep."

"You can't. Jason is going to come and save us. I'm sure he is looking for you right now," Elizabeth said gently. Courtney looked up at her.

"Why do you care so much, I thought you didn't like me?"

"I never didn't like you, I guess I thought if you weren't in the picture, me and Jason could have gotten back together, but I realize that it isn't worth it anymore. I don't hate you Courtney and I am not going to let you die on me," Elizabeth said firmly looking at Courtney.

"How did you and Jason meet?" Courtney asked, as she tried to sit up.

"Here. Let me, help you," Elizabeth as she helped Courtney stand up. Courtney leaned on Elizabeth and together they walked to the couch. Courtney hissed at the pain that shot through her body as she sat down. Elizabeth took a deep breath.

"I used to know Jason was because I was friends with Emily, but then one day when I was in Jake, grieving over Lucky's death, Jason helped me out of a bad situation, and I guess we just began friends."

"What?" Courtney asked, confused, "Lucky died?" Elizabeth sighed. She hadn't thought about that in such a long time.

"It's a long story," Elizabeth said, as she stood up, and started to pace the room. She wondered what her life would be like if Lucky hadn't been kidnapped. Would they be together right now?

"Elizabeth, if you don't want to talk about it, it is fine." Elizabeth turned around.

"No… it's fine, I want to talk about it. Lucky was my first love, I thought we would be together forever, but then the worst happened. Lucky "died" in a fire, but a year later we found out that he wasn't dead. It was all a set up. He was kidnapped, and then brainwashed him, and it has never been the same between us since. We tried to work everything out, but the love was gone."

"Oh, I'm sorry," Courtney said softly. She didn't know about any of this.

"It's ok," Elizabeth said softly, as she sat down next to Courtney. Elizabeth turned to face Courtney and saw that she was looking really pale.

"We are going to get out of here," she said as she got up and started walking around the cabin to see if there was a way out. She went into the bathroom to see if there was a way out there, but there was no window in there. Suddenly Elizabeth heard a scream, she ran out of the bathroom to see Courtney on the floor.

"Oh God! It's hurt so much. I don't think I can hang on any longer. Please, tell Jason that I love him," Courtney cried.

"You can tell him yourself when we get out of here," Elizabeth said. Elizabeth knew that it was now or never, she had to something before it was too late for Courtney, she then knew what she needed to do.

Back at Sonny's penthouse, Carly was sitting on the couch when Jason and Sonny entered.

"So did you find where Courtney is?" Carly asked as she stood up, and started walking towards them. She looked at both of them, and could tell by the expression on their faces that she already knew the answer.

"I'm sorry," Carly said as she put her arms around Sonny.

"Maybe we should call the police and get them involved in it,"

"No… all the police will do is get her killed, we have to do ourselves," Sonny said seriously.

"I thought you were going to stay with your mom, what are you doing here?" Carly looked up at Sonny.

"You know that I was only staying with her for a couple of days."

"Yeah, I know," he said as she grabbed a hold of his hand, "You look so exhausted, maybe you should get some rest,"

"Not until Courtney is home." He knew that the time was running out, if they didn't find her soon… he would lose his sister forever.

"Carly, me and Jason needed to talk, so," Sonny began looking at his wife. Carly nodded, understanding.

"I know, I will go upstairs and I won't listen," she said, as she leaned over and kissed him.

"Bye Jason," she said as she went upstairs. Sonny waited until he knew that Carly was gone before he said anything.

"Jason, we need to get the information out of Ric before it is too late," Jason looked at Sonny, and knew exactly what Sonny wanted him to do.

"Okay, I will do," Jason said, as she left the penthouse.

Elizabeth knew what she needed to do, but she wasn't sure if it was the right thing to do, but she had to do it now before Courtney bled to death. Elizabeth punched the door in with her fists, not even realizing exactly what she was doing. She began kicking it as well. She was bleeding, but it was a way out and that's all she cared. She pushed the boxes that Ric had put in front of the door to prevent them from leaving. She went over to Courtney.

"OK. Courtney, we are getting out of here. Take my hand, " Elizabeth said, as she held onto Courtney's hand, helping her stand up.

"We are going to get out of here, I promise," Elizabeth said in a determined voice. Courtney and Elizabeth got outside.

"What are we going to do now?" Courtney said. Elizabeth saw a bench nearby.

"You are going to sit here, while I try and find a phone," Elizabeth said. Courtney then saw that Elizabeth was bleeding.

"You are hurt,"

"It's nothing, it is just a small cut, "Elizabeth said, as that she was starting to feeling dizzy. She wobbled a bit.

"Elizabeth, are you okay, you look like you are going to faint," Courtney asked, concerned.

"I'm fine," she said, as she walked around the area to see if she could find a phone, and called Jason.

Ric was walking on the pier when he felt a gun against his back. He turned around, and saw Jason standing in front of him.

"You tell me where Courtney is now, or you are dead, and you know I can make it like you just disappeared nobody would expect me,"

"Oh wouldn't they?" Ric laughed. "You kill me, you will go to jail for life, so it would matter if you find your girlfriend or not because you won't be able to see her,"

"Just tell me now," Jason said, furiously, when suddenly his cell phone rang," Hello," he said, as he picked it up, still holding the gun to Ric's back.

"Jason, it's Elizabeth, I know where Courtney is," she said. Jason couldn't believe what he heard.

"How do you know?" was the first thing that Jason asked.

"It doesn't matter how right now… We are in a park called Whitehill Park. You need to come quickly… Courtney is hurt,"

"How bad is she?" he asked. But Elizabeth didn't say anything.

"Are you still there?" The phone line went dead, Jason didn't know it, but it wasn't only Courtney in danger, Elizabeth was on the ground uncounious. Jason took the gun off Ric's back, and hurried off.

"Where are you going, I thought you were going to kill me? "Ric said. Jason turned around.

"We aren't finished,"

"Is that a threat?" Ric said.

"No… it is a promise, you can't hurt Sonny's sister, and get away with it," Jason said as he hurried off. He just hoped that he makes in time.

To be continued.

Author's Note: I know that not many of you like Elizabeth. Well she used to be my favorite character until the show ruined her, so in my fic, I'm trying to make her more like her old character!!!
