Vincent remembered he walked through people when he heard someone talking to Catherine's voice. Which it almost sounded staged. Cause he could feel the man wanting to say more, but held back because of something. Or mostly because of a secret, maybe. And then, a third voice was heard.

Àlvarez who sounded too much under the alert under Medina's interrogating self as he stood behind the room as he listened. Quietly as he had been taught and trained himself when he first into a beast.

But when the lead voice had vanished away after he spoke out his name, saying he would reconsider invastigating him, it did shake him a bit. The fact he had been with Cat throughtout the entire start and before she did taken the undercover co-operation. Not as much did it hurt when he had seen her kiss this monster. This human being of a monster..Vincent felt his blood getting boiled up through his veins. Or more like the beast wanted to make a scene here. And how much it hurted and hurted him to be the one to see that. Despite feeling luckily she hadn't wored that stupid necklace here. He had known he made a freaking promise to Angela, a woman who was once Alex's best friend from before, that he would gladly take an blood test to make sure the purplish spots onto his back wasn't sarcosicoma signs unless if it had been an advanced HIV diagnosis.

The only thing that she hadn't known, it that it could also be an dangerous poison that the attacks immune system. Beasts's immune systems.

However, neither of those dangerous poisons could come up close onto breaking a heart. Dying of a broken heart seemed to be a better death sentance. No. Not now. He needed to save her, first.

Save Catherine, before letting the sickness taking over.

Let her know that I deeply love her. Even if I may have to die.

But crap, did his own heart broke when he watched her move towards him, and close to bring up his hand and grasp his chest with pain. How he almost held onto the pain.A broken heart, as they often say.

"Vincent?"

"Yeah..?" Say anything! But he just couldn't. Because he wasn't strong to say anything. But still he stood there. He had seen everything.

"Are you okay?" What a dumb question, when he felt like dying here. But Catherine demanded to know when her green orbs had come up to meet his brown orbs, the ones who tried to hide the pain.

"Yeah. I'm fine.." Only he wasn't. You aren't. May never well be.

...

He woke up with a startling gasp throughtout his mouth. How close his heart was bounding like a crazy machine ready to stop in any minute.

Dangerously, as his eyes turned out to be yellow for the very first time in his life. Ever since thirty years ago.

He clutchered his naked and sculptured and scarred chest with pain when he bursted out of bed after he took a nap. Not much of a nap, but more like a slept over with a paid up whore to relieve his fantasies, when his own partner of the law had tried and unessecessfully tried to contact him when he hid himself away with a slut to an hotel room for the afternoon. But the pain was unbarable. Damn. Damn.

How it hurted. His eyes wanted to show its true colors, after hiding them so long. Amber eyes wanted to burst out their fury.

The pain of rejection. He felt it. Felt it. The beast had wanted to burst out and had been out of control, ever since this liver transplant was slowly about to give out of his body. And to which it had been the only way for him to not beast out.

And much of his own heart had been. This dead bitch's own heart, beating though his veins and blood was starting to reject him. Lowan's ex and dead girlfriend had paid him with revenge. That dead bitch. Tyler Stevenson. Gretchen Hermandez, the one with the liver issue was slowly rejecting him. Dead and was laughing at him. Alicia and Helga had been as well, but as when he wanted to have their organs out, a small problem had occured.

Two of them were different. They were beasts. And he couldn't or wanted to have organ coming from a dead beast. And from the ones he killed and hid their bodies underground, until cops had started to swept it around their noses. But if they started to dig into their deaths in much more farther this time, Àlvarez and Lina would be persecuted. Including him. For the past murders. Justina as well. For Yalena Sandler's attack and comatose state and Leah Dawson Barnes aka Nadia's dispearence to the unknown.

But not Tori Windsor. The ex-heiress had been a beast before, but had survived an near death sentence. Blood loss, until she received an blood transfusion and a kidney transplant. And to which it left her different. The woman may not be a beast anymore, but there was something else. Psychic visions that was starting to drove her insane about past lives including his own, but it wasn't only that point. She was also pregnant and with that beast and ex-vigilante but so-called hero, Vincent Keller. Risen up from the dead. He didn't needed a test to know about it, he had scent it from her smell. Felt her vulnerable when she and him had bumped up to each other at the coffee restaurant's door.

These frightened green eyes. They've reminded him of those from Alicia's. When she begged him to not kill her or Helga.

"Please, please!" Alicia had begged him as she hid fell down onto the ground."I'll-We'll do anything! Please, don't do this!"

However, it had been too late. He unleashed out his own claws as she had finally awakened the other part of herself while Helga laid down, close to death. He could tell, Alicia did fought him with her magnificent beast out of hand but wasn't much of controlled as he had been when he assasinated her and without any mercy. His claws had crossed through her chest and crushed her heart with rage. But it had been her fault, she did attacked him first. No?

Oh God.

He remembered he hid both of the corpses and had remained silent with Lina's help. Until now. And with that undercover cop who was likedly trying to put Àlvarez under her skin and tricking him, she would make everything worse.

"Honey, something wrong?"

He breathed hard at the voice coming from the slut. He whirled around a peek over his shoulder as the woman with red hair who had exchanged an similiar resemblance to the ex-heiress had been asking as she covered herself with the silk blanket and rose up to meet his eyes. Dark brown eyes. And her eyes green as Windsor's troubled ones. But not as classy as Anna seemed to be. But so much alike. They could pass out to be sisters.

"No. It was just a shaken nightmare." But still. He couldn't helped but to breathe hard still. Not from a shaken nightmare but from the hard thumb the pain made him feel. The heart that was about to give out of his chest. Anna scoffed back with a smirk when she reached out to his cheek with her free hand while the other held the blanket that covered her chest.

