So I never even planned on starting a story like this. It took just one conversation with winterschild11 and BAM, a new story is born. *sigh* stay away from her. She can convince you to jump of cliffs XD But a huge thanks to her, because not only did she convince me to write this but she also named this fic

I hope you guys enjoy this story!

Oh, and just to be clear, I don't own Big Time Rush (something about me hurting them too much? Psshhhh), Red Robin (yeah...I keep eating their inventory without paying), Sprite, and Dr. Pepper (The guys at the soda company just don't like me)

Kendall could swear that he hadn't run this fast before. Fear and adrenaline were pushing his body beyond its limits, but he didn't care. As long as Kendall could get away from him.

Kendall looked over his shoulder, surprised to see that his pursuer was still behind him. He was far, but not far enough.

It was dark. The only sound Kendall could hear were the sounds of his feet hitting ground and his heavy breathing. At this point, he could feel tears burning his eyes. There was no way he could escape.

He suddenly turned the corner, hoping to find some form of cover to hide himself. Kendall ran a good distance before finding a nice dumpster to hide behind.

Kendall crouched down beside the dumpster, his body hidden from view. As tears continued falling from Kendall's eyes, he placed his hand over his mouth, hoping that the sound of his harsh breathing would be muffled. He couldn't risk being heard.

"Kendall," his pursuer said in a sing-sing voice. "Come out, come out wherever you are."

Kendall's heart felt like it was about to jump out of his chest. Never had his heart pounded this fast and he could feel himself getting lightheaded.

All he could do was hope that James, the last person Kendall was on the phone with, was looking for him. When Kendall's phone had fallen from his hands, he could hear James calling out for him, worry in his voice.

Kendall started sobbing silently. He could feel his shoulders jerking and trembling. In his head, Kendall kept chanting James' name, hoping that his brunette friend would be close by, ready to save the blonde from this monster.

"I know you're here, Kendall Knight!" the man yelled. His voice had gotten closer, sending chills down Kendall's spine. "You always liked doing things the hard way. That's okay...I love playing games with you."

Kendall stayed completely still. He let his thoughts drift to all his loved ones. His mom, Katie, the guys, and his friends at the Palm Woods.

When he saw the man's shadow approach him, Kendall's blood ran cold. And the next thought to cross his mind was of his father.

His dead father.

"You'll be joining your dad soon, Kendall."

As seconds passed, Kendall couldn't help but feel that the man was right. Tonight was his end.

Tonight, he was going to die.

Kendall saw a pair of dirty shoes stand in front of him, and couldn't stop his eyes from moving upward to see that, yes, his pursuer had finally caught him.

A devilish smile crept on the man's face. Even in the dark, Kendall could see the man's face. It was exactly like he remembered it.

"I missed you, Kendall," he said before lifting the frightened teenager into the air and watching as he hit the ground, landing on his back.

Kendall tried getting up. He was still willing to run more if it meant escaping this man. But as he struggled to get up, the man harshly put his foot on Kendall's chest, pinning the blond to the ground.

Kendall struggled a bit before realizing that his efforts were futile.

The man knelt down, entertained by Kendall's panic and heavy breathing. The blonde was weak right now, a side of Kendall the man loved seeing.

Kendall opened his mouth to scream, but felt a meaty hand cover his mouth. "Shh," the man instructed as he put a finger to his own lips.

"I've been waiting for this for a long time," the man whispered into Kendall's ear.

Kendall shivered after the man whispered into his ear. He felt his eyelids drooping. Kendall tried fighting the inevitable, but finally, his body relaxed and his eyelids closed.

The last thing Kendall saw was the man's evil smile.

"Hey guys," James spoke up, his stomach angrily growling as they drove away from the studio. They had spent another twelve hour day with Gustavo, and they were beyond exhausted. "Who's up for some burgers?"

Carlos' eyebrows perked. "I am!" he quickly replied, feeling like he would die if he didn't get food soon.

Kendall sat in the front seat, his head leaning on the window. Logan's smooth driving lulling him to sleep.

Logan quickly noticed this. "I don't know, James," he replied. "Kendall looks pretty sleepy."

After hearing his name, Kendall spoke up. "No, Logan," he said as he lifted his head off the window. "I'm okay. Let's go eat. I'm pretty hungry myself."

Logan glanced at him before turning his eyes back to the road. "You sure?"

"Yup," Kendall answered as he nodded. "We haven't eaten out in a while. Let's go to Red Robin."

Logan let a crooked smile appear on his face when he heard James and Carlos cheering from the backseat. Logan shrugged. "Yeah, okay," he said. "I could go for their bottomless fries."

