I DO NOT OWN BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

CHAPTER TWO

Vincent walked down to were J.T. kept his car. He opened the door and put the key into the ignition. It wasn't a short ride so it gave him a lot of time to think. He couldn't decide if that was a good thing or a bad thing.

Once he left the warehouse a million thoughts jumped across his mind it was so hard just to focus on one. There were just two many questions and not enough explanations. His mind raced back to when he first saw Catherine sitting motionless in the car. He didn't want to think about it, but he just couldn't help it…

Vincent's point of view: Flashback

I heard a gunshot and my heart just stopped. I don't know why but for some reason I thought it was Catherine. Even thought she was still at the wedding. I heard another gunshot and I just broke loose. I couldn't contain it any longer. The beast just took over every inch of my body and I ran as fast as my legs could go to were I heard the gunshots. A few paces back I managed to calm down. There was no way I wanted her to see me at my worst in her time of need. That just wouldn't happen. Luckily, by the time I got closer I had calmed down a bit. I ran in front of her car and screamed her name "Catherine? Catherine? Catherine!" I ran to the door and tugged on it with all my might. I couldn't take it anymore the damn door was stuck and trapped inside was the woman I spent the last ten years of my life protecting and there she was shot. "Catherine!" I screamed again but it was no use. I let it out. I let the beast escape, and I torn the door off and picked her up. She was loosing blood and she was unconsus and her car rolled. I looked around franticly. I put my head near her chest to listen to her heart beat. I was reilieved when it was still going but that didn't stop the beast. White headlights were coming closer and closer and closer. I looked one way down the road to the darkness and knew if I went that way I would be safe and I could help her. I looked toward the car coming closer and knew she would be safe if I stayed where I was. I spent 10 freaking years protecting her and now she is in my arms bleeding from a gun wound. 10 years, there was no way I was going to stop when she needed me the most. I wasn't going to leave her in her time of need. The beast took control and took a step toward the darkness wanting to run away. But the human half of me made my other foot concete. There was no freakin' way I was going to risk her life. I tried to calm myself down by listening to her heartbeat but it was regular. The car in front stopped and the beast wanted to run for it in the opposite direction far far away from whoever was in that car. But I remained still. That just wasn't go to happen. I was torn between my freedom and her heath. I knew J.T. was going to be mad at me who I didn't care. I stayed put. Right where I was and I looked to see who was coming out of the car. When I saw Evan I was relieved, even though he is the guy that kissed her I knew he cared about her and he would get her to safety. I stood still closing my eyes trying to calm myself down. It didn't work. It was all too much. I kept taking deep slow breaths but nothing worked. I was so pissed I didn't know what to do. I couldn't calm myself down and Evan is walking towards me. The beast was about to let out a roar but I held my bit hard down on my tongue to keep that from happening. I felt her heart beat drop. I closed my eyes and held on to her. I could feel my eyes become warm with tears. But then I realized something, the beast doesn't cry. I had turned back to normal.

Vincent was glad he made the decision that he had when he handed Catherine over to Evan and Heather. Heather was her sister and even though Evan had a thing for Catherine, Vincent's main concern was Catherine's health and safety.

He thought about what might of happened if he went to the hospital and why he just let her go with Evan and Heather. However, he knew the consequences if that had happened. Evan and Heather would surely figure out who he was, Evan would probably want to make him into a lab experiment, and not to mention there was always a possibility of another beast episode, then things would get really out of hand. Vincent tried to do everything as simply as he could, even if it was the most painful to watch her drive away in that car.

Vincent turned the car onto the next street when another thought crossed his mind. 'This really was all my fault. I left her at the wedding, if I stayed with her this never would have happened and she would be safe and sound. God how could I be so stupid? I left her alone at her fathers wedding, alone and outside, and her own fathers wedding.'

Vincent couldn't help blame himself for everything that had happened. He was the one that told her about the case in the first place. Vincent gripped on the steering wheel, harder and harder and harder. He jumped in his seat when he noticed what he was doing. He saw a bright glow of orange reflect on the windshield. "Calm down" he told himself. There was no way he was going to beast-out while driving a car. He kept breathing slower and deeper until he felt relaxed. Or at least as relaxed as he could at a time like this.

