Disclaimer: Do not own them

After burning Catherine more then a dozen times with his cigarette Paul turned to Gil and stared at him.

"You hate me don't you" Paul asked taunting Gil as much as possible.

Gil kept his eyes locked on Catherine and ignored Paul

"Answer me" Paul snapped and stood up quickly " I asked you a question"

Gil glared at the man who was now inches from his face " well? Do you?"

When Gil refused to answer Paul pulled walked over to a small table and retrieved a small switchblade.

Walking back over to Gil Paul waved the knife in front of his face. "I know you know how dangerous I am. And I am having a hard time trying to figure out why you have to be so defiant when the life of this beautiful, incredibly amazing women" he pointed at Catherine " is at risk"

Gil opened his mouth to speak " I'm.." but Paul silenced him with a fist in the stomach.

Gil's upper body keeled over as far as he could go as he tried desperately to catch his breath.

Paul just laughed and walked over to Catherine and began to untie the ropes from around her wrists.

Not knowing what he had in store for her Catherine began to panic.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

Paul looked her in the eye and showed no remorse " relax, I thought you might be sick to death of looking at your boyfriends grumpy face, I thought we could go to another part of the home and have some alone time."

Catherine's shook her head " no, I want to stay here.. Please" she pleaded.

Paul pulled her up causing her to wince in pain," what?" he asked " does your ankle still hurt?"

Paul shook his head "fine" he pushed her back down and walked over to a small cabinet and retrieved a brown bandage.

"Lift up your leg" he whispered

Catherine just glared at him. 'Why" she thought 'after all he has done to me why is he helping me'

Catherine did not like this one bit and refused his services

"Come on" Paul said grabbing her leg " you said it hurt"

Catherine pulled her leg away from his grasp and backed away form him " I don't need your help," she snapped knowing there was a chance of making him angry

"Fine" Paul paused "FINE" he yelled and threw the bandage at her " suffer then" Paul reached forward and grabbed her again " let's go"

Catherine screamed and kicked her feet at him " no" she begged, " Please, I don't want to go with you"

Paul pulled her up onto her feet and she collapsed at the point of pressure on her foot, but Paul did not care " GET UP" he screamed grabbing her by the hair.

Catherine brought her hands up and scratched and swung at his face " NO.. PLEASE" she screamed

Catherine knew if she went with him she might not see Gil again and she was terrified but she kept fighting.

Paul had had enough and punched her in the face. Catherine fell back grasping her face as blood streamed from her nose. Paul then grabbed her feet and some rope and again tied her up.

Paul picked her up and threw her over his shoulder. Catherine kept hitting him with her hands but it did not seem to hurt him.

Gil struggled harder then he had ever before. "Paul" he yelled after them " Catherine, I m sorry"

Catherine was overwhelmed with emotion; fear, anger, and hatred were only a few things she was feeling as Paul carried her out of the room and away from Gil.

"GIL" she screamed as she tried to break free "GIL" Catherine grabbed the sides of the door frame and held on tight " NO" she screamed again as Paul began jerking her body " NO"

Paul pulled once more and Catherine lost her grip. "NO…GIL!" she screamed as her fingernails left scratch marks across the wall

Gil struggled in the room but it only made him self weak " Catherine" he screamed to her " Catherine"

For a second the screaming had stopped and Gil let out a sigh f relief, but terror struck again when the screaming continued and then there was a loud bang.

Gil stopped struggling and listened. 'What was that' he thought ' it sounded like a gun shot' Gil called out to them " Catherine?"

No answer

He called again " Catherine?"

Catherine lay on the floor as Paul stood over her " next time I will shoot you" he snapped.

Paul bent down and pulled her up " you are something special" he whispered, " out of all the women I have had, you are different, and I almost want to keep you"

"Keep me?" Catherine questioned as Paul threw her back down

"Yeah, I mean Gil has to go, but you, I think I want you, I want you to myself. I could settle down, we could be happy"

Catherine shook her head " I'd rather die"

Paul bent down " Well sweetheart, I will have to think about that, but for now I am going to visit your friend"

Catherine closed her eyes " please don't hurt him" there was a small pause " I'll stay" she whispered " I will stay here with you just don't hurt him he has to take care of my little girl"

Paul paused " you love him a lot don't you?"

Catherine shook her head yes

"That's to bad" Paul smirked " because I have already decide that you will be staying with me and he will die"

Paul walked out of the room and slammed the door shut.