"Then, why don't I make it go away by making you feel better, so?" Anna had proposed him back with an offer that no other men would be able to get away. His eyes narrowed with desire as he let himself fall over her body when she pulled him over her as she laid down onto the bed and let her brush his lips with a delicate kiss as her arms surounded him and to which his hands walked around her thighs.

Much like Alicia. When she had tried to seduce him into a threesome with Helga and to where it lead her to last death wish. However, it seemed like Anna didn't minded with whom she was getting involved with as long she was getting paid.

Even if it meant death.

...

"Well, well, look whose is still around here, isn't the old hag in the building.." Lina had winced through the young female voice here when she walked back to the bar. She watched an young woman with dark chocolate waving and loosening curls, bouncing around the club when she came in the club wearing up a tight red skirt that shown up her slender and training legs and high and long dark heels despite the cold winter weather, and dark leathered V-top that shown up her tanned skin despite her pink furry but fake cheap coat. She shore a a golden and long chain with the name that only Lina loathed before when she used to be with Su Li's on club and illegal activities.

Lim Bo-Kyung aka Stephanie for friends had made herself into the building with a few friends as they appeared to be numbered here, much to Lina's shock here. It had been so fast! Virgina hadn't said that Su Li's workers would show up as fast here!

Well, not as much! They were men and women here, and from what the female bodyguard had said; they weren't vaccinated against anything including madness! They were dangerous creatures that even hirred hitmen couldn't stand and fight. Not even Esperanza or Ayaka would be able to fight them off!

"I..Uh.."

"What's wrong, Lina? Can't come up and give your old bestie, a little hugging kiss?" Stephanie had blinked up her long fake and eyelashes under her dark eyes, like an innocent barbie asian woman. And boy, she did liked to provoke trouble here.

"We weren't friends as I recall, Bo-Kyung.."

"Ohh..Don't be a meanie, unnie. Friends now call me, Stephanie in the american way. Like most of my buddies here, as you can see.." The dark haired waved her hands back at the people whom had came here with her as they walked in different and separate ways. Five men and four other women, here taking an each side from left to right. When Stephanie stood in the middle, here like a challenging but daring boss.

"But I don't have much places here-" They were far too many when the dark haired woman had shut her down as if she was the new british queen wannabe.

"Sorry, but that ain't my problem here. I hope I can find a room of my own here and to which I wouldn't probably share with anyone here.."

"But you simply, can't! I have other girls, here and others that had been there for a very longtime-"

"Then kill one of them!" Stephanie had spat out without any hesitation, here which it brought fear through Lina's dark eyes, here. What did Stephanie meant? Hadn't she heard about the night that she walked around the hospital's exteror building? And from whom? She had been discret, unless the cops had figured out about something else?

"What?"

"You've heard me, girl! I've heard how you've treated and had this poor Gretchen girl dead and stuck back up at the hospital-"

"Shut up, or-"

"And put Àlvarez-soon ex in a feaking comatose state, for trying to speak out the truth. And the next came along with my boss's murder, here. Called up by your stupid bitch ass's emotional-"

"Wouldn't you just stop it, Bo-Kyung-"

"Or else, what? Unnie? What? Would I be the next one to get killed? Don't me laugh, here!" The dark haired woman had smirked back at the ex-bartender here. Realizing she had gotten under her weak point here."Virgina and Su Li had already known that you've feed your demon to the girls, and girls who had come along the whole way for a better life. Don't pay back up at me. I know what you've been doing, lately.."

"Hadn't been such a nice dear girl, lately.." Had blabbered back an tall and muscular but lean man with a long mid blond hair and bearded man to the left as he sat down onto a round table, at the left side. Almost with nothing but with a blue leathed jacket and blue jeans with stuffed dark boots as he had been Christ in the past life with his deep iced but troubled blue eyes. Mostly, with ecstasy. Despite the canadian and french accent he had. But Stephanie didn't cared as she waved him off.

"Like Simon had said. You haven't been such a nice lady, Lina. But don't worry, my friends and I would make sure you wouldn't fall into dirty tricks, or else Virgina would simply ask us to pay an favor and to which it wouldn't count onto money."

"But what?" Lina had guessed the worst to come out.

"Let's just say we bite, here. Unlike your precious and porcelain creatures, we don't simply lay there in distress. We fight and kill when somebody is paid to attacks us on a bad action. And boy, do I like to bite and fight, an vicious woman." Stephanie had wrinkled back up her nose and smiled evily back at the lady.

...

"Damn, that sleazy old dog.." Tess had walked back with two freshed cup of coffee and back to her disastious desk where Santiago Medina had been cursing up under his breath since he tried to get contact with his partner. Few moments after the alternacation from Ward and with the assurance coming from Dana Landon.

"Still no answer, from Cheng?" She guessed back as she gave him a one of the cups as he nodded up with a thanks nod.

"The guy is as secret than I've imagined. Tell him to keep a secret, and he would, despite if it comes from a bad guy or not." Medina whirled around to see her walking in."You've informed, Chandler?"

"Couldn't." Tess gave him a firm answer."Àlvarez has her under secret guard by making go through a scan. Just to make sure that nothing goes completely wrong with last night's events."

"From your view or from hers?"

"Mine. But knowing how close Àlvarez has gotten to her, it would be my guess." Tess had followed back up."How long, you think that Cheng hadn't answered you?"

"Mosly after he had been involved with the warehouse issue. The one that kept Keller's friends under protection.I haven't heard him ever since."

