Thanks for all the reviews!! Love you guys!!!
Peyton stared in shock at the dark cloaked figure that had knocked Luke out. Cold fear raced through her body, chills tingled down her spine. She looked at it and then at Luke and ran as fast as she could in the opposite direction.
Bushes got in her way, scratching her arms and legs. Like skeletal fingers clamoring for her soul to drag her back into hell.
She screamed as loud as she could. A group of teachers materialized out of the bushes and came towards her.
Peyton stuttered over her words.
Whitey stepped forward, shaking her slightly. "Peyton, slowly, tell us what happened?"
"There was a tall thing in a cloak and it hit Luke over the head with a shovel and it looked at me……..and I ran away. I didn't know what else to do." Her eyes widened in fear as she stared at the trees from whence she'd come.
Nathan hugged Haley closer, they sat on the log staring out at the lake. They'd come back early from the game just to spend some time together.
A group of people raced out of the woods, Whitey at the head. Nathan sensed something was up. He raced over to Whitey.
"What's wrong?"
"Lucas is missing, something hit him over the head and dragged him into the woods and it's all my fault." Peyton cried out.
"Calm down Peyton it's not your fault." Whitey put an arm on her shoulder and tried to comfort her.
"We need every available cell phone right now. Hand them over to the teachers. We need to get as many people out here as we can and the police." Whitey ordered.
Nathan felt a trickle of fear crawl down his spine at the thought of Lucas out there somewhere alone and scared. "I want to help," he said to Whitey.
Whitey looked at him in shock.
"He's my brother." Nathan turned to look out at the lake.
"Where's Brooke?" Peyton's scared voice rose out of the crowd.
Whitey looked around and saw no sign of the sassy cheerleader. "I don't know." A coldness cloaked him. He looked up as the sun went behind a cloud shrouding them in shadows.
"I don't know." Sounding defeated.
Cell phones were activated and parents were called. Whitey made the dreaded phone call to Karen.
Her assurance that she would be out there right away, only heightened the rising fear in his gut.
Can't possibly be Peyton………….who could it be? Not who you think it is!!! Plz R&R!!! Thanks for all the reviews!!!!
