Hey! You can all thanks FreakierThanFreaks for this chapter, because if she hadn't asked me to write it, I probably wouldn't be right now.. Haha, okay, well, enjoy! :]

I don't own Big Time Rush.

Carlos happily rolled around on the fresh, green grass, giggling and trying to get James to join him. If he wasn't so nervous, James probably would have joined him instantly. However, he was scared to death. Scared for Kendall, Logan, and especially Katie. He was tired of his sister getting hurt and being afraid, and he wasn't ready to see how she would act when the Winters were finally locked up for good.

"Carlos, how could you possibly be happy right now?" he asked in disbelief, sighing as his friend let out a cry of joy.

"We're getting Katie back again! And it's only been a day! She's probably not even hurt!" he exclaimed. James raised his eyebrows, debating whether or not that could be true, before he sighed once again.

"Please don't say that, Carlos," he said quietly. Carlos gave him a confused look as he sat up in the grass.

"Why not?"

"Because...we don't know if she's hurt or not. For all we know, she could be dead!" he told him.

"Don't say that!" Carlos yelled. "I don't want Katie to be dead! I'm sure she's fine!" James gave his friend a sad look.

"Well, don't get your hopes up," he replied quietly. "If I could, I would be saying exactly what you're saying and having fun with you, but I'm scared. If we act like everything's okay, I'm afraid it won't be..."

"James, we gotta stay positive! Right? Because we both know Katie can-"

"Carlos! James!"

The two boys turned around and saw Logan running toward them, panic written across his face. Worry worked its way through them as Logan collapsed by their side, panting.

"They...they...have...they have...K...Kendall..." he gasped.

"What? Wait, why? Did you find Katie? Is she okay?" James asked quickly, grabbing Logan's shoulders. Logan took big, deep breaths for a minute before answering.

"Yeah, we found Mr. Winters attacking her! Kendall went in to try to help, but they were saying they were gonna kill him! And Katie!" he explained.

"No!" Carlos yelled. "Did you call the cops?"

Logan nodded. "I did, but I don't know how fast they're gonna get here!"

"Well, let's hope it's soon..." Jamess mumbled.


"You know, I really thought you were going to listen to me," Mrs. Winters started, "but I should've known you would come back for your stupid sister..."

"Shut up," Kendall muttered, gritting his teeth.

"Don't tell me what to do!" Mrs. Winters retorted. She picked up a knife and inspected it, teasing Kendall as she held the blade out for him to see. "Want me to kill her fast?" she asked.

Kendall struggled in Mr. Winters' arms, trying to escape. "Leave her alone!" he shouted.

"I said don't tell me what to do!" Mrs. Winters yelled back. She turned to Katie and held up her knife. "Now, Chris, where do you think I should start?" Carefully, she placed the knife on the ground and yanked Katie up. The small girl's eyes widened and she whimpered.

"Stop!" Kendall yelled. "Please!"

Katie looked over at her brother, and her eyes widened even more. Mrs. Winters picked up the knife again and held it to Katie's neck.

"Every time you speak, I will cut her even more! I'll make her death slower and more painful with every word! Now, shut up!" Kendall stared at Katie, who was breathing hard and whimpering. "Chris, what do you think?"

Kendall heard Mr. Winters chuckle beside him. "I think we should torture the boy a bit, Molly. What do you think about that?" he said with a smile. Mrs. Winters returned the smile immediately.

"Sounds great!" she chirped.

Kendall glared at them. "Go ahead, hurt me! I don't care!"

Molly and Chris burst into laughter. "You think we're gonna hurt you?" Mrs. Winters asked. "Stupid boy, we're gonna hurt your sister, and you'll just have to watch!" she laughed. Kendall shook his head.

"No, I swear-"

He was cut off when Mr. Winters put his big, beefy hand over his mouth. He continued to struggle, but Chris' grip on him just tightened. So Kendall was forced to watch as Mrs. Winters threw Katie on the ground and kicked her. He could hear his sister crying, but Molly continued to beat her up. It wasn't until he saw the knife in Mrs. Winters' hand when he began to struggle again.

