~Deal ~

Thank you to Kate, xocandy96 and X1Sweetie1X for reviewing! I'm glad that you like the story (and that you liked Damon's line hehe :D)

Hopefully you like this chapter too! Please don't hate me...(you'll see why soon)

Disclaimer: I d not own anything ):

James' POV

I couldn't help but feel paranoid even though I knew that I had nothing to worry about. Everyone was protected so nothing should go wrong...right?

I had a feeling in the pit of my stomach that something was going to go wrong, but I brushed that feeling when we Kendall started talking.

"Should we go back to the apartment and see what Damon and Stefan have been up to?" he asked.

We nodded; it seemed like the best thing to do at the moment until we figured something out.

When we got back to the apartment, only sharing a bit of small talk between each other, I was surprised that it was still in one piece. I was also surprised by Damon and Stefan calmly sitting on the couch as if there was nothing to be worried about. They seem like the brothers who tend to fight a lot...well I can only tell from past experience.

"Are you two okay?" I asked cautiously.

"Yeah, why wouldn't we be?" Stefan answered.

"Personally I thought that you two would have had a fight by now" Kendall told him.

I thought that I was the only one who thought that but luckily not!

"If you want us to fight, I happily will" Damon offered.

"No!" we all shouted at the same time "Working as a team will be good for all of us" I added.

"So what's next in our plan of action?" Damon asked enthusiastically.

"I think that we should try and carry on with our normal lives" Logan suggested.

Damon groaned "Dude the point of having a plan of action is to actually have action!"

"But there is also the word plan" Logan reminded him.

"How did this happen?" Damon sighed.

"What?" I asked.

"I grew up with all of you, I am older than you...therefore I should have influenced you more but you are all like Stefan!" he moaned.

Stefan shrugged "I have a way with people"

"Shut up, Saint Stefan" Damon snarled.

"Why do you have the need to insult me whenever you possibly can?" Stefan moaned.

"I'm your big brother, it's what I do" Damon replied with a straight face.

I could tell that Stefan was about to retaliate but before he could I said "Guys this is the kind of fighting that we want to avoid, plus we have guests in the same room so please at least try and act normal!"

They sighed and murmured a 'Fine'

"How about we all go out tonight?" Jo suggested.

"Yeah, it will take our minds off of everything" Camille agreed.

"There is a carnival down town" Jo smiled.

We smiled with her and all said simultaneously "Alright"

I've always loved carnivals and there are loads in LA so it was like heaven for me! For Carlos any place is like heaven if they serve corndogs.

"We should all go and get ready" Logan told us.

"We'll pick you up at your apartments" Kendall smiled.

Jo gave him a flirtatious wave and she left with Camille who surprisingly didn't slap Logan.

This day is just full of surprises!

"Right lets' go get ready!" Kendall said.

Within a few seconds we were all ready and back in the lounge. I decided to wear my lucky white V-neck and black skinny jeans...they were big enough to fit my lucky comb in as well.

"What should we do while we are waiting?" Carlos asked impatiently.

"There's a hockey game on" Kendall suggested.

We nodded our heads eagerly and sat down on the couch while Stefan and Damon stared at us weirdly.

"Since when have you guys been into hockey?" Stefan asked.

"It's a sport that we picked up in Minnesota, it is quite fun actually" Logan answered.

They let the subject go and joined us to watch the game. They got the hang of it eventually and were enjoying it as much as we were.

"When were we meant to pick up the girls?" I asked.

"Now" Kendall said while looking at Logan's watch. We jumped up and ran to Jo's apartment first.

"I thought you would never come" she laughed.

Luckily Camille was behind her and we were ready to go to the carnival.

"How far away is the carnival?" Carlos asked eagerly.

"Only down the street" Jo answered.

We strolled up and were amazed when we got there. There were lights and rides filling every inch of the land given.

"Lets' go!" Carlos screamed.

"Wait! We should stick together" Stefan told us.

"Katherine is still out there" Damon warned.

Ignoring everything we said Kendall, Jo, Logan and Camille went their separate ways...with each other.

"I guess it is just us four staying together than?" I asked.

Damon laughed "Lets' go"

"Can we get a corndog first?" Carlos asked.

"But when you go on the rides you'll be sick" I told him.

"Vampires don't get sick" Stefan reminded me.

"You don't know Carlos" I sighed when he ran off to the corndog stand.

"What do you mean?" Damon asked.

"He eats so much human food, or corndogs in this case, that it overtakes his blood intake and it makes him sick. He needs to learn how to balance it and maintain a healthy diet" I explained.

