Chapter 18
Sam finally began to wake up. At first her vision was blurry but after a blinking a few times they began to adjust. Sam turned her head a little and could see Peyton holding her hand and looking in the opposite direction. As Sam followed her gaze she could see exactly what Peyton had had all her attention on. X was sitting at the Janitor's desk cleaning his Gun with a tissue. Her stomach began to turn. This was not how she planned on finding Peyton in the least.
"P….Peyton." she whispered.
Peyton turned and looked at her. She gave the weakest excuse for a smile Sam had ever seen. But it was a smile nonetheless and it gave Sam hope.
"Hey." said Peyton, "You had me worried there for a second."
"Oww my head is killing me. What happened?" I asked.
"You don't remember…."
"I remember I was calling Brooke and suddenly I felt very lightheaded. Then everything began to go black and I could hardly breathe and that's it before lights out."
"You collapsed and you hit your head pretty hard. You've got a cut so don't move around too much and you have to stay awake okay."
"Okay. Peyton I'm so sorry I got you into this."
"Hey. I don't want to hear that this is not your fault at all. Sam you're like a niece to me and I love you very much as does your mom. The only thing that I ask is that you talk to us because holding this all in is not good at all. And no, before you say anything telling us in the first place probably wouldn't have prevented any of this because he'd still be a psycho."
'Is Sawyer okay?"
"Yes she's fine. She's a little warrior just like her cousin and Godmother."
"So what do we do?"
"The only thing we can do….wait."
Peyton was doubtful but she didn't let that show. She didn't want to worry Sam who was already worrying about way too much. She just prayed that everything would be okay and that someone would find them sooner rather than later.
……………………………………………………………………………………………….................................................................................................................................
Haley and Brooke had just finished walking out of the last house on her list of Sam's friends and had no success. None of them had heard from Sam since the last time they saw her in school. Most of them asked if they could help search for her but Brooke didn't want to risk another person getting snatched by X.
"Haley I'm supposed to meet X in a hour what do I do?" asked Brooke frantically looking down at her watch.
"I don't know Brooke?" said Haley honestly.
This was the first time Haley didn't have any advice for Brooke and when Hailey didn't have any advice you knew things were bad. This was horrible everything seemed to be going wrong. And she knew that this was probably just the start of everything. Brooke was going to break down again and she knew she couldn't do that because then it would be impossible for her to find Sam and Peyton.
"I have to go…" said Brooke.
"Are you sure?"
"Absolutely not but I can not let Peyton die. I know that Sam's out here somewhere and if we don't find her before I go…. Well you all will find her. I know that and when you do I want you to take her in can you do that?"
"Yes of course."
"And I want you to tell her why I had to do this and that it has nothing to do with me not loving her because I do more than anything. And that I'm so sorry and I wish it didn't have to be this way."
Brooke was now in tears. She was going to lose everything. She knew that this was so unfair to Sam.
"Its okay I'm used to people giving up on me." a broken down and tearful Sam explained while sitting across from Brooke at the diner.
That seemed like so long ago now. But there was something wrong about that statement.. Brooke wasn't giving up on Sam, she was saving her. Brooke already knew that the cops had put a trace on her phone. And the evidence of that was at the end of the block in an unmarked police car with two undercover police men inside. She was going to lead them to X. She knew that even if they couldn't save her that they could save Peyton and wherever Peyton was Brooke had a feeling in the pit of her stomach that Sam was close by.
………………………………………………………………………………………………..............................................................................................................................
X got up from the desk and walked over to Peyton and Sam, still holding the gun in his hand.
"Well I've got a few errands to run so get up." He ordered.
Peyton stood up then helped Sam get up. Sam winced in pain as her head began to hurt immensely. She was guessing that she had a concussion. Peyton sat in the chair that she was sitting in before. X got the chair at the desk and set it by Peyton's so that Sam could sit. She looked at Peyton as if for permission and Peyton nodded her head yes. Sam knew that Peyton had a plan. Sam sat on the chair and X tied her and Peyton up. He also put tape on there mouth for self-reassurance.
