Chapter 16: Father Time Can Be So Cruel

A/N: Hay you guys, sorry I haven't updated the story the way I thought I was going to, I had some reviewing to do on some stories, you guys have to check out "Big Time Disney or so they thought" amazing story so far, it would be super if you all left a review , also you guys if you want me to check out your stories, please review and tell me the title of your story I will be glad to check it out , to be honest the last chapter I wrote when I was sleep deprived so I guess that's why I felt like I didn't like my last chapter…I'll try to make it up with this one.

Disclaimer: It is official, MeganPena841 did steal Carlos away from me, she admitted it….At least I still have Logan and James *muahahaha*, well I feel like I shouldn't be lowering my self-esteem saying this and I'm pretty sure a lot of authors who have to say this probably cut themselves saying this, but…I do not own Big Time Rush, *crawls to the darkest corner of the room* *sigh*

For the first time you can open your eyes, And see the world without your sorrow, Where no one knows the pain you left behind, And all the peace you could never find, Is waiting there to hold and keep you, Welcome to the first day of your life

Just open up your eyes as I lay you down tonight, Safe on the other side, no more tears to cry

Open Up Your Eyes-Daughtry

Snow's POV:

The events played in my head over and over again, like a broken record. I was now alone facing the ground.

Just staring at the kunai knife that I used to threaten Carlos recently, I hadn't realized that tears were on my eyes until I saw the puddle forming in front of me.

I tried to wipe my tears away, but I couldn't, they just kept on coming back and blinding my vision.

I started to shake uncontrollably, until I finally dropped the kunai knife to the ground.

The sound of the clatter echoed the room, I didn't even bother to move from this one spot, I was left frozen of what I had recently have done.

"You, have some nerve still standing here saying you had to do what you had to do to let Simon take off with Logan like that!" Megan's words echoed in my head along with others.

"YOU HAD TO! This lunatic took one of my best friends, and I don't even know where he's at with Logan…I…I…." I could still feel all the negativity that just happened and Carlos' tone of anger and sorrow as well.

How could I have stooped so low, I wanted to stab myself with the kunai knife for what new pain I had just caused.

Simon got into my head, he plaid my family into this mess; I had to do what I had to do.

My brain wasn't with me, I felt like I just killed someone, even though I hadn't I knew that Simon would.

I tried to get up from the ground, but I couldn't my legs had a sharp pain to them, and then I felt nothing.

"My leg's numb" I felt stupid saying that out loud with no one around to hear me out.

I tried to get up from the ground for the second time, but as I was half way up my left leg failed me and I fell on the mirror.

I heard a small crack and then I felt something cold run down by forehead.

As I checked to see what it was, my eyes widened.

I turned to the now cracked mirror; it was covered in blood stains.

"Owe" I felt like dud now, my legs were numb and my head was bleeding I just wanted to sit here and cry my eyes out.

Simon's POV:

Deep within the walls of where I was hiding, I managed to tie up Logan Mitchell from Big Time Rush into a stretch bed.

Luckily he was out cold and he didn't notice from where we ran off to, so I could safely say that no one would know where we trailed off to.

I turned and saw the utensil's that were placed from across Logan, these weapons were worn out and they look like they wouldn't do much damage to anyone.

So I decided to strap Logan on the bed and go off to find some useful tools I can use.

I grabbed my hat and cane and walked off into the night.

Once I got out, I tried to see if there was anyone around, I hadn't forgotten that the others were still in the park and I needed to get rid of them as well.

As I snuck out of the building I was in, I made my way out into the night to collect the materials I needed that would be necessary.

Logan's POV:

My eyes wouldn't open, but I didn't give up yet.

Slowly but surely I gained vision, I let out a grunt due to the sudden bright light on my face.

I tried to inspect the room I was in, but my vision was blurry.

I was going to get up and try to inspect the room some more but something was keeping me from moving.

I turned my head to the left and saw both hands restrained on the corners of the bed; I wouldn't want to call it a bed.

It felt like I was lying on concrete, it wasn't comfortable at all.

I didn't know where I was I didn't know what to do; suddenly everything came back to me.

Carlos, Snow, Simon, Megan, Amy, James, Kendall, everything came back to me like a distant memory.