"Since you've caught up Lowan and managed to put him into prison. If I remember well." Tess recalled back at his face with a snort.

"Under watch." He did clearified back with a eye watch.

"You do know, he had nothing to do with his ex-girlfriend getting killed. It was Reynolds. Who had killed her. Because she had been into his way back at that night." Tess had resumed the very same story as Cat had told her to do or so. When the other detective here wasn't much impressed by it.

"How would you know?"

"I know. I've read the file and his confession when he was put into prison-"

"By his own daughter, I know and I get it." Medina had interrupted back under her speech."Still. It wasn't much enough for the parents and how to explain that their daughter had decided to side things over a monster. A monster whom she fantasied and loved. Willingty to do everything for him to keep him safe. Even if it means to drop down dead for love." Tess decided to stay put as if she had alreadly heard this sentence more than once. Cat had stated that she'd do anything for Vincent, even if it put her life in danger, but it had been before he had been been kidnapped and brainwashed by his his own enemy, here.

"And from the looks of it, it seemed you had known about it.." Medina followed back at the silence she've decided to stay put.

"Look, Medina, I-"

"You have children, Vargas?" The question had got her off guard here.

"Medina, I-"

"Do you have children, yes or no?"

"No." She shook her head with shame. How would she ever know it?

"Cause I do." He added back with a firm tone through his voice. Which it almost broke him."Then, you wouldn't know the pain or to feel like your own flesh and blood had been brainwashed and killed from the same monster. It doesn't matter if it had been from Reynolds's own killing of hand, but Lowan had been a part of it as well. That's what I've come up to repair here."

"But coming up and sabotage Cat's cover?" Tess had interrupted back here under his glare. "You think that's fair? Even if we are at this close, to found and trap Àlvarez? Like for the attempt and murder of his wife?"

"You're the one who came up and blackmailled me. Remember-"

"Which I would gladly do if you can't keep your mouth shut!" Tess had frustrated followed back as she slammed her desk with anger."I'm not Olivia Benson here, not as an patient or carring as well like an colloborative cop, but I'm willing to defend my partner and to say that she's innocent to any crime. Cause if I see that you're spying onto her background, I'll be exposing you to Ward and I meant it from the last time I've warned you."

"Stay away from Cat's cover, or else, I'll be exposing you to the internal affairs and you might lose your licience for good and have your background checked. One last chance to back off, Santiago Medina." She warned him to back off one last time. and for a second, she thought she heard him scoff as a clicking sound when off through his coat's pocket, for a second. Which made her stop from talking when she realized it from her widened eyes.

Hadn't he been recordering her for the whole fiucking time? And without her noticing it?

"First time, I do see you taking sides with your partner. When before you'd only think about yourself. Your own little person, Vargas. Nobody else.." Medina remarked back looking a bit impressed from her personality.

"I did not-"

"Yes, you did.."

"Well, a few persons had started to finally grow up. I think it been me, lately." It did taken her a little while for her, but ever since Cat had fell and had her heart broken by a beast like Vincent, she did felt like she wanted to protect her friend for now on. And away from exposure.

"Coming from the very last person whom I've heard was screwing up with her own captain, before he got away..Not kidding. It could have costed your badge, Vargas, and you know that.." He followed back over the defiant female detective."But don't worry about your partner, I'll be nice and sweet if I need to ask her a few questions about the events where she had gotten her father arrested for unquestionning circumstances."

...

Tanaka shivered through the texting and picture message with fear. An alerting texting message, or as she should say. Nothing scared her, nothing not even the own air itself. But today, it had been different. She wasn't born as a cold woman. Had been taught to keep a good head onto her shoulders ever since she gotten herself partned up with Ash. A man who had been in hidden after he had been involved onto a threatening situation. A situation that she didn't took too much seriously and lately, she cursed herself from ever having to teased up onto his very serious situation.

"Yo're an cold hearted murderer, people whom you know would know what you've done to your dead child. You've discected dead people, you've killed your own child. Your not a mother, but a murderer. A natural born killer."

She considered herself as a strong woman, always. However, there's a time where her limit reached up to the end of it. Even if the text message and picture was signed up with two letters. C.P. Regan's crazy husband who is still trying to have her killed today. And all of her friends, here. Including Ash's close friend, here. Tanaka. That bastard is just trying to get the best of you, here. Relax, Tanaka!

If so. Then, why was she so scared about? To have her own secret out about her own abortion? A child that she wanted to get rid of? Because she wasn't then ready, at sixteen? And to say that she never said anything about it? Nor to anybody or to her family and friends? And yet, someone she didn't know had details of her secret abortion, here and threatened her to expose these dead babies pictures in blood. No wonder, Ash looked so afraid before he left the police departement. Which Vincent Keller would have done as well if he took his life seriously, here. But not so much anyways. Rumour says that he decided to stick around because of a woman.

Damn, that Cat Chandler. She was a troublemaker. Beautiful and wild which caught many men's attraction throughtout the precinct. She and Tess, were the first female partners to the precinct to work out together and proved that even women of today could make it better than men could have had done in years. It wouldn't be a secret, if the dark cold hearted hero like Keller had fell for her charm and decided and voluteerly wanted to be her own guardian in the night.

"I'm sorry that I've caught up to be late. I've tried to fufill up the rest of my shift back at the hospital. Before, I could run off." A female voice with a thick mediterranean had been heard when it troubled Tanaka with a startled heart beat movement.

"Tina?" She asked as she whirled around to see a woman through her early thirties with short shouldered, brownish and blond hightlened haired woman with a green blouse with sleeves coming inside as she put her the white lab coat through her shoulders.

