Lucas rounded up a bunch of guys and girls, "Listen up we have to find Haley, she's in trouble, search the entire school."

People scattered in every direction. Lucas had a bad feeling in his gut about Haley. I hope she's hiding somewhere studying and not in trouble.

Brooke held his hand, supporting him. "Lucas I'm here for you, whatever you need." Brooke looked into his eyes, her feeling for him shining through.

Lucas was blinded by his overwhelming gut instinct that something was wrong with Haley and concerned about Nathan to notice her love shining through for him. "Thanks Brooke, you're a great friend."

Brooke flinched at the last word, friend, that's all I'll ever be to him. A lone tear trickled down her cheek, her tongue flickered out tasting its saltiness.

Peyton waited impatiently as the phone rang and rang, Come on Mr. Scott where are you? Finally someone picked up the phone.

"Hello," a female voice purred.

"Is Dan Scott there, his son is in the hospital and I need to talk to him immediately." Peyton said.

"One second," the phone was muffled and then Dan's rough voice came on the telephone.

"Nathan's in the hospital, who is this?"

"It's Peyton Sawyer, he collapsed at school and has been taken to the hospital, I suggest you call his mother and come down here asap." Peyton hung up the phone and went back to the waiting room.

Pacing from wall to wall, her mind consumed with images of what was happening to Nathan in the emergency room.

Sitting in a chair, she buried her head in her hands, praying that Nathan would be okay. I don't know what I would do if anything happened to him, Nathan means the world to me, I never got over him, I still love him..

Frozen with her inner revelation, Peyton froze in shock, trying to process her thoughts.

From the south hallway ran Deb Scott with Keith Scott trailing behind her. Dan Scott strode down the north hallway towards her.

They met in the middle. Dan Scott smirked at Deb and Keith. "Taking my leftovers, big brother, since you couldn't get Karen, you decided to move onto my darling soon-to-be ex-wife."

"Keith and I are friends and I'm glad to be getting rid of you, you cheating bastard, who's your new bimbo now?" Deb snarled at him.

"People quiet, please. Your son and nephew is in the emergency room, so please shut up." Peyton yelled at them, her eyes flashing with rage, her face pale with anxiety.

Haley opened her eyes, looking around all she saw were dim shadowy shapes, she knew she was in the basement, she just didn't know where. I didn't even this school had a basement, but it's a creepy one.

The identity of her kidnapper shocked her. A dim light from above broke her thoughts. She looked up, it was a small narrow window. If only I could somehow get up there, I would be able to get out.

Pushing herself up from the floor, she felt her way around the room. Various boxes lay discarded against the wall and strewn across the floor.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nathan struggled to open his eyes, voices from afar seemed to talk in slow motion.

Hurry, we need to stabilize him, there's something wrong with him. He seems to be slipping away. Fight Nathan, fight for your life.

Nathan listened to the voice, it was calm and soothing. He focused on it and felt himself floating to a bright white light.

No, we won't lost you.

Strong sparks flowed through his body. His heart started pumping again. He was pulled from the bright white light and thrust into a pool of cool soothing black depths.

Haley's face swam in front of him. Nathan don't leave me, fight for your life, fight for us. I love you. Her beautiful lips curved into a smile and then her image faded out.

Brooke ran down the hallway back to the library where Lucas was holding command central, she almost tripped over a mop that was leaning against the wall.

Cursing whoever left it there, her gaze flickered over an unmarked door. Her curiosity peaked, she opened it. A flight of stairs leading down and an overwhelming sense of evil filled her senses.

Backing away, she slammed the door shut. Something slammed against her skull and she felt into a cool black pool of unconsciousness. Her last thought was of Lucas.

Catching the brunette as she fell into his arms. The kidnapper smirked, another pretty girl to add to my collection. Brooke Davis, welcome to hell.

He opened the door, Brooke's limp body slung over his shoulder as he walked down the stairs, his eyes swept down the hallway as he closed the door, seeing no one he smiled happily.

Lucas watched from around the corner, unwilling to believe his eyes. That monster had just knocked Brooke out and carried off through that door. If anything happened to her, he would kill the monster.

Lucas ran off down the hall to the gym to collect weapons and his army.
