Switching Lanes
Chapter 6
[Author note; Ahh, it only took forever..Oh, just so you know, the chapter will switch from character to character, but will remain only in Brooke's POV]
Brooke and Lucas
Lucas and I walked hand in hand, both terrified.
"Luke?" I whispered
"Yep?"
I then asked the question both of us had been thinking, "What if he's dead?"
Lucas stopped dead in his tracks, and turned to me, tears in his eyes. "You know? He isn't going anywhere. Because him and I? We're just getting to know each other. So, he's going to be fine. Alright? Just fine."
I nodded, and we started walking again, walking deep into the unknown...
Jake, Peyton, and Haley
"Don't worry Hales," Peyton smiled, "We will find him."
Haley nodded, "Oh, I know."
Jake led the way. He kept glancing backward towards Haley and Peyton.
"Guys! Speed it up back there!"
"Yes sir!" Peyton yelled.
Theresa and Tim
"So, wanna go make out or something?" Tim's voice echoed.
"No Tim! We're looking for Nathan, remember? Your friend?"
"Nathan is fine. Trust me."
Theresa glanced at him. "Tim, if you come the slightest bit close to me again, I wil kill you."
She began walking ahead and Tim stopped. What did she mean by kill him. He was too freaked to follow her. He began walking backwards. He bumped into someone and turned. His eyes grew wide before an ax smashed down onto his head.
Jake, Peyton, and Haley
"Did you hear that?" Peyton asked Jake.
"Yes, Haley?"
"Me too."
With that, the group began running in search of the sound.
Brooke and Lucas
I kept thinking about Mouth. He was so sweet, and he didn't deserve this. We were going to find who did this, and make him pay. Luke felt the same way, I knew. I could see it in his eyes.
We heard a rustling of leaves behind us, and we both turned abrubtly. Nathan emerged, coughing, and clutching his throat.
"Nate!" Luke yelled, running to his brother's support.
I slowley walked towards him. A cut lay fresh over his right eye, deep and long.
"I was attacked." He whispered, his throat was red.
"I can see that." Lucas mumbled.
"Did you see who?" I asked, my hands on my hips.
"No, he was wearing a black mask."
"How did you know it was a he?" I questioned
Nathan laughed, "A girl couldn't tackle like that."
With that, we went in search of the rest of the group, wherever they were.
Theresa
"Tim? Tim you idiot, this isn't funny!" She screamed.
"I want to make out with you, Tim!" She yelled in a last resort. He didn't come. She sat quietly on the grass, sinking into the dirt, looking around, scared.
Suddenly, she felt herself being strangled by a rope. She tried to lift herself up, but it was useless. Her lifeless body fell to the ground.
Jake, Peyton, and Haley
The three were in search of the sound they had heard, fearing for Nathan.
"Do you think he's okay?" Haley asked
"I know he is." Jake answered.
"Hey look, it's Brooke!" Haley yelled waving her arms in the air.
Brooke, Lucas, and Nathan
I walked quickly, wanting to avoid any murders currently going on. That was when I saw Haley.
"Haley! We found him! Haley!"
Haley rushed towards Nathan and began kissing various parts of his face, hugging him tight.
"Oh God, I was so worried." She whispered.
I grabbed Peyton by the arm. "Where are Tim and Theresa?"
She looked at me strangely. "They aren't with you? We heard a noise a while ago, we thought it was..you know..Nathan, but, I'm not sure. Where could they be? I mean-"
"Peyt, your rambling." That was my job! Job-stealer. Peyton was good at always being calm and stuff. That wasn't me. I was never rashional.
"I was, wasn't I?"
We both sort of laughed.
"Well, what do we do? Split up again?" Peyton asked
"No, I'm not sure that was a good idea," Jake said "I mean, this is a really big forest, and we could have gotten lost from one another, like Theresa and Tim did."
"You're right," I said "We should stick together."
And with that, we were off. To where? We didn't know.