He made one more turn and then parked in a parking space. "Here goes nothing." He sighed.

Vincent walked into the employee entrance. He grabbed his ID number card hoping it would work on the scanner after all these years. He scanned it and waiting to hear the click of the opening door. Nothing happened. "Damn." Vincent whispered under his breath. He tried one more time and sure enough it didn't work. He heard someone coming and he turned around.

A thin tall man was walking towards him in a white coat and khaki pants. Vincent didn't recognize him so he must have been new. Then again it's been over 10 years. The tall man interrupted Vincent's thoughts.

"I hate this thing too, it never works and it's pointless." The man said swiping his ID card on the scanner. Sure enough the door opened and the guy walked in holding the door open for Vincent.

"Um…thanks." Vincent said grabbing the door. He put the card back in his pocket of his white coat.

"I haven't seen you around here? Are you new?" The man asked looking at Vincent with a smile.

"Uh…yeah, I just moved here from uh…Denver." Vincent couldn't help but smile on the inside remembering his fake hometown.

"Denver huh?" the man said with a surprised look on his face. "Why move so far?"

"Well…uh…" Vincent paused. "I just needed to get a way from Denver and see more of the U.S." Vincent faked a smile.

"Oh…well, okay I'll see you around." The man walked down a different hall and Vincent walked over to where they kept all the patients and what room numbers they were in.

He looked for Chandler, Catherine and found she was in room D657. He took the elevator to the floor with the "D" rooms.

The elevator stopped and once we walked off the elevators his mind was flooded with memories, memories that he had nearly forgotten over the past years. He walked over to the island in the middle of the hall and grabbed a mask to go over his mouth completing his doctor look and not to mention nobody could really identify while half his face was covered.

He walked over to room D657 and listened to see if any doctor was in there. He took a deep breath and listened to her heart rate. It was back to normal. Relief filled his mind as he stepped into the room.

He walked over to Catherine's bed and looked down at her and removed the mask off his face to hang like a necklace. He looked over at the heart monitor and it looked 100% normal to him. The beats were regular and her heart was beating at a constant rate.

"Hey." He heard her say in a week voice.

He took her hand and his and smiled. "How are you feeling?" He asked leaning down.

"Better. I just got the blood I needed a few hours ago." She smiled up and Vincent and stared at him "I'm glad you came."

Vincent grabbed a chair a wheeled it over next to Catherine's bed. "I'm just sorry I didn't come sooner."

"I was in good hands." Catherine smiled "I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you Vincent."

Vincent smiled "I just wish I got there sooner. I shouldn't have left you. I'm sorry I guess I was just feeling a bit down on what you said Evan told you about my DNA." Vincent looked down at the ground.

"There is absolutely nothing you have to be sorry about Vincent. You saved my life."

Vincent took his other hand and pushed the strands of hair that were in front of her face and tucked them behind her ear. "I'm just happy that you're okay."

"I'm okay because of you. It doesn't matter if your DNA is changing, you saved my life and you risk everything just to see me."

Vincent gave her a confused look not quite sure were she was headed with that. "Every relationship is a risk and I would risk everything if it means I get to see you everyday." She squeezed Vincent's hand and looked at his eyes.

Vincent looked in her eyes and he could tell she was tired. He squeezed her hand lightly and rubbed his hand on the back of her head. He knew she had a concussion from finding what room she was in it had what was wrong with each patient. "How's your head?" He asked.

"Fine. Just a headache that's all." She smiled and closed her eyes.

"How about you get some sleep its late." Vincent said as he got up out of the chair putting it back under the desk where he had got it from. "And try to sleep on your back. You don't wanna put extra pressure on that rib." He said while looking at all the, "get better soon" cards and the flowers. Catherine saw Vincent smile while he looking at the white board full of little messages.

"Vincent?" Catherine said looking over at him.

"Yeah?" he walked over to Catherine's bed and she just looked up at him smiling.

"I just want to you to know, I accept all of who you are."
