"Oh my god. Have you seen that?", Jake screamed at the boys. They were all in the car when they saw someone approaching Peyton from behind and hurting her. And then they saw their girlfriends running into the woods screaming while four big men ran after them.

"What the fuck is happening?", Nathan screamed and opened the door. "Take the bats.", he screamed and all of them run into the woods after the strangers and their girlfriends. They had no clue what was happening. But it was sure that their girls were in danger. Lucas could not get the image out of his mind. Why was his pretty girl just wearing a shirt and had blood on her face?

Meanwhile Rachel, Brooke, Peyton and Haley did not know that they had so much strength left in their bodies when they started running away.

Brooke thought that she had heard her Broody screaming from behind but of course she knew that he was not there. It was just another wish that would not come true and she did not dare to turn around because she knew the only faces she would see were those of those men.

Suddenly she heard Peyton fall and looked back at her. "Shit.", she screamed and ran to Peyton. Although her whole body was in pain and she felt a burning between her legs, she managed to be faster than she ever had been.

But the men were right behind them and were very fast as well and not bruised.

Brooke helped her up and together they started running again but it did not take long that the men caught them. One of them took Peyton's arm and pulled her backwards. She fell to the ground and kicked wildly with her legs.
"Leave us alone.", she screamed in panic while the other man jumped on Brooke and made her fall to the ground hard-with her face first. Peyton and Brooke screamed.

"Get off me. Noooooo.", but all they got were punches in the stomach, face or somewhere else. The two men lifted them up and threw them to the ground again. Everything happened so fast that neither of them stood a chance to even react.

Haley and Rachel had heard their friends yelling and did not know what to do. They stopped running and looked backwards and were shocked to see how two of the men punched the crap out of their friends without mercy while they tried to defend themselves but it looked useless.

"Oh god. Oh god.", Rachel whispered and then took a big stone without thinking and ran backwards. She threw the stone on the men's head that was holding Brooke at the moment and immediately he slumped down on the ground taking Brooke with him.

Of course this caught the attention of the other men and they grabbed Rachel and Haley and pushed them hard against a tree. "You bitches."

Right now Brooke was the only one that was not caught by a man, so she tried to help the others and hit them with a big branch on the back. Again and again. "Get off of them.", she screamed helplessly while the tears streamed down her face.

Felix, Lucas, Nathan and Jake were shocked what was happening in front of them.

One man was lying on the ground and blood came out of his head while the other three were hitting their girlfriends.

Men should never hit women like this. It was a horrible view. They had no time to even think about what was happening but knew that they needed to react.

They saw how Brooke tried to get one of them off of Peyton by hitting him with a branch but he just hit her hard in the face with his elbow, so that she fell backwards to the ground and spit blood. He then let go of Peyton and jumped on Brooke and started strangling her. "You whore."

"Oh my god.", Lucas was in shock and the first one who ran down to them, immediately followed by the others.

Peyton slumped to the ground as well. Blood was all over her face and everything was a blur. She heard her friends screaming in pain and crying while these crazy strangers seemed to enjoy their pain and fear.

Suddenly she saw Jake from far away. Jake? She thought she was hallucinating but when he saw the others, Felix, Nathan and Lucas as well, she hoped that this was true. This must be true.

She heard Brooke coughing hard and tried to get free and with all her strength that was left, Peyton jumped on the back of this man and bit him.

The boys ran as fast as possible. Nathan was the first one who hit one man hard with the bat.

Immediately the man looked shocked at him and let go of Haley.

"You asshole.", Nathan screamed and a fight between all of them started while the girls were lying almost unconscious on the ground. Rachel spit blood and realized that one of her teeth was missing, Haley was holding her arm in pain and Peyton and Brooke were hugging each others on the ground.

Although the men were stronger than the boys, the boys managed to punch them very often and of course the bat was helping them.

"Let go of her.", Lucas screamed when one was attacking Brooke again. But this time he just threw her down the hill with a smile on his face. She screamed so loud when she felt no ground under her and the next thing she felt was darkness when her body hit the water. All of them looked in shock when Brooke fell into the water and then dwindled down and was nowhere to be seen.

"Nooooo.", Lucas jumped after her immediately while the others still fought against the men and could not help her.

They boys punched them so hard but the men were tough ones.

Suddenly they all heard a gunshot and turned around to see where it came from. All of them shivered and as soon as they saw a police officer running towards them pointing the gun at them, the men ran away.

Nathan wanted to run after them but when he saw Haley crying on the ground with blood running down her lip, he went down towards her.

"Haley, Haley. Look at me.", she looked up into his eyes and then fell into his arms and cried hard.

The same was happening with Rachel and Felix and Peyton and Jake. "Brooke.", they all heard Lucas screaming and dipping again to find her in the water.

"Help him.", Peyton whispered and Jake and the other nodded and went down to him to jump into the water and hoped that they would get her in time.

"I cannot find her.", Lucas panicked and went down again and again.

The officers meanwhile called the emergency and looked at the man with the big wound on his head. He was still breathing. Barely. When he looked at the girls he was shocked. So these men had gotten their victims again.

"It will be all right.", he said calmly and looked at their wounds.

All of them were covered in bruises and blood. But what feared him more was the girl in the water. He hoped that the men had not succeeded this time.

"I got her. I got her.", Felix screamed and laid her down on the ground.

She was not moving at all and her head fell back in Felix' arms.

"She isn't breathing.", he panicked and Nathan pushed him to the side.

"We have to reanimate her." Lucas immediately breathed into her mouth while Nathan helped him to reanimate her.

In another situation the boys would have found it sexy to see Brooke lying on the ground in just a wet and transparent shirt. But now it was just horrible and they could not care less what she was wearing.

"Don't die Brooke. C'mon.", Jake went through her hair while Felix hold her hand.

"C'mon Brookie.", Felix whispered.

Lucas breathed into her mouth again and again while crying and tasting her blood in his mouth.

"C'mon pretty girl. Open your eyes. C'mon."

Suddenly she started coughing and spitting out all the water she had inside of her from the sea. Lucas took her close to his chest and held her tight.

"It's okay. It's okay Pretty girl." Lucas whispered and went through her wet hair. She looked up at him in confusion and then looked away.

"I am not a pretty girl.", she whispered and then everything went black again and her head fell carried her to the others again and one minute later the doctors arrived and immediately took out the machines she needed.
"Wake up Brooke. C'mon.", Lucas caressed her bloody face and kissed her cheek. "Please."

He was holding her hand all the time when they drove to the hospital and tried to be strong for her but just looking at her made him almost puke.

Lucas, Felix, Jake and Nathan were sitting in the waiting room of the hospital and could not believe what had happened and prayed that their girlfriends would be all right. They had to be looked through as well but other than a few scratches they were fine.

No one could talk; they were waiting for any news, for good news but they knew that this was probably only a hope that would not come true.

All of their girlfriends were still in surgery.

A surgery that they only needed because four strangers found it fun to torture them without any mercy.
