The Ripper Chronicles

Lucas Scott sank against the wall of an apartment with a scalpel in his side. At the age of twenty-two, he was the youngest detective on the force, and nothing could have prepared him for this. He had walked on to a crime scene. Everyone in the room was dead. Written on the wall, was The Ripper is Reborn. While for ink, the Ripper used his victim's blood.

At that point an officer named Brooke Davis walked in the room. Lucas was surprised to see her, for he thought she stayed in Tree Hill. She was an old High School friend and an ex-girlfriend. She looked over and saw that he was hit. She dropped her gun and ran to him.

She said "Lucas, what happened?" .

Lucas replied "I was on br-br-break when I heard screams and ran in. Every person here was already dead. He was hidden behind the d-door as I called for b-backup he stabbed me and ran." After finishing the sentence he passed out.

Brooke screamed frantically into her radio "Officer down, Officer Down at 106th and Clark we are going to need a bus!" She then took the cell phone out of Lucas' pocket, she called his brother Nathan who was in town for a home game. Being a member of the Charlotte Bobcats kept him away from home a lot. Brooke continued to call his family and friends all the way to the hospital.

Upon arrival at General Hospital, everyone was already there. Nathan and Haley had been there first and then Dan, Karen, Deb, Jake, Peyton and Mouth all showed up soon afterwards. Brooke came in and sat down next to Peyton and Haley. She gave them both a hug and said "Shame it took Lucas getting stabbed to get us all here." That's when she broke down crying. When asked what was wrong, she then explained how she was still in love with Lucas and how he explained what happened to him in the apartment. They were there all night and well into the next day. Mouth ran out and bought everyone food. Mouths name had no real story to it except he was the high school basketball announcer. He was the mouth of The Ravens. and the name kind of stuck. He also brought back a NY Times, whose headline read:

Officer stabbed in the Return Of the Ripper

Detective Lucas Scott was stabbed last night by a man claiming to be Jack The Ripper's Grandchild. More on page A3.

While under anesthetic Lucas Scott dreamed. He dreamed he was back in Tree Hill, with Brooke and that they never broke up. He dreamed that she never had the miscarriage when they were seventeen and finally he dreamed they had gotten married. He saw Brooke chasing a son named Curt around the house, while he came in from work at his Uncle Keith's Garage. He saw an amazing life that could have been his and on the inside he cursed at himself for not having that life, or that love.

Later after he had been out of surgery for a few hours, people came in his room. Nathan, Haley, Peyton and Brooke, Mouth called him and explained why he wasn't there. Nathan and Haley where the first to leave and were soon followed by Peyton. After everyone else left Brooke was still there. Lucas looked up and said "So where are you staying, now that you work in Charelston?"

"I'm still in Tree Hill---------" she said before being interrupted. "Tree Hill is a three hour commute, why didn't you find me, my place is huge." Hearing this Brooke Davis smiled.

Three Months Later

Brooke took her Detective exam and passed and is Lucas' partner, in more ways than one. You see Brooke is also Lucas' girlfriend and they are living together in a huge three bedroom loft. The bad part is The Ripper hasn't stopped killing and is now sending packages and letters to Lucas after every murder. The most recent letter read:

Dearest Lucas,

I have killed another today, as you will see in the package I have sent you her kidney.

She did not put up the fight I expected, but she still left me beaten pretty badly. I believe you knew her well. Her name was Peyton Sawyer.

Yours Devilishly,

The Ripper

"I'm going to kill you Ripper!!" Lucas shouted. All Brooke could do was cry.
