'fdsa'- inner Claire

'normal Claire thoughts

Chapter 4: No Other Way

Sylar and Claire stood side by side, looking into a cloud like a crystal ball that showed them everything that had just transpired between the four men, an evil smirk on Sylar's face.

"Well we'll just have to keep moving then. However, let's give them clues to help find you. Keep them on their toes. What do you think?" Sylar wrapped his arm around her shoulders.

Claire gave an evil smile, placing her hand over his, "I'd like that. I'd like that very much."

(Claire's POV)

I rubbed his hand with mine as it still laid on my shoulder. I felt him tense with my motion, but I soon felt him relax and I smiled inwardly. I was beginning to feel strange emotions towards Sylar. I had never felt this feeling before in my life. I used to think of this man as a monster, but……now I see him for who he is, for what is inside of him.

Sure he had an over obsession of being powerful, but who doesn't?

Okay, I admit that was a stupid question.

Plus he wasn't have bad looking, from what I could see that wasn't covered, in fact if he wasn't that was he was he would be mauled by girls and have to beat them off with a stick.

Hold on……am I……in love…with SYLAR?

Okay, WTF moment going on here. Sure he helped me with my powers and has cared for me, but I can't be in love with him.

'But he is so cute. Don't you want to know what he looks like….underneath?'

No, no! Perverted thoughts, eww. Go away.

I'm not sure what to think about him anymore. I snap back to reality to see him sitting back in his chair across the room. He tilts his head to the side and smirks.

"Welcome back Claire. Have a nice trip?" He laughed at his joke. I, however, didn't find it so funny. I crossed my arms in front of my chest, a serious look on my face.

"Ha-ha, cute. Very cute." My voice dripped with sarcasm as I strode over to him and threw myself on the couch across from his chair. I rolled over onto my side and looked at him.

"So……" I began.

He looked at me, confused. "So……what?"

"When will you start training me?" I asked, smiling seductively at him. He grinned at me.

"Soon Claire, very very soon. But for now, sleep. I wouldn't want to wear you out. We can have you getting hurt now can we."

He stood up from his chair and came over to me, placing his hand on my head. He softly ran his hand over the top of my head before bringing it down over my eyes. I heard him whisper something softly in my ear, and everything went dark.

2 Days Later

(Peter's Apartment)

Nathan, Peter, Noah, and Mohinder all gathered around Peter's coffee table, which had a large map of New York placed over it.

They had spent the last two days trying to find Claire, but no luck. They didn't even know if she was still in New York. She could be in Antarctica for all they knew, but for the time being, they focused on New York.

Since Peter had come in contact with Molly, he was able to mimic her ability, but he wasn't very good. In fact, every time he tried to do it he would pass out. But he practiced it so much that now he could at least get the thumbtack in the map somewhere but, it would be out in the middle of nowhere.

Nathan and Noah were beginning to lose hope, and knew that if they did find Claire, she would probably be dead. Or with her head cut open and brain missing. Which no one in the room, especially Peter, wanted to see. After everything he went through to save her, he was not going to give up on her unless he saw her corpse right in front of him.

Mohinder took a deep breathe and sighed, his chin resting in the palm of his hand. Nathan and Peter sat next to each other, Nathan with his head in his hands and Peter chewing on his thumbnail. Noah was next to Mohinder, leaning back against the couch and arms crossed over his chest. The only sounds heard were their breathing and the soft ticking of the clock on the wall.

Although, to Peter, the ticking sounds like a jackhammer to his brain and soon threw the clock across the room with his mind. Everyone turned and watch the clock break into pieces.

Peter breathed deeply, "Were running out of time. We need to use Molly. I am not getting anywhere fast with trying to learn this power. She's had it longer than me and is probably a pro. Please Mohinder, I am begging you."

Mohinder could tell Peter was serious by the look in his eyes, and both Nathan and Noah both matched Peter's look. Mohinder tried to deny those looks and come up with an excuse as to why they shouldn't use Molly. Unfortunately, there was none.

Mohinder stood up, pacing back and forth. The other men watched his movements carefully. Mohinder continued this for another few minutes until Nathan slammed his fist on the table in anger.

"Come on Suresh! You know there is no other way. We need to find Claire and we need to find her now!" Nathan was beyond mad, he was pissed. He was pissed because his daughter was missing and he couldn't do anything about it. He knew Noah was probably feeling the same thing but chose not to show it. Nathan's chest heaved as he took deep breathes to calm himself down.

Peter stood up, "We won't get anywhere if we yell at each other. Nathan, I know your upset but that is no excuse for getting angry at Mohinder." Peter turned to Mohinder, "You know that Nathan is right. There is nothing else we can do. If we want to find Claire alive, we need to use Molly tonight."

Mohinder stood there with the three men's gaze staring down on him, sending chills up his spine. He ran a shaky hand through his hair and sighed heavily. He dropped his hands to his side, "Fine, we'll use Molly."

Sylar stood before the crystal ball watching the four men with peaked interest. A devious plan already popping into his head, he grinned evilly as he strode over to Claire's motionless sleeping form. He ran his hand through he blonde locks, taking in her beauty.

"I know exactly what to do to get those boys off our backs. Unfortunately though, you'll have to die."

I am soooooo sorry it took so long for me to update my story. I've just been putting it off and putting it off. I also didn't have any ideas for this chapter. But today I did. Plus I want to write another story using how season 2 started. But I need to finish this story first. Anyway you know the drill.
