It had been 2 months since Gabriella had been back to school and everything had gone well. Nothing suspicious had happened and everything had gone back to normal. Gabriella had got her confidence back and wasn't afraid to be on her own and the rest of the gang had become less protective and less on guard all the time. If only they had known that on that Thursday their lives were going to change forever.

----------

Taylor was walking down the empty corridors of East High towards the office where she was going to drop off some reports for her history teacher, Mr Howard. Loud footsteps echoed down the corridor as someone ran around the corner.

"Taylor, there you are, man you walk fast" Kelsi panted bending over trying to catch her breath.

"Oh hey Kels, sorry I didn't hear you call me."

"That's ok Taylor, don't worry. Actually I needed to ask you a favour"

"Sure what's up?"

"Well the computer in the music room is playing up. I'm not sure what's wrong with and I thought, seeing as you are like a computer whiz, maybe you could help because I really need to finish the compositions I've got on there."

"Well I can have a look at it to see what I can do. I've got a free period next so I can meet you in there."

"That's perfect, thank you"

"No problem, anyway better get going otherwise Mr Howard will start asking questions."

"Yeah, see ya." Kelsi smiled at Taylor as she walked down the hallway, her eyes following her every movement. As soon as Taylor rounded the corner the smile fell from Kelsi's face. She made her way down the hallway in the opposite direction then Taylor towards the library. Once she reached the library Kelsi sat in the corner away from everyone else. She pulled out a piece of paper, pen and a book. Placing the paper and pen down on the desk she stood the book up so that it covered what she was doing so no-one would be able to see the paper. Making sure she was alone she began writing on the paper.

'Hey guys...

Once she finished she folded up the piece of paper and made her way out of the library. She stopped when she reached the locker she was looking for. Taking the note she slipped it through the gap and let it fall in to the locker and walked away towards the music room where she was going to wait for Taylor and the fun would really begin.

"OK class for your homework I would like you to read chapter 14, ready for a test next lesson so make sure you do it" Mr Howard told his class.

"Another test is he joking." Chad moaned

"Don't moan Chad there's nothing you can do about it." Taylor replied whilst nudging his arm

"That's ok for you to say Tay your smart you always do well I always fail."

"That's because I actually do the homework and read the chapter rather than rushing to read as much of the chapter as possible an hour before the test."

"Hey habit of a lifetime why change it now" Chad laughed

The bell rang signalling the end of the class. The students all made their way out of the class and off to their next lesson.

"So what you got now Tay?" Chad asked

"I'm on a free so I'm going to help Kelsi. She said there's something wrong with the computer in the music room so I'm going to try and fix it"

"Lucky you, I got Math. See ya later Tay"

"See ya Chad" She waved to him as he ran off down the hallway his afro bobbing up and down as he ran. Laughing to herself she turned and made her way towards the music room. Once she reached the music room she knocked on the door and entered seeing Kelsi sitting by the piano looking at something.

"Hey Kels." Taylor said and the petite girls head shot as she put the object in her pocket.

"Oh, hey Taylor. Sorry I was in my own little world there" she nervously laughed

"That's ok. So where's this computer you want me to look at"

"Over here," she led Taylor over to the corner of the room "I'm not really sure what's wrong with it but it's not working properly and it's really slow"

"Ok well I'll have a look. No harm in trying right" She said as she sat down at the computer desk and turned it on. Whilst Taylor was starting up the computer Kelsi quietly made her way over to the bag and took something out of it.

"Kelsi are you sure there is something wrong. It seems to be fine to me. Its working perfect" Kelsi didn't reply she just walked up behind Taylor and raised her shaking hand level to Taylor's head

"Kelsi" Taylor repeated as she turned around and gasped as she found herself starring down the barrel of a gun. She panicked and tried to run

"DONT MOVE," Kelsi shouted "SIT DOWN AND DONT MOVE." Taylor stared up at Kelsi, her eyes had turned nearly black and she looked evil. Tears started to come down Taylors face

"What are doing?" Taylor whispered

"What does it look like I'm doing...I'm taking you hostage." Kelsi sneered causing Taylor to gasp

"Hostage how is taking me hostage going to help you. I can't get you anything"

"It's not what you can get...It's who. You are just part of my plan Taylor."

"Kelsi, I don't get it who do you want?" Kelsi laughed to herself.

"And you're supposed to be smart. I want Sharpay. I want her to be my best friend; I want her to be my lover. I love her and I want her to be mine and I will get her."

"Kelsi what's wrong with you. Sharpay's with Troy she loves him. What are you going to do to her? You have a gun you can't... 'SMACK' Kelsi slapped her around the face.

"Don't tell me what I can and can't do you hear me I have had enough of people telling me what to do and if I was you I wouldn't be so demanding when someone has a gun to your head," She poked the end of the gun right up into Taylors temple "you never know how easy it is for it to all be over. One wrong word and bang, you're gone so shut your mouth. Understand?" Taylor had her eyes tightly squeezed together with tears pouring from them whilst slightly nodding her head.

"Good now I'm not here to hurt you so do as I say and you will get out of here without harm ok?" Taylor nodded her head again in reply

"Stand up and sit with your back against the piano leg" Taylor made her way to the piano and sat on the floor crying silently as Kelsi tied her arms behind her back and to the piano leg.

"There, now you can't make a run for it, which would be stupid if you did because I would have to kill you." Kelsi laughed to herself as she opened her bag and pulled out her sports bottle and took a massive swig then groaning as the vodka slipped down her throat.

"You know it's funny, you thinking I'm going to hurt Sharpay. I just told you I love her why would I kill her? I need her." Taylor anxiously lifted her head to stare into Kelsi's demonic looking eyes

"Then why the gun? Is it just to scare us"

"Oh no the guns going to be used to get rid of the one person standing in my way of having Sharpay for myself and this time my plan is not going to back fire"

"Kelsi who are you talking about" Kelsi laughed to herself again and got right up into Taylors face

"I'm going to kill Gabriella" Kelsi laughed, the evil demonic laugh, to herself again as Taylor sat there with wide eyes and her jaw hanging wide "You see the first time didn't work. She managed to get to the hospital they got the drugs out of her system but this time will be different. I will succeed I will not fail again as soon as they walk through that door Gabriella's fate will be sealed."

Sharpay and Gabriella made their way down the hallway towards Gabriella's locker after their English Lesson.

"So how are things with Ryan, Gabs? Every time I ask him he blushes and tells me to mind my own business" Sharpay asked.

"There really good. I really like him Pay. I just feel complete when I'm with him"

"That's awesome so do you think he's going to ask you prom?"

"Pay proms months away, I haven't even thought about it"

"Why not I've thought about Prom from the second I walked through the doors of East High"

"Why does that not surprise me" Gabriella giggled as she opened her locker where a note fell out on to the ground.

"Who's sending notes to you Miss Montez?"

"Its Tay," Gabriella said as she opened the note "It says...

Hey guys

I got something really important I need to tell you. Meet me in the music room at lunch

Tay

Xoxoxox

The two girls looked at each other

"Wonder what's important?" Gabriella questioned

"Well we are never going to know unless we go find her. Come on girl, let's go" Sharpay laughed as she dragged Gabriella down the hall towards the music room. If only they knew they were about to step into their worst nightmare. A nightmare where they might not make it out of alive.
