Brooke rubbed her head as she came to in the darkness, a soft voice poked at her brain. "Brooke, are you okay?" a hand gently touched her head.
"Haley is that you?" Brooke asked cautiously.
"Yeah. I've been down here for awhile I think." Shrugging her shoulders in the dark, she looked at Brooke.
"All I remember was running down the hallway to the cafeteria to tell Lucas something, because he's got the whole school looking for you, and something hit me on the head and I blacked out and woke up here." Brooke explained slowly, stumbling over her words. Her head really hurt, sharp shooting pains lashed out at her, her eyes could barely stay open. "I feel tired now, I'm going to go back sleep." Brooke nodded off and slipped into unconsciousness again.
Haley crawled over and held Brooke's head in her lap. I hope that hit on her head doesn't cause a serious concussion, cause I don't think we'll be getting out of here anytime soon.
Closing her eyes, Haley prayed silently for someone to find them and for Nathan to be okay.

Lucas ran into the gym, it was empty of people. That's weird, I thought somebody would be in here, no time to waste, must find a weapon something to protect myself and rescue the girls.
Lucas strode into the storage room in the gym and saw a crowbar partially sticking out from behind a box. Grabbing that and a flashlight, he headed for the door to the basement and Brooke and Haley, if she was there too.

Nathan slumbered in the cool silky black pool of unconsciousness, vaguely able to make out words that people were saying around him.
We almost lost him……he's now in a coma….we don't know what's wrong with him….only that he was extremely fatigued.
Nathan floated and felt calm for the first time in a while. I hope Haley's okay now.

Peyton paced back and forth anxiously as Deb and Keith sat on one side and Dan sat alone on the other side.
A doctor came out of the emergency. "Nathan Scott's family."
Dan and Deb stood up.
"No." Dan said.
"No, he'd been fine." Deb said.
"Wait, there was one thing," Peyton spoke up. All eyes turned to her.
"We went on this camping trip this previous weekend and Nathan found a dead body and he tripped over it and he told me after he tripped over it, his leg started hurting really badly, and it went away after a few minutes, he was fine after that, that was the only weird thing, I could think of." Peyton lowered her head, praying that Nathan would make it.
"Thank you, young lady, you might have just saved your friend's life." The doctor turned and walked back to the emergency room.

Haley held Brooke's head in her lap, softly stroking her hair, hoping Brooke would awaken again. The door opened slowly and the man walked into the room.
He looked at Haley and pulled her out from under Brooke roughly. "You're coming with me," he said roughly.
Brooke's limp body collapsed onto the pavement. "Wait you can't just leave her here, she's got a concussion, she needs medical attention," Haley pleaded with the man.
The soft clink of handcuffs was Haley's answer, "No," she screamed.
The click of the door as they left Brooke terrified Haley even more. She kicked out and screamed with all her strength. The man slapped her hard across the cheek and Haley fell silent. Tears streamed down her cheek.
The man thrust her against a wall at the bottom of the stairs leading back up to the school. The door at the top of the stairs opened and a young man with a shock of golden hair descended the stairs with a crowbar and a flashlight.
The man froze as he saw Lucas coming. Pushing Haley aside he vanished into the inky depths of the basement.
"Lucas." Haley yelled.
"Haley, is that you?" his flashlight zoomed in on her.
"You've got to help me, this man locked me in some room down here and then he got Brooke too and she's there all by herself right now and she has a concussion and needs help. The man you've got to call the police he's---------" she fainted from an anxiety attack as she stumbled over her words to identify the man.
Lucas caught her and carried her in his arms up the stairs and to safety. I still have to find Brooke. Itched at the back of his mind.
