"Sleeping beauty awakens...Get in."
Hank had pulled the car next to her and Brooke jumped so shocked by his presence. Panic took over her body and she stood there frozen, unable to move or speak.
"I'm not gonna ask again. Get in," he said cocking the gun. Brooke gulped. "I-I" she whimpered tears running down her cheeks. He opened the door and stepped out so they were face to face. He grabbed her arm and put her in the truck before driving down the rest of the driveway.
"Let's go," he said grabbing her arm yet again and pulling her inside. The house seemed to be empty and Brooke could tell he was wondering where everyone was as well.
He dragged her over to a door, opening it to reveal a staircase down to darkness. He reached inside and hit a switch; a single light bulb hanging by a long string flickered on at the bottom of the stairs.
"You can thank your boyfriend for saving you from that tranquilizer. You can also thank him for signing your death wish. I'll be back…and don't even think about moving," he said before pushing her down the stairs and shutting and locking the door behind her.
The basement was dark and had an awful stench to it. Brooke got up off the floor and felt along the walls looking for another way out.
She crept along the wall until her hand felt another switch. She turned it on and another light bulb turned on, illuminating the space behind her.
Brooke's scream echoed through out the entire house. "Oh God," Brooke said bending over, the contents of her stomach spilling onto the cement floor. She wiped her mouth when she was done and pulled herself together as she heard what she thought was her name being groaned. She looked over at the sight she wished she could erase from her memory forever to see a hand barely moving in an attempt to get her attention. Lying on the floor next to the bodies of her friends Rachel, Bevin, Skillz and Chase was an incredibly bloody Jake.
"Oh no…Jake," Brooke cried running over to him. He seemed to be barely clinging to life.
"Brooke," he breathed gasping for air.
"Don't let them kill me…Don't let-" His voice broke off into a sob.
"You're not going to die, I'm not leaving you," Brooke said wiping the tears from her eyes.
"I'm dying…Just find something and end it. Please," He gasped grabbing her hand. Brooke shook her head letting the tears fall freely. "No, No I won't do that. You're going to make it. We are going to go home and you're going to rock Jenny to sleep, just like always."
Jake shook his head and grunted in pain. "Brooke Please! End it for me…I Don't want them to do it. I don't want to hurt anymore," He repeated again pleading with her.
Brooke looked away from him unable to answer his request. In the corner of her eye she noticed the stairs to the cellar that led outside.
"Jake we are going to get you help, come on," she said helping him up. He groaned with every movement, putting all his body weight on the brunette as they made their way across the basement.
She opened the door, glad to see it was unlocked, and using both of their strengths pushed Jake up and out to the outside before starting to climb out herself.
"You'll be okay Jake, hang in there," she whispered as she climbed up a few of the stairs.
"Hey!"
She heard Hank scream behind her and started to climb faster. He ran up to her and was able to grab hold of her ankle, the rest of her body outside.
"Get off. No!" Brooke yelled kicking Hank in the face with her free foot causing him to let go of her other. She quickly scrambled out and shut the cellar doors on his face, grabbing the wooden piece used to lock it and shoving it in place before he could open the doors again.
She picked Jake up again and dragged him up toward the cars. They two made there way as fast as they could toward Hank's truck, Brooke remembering that he had left the keys in the cup holder. "Get in!" Brooke said frantically pushing Jake into the front seat. He slumped his head back against the headrest as she shut his door and ran to her side.
Fumbling with the keys she finally found the right one and stuck it in the ignition. "Start you piece of shit. Start!" She screamed as Hank came running out the front door toward her.
"Get out of my car!" Hank screamed at her as the engine finally kicked on. She put the car in reverse and hit the gas turning the wheel as fast as she could. The truck slammed into the shed she had been in earlier.
"You bitch get out of my truck!" Hank screamed again running at the vehicle. Brooke cursed as the gears got stuck. Before Hank was able to open the door, Brooke was able to get the truck shifted into drive and hit the gas speeding up the driveway.
"Shit!" she yelled slamming on the brakes.
In front of her were two more men holding guns. The weapons weren't pointed at her though but at the people they held on to.
"Get out of the car or they die!" The man holding Nathan screamed at her.
"No!" Brooke sobbed.
"Brooke get out of here. Go!" Lucas shouted before taking a hit to the ribs from his captor.
"Lucas!" Brooke cried out gripping the steering wheel, her tears blurring her vision.
"Fine," Mike said pointing his gun from Lucas to her. "Get out or you die!" he screamed at her.
"Please…please let us go," Brooke pleaded, still not making a move to get out of the car.
'Bang!'
