Chapter 1: Nightlight

Disclaimer: I do not own Big Time Rush.

Another normal day at the Palmwoods, the four boys were caught up in some dome hockey. James and Logan in the current lead. "Carlos, block the shot, BLOCK THE SHOT-"

"OHHHHH!" Logan and James yelled in unison as they held hands together and did their happy dance. Right after, regretting it and agreed to never do it again.

"Oh, come on!" Kendall shouted, bummed that he and Carlos didn't win. "You CLEARLY cheated. Can I have ONE happy memory in my life?"

"We did not," James stated. He then shrugged and said, "Hey, good memories, bad memories. Be glad you can remember these moments in our lives."

Kendall sighed, and nodded. James was right, all of those funny memories with Logan, James, and Carlos aren't worth forgetting. "Like that time when we were ten, James lost his favorite hair magazine and cried for an hour," he said with a chuckle.

"HEY, that magazine series was discontinued and it was the last one I had! I HAD A REASON TO CRY,"

"Or that time that Logan sleep talked to the girl of his dreams at summer camp," Carlos smirked.

"OKAY, WE GET IT," Logan huffed. "Memories are funny. Okay."

All four laughed, enjoying themselves in the apartment 2J. Memories are made everyday, including the ones you want to forget ... Some can easily be forgotten. Be careful for what you forget, might be important.

"Hey, who wants a smoothie? I'm craving some blueberries right now," Kendall rubbed his hands together, awaiting the answers from his friends. Carlos, as always, said he wanted a mango smoothie, Logan wanted a strawberry smoothie, and James wanted a cherry smoothie. Kendall smirked and nodded at his best friends, walking towards the door to exit.

"Wait," Logan said, "Be safe, Kendall."

"I will, don't worry."

Walking out of the smoothie joint, Kendall held the four drinks in his arms. It was quite dark out, the sky was empty of stars. The cold wind brushed against Kendall's skin, making him have a little shiver. It was quiet, too. No one was really around. Every once and a while a car might pass by, but this started to freak Kendall out. Once he arrived at his car, he tried reaching for the keys in his pocket, but was having a hard time doing so. He set the smoothies on the ground for a quick second while he unlocked the car.

One problem ...

the keys were inside the car. Kendall cursed under his breath. Great. He whipped out his phone and called James. He heard a strange noise behind him ... looking back, he saw nothing. He shrugged it off.

"Kendall, hey buddy. Need something?" James picked up.

Kendall again, heard something. It was almost like the sound of footsteps, but it has to be the trees, right? "James, I uhh ... locked myself outside of the car," Kendall let out an embarrassed laugh. He could feel his face turning red. "Could you possibly come here with mama knight's car and help me?"

"All right, stay put. We'll be there soon."

"Okay, bye James." he hung up, slipping his phone into his pocket. Kendall's breath fogged up the window. As it unfogged, he could see his reflection.

Another face was seen in the reflection with a grin that gave Kendall a chill up his spine. Kendall's eyes grew wide with fear. He shoved his hand in his pocket for his phone, but it was too late. The nameless man hit Kendall at the back of the head with the butt of a pistol. Kendall's vision flashed black, and his vision faded. Kendall Knight was unconscious.

The man pulled a syringe out of his pocket that was filled with a clear liquid. He inserted it into Kendall's upperarm, and pushed the unknown drug into his system. The man's eyes glowed with insanity. He snickered, staring at the unconscious blonde's innocent face. The man's face turned to see a car's headlights coming his way. He got up and ran with the half-filled syringe, careful not to show his face.

Kendall was abandoned, left alone, unconscious on the cold concrete.

The door closed, Kendall has left to get smoothies.

"I wonder how long he's gonna take. I really want my mango smoothie!" Carlos couldn't stop thinking about it. Mangos were his favorite fruit!

"Carlos, be patient. You could've gone with him and helped him you know," Logan said, taking a look at a guilty Carlos.

"You could have too," James pointed out, sitting on the orange couch, turning the TV on.

"Yeah, yeah ..."

