Nightmares Never End: Chapter 3: Hostages

�Shit!� Lance yelped in surprise at the sight of the group of men on the doorstep, drawing Chris and Joey�s attention from surveying the pile of Candy Lance had going� They could only see Lance and not who was behind the door, so to say the least they were confused as to what could have possibly made their normally clam friend yell out such a word, that had never been heard coming from his lips before, at least not often�

�What do you think is going on Chris?� Joey said while turning to look at his also stunned friend.

�I�m not sure Joey� but I think Lance owes us some Candy�� with that their eyes quickly turned back to where Lance was� and they were only more surprised as to what would happen next.

Lance shook himself out of his momentary daze and immediately tried to slam the door shut in order to get it locked, but his attempts were easy spoiled as one of the men reached out blocking the door from closing and with ease threw it back open with such great force that Lance was thrown with it. He fell swiftly and harshly to the ground with a loud thud and before he had a chance to regain his senses enough so that he could even so much as think about running away the men that were now entering the house towered over him� One of them picked Lance up off the ground by his shirt and grabbed onto his right arm roughly causing Lance to whimper softly at the pain, doing all he could to hold back the tears that were starting to form. He was quickly pushed towards the middle of the room where his 2 other shocked and terrified friends stood as two other men stood close to them, it was at that point that Lance first notice something he hadn�t noticed when he had seen the men� their guns�. With the one man still holding tightly to Lance�s arm, he gulped as the man�s gun was slowly place to his head and pressed hard against is temple.

�Where are the other two?� the man barked out at Chris and Joey�. At least Lance hoped it had been directed to them� he was way to scared to talk�

The two men looked on terrified not wanting to tell him, just in case he really didn�t know there were five of them in the house� and after an agonizing silence the man yelled out another order�

�I�m getting tired of this crap! Tell me where the other two are or I�ll kill blond boy here�. We know there are here so you mind as well save his life and tell us where�� the man said as he pressed to gun even harder against the side of Lance�s head.

Chris took in a shaky deep breath and began to speak�

�They are upstairs� sleeping��

�Which room?� Again tightening his grip on Lance, causing him to involuntary whimper at the added pain� Chris looked into his friend�s terrified face and knew what he had to do�

�Upstairs� Last door on the right� they share a room together so they are both in there�� his voice trailed off realizing what he had just done� mad at himself for telling these men where his sleeping and defenseless friends were, but he had to� or else this guy would probably have killed Lance right in front of his eyes�

Chris was shook out of his thoughts as the man let go of his grip and Lance and pushed him over to his two band mates�

�Good Boy� he said with an evil laugh� �You three sit down� shut up and behave yourselves.� He watched the three frightened young men reluctantly comply with his order and smile to himself and started talking to the three men who had been standing behind him taking in the scene in front of them�

6 kidnappers in total stood in the room, so they were outnumber not only literally but one look of the large men told them that they were easily outnumbered physically as well� The men were huge and muscular� and as Lance had found out moments before, very strong� The obvious leader of the group who had been the one holding Lance snapped them out of their thoughts by his orders to the three men�

�You three go upstairs and grab the other two, bring them down here, and for God sake do it quietly!�

Their hearts sank at the uttering of that command� as long as their friends were upstairs sleeping, there was a chance of getting help and they wouldn�t have to endure this nightmare. �Oh God� Lance thought to himself� �Nightmare� Justin is having enough nightmares on his own� he doesn�t need something to make it real. If he was dragged into this his nightmares would never end, and now the rest of the group would be having them too� an endless cycle that no one will break except maybe time��

He desperately wanted to do something to stop them, but his voice failed him� he was still to scared to talk� and if he went with actions he was risking not only his life but the life of his other band mates� he just couldn�t risk it� there were already 3 men standing around with guns out and ready to shoot at any second� All they could do was helplessly watch the men climb up the stairs heading towards JC and Justin�s room�

(Upstairs�.)

JC had woken up when he heard the loud noises that had come from downstairs and then within minutes it was all silent� he had heard voices but shrugged them off to either Lance, Chris and Joey and possibly all three had managed to get themselves drunk or something and broke something� He decided that it was best just to stay where he was� he would get angry with them tomorrow for waking him up and scold them for breaking something. He did a quick check over to were Justin had been sleeping and was thankful when he saw that Justin had seemed to still be sleeping undisturbed� He laid back down in his bed and turned so that his back was to the door and close his eyes and tried to go back to sleep, hoping that Justin�s dreams had finally come to an end� totally unaware of the three dark figures that were now just outside of his and Justin�s room�

