**I DO NOT OWN THIS SHOW OR THE CHARACTERS IN THE SHOW, I AM JUST BORROWING THEM**

-Unknown Location-

Catherine wakes to the sound of dripping water. The smell of dust. It is cold and dark. As she tries to move to find her surroundings, she notices a chain connected from her ankle to the floor and begins to panic. She hears footsteps closing in on her, but can't see who it is. The darkness began to turn into light the closer the footsteps came. She notices two figures, but can't make them out. Her heart begins to race, not knowing what these people had planned as her fate. Then one of the figures began to speak. "How's your head?"

She became familiar with this voice. She was sure she heard it from somewhere. Not being able to place a face with the voice she asked, "Who are you?"

"My name is Agent Kyle Morgan. You may not remember me, but I remember you. You sabotaged my plans to make life on the streets of New York safe." the man said. Then he walked closer to Catherine and continued, "Sam here is a dear friend of mine and we have been working together for quite a while now."

Catherine still had no clue who stood in front of her. "Show yourself!" she exclaimed. She gasped when he walked into the light as he said, "Remember me now?" It was the agent that worked for Murifield that killed Evan. Catherine's vision became foggy, her mouth was dry. She began feeling weak and asked, "What's happening to me?"

Sam stepped out of the shadows and said, "I bet you would like a drink right about now. Your starting to feel dehydrated, am I correct?"

"Yes."

Sam sits a bottle of water down in front of her. "Here. Take it."

Catherine goes to grab the water, being jerked back by the chain that had imprisoned her. Sam let out a laugh then said, "You now belong to me. I didn't expect to make use out of a female beast, but you are quite the fighter. Your strong to be a woman."

"Beast?!" asked Catherine in a growl. Her eyes turned to a purple color then directed towards Sam. He laughed then looked at the agent. "She's going to be a feisty one." Sam then looked back over towards Catherine and said, "I am pretty sure Vincent is tracking you right about now."

"If you lay one finger on him I will kill you!" she exclaimed.

Sam let out another laugh saying, "Your not going to kill me. Your going to kill Vincent. And you can't say no. Why? Because I am in control. You will do everything I tell you to do. And the fun part is your beast side has to listen to me. Its all a part of the new serum I made."

Catherine's eyes went back to normal. Her head dropped as she began to cry. She couldn't breathe with the thought of killing the love of her life.

-House Boat-

Vincent had a hard time focusing on tracking where Catherine was. He was torn apart by the thought that she was took and could possibly be dead. His eyes were swollen from crying so much. He needed to snap out of it and focus. JT and Tess had rushed through the door to find a distressed Vincent.

"Hey we came as soon as we got your call. Found anything yet?" said a winded JT.

"Yeah, I told Heather that Catherine went out of town on a case and that I was headed out to meet her so she wouldn't worry. What happened exactly anyways?" asked a concerned Tess.

Vincent teared up, running his hands through his hair. He took a big sigh then began telling Tess and JT the events leading to Catherine's abduction, "Everything was going so perfect, you know? I woke up and she was still asleep. I went to buy us breakfast and coffee, then returned to her being gone. I found this note…" now handing the note to Tess then continued, "…how could I have let my guard down knowing that psycho was still out there? I left her here in danger and I wasn't here to protect her. Now if something happens to her, it's all my fault."

"Don't beat yourself up, big guy. We will find her. She will be fine." claimed JT.

"Beat myself up? You think I'm beating myself up? I'm not beating myself up, JT I'm dying a slow, painful death inside. I can't even track her because my mind is so cramped of the 'what-ifs'. I have to find her JT…I'm goi…."

JT slung a cup of cold water into Vincent's face. "Is your mind clear now?" asked JT.

Vincent was pissed, yet so relieved because it had helped him to calm down and begin to focus on finding Catherine. He closed his eyes briefly, then snapped them open. He saw Catherine running up the stairs then being pushed into the wall. He saw Sam hit her in the head with her gun. He watched Sam carry her lifeless body out of the House Boat, and place her into his car. Vincent began following , and JT and Tess following behind him. Vincent saw a man get into the car from a nearby street. He couldn't make out the mans face. They continued walking towards an old cemetery. Vincent watched as the men exited the vehicle, Sam grabbing Catherine to take her inside a crypt. Vincent snapped back into reality, turned behind him, and said, "She's here."

"Wait, here? As in…in the cemetery?" asked Tess.

"Yes. She's in that crypt over there. Let's go."

