Note: Thank you all so much for reading and reviewing I really appreciate all your reviews. So last chapter we figured out Vincent isn't doing so well coping with the fact he killed the white-haired man (who will remain nameless because I suck at giving character's names). I want to point out a quote that Vincent said to give you guys an idea on what is really brining him down: "I crushed his neck with my hand...you shot Sabrina and Alex in the heart. What sounds more humane?". Chapter 8 is going to be mainly focused on what exactly Vincent is going through. Anyway, I hope you guys like it and make sure to review to let me know! :)

I DO NOT OWN BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

Chapter 8

"Vincent?" J.T. called from downstairs.

Vincent didn't respond he just lied on his bed looking up at the ceiling. Nothing Vincent did helped him with the fact he crushed someone's neck with his own bare hand.

"Vincent!" J.T. called even louder as he made his way up the stairs.

J.T. walked into Vincent's room and found him lying on his bed staring up at the ceiling. "Hey you okay man?"

Vincent still didn't respond he just moved to lying on his side.

"Vincent, come on man just talk to me." J.T. walked over to his bed.

Vincent closed his eyes tightly and tried to think of something happy but nothing came to his mind. Not even Catherine.

"Vincent, come on." J.T. shook Vincent's shoulder. "Wakey wakey."

Vincent sat up in his bed and looked over at J.T. Vincent's eyes were blood-shot.

"Oh my god. You okay? You look awful."

Vincent sighed. "No...J.T. I'm not okay." he got up off his bed and grabbed his t-shirt from off the floor.

"Well what's wrong?"

"J.T. I crushed a man's neck with my hand." Vincent slid the shirt over his head and walked over to the counter in the middle of the room.

J.T. just nodded and followed Vincent. "It was self defense. He was going to shoot you!"

"Yeah, well maybe I should've let him." Vincent hopped up to sit on the counter.

J.T. grew wide-eyed. "You should've what?" he couldn't believe what he was hearing.

Vincent looked over at J.T. "I should've let him just shoot me. Then you could have a normal life and Catherine..." Vincent paused. "Then she could have a normal life."

J.T. shook his head. "Um...no." J.T. said as he pointed a finger at Vincent. "No, you see me and Catherine, we both signed up for this. We both knew we weren't going to have a normal life helping you hide out here and you wanna know why we did it anyways?"

Vincent looked over at J.T. with his blood-shot eyes.

"Because we both care about you Vincent." J.T. sat on the table to face Vincent. "We both care about you... a lot."

Vincent rubbed the back of his neck. He hopped off the counter and went over to grab his coat.

"Where do you think you're going?" J.T. asked following him.

"I'm going back." Vincent said grabbing his jacket.

"To...?"J.T. asked crossing his arms.

"To the abandon sub-way tunnels. I need to get my mind off things." Vincent put on his base-ball hat.

"Alright I have a feeling this isn't just about that man's neck. What else is eattin' ya?" J.T. watched Vincent walk over to the stairs.

He turned around to face J.T. with his eyes practically red. "I gotta go." Vincent turned back to the stairs and began to walk down to the main level of the warehouse.

Evan leaned back in his chair by his desk. He clicked the pen in his hand and bit his bottom lip. He looked at his computer screen and looked back at the dead man and then back at his computer screen. 'It just doesn't make sense' he thought. He went over to the man's body and took an x-ray of his neck. Even though he basically didn't even have a neck he still wanted to take an x-ray.

A few minutes later when the x-ray popped up on his computer he looked for any clues. He saw small white dots, nothing else. Evan looked over at the door to the lab when he heard someone walk in.

"Find anything?" Tess asked walking over to Evan's computer.

Evan pointed to the white dots with his pen. "See that?" Evan asked.

"Those small dots? Yeah i see 'em" Tess said confused.

"Well that's dust." Evan said putting his pen down.

"Dust?" Tess asked sitting down in Evan's chair. "What do you mean by dust?"

"Bone dust" Evan said putting on a pair of blue gloves.

"Bone dust..." Tess said staring at the screen.

"Yeah, small parts of bone. This man's neck disintegrated." Evan walked over to Tess.

"That is seriously disgusting."

"Yeah, it's pretty nasty." Evan said printing out the image of the x-ray.

"Hey, what ever happened to the red-head lady Cat shot?" Tess asked standing up.

"Oh...well I'm glad you brought her up." Evan grabbed the printed piece of paper and tacked it up on the cork board on the wall. "Cat did shoot her because the bullet matched the same type of bullet's the precinct uses but I did notice something odd."

"What's that?" Tess asked walking over to the man's body.

"Why would the woman want to shoot someone who was already dead?" Evan looked over at Tess.

"People are crazy Evan, some people just like shooting other people. It's sick and demented but that's some people for you." Tess patted Evan on the back. "Now if you would excuse me I have some more information that needs to be filed." Tess walked out the door and Evan just stared down at the man.

He rubbed the back of his neck and looked over at the clock on the wall. It was 6:55PM and he was allowed to leave at 7:00. He looked at the x-ray a bit more and tried to run a few DNA tests trying to find finger prints on the man's neck but nothing came up. The blood of the man's neck ruined any chances he had of finding any fingerprints leading to who may have done this. He went back to his desk and sat in his chair. 'He did this. There is absolutely no other explanation for how that man's neck got crushed. I'm going to find out who or what did this. I'm done hearing people say I'm wrong.' Evan thought. He looked over at the clock and it said 7:01. He got out of his chair and put on his jacket. He thought about ways to help him find out about this beast. 'Subway Tunnel'

He grabbed a small lighter that he used to work with chemicals to use as a flashlight once he got down there. He grabbed his car keys and left the lab locking the door behind him.

Vincent walked over to where he murdered Peter. He knelt down at the exact spot where Peter body once was. He smelled dried blood and looked over at the wall that was next to him. On the wall there were big red spatters of blood. It reminded him of the art gallery. The wall looked like a canvas and the blood looked like paint the artist just splattered on. He took a deep breath feeling his adrenaline pumping through his vines. He stood up and grabbed an empty barrel and threw it across the old tracks. He felt his face change. He knew what was happening, but he didn't try to stop it.

Evan made his way down the subway tunnel to were Peter tied him to the post. He stopped once he heard a large smashing noise that echoed through the tunnels. He stopped and took a deep breath. He tried to convince himself it was nothing but he knew it was something. He continued walking going deeper and deeper into the dark tunnel.

Vincent growled and picked up another large object and through it across the tunnel. He let out a large roar and turned around. He walked up to one of the concrete walls and smashed his fist against it. He watched as the cracks raced up the side of the concrete. He took a step back as he heard the gravel crunching from foot-steps. He walked slowly towards were the sound was coming from and growled under his breath.

Evan knelt down next to the post where he was tied. He found a small piece of the rope that Peter tied him up with and picked it up. He took a deep breath and was about to stand up when he felt a warm breath hit his neck. He slowly turned around to face the creature. He saw a human-like thing staring at him. He held his breath as the creature just stood right next to him and he felt the warm breath of it hitting his face. He swallowed. He couldn't move. He just looked at it astonished.

So...this chapter actually turned out to be one of the shortest ones...thats awkward. Again, not much to say here besides the fact that Evan holding the lighter and looking at the beast was a scene from the promo. Review to let me know what you guys think! Sorry it turned out to be so short. Anyway, I hope you guys liked it! Chapter 9 will be up asap.
