I unlock the door only to be tackled down my dog, Dakota. "Hey there! I missed you so much," I say snuggling with him until he starts growling at the boys. "Hey they're with me," I smile and he barks in response not backing down his glare with Yoongi. The smile falls from my face and I look at the place, it was a mess and it looks like no one has been here for at least two weeks. "And when were you going to tell us you had a dog?" pouts Tae as I laugh and turn back to Dakota.
        "You must be hungry my good little guard dog," I say running up the stairs into the kitchen where there was basically no food. I frown and get Dakota some food while the other members all file in also curious about the state of 'my house.' "Where are your parents?" asks Jimin taking a seat on the counter.
        "I really don't know," I say turning up the heat, everyone was still freezing. "There are three bathrooms, one downstairs and two up but the door at the end of the hallway is off limits," I say looking for something to make food out of while Dakota snuggles against my leg while glaring at the members. I notice the pile of dishes in the sink and almost gag, that is just plain gross. "Dakota who has been feeding you? Where is everyone?" I ask the Australian Pom and he just looks at me blankly when the back door lock starts to jiggle and I grab the nearest weapon which was a frying pan and Dakota just sits down licking his lips. I know what your thinking, I'm in the kitchen and should have grabbed the knife but I can't think straight from being jet legged. "Oh, you're back Kate! It's so nice to see you again!" says Aaron with Sarah and I put down my 'weapon', they are my Korean neighbors and parents to Paul (the Korean back in Genre who doesn't know Korean).         "Hey! It's been so long! Have you guys been taking care of Dakota? Where is everyone?" I ask in English as everyone comes in hearing my distress.
        "Hello we are friends of Kate, nice to meet you," smiles Namjoon in English while the other members stand to the side awkwardly wishing they knew English. "Nice to meet you as well. Kate, what are you doing home? Your family has been on vacation for at least two weeks now," states Sarah and I shrug.
        "They wanted me home for Christmas so I came on Christmas Eve, Merry Christmas," I smile.
        "Merry Christmas to you as well, take care of yourself, Kate," they say walking back outside and I turn back to the boys who were all clean and in a fresh set of clothes. "I'll do a set of laundry real quick," I say but Seokjin picks me up and throws me over his shoulder.
        "Not until you get out of those clothes and take a hot shower," he scolds like a mother carrying me over to the bathroom while Dakota brought me my clothes and towel from my suit case. "Good boy, watch those boys while I shower okay?" I laugh as he runs down the hall to watch the boys. What I didn't know was that he would watch every movement anyone made. I finish the refreshing shower and look to see it's ten and yet I want to crash and sleep off this jet leg. I yawn and step out into the kitchen to do dishes with Seokjin while the other boys raid the video game stash. I finish that and do all the bed sheets and laundry while vacuuming and now it was close to midnight and I head down stairs to see what food we have. There was some canned soup and that was about it so I put a pot on the stove and start cooking, I'll have to go shopping tomorrow but it's going to be crazy because of the last minute gift rush. Dakota was now sleeping on Jungkook's lap as Taehyung and Jimin play Bubble Bubble, my favorite childhood game. I yawn again and take a seat next to Namjoon and Hoseok, "people there is soup on the stove if you're hungry," I say and they all perk up at this statement and then they all run up the stairs into the kitchen as Dakota comes over to me and sleep on my lap as I stroke his fur.
        They all come back with bowls full of cream and mushroom soup and then my phone beeps, it was now December 25th 2013, I can't believe that it's almost 2014, another year that BTS will move forward in their career. "Merry Christmas boys," I smile tiredly as they slurp down soup. "Merry Christmas!" yells Taehyung jumping around the living room doing a little dance while Hoseok joins him doing a epic solo. I laugh as Namjoon pulls his sleeves out and does this really random and bad dance. Dakota jumps off my lap and starts barking when he reaches upstairs I just ignore him too tired to deal with him right now. He comes back with a CD case of one of the songs I wrote for Genre. I pick it up and realize that I left it here and he must have hide it from my parents because they hate when I leave any traces of my job behind. "What's that?" asks Hoseok and everyone turns their attention away from their soup or the video game to me as I smile and Dakota barks again going back upstairs but this time he stays there. "Its a song a wrote a while ago," I say shyly as Dakota comes back down and steals the disk back from me and runs up with it. "I guess he wants us to follow him," grins Hoseok running up the stairs and I follow them up. Dakota leads us to the off limits room and I open it feeling a bit rebellious. Inside there was a white sheet covering a grand piano, I swiftly remove the sheet and feel the keys that haven't been played in so long. They locked this room off after they found out that I was going for a career in music and forbid me from entering. "This is a really nice piano," says Yoongi with a gummy smile as Dakota gives Jungkook the disk and he puts it in to the stereo. "Hey wait!" I say a bit embarrassed, after all this time I still don't think they have heard me sing live.
