Chapter 3

##$^%$%^#$#

Jeremy was starting to get really worried. It had been a while since Vickie and Becca had both gone into the woods. Did she find Vickie? Where they both lost now? Or is one here and the other had gotten lost? He knew for a fact, even in his buzzed state, that Becca would have check in to tell him if she made it back. They weren't that close thanks to her brother, but they pretty much grew up together none the less. He knew that she wasn't the kind of person to blow someone off.

He looked around one last time to the people closest to him and couldn't spot any familiar brunettes that he was looking for. He was tired of waiting, he needed to know that they were okay. Elena would kill him, let alone Tyler and Matt, if they found out he let both Becca and Vickie get lost in the woods. He glanced back once more and saw that his sister had spotted him. He mentally groaned in annoyance as he took off toward the woods. He knew that she would be catching up with him soon. He could hear her calling after him, but he just kept walking.

He was right. She did catch up to him, just like he had known that she would. He didn't want to listen to any of her lectures at the moment though, if ever again. He just wanted to find the two girls and go home already. "Jeremy!" Elena called after her brother. He just ignored her though. "Jeremy, where are you going?" She asked out to him.

Jeremy turned around to face her, his pace never slowing down as he did this. "I don't want to hear it." He said out to her as he turned back around, only to trip over something. It took him a moment to focus on what was below him. His eyes widened in fear as he saw that it had been a person. "Vickie?" He said out confused as he pulled away to get a better look at her. Her neck looked like it was almost ripped out, like something had bitten her. "No. Oh my god, it's Vickie." Jeremy said out as he was looking back and forth between his sister and the girl below him.

Elena moved closer to get a better look at what Jeremy was now freaking out about and gasped at what she had seen. She saw that it was in fact Matt's older sister lying there with her throat cut open and bleeding from some kind of animal bite. "Oh my god." She gasped out. She couldn't believe her eyes.

She looked around for any sign of the animal as her brother looked back down at Vickie. "No." He reached down to feel for a pulse, but just as his fingers touched her neck her eyes widened, a deep gasp leaving her lips. He didn't think twice before picking her up into his arms and carrying her off back to the party, Elena leading the way in front of him.

Neither Gilbert sibling had taken noticed of the tip of brown hair laying against a log near by where they had found Vickie. "Somebody help!" Elena screamed out as she and Jeremy returned to the party with Vickie in his arms. She had passed out again on the way back to the party site.

Matt looked up from his conversation with Bonnie to see what was going on. His eyes widening fearfully when he realized who it was that Jeremy was carrying out from the woods. "Vickie? Vickie, what the hell!" He yelled out as he pushed back people to get over to his sister.

Tyler met up with them and cleared the table just as Jeremy carefully laid her down on top of it. "What happened?" Tyler asked them as Matt shouted for someone to call an ambulance. He could feel everyone behind him and it was starting annoying him. Matt felt as if couldn't breath with everyone so close, and he had a feeling neither could the other three of his friends and his sister. "Everybody back up, and give her some space." Tyler said to the on lookers as he pushed some of the kids back.

Elena examined her neck more closely to get a better look at the damage that had been done to Matt's sister. "It's her neck. Something bit her. She's loosing a lot of blood. It's bad." Elena told them, not believing this was going on at all. Matt was trying to wake her up by talking to her.

Tyler looked around frantically, his eyes searching for another brunette that he cared deeply about. His eyes were desperate, begging who ever was watching for his own sister to pop up some where and show him that she was okay. She didn't though, he felt like his world had crashed and was officially over. "Where's Rebecca?" He suddenly asked out to his friends. Jeremy's head snapped up at the question. "Has anyone seen her since we got here?" Tyler asked out, now frantic worrying about his sister.

Jeremy felt a long, painful, tug on his heart. She had gone into the woods to look for Vickie not long ago. She had only done it too because he had asked her to. It was his fault that she was alone out there in the woods. What if what ever bit her got Becca too? "She went to go find Vickie a few minutes ago." Jeremy spoke up, his eyes flicking from Tyler to the unconscious girl laid out on the table.

Tyler wanted to kill someone, more specifically the teenage boy in front of him, but he knew that he couldn't waste the time on that. "In the woods? She went into the woods by herself?" Jeremy just barely got to nod before he pushed his way toward the woods, not listening as Elena and Matt called after him to come back. Jeremy knew that he should stay with his sister, but what more could he do for Vickie?

He felt like it was all his fault that she might still be out there and possibly be hurt or worse. He quickly followed after Tyler, completely ignoring his sister's protest for him to stay with her and Matt. "Rebecca!" Tyler hollered out as he jogged through the woods. There was no answer from her though. "Becca, answer me!" He could hardly see a thing in the dark, but he had to find her. Jeremy pushed pass him and went off ahead into the trees. "What the hell do you think you're doing, Gilbert?" Tyler yelled at him as he hurried to catch up with him.