-The Crypt-

Catherine jumped in fear when she heard the screams of the two men from the other side of the crypt. She felt herself beginning to change and then it hit her….Vincent! She tried fighting off the demon inside her, but it was no match for her. She heard Vincent calling out her name, and the sound of multiple footsteps running through the crypt.

"Catherine!..." screamed Vincent. "Come on, where are you?" he said out loud to himself. Then suddenly he turned around to the sound of a chain snapping.

Catherine, still fighting with her new beastly self, looked for a way out. She didn't want Vincent to see her as she was. She couldn't let him get anywhere near her for what her inner beast had planned to do to him. Her eyes glared a bright purple when she heard Vincent from behind her.

"Catherine! Thank God your alright!..." said Vincent as he walked fast towards her not realizing what had happened to her. He went to turn her to face him, but jumped back, taking his beast form, by the touch of her.

"Catherine?" said Vincent as she turned to face him, her eyes still glowing. She looked behind him to see Tess and JT in shock, then back towards Vincent.

"Oh my God! What have they done to you?" said Vincent as he put his hands up to her face.

Catherine shoved Vincent into the wall, letting out a roar. Then she went after him to kick him in his side.

Vincent screamed out to her, "Catherine it's me! Vincent! Stop it!"

She picked him up off of the ground. Swinging at him, as he countered it. As she kept trying to kick, and hit him, he kept saying things to try to snap her out of it. He didn't want to hurt her, but he was going to restrain her til she calmed down.

"Catherine! What are you doing?!.."

No response.

"We're together! Come on…snap out of it!"

Still, no response.

She then grabbed Vincent by the throat, slamming him into the wall. She held him there squeezing the life out of him, then she began to see flashes of them together. She began to gain control over her beast. Then screamed out, "NO!" in a roar. Her grip around Vincent's neck began to loosen up. She backed up from him slightly and said, "Vincent?" now falling into his arms.

"JT, I need you to go find Sam's car keys. We need to get her to a hospital and fast!" shouted Vincent as he picked her up carrying her through the crypt to reach the exit.

JT and Tess searched both bodies hurridly. "Got 'em!" shouted Tess, as they rushed to the car.

-Car Ride-

They all rushed out of the cemetery and headed towards the hospital. Vincent sat in the back of the car holding Catherine in his lap. He began to stroke her hair, tears falling down his face. Then he stopped suddenly to notice that Catherine was beginning to wake up. As her eyes opened her vision was blurred. She blinked a couple of times then looked at Vincent. He smiled as he told her, "It's going to be okay. Your safe now. I'm not going anywhere."

Catherine reached her left hand up to Vincent's face, strumming her thumb under his eye where he had been crying.

"Vincent." she whispered.

"What is it baby?" he asked.

She smiled at Vincent then said, "I'm sorry if I hurt you."

"Don't apologize Catherine. It's fine. I'm okay."

Catherine could feel her body turning cold. She knew she was dying as her life slowly slipped away.

"I love you, Vincent."

"I love you too, Catherine. And I'll never leave you by yourself again. I'm so sorry I wasn't there to protect you."

Catherine pulled his head down to hers giving him a kiss. She then looked at him, eyes locked with his. Her breathing was now slowing down and Vincent could hear her heart beat begin to fade.

"JT you need to hurry! She's dying!" shouted Vincent.

-Hospital-

As JT pulled into the parking lot of the hospital, Catherine's hand slipped away from Vincent's face, falling into the floor of the car. Her heart beat was still faded so he jumped out of the car, grabbing Catherine's body and rushing her inside the hospital.

Vincent shouted, "I need help! Somebody please! She needs a Doctor! She's dying!"

Nurses rushed to his aid following Dr. Marcus. Vincent placed her body on the hospital bed they brought out and fell to his knees, his face falling into his hands as they took her away. Will they be able to save Catherine? Vincent thought to himself. JT and Tess ran up behind Vincent. Vincent stood and turned towards them.

"JT I need you to make that serum you made before that saved that one kid. I think that's what is killing Catherine. But I don't understand how….she turned beast…why is it killing her?" Vincent said, then he remembered what Sam had put in the note…New serum!

"Sam made a new beast serum, and I think it was made as a temporary change, then to self-destruct the body after coming out of the change. JT you think you can make the serum to fix this? Please man, I can't lose her. I can't live without her."

"I'm not making promises, but I will get on that now." said JT as he rushed out of the hospital.
