Hey everyone! Thanks all of you for your appreciated reviews :D! As I've said earlier, this chapter is longer than the past 2 chapters, so I hope you'll like it. Also, Haley is finally introduced in this chapter; I'm sorry I didn't introduce her earlier, but I hope reading this chapter would satisfy Haley's absence from the previous chapters.

So, Read, Review, & Enjoy :)!

Here's the sixth chapter entitled, "The Real Angel".

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lucas opened his vivid, aqua eyes. He was tied to a pillar and so was Nathan.

"Wake up Nate!" whispered Lucas.

Nathan weakly opened his bright, blue eyes. He examined his surroundings; they were definitely in a tunnel.

"What's going on?" asked Nathan.

"Shush! Isn't it obvious? We've been captured by the beasts." Lucas answered with a low voice.

"You mean Shax demons?" he whispered.

"Yeah!'' Lucas answered annoyingly.

Suddenly, they heard a loud moan coming from the other side; it appeared that another person was trapped with them.

"Who's there?" asked Lucas.

"Please don't hurt me!" cried the other person. It was definitely a female.

"Don't be scared, we won't hurt you. We're trapped here as well." replied Nathan.

"What's going on? Where am I? Please help me!" cried the frightened woman.

"Please be quiet or they might come here!" whispered Lucas in a firm voice.

"Don't worry; we won't let anything bad happen to you." Nathan assured, "What's your name?"

"My name is Haley…" she answered, "Please don't let them get me…"

"We won't," Nathan promised, "we'll get you out as soon as possible…"

"But we can't get out on our own." Lucas interrupted, "we need help..."

"And help is here!" said a familiar, feminine voice.

"Peyton!" exclaimed Lucas in a low voice, "How did you find us?"

"Long story short," explained Peyton, "I saw them carrying Nathan into their car, and I followed them here."

Peyton untied them hoping to get some answers soon.

As soon as Nathan was untied, he hurried towards Haley. He felt sorry for what they did to her… Her lovely, pretty face was badly bruised, and her sparkling, baby-blue eyes felt as if they were tortured for a long time. Her body was shaking from fright that had haunted her for days, weeks, or maybe even months. She had an astonishing physique that made her different from those weak, helpless girls; yet, at that moment, she looked vulnerable and powerless just like the others. How could he be fooled by Brooke who'd he thought was an angel? It turned out that Brooke was actually the devil; not only because she had betrayed and tricked him, but also because he had finally met the real angel – Haley. But sadly, this angel's wings were broken…

"Are you hurt?" Nathan asked worriedly as he untied her.

"What do you think?" she answered.

A weak smile crept on his face. "How did you come here? How did you meet them?"

Haley suddenly burst into tears. She finally spoke as she calmed down.

"They came… out of nowhere… they just came into our house… The four of us - Mom, Dad, my older sister, Taylor, and I - heard voices downstairs. My father calmed us down and said that he would check what's going on. After about five minutes, we heard him shout and scream. My mother got frightened and ordered Taylor to call 911 as she went down the stairs. But soon enough we heard her scream as well..." she paused, taking her breath, "Taylor quickly opened her phone and tried to dial 911, but it was too late. They were already upstairs with our parents' – my parents' - blood all over their faces and clothes…" she trailed off.

"It's okay," consoled Nathan, "you can let it all out now or tell us when you're ready."

"Thank you," she said, wiping her tears, "for everything…"

"It's my pleasure," he responded, "that's what we do."

They both looked deep into each other's eyes. Soon enough, Nathan forgot about Brooke and her evil schemes, and Haley forgot about her rough past. They were safe in each others' eyes, separated from the whole world; it was only him and her, and they wanted it that way. The attraction between them couldn't be denied even during these intense circumstances. It was as if they had met before, but they weren't so sure.

The secured, comforted moment was disrupted by Peyton.

"What's going on?" asked Peyton, still confused, "Who are they, and why are they doing this to you?"

"Peyt, I know you have a lot of questions, and I promise that I'll answer them. But now, you need to go and hide, because these guys… I mean beasts are very dangerous!" said Lucas.

"Please take Haley with you," continued Nathan, "and take good care of her."

Peyton nodded as the four went to an intersection of two passages.

"Where is the way out?" asked Nathan.

"To the left." answered Peyton.

"You and Haley go to the left, and we'll go to the right." Lucas ordered, "We've got some unfinished business to do."

"Okay…" said Peyton with fear in her eyes.

"Don't worry, Peyt; everything is gonna be okay. Take care..."

The two shared a passionate kiss; it would have lasted much longer if they were somewhere less dangerous.

Nathan walked towards Haley, removed one last drop of tears from her cheeks, and vowed that he would meet her again.

The two girls smiled – with fear in their eyes - and waved good bye as they walked towards the way out. The brothers, on the other hand, walked towards the other side of the tunnel, where trouble would certainly surface.

"Nice going bro." said Nathan, hinting on the kiss.

Lucas smiled back. "So we're cool?"

"Yeah…" he answered, "I couldn't believe Brooke lied to me!"

"Who's she?"

"Long story, bro…"

Even after the fight that the two had and the evil thoughts that were brainwashed into Nathan's head by Brooke, the bond between them was still tight; neither an argument nor a silly girl could tear their relationship apart.

The two finally reached the end of the tunnel. They saw an old, creepy man opposing them from the other end. A large group of followers were right behind him.

"We were waiting for you!" shouted the old man.