        "Just sing your song," insists Jungkook as they all take a seat crossed legged like a bunch of first graders waiting eagerly. I take a seat and play a few chords and then I sing the lyrics in my head once.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

(Just pretend that you actually wrote it but of course all credits to the owners) I finish and they all had smiles plastered across their faces as I close the lid on the piano and pull the sheet back over. "That was amazing!" screams Taehyung hugging me.
        "Why haven't I heard this song all over the radio yet?" asks Jimin teasing me as I laugh and blush looking at the time.
        "Okay you lot I let you stay up this late but now it's time to catch up on some sleep. Seokjin my sister has a pink room down the hall that you can have, my brother has a blue room and Taehyung should sleep there. Jungkook and Jimin can share my parents bed and my old bed is downstairs for Yoongi and Namjoon," I explain and they look at me in question.
        "Where are you sleeping?" questions Yoongi and I had to think for a minute.
        "The couch in the living room," I answer and the all shake their head.
        "No no no no no, you can share with me or V," insists Seokjin as the members agree.
        "You should chose Jin he's basically a girl anyway," mischievously grins Jungkook as he burns his Hyung.
        "It will be a bit tight but I guess we'll share a bed Seokjin," I smile as Taehyung pouts and then storms off as everyone laughs.
        "Wait you think I'm a girl?" shouts Seokjin freaking out and I giggle leaving him hanging by heading for bed and he joins me shutting off the light and then Dakota comes in making a space between me and Seokjin. He was making sure that there was no contact between us, I don't know why. I shut my eyes and was just about to let sleep take me when the front door slams open defiantly creating a hole in the wall behind the door. I groan and get up and Seokjin joins me as all the members meet at the front door, except Jungkook and Yoongi.
        "WHAT IS GOING ON IN HERE!!!!!???????" demands my dad storming in as Dakota comes down growling at him.
        "Nice to see you too, stop shouting you'll wake the neighbors," I say coldly as he gives me a glare. My mother, brother and sister all appear behind him. "Hey there little b**** looks like you brought some friends with you. Did we give you permission to do that?" mom mother snarls. "Claude told you," speaks Namjoon and they all turn to him.
        "Did we give you permission to speak?" grins my dad pulling out his pocket knife.
        "Don't you dare, leave them out of this," I hiss as Dakota growls more and the boys back up a little and Jungkook finally shows up with Yoongi. "Awe sweetie protecting your trash how loyal of you but you're in our house now," sweet talks my mother slapping me across the face drawing blood because of her cat like nails. I could tell the boys were going to beat the living crap out of them and to stop a confrontation I say, "please don't move," in Korean.
        "Why are you so cruel? She has been good to you! She cleaned the house, she did the laundry and dishes. She came home when you commanded it!" yells Namjoon his fists balling up as his anger boiled.
        "We only want her home to keep the fear in her heart alive," smiles my sister sadistically pulling out a knife and I tense up.
        "I only came home to see if you have changed at all but I guess I was expecting to much," I growl as Yoongi finally comes up the stairs.
        "WE GAVE YOU A HOME! A FAMILY YOU UNGRATEFUL LITTLE ADOPTED S***," hollers my mother totally loosing it.
        "My home is with Genre in Canada or with BTS in Korea. Not. Here. And I'm glad I'm adopted because I won't want parents like you," I sneer. They stare at me and then my sister grabs my hair and pulls me down into the table and then Dakota bites her in the leg and I back away panting as she curses. "Boys pack up fast," I say in Korean and they rush around. I run up the stairs and grab my packed suit case and slip on my boots. I bolt out the back door with the boys fast at my heels, I hear Dakota growl as my brother picks him up. "Let him go now," I shout livid.