I tried to kick my feet and found out that I was tied up from my legs as well.

I grunted again, and then my vision came much clearer.

I saw the room I was trapped in, to be honest it looked like one of those buildings where the killer or whoever the bad guy would take his victims.

The walls looked all moldy and the only furniture that was here was all rusty…in fact the room smells like a strong odor of metal.

My stomach started to hurt, and I wanted to get out of this crazy room fast.

"HELP!" the sound of my cry of help echoed the room and mocked me.

I felt a sudden breeze, and as I turned my head to see why, I saw a huge rip on my shirt and realized that maybe Simon was responsible.

I turned my head side to side to see where Simon was at, and nothing came to view.

I made a sigh of relief and tried to get off the holds of the metal restraints on my hands.

No matter how hard I tried it would be impossible to get out of these restraints, I needed a key and that seemed like the only thing that would work.

I tried searching for one across the room, but as I roamed my head across this horrible room, I saw something that caught my eyes.

There mocking me were tools, tools used only in surgery rooms…and some that were like normal house hold items.

But they all had something in common; they had the intention of being able to cut something…rather someone open.

I tried harder this time to get out of the restraints on me, it was no use, but this time I was panicking harder than ever.

"HEEEELLLPP! CARLOS! JAMES! KENDALL! ANYBODY!" I tried to scream as hard as I could to get anyone outside to hear my cry of help, but nothing.

A single tear fell across my eyes and I started mumbling out, "Let me go….please." how stupid of me, no one was going to hear me.

I yanked my hands more and more, but nothing again. How was I going to get out?

Carlos' POV:

My legs felt like they were tied up to boulders and I had to drag them while we walked.

The recent events that just happened kept on replaying in my head.

How? Why? I wanted to run, to run from everyone and try to find Logan, to get my hands on Simon and give him a taste of his own medicine.

I couldn't help but cry, the tears on my eyes kept on rolling down my cheeks.

James turned every time I sobbed to see if I was ok, but he knew that I really wasn't.

Kendall was busy trying to control Megan from going back to The House of Mirrors to try to go beat up Snow.

Snow, the last person I wanted to be thinking of, if it weren't the fact that Snow was a girl I would have done the same thing that Megan did.

As soon as I started thinking about Snow, a lot of negative things went into my mind.

And before I knew it my hands were going into a fist, but then the sting on my hand from when I hit the ground earlier made me realize that I was still injured from one hand.

We had past all the booths in the park and saw that everyone had gone home for the night.

We were the only ones in the circus now, searching for Logan.

I was so tired that I saw a bench and decided to sit on it to try to take my mind of the pain on my hands and feet altogether.

James turned around to see why I had stopped and just came back down.

"Carlos, we can't stop looking we have to find Logan before…" James paused and stared at me, I didn't realize I was crying again.

"Carlos, buddy if you want I can stay here with you until you gain control again." I turned to my hand that was wrapped around in Kendall's shirt.

He had tied my hand with it to stop the bleeding.

I tried to smile, but I started to cry on James shoulder again.

The thought that Logan was out there, being…tortured or worse…dead, kept me crying.

James put both hands on my shoulders and lifted me up.

"Hay buddy, don't worry Logan will be fine, we just have to work together." I felt like James didn't want to promise anything, because it was true why promise the impossible.

Kendall, Amy, and Megan came up close to us.

"Carlos, I'm sorry I wish I was the one Simon took….Logan ….he saved my life…I…." I stared at Amy who was now sobbing as well.

I couldn't help but try to reach for a hug.

She turned her head away and I hugged her, we were both sobbing now.

Then I heard Kendall, "Hay, if it makes anyone feel better, how bout we split up and try to cover up more ground that way we'll find Logan much faster."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, Kendall have you not seen any scary movies…we cannot split up!" James sounded scared as well.

"I know James but this is the only way we can get to Logan much faster and if we all are still together this might give Simon a much better chance to get to us quicker." Kendall was making a good point, but separation…that is risky.

I pulled away from the hug I had given to Amy and stared at Kendall, I didn't know what to say.

"So, who's with whom?" James just stared at Kendall as if Kendall was going to answer right away.

