I dream in darkness
I sleep to die,
Erase the silence,
Erase my life,
Our burning ashes
Blacken the day,
A world of nothingness,
Blow me away.

Evanescence "Sweet Sacrifice"

Peyton put the car in park in front of her house. She looked up at it and was surprised to see a familiar form standing on her porch. She got out of the car and ran up to them. "Anna?" Anna turned around and faced her. It was evident that she had been crying. "Anna what's wrong?"

"Felix.. Felix is dead.." Peyton pulled Anna into a hug. She dug her keys out of her pocket and unlocked the front door while still holding into a crying Anna.

"I need to get some things for Haley then I'll take you to the hospital with me. It isn't safe to be alone." Anna nodded and Peyton ran up to her room.

Haley opened her eyes and blinked several times against the harsh bright light. She looks around the room and starts to panic a little. She doesn't like that she's alone. As she looks up at the ceiling the night's previous events keep playing in her head.

Haley walked into the kitchen to get a drink of water. As soon as she entered the kitchen she felt a hand cover her mouth. She tried to scream but she was only pulled into the person's body. "Don't say a word or your girlfriend's next." Haley instantly calmed down. The voice sounded familiar yet unfamiliar at the same time. She didn't have much time to think about it. She felt a needle press into her skin.

Everything passed by her in a blur. She could barely make out the shapes of the houses around her. She was aware that somewhere was holding onto her. She could hear someone yelling her name. She knew the voice but she couldn't place it. She was disoriented. She felt her feet touch the ground. She stumbled as she tried to turn around.

She held a hand up to block the bright light in front of her. She heard the hum of the engine but thought it was a bird. "Haley!" She turned her head at the sound. She saw Lucas. He was blurry but she saw him. He was shouting something at her but it was too late. Something hard connected with her body. She was thrown over the car. She laid on the ground, cold. Then everything went black.

"Peyton!" She sat straight up in the bed. She pulled the needles out of her skin and unhooked all the machines. She threw the covers off of her body and stumbled towards the door. She opened the door and looked into the hallway, it was empty. She stepped out into the empty hallway and turned towards a slightly darker hallway. She had to get out of here. She had to find her girlfriend. She had to tell her what was going on. She had to tell her who it was.

She had a searing pain in her head. She stumbled another step forward then collapsed. She landed on the cold tiled floor. She blinked against the pain before passing out once again.

Peyton put a framed photo of her and Haley in a box. The box contained a colorful blanket, some books, a photo album, an ipod, and a change of clothes for when Haley was released. She carried the box downstairs where Anna was waiting. "Everyone was staying at Haley and Rachel's apartment but we're moving to Nathan and Lucas' house. You're welcome to stay with us." She smiled sadly. "There's safety in numbers."

"Thank you Peyton." Anna followed Peyton out the front door and to the car. "I didn't know where else to turn. Felix was the only person I had."

Peyton nodded sadly. She understood. She really did. Haley was the only person she really had. Sure she had lots of friends but Haley was the only who mattered the most. Haley was the only one who made her feel safe. She was the only who understood her.
