A/n sorry its taken so long. I've been really busy and then my computer wasn't working. Please don't hate me!!!!! It's a sorry excuse but I am sorry!!! You know I still love you guys. Ok lets get down to it.

Flashback for use of the viewer

It took him a moment or two to notice the pay phone outside the school where he was walking was ringing loudly. Not knowing what else to do. He looked around and then answered the phone.

"Hello?" Answered Lucas

"Hope you kissed your whore good-bye before she left, because she just walked out of your life and protection and into a nightmare of my making. But it's a good thing you said your good-byes right? I mean I wouldn't want you to feel grief of never saying good-bye so I'll be the gentleman that I am and pass it on for you. Don't worry she's in the good hands of her father. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!! Hack cough hack "

The laugh sent a shiver of dread run down Lucas's spine. Dropping the phone Lucas raced home. Not even waiting for his truck to come to a complete stop. Lucas hurtled himself up the steps and into his house calling Haley's name. But no answer greeted him, no smiling Haley came to him, laughing his fears away, nothing except the note on his pillow answered his call. Reading and rereading it the horror of the truth finally sank in. Haley was gone and even if she didn't know it she was in more danger than she could ever imagine.

Ignoring her request of not following he called Karen and Keith. Followed by Peyton, Brooke, Jake, and Lucas's homeboys, Mouth, Skills and the others. It was time to tell the whole story and nothing short of the truth and the terror Haley unknowingly walked into. The fear racing through Lucas's veins was nothing he had felt before. Maybe there was still time to find Haley before their nightmare begins.

Dun Dun Dun!!!

Ok now to start where I left off

Waking up Haley slowly and quietly did a self-check. Everything seemed to be in working order except she didn't know where she was or what had happened. She hurt real badly and had to stifle a groan as she turned over.

"Well, well you finally decided to join the waking world Haley James," said a voice she new all to well. Her father. Dread shivered down her spine and she slowly raised her eyes to look at him.

He stood over her smiling a smile that scared her shitless. This is when she realized something was around her neck and wrists. Looking down at her hands she saw chains binding her to the wall. She didn't need to even guess what was at her throat, a collar and more chains. Closing her eyes she squelched her rising fear. There was no way he would see her terror. Opening her eyes she didn't have time to brace herself against the first blow. Blood flowed from the reopened cut on her lip. She spit and glared at him.

"You will beg for mercy when I am done with you, you bitch. Nothing you can do will hide the fear in your eyes and then you will obey my every command." He grinned with glee at her. Punching her in the gut and then and uppercut to her head had her on her knees, wheezing and spiting more blood.

"In your dreams" she managed to spit out before the next blow to her unguarded side.

"No one is here to stop me, which means no one can help you. You are at my mercy and I will break you or kill you, whichever comes first." He calmly stated. "Which reminds me your Lucas wished to tell you good-bye I told him I'd pass his message on, so mission completed." He laughed loudly.

The blows rained on her one after the other. Soon he moved from fists to objects, from lamps to shallow cuts of a knife. While she was lying on the floor, he knelt down by her. Thinking fast she drew up her knee and with all her might aimed for his privates. He moved out of reach before she could connect.

"That was a move you will pay for my sweetheart." He growled and then strung her up by the chains so that she was stretched out, unable to move or curl up in a ball.

She heard the belt slither out of the loopholes of his pants. The cracking of the belt made her cringe. The first strike was always the worst. It tore a strangled scream form her mouth. She cursed herself for even that show of feeling and bit her lip as the strikes continued to rain. It hurt so bad, pain radiated from every cell of her body. Her arms ached from her bodyweights strain on them and the rest was just slices of ragged pain searing through her body. The blood flowed freely as did the tears she couldn't hold back any more.

"Oh god, LUCAS!!!" she screamed his name in her head. Why oh why had she left. How was anyone going to find her? "Lucas" she wept silently for him trying to remember his face. Hoping to take herself away.

Back at One Tree Hill

"Where was she?" Lucas thought to himself. "DAMNIT!!!" he said aloud. How were they going to find her? Nothing was going as they planned, it was taking to long, too much time was going by. And there was nothing he could do. All he did was stand by and watch as they tried to figure out where she was. He had to get out of the house where they had set up base and go for a walk.

Grabbing his coat, he slammed the door as he walked out. He had to clear his head and think straight. Think of places that she could be. Fear was in his heart as he thought of what she was going through. Walking through the town he came to the lake and the bench where they had talked so many times through the years. They shared so many secrets and told stories, getting closer and closer to each other.

"Where the Hell are you Hales!!!" He yelled out into the night. Then crumpled to the ground and stared at the night sky watching the moon and stars.

Back with Haley

Haley too was staring at the moon and stars through the small window way up high near the ceiling. Her father had finally left her alone. The pain was excruciating but she put it in the back of her mind. She was carefully piecing together Lucas's face in her head. His blonde hair, those magical blue eyes, that crooked smile of his that made you smile all the more, his strong arms holding you tightly, the safety you feel with him, the love you have for him. His image to firm hold in front of her minds eye, she tried to smile but the blood caked to her face and the swelling was too much, she whimpered in pain. Her whole body throbbed with it. She didn't know how much more she could take.

Again with Lucas

He felt the connection with her. It formed slowly in his head almost as if she was trying to call to him. Maybe it was his imagination, the long sleepless nights catching up to him, but it felt so real. Like she was right with him. "Where are you Hales?" he thought silently. He had a distinct impression she was somewhere near by. He looked over his shoulder but nothing was there. Getting up he headed back to his house hoping with this new connection he might be able to figure out where she was. "Please just hold on Hales, my Hales, I'll find you!"

Haley

She felt peace slid over her and she slowly let the consciousness slip from her. This fearlessness thing was taking its toll on her. Laying the way it least hurt she prayed Tomorrow will be better and with Lucas's face in her head and his name on he lips she let go. Drifting into darkness. Not hearing the quiet laughter of her father as he thought of what next her could do to her.

A/N hey I hoped you liked it. I apologize again for my lateness. And I hope it was good. If you have any comment I'd love to hear from you. Please talk to me and I might get the next chapter done with faster than I did this one. Tell me what you think should happen. Thanks for reading.
