Hi! This is my first fanfic ever, so bear with me. I really hope you like it, and leave a review if you like. This chapter is kinda short, but they get longer :] enjoy!

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN VICTORIOUS OR ANYTHING RELATED TO IT, THOUGH I WISH I DID.

Where's Cat? She's been gone for hours. I can't stand being stuck in this RV for much longer. I'm gonna go crazy.

It's dark now. Must be after eleven. Where could Cat be? I hope she's alright. Everyone but me is asleep. I can't stop worrying. At least it's not as hot in this rolling oven anymore.

I decide to try one more time if I can get the door to open. Grabbing onto the handle, brace myself, and push as hard as I can. I fly forward and tumble out the door. Nothing was blocking it. Brushing myself off and sighing with relief, I start to look for Cat.

"Cat! Caaaat! Where are you?" I yell to the darkness. I start walking down the boardwalk, quickly peeking into every back alley as I pass them.

"Hello, my pretty." I jump back. A decrepit man stumbles out of a medical marijuana store. He thrusts his hand out to me. "You want some?"

"What the hell? Get away from me!" I push him away and run, not stopping until he's just a speck in the darkness.

"Cat! Please. Where are you?" I turn a corner and glance into an alleyway, and there, lying in a heap on the ground, is Cat.

"Oh my God," I whisper. "No. Cat!" I run over to her unmoving body, slumped against the wall. "Cat!" I shake her shoulders. "No no no no no! Wake up!" She stirs, and my eyes light up. "Cat… come on…" She grimaces, then opens her eyes. I stare into them, and see a tear drip down her face. "Oh my God, Cat. Thank God you're okay." I pull her close to me, rocking back and forth slightly, letting her cry silently into my shoulder. "It's alright, baby girl. I'm here."

Deciding that I'd better wait before asking why I found her where I did, I gently lift her up like a small child, and carry her back to the RV. I laid her down in the cramped backseat of the truck, and started it up. I pull out of the driveway and head to my house, where I'll have Cat stay for the night. Her parents would freak if they saw her in this state, so it'd be best to just tell them she'd decided to spend the night.

I look over my shoulder at the tiny girl. She's so beautiful. Tears were dried on her cheeks, and she appeared to be sleeping. Maybe she had fallen asleep in the alley? Wait, why would she even go in an alley like that? Maybe she had gotten drunk and passed out or something.

But then I noticed her clothes… they were dirty and didn't seem to be on correctly…

I pulled into my driveway and got out of the truck. Beck can drive the others home when they wake up. I pull Cat out of the backseat, holding her close to me, feeling the slight warmth emanating from her body.

My parents were on a cruise in the Bahamas, so they wouldn't notice us coming in so late. Not that they would care, anyway.

I carry the still sleeping Cat inside and up the stairs, then place her on my bed. I go over to my dresser and pull out a pair of pajama pants so she can at least feel a bit cleaner. Lifting her slightly from the comforter, I pull down her shorts. She stirs a bit, but doesn't wake. And then I see it. The top of her inner thighs are speckled with a dry, red liquid. I put my hand over my mouth
