Claire Bennet and Peter Petrelli

1:26 pm

Classroom

The room was vancant. Neither Zach or Lyle were waiting for her. Where did they go and why didn't they just wait for her to return? This was just great.

Claire: Dammit

Peter: What?

Claire: my brother and Zach are gone.

Peter: Who?

Claire: We have to find them.

She couldn't believe they would just leave like this. Were they looking for Claire right now? What if Josh had found them? He would defidnely kill them if he did. Claire was so tired of this. Why did everyone have to be such jerks to Josh? If it wasn't for them this wouldn't have happened and everything would be fine, wouldn't it? And where were all the police? Why didn't they do their jobs surely they knew about the shooting by now. They had to.

Peter: Wait, what happened?

Claire: I don't know, their gone now and I told them not to leave.

Peter: Claire maybe they didn't just leave

Claire: What?

Peter: Maybe that shooter found them or somthing

Claire: Peter! Don't say that...

Peter: What? I'm trying to help you.

Claire: Well it's not working!

Peter: Claire I was just syaing it's possible.

Claire looked at him for a moment. She didn't want to believe him, but it was seriously a possibility. There was no way Josh would find them though. And even if he did wouldn't he just shoot them? Well Claire hated that thought as well so she stopped thinking about it and closed her eyes. She was starting to get a bad headache.

Claire: No...that..they wouldn't...

Peter: They could

Claire: You don't...just leave me alone Peter...

She pushed past him and went into the hallway. Peter didn't follow her. She saw the way he looked at her. He actually seemed upset after she left. Why did Claire have to get so mad at him? he hand't done anything wrong and the odds were Zach and Lyle left because they wanted to, not because they had to. Besides Josh wasn't going to take anybody hostage was he? Really what would be the point of that?

She looked around angry to see the hallway was still empty. No sign of Zach nor Lyle, no police officers or anybody else for that matter. Why wasn't anybody helping the students? There was a gunman inside the school and nobody was evn going to try and stop him. What were they waiting for?

Zach and Lyle Bennet

1:27 pm

hallway

Only moments after Claire left Zach and Lyle agreed to go help her. They ran downstairs and searched everywhere but there was no sign of Claire. They did find a pool of blood in one hallway which freaked both of them out. Josh was seriously shooting people wasn't he? Lyle had already encountered him once and defidently didn't want to again.

The two teenagers were on their way back upstairs when they heard more gunshots. That meant Josh was still trying to kill students, that also meant he was going to shoot anybody that got in his way. They had to find Claire. Even though they both knew about her ability to heal but that didn't give them any reason not to worry.

Zach: Where do you think she went?

Lyle: I don't know...

Claire Bennet

1:29 pm

Hallway

Claire went stood in the hallay for a long time, or at least it seeme like it. She had lost track of time a while ago. Peter walked into the hallway and stood next to her. She didn't look at him. Didn't acknowledge that he was even there. And he didn't say anything to her either. Claire finally glanced over at him. he was staring at the ground. What was she doing? Being angry while other kids were dying?

Why was she busy being so selfish while there was a spycho running around with a gun? They had wasted at least ten minutes now and she still wasn't doing anything. Claire turned so she was facing Peter.

Claire: I'm sorry

Peter: No, I am, you're right it was stupid.

Claire: Lets' just go we're wasting time.

Peter nodded and Claire grabbed his hand, the two of them set fof for the staircase when they heard the gunshots right under them, on the floor below. Three gunshots, followed by screaming. Claire stopped and Peter did the same. The gunshots stopped and Claire found that she could not move an inch. Sombody had just been shot and it was all her fault. Because she was busy complaining.

Peter: Come on!

He got Claires attention, they both ran the rest of the way down the steps to see four people. Josh was standing by the stairs pointning his gun at a girl on the cheerleading squad named Haley. Zach and Lyle were both standing behind her. He turned when they got to the bottom of the steps. Josh seemed shocked to see Peter alive.

Josh: Do not come any closer!

Claire: Don't Josh leave them alone. What did they do to you?

Josh: Stay away or a swear to God i'll kill them!

Claire: Josh please just leave them alone.

Josh: No! Stop!

Claire: Fine, now leave them alone...

Josh shook his head and aimed the gun at Claire.

Josh: back off!

Claire: No.

Peter looked from Josh to Claire before pulling Claire behind him protectively.

Claire: Josh this isn't going to help you ok? You're only hurting other people because you're scared

Josh: I'm not scared anymore!

Claire: Just stop...

Josh looked at Claire for such a logng time, she expected him to shoot her but instead he turned and pointed the gun at Zach.

Josh: You guys made me do this...I didn't want to...

Noah Bennet

1:34 pm

Schoolyard

Noah hadn't been worried when he heard about a school shooting. he knew about at least four schools in the area. He wasn't worried when they announced that there was a gunman inside the school. He was worried when they announced it was his childrens school over the radio. He had been at work until then. After hearing about it Noah left work right away and went home where Sandra was sitting in front of the televison watching the news, she was a wreck. They showed the outside of the school and at least three or maybe even four different police units were waiting outside with their weapons drawn.

There was some ambulences parked outside as well. A reporter began talking about the shooting. Only about fifty or maybe sixty students escaped from the school since the shooting began. They also announced that so far no injuries were reported but gunshots have been heard Sandra was trying to contact both children but reported they weren't picking up their phones.

Not many things actually scared Noah. This was one of the few things that terrified him. The thoguht of sombody going into the school with a loaded gun and killing innocent children. Even if the gunman himself was a student there as well. How could sombody do somthing like this? Noah told SAndra to stay home. he went and got his keys before going to his car and getting in.

He drove to the school.

A/N: Sorry this chapter is pretty short, again.
