Prologue:
She never knew something like this could ever happen. Especially to her. It felt like some sort of cruel nightmare. The slap across her face reminded her that it was real. She tried her hardest to stop the tears from falling down her face but just couldn't help it. She was supposed to be having the experience of a lifetime. This was not supposed to be happening. She knew it was over for herself. She thought about everybody she loved, and hoped they knew how much she loved them. Her brother, Nathan, he was the best brother anybody could ask for and she knew he would blame himself for what had happened to her. Her best friend, Haley, would probably be a huge wreck. They were more like sisters. She also thought of the boy that she loved. The boy she never told she loved. Her brothers best friend, Lucas Scott. She regretted now more than ever not telling him how she felt. Another slap across the face brought her back to the present. His evil grin made Brooke want to vomit. She did not understand how somebody could be this evil. It was worse when he pointed the camera straight towards her face and began to laugh. As if it was all a big joke. She wanted to pinch herself awake but her hands were tied behind her back. Then she saw the knife in her kidnapper's hand, and closed her eyes and wished for it to be a quick, painless death.
