Pith black and hot is in essence the hole. Though the hot, the inky darkness, the hunger, the thirst, isn't what makes the hole terrible. It's the loneliness, the quietness that comes with being alone. It's enough to drive any sane being crazy, the wondering on what's going on outside the metal sliding door above. Is it night, is it not? How much time has passed, a day, an hour, weeks, months?

Kendall tried at first measuring the time by when the metal door was slid open and blinding light filtered into his dark prison, and he was doused with chilly water. Three times a week, she had said. He had gotten doused seven times he believed. Then again they could be trying to confuse him.

Kendall leaned heavily against his metal prison walls and brought his legs to him, and wrapped sweaty limps around them. His stomach ached for food. "I'm Kendall… I have three best friends named…Logan Mitchell, James Diamond, and Carlos Garcia. We are members of a band called Big Time Rush… I have a sister name Katie and an awesome mom." He talked to himself to keep himself sane. "We are in a bind right now. I have no idea what's going on with the others, they… I hope they are alright."

The aroma inside the hole is horrendous, the breath taking smell of sweat, his body fluids, and the infectious smell his back was giving off worried him.

It no longer hurt but when he touched it he could tell it wasn't healing.

His mind trailed to a pair of soulless black eyes, his stomach churned with anger.

Logan's fingers worked mechanically even though his stomach was do summer salts. His eyes remained on his work in progress, getting the crook out of his 'mistresses' neck. He glanced up towards James and Carlos who was watching him from their positions on the wall. They were nervous far him. James was the massager, not him.

He wasn't really sure why she had ordered him to do this. He was shaken from his thoughts when the woman turned in her chair to face him. He instantly dropped his hands and took a step back.

"How do you think you did?" She asked moving her shoulders.

Logan licked his lips and shifted nervously. "I- I… I'm not really sure. I don't usually do your massages, James does." He rambled nervously.

"You don't believe I'm already aware of that?"

The boy bit his lip, realizing his mistake. "Of course you do, Mistress." He added the mistress bit as an attempt at wiggling out any punishment he may get.

"Meet me later, Logie." He flinched. It hadn't worked.

"Yes, Mistress," He couldn't handle any more hurt.

"You three are now dismissed. I would like to forget you're even here." She waved them out of her office and they wasted no time getting away.

James patted Logan's back once they were far away from 'her' office. "It won't be too bad." He cringed at his own words. That was a total lie. "You're going to be alright."

Logan smiled thankfully at his tall friend.

"It's been weeks, guys." Carlos suddenly announced. It could be anything, but both boys understood what he meant. He was talking about a missing friend who as far as they were aware was still in the hole.

A gloomy silence followed his words.

Bright light filled the tiny space with a loud bang. Kendall dully blinked but made no other moves, expecting water to drench him. It never came.

"You're time in the hole is up." Maslow's voice called down pity filled.

I don't need your fucking pity. He mentally retorted. Blindly he reached for the hole opening and felt himself being pulled from the hole. He collapsed outside of it getting his vision back slowly. He looked up finding Maslow standing a ways away from him. He guessed he was smelly.

"Come, you must wash then meet with her." Kendall slowly rose to his feet with a lot of difficultly.

"Please I have to help you dress." The girl pleaded with him. "I was ordered."

Kendall face remained unreadable as he roughly pulled away from Calani and buttoned his own grey shirt. "I can dress myself."

The girl hands dropped and she took a step back. She gently played with her hair. "Your friends will be happy you're alright."

He turned on her then so suddenly she took a step back. "My friends… they are alright?" Kendall asked his voice uneven.

She nodded a little taken back. "As well as they can be. They've been waiting for you."

The boy sighed unhappily. "Dummies, why haven't they left?"

Calani frowned. "They are your friends; I don't believe they wanted to leave you. Also, there is no way out of here. The windows and doors here only open when Madam allows it."

Kendall stayed quiet. He had really hoped his friends had made it out, but of course it wouldn't be that easy.

The woman eyed him with emotionless dark eyes, Kendall stayed perfectly still.

"How are you feeling Kendall?" The woman asked circling him.

Kendall clenched his jaw. "How do you want me to feel?" He asked his tone completely serious.

She narrowed her eyes at him. "Thankful," she announced.

"Then I am thankful, Mistress."

A huff escaped her lips, and then she lightly smirked. "I like you… You are now dismissed; I hope you join us for dinner."

He turned on his heels and followed the girl from before out of the room. His stomach churned as he got closer to the room that he was going to be in with his friends. It felt like a long time from the last he had saw them, and he felt honestly different. He felt like he lost a part of himself in the hole, the good part of him.

Now all that was left was a bitter, revenge filled, angry mind.

He was brought out of his musing by a bone crushing hug, and he winced out of surprise. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Carlos let go of him. "Are you hurt?" His short friend was bouncing on his toes. Kendall could tell he was worried but also excited about having him back. This made him smile, and he realized he hadn't really smiled in weeks.

"No, I'm fine." He quickly hugged the boy laughing lightly. "I missed you, man." He looked up towards Logan and James who hadn't moved. "Well, are you guys just going to stand there?" They both grinned and the four members were together again in a group hug that quickly transformed into a quiet huddle.

They broke up after a long time, and Carlos showed Kendall around the hallway which was theirs. They each had a room and a shower, and one toilet.

"We're happy you're back, Kendall."
