Gone

Cat's POV

I was 12 weeks along, slightly starting to show.

Life was looking up. Beck was back with us, and Ellie was having the time of her life getting to know her "daddy" better.

You would often see them curled up on the couch watching princess movies and then falling asleep with bits of chocolate littering their mouths.

Today Beck and I had commissioned Jade to babysit Ellie while we went out Birthday shopping. Her fifth birthday was in a week and we needed something really special.

Fifteen toy shops later, Beck and I found the perfect gift. Big enough so that Beck and two shop assistants had to carry it to the truck for delivery.

"I hope she likes it..." Beck murmured as he watched the guys load it, wrapping a protective arm around my waist. "She'll love it."

"I have an idea, why doesn't Ellie sleep over at her godparents' house tonight? I need some alone time with my favorite redhead." I shivered at the thought and smiled. "Hmmm, I'd enjoy that Mr. Oliver."

We pulled into the driveway and I felt something was wrong. The house was too quiet... Ellie normally made a lot of noise when Jade was with her.

"Something's wrong." I whispered to Beck as we made our way up the porch. "What do you mean?"

"Ellie normally makes noise when Jade babysits... Its too quiet."

"Relax! They probably fell asleep or something." Beck consoled, holding the door open for me. I stepped in, "Ellie, baby? Jade?"

No answer. I decided to check the rooms. The guest bedroom was empty, as was ours and the study. Ellie's door was standing slightly ajar and I could smell something strange.

I ran forward, flung the door open and gasped. Jade was laying on the floor bleeding and gasping for air.

"Oh my god! Jade! Beck call an ambulance!" I screamed, plummeting down beside her and staring into her half open eyes. "Jade, look at me. I'm here, where's Ellie?"

"They took her" She breathed weakly, "Tori. Daniel"

"They took her? Why!" I cried, getting up and yanking my phone out. Beck came running up the stairs with his phone to his ear, "Hi, yeah. I need an ambulance! My friend has been stabbed and she's bleeding a lot!"

"Daniel! Dammit, answer your phone! I want her back or I swear, I will hunt you down and kill you myself!" I growled into the receiver, sending the phone flying across the room, bending down to help Jade.

"Jade, honey, stay with me. The ambulance is on its way... They're gonna help you." I turned to Beck, "Call the cops too, Daniel and Tori took Elliana."

"What!" Beck blanched, going from pale to crimson to blue to purple in a matter of seconds. He dashed down stairs and I could hear him yelling over the phone.

"I'm sorry." Jade's weak voice came from my lap. I shushed her, "Its not your fault, its okay. We'll find her."

"We will find her!" I swore to myself.

As Jade was loaded into the van, Beck and I were talking to a grim looking officer. "And we found her like that. She said that she knew who took her." Beck was taking command, he was determend to find our baby girl.

"Who are these alleged kidnappers?" Officer Saunders asked. "Victoria Vega and Daniel Zott"

"Thank you. Do you have photo's? We have to identify them."

"Uh, sure." Beck dug a photo out of his wallet and handed it to Saunders. The man nodded, "I'll get on that then."

I watched as my only hope left in a flash of blue and red lights, and turned to Beck, burying my face in his shoulder. "They'll find her, right?"

"I promise you, Cat! I'll do everything in my power to find her." Beck said hoarsely into my hair.

Its been three days, I can't take it anymore. The house is too silent without her. I've been avoiding her room like the black plague...

They'd delivered the doll house yesterday and assembled it in the back yard. I cried three straight hours before screaming at Beck and running out into the rain.

"Cat, babe, you want some hot chocolate?" Beck asked, breaking my reverie. I stared at him, not being able to form words so I just nodded.

I listened as the kettle boiled and Beck prepared the cocoa, remembering the morning of her second birthday.

"Here you go." Beck handed me a cup and I smiled weakly. "Thanks."

Tori's POV

"Aunt Tori, when can I go home?" Elliana asked, looking up from her drawing. Daniel laughed callously and flicked the little girl with a peanut.

"Stop it!" I snapped, punching his arm. "Don't hurt her!"

"Oh, who's being the protective aunt?" Daniel taunted, wagging his brows suggestively.

"No, I just don't want to hurt her, okay!" I growled.

Cat's POV

I was sitting in her doll house, clutching a sweater that smelled strongly of my perfume, Beck's cologne and her apple scented marker.

I could feel her sitting next to me, legs swinging back and forth as she giggled and told me about her school day.

"And the' Timothy stole Katie's lollipop and threw it over the wall! He was being mean, I don't like mean people. Danny's is mean, mommy."

"I know, baby." I said, patting her head softly. "I don't like it here... He's being mean to me and hurting me."

This was new... "What do you mean hurting you?" I swear if he lays a finger on her...

"He doesn't hurt me badly, he just says mean things about you and daddy and throws me with peanuts."

"Peanuts? Honey, where are you?" I asked, turning to face her fully. "I don't know..." She admitted. "I'm sleeping, we were in a car."

"What car? Baby, talk to-" she was gone, disappearing out of my head just like that. I opened my eyes slowly and saw Beck standing in the doorway, looking at me curiously.

"They're in a car, I can feel it." I murmured, looking at him through my lashes. He came over to me and hugged me tight, whispering soothingly. I started crying again, quietly into his chest as the memory of my angel cut through my soul.

Tori's POV

"Gimme the giraffe!" Daniel snapped at Elliana, tugging the plush toy away from her little hands. Tears built up in her eyes and overflowed as she watched him stuff the thing into a bag.

"Where are we going Aunt Tori?" The little girl sniffed, rubbing her eyes to get rid of the tears. I sighed and turned to look at her, gently placing a finger over my mouth to signal silence and taking her hand to keep her from getting lost in the crowd.

We were in the airport, and there were lots of cops, so we needed to get out without attracting too much attention.

Daniel was tugging our suitcases behind us, groaning in exertion. "What did you pack, Vega?"

"Shut it, you prick!" I snapped and then looked down at Elliana apologetically.

"Excuse me, ma'am, could you please come with me?" Someone behind me asked. I turned around and saw that two officers had restrained Daniel and were staring intently at Elliana.

I could feel my heart pumping sporadically in my chest and my mouth dry up. "Ma'am, please let go of the little girl."

I looked at Elliana and realized that she was crying because I was clutching her hand tightly. I let go instantly and felt myself being tugged away from her, raising my hands in surrender.

Cat's POV

"Mommy! Daddy!" She came running up the stairs with her arms stretched out. I scrambled to get through the crowd of people.

"Baby!" He shot upwards as a small bundle of brown hair and pink dress tackled him in the stomach. "Daddy" its the first time she's called him that since she found out..

"I love you" Came the tiny voice, she was curled up on her father's chest, sobbing softly.

"Ellie! Oh my baby!" I pulled her close and hugged her tight, kissing every inch of her face. "Mommy, I want Bibble..."

I laughed as Beck pulled us onto his chest. I saw the cops lead Tori and Daniel away. "Wait!" I said jogging to catch up. The paused and turned to me. "There is something I'd like to do before you go" I turned to Daniel and slapped him. Hard. "Burn in hell!" I then turned to tori. "And you! You disgust me" I lifted my hand about to slap her as well, but decided against it and just walked away...
