I know most of you want to kill me for the cliff-hanger I left in the last chapter.

But this chapter is going to be much worst.

Chapter Eighteen:

"Thump!"

That was the sound I heard five seconds later. Both me and Abe ran to the open elevator and we saw something that made us breathe in relief. The lift was 6 feet under us in the whole and the top of it saved Scott and maybe Richard.

I saw blood on the lift and I knew it was Richard as it was near his dead. I couldn't tell if he was alive. Scott was alive, he looked scared and struggled out of Richard's grip.

"Oh my god," I said before shouting, "Scott! Are you okay?"

Scott stopped struggling and nodded, "I can't get out!"

"Stay there son!" Abe shouted, "We're going to get you out of there!" Abe rushed over to his guardians and they talked about a plan of getting Scott out of there.

"Rosie..." Scott said, his voice sounded scared and on the edge to tears.

I kneeled down the whole and smiled, "I'm here Scott."

Now he was crying and struggling out of Richard's grip. "I'm scared Rosie..."

"I know Scott...I know...we're going to get you out of there." I said.

"I want to go home..." He said.

I hated seeing him like this. I saw Abe and the guardian's continuing talking. It wasn't going to be another half an hour until they actually got a plan to get him out of there. And I remember the sign on the ground floor about the elevator being out of order, so I don't think the lift was going to last long.

I looked back at Scott's sad and scared face. My promise to Dimitri came back into my mind. Right now, I had to break it. My brother was in danger and I needed to get him out of there.

"Don't worry Scott," I said, balancing my leg over the hole and my hands tightly on the wall. "I'm coming."

"Rose!" Abe called, "No!"

Then I jumped.

I landed on the top of the lift and echoing of the sound of my landing on it echoed through the hole.

The lift moved for a minute before staying still again. I moved towards Scott and lifted up Richard's arm. Scott quickly jumped up and gave me a tight hug whilst crying into my shoulder.

"Rose!" I looked up to see Abe above us, along with Jake and Benson.

"I'm fine; we're fine!" I called and let go of Scott.

I went over to Richard and put my fingers on his purse on his neck. I could feel it, which meant he was still alive.

"He's alive!" I told my Dad and looked up to him. "We have to get him out of here!"

Abe looked troubled, "Rose...I can't...not after-"

"Oh for goodness sake's Dad!" I shouted at him, "Be the better man!"

He looked at me for a moment before nodding.

"Okay, I'll try and lift him up towards you guys!" I said and started to lift up Richard. God he was heavy.

But somehow, magically, I managed to lift him up towards the others.

"Come on guy!" I screamed.

My arms couldn't hold him for long, even with my half vampire strength. God, what the hell has Richard been eating? Then my thoughts went to his family. He had a son, just like Dad. Even though he wanted to kill Scott, right before he fell with Scott, I could see a bit of guilt in his eyes. Along with lost and sadness. Even though I hated him for hurting and scaring Scott, I understood him. He just missed his family. He had nothing while Dad had everything.

I was started to feel sorry for Richard. It can't be easy going day by day, without seeing your kids or your wife ever again. If I was in the place as Richard, I would want revenge too. But he got it on the wrong guy. He should of gone after Peterson.

Then Richard's weight became a bit more lighter as I saw Kyle and Benson getting him. Two more seconds later, all of Richard's weight was gone and he was carried through the hallway above us.

Abe looked down towards me, "Get ready for Scott, we'll get him out next!"

I nodded and went over to Scott.

He looked a bit more better than before, but still scared.

"Hey Scott, we're going to get you out of here now, okay?" I asked while putting my hands on his shoulders.

"What about you Rosie?" He asked.

I gave him a sad smile, "I'll be fine. Don't worry about me." I told him.

"Promise?"

God, what is with everyone and their promises?

"You remember when we first met?" I reminded him and he nodded, "And I promised that I'll always be there for you?" He nodded again, "If anything does happen to me, you have to know that I'll always be there for you. No matter what."

