Chapter four: Stormy night Part2
The four stranded teens listened as the wind wistled around their safe haven. They listen to the sounds of the strom. The groaning of the building above then, the pownding of the rain, the clapping of thunder and the crash of Debris outside. "At least there's no window's in here... I don't think we need to worry about flooding." Danni said. She'd been throught so many hurricane's she'd stopped counting. "i'm gonna go scout a safe place for us incase this building falls... by the sound of things it might happen soon." she said as the building above them emited another low groan. Haley was still clinging to her injured husband and Lucas. She didn't wnat anything to ever happen to them again.
"I"m comming with you." Haley said, wipping the tears away from her eyes. She'd do whatever she could to keep Nathan and Lucas safe now. Afterall the two of them had protected her for so long , and now it was her turn to repay then for what they had done for her all these years. Danni walked off toward the door of the room they were in . The basement was huge, so there must be at least one safe place to go. Danni held her lighter out infront of them. Haley spotted a reflection off of something and ran to investigate. "nice! look what I found" Haley exclaimed as she picked up a flashlight.
"sure beats my lighter." Danni said as Haley flipped the flashlight on. Danni looked up at the ceiling. " This should be safe... or solid at least... c'moon lets go get the boys." Danni said. Haley fallowed her.
"so how do you know so much about hurricanes anyway" Haley asked. Danni gave Haley the same vonerable look Nathan gave her whn he didn't want to talk aboout something.
Lucas and Nathan stared at each other with worried expressions as they sat on the basement floor waiting for the two girls to come back. "hey Luke..." Nathan said weakly.
"Yeah"
"Sorry I hit ya earlier." Nathan said truthfully.
"It's ok... After all if I hadn't been such an ass you wouldn't have gotten crushed." Lucas said.
"And if I'd never come here then you two wouldn't have been fighting in the first place." Danni said as she and Haley came back. "c'mon you two we're moving to a safer place."
Haley helped her husband up. The whole lower half of his body was practically useless, he was lucky he could still walk. Danni and Haley led the two boys to the room they had found and just in time too. Not long at after they entered the room there was a great roar as he building above gave way and collapsed. luckily the roof above them held it's place and didn't fall in on them. "we should be safe here, why don't y'all try and get one sleep." Danni suggested with somewhat of a southern accent. Nathan and Haley where in no place to argue.It was 3 in the morning and both of them where practically dead.
Lucas couldn't fall asleep. He leaned against the wall and closed his eyes. But still he couldn't fall asleep. Danni was pacing back and forth across the small room, while Haley and Nathan slept peacefully in the corner of the room. "so what where you yelling about before" Lucas asked. It had been bugging him all night. "you know.. outside the hospital." Danni didn't say anything at first but decided she couldn't run from the idea of telling them forever.
"uuh well... it's a long story." Danni said. Lucas listened as the wind wistled outside. It didn't sound like the storm would give up on it's evil wrath which engulfed tree hill anytime soon.
" We've got pleanty of time." Lucas said , grinning at his younger sister.
"ok if you really wanna know... When I was born I was adopted by a family; a yong couple. There names where Anneta and Christopher Langley. The Man who had arranged the adoption was a man named Dan, who was supposedly my father. He told them that I was being given up because I was the spawn of the devil; a demon child. They where a gulably couple and beleaved him. They also where told that my mothers name was Karen Rowe. But that was all they were told with the exeption of my name; which they changed anyway. . They hated me for some reason and I was shunned by the family. They used to beat me and abuse me ever chance they got. But they where rich and bribed me with shit so that I'd keep quiet... one day I found out that an old slave trick was to fallow the Mississippi river north to freedom. At the time we had been living in New Orleans for seven years. So One night I got fed up with it all and I decided to run. I grabbed what I needed and was just going to leave and then..." Danni stopped. Lucas could tell this was a hard thing for Danni to think about. He put his arm around his sisters shoulder and pulled her close to him protectivly. "I-I thought it would be great to finally get my revenge on them... so I went into the kitchen and grabbed a knife... I got the info about my mother from them and stabbed them both... But then knowing what I had done I decided to burn the evidence and burned down the house with them both in it. I'd thought for all those years that my name was Jessica Langley but that night I found out my birth name... Daneille Scott. so for five years; since the time I was eleven I fallowed the Mississippi river north, and north, and north until the cops found out I was the one who'd killed the Langley so ... I ran for the boarder and crossed into Canada. The one day while i was looking for anything I could find about my birth mother I found a site called Raven's and I saw something about a boy named Lucas Scott. It also mentioned his mother Karen Rowe. I instantly made the connection and took what little money I had left to get to Tree Hill... you never know the true real world until you've seen the darker side of it... running from town to town, begging for money; no one would hire an eleven year old... running from the cops and trying to be free from it all... I spent the last five years of my life running from the law working at any job I could get and sleeping in back alleys, basically doing what I had to do to stay alive." Danni finnally finished the story. Lucas pulled his sister close to him and hugged her. He could see things clearly now. It was Dan's fault, it was Dan he should blame. And just when he started to think he could actually trust him. Dan didn't want to have to deal with Danni like he had with him so he'd gotten rid of Danni.
