I suddenly found myself on the beach with Gabriel, my hands still cackling with electricity. One minute I was in the Bennet house, trying to get Claire and the next I was here. I was still wearing only Gabriel's shirt which went about to my thigh. The eclipse was over but now it was nighttime.

"What was that?" I asked Gabriel as I powered down.

"Hiro Nakamura." He answered. Yes Kaito Nakamura's son. I think he had time travel powers.

"Ah strange day." I commented as I limped over to him. Damn I really wish that we did have Claire here because then I could use her blood to heal my fucking leg.

"Was Bennet lying about my parents?" Gabriel asked me seriously as he looked me in the eye. I knew I couldn't tell him the truth and that the Petrellis weren't actually his parents.

"Of course he was. He's Bennet." I lied.

"He seemed to think that you knew something about them." He continued. Oh crap why does Claire's dad have to be such a fucking douche?

"He's just trying to mess..." I said as I looked over my leg. Gabriel held me in his arms. "…with you."

"Sit down." He instructed as he sat me on the ground. God I was in so much pain. Damn I hate being shot. Gabriel began to run his hand over my face before I turned and looked at him. I gasped before he looked into my eyes and kissed me. I then noticed that his hand glowed. Oh crap that was exactly how that whore Bridget's power worked. He must have taken it. He started to make out with and pushed me to the ground. He interlocked our fingers, pinning me to the ground. "I've been thinking."

"About what?" I asked nervously.

"What you said about finding ourselves free of parents and powers." He stated. Okay I really did not like the inflection that he used.

"What about it?" I asked even more nervously.

"You were wrong." He replied. He's going to kill me. I just know it. There's nothing that I can do to stop him. "Nobody ever really changes."

"You did." I tried to tell him. I had a strong feeling that it wouldn't work. "I saw you."

"It was temporary." He responded. "And then I got my powers back. And I understand now. I'm never gonna change."

At that point, I could have sworn that heard someone. I thought about screaming for help but it wouldn't do any good. No way would they be able to stop him.

"Neither are you because we're both just damaged goods." He continued. I could have changed. I really could've changed. If I had never gone into Pinehearst in the first place, I wouldn't have fallen back into this role of company girl. I could have left with Claire and Peter. My powers could have been fixed. Peter was good at that empathy thing even without his powers.

"You're hurting me." Was all that I could say.

"I know." He replied as he lifted his finger to begin to cut my head open. My braced myself for the pain when all of a sudden I heard a gunshot. Before I could even register what happened Gabriel fell limp on me. I put my hand on the back of his head and felt blood. Someone shot him. That's the only way that you kill a healer and by a wound to the head. I pushed his body off of mine with all of my strength and I couldn't believe what I saw. I couldn't believe who the person holding the gun was.

"Claire?" I asked in shock. How did she get here? How did she know where we were? How did she get a gun?

"Long time no see." She commented. It was like she wasn't angry at me at all. And what the hell did that mean? It couldn't have been more than a few minutes.

"What the hell, cheerleader!" I exclaimed as I tried to stand. Oh god I was still in a lot of pain.

"Here let me help you." She offered as she walked over to me. She was still holding the gun. Did she come to kill me as well? She held me up as she put the gun in her coat pocket.

"How did you get here?" I asked.

"It's a long story." She told me. "Right now we have to do something about that leg."

"What are you going to do?" I asked. If she was offering me her blood, I would gladly take it.

"I need to make a phone call." She said as she took out her phone. "Hi Dad. I'm on the beach. I need you to come down here right away. Bring a full set of clothes and a syringe."

Okay so not only was Claire going to give me her blood but she was also going to give me something to wear. What had I done to deserve such kindness from her? I mean I shot her and attacked her mother. This is very strange day.

"Okay so he's coming down here." She replied as she hung up the phone. She then proceeded to tell me what happened. Apparently Hiro had taken her back in time for some reason to the day she was given to Bennet. She actually spent some time babysitting herself. She then told Bennet not to give her to Kaito. Apparently after that, Hiro had the catalyst put inside of him. That was when Papa Petrelli showed up and stole Hiro's powers and the catalyst and threw him off the roof.

"So then Arthur told me that I killed Sylar and saved you, it would be saving him. I didn't want you to die so I agreed and he sent me back here." She concluded. I couldn't help but wonder if she was omitting someone but she had saved me. Why didn't she want me to die?

Almost as soon as she stopped his explaining, a car pulled up and Bennet stepped out. I noticed his face and I could see several versions of shock on his face. Those were probably that Sylar was dead, that Claire killed him, and she wanted to help me.

