Chapter 17: The Great Escape
A/N: So, as most of you already know, I'm on the works on my next story "Big Time Competition". I have gotten so many submissions so far, it makes me happy that a lot of you would like to be a part of the upcoming story *turns away* *sniff*. Oh, FYI before I keep this to myself, for those of you living in Dallas, Logan's in town for the holidays ha-ha woops…oh and I believe Carlos is in Casablanca with his family…I have no clue on the whereabouts of Kendall and James, but you're welcome for the Logan and Carlos updates. I fear that with the upcoming story I might have to multitask a bit, so I decided that after this story I will make an update on "Big Time Competition" so be on the lookout for that. Make sure to submit your O/C on the review section so I'll know ok….well I shall continue this story I have rambled way to long….
Can't swallow our pride, Neither of us wanna raise that flag, mmm, If we can't surrender, Then, we're both gonna lose what we have, oh, no
Both hands tied behind my back for nothing (nothing), oh, no, These times when we climb so fast to fall, again, I don't wanna fall for it, now...
Battlefield-Jordan Sparks
Mrs. Knight's POV:
I tried to focus on the task; it had been awhile since I had woken up from my sudden faint attack.
Thanks to my wonderful daughter for splashing me with a bucket filled with ice cold water…now I knew how Logan had felt.
"Mom, did you not just here us out?" Katie was trying to pick up the phone, but Stephanie kept on putting it back on the orange sofa.
"Wha-" I was lost from the sudden events that had just happened, "I could have sworn that I heard Katie say that she knew the man on the TV" I pointed at the television set and it was on commercial.
"Uh…yeah mom I just said that he was the one who suggested that I go to the circus, he gave me the flyer. Which I gave to Kendall, Logan, James, and Carlos, and then they went off to the circus. Now if you don't excuse me I have to make the call so that way we could claim our prize!"
I gave Katie my look of disapproval, and she placed the phone back on the orange couch.
"Relax I wasn't going to really just get the money mom, I was going to call the authorities so they could find my brother and his wacky friends." Katie let out a huff and I just smiled in satisfaction.
"Go ahead honey, but make sure you tell them the address on the flyer…the sooner the better." She smiled and picked up the phone.
Mr. Garcia's POV:
"I'M NOT ASLEEP!" I woke up from the sudden phone ring from the office I was asleep in.
I hadn't noticed that I had crashed to the floor as I got up to retrieve the phone.
My hand made a couple of trips grabbing papers on the desk, "Hello?" I didn't hear a response, and then I realized that I was holding a stapler….man if my son were here he would have laughed at this sudden mistake.
I finally reached for the phone on the desk, "Los Angeles Police Department, how can I help you?" I was still chuckling a bit from my childish mistake when I heard Katie on the other line.
"Mr. Garcia? It's Katie! Wow, what a surprise, oh wait I forgot what I was calling you for now." I was glad Katie had called but if she called, then something was terribly wrong with one of them.
My sudden thinking was trailed off when Katie spoke up once again, "Oh, yeah I remember now, remember that report on the lunatic that is roaming around LA?" I nodded, but then realized she couldn't see me, "Yeah, do you know the whereabouts of the person Katie?"
I wish she didn't know, but she must have, this couldn't be a prank call now would it? I feared that my son would be involved in this.
"Of course Mr. Garcia I wouldn't be calling this late if I was just making things up now would I?" I stared at the phone, "I wouldn't know Katie."
She giggled on the other line and then I heard paper from the other line, "Mr. Garcia, Kendall, Logan, James, and Carlos might be in more danger than I though." I shook at those sudden words Katie had just told me.
"What do you mean Katie?" I was now more confused at the fact that my son could be in more danger than he usually would be in due to him trying to run into everything.
"You see, Mr. Garcia, I was in the Palm Woods lobby and this guys he was wearing a black magicians hat, and he was wearing a cape, not to mention a black cane, he came out of nowhere and offered me a flyer and well, when I got back from the lobby I just gave it to Kendall and his friends and well…"
Katie didn't want to finish the sentence from her sudden tone of voice of disappearance.
"Yes?" I was still writing things down; so far if what Katie said was true then this probably be the only league we would have on catching this culprit all night, I hated the fact that my son could possibly be one of his victims.
For a moment Katie had stayed quiet and didn't respond, my guess was that she didn't want to get into any more trouble than she was with what she was going to tell me.
