So, first off, to anyone that was reading my other story, the Cat & Tori one, I'm sorry I had to delete it, my mind just went blank, I had no ideas, I had no choice

But after a while, I'm back now, and back in my element, with my kind of story

I hope you like it, all reviews are appreciated :)

Burning Inside

Have you ever got so angry that you just lost control?

Something changed inside of you, all the happy thoughts were replaced by bad ones.

Pain, death, fire?

Little Cat Valentine, the always happy, always smiling, go a mile out of her way to do you a favour redhead, but underneath that exuberant exterior, lay something dangerous, something dwelling inside Cat, and when she got angry, it came out.

*Flashback*

"Come on Cat, it will be fun" Jade demanded as the group stood outside Beck's truck waiting, they had all planned to go camping out in the woods for a weekend, Cat liked the idea, until the day came, the thought of the dark, the cold, being away from her parents, terrified Cat.

"I... I don't want to go" Cat almost whispered, clutching her purple giraffe close to her chest, her giraffe was sacred to her, whenever she felt alone, or scared, she could always rely on that one soft toy to be there and cheer her up.

"Oh, is little Cat scared?" Jade teased, "leave her alone Jade" Tori hissed, quickly walking over to Cat, who by now was staring at the floor, Tori put a hand on her shoulder, "it's okay that you might be a little scared Cat, I am too, just trust me, I'll protect you if anything happens, it will be fun I promise" Cat could see the emotion in Tori's eyes, she was sincere with every word.

"I told you we shouldn't have asked Cat to come" Jade raised her voice, "I knew she'd get scared, I didn't think it would be this soon though, I thought she'd last until we were actually there, then start crying and we'd have to all come back" Jade was shouting, Tori kept a firm grip on Cat's shoulder, keeping their eye's locked, almost as if Tori was guiding Cat through what Jade was saying, without Cat getting hurt by the words.

"Stop being such a baby Cat" Jade screamed from right behind Tori, she was ranting a lot but neither Cat nor Tori had taken notice until Jade tried to single them out.

Tori turned around, looking Jade dead in the eye, "you're upsetting her, you know she's fragile, you know she's emotional, you know the words you're using will make her cry yet you do it anyway!" normally no one ever stood up to Jade.

Jade, ignored Tori though, and stepped closer to Cat, snatching the purple giraffe from her clutch, Cat's big, brown, tear filled eyes shot up, looking at the giraffe, and then to Jade.

She knew tears were coming, but she didn't want to cry, "don't cry, don't cry, I'm a big girl, don't cry" she repeated these words to herself over and over, but she was fighting a losing battle.

A single tear rolled down, Cat could feel the rage building inside her, everyone had that 'point of no return' switch inside, Cat had never been pushed anywhere close before, but Jade was doing exactly that.

"Give me my giraffe back" Cat's tone was hushed, her voice stern though, Jade chuckled, and stepped closer, "or what?" now she was just daring Cat.

"Give me my giraffe" Cat repeated, Jade laughed, "You're too old to be playing with cuddly toys Cat, grow up" Jade was clearly really angry that they were delayed starting their trip, unfortunately, she was venting out all her frustration on Cat.

"I'll say this once more, give me my giraffe" Jade laughed more, "so you're ordering me now Cat?" "give me my giraffe" Cat's eye's darkened, it was like her emotion had left her, something else was taking over.

Jade stepped closer, now she was right in Cat's face, literally if either girl moved any closer they'd end up kissing.

"No" Jade whispered, this was the final straw, Cat lost it, Cat finally hit the point of no return.

She clenched her fist tight and swung, catching Jade, both by surprise, and in her cheek.

Cat swung again, hitting Jade in the same place, she then stomped the back of Jade's knee making her kneel.

Cat had absolutely no emotion at all, it was like someone else was taking over, making her do this.

"Give me my giraffe" Cat demanded, snatching the giraffe from Jade.

She clenched her fist one last time and swung again, this time catching Jade in the nose, leaving her on her back, looking up at the sky.

"I'm going home" and with that Cat left

Beck, Tori, Andre, and Robbie, all stood there, jaws hanging.

No one could believe what they had just seen

*End Flashback*

"So are we ready to go?" Beck asked leaning in the door of his RV, they were going camping, but this time Cat wanted to go, this time Cat made sure she would go, she remembered Tori's words the last time.

Since that incident with Jade a year ago, the two grew apart, Jade didn't really hang around with them anymore, she wasn't here tonight either.

Since then Cat always tried to keep a lid on her emotions, her anger, she didn't like what she became that night, she was determined to never let it happen again, but it was always within, every now and again Cat would be pushed, anger would build inside, but she would do everything in her power to calm herself down.

A little while later, they had reached their campsite, it was a clearing, a large circle, surrounded by trees, apart from the path they had taken to get here.

Night had fallen, the tents were set up, and Beck and Andre had built a fire, but it wasn't lit yet.

Tori and Robbie were both sitting in chairs near the pile of wood, waiting for someone to light the fire, it was getting cold.

"Andre, Beck, you gonna light the fire?" Cat asked standing next to them, the two were worn out, slouched back in chairs of their own.

"I'm beat, you light it Red" Andre moaned, tossing her the box of matches.

Cat had never even held a match before, she hated fire, she always associated fire with pain, death, anger.

But she didn't want to show her fear.

"Come on Cat I'm freezing, light the fire" Robbie yelled, Cat hated being shouted at, it was an easy way to get her angry, she could feel the rage, when she was scared, she became angry easily.

She could feel her emotion taking over, she was going to snap, she opened the box and pulled a match out, Andre scrunched up a bit of paper into a ball and handed it to her, "light this and throw it on the pile, the rest will follow"

Cat held her breath as she struck the match, but that's when everything changed.

As the flame grew, Cat was entranced, drawn to the burning glow.

Holding it close to the paper, seeing that be consumed by the flame, Cat seemed to like it.

She always thought of fire and anger as one and the same, maybe fire was Cat's way to vent her anger?

She watched closely as the ball of fire was thrown into the pile, and slowly the flame grew bigger, the crackling was like soothing music to Cat.

She stood only a few feet from the blaze, which was by now burning higher than her head, her eye's twinkled against the flame.

It was like all her rage was leaving her body

Almost as if she was channelling it through the fire

It was like her anger inside and the fire were connected.

Cat liked it.