"Sorry, traffic was a bitch through my guts. Last night, while I had to pick up food, I got a call at hospital to cover up for someone. So I had to stay up late, when Orfeas overworked at the bar, but who says I'm not that innocent? Haha. Good thing he didn't make up an excuse, cause If I was the jealous wife here, he'd be dead by now!" The woman named Tina had chuckled out at her teasing joke.

"I'm sorry to drag you out of your love and hardworking life-" Tanaka blabbered all at once through her words, when the new comer here just shook up her head that wobbled her blond locks up.

"Don't brag this! I'd do anything for a friend, if I was dragued into some serious danger by an maniac man, I'd would make sure that my family and friends stays and remains safe, as well.." Tina walked over to the steel table while Tanaka still looked frightened by her phone text message and to which it did took an remark from her friend to wake her up."What are you still doing here? Get out of here!"

"Yes, yeah-"

"Ask one of the cops to fill you up with another phone, now that yours might be corrupted.." Tina had warned her back as she folded her arms against her chest. Her brown eyes piercing out with concern as she shown to Ash's partner that she've taken anything under control here."And now get out!"

And Tanaka nodded quick enough until she rushed out from the room without any hesitation.

...

"Crap.." Cat blinked back her eyes once she walked inside the club with Vincent who stood silence ever since they walked off from the hospital, a few hours after Àlvarez was satisfied with the scan results.

Feeling as nmuch as new onto her blue jeans and purple sweater along with the coat that Àlvarez had gave her for warmt, Catherine walked back onto the club feeling much like a stranger, a few moments later. Around the tables were other people around. People that she couldn't recognize from the sight.

Just who were these people? Men and women who were staring at her like she was an a new disease coming in through their territory here as if the club had belonged to them, and nobody else. She heard Vincent groan from her back, telling herself that the situation wasn't getting any good here. Trouble was at the rendez-vous.

"You know them?"

"Don't have a single clue. It's the first time, I've seen them. Men and women, all at once." Vincent had also walked inside as he stood close as he looked around the club. Feeling strange as much as she was.

"I have a bad feeling about it.."

"Like?"

"It may be an thing, but I believe these people didn't come up for nothing, here. They smell trouble."

"Damn, right, sweet pie. We're all here because of her, here." Had recalled an blond haired man here as he pointed Cat in defense when he spoken out to the behind that sat next to him. As if she was the bad man here."She's the one who've killed our boss and sent us over here to work for Lina. Or mostly obey anything ordered by her her, here."

"What the hell are you talking about-" Vincent wanted to step back at the smirking man over.

"Don't." Cat had cut him off as she put an arm over him. "Looks like he knows already what's going on, here."

"She killed our boss, that's the thing we did understood from Virgina.." The very same among the crowd had followed up against her defense.

"It was by self defense-"

"Like crap, it was." A woman with dark and long curly hair with a red dress and asian features had added up when she sat up and made her way to Cat with no shame or fear. "Su Li was already pursuaded by the cops once she was sent to go and had been out. It wouldn't be any surprise, if a cop had had the guts to kill her, or so."

"You really think so?"

"Why don't you ask that bitch Lina?" What Lina had to do with it?

"You seriously think she had anything to do with it?" Vincent had taken her defense before she could say anything else. When the dark haired woman before them only scoffed.

"You don't know what she is capable of doing, you know? I've seen her walking around the hospital outside, just a few hours before Gretchen had been been killed, so I would know what she she is capable of doing." Cat tried to not look stunned here."You've heard that she ordered Gretchen' Hermandez's death, didn't you?" But it was far from her own work here. Did Cat heard right? Lina did what?

"Hang on a second here..Lina did what?" She wanted to know this fact back at the new dancer here and whirled back at Vincent who gave her back an hurtfull stare much like back when they've decided to break things off at his houseboat. Pain was written all over his face back then.

"You heard me well enough, unnie, big sister. Lina had ordered Gretchen's murder. Despite her sweet face, she's a evil bitch to mess up but to have fun since she can't keep her promises right." Stephanie had followed back under her startled stare once Cat turned back to look over her. She did what? How could she have done it? So, it means..Vincent couldn't have had been there. It explained everything. He had been there with her all this entire time, though. Not even Tori could have had been a part of it. If so, then where had she been all this time? If so.

"So, anyways, if it didn't went up to your ears, already. Then, let me be the one who would tell you this one thing, littertly. We would not be defeated, easily. So, whenever you get asked to beat the creep out of us, and I mean all of us, here." The dark curly haired woman had stated back to Cat with a warning finger and despite all the make-up she used here, she wasn't kidding, at all."We would beat the crap out of you."

"As if you can scare me, girl."

"You should be." The dark haired woman had followed back."I ain't like the other girls you've beat the crap out of it. I can bite and attack, and once I do it, there's no turning back, here."

"It doesn't matter, cause as long you're in my terriority, you'll be the one who would get beaten and under my watch, young lady. Trust me, you don't want to mess up with a lady who had a black belt at karate, like me." Catherine had gladly volunteered said back onto threatening. But Stephanie didn't seemed to be scared of her, when she scoffed back at her face. Looking far too confident, here."Don't laugh or look too much confident, I can beat anybody's ass here, ask Eva and Natasha, they'll tell you that.." She admitted back."Ask Vincent here, he was there to clean up the mess over there-"

"That's too bad you believe you can handle onto that." Stephanie had interrupted her back too much to Cat's angry stare. "I know, Nadia had tried and despite all that, she ran away with an ex-FBI Agent. Knowning deep down she was scared of people and bad people like us could get when we get angry." Only she hadn't known what kind of trouble she was getting onto, and Vincent as silent as he watched the insults getting real here, it wouldn't be taken for lightened.

