Chapter 22
Come My Way
Come my way I'm out of touch
I'm out of reach
I've got the faith to believe
Am I out of touch or out of reach

Beck ran down the stairs as quick as he could, praying with all he had in him that he could get to Cat in time. He had to figure out a way to save her. We've come so far and we've gone through hell! I won't let Cat die now! After everything, she just can't! Beck found a door and pushed himself against it, opening it with ease. He fell to the ground, but stood back up slowly when he saw a pool. A pool?
"An indoor pool." Lucy's demonic voice was heard, echoing through the large room.
Beck was breathing heavily as he looked around. "Show yourself, Lucy!"
"My pleasure."
He saw across from him two figures walking from the shadows into the light from the skylight above. He figured this place was away from the house now, considering how wide it was. Lucy stepped out with a sadistic grin with Cat in front of her, holding her close against her body, with a knife to her throat. Cat looked panicked and her hands were tied with a plastic wire behind her.
"Beck!" Cat screamed out.
The women kept walking slowly up to the side of the pool, opposite of Beck.
Beck gulped. "Cat?" His whole body was frozen. "Lucy, please…please, don't do this."
Lucy chuckled, holding the knife closer to Cat's neck, making the redhead gasp. "Oh, but I must." And in a sudden second, Lucy took the knife away from Cat's neck and pushed Cat violently into the deep pool, Cat screaming as she did.
"NO!" Beck ran and dived into the wide pool, taking a deep breath as he did so. He felt his whole body covered within the waters as he paddled himself down to Cat, who was struggling to break herself free. Beck quickly took her binds off and she wrapped her free arms around his neck as Beck swam back up to the surface.
They both gasped for air, but Cat screamed when a pole, one they use to clean the pool with, came towards their heads. It slammed on Beck's head, making him daze out for a second, but he recovered and before Lucy could hit them again, Beck grabbed the pole and pulled it towards them, making Lucy fall right into the pool next to the couple.
Lucy grabbed onto Beck's shirt, her nails digging into his skin. Beck yelped in pain, but he kicked her away. He helped his wife to the side where a ladder was. "Climb, Cat!" He yelled and she did so. Before he could himself, Lucy grabbed onto his hair and wrapped herself around his back to pull him away from the side.
"BECK!" Cat screamed out. As she tried to figure a way to help her husband, Cat felt a harsh hand on her shoulder. She immediately waved them off and turned around. She gasped at the man with gun above her. "AH!"
Beck heard Cat scream, but he had to get out of the dangerous situation he was in first. He began elbowing and kicking Lucy off of him, but she kept grabbing him to push him back into the water. "Get off!" He yelled, coughing at the water that entered his lungs.
Lucy looked absolutely possessed as she growled. "No! You'll die today, Oliver! And I have someone about to kill your wife, so you can burn in hell together!" Soon, she had Beck's whole body under water, but Beck pulled her down with him.
BANG!
Beck heard the gunshot, even underwater, and his heart almost stopped again. CAT!
Cat ran away from the man and went out the door Beck had come in. She climbed the stairs, as the man shot the gun at her a second time.
BANG!
She turned a corner in time as she stepped out of the staircase and out of the door into the home. Cat looked around and heard the man's footsteps coming. She went up another set of stairs. I have to lose this guy somehow!
BANG!
BANG!
The gunshots hit a picture frame above Cat's head once she reached the top of the stairs. Too close! Cat's mind screamed as she ran across the hallway when she reached the second floor. The man hit the second floor when Cat began climbing up the other set of stairs. Work it, Cat! Work it!
Beck kicked Lucy harshly in the stomach as he swam back up to get air. He saw something shiny lying on the cement ground, where Cat and Lucy once stood together. The knife. He felt Lucy grabbed his foot when he tried to paddle to the edge where the weapon was. "Dammit!" He growled as he used his other foot to break her fingers against his shoe. He swam as fast as he could and soon reached the edge, grabbing the knife that had a bit of Cat's blood on it. He felt Lucy grab his leg again, but he let her climb up him. And once she was face to face with him, Beck stabbed her right in the area where her lungs would be. Lucy gasped in pain and looked Beck in the eyes. She didn't say anything as she let Beck go and drowned to the bottom, with a trail of blood leaving her. Beck didn't waste any time getting out of the pool and looking around. "Cat?" He called out. It was quiet until…
BANG!