Then Megan spoke up, "I can go with Carlos and try to find Logan with him." Kendall stared at her puzzled.

"I thought you wanted to pair up with me?" I chuckled a little, but it felt like I had gravel in my throat to even laugh.

"Kendall, I do but for now we have to do whatever it takes to find Logan." Megan sounded sure of herself and she walked towards where Amy and I were standing.

"I'll stay here so that way Carlos can get some rest while James, Amy, and Kendall you guys search another place." Megan put her arms on me.

"Wow, Kendall Megan sure does sound like you." James chuckled and Megan kicked him in the gut.

"Ughh...see…just…like you." James coughed and tried to breathe in and out and catch his breath.

"I don't like the idea that you two will be the only ones together. You sure you don't want me to partner up with you guys?" Megan just smiled and hugged Kendall.

"Look Kendall I can take care of myself, you just have to trust me on this and don't worry about Carlos ok, we'll both be fine." Kendall rolled his eyes, it look like he finally admitted defeat.

"Fine, but call me if anything happens ok!" Megan pulled out her cell phone and shook it.

"Don't worry Kendall, I will." Kendall did a U-Turn and grabbed James on the shoulder.

"Come on let's go, the faster we search the sooner we get to leave this crazy place." Kendall, James, and Amy walked off.

All that was left of them was the shadows from the circus lights.

I turned to Megan and saw that she was smiling, what could she be smiling about? Especially of what just happened with Logan?

She was swinging her legs up and down, "Megan, why you all of a sudden-" I got trailed off when Megan just covered my mouth.

"Shh, I can't hear!" I was more puzzled than ever…what was she hearing that I couldn't.

"Megan what are you-?" Megan just placed her whole hand on my mouth.

"EWWWW! GROSS! CARLOS GARCIA WHY DID YOU LICK ME!" I smiled when she moved her hand away.

"Tell me why you're all of a sudden happy? There's nothing funny about what just happened Megan!" I was still mad not knowing why she was all perky.

"Well, Carlos, if you would stay quiet maybe I would try to figure where that sound was coming from." She placed her hands on her ears to try to signal that she was concentrating on the "noise" she was talking about.

Then I heard it as well, it sounded like someone was screaming…but from far away.

"Did you hear that?" Megan turned to me in response.

"LOGAN'S STILL ALIVE!" I turned and noticed that she was bouncing up and down.

I smiled a crooked smile and then I felt my smile wobble, I didn't notice that I was crying again.

"Ok, then now that we know he's ok, we have to try to find where he's at." Megan got up and started walking farther.

I didn't bother to get up, because she pushed me back to the bench I was sitting on when I tried to get up.

"Stay here, I need to see what direction to go." I stared at her just amazed that she had such amazing hearing.

She walked up and down, and then she yelled, "LOGAN! WHERE ARE YOU?" she then stayed quiet.

"Carlos, can you still hear it?" I nodded and heard from afar, "I….trapped." I knew from how I could barely hear him that he was a little far away.

"I can't hear him here." She walked to the other direction and yelled again, "LOGAN WHERE ARE YOU!" she stayed quiet once more.

"It get's louder this way." She jumped up and down more.

I just stared at her, she reminded me of…well me…I rubbed my head up and down the back of my head.

"Come on Carlos! We have to go this way!" I got up; I hadn't realized that we were heading towards the tent that Logan and I were once at.

"LOGAAAN!" Megan yelled out some more, and then I heard it, the sweet sound I wanted to hear.

"MEGAN! WHERE ARE YOU?" It sounded like Logan alright, I screamed ignoring the gravel like noise I made, "LOGAN BUDDY IT'S CARLOS WE ARE BY THE TENT THAT WE HAD INCOUNTERED SIMON!"

I was waiting for a response and nothing, then I heard another sound, "I'M NOT SURE WHERE I'M AT, I THINK…I THINK I'M UNDERGROUND SOMEWHERE….HURRY CARLOS I'M SCARED!"

I didn't know what to do, I mean we were closer to Logan, but we didn't know where exactly.

We heard footsteps coming closer and closer; Megan and I just stared at each other and tried to find a place to hide.

"Logan…somebodies coming, be quiet ok." Megan was trying to warn Logan, but I pulled Megan to a dark corner.

