Beautiful Nightmares
Chapter Four

She had no idea how long she'd spent in the vehicle - just that she was almost at the dreaded party. The last place of all she ever wanted to go - she was here. "Over here Miss Noir!" Cameras flashed and clicked in her face, all she could do was smile. But what no one knew, is how fake the smile was. How fake her smile always was because it had to be.

This wasn't what she wanted right now. Catty wanted to get the hell out of 'Tinseltown' and take a small vacation to really find herself.

Being asked if she liked the party so far, she faked the answer too. Plenty of greetings, conversations and demeanors all through this gathering were fake and phony as they could ever come. Until she was asked a certain question by the paparazzi. "What can the fans expect next from Catty Noir?"

She genuinely smiled, showing all of her razor sharp pearly whites. "A total make-over." She told the paparazzi in an assertive manner - no one was going to change her mind about this. And she wasn't even talking about looks wise.

"Oh sweetie! Kiss, kiss!" Who was this ghoul again? Catty accepted the kiss on either cheek but she really couldn't place how this fellow entertainer knew her at all.

"Hey, how's it going?" She asked ever so casually. The fellow starlet was almost appalled by the casualty that was being used in this scenario.

"Hear the latest about Wilhelmina?" She asked, until someone else famous waved her over. "I'll tell you later, it's utterly scandalous!" And with that, Catty watched this gossip furball walk away.

Rolling her pretty magenta colored eyes, she pulled her iCoffin out of her little purse as a reminder to call a very familiar person, the escape plan would be on the roll yet again - but she had to be smart about it. She gently slid it back in her purse, clipping it shut.

Flash. She suddenly turned around. Flash. Feigning another smile. A forced one, but it'd have to do. Flash. "Catty! Catty! This way please!" They begged her mercilessly. Flash. She obliged. Flash. She walked further into the party still, she'd become experienced in the art of ignoring the raging camera flashes. It was a nice event, but she didn't think it would be too big a big deal. What was the reason?

It was just the way the business worked though. There was no need for a specific reason to throw a party and for everybody to be there. She truly didn't want to be here, but for her fans she would continue to smile. "Ahh, dahling, you've made it!" Catty was relieved for the voice to break the tension of the paparazzi and pull her aside from the event. Her heels clicked along the marble flooring, "You look stunning!"

She recognized another famous artist all decked out in her own gown, sparkling and shimmering all the while. "Thank you. You look beautiful as well." She complimented sincerely, but the other barely even recognized the compliment.

Just chalking up another reason why she couldn't stand this business, it was so cutthroat. She subconsciously touched her throat lightly, imagining a fierce pain. Her nails clutched a sparkling piece of mirror hanging from her necklace. She had to get out of here.

Miss Noir couldn't bare another moment in this hell. She had to leave, sooner than later. It'd be best for her sanity. "Excuse me, please." She grabbed a fully amped cocktail, downing it in less than three gulps. Setting the glass down on a nearby table, she headed quickly into the shadows of the breathtaking venue - pulling her cellular phone out of her tiny purse. "William... please pick up." She pleaded.

Her pleads were answered, "Hello, William Tabby."

"William!" She exclaimed in a sharp whisper, "William, I'm so glad you answered."

"Catty, I was hoping you'd call. Should I come around the back with the limo?"

She breathed a huge sigh of relief, "Yes, please. And we're going bigger and farther than before... I'm going to destroy my phone, everything. I have to get away... I can't do this anymore." She choked on her words, but held in her whirlwind of emotions with all of her strength. And it took all just to hold back enough not to give herself away.

"I won't even use the limo Miss, I'll throw them off - we'll take my personal vehicle. Don't worry, it will work this time. I'll be there shortly. You be ready."

She could do this! She had to do this, for her own sanity it was a complete must. "Okay, I will." She hung up her cellular phone, shoving it back into her purse all nonchalantly. She took her heels off, to prevent any noises as she scurried towards the back of the venue, after many turns and hiding through corridors, she managed to find the exit and she stayed as invisible as she could truly be. Until she saw William in a car she'd never seen before, but she wasn't about to question it now.

Running as fast as her feet could carry her, she opened the door and jumped in the vehicle. "William, thank goodness." She hugged him.

"Hey, it is me. And your scumbag manager is not following me, I know for a fact he's not." That was good news to hear, very good indeed. "You can relax now," he told her, slithering the vehicle out from the event as best he could, soon speeding down the dimly lit streets through the night, no intentions of stopping anytime soon, nor anywhere near this location.

Leaving on a whim and having nothing but the classy dress on her body, she was hitting the road and never looking back again.
