A/N: Theres a twist in store for this chapter. One you never expected. One that'll have you wanting to beat the shit out the chacater if they were real! Who? Read to find out!

Bobby pulled the car to a stop in front on the blue house where Dakota played outside with her barbie dolls. He, Jack, and Angel got out of the car and began walking towards the sidewalk.

"Bobby!" squealed a small voice. Jack looked up, shading his eyes from the harsh sun, to find Dakota running towards them. Bobby threw his arms open welcoming her to her safe haven. Dakota began crying as her brother hugged her tightly. She could feel him patting her back, trying to soothe her. "I want to come home!" she sobbed onto his shoulder. Bobby sniffled and stood up, taking her with him. Dakota's sobbing became alomst hysterical.
"What's wrong baby?" Bobby asked. He looked at Jack and Angel. Their eyes seemed to tear. Worry flooded them, they could see that Dakota was shaking. Dakota just continued to sob. She couldn't tell them what was really wrong, she just let herself fall back into the shell she created as a little girl. One where she was safe. Where she cut herself off from the world. Jack walked over to Bobby and took Dakota. Bobby turned away to hide his tears.
"Please baby! Tell us whats wrong! Please!" Jack said. He bounced her slightly hoping and praying she'd tell. But Dakota wouln't break.

An hour later

Dakota watched through her window as her brothers left, she put her hand to the window as Jack looked at her. A sob escaped her throat as he put a hand to his window. Then they were gone, the back of the car disappearing around the corner.

"Did you tell them anything?" came a stern voice. Dakota jumped and turned to face her brother, Matt. She shooked her head furiously. She felt a lump form in her throat as she brother walked up to her.

"Good!" he said. He grabbed her hair and pulled it back. He brought his lips to her neck. Dakota's blood ran cold. A warm liquid ran down her legs and Matt chuckled slightly.
"Still pissing yourself I see!" he laughed. He picked her up and sat her on the bed. He put his hand on her inner thigh, raising his eyebrows suggestively. Dakota began to cry, feeling so scared. As Matt slowly inched her legs apart, she let out a small squeal, begging him not to. Matt slammed his hand over her mouth, breaking her lip open where the old scar had healed.

"Hush little sister don't say a word, big brothers going to buy you a mocking bird!" Matt sang. He had developed an obession with her when he was 16. Now at age 24 he still had that obession. The obession inspired by his father. Dakota sobbed as she reached beside her, grabbing the bat that Angel had left behind for her, seeing as she liked to play baseball these days. Matt let go of her mouth and unbuttoned her pants. He then turned his back on her, ready to go and lock the door. Dakota closed her eyes as she brought the bat down on Matt's head. She sobbed seeing the cut on his head and dropped the bat. Just then the doorbell rang. Dakota raced down the stairs, her nanny reached the door first and opened to reveal Jack and Angel.
"I'm sorry! I've gotta see my sister again! Please!" Jack begged, tears spilled from his own eyes. Dakota let out a loud sob, Angel looked into the house, gasping when he saw her red face and busted lip. The nanny looked behind her and bowed her head. She had her suspicions as to why Matt kept going into his little sisters room and why Dakota cried. But she never thought to inspect. Jack pushed the door open more and ran into the house. He picked up Dakota and began rocking her back and forth. He too began to sob, not knowing what exactly happened and not wanting to know.

"Look, I've heard her crying since she came, but I didn't know what to think or do! I'm sorry!" she said. Jack didn't say anything to the lady but began walking towards to door. Angel tensed himself, ready to fight if the lady din'd let Dakota go with them. They were both suprised as she stepped back and let them through. She knew what to do and waved them away. Jack watched as the door closed. His heart was thumping a mile a minute, now he knew what had been happening. Bobby got out of the car and came running when he saw Dakota with his brothers. Seeing her busted lip he charged for the door. Angel, Jack and even Dakota grabbed him.
"Let it go man! The cops will handle it!" Angel said. Bobby looked into the mismatched eyes of his little sister and felt as though he weres drowning in her innocence. It overwhelmed him greatly and he couldn't understand why this kept happeing to her. Taking Dakota into his arms, he turned and walked back to the car with his brothers behind him.

Hour later Dakota laid asleep in Jack's bed. Jack rolled onto his right side, proping himself up with his elbow. He looked down at his little sister. Her tiny hand was wrapped around her sippy cup while she sucked on the thumb of the other. Her small eyes fluttered and she wimpered. The signs of a bad dream. Jack reached over and stroked her hair softly. He began to rub her tiny baby soft hand. He gently took the sippy cup from her hand and compared his to hers. His heart soared as he looked at her hand in his. It was so tiny and to him it was beautiful. He felt like she'd been angel, an angel with her wings clipped off. Jack couldn't fight off the sleep that began to evade him. His eyes slowly began to shut. He fell asleep to the soft sound of Dakota's breathing.

Sorry guys and gurls, this is all I've got time for. I hope you like how I left it off! Sorry bout the rude awaking as to what Matt really was. A child molester. Yes, some off us now how they are and we cringe at the nightmares they give us. Please read and review!
