Chapter 8

Monster

No one can hear me scream
Maybe it's just a dream
Or maybe it's inside of me
Stop this monster!

-Skillet

Beck put his guitar safely in his case and his messenger bag by the front door, sighing with nervousness. "Oh, man, I hope I get this gig." He said, knowing his wife was listening from the kitchen.

Cat giggled, putting a plate of pancakes and eggs on the table, with a small plate of toast on the side. "Come sit down and eat, Beck. If you don't eat, your nerves will be even worse."

Beck did as he was told as Cat cleaned up after herself and did some dishes. "Cat, are you sure you'll be alright here by yourself?" He asked, glancing at his son who was throwing cheerios onto the floor. He sighed. That boy was never going to learn.

Cat looked to him with a soft smile. "We'll be fine, Beck. You just need to focus on getting that job, but I'm perfectly sure you'll get it." She said, walking up to him.

Beck was a commercial song writer, which means he makes jingles for products in commercials on TV. He has been doing fairly well, and it's made his family very wealthy. Cat was a songwriter for famous artists, which also helped bring in a few bucks here and there. They were very happy with their careers because that meant they had much time at home with each other and their only son.

Beck finished up his breakfast and handed his plate to Cat, who took and gave Beck a kiss on the cheek before he left. She straightened his tie around his neck, tightening it as well. "I love you and I'll be counting the minutes till you get home and tell me the good news." Cat said while Beck wrapped his arms around her.

Beck kissed her lips softly. "I just wish I could stay here with you forever."

"You can…" Cat dragged off with a flirtatious smile. "You just have to go present the jingle to the company first." She giggled as he pouted. She motioned to their son in his high chair, and Beck released her, walking over to him.

"Julian, my son." Beck said as he kneeled to Julian's level. Julian stopped throwing cheerios to the floor and looked to where he thought his dad's face would be. Beck stared at his 2 year old's grey pearly eyes with sadness. "I'm going to work, but I'll be back." Beck kissed his forehead. "I love you."

Julian forced a smile as he picked up a cheerio and threw it again. "I love you, daddy."

Beck left and Cat continued on with her chores as she placed Julian down for a nap a few hours later. Her phone rang. Cat picked up her pear phone with a smile as she saw Beck's face shining across the screen. "Hello?" Cat answered.

"They loved it, sweetheart!"

Cat jumped for joy while squealing. "Ooh, see, I knew it!"

"I know you did, I need to listen to you more often."

Cat giggled. "Are you on the way home?"

"I am, but do you need me to stop anywhere before I get there?"

"No, but if I do need something, we can go as a family later." Cat said with cheer.

"I totally agree to that. I love you, Cat. I'll be home in a few minutes."

"I love you too, bye!" Cat hung up the phone while thinking of what to do for dinner. Maybe they could go out to eat? She sighed as she placed her phone down on the kitchen counter and ran upstairs to check on Julian, since he had been asleep for a good half hour now. She walked into his room and saw him sound asleep on his car bed. After grabbing his laundry basket full of clothes, Cat began to head downstairs to the laundry room, but stopped in her tracks when she heard something.

…creak…

The front door opening.

She just hung up with Beck not even a minute ago. He couldn't be here THAT fast! She remembered she had locked the door too and nobody had a key to the house except for her and Beck. SHIT! Cat cursed in her mind as she quietly dropped the laundry basket and headed to the hall closet next to her bedroom. She opened the door silently and grabbed the box out of it, opening it, and pulled out the gun Beck had purchased a few weeks before and the bullets were already loaded in it. She took it off safety and tip-toed down the stairs, hiding the gun behind her back just in case. She kept a good look out as she hit the last step of the stairs, and tried to see if any intruders were around. The front door was open a little by a crack, so someone came into the house. Cat stepped away from the staircase to look into the living room, but someone came up behind her and put a hand over her mouth. Cat dropped the gun and tried to struggle against the person.

"Stop moving!" The man growled as he tried to make Cat stay still, but it didn't work well as she kept fighting back. "Into my car, move it!" He dragged her to the front door, but Cat kicked it shut before her. The man was fed up as he removed his hand and then pushed her towards the nearest wall, making her cry out in pain. "That's what you get."

Cat recovered quickly as she reached for the gun, but the man grabbed a patch of her hair, and yanked her up and onto her feet. Cat whimpered. "Let me go!"

"Your husband isn't home, I see?" The man questioned with a sick grin, ignoring Cat's pleads. "Well, in that case…" He pushed Cat against a wall, suddenly putting a hand up her shirt.

Cat had tears as she tried to push him away. "No, no, stop, please!" She felt his hand go in places he was NOT allowed to touch and she kept silently praying to God that Beck would walk through the door now. "BECK!"

The man slapped Cat's face, making her fall to the side and onto the floor. "Don't call another man's name when someone is having fun with you!" He yelled, getting on top of her as she was laying on her back on the floor. "Just stay still, and this will be over in a little bit." He taunted as he went to unbuckle her jeans.

Don't worry, Cat doesn't get raped. You'll see. The next chapter only gets more action and suspense for you guys! Yay! …well, yay for me…hehe.

Please, 10 or more reviews again! You guys are doing awesome! I love ya'll! No flames still.

PREVIEW FOR CHAPTER 9: Best Kept Secret

Beck held up the gun, and before the guy could protest, Beck shot the gun off 3 times.

BANG!

BANG!

BANG!

The man fell backwards, lifeless, onto the floor next to Cat, who screamed at the sight. Beck saw her holding her stomach, and he suddenly thought that's where the man shot her. He couldn't stop the tears that came to his eyes so suddenly. "No!"