He couldn�t help but jump slightly when he heard the door behind him open. He fought the urge to turn around and see which one of his friends was coming to see if they had woken either him or Justin up� instead he remained still and kept his eyes closed listening to the footsteps enter the room. It was at that point that it wasn�t just one set of footsteps� but what sounded like three� �Oh great�� he thought to himself �all three idiots got themselves drunk and are now in here�. They are going to wake up Justin for sure now�� When the footsteps stopped right in front of him that�s when he finally spoke�

�How much have you had to drink, what did you guys break and you better not wake Justin up or I�ll kill you�� he put emphasis on the last part as he rolled over onto his back without opening his eyes. Ordinarily he would have been angry but really no pressing damage was done, and they hadn�t woken up Justin so he was willing to let it go� for the night�

The three men who had just entered the room were momentarily surprised and stunned when JC spoke and all the could do was stand there for a few moments deciding on what the next course of action should be� They were hoping that both young men would still be sleeping so that all they would have to do was carefully pick them up and take them downstairs hopefully with them staying asleep� then they could deal with whatever struggle might occur after that, with the three other partners near bye just in case they were needed. Obviously now with one of them awake those plans had to change and quickly�

�That�s weird�. No answer�� JC thought to himself �Maybe I was just imagining it�� But before he got a chance to check out his theory by opening his eyes he was violently jerked up out of his bed. The next thing he knew he was standing up with some guy holding him tightly� one arm easily around his arms and waist and the other hand covering his mouth. It had all happened so suddenly he hadn�t even had the chance to put up a struggle let alone let out a scream to warn Justin or maybe even the other three members of the group.

JC�s eyes desperately darted around the room in search of something that would further tell him what was happening. He could see at least three men in the room unsure if there were any behind him except for the one holding him so tightly� two men stood in front of him grinning� JC�s mind raced with thoughts, �Oh god they are huge� he tried to scream put with the man�s hand over his mouth it was barely even audible� That�s when one of the men in front of him stepped towards him, fear obviously present on JC�s face, he watched the man slowly raise a finger up to his mouth mocking JC�s attempts to scream. His attention then turned towards the other man who had now made his way over to Justin�s bed, again he tried to scream to warm his brother, but couldn�t and immediately stopped as the man in front of him pulled out a gun and placed it to his head� shaking JC watched as the man in front of him nodded to the one near Justin giving him the go ahead�

The man carefully picked up Justin�s wrists, easily holding them tightly in one hand while the other was placed over Justin�s mouth, much like JC�s before� feeling the sudden movements Justin�s eyes started to flutter open, he blinked a couple times to try to bring thins into focus and when he finally succeeded he was staring into two dark eyes�

�Boo� the man said and laughed as Justin jumped slightly at the sound of his voice. He proceeded to yank Justin out of his bed readjusting his grip to match one like the man who was holding JC in. Justin thrashed and kicked about wildly trying to break free, searching the room at the same time, screams muffled by the hand over his mouth� Suddenly all of his movements stopped as he finally caught a glimpse of the other two men in the room and the gun being held to JC�s head� He went completely still knowing what the implied message of the scene before him was (Stop or we will kill your friend)

�That�s better� the one holding the gun said, and he finally lowered the gun causing both Justin and JC to let out a small sigh of relief� the man continued talking with a sarcastic tone to his voice� �You two have been missing out on all the fun down stairs, wouldn�t want you guys to miss anymore would we?� he smiled� �(To the other two men�) �Let�s go�

With that the hands surrounding their arms dropped but were quickly replaced around just the boys waists and they were lifted easily off the ground, as if they had weighed nothing at all and they were carried off towards downstairs�

When they arrived downstairs Justin and JC were carelessly dropped to the floor were their other friends were. Thus they landed hard on the ground. They scrambled to get into a sitting position, and exchanged worried and fearful glances amongst each other.

�Have any trouble with them?� the leader asked his men, eyeing JC and Justin

�They fought a little, but calmed down with a little� persuasion...� the man said holding up his gun for effect and to get the point across

�Good� the leader replied turning his glances from the group of young men to his group of men�

As he continued to discuss things with his men JC took that opportunity to try to get a handle on what exactly had happened�

What the Hell is going on?! When and how did they get in here?!� he said trying not scream and let his fear get the better part of him�

�They just were there� they rang the bell� I thought it was our bodyguard forgetting something� I didn�t even think�� Lance said as new tears started to form in his eyes �I tried to shut and lock the door but they were too strong and got it open�� guilt obviously present in his voice, JC sighed�

�Lance don�t worry it isn�t your fault, don�t work yourself up about it, we will figure this out and everything will be fine��

That�s when they heard someone clearing their throat and looked up to see the leader towering over them�

�Well boys�� looking at JC and Justin �Welcome to our little party��
