Hello. For those of you who are waiting for an update on 'The Xiaolin Nutcracker' Don't worry. You should see an update sometime next week. Until then, here's another chapter of J&TS! This time we get back to the others to try and find out Tori is, Jake reveals something, and we see the kind of torture that Blake is gonna do to her. I really hate to do that to Tori, but you know how Blake is, so I warn you: There will be a bit of blood. Enjoy!

Chapter 36: Of love and torture

"Jake... do you really think it was him?" Trina asked.

"It could've have been... could it?" Cubby also asked.

Jake frowned. "Who else could it be?"

The others exchanged looks. To them, especially the Never Crew, this was something that that evil pirate boy would do. He has abducted girls that Jake knew, including Izzy. So, it was no big surprise. After a moment of silence, Beck spoke up. "Well, if he's crazy enough to kill, then he's crazy enough to kidnap."

"But what would he want with Tori?" Cat asked.

That's when Jake realized what was going on. He knew that Blake knew about his 'crush' on Tori. Oh no... what if he tells her? Jake thought frantically. What if he hurts her? I can't let that happen. I save to save her! We ALL have to save her. "I have to save her! We all have to save her!" He blurted out, quoting his own thoughts. Everybody looked at him. He seemed really desperate to rescue Tori. But why?

"If Blake hurts her, he'll regret it. Big time." He whispered in a low tone. "I can't let him hurt the one I love."

"The one you love?" Trina asked. "You mean Tori?"

That's when Jake realized his slip up. Darn it! I'm so stupid! Jake mentally cursed himself. I guess I have to start explaining.

With that, he took a deep breath, and said:

"Well... you see, er... I have these some of... 'feelings' for Tori..."

Cat giggled. "Really? What kind of feelings?"

Without entirely thinking, Jake blurted out.

"I'M IN LOVE WITH TORI!"

There was silence as soon as the pirate boy said that. He covered his mouth in embarrassment, turning away as everybody stared at him. I've left them speechless. He thought. I'm such an idiot. The silenced seemed to last for a while, until Trina spoke up.

"Jake... that's not a bad thing."

Jake turned back to face the older Vega. "It... it's not?" He asked in confusion. Trina shook her head, smiling. "No. I mean, who's not in love with Tori? She is a beautiful girl."

"Especially with her cheekbones." Robbie agreed, turning away quickly when everybody stared at him in confusion.

"And her flowing hair is beautiful, too." Beck also agreed, causing Jade to glare at him, in which he shrugs response.

"And you can't turn away from those pretty brown eyes." Andre added.

Jake realized that everything they were saying was right about. No doubt about it. "But... I've never said anything about it... because we're both too far apart in age to... you know, get together. I'm twelve, and she's seventeen." He mentioned. Peter grinned. "So? Even though you can't date, that doesn't mean you can't love each other... like friends."

"Yeah." Izzy agreed. "I'm sure Tori feels the same way about you."

Jake sighed. "She doesn't know that I love her, and I don't know if she loves me."

"I'm sure she will." Jade assured him. "And I'm sure she's fine where ever she is. We'll save her."

Jake nodded. I sure hope so.

Meanwhile...

Tori's arms ached with pain. Blake had just made longs cuts on them with his knife (Not a dagger though). They were bleeding all over. As soon as he was done, he put the bloody knife away, reached into his bag, and pulled out a taser. Tori's blood ran cold. Oh no. That's sure to kill me. "Do you know what this thing is?" Blake asked.

"Do you take me for an idiot?" Tori asked sarcastically. "It's a taser. Duh!"

Blake responded by slapping Tori across the face. "Don't talk to me like that!" He warned, using the taser to shock Tori on her side. The teen gasped in pain. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" She whimpered. Blake smirked. "Good girl." He cooed. With that, he put the taser away, making Tori confused. He's only using the taser once? Even though that's a relief.

The girl watched as Blake grabbed a cloth, and tied it around Tori's mouth, preventing her from talking any more. She screamed, but it was muffled behind the cloth. Blake laughed. "What did you say? Oh wait! You can't talk! Ha! Ha! Ha!"

Tori glared at him with hatred, and he just smirked in response, along with these malicious words.

"You can glare all you want, but it won't stop me from hurting you. So you better watch out, Victoria Vega. Because for you... the worst is yet to come..."

Tori's glare turned into a look of sheer worry. The worst is yet to come? What was the worst? Whatever it is, she knew it was going to be bad. She closed her eyes, and tried to go to sleep. Blake smirked, and tied her wrist up again, making sure to hit any sort of cuts he made with the knife, just to tease and hurt her.

The boy stood back and examined the girl. She looked pretty miserable, and he liked it. Perfect. As long as she doesn't give me any sort of trouble, I won't necessarily have to kill her. Blake thought villainously. But, that doesn't mean I don't have to at least... torture her some. Mentally, and physically... but mostly physically. Jake better watch himself... cause I'm gonna get the others too. They soon realize that nobodies messes with me! Blake! Leader of the Dark Pirates of Never Land.

Blake gave Tori one last look before leaving out of the room. He figured he should let her sleep before he tortures her any longer.

Later that night...

