Chapter 2:

Once the cops took all the interviews and took away the body the only people left at Dan's beach house was Nathan, Peyton, Lucas, Brooke, and Haley had joined them. She was sitting next to Nathan and he grabbed her hand. If the event had not been so morbid she would have smiled. They knew that out of everyone here Lucas was hit the hardest.

"Who could have done this to her? She never made anyone angry. They simply didn't know she exsisted let alone hated her. And why here? Why this house? Is it my fault?" His voice cracked he knew that her body had been placed in the beach house and it wasn't the site of the murder. The cops had tol them that. Peyton spoke first,

"Luc honey, its not your fault. Whoever did this is a sick person and they are just playing with you." It did not make him feel any better. He rembered how he walked into the bathroom when he turned on the light he saw a spot of blood outside the shower. He opened the curtain to Glinda's cold eyes staring back at him. It was obvious how she had died because a big axe stuck out of her chest. But there were wounds in other places and blood was filling up the bathtub. Lucas had just been able to stagger downstairs say what he saw before he passed out.

Brooke decided that it was time they all do something.

"I'm thinking we should stick together tonight Rachel already went to our house to set up beds for you guys. I think it would be a bad idea to sit with this alone." Her comment was directed at Lucas but she was staring at Peyton. Brooke may be uncomfortable around Lucas and Peyton but she still cared deeply for them both. After all she had told Peyton about Rachel. So they left for Brooke and Rachel's house together.

Meanwhile…

Tim was running down the street. All the lights were out. He could feel it he was being hunted. He could smell the blood of Glinda still on the man. He was close to him. He could run much longer so he he dove into a bush and headed out the back end. Towards the tree hill woods. Just when he thought he was safely hidden behind and tree he felt hands cover his mouth.
