Craig hummed as he packed the last of his belongings into a large suitcase. He was so happy he could burst.
He looked over at Joey who was sitting on the bed, tied up and with her mouth taped.
He had tied her up because he was worried she would try to contact her friends and family when they left. He knew her friends would try to stop them. They didn't understand their love.
Craig dumped the bags by the door and walked into the kitchen. He'd thrown out most of the perishables but was taking a few of the canned food.
He finished packing everything up and picked up the large garbage bag.
"I'll be back, my love, then we'll leave," he said.
He left the cabin and closed it behind him. He walked around the back and dumped the bag into a hole he had dug earlier.
Craig picked up the shovel leaning against the door and began to bury the rubbish. No one could know he had been there.
As he threw the last bit of dirt into the hole, a scrunching noise reached his ears.
He stopped and listened. Some one was coming his way.
He quickly ducked around the side of the building and jumped six feet in the air as he came face to face with Dawson, Jack & Pacey. Jen was just behind them.
"Craig?" Jen said, suddenly getting suspicious.
"Hey," he said, trying to sound light-hearted. "Fancy seeing you here."
"What are you doing out here?" Dawson asked, crossing his arms across his chest.
"I like to walk in the bush. It clears my lungs," he answered quickly.
Jack shook his head. This guy was good.
"Craig, we think Joey might be in the cabin. Have you ever heard any noises in there?" Jack asked.
"No," Craig said. "It's abandoned. Hey, let's go get a coffee. I'm beat from walking all afternoon."
"No, Craig," Pacey said. "We're going to try to get into the cabin."
"You can't," Craig scoffed. "I've tried. Everyone has tried."
As the boys argued with Craig, Jen quietly stepped around the corner. Her mind raced as she wondered how she could get into the cabin.
She walked past the front and decided to try the door. She quietly climbed up the stairs and pushed. Her heart jumped with surprise as it moved.
It squeaked softly as she pushed it all the way. Her eyes widened when she saw Joey tied up on the bed.
Quickly she put her finger to her lips and hurried across the room. She began deftly untying the ropes from around Joey's ankles.
"I'm so happy to see you Jo. We were worried sick," Jen whispered. "Now don't say anything. The boys have Craig cornered around the side. We have to be quiet."
Joey nodded as the ropes came free of Joey's legs. Jen began untying the ropes around her wrists.
When they were loose, she ripped the tape off Joey's mouth then helped her friend off the bed.
"Not so fast," Craig suddenly said from behind them.
They turned to find Craig standing in the doorway.
Jen briefly wondered what had happened to the boys as she shielded Joey behind her.
"It's over Craig. Joey's coming with me," Jen said.
She flinched slightly as Craig advanced on her. He suddenly didn't look so sweet and kind. He had a maniacal look about him.
"You're mistaken Jen," Craig said. "Joey is coming with me. We're in love. We're going to get married."
"I don't love you!" Joey suddenly cried out. "What is wrong with you? Don't you get it."
Fury began to envelope Craig as he rushed forward. Before he reached the girls, he suddenly flew across the room and landed on the ground.
Pacey & Jack rushed forward just as Craig stood up. He was bigger than both of them but they were desperate to save Joey.
"Get outside now," Jack yelled to Jen & Joey. "Dawson's getting Douggie."
Jen took Joey's hand and lead her out the door just as Craig shoved Jack. Pacey punched Craig but missed him by an inch. Craig punched Pacey in the gut and as he prepared to follow the girls, Jack tripped him from his position on the floor.
Craig hit the dirt again. He turned and tried to stand up but Pacey kicked him in his stomach. He gasped for air but still attempted to stand up.
Outside, Jen lead Joey through the bush.
"Pacey," Joey cried.
"They'll be okay. We have to get away from him," Jen said.
She sighed when she heard sirens in the distance. It was all going to be over.

Joey sat huddled by the open fire in the B&B as Pacey rubbed her back. Jen brought her another hot chocolate and sat next to Dawson on the loveseat.
"I thought I'd never see you guys again," Joey whimpered.
Pacey sighed softly. "We were looking for you everyday."
"I saw you," Joey said. "When you and Andie came to the cabin. I tried to call out to you but you didn't hear me. I saw you hug Andie. I thought you'd forgotten about me."
"Silly," Pacey said and pulled Joey into a bear hug.
"Joey how could you think that of me?" Andie asked with surprise. "I was worried sick. I would never take advantage of the situation like that."
Joey shrugged. "I guess I was over emotional. A mad man had abducted me."
The gang managed small smiles. A feeling of relief was starting to settle over them.
"At least you're home and safe," Jack said.
"Here, here," Dawson & Pacey said at the same time.
Bessie popped her head through the living room door.
"Jo, can you work tomorrow? Leanne called in sick," Bessie asked.
Joey grinned. "I guess things are back to normal."
Everyone laughed but the unease still hung over them.