At that second they heard a something outside it sounded like something flying overhead. Finally a sign that the storm was letting up.

"hurricane Joseph is finallyleaving us, but not before leaving behind a wave of distruction in it's wake. We've just gotten word that the Tree Hill hospital has collapsed thank to the wind force that this storm brought. Not to mention the nemerous other buildings and homes that where damaged or distroyed. So far there have been no survivers found in the Hospital's debris. Most of the bodys have been identified but there are still many people missing." An Announcer for a local News station said over the radio. Brooke knew that Lucas was in that hospital getting his arm checked and decided to call Karen to see if he was at home. She thought it was probably nothing to worry about but she wanted to be sure. luckily the phones where still working. She dialed Karen's number.
"Hello" Karen said as she picked up the phone. Brooke was glad that she'd been able to get throught to her and that the phones where still working in that part of the city.
"Hi, is Lucas there" Brooke asked.
"No he's at the hospital." Karen replied. She hadn't yet heard about the Hospital collapsing. Brooke filled her in on what happened.Then hung up , her worst fear had come true. Even if he had cheated on her with Peyton Brooke still loved Lucas.
-
"Hey is anyone down here" The voice of a rescue worker yelled as he cleared Debris from the basement.
" IN HERE." Lucas and Danni yelled at the same time waking up Nathan and Haley. A rescue worker burst throught the door and saw the four starnded teens sitting on the floor of the small room. Haley and Danni helped Nathan up and the four of them came out into the remminace of the Hurricane that had swept over then. Now it was Nothing more then a thunderstorm.
" I found four survivers" The man yelled to his comrads.
-
Brooke sat at home on her bed crying. Still hoping that Lucas wasn't dead. "we've just recived news that four survivers were found in the basement of the Hospital." At hearing these words form the radio Brookes hope was renewed. One of them had to be Lucas, it just had to be.
"Hello" Karen said in a depressed tone, almost on the brig of tears. This time it wasn't Brookes voice it was Deb.Her voice was frantic.
"have you seen Nathan" She asked an note of panic in her voice. "I can't get a hold of him or Haley and I called the group at Tric and they aren't there" That's when Karen remembered. Haley had been at the hospital with Lucas when the Hurricane had hit.
"No I haven't seen Nathan but I know where Haley is... She was at the hospital with Lucas." Karen replied. Deb who had found out about the Hospital collapsing was saddened by the news.
"We have a new development in the hospital case!." The announcer said as Brooke listened.
"oh I'm so Sorry." Deb said.
"The four survivers have been identified" Brooke's head skipped a beat.
The two women hung up and prayed for there sons saftey. There was nothing else they could do at this point.
"The survivers are the fallowing. Daneille Scott" It was Lucas's sister or maybe it was just a coincidence or someone with the same name Brooke thought. "Haley Scott" Tutor girl? What had she been doing there? Maybe there was a real chance Lucas was alive brooke thought. " Lucas Scott and Nathan Scott." Upon hereing the Lastt two names Brooke's heart skipped a beat. Lucas was alive and she couldn't have been happier. She immediatly picked up the phone to dail Karen's number when her phone ranf. The caller ID said Peyton. She picked up the phone and hered Peyton yelling Happily about how all of there friends were alive.
"I'll call you back in a minute." Brooke said before haninng up and calling Karen. "THEY FOUND SURVIVERS" Brooke yelled into the phone.
"What? do they know who they are" Karen asked.
