Another chapter for my K.B. series! Enjoy, and trust me I plan to get a few in before the year ends! On with the chapter…

Emotions to Control:

We were all in complete shock. The sirens and lights filling the neighborhood, and all were in front of her house. We ran to the house, to which the police were now putting up yellow tape to keep us, and the other neighbors back. Of what I saw of the scene, I was fearful she was gone. There was blood drops on the pathway and street, a knife in the street with blood on it, and her father on the floor with the police putting him in cuffs. I glanced at Brianna, who was now on the brink of breaking down. Jackie, Loraina, and Nicolette were already in tears, but Brianna, the twins, Kyle, Mouth, Gunther, and me… we were trying not to break. Especially Brianna… and me. Our mom came up to Bri and me, holding our shoulders. The police were yelling at her father the whole time, trying to get him to answer questions.

"Mrs. Buttowski…" An older woman came up, her dog still in her arms.

"Ms. Chicarelli… was it you who called?" My mom asked, her voice soft and sad.

"Yes… I heard screaming and some loud noises that were disturbing my sleep…" She answered just as sad. "The music from your house was fine… but I…" She looked down. "I didn't know or expect this to have happened… the poor girl."

"Do the cops know where she is?" Our other neighbor, Mr. Vickle came up. All of the neighborhood was here practically.

"He won't tell them…" I was pissed, hurt, afraid, and feeling so many emotions right now. My mom's hand on my shoulder was the only thing keeping me right here.

"Where is she?!" Jackie came up, hysterical, yelling at her father. "Where's my friend?! Where's Kendall!? What have you done with her?!" Gunther tried to hold her back.

"Jackie…" He kept his arms around her.

"Let me go! Tell me where she is! Where is my friend you monster!?" She was fighting in his, tears running down her cheeks, yelling at the man who wouldn't answer. The only pissed me off even more.

"Gunther get her out of here." Brianna glanced.

"No! Where is she?! Stop! Let me go! Kendall!" Gunther picked her up, heading away from the scene. Brianna glanced back at the twins, Loraina, and Nicolette.

"Get them out here." I said, still trying to be strong. Brianna glanced at me. The twins must have listened, knowing it was the best option because I turned and saw them taking the girls away from here. "You too Brianna…" I glanced at her.

"I'm not leaving." She answered harshly.

"Brianna." I spoke again.

"No! I'm not leaving until I know." She was even more upset, more tears coming down. Mouth came up, holding her. I glanced at my cousin, who was coming up to us.

"Kyle…" He looked at me. I looked at the sky and he understood. It started to sprinkle, and I glanced back at the scene.

"Do you know where she is?" Kyle was just as sad. My mom sighed.

"Brianna, Kick… I need you two to focus…" She told us, softly. "Focus on the objective to find her. Where is she?" Brianna was too distraught to focus, replaying the events from his mind, and her feelings. She couldn't focus, but right now I needed to. Was I pissed, beyond the point… but right now I need to find her… so where did she go? I closed my eyes, clenching my fists as I replayed the events, then I found my answer. My eyes shot open.

"Go." Brianna couldn't look at me. "Find her." I nodded, glanced at mom and we both nodded.

"Kyle, honey… more." She told him as I started to run off. As I did the rain started to get a bit heavier.

I ran in the direction she did. I found some blood drops to help guide me, until I reached the woods that led up to Dead Man's Drop. I continued to look, going up the trail. I found both of her shoes, so I must have been going in the right direction.

"Kendall!" I called for her the whole time. "Where are you?! Kendall!?" That's when I heard the rustling. "Kendall…" I followed the sound. I was running more and more until I was at the ledge of Dead Man's Drop. I stopped, there she was. Her body looked a wreck, and when she turned to face me, she had a branch in her hands. She was afraid… she was afraid I was him. "Kendall…" I spoke softly. "It's okay… Hey it's okay….it's me….your friend…Kick…" I swallowed, she still looked on the defensive. "It's Clarence…. Clarence Buttowski." I kept my hands up so she could see I wasn't a threat. "I'm not here to hurt you…I'm a friend…." She lowered the branch, then it just dropped.

"…Kick…" She breathed before passing out.

"Kendall!" I quickly caught her. I held her in my arms, holding her close. Her body had blood, welts, bruises, cuts, and marks all over it. I picked her up bridal style, and ran out of there. I might expose us, but right now she needs medical attention. Once I cleared the woods and started to come into places where people were, or where I could be seen, I ran regularly. I made it to our neighborhood, with her in my arms. She was as light as a feather.

"There she is! Get a gurney stat!" A police officer ordered. They ran over to us, Brianna, and the other trailing behind.

"Check her vitals stat!" I placed her on the gurney as they started to check her. The police officer looked at me. "We need to get her on the ambulance and to the hospital stat!" The medic declared.

"You did good." The officer nodded at me.

"Does she have any family we can call?" The medic directed his attention at me. My mind went blank. Then I glanced at her, now, smug father. My blood just boiled.

"Yes. She has a sister named Linnie." My mother answered, interrupting us. "I already called her, and she will be here at the hospital shortly." The medic nodded.

"Kendall!" Jackie came running but Gunther grabbed her. She was crying so much.

"Are we allowed to go with her?" I asked

"I'm sorry to say but no. Only family is allowed." The medic answered. "He glanced at my mom. "Hopefully her sister will keep in touch." He climbed into the ambulance and they were on their way. I glanced at the police, who were still holding her father. My blood just boiled even more. His look, his stance, his thoughts… I wanted to kill him.

"Kick." Gunther grabbed my shoulder, holding me back. He stood in front of me. "Don't."

"Do not hold me back Gunther." I harshly whispered. His grip tightened.

"We're in front of people… let's not be reckless." Gunther retorted, just as harsh. He could feel my anger.

"Get him out of here!" The police officer ordered. "Put him in lock up!" They placed her father in the back of the police car, and were off.

"I think it's best Mrs. Buttowski if we clear out." Mrs. Chicarelli told her. My mom nodded. My dad came up to us and whispered in my mom's ear.

"Alright…everyone let's head back to the house." She spoke. Mouth had Brianna, while the adults walked together. Gunther was with me, then hugged Jackie, helping her as well. Kyle was walking close to us. We made it back inside, and my stomach was turning.