"They all went off the that circus thing and well, the guy on the screen looks a lot like the guy that showed me an invite to the circus they went off to, so I guess he should be there." Katie just paused again waiting for my reply.
"Ok, Katie what's the address to the circus on the flyer you have?" I wrote down the number that Katie had told me on the phone, and I was hoping we could catch this guy before anyone else gets hurt, or worse my son and his friends.
Kendall's POV:
We were standing by the exit, just like Megan had told us to, but we didn't have a clue where Megan or Carlos were at.
We didn't even know if they knew exactly where Logan was either.
Amy started to sob a bit more and more every minute that passed by, I wanted to see more than anything, Carlos, Megan, and Logan appear from the distance.
I knew inside that something was wrong, I just wasn't sure what.
I had forgotten that Carlos gave me the axe he took from Simon when he threw it at Snow…
Something tells me this day wasn't far from over.
"Where could they be?" James brushed his hand through his hair, he looked worried but he knew he had to pull a straight face when he was with Amy.
James wanted to be the one that could protect Amy, but I knew better that he was nervous and scared at the same time.
"I'm not sure." I took out my phone again and searched for Megan's number….I wanted to call her to see if she was ok…but what if they were sneaking around.
I paced back and forth trying to figure out what to do, I was on the verge to scream and throw my phone in anger, but I instantly got a text from Megan.
I jumped at the sudden response with the text and saw in bright lights "New Message from Megan" I opened my phone and read the text.
"Kendall, were on our way!" I smiled a little, I wanted to go and find them, but I had no clue on the whereabouts of where they were at.
Logan's POV:
Carlos flew from across the room and a loud bang was heard when he landed on his back.
"CARLOS!" Megan and I rushed towards Carlos to help him up, and then we heard the footsteps get closer to where I was at.
"Congratulations, you have now made me a bit angry, who said I was letting you go that easy." As I turned to see where Simon was at, I was pinned against the wall in an instant.
"I should have killed you when I had the chance, now I have to do double the work!" Simon's tone of voice sounded like he was fed up.
He looked at the cut that was still running on blood and stared back at me and smiled so maniacally.
"It's a matter of time before you're finished with." He took out something from inside his black cloth; it looked like a ball of cotton.
By the looks of it, it was already wet.
"This would do the trick!" he smiled and placed the ball of cotton on the cut he had made earlier.
The pain started aching my left shoulder and I couldn't help but scream.
"LOGAN!" I just heard Megan scream from the background, the pain of the fresh cut was giving me enough pain to try to wiggle out free.
I failed, I couldn't get loose and the longer Simon had whatever he had put on that cotton on my fresh cut, the more pain I felt by the second.
*Bam*I fell to my knees holding on to my cut, as I saw Megan try to wrestle with Simon on the floor.
I heard grunting from all directions, from Carlos trying to recover from the sudden lift, and Megan and Simon going at it on the floor.
I was trying to get up, but it turns out whatever was in that cotton ball was now affecting my whole left side and it made it harder to move.
"MEGAN DON'T! YOU'LL JUST GET YOURSELF KILLED!" I hated only being able to scream and warn Megan, but that's all I could do from my standpoint.
I heard someone scream and charging, it sounded like Carlos.
I turned slowly and saw that Carlos was heading straight for Simon.
The scene flashed before my eyes as both Megan and Carlos were wrestling with Simon, I started trying to play around with my toes inside my shoes.
I needed to see if I could feel them, turned out I could move them.
I tried to move my leg a little and barely but surly I got my legs moving.
The only problem was my left shoulder as it was really difficult to move and I groaned in pain every time I tried to move it.
Everything was silent and I heard footsteps walking towards to my direction, I moved my head a little up to see who was in front of me.
"Need help buddy?" Carlos and Megan were standing next to each other and they both reached out their hand to try to help me.
Carlos had some blood stains on his cheeks and some on his shirt.
I hadn't realized that Carlos had a shirt wrapped around his hand, I was going to ask him but then I just decided against it.
"How did you?" I wasn't aware how the fight ended, but seeing Simon's still body on the ground was probably the best thing I have seen since I was here.
"Come on guys lets go find the rest of our friends." Megan pulled out her cell phone and started moving her fingers really fast at texting.
