ZION, Ill. (AP) ? Krystal Tobias and Laura Hobbs became fast friends after Laura moved to town last summer, spending their days exploring nearby Beulah Park and riding through the neighborhood on Laura?s bike with Krystal standing on pegs attached to the back wheel.

.

Their friendship was so tight that tiny 9-year-old Krystal apparently risked her life Sunday evening to defend her 8-year-old best friend from the girl?s enraged father, authorities say.

.

Jerry Hobbs was ordered held without bond on charges of beating and stabbing both girls to death in the wooded park where authorities said he apparently had tracked his daughter down to order her home.

.

When Laura refused to leave, Hobbs punched her, Lake County Assistant State?s Attorney Jeff Pavletic told the judge. Hobbs told investigators that Krystal then pulled out a potato knife and tried to defend her friend, but Hobbs wrested the knife from her, hit her and then stabbed the girls more than 30 times, killing them, prosecutors said.

Hobbs, 34, had moved in with Laura and her mother and grandparents less than a month earlier after he was released from a Texas prison where he had been serving time for assault.

.

Krystal?s brother said his family didn?t know Hobbs or even suspect he could have killed the girls until authorities announced the charges against him Tuesday afternoon.

.

?She was so smart, there was so much she could have done,? said her brother Alberto Segura, 15. ?She could have changed the world but we will never know.?

.

She was, by all accounts, a happy kid. Krystal was the first one in the house awake each morning and she couldn?t wait to get to school, Segura said. She loved to dance and was looking forward to summer and the new water park at Six Flags Great America.

.

On the family?s refrigerator is a Mother?s Day card she made with little red hearts and ?coupons? for her mother, one promising to water the plants for two days and another promising to do her homework without complaint.

.

She may have been the youngest of four children and the only girl, but she could prove to be the quickest ? something her brothers learned time and again when she managed to grab the last cookie in the box.

.

?Their house was open to all the neighborhood kids,? said Ray Torres, whose son is a friend of Krystal?s brothers. ?This was a good family, with the biggest of hearts.?

.

The days leading up to Mother?s Day were also an exciting time for Krystal ? the second-grader was finally getting her own bedroom.

.

Maybe that was the place that her artistic talent would flourish, talent she had shown with such drawings as the pink butterfly on the back of a photo album and a picture of George Washington Carver and blue sky that hangs on the wall of her 2nd grade classroom at Beulah Park Elementary School.

.

Should probably had plans for decorating her bedroom walls, and no doubt chattered about with her friend as they rode around the neighborhood Sunday afternoon. She had, after all, drawn on other walls in the house.

There are some sick sons of b!tches out there in this world today.. there have been a spate of stabbings and random attacks over here in the UK in the last few months as well.

I can't imagine what it must be like to have something like that happen in your own family.. would mess you up so bad! :(

Sigh... I seriously feel sorry for those 2 little girls... and why the hell they even let the father get close to the family when he was charged with assault? :angry: Those 2 girls will be missed. :cry: :cry:
