Peyton got out of her chair and walked to the bathroom that was down the hall and out of the way, she needed a little private time.
Pushing her way into the bathroom, she walked up to the mirror and looked at her reflection, her eyes were pale and her complexion was wan.
"Now that Haley's here, Nathan will be fine and forget all about me, even though I've been here since the beginning. I was his first and he was my first and I love him and he's mine." She cried to herself after her emotional outburst. Sitting on the floor, she buried her head in her hands and sobbed.
A creak of the door alerted her to someone else's presence. Looking up, a puzzled look crossed her face. "What are you doing here? Did you hear about Nathan?" her look turned to terror when a knife was pulled out of the man's jacket.
"What are you doing with that?" Peyton's eyes widened in fear. She backed into the counter in horror as the man advanced towards her.
He raised the knife and Peyton kicked out at him. Connecting with his knee, he grunted in reaction and Peyton tried to roll away from him. He grabbed her hair and stabbed her in the shoulder. Blood spurted out to gush on the floor. Peyton opened her mouth to scream and fell silent as he slashed her throat. Blood splashed against the wall marking Peyton's final artistic expression.
Blood dribbled down her neck and she slumped to the floor. A look of terror frozen on her face permanently.
The man backed out of the room leaving the body exactly where it lay in its final resting place.

Luke opened his eyes and looked around. He was still in the basement at the bottom of the stairs, Brooke lay inches away from him, her complexion a ghostly white in the dim basement light.
"Brooke can you hear me?" Luke crawled over to her.
A soft moan answered him. "I have to get you out of here now." Luke said to himself and the darkness.
Struggling to stand up, he tried to support Brooke with his stronger arm. They struggled up the stairs together until they reached the door and Luke pushed it open.
Students walked down the hallway, Luke collapsed in the hallway with Brooke. People stopped and stared.
"Someone call 911, we need an ambulance, do it now." Luke screamed.Brooke lay in his arms not moving her breath coming in shallower and shallower with each inhale and exhalation.
"Help." Luke screamed as people surrounded them.
Sirens could be heard from a distance and teachers kept students out of the way.
Luke lay on the floor curled up with Brooke. A gurney rolled down the hallway with two emergency attendants at the helm.
They picked up Brooke and rolled her out to the ambulance. "Wait for me." Luke cried out.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"White female, late teens, massive head injury, not responding to treatment." A doctor yelled out as he rolled her down to Emergency. The doors swished shut as medical staff ran in and surrounded the young girl as they struggled to save her life.
A man clad in overalls strode by the doors and watched as they surrounded her. Damn it, she wasn't supposed to get out. Oh well, it should be a while before she comes out of it, I hit her pretty good and if she does talk then I'll kill her like I did her friend.
Smiling evilly, he walked down the hallway whistling a tune that everyone around him ignored.

Haley stood by Nathan's bedside touching his face reverently as she waited for him to awaken so she could tell him how much she loved him.
The door to his room had been shut a while ago, which Haley had thought considerate at the time when she'd with Nathan but now when she went to open it, it was locked.
"Hey what's going on, somebody let me out," she screamed loudly.
A doctor stood at the window of Nathan's room which looked out into the hallway, he held up a sign which made Haley's blood run cold.
"Nathan has tested positive for a skin disease that slowly consumes your flesh and will kill you. Since you have touched him, you have been contaminated, you will be quarantined in this room until a solution has been found. Do not try to escape, bars are on the outside window and you cannot escape from the room you are in"
Haley stared dumbly at the sign and watched as the doctor walked away.
"Wait." She screamed as she beat at the glass, she turned to look at Nathan and let out a blood curdling scream.

Luke tried to stand up and walk, but kept stumbling with each step he took.
"Someone help me, I need to go to the hospital." He cried out, no one seemed to hear him."I'll help you." A friendly voice said from behind him.
Luke turned and saw the school janitor. "You, you're the one who kidnapped Haley and hit Brooke over the head."
"Yep and I killed your girlfriend Peyton and soon you'll be joining her." He smiled manically at Lucas.
"What? No." He screamed in terror and horrific reaction.
The janitor grabbed Luke by the scruff of his shirt and dragged him to the door marked Janitor's Closet.
He unlocked the door and threw Luke inside, relocking the door and walking away.
Luke looked around to get his bearings. He saw pictures of Brooke, Peyton and Haley and a bunch of other girls. He's obsessed with all these girls and he means to kill them and he'll kill me. Lucas's mind wandered through the events of the last week and he stopped on the memory of the dead body. He must be connected to that, that's where it all began, the man in the woods stalking Brooke and I.
Lucas turned around and he began to feel very dizzy. He slumped to the floor in a faint.

"Come on fight, don't give up on us." The doctor muttered under his breath as he examined Brooke and the X-rays of her head.
She lay silently on the bed, like a corpse only with a pulse. Her brown hair lay limply on the white pillow and her complexion reflected the mask of a ghost.
"So what's the verdict Doctor?" a nurse asked as she checked Brooke's vital signs.
"She may be stable now but she's in a coma and from these X-rays she may never be the same if she ever wakes up." His wooden tones bounced off the white walls.
Closing the file he put it back on the counter and followed the nurse out of the room.
As the door clicked shut, the blinds on the open window flickered in the breeze as the wind picked up.