Jake was having trouble sleeping. He was too worried about Tori. He could picture Blake abusing and taunting her in his head, and doing things that were unspeakable. He sighed as he got out of his sleeping bag. He figured he needed a cup of cold water and some fresh air outside. Before stepping out of the room completely, he looked back at Tori's empty bed. His heart broke as he stared at it.

Soon, he made it downstairs, where Trina was on her laptop. Just staring at it. "Trina! What are still doing up?" He asked. The older Vega turned around and looked at him with concern. "Couldn't sleep." Was all she said. Jake nodded in understanding. "Same." He replied to imply that that was his reason for being up in the middle of the night. Trina continued to look at her laptop.

"What are you doing?" Jake asked.

"Looking at places that Tori might be held hostage"

"Well, what have you picked up?"

Trina skimmed through some pages. "Okay... The Beverly Center, Hollywood Arts, Nozu, Karaoke Dokie, and...that's all I got."

Jake sat down beside her to look at the screen. "Do you really think Tori could be in any of those places?" He asked again. Trina shrugged. "I'm not sure. I just feel as if... she's in one of those places. But I'm not sure which." Jake patted her on the shoulder. "Don't worry... I'm sure you'll find it."

That's when Trina had an idea. "I know what to do. My dad's a cop. I can just call him, tell him that Tori's missing, and maybe he can help find her." Jake smiled. "Yo ho! That's a great idea."

"But I'll have to call him in the morning. It's too late for now."

Jake sighed. Don't worry, Tori. I'll find you... and save you...

Elsewhere, Tori wasn't getting much sleep either. Not just because of the pain, but also because she was scared. She knew Blake was probably gonna do somethings pretty awful to her, and it worried her greatly. Oh God! I hope the others can find me soon. I miss them... especially Jake. Gosh, Blake sure scares me- why am I afraid of a boy younger than me... because he's fierce? Whatever. I just wanna get out of here.

Tori tried to get to sleep once again, but the door opened. She quickly closed her eyes, sensing that it was Blake. It was indeed the evil boy, as he walked in. He kicked Tori in her side, causing her to shriek behind the cloth around her mouth. Blake grinned. "Sleeping peacefully?" He asked with a taunting tone. Tori glared at him again, and he laughed. "I'll take that as a 'no'." Then he grabbed her by her shirt, and pulled her face close to his.

"Listen, girl." He whispered in a dangerous tone. "As long as you don't give me many trouble, I won't kill you. But, I will take my precious time on torturing you mentally and physically... you don't have to hide your secret... 'cause I know you love Jake as much as he loves you.

Tori's eyes widened as he said that. He knew about that too?! Blake continued. "I've been watching you too... the way you stare at Jake... the way you talk to him... the way you help him... it's pretty obvious." Tori began to shake her head frantically, as a way to deny all this, but the evil pirate boy chuckled. "You may deny it, but I know... so, don't try to get away from here... unless you wanna die."

With that, Blake get go of Tori, and left the room. Locking the door behind him. Tori layed back down and closed her eyes. As she finally fell asleep, she had theses thoughts.

Oh... Jake, Trina, Izzy, Cubby, Skully, Peter, Andre, Cat, Robbie, Beck, and Jade. Please find me. Please save me... I know you can.

So, Jake finally revealed his certain feelings for Tori... but not to her yet. And it looks like Blake plans on tormenting Tori a lot. Poor girl. Again, I really hate to do this, but again, you all know how Blake is. Also, which place do you think Blake is holding Tori hostage at.

A.) The Beverly Center (A mall in Los Angeles)

B.) Hollywood Arts (The high school Tori and her friends attend in Victorious)

C.) Nozu (Resturant)

D.) Karaoke Dokie (Singing Place)

Tell me your guesses in a review. You will find out soon. Also, here's another chapter preview:

"If you're gonna do what I think you're gonna do, then you might as well forget it!" Tori snapped, pushing Blake's hand away from her shirt. Blake glared at her. "Don't. Tell. Me. What. To. DO!" He warned her. Tori scoffed. "You're not the boss of me." She retorted.

Blake snorted. "Well, you're not the boss of me either."

"But I'm older. And I'm wiser than a silly kid like you."

"Don't underestimate me!"

"Oooh! I'm so scared."

But what Tori didn't realize was being smart with Blake was not a good idea at all. "You teenage bitch! How dare you talk to me that way?!" Blake growled, his green eyes flashing dangerously. Tori, still failing to realize what she's doing, chuckled. "Oh. What are you gonna do? Beat me up? By the way, where did you learn that kind of language, young man?" She was talking like she was lecturing a young boy, and Blake didn't like it one bit.

The evil pirate boy made a reach for her shirt... only for her to push it away. Rage boiled in his blood. "That's it! PREPARE TO SUFFER THE MOST BRUTAL BEATING OF YOUR LIFE, TORI VEGA!" He shouted, now scaring Tori. Oh no... I probably shouldn't have said all that. She thought as he towered over her (She was sitting down).

"Blake..." She whimpered. "I'm sure we can settle this another way-"

"We're settling it my way..." Blake replied, his voice dangerous and low.

"Please!" Tori pleaded. "Don't beat me! NO-"

Oh jeez! Some chiz is gonna go down next chapter. I'll see you guys later. And don't forget to review please. Thank you. PS: Don't be too freaked out by Blake cursing (Despite him being young). He's a evildoer, and I'm sure a lot of evildoers do that.