They found themselves in the parking lot of Red Robin five minutes later. James and Carlos jumped out of the car, while Kendall and Logan calmly exited the maroon convertible.

A shiver went down Kendall's spine, but he shrugged it off. Autumn has begun in Los Angeles, so it was starting to get a bit windy.

They found a round table close to a window and took a seat. Their waitress was a young blonde who recognized them instantly. "Oh...my gosh," the waitress said. She couldn't have been older than eighteen. "You're Big Time Rush."

The boys smiled and nodded, knowing that their stay at this restaurant was going to be a good one. Usually, when a waiter or waitress recognized them, they got their food quickly. They knew that it was unfair for the other people at the restaurant, but they had to admit how good it felt to be put as top priority.

Carlos studied the menu, wondering which burger he wanted.

Kendall sent his mom a text, letting her and Katie know that he and the boys had gone out to eat. He didn't want them to worry, seeing as how they were supposed to be home about thirty minutes ago.

Claudia, their waitress, placed four drinks on the table. A coke for James. Two Sprites for Carlos and Kendall, and Dr. Pepper for Logan. "Are you boys ready to order?" she asked with a huge smile, hoping that she didn't look like a fool.

"Yes," the four boys said before rambling their orders off to her.

Just as suspected, their food came quickly. James was talking about a girl he had met at a gas station, when Claudia approached with her large tray.

"Thank you," Logan said for he and his friends, seeing that out of the four of them, he was the only one polite enough to do that.

Carlos took a huge bite out of his burger before stuffing a handful of fries into his mouth. James followed suit, first drowning his fries in ketchup before beginning his meal. Logan shook his head before he started eating his burger and fries like a normal person. Kendall just laughed.

Carlos had ordered his second plate of fries before a waiter had approached them. Claudia was still in the kitchen filling out Carlos' order, so the boys assumed that the waiter had something to ask them about their order.

But they soon learned that wasn't the case. Robert, according to the waiter's name tag, pulled out a gray, knit piece if fabric from his pocket. "Um, a customer said that one of you dropped this?" he said, unsure of himself.

James, Carlos, and Logan turned their eyes to Kendall. Robert looked like he was holding Kendall's beloved beanie.

Kendall's eyebrows perked up. "I dropped that here?" he asked. He had been looking for his beanie for two weeks now. The last place he remembered taking it to was the studio.

Robert nodded in answer to Kendall's question. "Is it yours?" he asked as he handed the beanie to Kendall."

Kendall grabbed it, and sure enough, it was his beanie. His initials, written in Katie's handwriting, was written on the inside. "Y-yeah, it's mine," he finally said. "That's so weird," he muttered. He looked inside his beanie, noticing a folded piece of paper inside of it.

"Maybe it fell outta the car," Carlos guessed.

Kendall hadn't thought about that. "Hm," he hummed. "Yeah. Maybe you're right." He looked to Robert. "Thanks."

Robert nodded and began walking away.

Kendall stealthy pulled out the paper and unfolded it. He sat in between James and Carlos, so they were completely oblivious to their surroundings as Claudia returned with their new plate of fries. Kendall's blood ran cold as he began reading.

So Kendall,
You thought you could run? You thought you could get rid of me? You thought you'd never see me again?
You make me laugh. You're so cute, thinking I would never come back for you. Telling yourself that you'd forgotten all about me. Tell me, Kendall, do you dream about me? Remember all the times we shared? I do. And you think you can just cast me away, out of your life like I never existed. I've got news for you Kendall, I don't leave until I'm ready. You don't escape me unless I'm through with you. And last I saw you, I was just getting started.
Sincerely,
An Old Friend.

Kendall couldn't think of who this "old friend" was. His mind was drawing a blank. Maybe it was a mistake.

But then again, this letter was obviously addressed to him.

He swallowed the lump in his throat as he shoved the letter back into his pocket.

Things were finally starting to get back to normal. He couldn't let something like this bring him down. He couldn't let his family and friends start worrying about now.

He decided to keep this a secret. It was probably a prank. There was no way that someone was "out to get him".

Kendall sighed before taking a sip of his drink, which he realized needed a refill.

The rest of his dinner, Kendall had eaten in silence. This was nothing. Kendall was sure of it.

He was sure, right?

How was that? Is this off to a good start? I hope so... And I hope the flashfoward gave you a mini heart attack! Review, okay?

Can you guess who's after Kendall? C'mon! Guess! Guess! (except winterschild11, she can't guess. I forbid it *glares*)
