The List 21

Alright. I do not own Heroes. Any characters that you do not recognize are mine. This story takes place after the events of Season 1. This is an AU fic. Now here are some warnings. If reading anything that contains original characters, Sylar falling in love, alternate universes and Sylar struggling to become a good person is not what you are interested in please do not flame. I would like for you to read it and give me your thoughts. Thank you. Also to let you know anything in other languages will be in english but I will have a creative way of letting you know that they don't speak english. Alright lets begin.

HEROES PATH OF DARKNESS PATH OF LOVE
CHAPTER ONE
The old clock on the wall started to chime midnight in the small apartment in Brooklyn, New York. The size of the bedroom was not overly big but it was made comfortable with simple things like a plain dresser a small twin bed and a vanity over near the closet. All along the walls pictures were hanging ranging from a child to teens and to her current age. Pictures with family members from birthday parties to graduation. Ami Farris however was sleeping peacefully in her bed her grandmother's quilt lay above her as she slept gently on her side. To many who look at Ami they would see a breathtaking beauty with porcelain skin and dark slightly curled hair that reached her shoulder blades, full lips and a flawless old style beauty that had heads turning and seemed to only improve now that she was in her early thirties. However to Ami she would always wonder why people were looking at her. She was also slightly tall for a woman when she was in high school many people called her an Amazon due to her height at around 5'8". Ami dreamed peacefully as she snuggled under the covers. Ami awoke suddenly when she heard a loud thud bang against her door.

Getting up Ami grabbed a robe to cover her lilac colored spaghetti strap nightgown. After tying the belt Ami cautiously opened the door of her bedroom and walked into the her living room slash kitchen her grey eyes looking around to find the source of the sound. Ami took a deep breath to suppress a chill that was going down her spine as she pulled her robe closer to her. Going to the spare room Ami took a deep breath and opened the door to see no one there. Closing the door Ami froze when she heard moaning coming from outside her door. Ami froze at the sound her heart beating faster than she could have ever believed as she slowly made her way over to the kitchen and grabbed a butcher's knife and holding it close to her she walked over to her door. Her breath was shaky and her whole body had a slight tremor to it as she gripped the door handle with her free hand.

Ami opened the door and screamed as a man fell down. Only half of his was in the room. His legs and feet were in the hallway while the man's torso arms and head fell to the side. Ami covered her mouth and nose to block the putrid smell that invaded her nose seeing that the man was covered in filth. However she paused as she saw blood starting to pool around the floor.
"Oh my God." said Ami as she bent over and gingerly taking the man's shoulder pulled him over from his side to his back to get a better look at his face. She saw that dried blood surrounded his lips and was some had come down to his chin. His face had stubble of hair on it and his own hair was matted from whatever he had been in. Ami at first thought he was dead until she noticed the small movements in his chest. However as Ami looked at the man's face she quickly dropped the knife and ran to her kitchen and grabbed the phone and dialed 911.
"Hello this is Ami Farris. I live in an apartment building on the corner of Wilcox and Turner. I need an ambulance someone has been stabbed and theirs blood everywhere." Ami practically screamed into the phone.
"Alright ma'am we are on our way." said the operator.
"Hurry." said Ami as she hung up the phone and kneeled down next to the man.
"Gabriel what happened to you?" asked Ami as she quickly got up to get changed not wanting to leave Gabriel behind.

Ami paced the waiting room for about three hours since she was in the ambulance. She still couldn't believe it. Gabriel Grey someone she hadn't seen since high school just stumbled at her door in the middle of the night. Sitting Ami felt tired and wondered what others would think if they saw her hair in a very sloppy ponytail with her old college hoodie and old faded jeans with flip-flops. Sighing Ami cursed herself for thinking of herself and not of Gabriel who was bleeding to death in surgery. Ami thought back to the Gabriel she had seen at her door. He looked so different than when she last saw him before she left for Boston to go to school there. However she still remembered the Gabriel Grey who had his hair always neat and tidy and he would wear cardigans and blazers with his glasses. They had both been outsiders growing up in school and formed a friendship. She now more than ever regretted letting Gabriel slip out of her life.

