Cat was sitting up on the gurney in the back of the ambulance with Julian sleeping in her arms. A breathing mask was on him, and the paramedic with her was concerned for Cat, but Cat paid no heed. As long as her son was alive and well, she'd be perfectly fine.

"So you have no idea what happened?" The man paramedic asked for the billionth time, what felt like to Cat.

Cat sighed, rocking her son back and forth, keeping the mask on his face. "No, I don't. My husband and I woke up in bed, thinking it was our alarm clock, and then I heard the fire alarm, and I went straight to my son's room. I picked him up, Beck found a way out, but we saw this woman-"

"A woman?" The paramedic's eyes widened.

Cat nodded. "Yes, a woman. Blonde hair, tall, skinny, all in black."

The paramedic quickly took out a pen and a paper, writing all this down. "And did she speak? Say anything?"

"She said to "Burn in hell", but right now, I'm confused." Cat said, confusion clearly written all over her facial expression. "My husband and I haven't been on anybody's bad side for years. We have been a quiet family."

"Did you say anything to her?"

Cat stared at him like he had 5 heads and two tongues. "What would you have liked me to say to her? STOP, DROP, AND ROLL? Our house was burning to the ground with us inside of it, so trust me when I say this, we didn't care about the woman who told us to burn in hell!" She never knew she could get THIS irritated with someone. Oh well, she is a bit on the stressed out side.

"Didn't you recently lose a son?" The paramedic asked cautiously.

Cat glared. "What's THAT supposed to mean?" She could swear on her husband's life that right now she was feeling like the cute, bipolar Cat Valentine, and not the grown-up Cat Oliver.

"Maybe-"

SLAM!

Cat screamed as they all were pushed towards the front of the ambulance with a violent shove as someone hit the back. "What happened?" Cat asked the driver.

The paramedic with her opened the window that headed towards the front. "Rick, what's happening?"

"Mike, there's a car behind us all in black, the windows are even tinted!" The paramedic named Rick said from the driver's seat. "They just rammed into the back!"

SCREECH!

Rick gasped as he saw the black tinted vehicle speed by them on the freeway. The window rolled down to reveal the blonde haired woman stalking Cat and Beck with a gun in her hands, directed towards him. "OH MY-"

BANG!

Cat screamed as Julian awoke, crying with her. The ambulance swerved dangerously, and rammed right into a light pole. The paramedic named Mike, with Cat in the back, went to open the back doors, but they opened with the blonde woman pointing the gun straight at his face.

BANG!

Cat quickly grabbed some disinfected spray from a cabinet and sprayed it directly into the woman's face. The woman dropped the gun and screamed in pain. "YOU BITCH!" She screamed, falling backyards out of the car, and onto the street.

Cat wasted no time running out of the ambulance with Julian tightly in her arms and stopped the next ambulance that had Beck inside. They stopped and the paramedic driving immediately realized what was happening and motioned for Cat to jump into the passenger seat next to him. Cat did so and after she shut the door, they took off. The woman had recovered and grabbed the gun, shooting at them. Thankfully, no one was hurt. The paramedic drove faster than a normal ambulance would. "What happened?"

"That woman killed the two paramedics that were taking me and my son to the hospital!" Cat told him in a panicked voice, with her heart racing a million miles per hour. "She's the same woman who was in the house when the fire started!" Julian was still screaming in her arms. "Calm down, Julian, calm down." She whispered softly. "Mommy has you, mommy's never letting you go." She said with tears streaming down her eyes. She could hear Beck calling her name from the back of the ambulance and for the paramedic with him to calm him down, but it wasn't working well. Cat leaned back against the seat. "Who is that woman?" She mumbled.

Two detectives left the hospital room that Beck, Cat, and Julian were in. Cat was sitting on a rocking chair next to Beck's bedside, rocking Julian in her arms gently. "Beck, what are we going to do?" Cat whispered as she realized her son was asleep.

Beck sighed, picking at the IV in his wrist. "Cat, this is insane. It's like dealing with Todd all over again." He forgot about the IV and reached over for Cat's hand, which she took, still rocking. "I'm just so surprised you or Julian weren't hurt. I should've stayed with you guys."

Cat smiled at him and shook her head. "There's nothing you could've done, Beck." She told him in a comforting voice. "I feel horrible for those two paramedics though…"

"They have such a dangerous job." Beck said. "They knew the risks. Of course, we didn't, because we have absolutely no clue why this crazy blonde chick is trying to kill us."

"Beck, is it possible that the woman was the same woman who ran in front of our car that night we were in the car accident and Nathaniel died?" Cat asked in a soft voice, afraid that she was right.

Beck closed his eyes for a moment.

Beck looked back at the road, but slammed on the breaks when Cat screamed. "SHIT!"

"BECK!" Cat screamed, covering her eyes.

Beck swerved out of the way as he saw a woman with blonde, curly hair and tall, slim figure step out in front of his truck in the pouring rain. Her covered eyes that had sunglasses on seemed to be staring directly at him. He suddenly was rolling off the side of the hill.

Beck opened his eyes from the flashback and growled. "If she is, I'm going to kill her."

"Beck, she's obviously out to kill us first." Cat said in a frightened voice. "What are we going to do?"

"I think the real question is: What have we done to piss her off?" Beck thought to himself out loud.

Cat let go of his hand and put both of hers on Julian to hold him tight in a protective hold. "I won't let Julian get hurt. I'm not losing another son. I'll die before I let anybody take him away from me." She said in a serious voice.

Beck nodded. "You read my mind."

Cat bit her lip. "Then what can we do?"

"There's only one thing we can do." Beck sighed deeply. "We have to defend ourselves."

Cat blinked. "How?"

Beck rubbed his lips together. "I know how."

Lol, I hope you guys liked that whole "STOP, DROP, AND ROLL" part…hehe. I couldn't help, but put that in for some humor. We had a fire at our old house a few years back, and we were in panic. My now 17 year old brother (back then he was 13) dropped face first to the ground and tried to roll to the backdoor, but he kept hitting things, so soon he just ran out. Oh, classic days…

YAY! I love my more than 10 reviews I'm receiving a chapter! So when we get to 100 reviews, I'm going release a new story (that's already finished, don't worry) and it's a cute one. BeckXCat, of course…pssh, what else?

No flames.

PREVIEW FOR CHAPTER 7: Obsession

"Can I make a suggestion here?" Andre spoke up.

Beck rolled his eyes and looked to him. "What?"

"Let's go to the shooting range after this and call Mr. Vega, see if he'll meet us there." Andre said with seriousness. "If you don't learn how to shoot that thing, the only thing you'll get a good aim at is your ass."

Beck nodded in thought. "This is true. I'll blow my foot off before I even have a chance to defend my home."

"Exactly." Andre said, pulling out his phone. "I'll call my daddy-in-law."