Definally wouldn't be taken for lighten. When all the hooker girls who've have had been under Àlvarez's order turned out to be dead, all of them except for Natasha, Anna, Eva, Olga and not to forget this unknown and famous Nadia.

...

"Ask Vincent here, he was there to clean up the mess over there.." Cat's voice tone had reasoned over his head. And with the terror that filled up his mind for good. As a beast he had been train to confront many things, but never to be there and to watch the woman whom had promised to keep his life saved and to commit these terrors of attacking women who were told that getting punished was right when they shouldn't.

However, it was the shocking stare that Cat gave him, it was the only good thing that ever had happened to him. To let her know that he wasn't involved into Gretchen's murder or to Yalena's attempt murder one. When she did believed he was the cause of it. When she thought he had taken her away in order to have her friend killed. Not even Tori had been present. It couldn't be. He was innocent.

However, Lina had been there when Gretchen's murder had occured and from what Stephanie had told her, it was the truth here. She didn't lied. Her own heartbeat had said the truth. However, things with her and with the other people here, it was only bad news here. It meant trouble here. Cat may believe he had nothing to do with Gretchen's murder, but not so much about Yalena's attack back at the jail time. It was something else he needed to prove.

He wasn't there when Yalena's attempt murder had happened nor was Tori, after all he did tried to attack and kill her when he found her in the shower, and especially whewn she couldn't defend herself any longer. Or was she? She wasn't the exact same woman he had known ever since their beasts senses went out of control once. Maybe, the near-death sentence had made her more sensitive. But Lina may have the answers, after all. She was an evil bitch. She may have had ordered Gretchen's murder and as well, Cat's attempt murder, all because she didn't liked the way he had been treated by her. Lina wanted him to wake up and realize that the girl he fell for before had been turned to a monster. Still, Catherine was there and well kicking out. Despite her humanity being gone, even if it meant for a case.

But still, Lina might be in very much trouble with the new recruits here, And not only Lina could be in trouble, Catherine as well and especially when his ex-girlfriend had recognized her from a past case and the very same one that she and Tess had worked and had arrested Su Li back then.

And from where the bartender appeared back at her work place. Vincent decided to make a step over her. Even if he felt himself burning up here, he was getting sickier than ever. Angela was right, he may need to get himself checked and with J.T. out of the picture, he couldn't get himself exposed.

And Lina had ordered the murder of the woman he loves. Yes. The woman he still loves, so deeply.

"Lina."

"Vincent, how are you-"

"Don't batshit me here, like you didn't know it.. I know what you've done.." It was out of control here, but he couldn't help it. He felt angry, a feeling he hadn't felt ever since last night. And it wasn't the beast that was doing all the talking here, but the man himself here.

"What?"

"You've tried to kill Ayaka, here and last night.."

"You don't know-"

"The hell that I know of it, here. You've played me right here when you had known what the heck you've had been doing, over there."

"Listen to me, here.." He grabbed her wrist with a tight grip here as he growled up here. That had taken her by surprise at his own move. And how it hurted her by his sudden and angry move.

"Vincent, you're hurting me-" And this time, he sworned his own eyes had changed into amber and glowing ones, here. But he couldn't allowed himself to fully change into a beast or ele, he wouldn't get so lucky. A cat has nine lives as they say, but not as much for him. Keep beasting out, and you'll die.

"You stay away from C-Aya, you've heard me? If I heard from someone you've touched her, you can be sure that I would expose you for Gretchen's murder, and that little friend of yours Steph, may as well defend me up.." Lina was left awestrucked by this sentence as she heard this woman's name here. How come Stephanie had known about that night. The one when Gretchen's last taking breath? Unless, Su Li had many spies, it couldv've had been the explaination here.

"Like I said, one touch and I'll end you.." Vincent had warned her for the last time, before he letting her wrist go with a brutal move.

"Vincent.."

And he left off to to the stairs where headed up to Eva's room, leaving Lina completely out of breath.

"Vincent-"

"Leave him alone.."Had come up another voice as she whirled around and to see an very menacing Ayaka heading up to her way."You've heard him well, pretty girl.." She added up as she approached the bar. "One touch, and I'll end you up onto the very next trashing garbage from trying to have me killed.."

"Is that a threat?"

"You live in a universe of threat, so I might as well be also.." Ayaka scoffed back, annoyingly."After all, you've tried to kill me." She followed back up when Lina gave her a stare as if she didn't know what the heck she was talking about."Don't fool me, girl, I know what you've did. And that Òliver had taken such good care of me, you can tell you've lost your cause, here over me."

"I'll like to see you try, Aya." Lina had defied her.

"I already know who you are, and trust me you don't wanna mess up with me, here.." Ayaka had followed back."And these new kids here? They don't scare me, unless you want Òliver to know about them as well?" Or wouldn't they? Ayaka didn't know them well enough. And like Virgina had said, Su Li's people weren't innocent darlings dolls like Àlvarez's dolls, here.. They had known how to defend themselves.

"Or maybe about you as well.."

"Why is that?"

"You're as fake as you're showning it to be.." Fake? How so? When Ayaka furrowed her eyebrows together, in fake wondering as she played along.

"You're not clear enough to be." Ayaka had tried to play along, but not too much for Lina.

"I've only tried to prove to Vincent, that you were not the person you've shown to be, in order for him to wake up."

"From whom?"

"From you. You're the monster that you've proved to be once you've started to attack these girls. I didn't wanted him grow up and developpe sentiments for a dangerous girl like you." Lina had followed back as Cat tried to put on a brave face here. The bartender wanted to make her look like a monster despite if she didn't wanted to come onto term here. Make her shake for a bit.