"Ms. Farris." came a voice that broke her out of her thoughts. Looking up Ami felt herself stiffen when she saw a doctor a balding man who looked to be over fourty come into the room. Dr. McDreamy he was not.
"It's Dr. Farris. I'm a child psychologist. Is Gabriel alright?" said Ami getting up slowly looking at him with a mix of fear and anticipation.
"It was a rough surgery. We did everything in our power." started Dr. Hendricks and Ami felt herself starting to crumble.
"Is he..." Ami sobbed not being able to finish.
"No. He is a strong man. Mr. Grey is still alive. The surgery was touch and go but he is now in ICU recovering. I have to tell you I have never seen someone survive with losing so much blood and having a collapsed lung. We also had some infection from the sewage he somehow fell in. But other than that he will be fine." said Dr. Hendricks.
"Thank you." said Ami closing her eyes and letting tears fall from her face. "When can I see him?" asked Ami.
"You can go up there now." said Dr. Hendricks as Ami got up and prepared to leave.
"Oh and Dr. Farris." said Dr. Hendricks causing Ami to turn around.
"Yes." said Ami.
"He should be grateful to have stumbled across your door. You saved his life." said Dr. Hendricks.
"Thank you." said Ami as she left the room Dr. Hendricks however took a deep breath and sat back down.
"At least I was able to deliver some good news tonight." said Dr. Hendricks as he thought back to the blond woman he had seen hours earlier who had lost her husband.

Ami quietly opened the door and walked into the room freezing at the sight. Gabriel was asleep with wires attaching him to an IV as well as a heart monitor. Ami looked to see how pale Gabriel was and bit her lip as she walked over and grabbed a chair and with a grunt lifted it and put it next to the bed. Sitting down Ami looked over Gabriel in concern and took her hand and reached out to hold Gabriel's hand gently rubbing it.
"Please be okay Gabriel." said Ami as she looked at him.

Ami froze when she felt her hand being given a gentle squeeze and looked to see Gabriel starting to groan and then hiss in pain.
"It's okay Gabriel. Your in the hospital." said Ami as she got up and kneeled over him.
Gabriel opened his eyes and blinking a few times cleared his vision to see a woman who looked familiar to him.
"Ami." Gabriel said his voice low and dry.
"Yeah Gabriel its me." said Ami holding back tears.
"What happened?" asked Gabriel closing his eyes.
"You somehow came to my door and you passed out. I called an ambulance. You were bleeding really badly." said Ami in a small scared voice.
Gabriel nodded as he hissed in pain.
"Could you get me some water?" asked Gabriel weakly.
"Yes of course." said Ami as she let go of Gabriel's hand and started towards the small table in the room that had a pitcher filled with water.

Gabriel looked at Ami as he allowed his eyes to harden. Sylar looked at Ami and could already feel his body starting to ache. But not in pain due to the sword that had been thrust through his chest. No this was a different ache a one that was causing him to go into a frenzy. Ami was like him special and with a power. Sylar tried to lift his hand but found it difficult and stopped after a few seconds. He looked at Ami his breathing becoming labored. He could feel a part of him protesting about this. Ami had once been a friend to him. However Sylar's lust for the power that was inside of her threw all other thoughts from her mind. He needed her power but he was to weak. Sylar gave in to the inevitable. He was going to have to wait and when he was strong enough. He would kill Ami and take her power for his own.

Okay everyone that was chapter one. Now to adress another concern Ami will not be a Mary Sue. In fact this story will feature her as a main character but will not overshadow any of the others. As for what her power is your just going to have to wait and see. Hope you enjoyed Chapter One. Leave me a review to let me know what you think.

That's pretty darn good. I would definitely read the rest if you post it. 8.3/10. I want to possibly make something like this (like script the episode segments about my Peter saves Kaitlin theory if they don't do it on the show.) but I won't have time for something like that for a long time. Until then, anything about Heroes that doesn't suck is probably something I'll enjoy.
