*Tom POV*
I hit the breaks outside her home, jumping out of my car before it is at a complete stop, running up the stairs, as I hear the police sirens coming closer, I pray I am not to late.
"Hey what are you doing here ?" A man coming down the stairs yells, but I just pushes past him, and when he hears the sirens he makes a run for it out the door.
I sprint up the stairs, remembering where their bedroom is, when I reach the door I see another man coming out, zipping up his pants, calling over his shoulder. "Remember to kill her of when you are done".
"Don't worry I am not stupid". I hear a voice groan from the room, and I see red, I have never felt anger like this before, it literally explodes behind my eyes, tinting everything red, and I hit the man coming out the door so hard he tumples over unconscious.
I throw open the door, running inside, Catalina is laying naked on the bed, her beautiful body bruised and blody, the last man I heard on top of her, and I hear a blood curtling scream, realising it is me who are screaming.
"Holy shit". The man says as he turns his head, I grab him by the neck, throwing him through the room and he hits something with a sickening crunch, but I don't care, all that matters are Catalina.
"I am here darling, hold on, help is coming, stay here for me, for the kids okay ?" I beg her, trying not to cry, I don't want to scare her even more, but there is so much blood.
I fold a blanket over her, softly kissing her cheek, she has to get through this, I will never forgive myself if she don't, her voice almost inaudible. "Thank you for coming, please help our kids, save them".
"I will baby, I promise, I bring them back to you". I promise, and I mean it, Rafael isn't getting away with this, none of it, they say he is dangerous, hell just they wait till I get my hands on him, then they will see dangerous.
She smiles weakly, her hand caressing my cheek. "Thank you, I love you so much, I have no regrets". Then her hand fall down limp beside her and I scream again, only halfway noticing the police and doctors filling into the room.

*Ben POV*
I rush to the police station when they call, to pick up Tom, I knew this would end badly for him but not this bad, Catalina's husband had been waiting for her, he has raped her and beat her and they still don't know if she is going to survive.
Apparently Angel had gotten hold of a phone and called Tom before her father took her away, and he showed up finding some man raping her, throwing him into a dresser snapping his neck, Tom Hiddleston the sweetest most loving and non violent man I have ever met killed someone and smashed someone else's nose, and I totally get why, I would have done the same.
I walk into the police station to see him waiting for me, the police is seeing it as self-defence, he was just trying to save Catalina and no charges will be raised.
"Tom, how are you holding up ?" I look at him with concern, he looks like an empty shell, his eyes totally vacant of any emotions, I had expected him to be puffy faced and crying, this is a whole lot scarier.
He looks up at me, his voice is distant to. "Thanks for coming, could you please take me to the hospital, I need to see her".
"Of course, come on". I say, walking back out, Tom walking briskly to my car, and I wonder when this facade will crack, when I will get my friend back, because this is someone I don't even recognise.
We drive in silence for a while and I ask softly, hoping that if he talks about it, it might break through to him. "What happened Tom ?"
"He sodomized her, beat her and whipped her blody, then he left her with his brother and two other men, telling them they could do whatever they wanted with her, if they just remembered to kill her in the process, so they raped her and beat her some more". He says, sounding like he is reading the weather rapport.
I clasp a hand over my mouth, how can anyone be this evil, poor Catalina, I can't even imagine what she has gone through. "Oh God, I am so sorry".
"His brother was the one I broke the nose on, he is in custody, one got stopped by the police outside the house, they got him too, the last one, well he won't need a trial, he already had his punishment". He looks at his hands, as if he expects there to blood on them.
I put a hand on his arm, sending him a weak smile, honestly his behaviour right now scares the hell out of me, but I try not to show him. "You just wanted to protect her, not kill that man, we all know that, even the police".
"He deserved to die, I didn't care what happened to him, is it wrong that I don't feel any remorse ?" He looks at me with eyes that sends chills through me.
I look through the window, hoping even more that Catalina will make it, because I really fear what would happen to Tom's sanity if she doesn't.