"It's just a job, that I've taken." A job that has somehow taken the good part of her. And how it somehow terrified Vincent. And still, he decided to come and rescue her, that night. When everything seemeed to be hopeless, and yet he still he came. However, this time it looked different. Roles had been reversed here.

"A job, you've taken and start to like it every second of it."

"If I were you, Lina, I wouldn't want to deceive Òliver, cause if you do, I might as well tell him what you've been trying to do. Loading up money to an hitman who tried to had me killed, only because I've hurted your feelings.." Ayaka had warned her about."What are you six? Still crying over a little boo that a short and tough girl like me can do? Pff. Yeah, right. Grow up, big girl or else I'll tell Òliver about that night. And the next thing you'll be is out onto the street." And that followed up with a threat, at the very end of it. as much as Cat wanted to prove herself towards an puffing bartender that she was strong enough to beat her ass of in a battle, here.

Cause despite if she wasn't with Vincent any longer, she still felt the need to protect and defend him. That feeling and need hadn't faded away from her, yet. Even the fact that the beauty had saved the beast. When, she was the beast and Vincent was the beauty. Despite being an monster in pain.

Cause depise, how hard he tried to hide the pain, Cat had figured out that Vincent was in fact living and hiding himself with pain.

...

'Sometimes, you really need to change the type of women you're falling for..' He cursed through his thoughts as he poured him another cup of coffee as he stood into the break room. Ayaka. That woman is like metal to me. A wicked witch to fall for.

Òliver had a hard time trying to cope up with his feelings towards his nearly dead and missing wife, and yet with Ayaka. Beautiful but as wild she looked to be, despite having an horrible baggage that trapped her from having sex with him. Or with any men around. But it somehow irritated him to see how close she had gotten with Keller. The new doctor in block. After many doctors that walked in and out from the club, he was the one who had stuck around the longest here.

However, it still was unusual to see him being as much protective towards Ayaka from the way those two seemed to have had become ever since Keller had accepted the job. And somehow it did made Lina grow up envious feelings towards them. Includding him. It was a feeling that he hadn't felt for many years ever since he had meet and fell in love with Yalena Sandler.

A woman whom had known a little bit too much for her own good, here. And the very same one whom had taken their daughter away from him and his actions. And there she was missing. Yalena in a coma and her lover who still refused to speak out from telling where Angela was hiding, only for Yalena'S sake.

That bitch.

And Ayaka had stepped right in when Yalena was stuck into a coma.

Òliver could've just had given up onto her and given up her organs to him. Him. Only, if it looked easy, but it didn't. She wasn't there or anywhere to be found, even with NYPD around, cause if she was well surrounded with the entire polive departement from NY, he was as doomed. It all started with domestic violence until other illegal stuff. Marta, had been the first to figured out before she perished into a accident. Or that it looked like accident, according to the authorities.

And Vincent Keller was standing in his way like a curse. Which it only made him angrier. How bad he was getting jealous, here. The man here had all the looks of every women and that includded Ayaka here. And even if she tried to hide it from him, Òliver wasn't as stupid as he seemed to be. Just because he wasn't there all the time at the club, that doesn't mean he was stupid of his own surroundings. No. He wasn't.

His phone vibrated through his pocket that had shook him out from his reverie. Putting down his coffee cup onto the counter, he fetched out and checked out the ID. And when he did, he winced.

It was bad news. It was Him. He couldn't place him as a name. Cause he was the most evil person and man to work with and if you couldn't adjust up well with him, might as well be dead than to do the worst.

"Yeah?" He growled out through the phone and luckily, nobody was there in the room. So there wouldn't be any reason to hide out or walk away from here.

"About damn time, you answer your stupid and damn phone-"

"What do you want?" He better get himself to the point here. Unless, it was more work to do here for him.

"Your help. I found the perfect lung." Seriously? How so? How did He had been sure of his own choice up here? And without getting himself checked up here for a match? Hey, wait up here. He'd been doing thins illegaly for a bit here. Then, why shouldn't he even worry? Unless, he wanted to be traced.

"A match?"

"Don't need that for checking, cause I know you've chosen your girls by the very same blood type as mine, you know?"

"Make it fast..Where do you want us to meet?" àlvarez had followed up with a sigh as the voice through the line had followed up with a giggle.

"A lost hospital ergh, laboratory, from the east of Manatthan. I don't know. Looks pretty dark and you can make it in a half of hour? She might not be as fresh in a day or two..Think you can find an excuse to get out from the hospital?"

"Organs need to be frozen-"

"Not for me. I need it as fast it can be." Think he could? It wasn't the exact answer, that Òliver could make out of it, but since he was clear and out supscion from any eyes here, it might as well be. Nobody had known about his double life. So, he was free and on his own.

"Òliver?"

"Just give me the freaking address, and I'll be there as soon as I can." Òliver had demanded to know with a curse. After all, from the start, he had been the one who had been cursed by this man. Him.

And to which he had no clue how it would end, or so.

...

"You've been cursed ever since you went into the field, thanks to your little friend, J.T."

"Shut up.." Vincent grumbled back through his breath as he walked inside of the isolated place through the basement, into the examing room. His head was aching up, badly with pain as much as his vision was blurring up now. Close to lose his own balance. When the other voice in his head was making things worse for him to bare, even when it tried to convince him up that J.T had betrayed him when he sent him off to Murfield's own secret organisation. In order to keep him safe from falling through battle.