"Always?" He asked.

I nodded, "Always."

"Then promise me," He started, "Promise me that everything is going to be okay, that you'll going to be okay."

I swallowed. How could I promise this to a eight year old boy? I remember when I was younger and my mom promised me to see me sometime in the summer, but she broke that promise and I lost my faith in her. I didn't want Scott to ever lose his faith in me. But I didn't know any other way to reassure him.

I nodded, "I promise." Another bad move Rose, I thought to myself. Be and my promises, I promised Dimitri I wouldn't do anything stupid or reckless. And look where I am now, I broke that Dimitri, like my mom did to me. But I didn't have much of a choice.

He smiled at me and gave me a tight hug like he did before. I lifted him up and looked above to see his Abe and the others were ready.

Abe was there and put his arms out, "Give him here!"

I nodded and slowly lifted him up to Dad.

Unlike Richard, Scott was fairly light. I managed to get him to Dad safely.

When Dad got Scott out of the way, he said, "Benson and Kyle are going to take Scott and Richard to the van. Jake is just calling the Court clinic and telling them what happened to Richard. I'm just going to have a quick word with Scott and then me and Jake will get you out of there."

I nodded, "Hurry!" I called.

Then he was gone.

As I stood on top of the lift, my cell started ringing. I picked it up to see a text, from Dimitri.

Are you okay?

Dimitri

I smiled at the text. I loved how caring he was. I loved him. I couldn't really tell him that through a text.

So I simply just texted back saying:

Yeah, we're fine.

Rose

Then I put the cell back in my pocket.

Just then Abe appeared at above with Jake not too far behind him.

Abe gave me a teasing smile, "Why do you always have to be so stubborn Rose?" He put his hand out towards me.

I gave him a charming smile, "I wouldn't be your daughter if I wasn't." I said and reached out for his hand.

Suddenly, the lift moved and I heard something break. My heart started racing as I looked around me. I could hear something echoing around me and my breathing got quicker.

"Rose!" Abe called and turned back to him. I could see the worry in his eyes, the worry for this daughter as he reached out for me. "Quickly! Grab my hand!"

I tried to reach out for his hand.

But it was too late.

The lifted dropped, dragging me down with it. Lights were flashing everywhere as the lift was going down in high speed. I screamed as I bent down, covering myself.

"NOOOOO!" I heard Dad scream. I was a bit surprised I could hear him through my screaming.

But that was the last thing on my mind.

The things that were on my mind were my friends, my family; Jill, Dad, Scott and...

Dimitri.

Then everything went black.

ABE'S POV

"Promise me Daddy," Scott said to me, "Promise me you'll get her out of there."

I smiled at him, "I promise son. Now go on with Benson and Kyle."

He nodded and smiled at me before running off after Benson and Kyle who were carrying a Richard.

I went back to the elevator hole and looked down to Rose. I could feel that Jake was behind me.

I gave her a teasing smile, "Why do you always have to be so stubborn Rose?" I asked her and I put my hand out towards her

She gave me one of her charming smiles. "I wouldn't be your daughter if I wasn't." She replied and reached out to my hand.

Suddenly, the lift moved and one of the wires broke. My eyes widened as I looked back to Rose. There was fear written all over her face. I could hear something echoing and my heart started to race with fear and I was sure that Jake could hear it.

"Rose!" I called causing her to look back to me. I could see she was in total fear of what might happen. And I bet my eyes only showed worry. "Quickly! Grab my hand!"

She tried to reach out for my hand.

That's when it happened.

The lifted collapsed, with Rose still on it. Lights were flashing everywhere as the lift was going down in high speed. Rose screamed as I saw her bend down and cover herself.

"NOOOO!" I screamed in horror.

Then Rose disappeared, her screams echoing off the walls.

DUH DUH DUH!

Don't kill me please! I'm just going to run before you go after me like a witch hunt... *running away*.

So what did you think?

Do you think Rose will survive?

What will happen next?

Let me know while I'm running for my life!
