I do not own Kickin It. Sadly.

Nick was driving as fast as he could to get to the Scantalic. The car stayed in silence as nobody said a word. They were all worried because of Jack's voice on the phone. It sounded very urgent and he sounded scared too. They were about ten minutes away from the scantalic.

When they finally got there, they saw Jack waiting outside, looking worried. They quickly got out of the car and ran over to him. "What happened, Jack? You sounded very worried on the phone." Bella said. Jack looked at his family. "Kim was kidnapped. When I tried looking for her, they kept leading me to clues. I went to a warehouse and they gave me a clue that sent me here. I think that there is a clue somewhere here. I need your help to save Kim." Jack said, urgently.

The family all understood the situation. "Everyone spread out and search for any clue. Anything at all!" Edward ordered. Everyone immediately spread out. They looked everywhere. After about ten minutes of nonstop searching, Lina yelled out "I see something!" This got everyone's attention. They all ran to her.

"I think that there is something stuck over there. It looks like an envelope or something." Lina said. They all looked to where she was looking. There was a yellow colored envelope stuck in between a statue of a clown's fingers. Nick sped to the clown and grabbed the envelope. He handed it to Jack.

Jack quickly opened it to see a picture of Kim. She was passed out on the floor in a dark room. Her mouth was covered and her hands were tied up. On the back of the picture, it said; This is your precious little Kimmy. This is the last clue. We are closer to your house then you think. Maybe even in a tree... Find us before midnight tonight. Or blondie will be no longer. COME AND FIND HER.

Jack read it out loud. "We are closer to your house then you think. Maybe even in a tree? What does that even mean?!" Renesmee asked. They all stood in silence, thinking. "I know!" Lina said. "It's the tree that we built when we first moved here! Remember? We built it as a secret panic room. Like a hiding place." Lina said. "That's right! And it is close to our house! Let's go!" Bella said. Everyone got into their cars and sped off. It was 7:45 PM and their house was about half an hour away.

Once they all got to their home, they parked their cars and met up. "I remember exactly where the tree is. Just follow me." Edward said. They all nodded and sprinted, using their vampire speed into the forest. They all came to a halt infront of the tree. It was very big. Bella went up to it and did a special knock on it. She knocked three times on the top, four times on the bottom, 2 times in the middle and once on the top again. The tree opened up and there was a sort of elevator.

They all walked in and the tree closed up, taking its original shape again. The elevator went down, the only way to go. Once it stopped and opened up, the family widened their eyes. There were about fifteen men in all black waiting for them. They all had weapons. Knifes. Not just regular knifes. Vampknifes. They were special knifes. If you cut a vampire's kneck with them, then they would die.

Renesmee immediately took out a bunch of scarfes from her bag, as she had thought ahead. She tossed them to each one of her family members and they all covered up their necks. In the back of the room, lay Kim. She had a gag in her mouth, her hands and legs tied, and she was unconsious.

They got into fighting position. Three went running to Edward. Everyone else took on two each. One of them tried to get to Jack's scarf, but Jack was quick and blocked his opponent's arm. He knocked out the guy and took his vampknife. Jack used the vampknife and stabbed it in the other guy's neck, killing him.

Jack looked around the room to see everyone else fighting. He saw Jerry having some trouble, as he was backing up to a corner, looking like he was losing. "JERRY!" Jack called out as he threw the knife at him. Jerry caught it and immediately stabbed his opponent's necks.

Jack looked around the room for Kim. He saw her at the back of the room, just waking up. He ran up to her and removed the gag and untied all of the knots. The blonde woke up confused, and scared as she saw the scene infront of her. "J-Jack? What's going on?" She asked quietly. "I'll explain later. Just pretend that you are still unconscious and don't move, if someone sees you awake, they might try to knock you out again.

Kim nodded. She layed down again as Jack went back to help the others. She put her hands behind her back and the gag just slightly over her mouth to make it look like she was still tied up and unonscious.

All of the guys were down except for one, the last person who Edward was fighting. He was having a little trouble, so Jack decided to step in. Jack quietly went to the back of the guy, and stabbed him in the neck. He fell down without a word. Edward looked up. "Thanks." He said. Jack just nodded.

The family looked at each other and Kim knew that it was over, so she sat up. Everyone ran over to Kim. "Are you alright, Kim?" Asked Bella. "Are you hurt?" Asked Alison. "No, I'm... I'm fine. Just confused... The last thing I remember is walking home from the beach." Kim said.

"Well, well, well. Hello Brewers." Said a deep voice from behind. Everyone turned around. They saw someone who they hadn't seen in a long time. A very long time. Johnathon Martin. Edward stood up. "Hello, John. I'm assuming that this is your work?" He said. John smirked. "Well of course it is. You people may have been able to convince my son, and he may have been able to convince the rest of my family. But not me. Never. And even if I was to be convinced, it has been fun to try to hunt you down and make your lives miserable. I wouldn't want to give it up since I have been doing it for so long." John said.

"You're a sick man, John. You know the truth. You just want an excuse to kill someone." Bella said. John just smirked. "Indeed I do." He said, menacingly. Nick growled. John just kept smirking. "Finish them." He said as a dozen more men came out from behind them. They got ready to fight again. They kept fighting and would keep fighitng for ever, if it meant that they could save their family. In the middle of all the comotion, they didn't notice Jude.

Jude came out of nowhere and stabbed John in the nexk with a vampknife. That was it. Their battle was over. The men that were hired to kill them were all dead on the floor and so was John. Jude stood there, staring at the dead man who he used to call his father. He looked up at the family. "I'm sorry that I was unable to convince my father." He said as the rest of the Martins came into view.

"It wasn't your fault. He was a sick and mental man. Forgive me for saying that about you fath-" Edward was cut off. "He isn't my father. Not anymore. Don't be sorry for saying that. He really was a sick man, but it took us such a long time to find out. He put us in this mind set and somehow made us believe and trust in him so much. But he was sick." Jude said.

"We are sorry for all of the trouble and pain that we have caused you all these years. It's unforgivable. We apologize for not being able to change Johnathon." Sarah Martin, the mother of the family said. "It's alright. It wasn't your fault. Everything is okay now, and we can keep peace between us." Bella said. Sarah nodded and walked to Kim. She had a look of honesty and sincerity in her face. "I really truly apologize for what we have pulled you into, Kimberly. We will not tell you any excuses." Sarah said.

Kim smiled. "A true and honest apology is enough for me. It's fine." Kim said, shrugging it off. Sarah smiled. "We will keep peace and frendship between us now. No more fights. We can even go back to how things used to be, when we were friends. Bella and Edward smiled. "Deal."