"Watch this, big brother!" Mrs. Winters teased as she pushed Katie so she was right in front of him and started to cut her arms with the knife. Kendall thrashed around in Mr. Winters' arms when he saw Katie's blood, and a tear slowly slipped down his cheek. Katie was no longer crying or trying to stop the woman, for she was lying perfectly still on the ground as Mrs. Winters hit her.

Panicking, Kendall bit down hard on Chris' hand. He let go, cursing loudly at Kendall, and the blonde quickly ran away. He ran straight towards Mrs. Winters, ignoring the 'boys can't hit girls' rule, because these people had broken it many times before, and knocked her to the ground. She was so shocked at what he had done that she didn't get up when he scrambled away from her and towards Katie.

Tears streaming down his face, Kendall pulled Katie into his arms. He felt for her pulse, sighing in relief when he felt it. As he stood up, he felt her shaking. And the last thing he felt was his heart breaking before he was knocked to the ground by Mr. Winters.


"Logan, where are they?" Carlos asked impatiently as he looked up and down the street for the police car.

"I don't know, Carlos. Just wait, they're coming," Logan assured him, even though he was trembling with fear. Kendall and Katie could both be dead by now.

Suddenly, James and Logan heard a soft sound come from Carlos. They looked over at him to see a tear racing down his cheek. He quickly wiped it away and sniffled, attempting to hide the fact that he was crying.

"Carlos? You okay, buddy?" James asked softly. The smaller boy nodded and hastily wiped at his eyes again.

"I...I just don't want them to get to hurt..." he replied. "Do you think they'll be okay?" he questioned, staring into his friends' eyes. James scooted over to his side and wrapped his arm around him.

"Do you really think Kendall will let Katie get hurt?" James asked. Carlos shrugged, a tiny smile appearing on his despondant face.

"I don't think so..." he answered, "but what if Kendall gets hurt?"

"He'll be fine, Carlos," Logan promised. "Don't worry..."


Kendall hugged Katie close to him, squeezed his eyes shut, and tried his absolute hardest to ignore Mr. Winters' screams. Thoughts raced around in his mind, but the only thing he was sure of was that he had to get Katie out of there before Chris or Molly pulled out their guns.

"...AND IF YOU THINK YOU CAN EVEN TOUCH MY WIFE, THEN I GUESS WE AREN'T FINISHED WITH YOUR SISTER YET!"

Kendall tightened his grip on Katie and slowly opened his eyes to find Mr. Winters getting ready to grab Katie again. Kendall rolled over and dodged the man's punch, but was hit in the face a moment later by Mrs. Winters.

"GIVE US THE GIRL!" she screamed.

"No!" Kendall shouted. "You can't hurt her anymore! Go ahead and do whatever you want to me, but don't touch her!"

Please don't take out any weapons, please don't take out any weapons... Kendall thought, holding onto his sister with all his strength.

As if Mr. Winters had read his mind, he pulled out his gun and pointed it straight at Katie. Kendall wrapped her even tighter in his arms and tried with all his might to shield her from the deadly object before he was pulled away from her. He screamed as loud as he possibly could, but Mrs. Winters had a strong grasp on him.

"We thought you would learn your lesson," Molly growled, "but clearly, you won't learn until she's dead!"

She held his head so he was forced to look at his little sister and Chris. Mr. Winters was still pointing his gun right at her head. Kendall's mind was spinning. He knew it was over. In a few seconds, she would be gone. Forever.

Kendall squeezed his eyes shut tightly. He couldn't watch. It would hurt him way too much. Molly and Chris were laughing loudly. A fresh, hot tear escaped his eye.

He heard the gunshot and a scream before he fell to the ground.

AHH. Okay, don't hate me for leaving it there! I'm going to start the next chapter right away! :] I hope you all liked this!

Review? :D
