It had been a couple of hours since Fez and Victoria with Ash had left the two new love birds at home alone. It had been heartwarming to see her sister so relaxed and in love, well maybe it was too soon for that but it would come. Her only worry was the entrapment her elder sister was in and how desperate she was for Cassie to escape it. But Victoria knew she would need help and it was why she was sneaking out of the house as the time ticked to midnight.
It was the only way, she thought to herself and wondered who she was trying to convince. Her eyes turned towards the door that had her sleeping boys in; all unaware of her movements. It was for the best, Victoria tried to convince herself some more as she walked the dark, cold streets. It had her shivering as her eyes moved around the empty road for the car he would be in. She hated how harsh her heart was beating as anxiety built inside her. Victoria found herself wishing he wasn't coming but of course she didn't have that luck.
"A kitten shouldn't be here all alone." Her body stiffened without Victoria truly understanding what was going on as his voice moved closer. A push had her hitting the alley wall as Nate closed in. "Nate, stop it." The amused look coming across his face only had her more fearful and wondered if this was a mistake. She scolded herself for only realising that now. "We had a deal, Victoria." He purred in what he thought was a flirtatious manner but all Victoria could picture was her sister in such a position and being fearful. It was why she made the next move.
Her hand moved into her back pocket and produced the all famous CD. Victoria watched his eyes light up and she knew she made the right choice to make copies; all with Jules' consent. The moment of silence passed for moments with Victoria staring and looking out to the bare street. "I guess there's no real need for you anymore." His dark eyes locked on hers as a shot of fear raced through her body as her own eyes widened. "Nate..please.." She hated herself for begging so quickly but the look in his eyes had her completely terrified.
For a moment, Victoria thought he was going to stop as she saw a flash of softness move through his eyes whilst his hands moved up her sides. "I'm sorry it was you who gave it me. I think i'll miss you." Those were the last words she heard as his larger hands wrapped around her neck and tightened. His strength had her mute almost instantly as she opened her mouth to cry. Victoria's eyes already beginning to water as she grabbed at his wrist; her nails digging into his skin but he gave no reaction.
Her vision became blurry as she wiggled in his hold; Victoria's head falling against the wall and making her all the more dizzy. The breath seemed to slowly move from her as a whimper fell from her lips.
A flash on her phone that had fallen in the struggle had her attention as Fezco's face came on. If that was the last face she saw, Victoria would be happy she thought to herself as everything began to fade and her body slumped against the cold wall that had her shivering in her last moments.

"Pick up." Fezco desperately whispered into the phone as the ringing continued for far longer than he enjoyed. His pacing was only agitating Ash but he couldn't find it in himself to care as the worry only deepened. The sight of the empty bed had coldness flooding his heart as the call rang off. Again. "Did she say anything to you?" Fez turned his erratic attention towards Ash who was already moving through their cameras. "I already told you. No." The annoyance in his tone was evident but it was only from worry as those ever seeing eyes moved through the footage.
The silence seemed to stretch for eternity as his heart raced and he moved to call her again when his brother's voice reached his ear. "You have to see this."
"Wha - ." His eyes widened at the visuals coming across his brother's screen. "What is she doing?" Fez whispered mostly to himself as his eyes grew in concern as he watched his love shiver. "How long ago was this?" The panic rose again as he waited for the answer. "Nearly an hour ago."
As soon as the words left Ash's mouth, Fez moved towards the door and grabbed the gun closest to him. The rain furiously hit him as the wind howled around him as if giving a voice to his own anger. His wet fingers slid against his screen as he called his love and prayed to whatever God would listen that he would find his love. And alive. He couldn't bear any other thought of what he would find waiting for him. The guilt was already eating himself alive as he thought of what he could of done to stop her.
A soft smile reached his face as he thought of her stubborn nature but that fleeting moment left him to drown in the dread moving through his body.
The ringing carried through the wind just for him to hear. He heard Ash's footsteps behind him as Fez moved through the still street. Everything seemed to go in slow motion as he moved closer to the ringing that became louder as he closed in.
"Tory." He called out as the two boys turned to corner to the alley that the ringtone echoed and the scene in front of them had them both stopped in their tracks. "Fez..." His brother's voice that sounded just like a child hardly reached his ears as he stepped closer.