I didn't realise Carlos had come back over with an arms full of corndogs until he defended "Says the one who drinks as little blood as possible"

I sighed wanting to end the conversation. I've been told that I can control how much blood I take and I can, I just choose to take what I need.

"Lets' just go do something" I said.

"Should we go and find the others?" Stefan suggested.

I nodded and we began walking around slowly. I knew that they must have millions of questions to ask us but I'm not in the mood to answer them. Katherine was still on my mind- not like that I couldn't hate the girl more but I knew that she was planning something. She never goes down without a fight.

We saw Kendall and Logan waiting by the toilets and ran over to them.

"Hey, what happened to not splitting up?" Damon asked.

"Sorry, but we wanted to have some alone time with our girlfriends" Kendall replied.

"Speaking of your girlfriends...where are they?" I asked.

"They needed to redo their makeup but they have been in there for ages" Logan sighed.

"Are you sure that they are still in there?" Damon asked.

Kendall started worrying. "Oh my god" he chanted while pacing.

"Calm down, lets' check!" Carlos said.

"Carlos, that is the girls' bathroom and in case you haven't noticed, which would be very disturbing, we are all guys" Logan told him.

"Well lets' ask a girl then!" he replied and went up to a lady "Excuse me Miss..." but before he could finish she wacked him with her handbag.

"Compel!" he said while holding his head.

"Hey guys!" Kelly greeted while walking up to us.

"Kelly what are you doing here?" Kendall asked.

"I heard that there was a carnival in town and I'm babysitting my niece" she answered and a little girl stood next to her.

"Could you do us a favour?" I asked.

"What?" she asked curiously.

"Can you check to see if Jo and Camille are still in the bathroom?" Kendall asked.

"Sure" she shrugged "Can you look after my niece for a few seconds?"

"Sure" we replied.

Kelly's POV

Seriously, they need to chill. Girls do tend to take their time in the bathroom! We have to be pretty for our dates!

But when I walked in there was nobody there, it was deserted except for a note on the side of the sink and a purse.

I grabbed the purse and note and my face fell. This was bad.

James' POV

Kelly's niece was awesome! She was shy at first but she tells great jokes.

My smile fell when Kelly returned.

"Are they in there?" Logan asked.

When she didn't answer Logan started to panic.

"I think you and your niece should leave" I whispered to her.

"Read this...and here is one of their purses" she replied while handing me the items.

They left and I said "Guys lets' go back to the apartment"

Kendall and Logan started shuffling (A/N: haha everyday I'm shuffling :P) their feet but I shouted "We need to leave now!"

We ran back at vampire speed and Kendall and Logan plopped themselves on the couch.

I dreaded reading the note but I had to.

Dear boys,

You could've played the easy way but you refused so now it has come down to this. Just remember that you could have prevented this and you still can. Meet me and your precious friends in the clearing in the woods. If you don't come by midnight and agree to my terms then...they die.

Love Katherine

After I read the letter my hands were shaking. How could she do this?

I passed the letter around we simultaneously looked at the clock. It was 11, we still had time.

"Lets' go" I ordered.

"Wait, what about if she wants you in exchange for them?"Logan asked.

"I have a plan" I told them.

The truth was that I didn't but they needed hope, so I intended to give it to them.

It took us ten minutes to reach the clearing and we found Katherine standing with Jo and Camille behind her.

"Hello boys, I thought that you weren't going to show up" she laughed.

"Stop it Katherine, just give us back Jo and Camille" Kendall told her.

"I will when you give me what I want" she challenged.

"And what is that?" Damon asked.

"You all know who it is" she said.

"No" Kendall said calmly.

"What?" she asked.

"NO! James is not going to be yours or whatever! Now give us back Jo and Camille" Kendall shouted angrily.

"You know what'll happen if you don't agree with my terms" she reminded him.

"Why Katherine?" Carlos asked timidly,

"What?"

"Why do this?" he asked more confidently.

She shrugged "It seemed like the only way to get your full attention"

"There must be something else you want...money? Record Contract? Something other than James!" Logan insisted.

She shook her head and Stefan said "Might be time to let out your genius plan"

But he had no clue what it was.

"Plan?" Katherine asked.

"I'll be with you" I surrendered.

"What?" she smiled.

Jo and Camille vigorously shook their heads but I couldn't let that change my mind.

"I'll be with you" I repeated.

Sorry it's short but writers' block got the better of me ): Hopefully you liked it and please review! Happy Father's Day everyone! Hehe I'll update very soon since that was one of my shortest chapters!
