Ok guys, I know the summery may not make much sense but I'm going to explain. This is just a story that popped into my head while I was reading fanfic. I just want to point out that Cat DIDN'T really die! I just want to tell you guys that so you guys won't hate me for this! Vincent just THINKS Catherine died so yeah! I hope you all will enjoy this story!

It's all because of me. Shes dead...all...because...of...me! I should of been there for her, should of protected her like I promised on my life I would! If it wasn't for me, Catherine would be alive and happily living her life but instead...she's gone...

It all happened so fast, heck...I don't even know all of what happened, even tho it happened..all in front of me..

Catherine and I was working on a case, a series of 'beast killings' have happened outside the city and we was following up on a lead. I should of sensed the bullet heading straight towards us but I was too caught up with trying to track the guy that I could concentrate on anything else. Damn, if only I heard that gunshot ring out, I would of protected Catherine from getting hit...but...I failed her...I failed us...

You would think that Catherine's rapid heartbeat would give me a kind of warning, but I thought she was just nervous about what we would find inside the warehouse we was going in to, but I was wrong. I should of also saw that sniper up on the roof but again...I didn't!

I didn't notice all these thing until Catherine jumped in front of me yelling "noooooooo". That would of given me an idea of what was going on. I was about to ask her what the hell she was doing but then, I heard the ring of the shot. That's when it all came crashing down in front of me.

I blurred to catch Catherine and I held her tightly to me, I put her on the ground to take a look at the wound, but it was to late. She was coughing and I could smell her blood all over her. The gunshot hit her lower chest. Tears were building up in my eyes as I held her close.

"Hang on Catherine, help is on the way!"

Catherine coughed "Vincent..."

I knew what she was going to say "No, Catherine...your going to survive, we're going to get though this together!"

"Vincent, no..there's nothing the doctors can do, can't you see? The shots fatal...I...do..n..t...know...ho...w...lon..g...I...h..a...ve."

That's when I started crying and so did she. "Catherine..." I brushed a hair behind her ear.

"Vincent...I love you...I always will"

"I love you too Catherine...please...don't leave me alone."

Catherine smiled, she put her hand up to cup my check in her hand, I'll never leave you alone Vincent, I promise"

That's when the tears really started to fall.

"Please protect Heather, Tess, and JT Vincent! Their my family...please...don't let anything happen to them!"

I nodded my head, "I promise Catherine, I will with my life."

She smiled lightly, "That's my Beast, now...g..o...ki...ck...so...me...ass. I love you.."

With that, she closed her eyes and fell backwards in my arms.

"Catherine?" I asked

No answer

"Catherine!" "WAKE UP" I started shaking her but she wouldn't wake up. That's when the tears started falling hard. I put my forehead up against hers and cried for what felt like forever. I suddenly remembered what she told me to do...to go and kick some ass that would soon wish they never pulled the trigger. I looked up, eyes glowing bright amber.

I quietly let the beast take over, careful not to disturb Catherine, I placed her slowly and carefully on the ground and gently kissed the top of her head and jumped up. I was putting a plan that I quickly made up in my head and blurred into the building.

I don't really know what happened next, because of the loss of my beautiful Catherine, my beast went primal. If I coudln't turn back, I wouldn't even care, after this..I would try to kill myself because, what's the point of living, if the love of you life was just murdered in front of you?

All I know is that I let my grief and anger take over and I ripped every person inside that warehouse to shreds, when I was done with that...I quickly moved my way up to the roof where the gunman was last seen at but...he wasn't there.

'Shit' I mentally cussed. I tried to figure out what to do next when I remembered Catherine, I had to get word out to Tess and JT. Man, this would be a hard next few weeks, or months, or years, well nevermind! This was going to be a hard life without Catherine.

Catherine, my love