"You've been cursed ever since you've landed your eyes onto her. Love her, even. Say it." The evil beast inside of him tried to manipulate his own insicurities, but by using Catherine's own name in secret this time when the animal in him snickered. Vincent hung up as he held his fists onto the counter as he closed up his eyes in pain.

"No."

"Say it, Vincent. Admit she is the one whom had cursed you with her love and destroyed you with it."

"No. She is not." She is not the cause of his curse. No. Even with his beast side tempting to change his mind whenever he was at his worst behavior.

"Say it, Vincent. Say she is the monster whom you refuse to believe but trying to protect her-"

"No-"

"Vincent, she's a monster-" The other part of him wanted to trick him out. When Vincent had finally lost it.

BAAM!

"Get out of here!" He clenched up his hand onto a fist and knocked out the counter, harder and louder than he could ever had been done. His voice had changed his tone as he let out an terrifying roar to defeat the beast out of his mind. Cause, as he stood in control the beast wouldn't take advantage of it, just because he was suffering for a woman whom didn't wanted him any longer. But it didn't mean, he wouldn't be able to stop him from losing herself.

"Vincent.." Man. If he hadn't taken much of any interest through her voice, he wouldn't be so heartbroken, today. However, he was sure she had taken notice how ill he looked right now. And especially after he had taken another life checking over Eva whom appeared to be sleeping off.

If only hadn't grown out to be attached to Catherine's concerned voice, here.

Vincent roared out deeply as he still stood onto the counter and refusing to look up at her, despite feeling her presence close. As Catherine stood in the doorway in wondering with the same clothes he left her with. His chest broadered deeply and strongly through his shirt.

"Catherine.."

"Your eyes. You need to control the anger from showning up.." His eyes? Oh great. His eyes must had been glowing and out of nowhere. Anger and from stress. Not to forget from hallucinations from the illiness from the poison. And Catherine wasn't making it any easier.

And then he whirled around to face her without shame, and not knowing who would take part of the next thing.

...

"Your eyes. You need to control the anger from showning up.." Shivering through her spine when she saw him turn around with hate, The beast has somehow made his way in. Catherine didn't expected to see this as she secretely walked through the open office as she heard Vincent talk to himself here. As if he was close enough to lose himself. Things didn't looked normal here with him ever since this morning when she found him leave the bathroom through this badmouthfull motel. To see blood through the sink. Unless, it was hers which it wasn't. But mostly his.

And awfully sick, to state about it.

And even, Vincent had let the beast take control, here. Vulnerable as he seemed to be.

His eyes looked bloodshot as if he couldn't or had any sleep, lately. His skin was pale and sweating heavily through his brow, seemed to be suffering and an undying suffering meaning that she couldn't even explain to herself.

Even if these eyes who were suffering an unexplicable behavior, were also glowing. Beautifully, despite being full of hatred. and if she did wanted to soothe them to take the pain away.

Even if she had to act cowardly, here.

"What are you looking at?" Vincent's grumbling voice with anger and dismorfmed with the beast's had called back up to her face.

"Nothing.."

"Stop lying.." Vincent gulped through his frustrated tone here. No, not his own voice tone. The beast's.

"Vincent, I-"

"You've just came here to make sure, that I haven't killed anybody right? As if you've suspected from the beggining. That I've killed your other friend, Hermandez.." He scoffed back with mockery here. Didn't she? Maybe, she sure did. After all, Vincent had been capable of anything, lately. But after hearing Stephanie back at the bar, that Lina may have had ordered Gretchen's murder, she doesn't think of him of murderer for it, but for Lena's attempt of murder? How to think, he had nothing to do with it?

There wasn't any proof of that. Vincent could still be the manipulative man she had known and the perfect murderer. Wasn't he?

And even if he was proclaimed innocent, it still would be left without any answers. Tori might be his accomplice and may have had attacked Lena in jail. Or didn't she? Cat had no clue. And with Vincent whom had held her away from her friend as a excuse-

"Catherine!"

"Keep your voice, down low! People might hear us-"

"Or else, what? I'll be expose you? Expose both of us? If there ever was an 'us' into this situation?" He snickered evily as she watched his veins making its way through his hands. Through his fingers, marking its way throughtout his nails that had slowly become claws. Sharp claws. Just like she'd remembered whenever he had been out of control, from before. However, he was in perfect control, here. Even if he did let the beast come in. She felt her breath being all caught up through her throat, but she needed to stay calm. She just gotten out of the hospital and needed to be calm, any brusque movement could make little things worse than it might would be now. Fight it, Vincent, fight it. Her thoughts sounded desparate.

"Vincent-"

"Answer me, Catherine!" He growled even at her direction when he started to move like he was watching her like a prey.

"Don't call-"

"Cut the crap! You whore!" Her eyes widened into shocked as her heart had almost stopped its beating, here. A whore. Vincent's beast voice sounded even worse now as he did called her from a name she never did expect him to call her from the day they've meet. An whore. A slut. She was shocked as she watched his face trying to betray the emotions he felt despite the beast taking in. "I can call you the way I want! And this is what you are and have become! I need an answer and right now!" He shouted back as she stepped back a few steps fewer when he still continued to approached her close. She shivered with fear when she let Vincent speak out the truth. With himself being angered with all the pain that the beast took pleasure to take.

"You're his whore! With the way you've letting yourself become when you're around him. It makes me sick.."

"No, I'm not-" She tried to deny it.

"You are. Don't deny it. You liked it.." He was certain of it when she shook up her head, once again.

"I'm not his-"

"Just like I'm a murderer." She let out sudden gasping sound out of from her mouth when he grinned even here. How could he smile at this sentence? How could he? "Or it's what you think? I'm sure you do, ever since you've landed eyes on a monster like me."

