I do not own Fringe or any of its character or themes. I do however own Cassidy Williams and anything pertaining to her. Warning this story may eventually become depressing for some viewers, maybe but probably not. The rating will be mostly towards violence and language and maybe I tiny bit to gore so… be warned. There will be no mature themes.

Currently they are in the Alternate Universe or Red verse, depending on which Fringe Fan you ask. The story is currently a the time on the storyline where Olivia and Alt-Liva switch places. The story does not completely follow the storyline. Some areas that were only days will be made weeks, and weeks made into days. Alright to the story we go.

Cassidy's POV Alternate Universe

My leg and hip were throbbing in pain and my eyes were blurring intermittently. Whatever was in those syringes that guard pushed me on, was not agreeing with me. In order to keep from toppling over ever few steps, I ran my hand along the brick alley walls. They were moist and cracking. Running to behind a trash can, I heard voices come around the corner a few seconds later. It was the cops, Lincoln and Liv. They asked some questions before being directed past me. I pressed myself further against the wall as they jogged by. Attempting to move a sudden spike of pain went through my hip. I looked down to see three syringes piercing my gown and my skin. They went deep into my thigh and pelvis. There were a few blood stains on the gown but not enough to cause serious alarm. Grasping the syringes and pulled them from my skin, leaving tiny strings of semi-clotted blood hanging from them. I shuddered but keep the needles in my hand, they might come in handy later, but right now I need better clothes.

I peeked out from behind the trash can and glanced around. They were gone but that didn't solve the problem at hand. I walked around a little longer looking here and there for some clothes before I spotted it. A nice little shop, a clothing shop. No price tag detectors or cameras. Listen to me I sound like a harden criminal. I silently creeped in and grabbed a few things off the metal hangers. I felt really bad about stealing but not enough to put the things back. Tip toeing around the store I finally was able to make it to a changing room before anyone spotted me.

Taking off the flimsy piece of scratchy cloth, I started getting dressed in the cramped and stuffy room. I had been sensible and picked a nice pair of dark jeans, a cotton tank top (it was red), a black leather jacket, and some nice of leather combat boots. I pulled my hair into a high ponytail before shoving the needles into one of the jacket pockets. Sighing I gathered the gown and finally remember the wallet I had stolen off of the Captain. Deciding it was safe in here at the moment I picked around. He had some money, a few pictures (one of which was him with a lady I recognized as Liv), and a weird card. It had 'show me' written across the top of it. Odd. I shoved it in my back pocket and creeped out of the store again. Making a quick note of the name and the price of the items I'd taken.

I walked along the streets for a while during which I had picked up a dusty baseball cap that smelled vaguely of cinnamon and put it on. Suddenly I started feeling woozy again. People along the street asked if I was okay when I feel to one knee. I assured them I was okay before moving on this time deciding to travel back alleys. When I felt woozy again I figured it was time to tack a break from walking.

I sat against the cold wall of a bakery. Even though I was outside it felt like I was in a freezer. Something was very wrong. I took a peak at my wounds before wishing I hadn't. I hadn't taken time to look at them when undressing. I regretted that right now. They swollen and turning a dark purple maybe black color. They throbbed at the slightest touch. I rested my head against the bricks once again. The clay like substance bit into the skin on my forehead but I didn't feel it. All I could feel was the cold. I tightened my grip on the jacket pulling it closer. Shiver coiled in the pit of my stomach before being released like earthquakes in my body. I was sick. I chuckled slightly even though it felt like I was tearing apart my lungs. I looked around trying to find anyone who could help but there was no one here. It was silent just the honking of cars a few streets away could be heard. Snuggling further into myself, I bit back a cry of pain when I sat on something sharp. I sat up and felt under my butt but felt nothing. I sat down again but couldn't suppress the cry of pain this time. All I could manage was a small 'Ow'. I felt under me again, nothing. I felt my back pockets then slapped my forehead in disbelief. The wallet. I took it out from my right back pocket before tentatively sitting down. Peace, finally.

I chucked the piece of trash away from me. It was useless. Unless it had a cure in there or something. Or someone? I dragged myself over to where it sat in the dirt. I flipped the stupid thing open before finding what I was looking for, an address.

