Nathan Petrelli

1.34 pm

Petrelli mansion

All day Nathan had been trying to contact Peter, he didn't pick up his phone and eventully Nathan discovered it was shut off. Was this just Peter ignoring him again, why wouldn't he awnser his phone? Nathan sighed and put the phone down before walking into the kitchen. He leaned against the counter and closed his eyes. What was there to do? He couldn't stop thinking about it. All afternoon he and Heidi watched the news together. Neither of them spoke.

He had been a nervous wreck ever since he actually learned about the shooting. He had tried calling Claire, since she gave him her phone number but once again there was no awnser. Well Nathan knew Claire could heal herself. If sombody did shoot her she would be ok because there was no way for her to die. Everything was fine.

So why didn't Nathan feel any better?

Claire Bennet

Hallway

1:34 pm

Claire watched afraid that Josh would shoot Zach. She didn't want to say somthing that would make him mad. Zach stood against the wall, too afraid to move. Claire could tell he was seriously freaked out.

Claire: Josh..listen to me, you don't have to do this. Nobody will bully you anymore.

Josh: That's not true and we both know it.

Claire: Yes it is, just please put the gun down.

Josh stared at her. Claire bit her bottom lip so hard she felt it split open. It healed almost immediatly. She was afraid to move or even breathe. Finally Josh lowered the gun and looked at Claire once again.

Josh: You're right, he didn't do anything wrong.

Claire: Yeah

Josh looked away from Claire and pointed his gun at Kelsey. before Claire could react Josh fired the gun. For a moment it was like everything froze. Kelsey fell to the ground and Claire screamed without relizing it was her. At that moment Josh turned and ran off once more. Claire strated to cry even harder. She and Kelsey had been friends for the longest time.

How could this have happened? She was still crying and collapsed on the staircase. Peter sat down and hugged her. She was shaking badly.

Peter: I'm sorry Claire, i'm so sorry.

Claire didn't respond. Zach and Lyle, both seeming even more afraid, were watching them. Claire put her arms around Peter and then stopped crying. She got up and ran to Kelsey, praying that she was still alive.

She was.

Claire felt so relieved but at the same time angry. Peter got off the ground and walked over to claire, taking her hand.

Lyle: Claire come on, we can go now. he's gone.

Claire: No, i'm staying.

She didn't know what there was to do, but Claire couldn't let any other students get hurt. She was still shaking, but didn't feel as afraid anymore. If Kelsey didn't get help soon, she would most likely die. Somthing claire didn't want to think about.

Claire: You guys get out of here, help Kelsey I'll be fine.

Peter: No, i'm not going to leave if you aren't.

Claire: But...fine well then you two go.

She pointed to Zach and Lyle.

Noah Bennet

Schoolyard

1:39 pm

Noah walked around the edge of the school. he couldn't get past the police but he had to save his children, If somthing bad happened to them he wouldn't be able to live through it. Noah saw his son Lyle with another boy that Claire often hung out with. He suddenly felt so much better, though he didn't see Claire anywhere in sight.

Lyle: Dad!

Noah wet over and hugged his son. Somthing Lyle absolutely hated. but right now he didn't seem to mind at all. After they hugged for only a moment, Noah looked at him.

Noah: Where's Claire?

Lyle: She's inside the school with her uncle.

Noah had met Peter once before after he saved Claire. This had to be the uncle Lyle was talking about because Claire was so close to him. He felt better knowing she was with sombody who would protect her. But Noah still needed to find her and see if she was alright. He decided to go inside the school. The only question was how? The police wouldn't let him.

Claire Bennet and Peter Petrelli

1:40 pm

Hallway

After making Zach, Lyle, and Kelsey leave Claire and Peter went off to find Josh. She didn't know why, there was no way to convince him but she thought maybe there was a way to talk Josh out of killling anybody and turn himself in. She hoped he hadn't already but it seemed likely. She was still holding Peters hand. Neither of them said a word. Where would he have gone?

It seemed like Josh was afraid. Of what? Claire didn't have an awnser to that. All she wanted to do was go home, where it was safe. She finally stopped walking, so did Peter.

Peter: What is it?

Clire: Peter, is it wrong for me to love you?

Peter: No because you're my niece and I love you too.

Claire: I mean-nevermind

Peter: Claire I need to tell you somthing

She looked up at him. Before she could reply Peter kissed her.

A/N: This chapter is shorter than I meant for it to be.