"yup" Brooke said happily.
OUT WITH IT THEN ARE LUCAS AND HALEY OK" Karen yelled into the phone.
"you but they are and so its Nathan and there sister Danielle." Brooke replied. "isn't that great" Brooke said. There was no reply. Karen had already hung up and was calling Deb.
"Hello" Deb replied as shepicked up the phone. Her radio had run out of batteries and the power was out so she'd not yet heard the news.
" I know where your son is." Karen replied. She knew Deb was worried about Nathan but everything was ok now that he was out of harms way.
"WHERE IS HE " Deb yelled in a worried tone.
"He was at the hospital." Karen replied.
WHAT" Deb yelled now about to burst in to tears at the idea of her little boy being dead.
"yes and he was one of the four survivers they found in the basement." Karen said. When she heard this Deb was extatic. She was so happy Nathan was ok. But then her mind jumped to Lucas and Haley.
"who where the other three" She asked.
"Lucas, Haley and Danielle Scott." Karen replied. Deb couldn't belive it that was great news, they where all ok and that was all that mattered. Althought she wasn't sure who Danielle was.

Peyton's car was outside in the driveway. "C"mon lets go." Peyton said as she walked into Brooke's room. Brooke ran toward the door. She'd just gotten of the phone with Felix who was being an ass and saying that they shouldn't be going down to the hospital in the rain.
-
Lucas and the others where glad to finally be out of harms way. "Safety at last." Haley said, sighinbg with relief. Nathan had his arm around her shoulder, partley to confort Haley and partly to keep himself standing.
Lucas spotted a familiar car in the distance. It was Peyton's car, heading toward them. When it stopped Brooke jumped out of the car and ran toward Lucas. She threw her arms around him. "oh god I was so worried about you." She confessed. Lucas hugged her back with his good arm as Brooke squeezed his wind pipe.
"ugh ...Can't... Breath" He choked out. Brooke lossened her grip but wouldn't let go. Peyotn stood back and watched. Then she caught a glimpse of Nathan.
" What happened to you" She asked. Nathan wasn't talking really. He was in enough pain just breathing, but Peyton got the message. "Never mind I'll ask ya again when you feel better." Brooke had finally let go of Lucas.
"what happened? what where you doing it the hospital" She asked. Then she noticed the sling on his shoulder. "oh man not again you idiot." She said hitting hitting his other shoulder playfully.
"you guys need a ride" Peyton yelled to the group.
"Hells yes." Haley replied. Danni turned to walk away. Brooke pulled Lucas into the car.
Nathan Noticed Danni walking away, He'd hurd the whole story when she'd been talking to Lucas and knew she was probably going to run off somewhere. Nathan let go of Haley's Shoulder and started walking toward Danni. "Where do you think you're going" He asked grabbin her by the wrist. Danni looked behind her to see who was grabbin her. It was her weak older brother. It was her fault he had almost gotten killed. Pulled her the other direction toward Peyton's car. "Your comeing with us." He said firmly. Danni was in no place to argue, after all she had no place to go.
-
Peyton's car pulled up infrot of the house where Lucas and Karen lived. "Anyone living here with a worried mother get out." Peyton said sarcastically. Lucas Got out of the car and signaled to Danni to fallow him. He smilled at his little sister. "C'mon she's your mom too." Danni grinned. Was this what it was like to have people who actully cared about you. She'd never felt loved before.Not with her adopted parents and esecially not when she was no the run as a homeless orphan.
Karen threw her arms around her son's neck. She'd been so worried about him. Then she noticed Danni. "Mom do you remember your daughter" Lucas asked. "the one Dan did away with." Karen did remember her. "Just a question why'd you ever give her up" Lucas asked. It had been bugging him for a while now, since the found out about her past.
"I did it cause... well it was before Dan was succesful and could havehelped me support the two of you. I thought giving her up would give her a better life." Karen answere simply.Lucas didn't have the heart to tell his mother about what Dan had done. He'd take care of Dan himself. Danni knewKaren had thought she was ding the best thing for all of them giving her up for adoption and she excepted that.
"so how'd you get back here I'm so glad your ok." Karen said hugging her daughter. Lucas smiled and so did Danni. She was right. This was what it ws liked to feel love and as the sun rose above the distand building in the next city she fiannly relized that people did care and that people weren't so bad after all.
