Hello. I just finished a big project for my online History class, so forgive me if I sound so dull. Brain tired, I'm half dead. Still, I'm going to write more for 'Is He a Heartbreaker?' because this next chapter reveals...just how bad Kendall's break-up with James has broken James. And...he's not the same anymore. Well onward to the new chapter. Thank you to Kames all the way for reviewing the last two new chapters. I hope this chapter isn't as bad as the last one...Disclaimer: I don't own Big Time Rush. All I own are posters of them, ten total. That's all I own, but I don't own Big Time Rush. I also only own the plot of this story. Enjoy. Sorry that this chapter was short, I'm kind of on a tight schedule today but I might be able to write a longer chapter tomorrow...
A whole month went by.
A whole, long and cold month. It was now December.
The world outside was cold, dull, bitter and dead-looking.
Much like how James Diamond has felt inside since his fiancee left him.
Kendall Knight, James' ex-fiancee, looked as bad as the brunette did but tried his best to keep up appearances. He didn't want anyone to see him so destroyed; he didn't want James to see how broken he was from leaving him.
No one knew about the broken-off engagement, except for Lucy, Katie and Jett. Everyone thought James and Kendall were still together, but they were worried about the severe and lasting tension between the two. They had no idea that everything between the two once-lovers was dead.
And no one knew, including Kendall, also that James...was not the same anymore.
He was dead. He no longer held back in killing.
In fact, he took it more seriously now; after all, what was he to do when the person that kept him sane was now out of his life?
Now, the only thing that made some emotion spark alive in him...was, was to kill.
And he did just that; in only two weeks, he murdered twenty-two people. Some were people Griffin had assigned him, but a majority of them had been random stangers on the streets. Some had been men, some women and children. Differences in gender, age, nothing made someone innocent to him. To him, they were all targets.
Each and every one of them.

"We have to do something, and fast." Lucy hissed to Jett, too nervous to drink from her water bottle.
They along with James were in the secret base, just finishing up an early morning training session. It was a gloomy Saturday, the first Saturday of December, and despite all the Christmas cheer already in the air, the three were not exactly jolly.
Jett nodded, eyeing the silent (James went mute the day Kendall broke up with him) brunette cleaning his twin katanas slowly, carefully at his locker.
James, James was different.
He was quiet, he hardly ever talked now. He abandoned Jett's plan to take out Griffin, in fact he followed the bastard's orders now more than ever. He's murdered people outside his assigned 'jobs' and didn't give a damn, he almost killed Lucy when she tried to snap him out of his murderous stupor. He showed hostility towards anyone that came near, except his mother Brooke, and kept to himself. He kept his grades up, so he didn't get into trouble at school, but even his teachers (excluding Kelly, who had a faint clue as to what was going on with him) noticed a drastic change in the once overconfident, often self-absorbed yet kind-hearted young man.
It was like he was another person; same face, very different personality.
"I can't believe Kendall breaking up with him left...left him so destroyed." Lucy added, keeping her voice down; she doubted James would easedrop though, he tended to tune everything and everyone out sometimes.
Jett gave the rocker girl a light glare. "Lucy, Kendall was practically the only person keeping James sane. Without him, James has no reason to hold back and step down from his mercenary life. When Kendall left, he took James' heart and good side with him. All that's left now is the killer Griffin made him become, just without limitations. Kendall was the person keeping him from becoming a monster." He said, tone slightly hard.
Lucy wouldn't understand, her girlfriend was missing. She had no idea what James and Jett had on the line, and how badly they would be left broken if they lost their loved ones.
Well if Jett losted his loved one, his Dak. James has already lost the only person that kept him sane, that kept the drug's full effects from posioning his brain.
And the drug's full effects kicked in the day Kendall left...
"James...?" Jett called out, leaving Lucy's side to touch the brunette's left shoulder; the blonde flinched when his fingers were soon painted red.
James rarely cleaned himself of the blood from his victims nowadays...
"What?" Even his voice was wrong; it was robotic, empty and thin.
"James, we need to-"
"Leave me alone. Griffin's calling." James said, the comm. watch on his right wrist blinking.
"But James, I-"
"Shut up!" Lucy nearly screamed when Jett fell to the floor, eyes wide as he clutched a new bright red bruise on his cheek.
James' eyes were pitch black; they've been that way since Kendall left him. "I said to leave me alone." Was all he said in a feral growl before stalking out of the locker, his teammates too stunned to say anything at his back.

"What is it, Master?"
Griffin smiled at the title; James has been using it for a month now, and he knew why.
That hideous blonde man-bitch left his step-son. After waiting for so long, that brat was out of the picture. Well almost.
'Perfect.' He thought briefly before turning his back to the brunette, who was all suited up with a bowed head.
"I have an job for you, boy. A very special job, more important than the petty ones I've sent you on for the last few days." He said, he smirking when James reloaded his guns.
"Really sir, and what makes this job so 'special'?"
"Because you'll be taking out a nuisance I've wanted dead for years now. I couldn't touch him before, but now I can. You will have the honor of killing him, I thought long and hard about this before choosing you for this assignment. Not only are you to kill this one individual but his whole family, I want no trace of them left behind."
"You're asking me to do my job, sir. You know I make people disappear forever, well who's the target and his family?"
"Simple, my boy. You are to take out Kendall Knight and his family." Griffin said.
That alone made a spark of emotion enter James' eyes, though they were much to dark to see if the soft, gentle hazel-green was back for a moment.
Silence followed afterwards, Griffin tapping his foot in annoyance before he heard James let out a laugh, mask above his lips to expose a bloody, evil smirk.
"Oh what fun, sir! Leave it to me, I'll make sure nothing is left of his family and him. In fact, I think I'll pay him a final visit tomorrow night; let him one more good night's sleep before...before it's all over."