"There, I texted Kendall that were on our way." We both just laughed at the sudden Nightmare we were in, and how we were finally going to be able to go home.
I felt someone lift me up and it was Carlos, I was in shock on how he could carry me with just one hand, but I guess I underestimated his strength.
We walked up the stairs and I noticed that Carlos was struggling a bit to try to carry me out the room we were in, and then I turned behind to see that Megan was behind us making sure I would slip off of Carlos' back.
I felt so useless, but I figured at least we were finally going to back home and not worry about anything anymore.
"Hey Carlos." I guess I startled him when he jumped a bit from my response.
"Yeah Logie?" he turned his head up sideways to take a look at me.
"I'm actually glad we came to the circus, other than what just happened to us in there and earlier, this was an amazing day." I felt Carlos' back go up and down then I heard some sobs.
"You ok Carlos?" I wanted to see how he was taking in what I just said, but I wasn't able to get a clear look from his face.
"Logie, you don't have to say that, I know I screwed up…I shouldn't have bought you here to the circus, this all wouldn't have happened if we had just stayed home." I heard him sniff again.
I placed my left arm on top of Carlos, even though the position I was trying to get comfortable in was killing me on the inside, I knew I shouldn't warn him of my sudden pain.
As I finally placed a good position to let my right arm roam freely, I placed my right hand on Carlos' back and rubbed circles on his back to try to make him not be so tensed.
"Hey Carlos your forgetting that if I was still in the Apartments with Kendall, James, and you Kendall wouldn't have met Megan, and James wouldn't have met Amy. Not to mention that I would probably still be afraid of clowns if I hadn't come with you to this random adventure." I sighed a relief of trying to get confortable when Carlos stopped.
Megan grabbed my right wrist and Carlos was gasping for air, I just chuckled, "I'm not that fat Carlos Garcia!" he turned to me with his arms wide open and turned to hug me.
Megan just chuckled and yelled, "BROMANCE!" we turned to each other and turned red and we just turned away.
I rubbed my hand on the back of my head, "Um…Thanks Megan…." I reached to try to hug Megan, but she then ran towards Carlos.
"I AM SO HAPPY YOU SAVED MY LIFE CARLOS!" I just stood there neglected and then she turned around and smiled.
"I'm just kidding Logie." She walked straight to me and hugged me with so much force, I felt a little pain on my left shoulder, but all that mattered was that we were safe.
As Megan and I finally pulled away from our hug, we started walking back to the entrance from where we came from.
"Come on guys I'm not sure about you guys but I'm ready to leave this place." Megan then turned red and turned to look at both me and Carlos.
"Not to be a bother or anything, but I might need a ride home…" we just chuckled.
"Don't worry we will be glad to give you a lift home." There goes Carlos making promises he couldn't keep, but something told me he was going to keep this promise no matter what.
We passed by every place we had visited since we got to the circus and finally found the path that leads us to the exit.
From a distance we saw Kendall, James, and Amy. "HAY! CARLOS, MEGAN!" Kendall yelled to try to get our attention.
"OH MY GOSH YOU RESCUED LOGAN!" Amy yelled from across, and I turned a little red at her sudden comment.
Then we saw the three of them run towards us.
I saw James observing my cuts and the tear on my shirt. "Man Logie, what happened to you?" I knew that question was going to show up.
"Long story, but I'm here aren't I?" I felt Amy's embrace on me and I screamed from the sudden pain, I had forgotten about my cut.
"OH, MY GOSH I'M SORRY LOGAN!" I just stared at her and returned the hug.
"It's fine it wasn't you're fault." Amy's look of sorry ended up in tears.
"It was my fault, I should have left with him, and maybe it would be me and not you in this predicament." James turned to Amy and planted a kiss on her lips.
Then they pulled apart and Amy just turned red, "I…um…ha-ha…" she turned around and caught on to James shirt from the sudden kiss.
We just laughed, "We'll jeez James if you wanted me to shut up all you had to do was ask!" then she turned.
James pulled her chin closer, "I just wanted you to stop worrying and blaming yourself, look Logan came back alive and that's what counts doesn't it?"
Then Amy just stared at my cuts and the tear on my shirt, "But he wouldn't have those cuts on him if I-" Then James pulled her in for another kiss.
"Ok, fine I'll be quiet" we just laughed and then the six of us turned to the exit.