As I pulled Megan to the corner I was at, she landed on top of me.

"I…ugh…sorry…" I immediately turned red, then all that changed and the footsteps got closer.

Megan and I peeked from the corner afraid to get caught.

We saw the same magician's hat, the dark cape, and the cane…all too familiar, I wanted to jump and tackle Simon.

I wanted to force him to lead us to Logan, but something told me not to.

I guess Logan heard Megan's warning because Logan didn't responded back a reply at all.

Simon walked into the tent, and we followed along trying to figure the whereabouts of Logan.

Simon came close to a stop and turned all around to see if he wasn't followed.

Unfortunately he didn't expect that we would be there.

He opened a curtain, and there was a moldy old door behind there, he opened it, got inside and closed it.

"Oh, man we found out where Logan is at, what do we do now Carlos?" I turned surprised at Megan.

"Me? I don't even know what to do at this point!" we just stared at each other, and then Megan pulled out her cell phone.

The phone made two rings and then Kendall picked up, "Hello? Megan?"

Megan didn't know what to tell Kendall she wanted to try to tell him we had found Logan, but she knew it would be risky to tell him.

"Kendall, we found Logan….were going to get him out, meet us by the exit." She stared at me wondering if she had made a mistake by telling Kendall.

"Megan, don't try to do anything let James, Carlos, and I handle this. Where are you two at?" Kendall sounded much more worried.

Then the steel door from where Simon had been in opened.

My heart started to race and I closed the phone on Kendall from Megan.

Megan's eyes widened "Why did you do-" I pulled her next to a bunch of barrels and covered her mouth.

"Shhhhhh, be quiet!" I heard the door close again, maybe Simon heard noises.

Then screams started to be heard, I feared that they were Logan's.

"HEEEEELLP!" I started to shake, I wanted to bust the door open, but I was still frightened by hearing Logan's yelp for help.

Then I heard Simon laugh, I curled the only fist I had and hit a barrel, I didn't realize that I had made so much noise that I heard the steel door open again.

"Crap!" I whispered.

Simon peered out and tried to figure where the noise had come from, and then an idea hit me.

Simon disappeared from sight out from the tent, my guess in search for the noise, but why search anywhere else?

I didn't want to question, but take the opportunity to go inside and help Logan.

Kendall's POV:

I stared at the phone in shock…did Megan just hang up on me?

I stared back at James and Amy; they were waiting for an answer to why Megan had called in the first place.

"Megan said she found Logan." As I said that James eyes lightened up and Amy's guilt was lifted off her shoulders.

They hugged each other, then paused for a brief moment and pulled away.

I knew this was an amazing moment and all, but I still wanted to know where Megan and Carlos went off to.

I stared at the phone and I started fighting on whether to call back Megan or not.

I decided against it and put my phone away.

"So, what do we do now?" James just stared in wonder.

"We make our exit…." Amy and James just stared at each other and ended up getting lost on what I had just told them.

"I'll explain on the way." I said walking towards them.

Logan's POV:

It has been a while since I had recently heard Megan tell me to keep quiet, but then I saw Simon walk in.

He was holding a rusty knife and he was messing around with it.

He looked at me and saw the horror in my face, and then he got closer and started waving the rusty knife around like he was playing with it.

He laughed and my eyes widened when I saw that he was by my side, "HEEEEELLP!" I tried to scream so that Carlos and Megan would hear, but to no avail.

I started to shake uncontrollably and turned my eyes the other way as soon as Simon got closer to my arm.

Then I felt a sudden sharp pain in my left shoulder and I screamed so loud that I could have woken up the dead.

"Hmmm, not sharp enough…." I stared at him with my eyes half shut from the pain he had just given me with that infected knife.

He smiled and then a loud bang was heard from outside, he stared at the rusty knife and at the steel door, then got up.

He lifted my head up, "Trust me I'll be back."

Before he left he used the same knife to slash on my cheek, I grunted from the pain and now felt something wet drip from my cheeks.

It was obvious it was blood, but I was hoping it was water.

I tried to free myself with my right hand and nothing I kept on shaking I tried and tried to free myself.

Who was I kidding I was just wasting my energy trying to break free and nothing was even working.

