Finally, some help. But would they be in time?
Chapter 8
Nathan considered the irony of the situation. He and Lucas were, at that moment, closer than they had ever been. For god's sake, Lucas was practically curled up in Nathan's lap. Unfortunately, it looked like Nathan would be the only Scott brother to leave the woods that day.
"There! See that car, there on the side of the road?" Brooke practically yelled at the policeman driving them back towards their friends.
"I see it, I see it, would you sit down?" the policeman said, annoyed. He pulled onto the shoulder, and the ambulance behind them followed suit.
Nathan looked up when he heard the sirens, but Haley couldn't bring herself to look away from Lucas's face. If she had, she wouldn't have seen him suddenly gasp for air. And she wouldn't have noticed that, after that gasp, he stopped breathing altogether. A moment later, the woods were again filled with screams. It took Haley a full minute to realize that, this time, the screams were hers.
