The next morning, 8am
Steven's POV
I sat on the couch, waiting.
The rest of the band was scattered around the apartment, along with a police officer.
Just then, there was a knock at the door.
I shot up from my seat, and walked over, and opened it.
Kat's sister, Jaz, smiled uncomfortably.
"Hi.." She muttered.
I nodded hello, and lead her inside.
I motioned for her to sit down on the couch, and I continued to stand.
"Jaz, this is concerning Kat." I spoke after a moment.
"What happened to her?" Jaz asked, her eyes widening.
"She was taken." I said calmly.
Jaz looked down at her knees, and let out a sigh.
"It's Chris, isn't it?"
I stared at her. "How did you know?"
"Well, him and I, we've been having issues. He never lost feelings for Kat, and we got into a fight about it. And he left. I haven't seen him since yesterday around 6pm." She explained.
My heart skipped a beat.
"So you have nothing to do with this?" I asked.
"Of course not. I love my sister."
'That's debatable' I thought to myself.
"Where does Chris live? Can you help us? I'm afraid if we don't find this motherfucker, Kat won't survive any longer." I told Jaz.
"Just follow me in your car. I'll lead the way."

Kat's POV
I opened my eyes slowly, adjusting to the light in the room.
I didn't sleep very well, but I got a couple hours of sleep. I felt weak, and helpless, which I don't like feeling.
I also felt very lightheaded.
It was definitely because of the loss of blood from my wounds.
The door opened, and Chris entered, a weird, happy smile on his face.

Steven's POV
My heart was pounding the whole twenty minutes to Chris's apartment. We parked next to Jaz's car, and we got out.
"We have to be quiet, if he suspects anything, he will shut the door instantly. I know he's obsessively in love with Kat, so he will doing anything to make sure she isn't taken away."
Jaz told us quietly.
We followed her up the stairs.
Kat, we're comin' for ya.

Kat's POV
Chris walked in, and stood in front of me.
He caressed my cheek softly.
"Today's the day. I have plans for us."
I took in a breath.
"What plans?" I asked.
"We're running away together." He stated.
My heart started racing out of fear. I didn't want to go anywhere with him.
His lips were about to meet mine, but his action was stopped by a sound coming from the front of his apartment.
My heart skipped a beat, and I froze, a split second of happiness on my face.
I heard running footsteps, and voices that I couldn't make out.
Then suddenly, as if in a dream, Steven, Joe, Jaz, the rest of the band, and a police officer burst through the door.
Steven and I met eyes, and a mixture of concern, fear, and shock etched onto his face.
All good feelings instantly came to an end, as I felt the cold tip of a knife against my throat.
Tears sprang to my eyes, and I took in a sharp breath.
"Don't come any closer, or she dies." Chris stated menacingly.
"Let her go." Steven yelled out.
"Please Chris." Jaz added.
He looked from Jaz to Steven, then down to me.
"I'm sorry, I can't. We belong together. And we will be." I felt him add pressure on the knife, and I closed my eyes.
Instantly, there was a bang, and I was able to take in a full breath.
I turned my head to find Chris groaning, in a heap next to me.
He had been shot. I looked over at the police officer who had just fired his gun.
I let out a cry of relief, as Steven raced over to the chair, and took me gently in his arms.
He held my waist as he helped me stand up. I stumbled, still feeling lightheaded.
I looked at Steven.
"I..I need to go..the hospital." I managed to get out, motioning to my wounds, as my vision began to blur.
Steven's eyes widened, but he nodded in agreement, and yelled for Joe to call 911.
"Steven..I love you.." I whispered, as I felt his lips kiss my forehead.
"I love you too, Kat."
And that was the last thing I heard before I blacked out.

A/N Yay, they found Kat!! Comment, vote! x
So, two things. First, this book will be finishing up in 4-5 chapters, so I know that's sad.
Second, I just wanted to see if any of my readers would be into me writing a short story. It wouldn't be along the same lines as my other stories. It would be based on one of my favorite TV shows, Justified. I don't know if any of you guys have seen it or watch it; if you don't, you should check it out. It's amazing. Anyways, I would put my own twist on it, adding my own plot line and character. It would be about 10 chapters. I just have this huge urge to write something along those lines, just to get it out of my system.
So my question is, because it's not really Steven related, would you guys read it???
Please Please let me know. Your opinions mean a lot, because they basically decide if I publish it or not. xx