I heard footsteps coming down the…stairs, I knew I was underground, but the footsteps just freaked me out even more.

What if it was Simon and Snow and they were going to finish me off here.

The footsteps got closer and then finally I closed my eyes praying that it was someone else, maybe a cop.

"Logan!" I heard Megan I was filled with relief, then I saw Carlos, he seemed dead beat tired, so was I but his eyes widened, "Aye, Dios Mio, Que Te Paso?"

I lifted my eyebrow a little still lost on what Carlos had just said. Megan got closer and started to observe the fresh cut that Simon had just created on my left arm and my right cheek.

"Did he do this to you Logie?" Carlos finally spoke in English, not that I didn't admire his Spanish, but he would use words that I didn't quite understand.

I didn't have the strength to nod my head, but I wanted to be released from the torture bed I was lying on.

"Megan take the right side and I'll take the left." Carlos ran to the left and started to observe the restraints I was in.

He looked around and saw some tools, but he looked more confused than ever.

I observed how Carlos was left wondering what each tool was meant to do; luckily he didn't have the slightest idea.

Finally, Carlos just gave up on trying to find the right tool and saw the rusty knife that Simon had used to….cut me with.

Carlos saw the blood stains and finally put two and two together and just dropped the knife on the floor.

"Hurry Carlos!" Megan was on lookout to see if Simon where to come back.

"These things are hard to tell what they're used for…!" Carlos grabbed a sickle and came back running to where the restraints were.

"I got you Logie." I just saw how Carlos just tried to place the pointed part of the sickle on the key hole, but to no avail he couldn't get it in.

In frustration he threw it as well to the floor.

I searched in panic to try to find anything to go through the key hole and set me free.

Then I hatched an idea, I turned to Carlos.

"Carlos, where's Megan?" Carlos looked at me puzzled, "On lookout why?"

"Go look out for Simon, bring her here!" I was in panic I wasn't sure how much time had elapsed when Simon had left.

Megan's footsteps were heard and she almost tripped, "You called Logan?"

"Yeah, Megan untie your hair." She reached for her bobby pin and took it off; I hadn't realized how long her hair was until she took it off.

"What now?" I searched somewhere; I knew that the key hole was a little deep so the bobby pin wouldn't be able to go through without getting lost in the hole.

"Quick, go get one of those metal wires and tie a knot on the end of the bobby pin!" Megan was pretty fast, she ran across the room to retrieve the metal wires.

She kept on trying to tie a knot on the end of the bobby pin, but failed most of the time, she was shaking and she would grunt every time she would miss the loop.

"HURRY MEGAN!" Megan finally successful tied up the knot and turned to face me.

"Now what?" I felt the pain come back from the cut Simon gave me earlier and I grunted in pain.

"Tie, the…other end to your index finger." I tried to finish my sentence.

She did it this time without any complications, then she stared at me and finally got the hint.

She ran to the right key hole and placed the bobby pin in the key hole and tried to get it in the hole, "I can't Logan, I'm all shaky…"I stared at her in wide eye.

"Megan you have to try please!" Finally Megan nodded and tried again, and finally had successfully placed the bobby pin in the key hole.

*Ker chunk* I heard the left restraints release my grip and broke my hand free.

I made pressure to my right hand; I placed my right arm to her signaling her to give me the bobby pin.

"Hurry Megan!" Megan quickly gave me the bobby pin and I started working on my way with the restraints on my left hand, I had to be extra careful because of the fresh wound Simon had given me earlier.

I was shaking as well, and found out that I had to give Megan credit for opening the right key hole after some failed attempts.

*Ker chunk* "YESS!" I was glad that both my hands were free now, then Megan worked on my left leg and finally got it off this time in one attempt.

*Ker chunk* "Come on!" Megan passed me the bobby pin and I worked on the last restraint, I heard footsteps and I started to shake.

Megan grabbed my shaky hand and helped me out with the last restraints.

"Come on, Come on!" the footsteps got louder and we were starting to shake even faster.

*Ker chunk* the last restraint was off, I got up and Megan and I started to head out the steel door, when Carlos was sent flying from the stairs into the room.

Then we heard Simon's demonic laughter from the stairs.
