Do You Really Mean It?

Chapter 33- I Love You


Ok, so for the second time in one week I am doing this, sniffle, sniffle, cry. I think there is only 3 more chapters left, including this one. There is a possiblility of a sequel, but it probably wouldn't be up until like... 2 months from now. I also have other story ideas on my profile, near the end of where you can write whatever you like. I have a survey on which story you would like to come next, but check my profile often, cause I will have new story ideas, or HSM3 news. Awards...

"GABRIELLA!" Sharpay screamed.

"GABS!" Taylor and Kelsi added.

That was all that Troy could hear. He was currently a little light headed, and he had no clue what was going on. All he knew that something had happened to Brie.

"Im going in." Chad said, taking off his shoes.

"So am I." Zeke added.

"Wait!" Ryan screamed, causing the friends to look at him worridly. "The shadows, they went into the water, remember what happened the other day in the canoes?"

"Oh yeah, they almost got us." Jason said.

"I don't care, we have to go save her." Chad stated.

"And if you guys won't go in, then I will." Kelsi replied.

"No, you guys aren't going in, I am." Troy stated, standing up. He had finally realize what they were talking about.

"Troy! You are you again!" Sharpay said.

"How long has Brie been in there?" Troy asked.

"About 20 seconds." Ryan replied.

"WILL YOU GUYS JUST SHUT UP AND JUMP IN!" Taylor yelled, getting everyone's attention.

Instantly, Troy jumped into the lake with a splash.

"Troy!" Kelsi yelled.

"Guys, look for something to get them to hold onto." Zeke said, looking for something.

"DUCK!" Jason screamed. The friends instantly ducked as two more of those shadow creatures flew into the water.

"Uh oh." Chad stated.

"We need to get help." Sharpay said.

"I don't know how much those councilers can help us now." Taylor replied


Troy swam under the murkey water, his eyes opened. He couldn't see Gabriella...aha! She was drifting futher down.

"No!" Troy managed to say underwater, swimming as fast as he could. He swam and picked her up, struggling to bring him and Gabriella to the surface.

"Troy!" Chad yelled, as the friends ran to a part of the land that was like a beach, and where Troy was about 10 feet away.

"What!?" Troy yelled, struggling to keep him and his lifeless friend above the surface.

"Behind you!" Sharpay yelled, pointing.

Troy turned his head to see a dark shadow moving quickly under the water.

"Guys!" Troy yelled, swimming faster.

"Troy, try to grab onto this!" Ryan yelled, as the friends pushed a long peice of wood into the lake.

Troy was only 8 feet away when he felt Gabriella move. She started to wake up.

"Gabriella!?" Troy asked.

"Yeah, now hurry up! Let me kick too." Gabriella replied, knowing what was behind them.

"Gabs!" Taylor yelled. "Your awake!"

"AHHH!" Gabriella screamed, being dragged under the water.

"BRIE!" Troy yelled, diving under.

"GUYS!" Zeke yelled.

The friends watched anxiously for the two to return to the surface...no such luck.

"WHERE THE HECK ARE THEY!?" Sharpay screamed.

"You know, what, I don't care now, I am going in!" Chad stated.

"WAIT! LOOK." Kelsi replied, pointing to the splashing noise.

Troy surfaced the water, a deep cut on his hand, with Gabriella, but this time, she looked worse than she did than before.

"Troy!" Taylor shouted.

"What happened to Gabriella?" Jason asked.

Chad stepped into the water, and helped Troy get Gabriella out of the water.

"Oh no, she looks horrible." Kelsi stated, trying to look for something to help Gabriella's wounds.

"She does, we need a cloth." Taylor instructed.

Gabriella had a cut on her left cheek, and a bruise on her ankle. She also looked very pale.

"Brie, can you hear me?" Troy asked, worried.

The friends stared at Gabriella, she mumbled something, but it wasn't clear.

"Ok, so she is still awake, and hopefully it stays that way." Ryan stated.

Taylor checked her pulse, Taylor's face draining color. "Her pulse is very faint."

The friends looked at Gabriella, worry evident on their face. Most of them were pale, and Troy was crying.

"Brie." Troy said sadly, hugging her.

"Guys." Kelsi said, frozen, tapping on Sharpay's arm.

"What Kels?" Sharpay asked.

"Th-there back." Kelsi stated, pointing to the shadows behind them.

"What the heck?" Chad asked, picking up a stick.

"Look, Gabs necklace." Taylor pointed out, taking the necklace off of Gabriella.

"It is blinking again, but we have better things to worry about." Jason replied.

"No, that isn't what we mean." Kelsi said.

"HELP!" Chad yelled, trying to defend himself from the 'things.'

"CHAD!" Taylor yelled.

"A stick won't work, we will need something else." Ryan replied.

"GUYS!" Kelsi screamed. Her friends glanced at her for a second.

"What, we need to get this thing away from us!" Sharpay yelled, the shadows approaching them.

Although Troy could hear them, he didn't. He was off in his own world, which consisted of everything getting better.

"The necklace, throw it at them!" Kelsi yelled.

"What the heck?" Chad asked. "Why a necklace?"

"What!? That is the craziest thing I have heard." Zeke added.

"FINE! THEN I WILL DO IT!" Kelsi yelled, pitching the necklace straight at the closest shadow.

The friends watched in amazement. The necklace went through the first one, touched the second and landed. The pearl started to light up, sucking in the shadows, capturing them in the pearl. Two more shadows from the lake and another one from behind Troy, that was in the forest, was also sucked into the pearl.

"It worked." Chad said in amazement.

"It did." Taylor added.

"Great that you all believe me, but we have to help Gabs!" Kelsi screamed.

They all turned to watch what was happening before them. Troy was crying, hugging Gabriella.

"Oh no, please tell me..." Ryan stated, getting tears to his eyes.

"No, none of this is true!" Sharpay screamed, shutting her eyes.

"Oh no, what happened?!" Taylor added, also getting teary eyed.

"Gabs." Zeke said softly.

"Please Brie, no." Troy said, crying. "I love you."

The friends cried at the thought of what happened.

Gabriella knew her friends didn't think that she heard them, she did. That was all she heard before everything went black.


Ok, is this story a little to freaky? Or did I not do a good job on making it scary?

I also have something to say before I end this chapter:
For our school trip, I am going conoeing on a 4 mile river, in the middle of the woods. Oh joy. I don't know if I am going to think of this story, but I wouldn't want to. Please review!