        "Come get him," my brother smiles holding him off the deck by his neck. I panic and run over as Dakota bits his hand causing him to let go and him to fall into my arms. He was shaking really bad, I run over to the boys and we run down the street ignoring the foul words that were hollered behind us. We stop when we're sure that we are far enough away and I totally snap setting Dakota down and crying in the cold snow and to make things worse I left my coat. This was my fault I should never brought them here, I should have never even come back in the first place. Seokjin was the first to hug me as I sat there the adrenaline still flowing. Everyone follows suit and we were in another group hug but this was worse, Christmas was ruined, it was like two in the morning and here we were in the cold snow trying to calm me down.
        "They won't hurt you anymore, I promise," says Taehyung sadly tears in his eyes.
        "We will protect you from them," sniffles Hoseok as I cry a bit happy.
        "Thanks you guys, I have no idea what I would do without you here right now," I shiver taking out my phone. I hate to call anyone at this hour but It's a emergency. Jungkook wraps his jacket around me and I look at him, "you're going to catch a cold," I say handing it back.
        "I rather it be me than you," he admits but it was so dark out that I didn't notice his blush. I dial Jaeden's number because he'll probably be the only one to pick up at this hour. "Kate? What's wrong?" he answers sleepily.
        "I really need a ride can you pick us up?" I say dryly still in an emotional state.
        "Yeah I'll be there as fast as I can, stay warm," he hangs up and I give a little sigh of relief as the other members perk up in hope.
        "I have a ride coming now, let's head somewhere to warm up," I sniffle starting to walk in the direction of a restaurant or a building that is open. Dakota trails behind me with all the exhausted boys, I mean this is kind a of training exercise to see how long it takes for them to pass out from sleep loss. I was barely awake myself but there is no way I'm sleeping anytime soon after tonight.

Rap Monster's P.O.V:
        I'm very concerned right now, Kate is taking us to warm up somewhere while we wait for a ride. Those monsters! How can someone treat Kate like that after all she did for them? It's horrible, I'm concerned for her health right now, something like that has to be damaging emotionally, physiologically and physically as we saw tonight. I had no clue that she was being abused back in Canada, this sounds familiar but she hides it well, very well. We arrive at a tiny restaurant that was empty except for one waitress who apparently knew Kate and let us stay and wait. I watch as Kate sits by the window gloomily, none of us sure what else to say. I mean what do you say after something like that? We can't say everything is okay because nothing is right now. She is fragile right now, like she might break if I touch her. I just hope Genre gets here fast and can help her out of this.

V's P.O.V:
        I failed. Again. I was suppose to protect her this time! It's eating me up on the inside to see her like this. I have no clue what to do, maybe I should goof around a bit...

Normal P.O.V:
        Tae just starts prancing around the restaurant majestically with Dakota chasing him while Jungkook starts to randomly break dance and Seokjin and Namjoon start doing something, I think they thought it was dancing and Yoongi just looks so done with this trip already but couldn't help but smile when J-horse picks me up and takes me around the restaurant. I was laughing so hard I didn't notice Jaeden has come with half Genre. I smile sadly and embrace him and he hugs me back tightly. "Thank you so much," I whisper as we break a part, "can we just do intros later and go home now," I say yawning and Noelle grabs my bag.
        "Yep let's get you back all of you," she smiles and we all load into the van as Jaeden starts the engine.
        "Beware we have a wild Kaylee in her nature habitat at home and Jungkook might get kidnapped," laughs Tia speaking Korean.
        "When did you learn Korean?" I mutter.
        "I finished with Japanese and when we heard that you were coming with the boys for Christmas we all devoted ourselves to learn basic Korean," she explains as Dakota falls asleep on my knees, I guess I'm keeping him, I should have taken him away from those monsters sooner.
        "And knowing you, you spent hours on end to become fluent," I tease and she retorts.
        "I heard it only took you thirteen hours." The rest of the ride was silent and by the time we actually reached the manor the sun was already creeping up the sky. I regret staying up for two day in a row but I know for a fact that I will not be getting rest anytime soon. The car comes to a stop and the Genre members carry the bags in for we were too beet to even bother with our luggage. We open the door and Kaylee comes flying out like a crazy flying squirrel and clings onto Jungkook while I see the rest of Genre at the door sweat dropping. "She was up all night!" sighs Ian in annoyance as Kaylee asks Jungkook like twenty questions a minute while he was just standing there uncomfortably. Ian, Noelle, Kendra and Robbie all attempt to pry her off but she had an iron grip. Precious and Rory just stood there unsure what to do while Yoongi already found the first couch in the house and crashed.
        I couldn't help but smile, this whole time I have been so blind, for I have had family here waiting the whole time.
