I wake to the frightening sound of... well, anything.
Kendall is asleep next to me, with one arm wrapped protectivly around my waste.
Lilly, on the other side curled up in a small ball resting her head on his shoulder.
Newspapers crunch under footsteps nearby sending a wave of shivers down my spine.
"Kendall?" I whisper faintly.
His eyes shoot open, and he looks down to me.
"Theres something over there." I look in the direction of where the sound came from. Now everything is silent.
He stands up and I cradle Lilly in my arms.
"Be careful." I whisper, more to myself than him, he wanders towards the area of the sound.
I strain to hear, just listening for anything out of the ordinary.
A faint mumble, too muffled for me to make a sentace out of .
I get up, laying Lilly on the ground, and walk towards the whisper.
A small niggle in my head, crying out for liquid.
As I round a corner, I am met with a devilish grin, and a pair of all to familiar green eyes.
"KENDA-" I scream, but Lucas covers my mouth.
I bite down hard on his hand, he yelps and retracts in pain.
"KENDALL!! HELP!!" I scream.
Nick comes out from the shadows of Lucas with a beaming smile.
My eyes widen.
"Kiara-" he is cut off by a fuming Kendall tackling him to the ground with a thump.
I gasp.
Harry, Ryan, and Ben all standing behind laughing at the pair of them.
Kendall is punching Nick repeditivly and Lucas is trying to pull Kendall of of Nick.
"STOP!!!" I scream. Slamming my foot onto the ground for emphasis.
All falls silent and all eyes are now on me.
"Kendall, thank you, now could you please get off of him?" I smile and he slinks behind me like a bodyguard.
"Nick, Lucas?" Their eyes shoot up at me, a look of fear consumes their faces, as if I am their mother and they havs broken something.
"Care to explain why you tried to kidnap me?"
I could feel Kendall fuming behind me.
Lucas looks to Nick for help.
"We... uh..." he scratches his neck awkwardly. "Well, I told them."
"No shit." I reply flatly. "What do you want?" I could feel my legs weakening but I wouldn't let them see me weak... again.
"We..." Lucas starts.
My vision blurs and my head spinns.
I turn to Kendall but stumble and fall, luckily he catches me.
He holds me tight and gently descends down to the ground.
He sits me up.
"Kiara?" He says calmly.
"She needs water!" Nicks blurred shilouet escapes my veiw but soon returns.
"Here." he passes Kendall something.
