CPOV:

RECAP:"I remember this morning, and talking to Jake at the lab. Then skipping lunch because of a scene. Then I left because of a lead, and found someone on the road. I got grabbed from behind, but I don't remember anything else." she whispered in pain before looking down in guilt.

"Eric what happened?" she asked in a whisper before moaning in pain.:END RECAP

"Calleigh, J-Jake took you. Don't you remember? He took you and attacked you. I almost lost you, and I just got you." Eric whispered in pain.

"Why? Why did he do this to me?" I started to cry, but was interrupted with a long hacking cough.

"I don't know, but I swear we're going to find him. I won't let him hurt you again." Eric said solemnly as I rocked with coughs.

"I love you -long hacking, body shaking cough- so much." I said before breaking into a fit of coughing.

"Calleigh, are you ok?" Eric asked, but the sound of his voice was lost with the next wave of coughing.

It took a moment for the feeling that sometihng was running down my face from my tears, ears, nose, and coming out of my mouth with each cough, to register as blood. Then I was aware of many things like Eric asking the doctors what was wrong as they rushed in.

I was looking at my eyelids and I forced them open so I could look at Eric. My eyes moved around frantically until I found his worried face. I calmed down as I started feeling sleepy and my eyelids drooped.

I fought to keep them open because I wanted to see Eric, but I lost and the darkness consumed me. I heard the rapid beeping of the machines fade until there was nothing. I heard the doctors rush around with commands, and heard them pull Eric out of the room. Then I heard nothing as I floated away from life.

Then I saw the most peculiar thing ever, my grandmother. She held out her arms and I ran into them, instantly a little girl again. My grandmother wasn't dead, she was alive and I loved her because she was never disappointed in me. She was full Chorekee Indian and when my mom remarried her new husband John Heffer-yes that's really his name-she quite being my mom, and became his People Of Faith perfect wife.

My grandmother has always accepted me as her daughter and she has replaced my mom since I was 13. I love her and the ways of our people, as she calls it. She shares all the legends and repects my choices. So when I saw her welcoming me into what was basically the after life its safe to say I was concerned.

"Grandma! I've missed you so much! I'm sorry I haven't visited lately, I've been very busy at work." I said in her arms, while I smelled the familiar scent of her lavender farm, and home.

"I have missed you too, u-we-tsi -a-ge-hu-tsa." she said as I smiled at the Cherokee word for daughter.

"But, Grandma how are you here? You aren't dead are you?" I asked as my heart clenched.

"No u-we-tsi-a-ge-hu-tsa, I am not dead, but you are dying. I was sent here by our ancestors to tell you it is not your time. Do not give up." she said seriously.

"Grandma I tried! I fought as hard as I could but I was just so tired! I don't want to leave Eric, we just got together! I love him Grandma, and he loves me back. He is the person I think I'm supposed to be with." I said while tears ran down my face.

"Calleigh, you can return to him. If he is the one that has your heart you cannot be seperated from him. Think about him and you will return to your body. You will most likely have to sleep my dear, but know that I'll be there and so will Eric." she said quickly.

"No, he won't Grandma. I know Horatio, he'll make Eric leave, like he did with me when Eric got shot. Eric won't fight with him, just like I wouldn't." I sid as a tear slid down my cheek.

"I will fight for him to stay u-we-tsi-a-ge-hu-tsa." she said before whispering "Go back to him Calleigh."

I felt myself slip away from her and I felt fabric covering me and heard the beeping of machines. I just listened to the sound of Eric breathing, but it was interrupted by the sound of a doctor coming in the room.

"Mr. Delko, she's stabalized for now, but we don't how long it'll last. She's getting stronger and stronger, but not enough to pull herself out of this. Somebody else is also here to sit with the two of you." i heard the door open and smelled the familiar scent of lavender.

"She'll wake up any minute now Eric." my grandma said, as my eyelids lost all their weight and I opened them...