"Fellow citizens of LA, please be careful on the streets at night. There has been an up in the percentage of kidnappings and murders. Drive safe, and be safe. Now for the weather report,"

James slowly got up from his seat, glancing at his two friends. "Maybe we should call Kendall to see if he's okay,"

Logan nodded. "Oh, why didn't someone go with him? Now I'm nervous!" Logan paced back and forth. "Yes, call him. Maybe if we-" James' phone rang. He looked at the ID.

Kendall

James answered the phone. "Kendall, hey buddy. Need something?"

Logan and Carlos stared at James.

"All right, stay put. We'll be there soon." James hung up.

"Well? What did he say? Is he safe?" Carlos asked nervously.

"Yes, he's safe. He just locked himself out of the car," James half laughed and grabbed Mrs. Knight's car keys. "Let's go."

"Do you think our smoothies melted?" Carlos asked, trying to take his mind off of the up in percentage of murders and kidnapping.

"I don't know, 'Litos. If it is, we could always put it in the freezer," James smirked.

"FINALLY, we're here," Carlos jumped in his seat.

James turned into the lot, the headlights shining on something they hoped they would never see.

Kendall was flat on the ground with a small pool of blood surrounding his head. And a man that was near him took off.

"K-KENDALL!" James cried out. All three pushed the doors open, running towards their leader, tears welling up in all of their eyes. They surrounded Kendall's body, unable to speak words. "Kendall, b-buddy, wake up, okay? Come on Kendall, say something!" James patted Kendall's cheek, hoping he would come back to reality, but it was no use.

"I'll call 911," Logan shook out of himself. He hasn't spoken the whole car trip here.

James noticed a small gash on the back of Kendall's head. Some blood was coming out of his mouth too ... Carlos was shaking, his teeth were almost chattering. He never knew something this bad could happen to his best friend Kendall. It was going to be a fun movie night for them, hanging out, staying up late ... but now that's all cancelled because someone decided to make today the worst day of their lives. How could this have happened? Why Kendall?

"M-medical, please," Logan said to the phone. "M-my friend is on the ground, he-he's bleeding, he's unconscious, a-a-and-" Logan stuttered and wiped his eyes of the welling tears.

Carlos put his hand on Kendall's chest, tears now streaming down his cheeks. "K-Kendall," Carlos whispered to him.

Kendall's hand twitched.

James' eyes grew wide, he almost smiled. "Kendall's hand t-twitched!" he wiped his eyes. "H-he's still alive!"

Logan heard James and almost dropped his phone. "Y-yes, that's our location. Y-yes, thank you!" he hung up. "They're on they're way!" Logan ran over to James and Carlos and watched Kendall.

"He responded, his hand twitched, he's gonna be okay!" Carlos shouted.

"W-we don't know that-" Logan was cut off by the loud sirens.

Right on time. The ambulance pulled up near Kendall's body and pulled out a gurney to put him on. Several paramedics surrounded their friend. Carlos, Logan, and James backed up and made room for them. "Which one of you are coming with him?" one of the paramedics asked.

The three shared glances. Who would go with him ... Logan gave James a sad look. "You go, James ... you're the one he called on the phone,"

James' lips pressed together, giving Logan and Carlos an 'I'll see you there,' look. Before he climbed into the ambulance van, Carlos ran into his arms and shook with fear. James put his hand on Carlos' back and comforted him as best as he could. One of the paramedics called out for James to hurry. "'Litos, I have to go. Logan will take care of you while I'm gone,"

Logan put his hand on the latino's shoulder and gave James one last look. Soon enough, James hopped into the vehicle and they immediately drove off. Carlos and Logan ran to the car and followed the ambulance to the hospital. There was one thing running through Logan's mind.

Is he still alive.

I have given you guys a new story to hang off of! Pretty proud of this one, actually. It's been running through my head for a while now, and I'm glad I typed it down. ;) Review, please! Tell me what you think! Don't be afraid. It gives me a little boost when I read how you guys feel about this. What do you think will happen to Kendall? He was hit pretty bad in the head! A possible coma? I don't know, (yes I do) what do you think? ;)