BANG!
He vaguely heard the gunshots from the upstairs floors, and he immediately broke into a run to climb the stairs, towards his wife. Please, God, don't let me be too late!
Cat reached the end of the line when she opened the door to a room. She immediately saw it had a personal bathroom so she went in there and locked the door behind her.
BANG!
A gunshot went through the door, but Cat moved out of the way in time. She went into the shower and opened the window that was large enough to fit through it. She kicked the screen off and saw it fall to the cemented ground. She climbed out and kept herself steady, and gripped the roof above her and used all her upper body strength to pull herself up there. Cat made it and felt the man's hand grab her foot, but luckily her shoe slipped off.
She ran towards the middle of the roof and took her other shoe off, getting an idea.
Cat saw the man groaning as he pushed himself up onto the roof as well. She threw her shoe at his face and he lost mobility for a moment as he fell back off, but he was still hanging from the edge.
Cat jumped for joy. "YAY! I can fight my own battles!"
But she heard him groaning again, and that was not a sound she wanted to hear. Cat saw the man pushing himself up again, and he stood up on the roof. He must work out. The man looked up at her with a death glare, but a tight grip on the gun in his hands still. YIKES! She backed away a bit as he pointed the gun at her, walking towards her.
Cat saw his finger touch the trigger and immediately moved out of the way.
BANG!
She jumped to the side with a grazed shoulder, but rolled off the edge of the roof as well. "AH!" Cat screamed sharply as she gripped the edge of the roof for dear life with both hands, but her left arm slowly going numb from the gunshot wound. She struggled to keep her grip on the ledge, but gasped when the man stepped over her with a smirk. "Leave me alone!" She screamed, knowing it wouldn't do any good, but she had to try. The man kneeled down to Cat and pointed the gun right at her forehead. Cat flinched.
"NO!" A roaring battle cry was heard as Cat saw the man fly off the edge and over her.
She looked down to see him hit the ground, blood spattering everywhere. She didn't want to join him. She looked back up and saw her scared to death husband. "Beck, get me up! Get me up!" She cried out as he took her hands into his to pull up.
Beck groaned as he kept stepping backwards and pushing his wife up at the same time on top of the slanted roof. Soon, Cat put one foot up and pushed herself up to Beck, and fell into his arms. The two collapsed on the roof and were breathing heavily.
Beck kissed Cat's forehead, with her still tightly in his arms. "I think we're getting a little too old for this." He panted out.
Cat giggled. "You're getting to old for this. I'm just exhausted."
Beck laughed and finally stood up, helping Cat to her feet as well. He gasped when he saw the small graze the bullet gave Cat on her shoulder. "Are you going to be alright?" He asked hastily as he took his over-shirt off to hold to the wound. Cat nodded, wincing at the contact. "I was so worried, Cat…I heard the gunshots and…and I couldn't find you. I almost lost you."
Cat put her hands through his wet hair. "Ditto, Beck. But we're both alive and ready to go see our son."
"Yes." Beck nodded and kissed her lips. "But Cat…"
Cat looked up at him with innocent eyes. "What?"
"We have a minor problem."
She narrowed her eyes. "What?"
"Well, actually it's a major problem."
"What?" She growled, losing her patience.
"Um…don't freak out-"
"For the love of all that is Holy in the world, just tell me!" Cat snapped.
Beck bit his lip before answering. "We can't exactly go back to Hollywood and live a normal life…"
Cat blinked. "Huh?"
"We have to run again."
"WHY?"
"Because we're suspects in an unsolved murder case."
Cat fainted.
Soooooo believe it or not, the next chapter is the LAST chapter of this story! Remember, the sequels are never that long and awesome as the first story, you know? Personally, out of these two, Anything for You will always be my favorite. Anyways, REVIEW! (10 reviews)
You're not getting a preview either…it's the last chapter, so it's only semi-sadness and semi-happiness in that one!