"Claire what are you doing?" He asked her. "There's no way I'm giving your blood to that psychopath."

He was talking about me like I wasn't even here. I always hated when people did that. I'm not a child. I'm 25 years old for crying out loud.

"Dad I really think that I can help her." Claire argued. "She was trained to be ruthless and unemotional but I think I can undo it. I know that there's a good person in there somewhere."

That was really sweet. No one had ever said anything that nice about me when I was around. Bennet handed her the syringe and she stabbed it into her arm. Once it was full, she took it out and stuck it my leg. If I didn't know that her blood was disease free, I would be worried. I saw wound that Bennet had caused healing and the pain went away. I don't know what came over me but I suddenly hugged her.

I broke away from her seconds later. She gave me the bag of clothes and I was suddenly happy that I was the same size as Claire. While I was changing, I began to eavesdrop on their conversation.

"So I'm going to Pinehearst with Elle." She told. "I have some unfinished business that I need to take care of."

So apparently I'm going back to Pinehearst. I figured that it would be a good idea to listen to Claire since she was helping me and not listening to her got me in a bunch of trouble earlier. On top of that she had a gun, which I presume is still loaded, especially if she plans on killing Arthur. I will have also completed my mission. Sure she was only going there to kill him and didn't have the catalyst in her but it would still be a success.

"If you can, try to contact the Haitian. That's how Angela beat him before." Bennet replied. "I'll get rid of the body."

"Do you have a gas can in there?" I asked.

"Yes." He said.

"Can I have it?" I questioned.

"No." He replied.

"Come on I think the best way to get rid of the body is by burning it. It's much quicker than digging a grave." I explained. He hesitantly gave the gas can with gas in it to me. I poured it over Gabriel's body and used my powers to start a fire. I probably shouldn't have been so happy about burning a guy who loved me for about an hour but he also tried to kill me several times.

"So let's get going Claire Bear." I said. Bennet frowned at that but Claire smiled. She liked me for some odd reason. Someone actually like me! I need to have a party after Arthur is dead. I don't know how or where but I've decided I will throw a party. Okay so Claire might be the only one there but that's good enough.

So Claire and I took her dad's car and began to drive towards Pinehearst. It would definitely take longer to get there then by plane. I trusted that Claire knew what she was doing though.

Once we were on the road, I decided to speak. "So can I say that I'm sorry?" I asked.

"It doesn't really matter." Claire replied. "If I anything I should apologizing. I should have dragged you away from there. Then this whole mess wouldn't have happened."

"They chained me up as soon as I got there." I remarked. "You were right all along. I also don't think that I want to be a company girl anymore. I'm not sure what I'll do cause I don't know how to do anything else but I'll figure something out."

"We can figure that out later." She responded.

"Do you think we could stop somewhere and get me some new clothes?" I asked.

"What's wrong with those?" She countered.

"They have your cheerleader germs on them." I joked. "I feel like I should be doing cartwheels and shouting peppy statements."

Claire rolled her eyes. "Maybe later." She remarked

The drive to Pinehearst was very long. We took turns driving all night to get there. About halfway we just decided to screw it and took a plane. We arrived there in the evening. When we got there the guards were already taken out. Someone else had been here.

"I don't think that we're the first ones here." Claire commented as she drew her gun.

"So how are we going to do this?" I asked.

"I get a clear shot on him when he's not suspecting it." She replied.

As we took the elevator, I tried to charge up in case there were any guards we got there. Nothing came out.

"Claire I think the Haitian's here." I remarked.

"That makes things easier." She said.

We walked toward the clearing. That was when I noticed the Haitian…and Peter. It seemed like he had the same idea that Claire did.

Claire walked in into the room and followed closely but not too closely.

"Claire, I see you've made it back here." Arthur said. At that point she drew her gun. "Why you ungrateful little…"

That was when she fired, hitting him point blank n the head. He feel to the ground dead.

"Claire?" Peter asked as I walked inside. "Elle?"

"You should probably try to do something about the formula." Claire said to Peter "I've done what I needed to do. And just to make sure that I don't kill anyone else…"

Claire dropped the gun.

"We should get going." She told me as I followed her out of the building. I don't know where we were going but anywhere was better than here.

So this chapter was written in Elle's POV. The action has been moving along pretty quickly. I'm here to announce that this story will only have three chapters. So the only thing that is left is for Elle and Claire to get together. That will be in the next chapter, I promise. Don't forget to review.
