"What the hell!" Nathan yelled as him and Lucas both took off towards the screams.

They didn't have to run to far it seemed, they could see from a distance, all three girls on the ground huddled together very scared. Two men were holding guns at them, and that crazy old lady was there too. However there was another man there, but he was dead, and it was obvious he was the one who was just shot.

"You crazy bastard you just killed one of the few men you have left!" The old lady screamed.

Haley, Peyton, and Brooke were okay, they just had some nicks and bruises after the crash.

"Get them, Get them." they could hear a voice from afar.

They saw some familiar faces and felt themselfs being dragged, once again. Trying to break free, however they knew it wasn't any use.

"Let go." Haley tried pushing the men away.

"You bitch!" Brooke yelled at the old lady was standing their smiling. Brooke tried to go after her when she was pushed to the ground, as were the other girls.

They were fully alert now and could see two of the men arguing.

"This all could of been prevented if it wasn't for you!" The one shouted to the other.

"ME? I had this all planned exactly how I wanted and you're stupid ideas ruined everything! IT was you're fault those kids escaped in the first place! You're fault Matthew is dead. And you're fault that practically everyone else is dead. YOU SHOULD BE KILLED!"

Just then the man who was yelling pulled out his gun about to shoot. However the other man managed to tackle him into the girls, causing them to scream afraid of the gun going off.

After about a second or two after being tackled the man quickly turned around and shot the one who he was yelling at just seconds before. The girls just looked , horrified at what they had just seen.

"We are better off without him, he was ruining everything." the man told the old lady. He looked over his shoulder and smiled at Lucas and Nathan.

"It's about time you boys showed up." he sneered.

Lucas and Nathan stopped dead in their tracks. There were only two of them, and the old lady. The only three left.

"Come here." One of the men said.

Lucas and Nathan did exactly what they were told, not having any plan of what to do.

"Hello Lucas long time no see." the old lady laughed.

"Hm, only two of you?" The other man spoke. "Where is the older one."

Lucas and Nathan were silent.

"Oh , oh I see." He laughed. "How on earth did I forget? He died."

The girls all looked up at Nathan and Lucas afraid of their responses. Lucas and Nathan could feel their bodies heating up.

"Poor guy." The lady laughed.

Lucas looked up at the guy who was laughing.

"I believe that was you're uncle?" The man said walking up to Lucas and Nathan. " I guess that just put the cherry on top of all this fun you kids are having this week."

He got up closer to them. Lucas knew what he was trying to do, he was mocking them, just making fun of all of their pain.

"You're just trying to taunt me, I'm not going to hit you." Lucas told him. Trying to calm himself down, he was so afraid he was going to do something stupid.

The man put his hands down, his gun still in hand, and just started to laugh even harder.

"That's okay Lucas." Nathan started. "Because I am." Nathan punched the man and tackled him to his ground, grabbing the hand, which the gun was in, holding it away.

"Lucas!" Haley screamed, Lucas was about to go and help Nathan when the other man with the gun had it pointed at Lucas.

"Do it." the old lady yelled. Lucas looked at the man and could see the fear in his eyes

"I..I" the man started.

"What the hell!" the old lady snatched the gun from his hands before she could even point it at Lucas she was hit to the ground. Both Brooke and Peyton knocked her to the ground, with the gun falling out of her hand.

"You little bitches!" the old lady shrieked.

The guy went to go for the gun when Lucas punched the guy in the face. It was madness. Nathan was rolling around trying to wrestle out the gun from the man's hand, Brooke and Peyton were over top of the lady , yelling and occasional kick when she was trying to get up. Lucas was fighting the one guy, Haley could already tell how tired he was getting.

Lucas felt the man give him such a hard hit, right in the jaw. The impact was so hard Lucas fell to the ground. He quickly sat up sliding back looking up at the man, afraid of what he was going to do. He was looking right at his face , the man was so angry and looked so mean when suddenly after a loud bang, his face went blank. He fell to his knees and on top of Lucas. Lucas could feel the blood soaking onto his clothes and he quickly pushed the man off of him and looked up.

Haley stood their the gun still pointed and her breathing heavy.

Peyton and Brooke looked over at her. Lucas got up and grabbed the gun from her and she turned to his shoulder and cried.

"I,I can't believe I just killed a man." she cried out.

Lucas wanted to try and comfort her but looked over and saw Nathan , and the man he was fighting. They were standing the gun was clearly knocked out of their hands, to far away for either of them to reach it. They were standing and Nathan was pushed up against the tree the man's back was not turned towards Lucas, and the guy had a knife to his throat. It was like no matter what, these men didn't run out of weapons.

"Drop it." The man said to Lucas.

Lucas had the gun pointing at him. He had no other choice but to place it down. The old lady quickly got up and ran towards the man who had Nathan, not even bothering to grab the gun. She was limping.

"Nathan." Haley cried even harder on Lucas.

Brooke and Peyton were behind Lucas, crying on each other as well scared of what was going to happen.

The man smiled and went to whisper to Nathan.

"You're girlfriend is pretty hot." He laughed. "I might have to get to know her a little better after I kill you and you're brother."

"Screw you." Nathan yelled in his face. "Screw you, you sick son of a..."

Nathan's words were cut of by a sharp pain in his left side of his stomach.

"Nathan!" Lucas screamed.

The man and stabbed Nathan. He was about to stab him again when Lucas quickly fell to the ground and grabbed the gun and shot the man three times, he also shot the lady twice. He didn't even feel him shoot the lady, he was just so angry, so filled up with emotion he hated her so much, he was happy to see the pain in her eyes and see her fall to the ground.

Lucas was relieved to see the man fall to the ground but his heart broke when he saw Nathan fall right after him.

They all ran up to him, Nathan's hands were shaking.

"Oh god, Nathan." Brooke said. Her and Peyton ran towards the street, hoping a car would come by, or they could get Karens car to start, anything they were hoping to find, to help save Nathan.

"Come on Nathan, you'll be okay." Lucas told him, taking his shirt off and putting it up to Nathan's wound.

"H-Hales." Nathan grabbed her hand. " Y-you made my l-l-life w-worth living."

"Nathan, you can't die." Haley cried out. Grabbing his hand and putting it on her stomach. "you're going to be a daddy."

Nathan looked up and gave her a weak smile.

"I was going to tell you this week."

Nathan took her hand and put it on his heart, his hands continuing to shake.

"Always and f-forever." he managed to say.

"Come on Nathan, just hold on a little longer." Lucas cried.

Nathan tired to speak but when he did he spit up blood.

"No, no!" Haley screamed.

"Nathan." Lucas looked at his brother, how pale he looked.

Nathan gave them both another smile and his eyes slowly closed.
