I don't own Cars or any characters, just Rocket and Jen.

When Rocket woke up, he was back in Doc's clinic and he could tell that it was night without even looking at the window. It took him a little while to clear his head but when he did, he suddenly realized that Jen was nowhere in sight. He closed his eyes as he tried to contain his panic. After he found out what that man was doing to Jen, he hardly ever left her side for more than a few minutes at a time.

His eyes remained closed as he remembered that horrable day and the promise he made to her.

Flashback

" It hurts Rocket. It hurts so much." Jen whispered as she rocked herself against his tire.

Rocket looked sadly at his sister. He was her big brother, he was suppost to protect her, not let her continuesly get hurt. " Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you tell anyone? I could have done something, anything to stop him."

" You did stop him Rocket."

" But just for today. We have to tell the other villagers about this so he can be punished."

" Rocket, you and I both know that no one in the village will help me. That man is the leader of them and I'm the evil one that should have died," Jen explaind as she pointed at the village in the distance, " After all, look at all the things that happened since I was born."

He knew Jen had a point. If anything bad happened, from a child getting a simple cut to the crops dying, Jen was automaticly blamed and punished. " I promise Jen, I will never let him or anyone else hurt you again."

" But Rocket, if you do that you'll be punished too!"

" I don't give a damn. The worst he can do is give me a couple of dents." Rocket reved his engine to cut off any protest from Jen. " Now close your eyes and get some rest. Like I said, I'll protect you."

End Flashback

" He's back Rocket. He found us."

Rocket's eyes snapped opened as he yelped and tried to scramble away. He felt his engine kick into overdrive and as he tried to get away, he knocked several things over. He turned towards the voice and found Jen sitting up on two padded tables that where pushed together. " Jezz little sis, give me engine failer why don't you?"

She chuckled dryly at him before giving a shrug. " Sorry, I'll give you a warning next time. But seriouly bro, he found us. He followed us from the village to here."

" I know. He's the only one with the type of gun that can shot from more than a hundred yards...Look, lets talk about this in the morning, alright? We both need to get some sleep."

" Rocket, I don't want to put anyone here to get hurt because of us."

Rocket was about to answer when there was a loud bang outside. Jen and Rocket looked at each other before Jen got off the tables and climbed on top of Rocket while pressing her hand against her wound. " You sure you want to come with me?"

" Don't be daft! There is no way I'm staying by myself in here with him running around." She crossed her arms over her chest as she sat down on his hood.

" Good point...and I'm not daft." Rocket mumbled to himself as he pushed through the doors.

Sorry it took me so long and that the chapter is so short. This is a look into Jen's and Rocket's past so enjoy!
