A/N: Due to rampant reviews wanting a Leyton, I will give you what you want!!! Thanks for the reviews!!!

Brooke looked over her shoulder and saw nothing behind her. She breathed a sigh of relief as she came into a clearing.

She saw groups of her teens clustered around the fire where something seemed to be happening.

"What's going on?" Brooke asked someone as she got closer to the group.

"Lucas is missing. We're organizing search parties." Brooke froze in shock. Lucas is missing. Looking fearfully at the woods, she trembled under the slight breeze.

Peyton watched Brooke's face as she heard about Lucas missing. Rolling her eyes, she relived the memory of seeing that thing drag Lucas away.

As cars arrived, people poured out of vehicles and towards their children. Secret hugs were given, a need to touch and reaffirm that all was well.

Dan Scott pulled up in his car. Jumping out of the car, he sprinted over to Nathan to make sure that he was okay.

"You know with that kid's luck, he probably got himself lost on purpose." Dan scoffed, under the illusion that Luke was simply missing, not knowing he'd been kidnapped.

"You bastard, how dare you talk about my son like that. He was hit over the head and dragged into the woods by some psycho, Peyton saw it. So don't you dare talk about Lucas like that." Karen yelled at him. Her face flushed with the heat of her anger. Her eyes bright with rage.

"Hey don't forget I'm his father, I do care." Dan tried to save his ass.

"Yeah, you cared so much, that you abandoned us." Karen's eyes flashed hurtfully at him. Turning her back on him, she moved towards Whitey to hear any updates.

Various groups spread out to look for Lucas. The sun was hidden behind a huge puffy layer of clouds. They seemed to darken every minute, impending rain threatened.

Karen followed Whitey who followed Peyton as she led them back to where Luke was hit over the head.

When they arrived at the spot, Peyton looked around and saw nothing. It was like they'd never been there before.

Dan led up another group they were walking in the opposite direction. His mind drifted back to his fight with Karen. He truly felt bad, he hadn't known Lucas had been hit over the head.

Rain spattered down around them. Pulling up his sport coat collar, he tried to keep out the rain. No luck. Following the path as it weaved around the lake, he kept his eyes and ears open.

Karen grew anxious as time passed, every second that elapsed was the trail growing colder and the chance of finding him.

Raindrops fell, darkening her spirit, horrific images flew through her mind.

I know it's short, but more updates soon!!! I promise!!!!