"It's funny how you all made it easier for me to just kill you all at the same time!" we stopped laughing and turned around and saw the item Simon was holding in his arm.
He laughed once again, but I noticed that he had a wide cut slashed on his cheeks, his cut was way bigger than mine, I turned to Carlos and Megan…did they do that to Simon?
He threw the item, which happened to be a shuriken; we all just stared in fear at where and to whom he had thrown it to.
Then out of nowhere we heard a loud screeching pain from in front of us.
We all just stared in shock at the sudden appearance of Snow.
"I..I…I'm sorry guys, I didn't know what came over me all of a sudden." She smiled, but deep inside her eyes we saw that she was screaming of pain.
We were all still shocked at how the shuriken was in her chest now and she just kept on apologizing.
"Snow…" Carlos was lost at words and so were the rest.
"Do…Don't worry…about…me…I'm fin..fine." She coughed out blood and then we saw the puddle of it already being made on the floor.
It was obvious we were all lost for words, but we had to try to help, the least amount to help Snow.
I got closer and tried to pat Snow on the back. "No! I don't deserve it Logan, I…" she grunted from the pain and she tried to get up.
"Snow, were have you been? And you just ruined my plans!" Simon reached for some new weapons and started tossing them around.
"DUCK!" we all fell to the ground and placed our hands over our shoulders.
I hadn't forgotten the cut I had and turned out I landed on it.
I screamed a little and so did Carlos; I turned with my eyes half opened and saw that Carlos was trying to take off the shuriken from his leg.
James and Amy ran to try to recover Carlos and then Simon just started laughing again.
"SIMON! STOP THIS AT ONCE!" we hadn't forgotten about Snow, we were all worried about her earlier and now we were all in a predicament of our own.
"Snow, Snow, Snow, you really think you can tell me what to do…tsk tsk tsk. You know that without the pay of this job that your family won't survive for much longer. Think about it Snow, you'll just do yourself and your family a favor and move out of the way so I can claim what is rightfully mine!"
Simon pulled something from mid-air and the sound of Carlos and Snow screaming was heard.
My eyes opened when I saw the same shuriken that was stuck on Carlos' leg and Snow's chest fly out and land on the ground.
I didn't know where to turn to, I was helpless once more.
I heard Snow cough up more and saw that she was spilling more blood than she already was in the first place.
I turned to Carlos and saw that his right leg was red from the blood that was coming out from it.
Seeing this horrific Nightmare I just wanted to yell to scream anything to get me to wake up, this was going way to long.
Gasps could be heard from Snow and then Simon's laughter was heard again. I for one was getting sick and tired of his laughter, I didn't know what to do I searched all over the place to find something to stop Simon with, but all I saw were shuriken on the floor.
I was going to pick it up when Simon's foot was on my right arm.
I grunted from the sudden weight on my right arm, then Simon just spinned his cane and placed it on my cut that was on the left arm.
I screamed in pain and knew that this could be the way I could die…more pressure was being added to my cut and I couldn't help but yelp in pain.
Simon must have forgotten that James, Kendall, Amy, and Megan were still there, because then Kendall tried to retrieve the cane from my hand.
"You're going to pay for hurting my friends Simon!" Kendall tried to receive the cane, but I kept on screaming.
Kendall was trying to retrieve it, but the movement made the cane move around my cut a lot and it didn't make things any better.
Finally Simon threw Kendall to the ground and then was tackled by James.
"Why you little!" Simon took out another shuriken and tossed it to James, he screamed and flew far from Simon and then he was on the floor.
Simon just stared at me and laughed it up like it was just all a joke to him, "I may not be able to kill all of you, but four will be plenty to start off with!"
By four I knew he meant Carlos, me, James, and Snow.
I tried to take in deep breathes because Simon was coming straight towards me, I closed my eyes trying to wish this madness to end, but I knew that miracles wouldn't happen that easily.
Simon took out another utensil and found it to be the same sickle that Carlos was trying to use to free me when I was trapped on those restraints.
"Simon…please!" I heard Snow from far away, I knew not even she could save me.
Simon just turned to her and smirked.
"Is this what you wanted Snow! Because by golly I'll give it to you!" he raised the sickle and I closed my eyes and I felt tears flow into my eyes.
Could this really be it…
"Megan Don't!" I couldn't tell what was happening.