"Vincent-"

"Tell me something, Catherine. You've liked to be touched by a man like him, let him kiss you and insert himself through you, even if it's all an act? He's smart, one day, he'll figure out who you are and he'll get you in the most way you'll wouldn't even know." He grasped her shoulders with his hands as his claws were almost piercing through her shoulders as she wanted to get away from him."I know. Cause I've watched it, before. Just wake up, you whore. Wake up. You're way more smarter than this."

"You've liked it, didn't you?" He cursed through his breath with disgust and with challenge.

"Vincent-" She stopped at this instant.

"To be touched by a monster.." He did challenged her when his ghands slowly went down her waist as he had been talking about him or maybe about Àlvarez. Both of them were monsters and capabkle to commit crimes and to walk away from. Vincent had a reason, but not much Àlvarez. These men looked much too different. Vincent didn't wanted to become a beast but Àlvarez did.

"No." She shook her head. Almost looked frightened.

"Stop lying. Your heart says what I need to hear. You did liked it." He spat out his his words like a roar when she shivered almost looking a petrified young teenage woman here. Under a dangerous man's deadly mercy when she felt his hand going down deeper to touch her buttocks when the other held her close to him as she felt his erection close to lose itself through her. She felt trapped. And under him here.

When he felt dangerously, excited. But not her.

"You've liked it, admit it. Catherine. You did liked it." And Vincent was enjoying every second of it. Much to her shock.

"No. It wasn't like that-"

"Then how it had been? With you and him? With the two of us? Tell me how? Ohh, you mean like this?" He sounded as his hand slip through her waist and went up down throughout the pants she wore. When she felt his fingers wriggling and inside her borrowed panties and right through her hidden vagina and twisting it through his fingers. She let out a surprising sound hurting sound out from her lips. With pain and hurt. When she closed up her eyes with the burnings tears through her eyes. Hadn't been a different way of destiny, she would have loved to feel his fingers inside of her. But not like this right now.

She just felt disgusted even if it was by him. By an full hatred Vincent whom blocked against the wall when he breathed heavily through her face, being desparate here. She didn't or enjoyed any second of it from him.

"Please, stop, Vincent. Stop-" The old Vincent wouldn't have never done that. Never. Didn't it mattered the state he had been. He would have had himself killed first than being capable of ever hurting her.

"Or else what?" He cut her out from her pleading as his breath went all over her face through her ear. Was she pleading? "Would you scream? And to whom? You've really he'd come down? And rescue you from me? A monster like me? Just like he is? Or woulsdn't you kill me? Just like before?" He liked to torture her about the night when everything changed for them. Him to hate her when she was left no choice, but to spare from committing the inevitable. She could feel his smirk twisting up here through her face. And this is when she felt his hands both of them wrap around her gentle neck, as her eyes opened up with tears with shock as they've stared right back at Vincent's glowed and angered ones. No. No. No. He couldn't do this to her. The Vincent she had known wouldn't have never done that. No way.

And there he was. Willing to kill her, here. The beast wanted to kill her or wasn't Vincent?

"No, please, Vincent.." She pleaded back almost into a whisper, but his grasp had only become way morse drastic and close to cut her breath when he only groaned at her only response. And to when she could've had believed he did smiled here. Evily, here. She rose up hands onto her claws when she drastically wanted to pull him away from her. Frightened as her eyes looked to be here and to when his deranged smile hadn't faded away. His fangs even shown up. The beast was taking any pleasure of this situation here and right now.

Let himself go with hatred, as if he didn't mattered if he killed a person. The woman whom Vincent loved for the most entire life here. His sharp nails, were piercing up her neck, right here and now!

Feeling the blood about to slowly walk away-

"I'd like to see you try.." Vincent had replied back, almost wickedly and much to her shock as she held onto his strong hold and to which he wasn't was willing to give up anytime yet.

...

I'm sorry for being late. But, like I've told before, I've been dealing with depression lately and with insecurities. A part of me, just wanted to vanish away after being vandalised and being woken up at three o clock of the morning by the alarm. Not once but twice. To make yourself look and live like a ghost. I got stuck up and couldn't even write. Had not been able to write until today. So this chapter, is for you beasties. A little bit scary, I know and unexpected. But it wouldn't be Beauty and the beast any longer if anything was perfect here. Vincent and Catherine aren't perfect, but they're just human here. She is angry with thrust and he's just as sick when this poison makes him deal with unexplicapable emotions that somehow the beast takes advantage of. Even if it means by killing her.

More characters are about to come out. Lina might get herself in trouble as well like Catherine when other people, and expecically from a dead hitman's own costumers might be bringing more trouble and expecially to Cat that could lose control here. Medina might lead his own invastigating mission through her path, and mostly right to Vincent's way first.

Tanaka, Ash's friend might be in trouble as her ways lead up to Carl's deranged personality. And Òliver Àlvarez might as well lose control and might ask for ransom, to find his soon ex-wife and kid. But something else might jeopaardize everything and might need to find confort in Cat's arms. As Vincent had now called her a whore. Despite even if it felt by the beast's talking, here.

A new character named Tina had come in and might bring a new warmt and peacefull feeling onto the station after Ash and Tanaka left. It might as well be when her husband Orfeas would probably give a few answers or advice to an hidden, undercover and guilty Cat, in the very next chapters coming soon. Don't know when, but I'll let you know.

It might be at the nearly end. I don't know.

Thanks for supporting this fanfic, if any of you are still reading it. And being patient with my shit life here. I love you all. See ya later.
