The first three days were awesome, they did lots of swimming, and eating. They told jokes, and hung around at the campfire. They were a little discouraged that they were going got have to go home in 2 days. It was the third night any they were all so tired from that day, they were swimming all day. Everyone headed in early only to have that day be the last peaceful day for the rest of their trip.

It was in the middle of the night when Peyton herd the noise.

"Jake, Jake wake up" she shook him awake.

"W-what" Jake mumbled as he was waking up

"Something is outside" Peyton whispered scared

"Peyton, it's the woods, it could be a racoon or something." He tried to calm her down

"No, it sounds bigger Jake, its scary" she continued to whisper

"Fine, I'll go check" Jake said getting up

Jake walked out of the tent and decided to please Peyton he'd look around just to make sure she felt safe. He was sure it was just some animal, nothing serious. Then he saw something, move across near where the cars were parked, he walked over slowly just looking around. When he looked over at the cars he noticed that all of the hoods were up, he found it a little odd but before he could walk over to see what was going on he was hit straight on the head and he felt right to the ground, he tried to yell for help but before he could he was being tied up and gagged in what seemed like a split second. Jake couldn't believe it, he was being dragged through the forest he tried to squirm out of it but he felt so dizzy from the blow to the head he could hardly move.

"Jake! Jake!" Lucas and Nathan were yelling. They had both herd a noise when Jake was attacked and went to check on things when Peyton told them Jake was doing the same thing and now he was gone.

Jake tired to escape, he really did, he would kick and squirm but the more he did, the harder the men would grip him. As Jake was ready to give up hope he came to an abrupt halt.

"Lets just leave him hear" the one man said. " Lets just take care of them later, c'mon we have to be more prepared"

"I told you this was a bad idea, He is going to be so mad at us!" The other hollered back.

" Let's go" the one said back

Jake felt a punch in the gut and he was dropped to the ground and the two man ran off.

When Lucas and Nathan found Jake he was limping back, he twisted his ankle when he was being dragged ,with his hands tied and he was all dirty from being dragged. They brought him straight back and he explained what had happened and what the men had said.

"Well we gotta get out of here, we could be killed out here" Rachel had said worried

"Yeah we don't need our stuff lets just go lets just leave it" Peyton agreed, with tears in her eyes

"We can't" Lucas had said calmly.

"What, what do you mean we can't Lucas?" Brooke had asked scared

" Those guys that attacked Jake, busted the engines in all of our cars." Nathan replied

"So were stuck here?" Mouth said, sounding worried

"Well what are we going to do? We can't just stay here and wait for them to come back, what if there are more?" Bevin said

"Chill baby, we'll figure this out" Skillz said calming his girlfriend down.

"Well we can't just walk through the woods to find the road, for one its to dark, and its to far, who knows what would happen if we run into them." Haley stated

"Wait Haley, what about the canoes?" Lucas asked

"The what?" Rachel said

" The canoes we used to go on, if you take the trail we used to go on , it takes you to the rangers station. It's about a half an hour but its their." Lucas replied

" Well we don't have enough room for all of us" Haley said, she was being held by Nathan, he could how scared she was.

"Well only you and Lucas know where to go" Mouth said

"Haley you go and Nathan you should go with her." Lucas said right away.

"We can fit about three more people" Haley said

"Please let me go!" Bevin shouted "I'm so sorry guys, but im so scared I can't stay here"

"Alright you and Skillz come," Nathan said. "We have one more spot, who wants it?"

"Rachel you should go" Mouth had said

"Are you all sure?" Rachel had asked

"Yeah we're sure" Peyton had said

Rachel agreed, when they got the boat into the water they all said their goodbyes and Nathan assured them they would be as quick as they could.

"Luke" Nathan shouted and waved for him to come near him. "Be Careful"

Nathan couldn't help but feel guilty for leaving them their, for leaving his brother their. He and Lucas, in the past couple of months they have been extremely close. Even though Nathan didn't show it much like he should, he cared a lot about his brother and he wanted him to be safe.

"Yeah," Lucas nodded, "you too."

As Lucas watched his brother, best friend, and his other friends row them self away into the night he knew all they could do was wait. Just hoping, praying they would be okay, and that the rangers would make it back in time before those men could. They all sat around together, Brooke locked in Lucas's arms, he was holding her nice and close not letting any harm near her. Jake was resting his leg with Mouth and Peyton close by. They all just sat in silence and did the only thing they could do. Wait.
