Hey everyone, I am hoping you liked chapter 1 and I am very sorry for all of the grammar mistakes. I'll try not to make too many in this chapter... Hehe... And thank you to the ones who reviewed on the story. Keep the reviews coming; I like reading them and love the feedback :) But anyways, on with the story.

Chapter 2
Catherine's POV
Faster!
Run faster!
I can't. My body can't take much more of this. My legs are in pain with how much running I am doing just to get away. I need to rest, but I know if I do, they'll catch me and do horrible things to me. I have to keep going, even if my body doesn't want to. My breathing is heavy from sucking in air to fast. I know if I don't get control of it, I might just pass out and that couldn't happen... Not now anyways.
"Find her!.."
"Don't let her escape!... We can't afford her to get away!..."
I can hear them shouting at one another and it scares me at how close they are to catching up to me. Everyone from the lab is probably coming for me. Looking back over my shoulder for a split second, I take a wrong step and slipped on a muddy patch on the ground. I gave a loud scream, landing on the ground with a thud and being covered by mud in the process.
I quickly get to my feet, slipping around a few times trying to get my balance. When I finally did, I didn't realize something was behind me until I heard a gun go off. I couldn't move fast enough and the bullet grazed my shoulder, causing me to groan loudly and fall against a near by tree. I grip the gun that's in my hand and just start randomly firing. Hearing a low grunt, I must have hit him perfectly but I didn't stay to find out. I held tightly on to the gun and started to run again.
After what seemed like hours of running the rain had finally stopped for the time being, I finally made it to the edge of the woods and onto flat ground. My shoulder is bleeding and I can barely stand on my own two feet. My breathing was heavy and I feel like I could pass out at any minute. As I stood there in the dead of night, I couldn't hear anything… No yelling or screaming. I couldn't even hear the dogs that were once barking… It was completely quiet out.
I gave a small sigh and sank to my knees because of the pain in my shoulder and legs. Dropping the gun beside me, I decided to lie down on the ground and catch my breath for a few seconds. I looked around to see where I was at and that's when I saw it. I saw light up ahead of me and knew that someone was probably there and could help me out.
'But what if it's the group of people that are after you?' The voice in my head said.
I covered my face with my hands, sighing heavily and started to cry. It could be them and I would just walk into their trap. But if it's not then I would die out here alone. Wiping the tears from my eyes and some of the now dried mud on my face, I stood up and made my decisions. Forgetting about the gun on the ground, I walked ahead and made my way towards the lights. The closer I got to the lights, the more I got worried that I wouldn't make it out alive. When I got right up to it, it amazed me that the lights weren't a town at all, but a large mansion.
'Maybe someone lives here and will help you out.' The voice in my head came back again.
'Maybe, but there's only one way to find out is to go check for myself, right?' I think back and walked to the front of the stairs leading up to the big wooden doors of the estate. This mansion was huge, even bigger than the lab. I started to make my way up the stairs slowly, until I heard gun fire in the back ground. Now that really scared me, so I high tailed it up to the front door as fast as my legs could take me. The yelling and screaming of voices started up again the closer I got to the door. Once I reached it, I looked behind me and brought my hand up towards the door and started pounding on it as hard as I could with whatever strength I had left stored in my body. I started to get worried that no one was home or something and kept looking behind me every so often making sure that they wouldn't sneak up behind me. My shoulder hadn't stopped bleeding yet and my vision was starting to get blurry.
'Come on… Come on…' I thought to myself as I kept on with the pounding on the door. Then I started to cry heavily. 'Please... Someone… Help me...' I started to slide down the door I was not leaning on and was about to give up on trying to get help. But then I saw a light come towards the window beside the door then the door opened up. I looked up at the person who had opened the door. He was a man in all black, bright red eyes and now my savior.
He just looked down at me and stared. "Miss… Are you alright?"
I looked back at him, getting up from where I had fallen but I wasn't steady on my feet and fell again. This time though I was falling forward. I thought I was going to land fast first, but before that could happen, the man at the door caught me in his arms. My eyes caught his while he was looking at me and there…in those red eyes of his…was a small glint of what looked like protectiveness or something, but I couldn't figure it out. And at that moment I didn't really care.
"Help… Me…" I said in a whisper, gripping his arms tightly for dear life. Behind me I heard gun shots again and dogs barking. I jumped at the noises and started to scream, trying to get farther into the mansion. I started clawing at his arms and yelling. "Don't let them take me away! I can't go back! I don't want to be hurt anymore!" Tears started to go down my face.
"Okay… Okay." He picked me up bridal style and brought me into the mansion with him, closing the door behind him. I tighten my arms around his neck while I laid my head down on his shoulder; my body was shaking from the trauma that had happened to me. But somehow I knew that I would be safe here. He walked me up the grand stair case and down a hallway. We passed doors as we went but he then stopped at one and opened it wide. He walked us in and over to one of the biggest beds that I have ever seen. He laid me down in the middle of the bed after moving the blankets then recovered me up. Has he was getting ready to leave, I grabbed onto his hand not wanting him to leave me alone.
"Please… Don't leave." I whispered, gripping onto his hand tighter. "I don't want to be left alone."
He gave a small smile, walking over to a chair by the window after closing the room door and sat down. "I'll stay until you fall sleep. Rest now and sleep. Tomorrow I would like to know what happened."
I gave him a nod and rolled on my side, facing him. What I didn't know what that the wound on my shoulder had already started to hell itself. I gave him one last look and decided that it would be alright to sleep, so I closed my eyes and slept.
This chapter took me a while to think of what to write, but I think I did pretty well. Next chapter will be in Sebastian's point of view. Please review telling me what you thought about this chapter.
