Still in recovery mode from wisdom teeth removal but I figure I should use my brain power to write what I could. Sorry for the cliffhanger. They're a past time of mine.


Ella shook her head. "No."

"It's going to be okay, Ella."

"You have to come with me. Please, Aunt Liv!"

Olivia remained very calm. To show the slightest bit of worry that was building up within her would only cause their last hope of escape to fall apart. "Ella, I wish I could go with you but I'll only slow you down. I can barely move."

Knowing it was inevitable, Olivia let her little niece cling to her shirt and wept. "I don't want to leave you."

"I know," said Olivia. "But I have faith in you, Ella. I know you can do it. You remember how I taught you to dial 9-1-1?"

Ella nodded her head.

"That's all you need to do, Ella. You get as far away as you can from here. Get to the street and then find a phone."

"But what about you?"

Olivia gave Ella a sad smile as she wiped her niece's tears. "I'll be okay. I want to give you your chance, and this might be it."

"I'm still scared, Aunt Liv." Ella hugged her aunt very tight and Olivia's turned to the cross pendant she had given her niece not too long ago and she cradled it into her hand. "You remember what I said when I gave this to you?"

"You said it would protect me."

Olivia smiled. "We're going to be okay, Ella. I just have a feeling we will."


Another day was winding down, and that wasn't a good sign. Walter finally returned from the attic with the box that he found to show to his son. Not long after did the Bishop boys hurried over to see Broyles so they could show them their newfound discovery.

"It's an interesting find. But there's nothing to show that these two cases could be related," said Broyles.

"It's all we have," said Peter. "Can't we at least look into this? We might be able to find something."

"We'll do what we can but we're talking about a serial killer who's never been caught or even identified."

"It had to have been someone who knew about the Cortexiphan experiments along with Belly and me," said Walter. "Which would include a numerous amount of assistants over the years."

"Do you have any reason why this killer was specifically targeted Cortexiphan children?"

"Well judging by the fact that the children were found without their eyes, brains, heart and other essential organs…"

"Oh god, Walter," Peter pleaded. "Just stop."

"I can only theorize that the killer believed the organs themselves were valuable because of the heavy amount of Cortexiphan running through the entire body."

"A black market," said Broyles.

"Precisely though I do not see what use Agent Dunham will be to them since the Cortexiphan in her system is not as strong as it once was but…oh dear…"

When Walter couldn't finish, Peter grabbed him by the arms. "Walter? What is it?"

There was that sudden look of dread on the old man's face. "I think I know why he would take the child," he said. "I think he's going to give her Cortexiphan."


Daylight wasn't going to be around for much longer. Olivia had to get Ella out now. Despite her broken limbs, she did what she could to support her niece and lift her up to the hole. "Can you reach it?"

"Yeah." Her small hands managed to grab something outside of the hole and she pulled herself out. Ella was nearly blinded by the daylight.

"Ella? Are you okay?"

Ella turned back towards the hole. She couldn't see her aunt, but she could still hear her. "It's too bright out here."

"You're gonna be alright soon," Olivia assured her. "Just do what I told you, okay?"

At that moment, Olivia was hearing something, the same noises she heard the night they were captured and the noise was getting closer. "Ella, go now!"

Ella cried again, "I love you, Aunt Liv."

"I love you too, baby girl."

Olivia waited inside and heard nothing more from outside of the hole. The footsteps continued in their advance, which in her mind was a good sign. A man appeared infront of the cell and his eyes locked with the big gaping hole in the wall.

"What the hell…"

But Olivia was quick to act and took her good arm placing it around the man's neck. She was going to hold him off as long as she could from going after Ella.

The man struggled in Olivia's grasp as he reached into his pocket for a syringe. He stabbed the needed into Olivia and she feel back, wincing in pain, freeing the man. It wasn't long before Olivia was lying on the ground unconscious.

Outside, Ella began walking around almost half-blinded by the sun. As her eyes slowly adjusted she could feel the warm breeze and heard what sounded like the crashing of waves. She continued movie forward until she tripped.

Whatever she fell into, it hurt. Her hands reached out to feel stone. Her vision began to clear until Ella could see nothing but blue skies and waters. That's when she realized that she was on a beach.

Fighting against the pain Ella got up and walked along the beach with the house she had escaped from just standing there yards away. She was getting frustrated. There were no streets and no phones like Aunt Olivia said there would be. And despite how far she walked, the house still stood there. She was trapped, going around in circles with no other streets and no other lands. The only escape there was would be to go into the water.

They were trapped on an island.

Soon Ella faced a dead-end at a slope of rock and quarry and was just about to give up. But then she spotted a small dock in the distance with a few boats tied up and everything.

But she didn't think things through when she decided to walk through the rocky slope in order to reach that dock. She lost her balance after only a few steps, and slipped and fell into the water.

Ella was helpless against the tide that was now carrying her, dragging her now from the beach she could no longer see until things went black.
