Hello everyone. This is my second attempt at a fanfic and it's a G/S relationship and unfortunately Catherine's the one with a problem in this one. (Just so you know it's a problem from the past coming back to the future!) However there's another relationship in this one which; might interest a few people out there! Please review and feedback would be great good or bad. Here goes chapter one of this new story..

Her footsteps echoed in the back street alley. It was deserted and dimly lit and although she couldn't hear of see anyone around her she felt a presence. Something wasn't quite right. She decided to pick up the pace a little, just to make sure, or rather just to make sure she didn't freak out. It was a cold night and she pulled her thin jacket snugly round her thin body, trying to secure any heat into the coat.

She heard it. She knew exactly what it was. She'd heard the footstep, it was unmistakable. Someone was following her, or at least that's what it felt like. She'd chastised herself silently for not taking her car into work, the thought hadn't occurred to her this morning since she didn't live that far away. Usually the walk didn't bother her but now the eerie creeping shadows in the dark alleyway looked more frightening than harmless. She heard another few footsteps and decided to pick up the pace of her own footsteps even further, her 3 inch heels were difficult to walk in at the best of times never mind jog in.

She was nearly onto the main street again. She could see the bright lights of the city ahead, beckoning to her. She breathed a sigh of relief; that was until she heard the footsteps getting louder which inevitably meant they were getting closer. Her breath became rapid and the thoughts of her daughter laying in bed at home, waiting for her mother to wake her up in the early morning flooded into her mind. She shook her head, getting rid of the thoughts that clouded her judgement right now and kept jogging, faster and faster until she eventually broke into a run.

Too afraid to turn back and see her follower she kept her eyes in front, focusing on the stark yellow lighting of the main street ahead. The footsteps were gaining and gaining on her and she knew soon that her follower would have caught up with her. She tried in vain to gain more speed but by now she was getting desperate, and her feet couldn't move any faster with the fright. Her breathing became strained and her chest started to burn with the lack of oxygen. She knew she couldn't stop, the footsteps were nearly upon her now but she just couldn't breathe.

She silently motivated herself to try and keep running; she was nearly there only a few more steps. She felt the presence of her follower clearly behind her and her fears came true when they put a hand firmly onto her shoulder. She tried to scream but her mouth opened to produce nothing. The follower was breathing hard behind her and they spun her round to face them. She closed her eyes in an attempt to protect herself and then.

It's only a little cliffhanger so it's not that bad eh? It's only a short chapter because it's only a taster to see if you like it. Please r & r and feedback would be greatly appreciated. (I'll give you one big clue: - the stories not about this first chapter it's just a good place to start!) Until next time =) XX
