A/N: I know I promised updates within the week, I've been stumbling behind writer's block for this story. Here's the update, hope you like!!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brooke walked to her first class, her cute pink backpack slung over one shoulder. Her brown hair swayed from side to side, as she approached the school entrance.
Peyton ran across the lawn clad in her usual artsy outfit towards Brooke. "Didn't this weekend totally rock?" was yelled across the lawn.
"Yeah, mostly aside from the dead body and my fear of the dark forest" and that weird dream I had, where Nathan was my brother. Brooke looped her arm through Peyton's as they headed off to the school together.
"So let me tell you about this weird dream I had last night" their voices trailed off as they wandered further away towards the school.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lucas opened his eyes, squinting against the bright sunlight pouring through his window. His curtains were pulled wide open, Mommy dearest before she left for the café, no doubt. His alarm clock glared 9:34 at him, my first class starts at 10:07, the joys of English literature. Lucas rolled his eyes and reluctantly got out of bed.
Stretching, he strolled towards his mirror, feeling like something had changed and yet wondering what it was.
He looked the same, last night he'd had a weird dream involving Brooke, a sleeping bag, a cabin and Nathan. Rolling his eyes, he strolled into the bathroom to have a shower.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nathan lay his head on the cool surface of the desk in the library as he waited for Haley to arrive, his head was throbbing. He was sweating and feeling nauseous, maybe he could just go home and go to bed.
Last night he had many weird dreams, one involving being in the woods carrying an axe, hunting people down and killing them. Another involving Brooke and Lucas and another involving …..no I can't think about that again….it was so horrible.
Nathan closed his eyes and waited for Haley's reassuring touch to his forehead.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Haley dashed down the hall towards the library, her books keeping her hands full, she didn't see where she was going until it was too late. She collided with someone, her books went flying.
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry, I didn't see you there, are you okay?" her breathy words fell on dead ears.
Haley stopped talking to look down at the ground and when she did, she saw the person was not moving. A pool of scarlet liquid was seeping out from underneath the body. Haley covered her mouth with her hand and fought her reflex to gag.
Her eyes scanned the silent hallway, her pupils dilated as she looked around for anyone who could tell her that she wasn't just seeing things and that there really was a dead body on the ground.
Backing up, she turned to run in the opposite direction, when a rough hand grabbed her arm. "Not so fast, Miss James, I do believe you win the special prize for discovering my secret."
Haley gasped in shock at the identity of the person. "I have to go, I'm meeting someone."
"Not so fast." Pulling out a pair of handcuffs, Haley was cuffed to the dead person's wrist. Forced to follow as the person dragged the student corpse down a nearby stairwell into the dark school basement.
She struggled not to scream. As she descended into the pits of hell, her footsteps grew fainter as she was led through the maze of the basement. Her mind pleaded for Nathan to find her. She focused on him, his image in her mind. Should I never see the light of day again, I wish only that Nathan knows how much I love him.
A single solitary tear rolled down her cheek as she was led into a dark cold room deep in the basement, still handcuffed to a dead corpse.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lucas walked over to see a young man with dark hair, sleeping at a desk in the library, his skin unusually pale under the luminescent light.
Seeing that it was Nathan, he tapped him on the shoulder. "Haley." Nathan mumbled.
Luke felt Nathan's neck, it was covered in sweat, he was shivering and his eyes were moving wildly under the lids.
"Help someone call 911, my brother needs an ambulance." Lucas half supported Nathan as they walked him outside to wait for an ambulance.
"Haley…." Nathan moaned.
"What?" Lucas leaned closer to listen.
"You have to find Haley, help her, she's in trouble." Nathan coughed as he was put on the stretcher and lifted into the ambulance.
"Haley, where is she?" Lucas wondered.
"Oh my god, Lucas, what's going on?" Brooke and Peyton stood arm-in-arm by the school entrance.
"Nathan's really sick, he had to be taken to the hospital. Have either of you seen Haley this morning?"
"No, we were in English, when we heard the sirens. Is Nathan going to be okay?" Peyton asked, concern marking her tone, her eyes a bit darker than they had been a few minutes ago.
"I don't know, but he told me to find Haley, I think maybe she's in trouble. One of you has to come with me and one of you has to go the hospital with Nathan." Lucas looked at them.
"I'll go the hospital with Nathan and I'll phone his dad," Peyton flinched at the last part.
"Okay, Brooke let's go, we have to find Haley." Lucas grabbed her arm and dragged her back into the school.
As they rushed past an unmarked door and around the corner. The door eased open and man slid out of the entrance and shut the door.
Whistling lightly, he walked down the hall. Smiling to himself evilly, I have a new prisoner, sweet Haley is mine.