"Now listen carefully…" he began, "I am going out and if you even attempt to do anything stupid I will kill both Lucas and Brooke. Well actually I've already got Brooke. Let's just say she's made her deal with the devil. There's no doubt in my mind that Ms. Davis has something up her sleeve to save you Peyton but its not going to save her."
Sam didn't know what was going on and neither did Peyton. Why would Brooke make a deal with him? She knew that it was for Peyton but what about her? If Brooke died she'd be alone again and she didn't want that.
"Well Sammy looks like you're an orphan again." smiled X.
Sam cursed at him but the tape over her mouth didn't let the words come out. X knew exactly what she had said though.
With that X left the basement. They waited for a while then Sam looked to Peyton for what to do next. Peyton gestured towards the desk. There were sharp scissors on it. If they could rub the rope against them long enough then it would probably break. There was only one problem with that….The desk was on the other side of the room. Sam suddenly got an idea. Xavier had been too stupid to tie their legs. Sam put all her balance into her legs and stood. She was hunched over and it was kind of hard to see.
As she made her way over to the desk she accidently banged into the wall and fell over. She could hear Peyton laughing at her and she gave Peyton a dirty look. Sam rolled over and she was right beside the desk. She tried to kick the desk and the first time she failed horrible but the second time the scissors fell beside her on the ground.
Sam rolled onto her side so that her back was facing the desk and she had a clear view of Peyton and the door. She felt around for the scissors and when she finally got them in her grip she began to cut the ropes. Finally after about five minutes she was free. She pulled the tape off her mouth.
"Oww" she said in pain.
"MMMM…!" Peyton yelled telling Sam to hurry up and untie her.
"Oh hold your horses." Sam sassed.
She carefully cut the ropes that held Peyton to the chair. When Peyton was loose Sam pulled off the tape.
"SAMANTHA!!" yelled Peyton.
"That's for laughing at Me." laughed Sam.
"Okay well we've got to get out of here and stop Brooke."
"Okay there is a payphone in the entrance."
Sam and Peyton slowly opened the exit door just as a precaution to if X was still in the building which they both highly doubted. But then again they had highly doubted that they would ever be tied to a chair and look at what happened.
"Don't you have a cell phone?" asked Sam.
"I dropped it when that creep kidnapped Me." informed Peyton.
"Yah Peyton your 23 years old I don't understand how it can still be called kidnapping."
"Watch it."
"So do you have money?"
"NO!!"
"So I have to save you twice. Women you owe me for this."
"Well in a few seconds I'm going to owe Brooke Davis a daughter if you don't shut it and call your mother."
Sam stuck out her tongue and picked up the phone. She inserted the change and called Brooke's cell knowing that she was probably out looking for her. She waited anxiously for Brooke to pick up.
………………………………………………………………………………………………...............................................................................................................................
Brooke felt her phone vibrating. She looked at the caller ID. It read payphone. Brooke picked up.
"SAM…!" yelled Brooke.
"MOM…!" Sam mimicked.
"Sam where are you? Are you okay?"
"Mom I'm fine and I found Aunt Peyton, were at the school. Please don't go with him."
Brooke was quiet. She didn't know what to say to Sam. Haley looked at the expression on Brooke's face and immediately knew that it was Sam on the other line.
"Haley drive to the school." said Brooke taking the phone off of her ear and coving the voice part, "Sam and Peyton are okay."
Brooke put the phone back to her ear still not knowing how to reply.
"Okay Sam." was all she managed.
"Where are you?" Sam asked.
"Were on our way to get you." said Brooke.
"Okay well the minutes on this payphone are running out please hurry." Sam begged before hanging up.
Brooke knew that Haley was going to argue with her about the decision that she was about to make. But this was the only way she knew that could prevent X from coming back and hurting anyone else.
"Haley I have to meet with X" Brooke stated.