Alternate Lincoln's POV Alternate Universe.

"I can't believe she escaped!" That was the first thing I said to Liv after she woke up. She had a look across her face that said 'I know right' and 'I am impressed'. Now we were walking into Fringe headquarters where no doubt Charley was there to laugh at us, well mostly me. '

"I can't believe you guys got taken out by a girl. I mean she had fangs right and super strength. I mean I could believe that Linc would get taken out by a teenage girl but you Liv? What happened?" He said gesturing to me before looking to Livia.

I growled before muttering 'what does that mean.'

"I don't know. All I know is she was bound and determined to get out of there. After that I think I hit my head a little hard because I remember her eyes turning gold, ;so my memory isn't the best to look at right now." Liv said still continuing the conversation with Charley. I rolled my eyes and rolled up to my desk. Shoving some papers off my desk I went to put my badge away to find my whole wallet missing. I checked my other pockets, Olivia's purse, and I still couldn't find it.

"This day is getting better and better. I lose my wallet, badge, and show me. I lose a suspect, get to visit the hospital, and travel around the slums of New York. This day is awesome." I said banging my head on my desk before putting my head on my hands. Rubbing my eyes I went to go get some tea from the break room. Just as I was crossing the floor, my phone started ringing. I huffed but went to answer it.

Putting the cold, black phone against my ear I listened to the caller.

"Hello Mr. Lee it would seem that your Show Me has been stolen." It was Mr. Liam, my buildings door keeper.

"How do you know this?"

"A young women attempted to get into the building with it. However before she could get fully in she passed out due to multiple injuries." Hmmm. That sounds like our escape.

"Where are they taking her?"

"New York Hospital Queens."

"Thank you is there any way you could hold onto my show me for a few moments til' I get there."

"Of course."

"Thanks be there in five."

I put the phone done before turning to my partners.

"I found her."

Cassidy's POV Alternate Universe, A few minutes before.

I slowly walked the street trying to blend in. I knew it wouldn't matter before long but I was hoping maybe I could keep the freedom that felt so new to me. I wiped a tear from my paling face before continuing. My legs felt like rubber, rubber that felt pain each time even a molecule moved. It was a burning pain like being on fire but the flames were ice cold. Logically I knew I was burning up but I felt so cold. My thigh felt like it was slowly being sawed off by a mini chainsaw. A chainsaw that wasn't very sharp, it toke forever to cut, making its medium wait in agonizing pain. I stumbled slightly before regaining my balance. No one noticed.

I stumbled more and more, and more and more people started to notice.

I finally managed to get where I was going. But when I went to swipe the card my vision blurred and I stumbled barely managing to grab onto the wall to avoid falling. My breathing was labored and it was still hard to see. I could feel people's accusing stares stabbing me in the back. My fingers fumbled around for a second before swiping the card. I had a glimmer of hope I would remain free before the floor flooded my vision.

...

I could hear yelling. They were angry no… rushed, panicked. I felt tingly but pain free. I wanted to thank the doctors but I couldn't move… I couldn't move…

I tried to move. It's like I could feel my soul beating against my insides trying to get my body to move. When I started to panic I was finally able to move. I flailed around trying to get off the cart. I remember catching something with my finger nails. I mumbled an apology and then my hands were restrained. I wanted to cry. For some reason I still couldn't see.

"I don't know what to do doctor. Her vitals are all over the place. She has bruising, puncture marks, scraps, needle marks, and she looks like she's been run over by a bus."

"Get me a blood panel, let's see what drugs she's doing."

If I could laugh I would have, they wouldn't find the drugs in my system on that panel. I started tugging on the right restraint. Giving up on tugging I managed to dislocate my thumb to slip my hand out. They noticed I could hear them trying to find safer restraints. As they tried to keep me done I reached into my jacket pocket and pulled out the syringes. Dried blood still coated the needles but I figured they could still use them. As I tried to show them to the doctors, my hand went limp, and one by one they slowly crashed to the floor. One by one I saw my only hope at living fall to the floor.

One tear escaped my eyes as I slowly gave in to what I would call the abyss.
