Kendall

"Okay, Katie... You have a couple of seconds before I open your door. I really need to speak to you." I have been worried for the past 5 minutes i've been standing out here. I know I haven't been the best big brother in the world, but I really wanted to speak to her. I can't drift away from her anymore, I want to understand what she's going through.

"Katie, I'm warning you, I'm giving you 10 more seconds before using the key to your room to get in." Mom went to our local hardware store a week or two ago and had one key made for all of our bedroom doors since Katie kept on locking herself in her room and considering the fact that we all had the same locks.

"Okay... I'm counting down." I say getting aggravated. It's obvious that she was in her room from all the ruckus that I'm hearing. She so can't be sneaky.

"1...2...3..." I say hoping she'd open the door, she is honestly wasting my time," 4...5...6- ugh, fuck it! I'm getting the key" I say annoyed and angry. I run to my mothers bedroom door and give the knob a twist, then enter as proceeded. I walk in and flip the light switch on. Electrical light drapes the room. I walk to her nightstand and open the little drawer. I search around it with my hands finding various things, including a condom? What the fuck? I slip the condom into my pocket. I need to speak to mom about that later. I see a mysterious little gold object between two papers glimmering from the bedroom light.

"Ah-ha! The key!" I say grabbing it out of the drawer and waving it in the air of victory. I walk to the door, turn off the light and close the door behind me.

"Katie!" I yell arriving to her door.

"I don't care. I'm opening-" I hear utter silence and see darkness as I open her bedroom door. The only light coming from the moon through her bedroom window. The curtains wave in the air as it and the wind collide. Then a sense of realization hit me.

"Katie...?" I say as I run into the room looking around for her. All of her school books are piled onto her bed. I look around to see that her beauty product are long gone off of her vanity.

"Oh shit." I say. I turn around and look to see that her closet is almost half empty.

"Fuck-tard." I run into her bathroom to see that almost all of her cosmetics are gone.

"Katie!" I yell running out of her bathroom.

"Katie..." One things catches my eye the most. I go over to her nightstand to see that her favorite family portrait is laid down. I grab her phone into my hand. grasping it hard. I lift the picture up and all of our happy memories are back. I lift her phone up and realize a post-it note is onto it.

"I'm gone." I read the words aloud. I try to hold back the tears. This can't be reality.

I heard the noise of the front door opening, closing, then lock.

"Kendall? Katie?" I hear as the person calls out, Mom.

"Mom!" I yell, still trying to hold the tears back.

"Mom!"

I hear the foot steps come up the stairs and into the doorway.

"Kendall? Wh-where's Katie?" She questions me.

"Mom... She's gone." I say turning around. I fall on my knees. As she gasps, I let all the tears out.

Katie

"Katie..." I hear as I open my eyes slowly. The blurry affect remains.

"Katie?" I hear again. I flutter my eyes to remove the blur.

"James?" I question as my vision gets back to normal.

"What the hell happened? Where the hell am I?" I ask wresting my head up, looking at my hands and feet.

"We're at the cabin. My father's old cabin. Remember this place?" He says,"It's okay, don't worry your safe now. You had an Asthma attack." Then I suddenly remember what had happened. Everything starts coming back to me.

"I ran away with you didn't I? What the fuck is wrong with me? How dare you even take me all the way out here!? It's like a freaking hour away from both of our houses! How long have I been out cold? What time is it!?" the words run out of my mouth as i question both myself and him as I stand up and grab my boots next to the soft, warming bed.

"Katie, calm down. It's only 12;54. But please, can I explain. Please!?" He asks raising his voice at me standing up off of the bottom edge of the bed. I don't even pay attention to him before slipping on the boots. I turn around looking for my bags. I can't stay here.

"No! Why should I!? You left me stranded, depressed, and lonely, and you expect for me to give you my time of day for you to 'Explain'!?" I question, tears starting to stream down my face. I look around one more time before spotting my 'luggage' in the corner of the room. The room was fairly glorious for a cabin.

"Katie. I'm asking you nicely and calmly. Can. I. Explain. Myself?" I push him out of my way before grabbing my bags. I turn around and look at the door. James standing angrily in front of it. I walk up to the door knob. I go to grab it, but I feel the grasp of a hand and the sharpness of claws digging into my shoulder.

I get twirled around to recognize that it's James. Obviously, he's the only one here besides me. Right? His eyes abnormally a brighter hazel, his body looking stronger and buffer, and his nails very sharp and claw-like. He uses his other hand to grab my other shoulder. I feel fear, paranoia, and anxeity. He starts shaking me. He stops and then the bags fall out of my hand. I start to whimper and tremble.

"James... Please, stop, you're hurting me." I say getting worry.

This can't be happening. Is this real? James... No, no, no. He really is the Lakewood beast. I needed proof and now I'm getting it.

"Katie." It's voice very demonic. It's nose- breathing blowing harshly onto me. I start to tremble even more.

"Katie!?" The voice grows louder. Tears start to stream out of my eyes of paranoia.

"James.. Please stop. You're hurting me!" I yell under my breath. It starts shaking me again, growling.

"James! Stop!" I yell, A tear falls out of my eye. The beast stops growling and grabs one of his hands off of my shoulder. I try to hold my face back as it cups his hand onto my face. It takes it's thumb and brushes the tear away. What?

It lets out one more growl before I suddenly feel the claws start to go back to normal. I watch James' eyes go back to normal.

"James?" I mumble. Suddenly his body goes back to normal and he falls to his knees.

"Katie..." His voice very hoarse, yet humble. The repeating of names was really getting on my nerves now.

"James... I'm here." I say, trembling, kneeling, hovering over him.

"Katie...?" He questions me. Wow, that happened all so fast.

"James, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. You need to explain" I say calmly. I help him up and get him onto the bed.

"I'm so sorry. D-did I harm you!?" He questions me brushing his hand across my cheek.

"N-no. Just lie down." I say brushing his hand off of my face and pushing his body down onto the bed, forcing him to lie down.

He grabs my hand and pulls me down onto him. He takes my hand and wraps it around his torso and rest my head onto his chest. He then wraps his hand around me. As comfortable as this was, I still feared of what just happened and I needed answers.

"James-"

He cuts me off," Katie. Sleep. I know your tired, just not now. I don't feel like arguing."

"But-"

"Katie, we'll deal with this later, sleep." He says all so calmly like as if nothing happened," Listen to beat of my heart, It'll soothe you."

I do as he said and listened to his heart beat. The sound calmed me down and soothed my eagerness, but the anxiety remained, and I still needed answers.

Before I knew it, my eyes were closed and I drifted off into a trembling deep slumber.

I know, weird chapter! At least the Katie part of the chapter. Riiight? Sorry for a short chapter. Anyways, Leave me some love!
