Shoutout to an anonymous reviewer who said they were my biggest Australian fan! That's so bizarre to think I have fans, hehe!

Tori Vega was awoken from her deep and peaceful sleep by the annoying tune of her phone ringing loudly on her coffee table beside her. She lifted her head from Andre's lap and opened her eyes to find her living room had been plunged into darkness. Frowning, she sat up and caught sight of the clock on the dvd player in front of her. It was just after three in the morning, explaining why it was so dark.

She reached out and grabbed her fruit-shaped phone from the coffee table and answered the incoming call, "Hello?" she answered, surpressing a yawn as she spoke. Behind her, Andre lifted his head up and groaned at the pain in his neck from having it in one position for so long.

"Hey, Tori. It's Robbie," Robbie's voice came through the phone.

A smile appeared on Tori's face at the sound of Robbie's voice. She hadn't seen him for a while. Actually, she had barely seen any of her friends since they arrived back from San Diego several weeks ago. She missed them.

"Hey! What's going on?" she asked with a smile as she relaxed back into the couch, feeling Andre's hand reach up and play with her hair.

Robbie sighed before answering, "Something happened," he began. Tori could tell he was having a hard time saying what he was feeling.

She frowned, "Is everything okay?"

"Just... come over to my place. Bring Andre," he told her.

"Robbie, it's like... three in the morning," she yawned.

"Please," he begged, sounding desperate.

Tori sighed, "Sure... we'll be there soon," she agreed before hanging up.

"What's happening?" Andre asked as he yawned and stretched tiredly.

Tori sighed, "That was Robbie, he says something happened and we need to go to his place," she told him as she stood up and pulled on her boots. Andre frowned but nodded. He stood up and grabbed his car keys from the coffee table before they left her house.


Robbie walked back into his bedroom after hanging up with Tori. His face fell when he found Cat curled up in his bed, still shaking slightly from her earlier discovery. Robbie had called the police after finding her room in its state and they advised Cat not to sleep at her house for the night. Needless to say, Cat didn't argue.

"Tori and Andre are on their way," he told her as he sat down next to her, reaching out and stroking her hair away from her face.

"What about Jade? And Beck?" she asked, looking up at him.

He smiled softly, "They're still in Canada, sweetheart."

She pouted and reached up to take his hand from it's position on her hair, bringing it down and playing with his fingers.

Around ten minutes later, the doorbell rang and Robbie left his bedroom to go downstairs and answer the door. He found Tori and Andre standing on the other side and quickly invited them in.

"What happened?" Tori asked as she and Andre followed Robbie up the stairs and into his bedroom. When they entered the room and found Cat lying in Robbie's bed, only more questions filled their minds. Robbie sighed and closed the door behind them, running a hand through his curls.

"Someone was in Cat's house. In her room," he told them, hearing Cat whimper in response.

Tori's eyes widened, "Really? Do you know who?"

Robbie shook his head, "Not for sure, but... I think I have a pretty good idea..." he said, trailing off - not wanting to say it out loud.

Andre caught on immediately, "Stanley," he finished.

Both girls' bodies froze at the sound of his name. It was a name they never wanted to hear ever again in their lives. Only horrifying memories flooded their minds when they heard that name.

Robbie sighed and nodded, "I mean... I'm not sure but who else would it be?"

"Maybe... a robber?" Tori guessed, trying to find any other explanation.

"They were only in my room," Cat spoke up in a quiet voice from behind them.

Tori frowned sadly and sat down next to her friend, wrapping her arms around the redhead tightly - both of them seeking comfort.

"What do we do?" Andre asked as panic began to fill his body. If Stanley was back, it was only a matter of time before he struck again, meaning they had limited time to come up with a plan to keep the girls safe.

"Call Beck and Jade. They need to know what's going on," Tori said as she stroked Cat's hair, who nodded in response.

Robbie nodded and pulled his PearPhone from his back pocket and dialled Beck's number. He leaned against the end of his bed as he waited for Beck to answer.


Just as Beck began to feel himself falling back asleep, his own PearPhone began to ring from the pocket of his jeans which had been discarded on the floor. Jade groaned as he moved out of the bed, but couldn't help the smirk which appeared on her face at the sight of her shirtless boyfriend. Beck retrieved his phone and sighed at Robbie's caller ID, "Hey Rob," he answered.

Jade rolled onto her side and ran her hand up and down Beck's back, feeling his warm skin beneath her fingertips. She giggled softly when he shivered, but then frowned when he suddenly froze.

"What?" Beck asked Robbie, his shoulders stiffening.

Jade frowned and sat up, wondering what had happened. It had to be important for Robbie to call at this time.

"Is she okay?" Beck asked, making Jade's heart stop. Is who okay?

"Beck?" Jade whispered, getting his attention. She looked up at him with a confused expression. He sighed and rest his free hand on her thigh.

"Cat," he mouthed as he listened to Robbie.

Jade's eyes widened and her blood ran cold in her veins. What happened to Cat?

"Give me the phone," she told him seriously.

He hushed her and listened to what Robbie was telling him before he responded, "We'll be home in a few hours, see you then," he said before hanging up.

"Beck, what happened to Cat?" Jade asked, her heart pounding in her chest.

"She's fine... pyhsically. Just... someone was in her room and they think it might be... Stanley," he told her slowly, unable to determine how she would react.

Jade could feel her throat close up at the sound of his name. Her heart raced in her chest and she jumped out of bed, "We're going home. Now."