He didn't even waste a second to look back at him. Becca was too important to waste any amount of time. They needed to find her. "We don't have time to fight about this, Tyler. She went to find Vickie. Safe bet says that if we go to where I found Vickie, that we'll find Becca there too." Jeremy shouted back to him, not once looking back to see if he was still following him. He knew for a fact Tyler was right on his heels. He might be a jerk, but even he knew that Tyler cared about his sister and would protect her until he died. Jeremy suddenly stopped, skidding a bit on the wet leaves. Tyler skidded as well, both boys looking for any sign of Becca.

"Becky!"

"Becca!"

Both boys shouted out at once as they looked around them. Tyler picked up on a sound. A small groan in pain kind of sound. He slapped Jeremy's chest before rushing over to the trees to his left. He stopped dead in his tracks when he got to some of the trees. The noise had stopped. "I swear that I heard her over here." Tyler muttered more to himself than to Jeremy next to him.

Neither boy was going to give up. She was here, they both knew that much. That was enough to to know for them to keep looking. "Then she's got to around here some where." Jeremy said to him as he walked over to some fallen branches. He spotted something in the distance. He squinted his eyes as he took slow steps foward. "Becca?" He called out again. He glanced back at Tyler before picking up his pace and hopping over the log. "Oh god, Becca." He said softly as he saw the condition that she was in. "Tyler, I found her!" He shouted out as he dropped to the ground next to her.

She had a big bump on her head, but other than that she looked fine. He checked her pulse and let out a breath of relief. She was still alive and breathing. She was going to be okay, as far as he knew anyways. "How is she?" Tyler asked him as he stood above them. "Is she alright?" Tyler asked him again, more impatiently this time.

Jeremy looked up at him quickly, a small smile on his lips now. "She's got a pretty big bruise on her head, but she'll live. We better get her back and have her checked out though." Jeremy told him as he prepared to pick her up. He paused when he saw her eyes start to flutter a little. She groaned again as she slowly opened her eyes. "She's waking up." He told him.

She jumped with a start, her heart rate speeding up instantly. "Vickie . . . what . . . I . . ." She couldn't seem to get more than word out. All of her thoughts were scrambled up and her head hurt a lot. She eyes focused on Jeremy, then on her brother. They were both looking at her worriedly. "You . . . you found me." She breathed out, her body now calming down. A small smiled graced her lips at she laid her head on Jeremy's chest. She was safe. They found her.

He looked up at Tyler, concern flashing through his eyes. Neither knew what to do with her. "We need to get her back." Tyler spoke up. He nodded and adjusted her head on his chest, her arm limply hanging around his neck as he picked her up from the ground. Tyler watched them cautiously as he climbed back over the log with Becca. The two boys hurried back to the party site, not noticing a dark figure watching them from behind the trees.

Jeremy watched from a far as the paramedics checked over Becca. She had woken up fully by the time they got back. He took a small swig of his beer. He was already drunk, he didn't really care if the cops arrested him. He had sobered up when he was looking for her, but once the adrenaline was gone? He was back to being drunk. This doesn't change anything, but I owe you one, Gilbert." He looked up to see that Tyler was now next to him.

He just ignored him though. Tyler was right about one thing. Nothing would change because he had found Becca. Nothing concerning the two of them at least. He would still have a thing for Tyler's girlfriend. He couldn't help but hope that he and Becca would get closer now though. He wasn't sure why, he liked Vickie. Didn't he? She was just his friend. A friend he liked to make blush, and smile, and laugh, but still just a friend.

Tyler rolled his eyes when he saw that Jeremy had no intention of talking back to him at all. He stalked off toward the ambulance to check on his sister. "How's my sister doing, doc?" He asked the EMT as he approached them. Becca looked up at him sadly, knowing that she would get a big talking to later on. She pulled the blanket that the EMT had given her closer to her body, wishing that the spine chilling feeling would just go away.

He returned his attention to the paramedic soon after. "Well, she should be fine. The bruising on the back of her head wasn't that bad. There should be some swelling, but not for very long. I'd advice to keep her awake for the next twenty-four hours just to make sure she doesn't have a concussion. If she's feeling dizzy, her eyes dilated, or she has trouble with her vision and functioning properly you should take her to hospital immediately." The EMT explained to him. Tyler nodded, mentally noting to himself to tell this to his mother when they get home.

Becca looked past her brother's shoulder, zoning out what ever he was talking about to the EMT, as her eyes found Jeremy. He was talking to his sister about something, and he looked drunk and upset. He didn't look like he was enjoying what ever they were talking about though. His eyes found her's, their gazes locking together. He gave her a questioning look, silently asking her if she was okay.

She gave him a small nod, telling him that she was okay. He nodded back, giving her a small smile that was only meant for her to see. She glanced at her brother to see that he was still talking to the EMT. She looked back at Jeremy and gave him her own secret smile and a small wink. He chuckled to himself before turning his attention back to his sister and what ever she was talking to him about.

She smiled to herself, fighting back a blush on her cheeks. She didn't want her brother to catch on to what had just happened. "Let's get you home, Becca. I'm sure mom is just gonna love this." Tyler said to her, breaking her from her thoughts as helped her down to the ground and led her over to Matt's truck. He had gone with the other ambulance with his sister and left his truck behind with Tyler since he was their ride home. He was gonna bring it back tomorrow when he picked him up at the hospital.
