Chapter 2: Too late

Elizabeth ran, not paying attention to where she was going. She was worried about Lucky. About what Tom Baker could do to him. All she could think about was getting help. She stopped suddenly when she felt someone grab her by the shoulders. She screamed and began to claw at the man’s face, before she even looked up. When she did, she found herself staring at the confused face of Luke Spencer.

"Elizabeth, hold up a minute, I’m not going to hurt you" he said, trying to calm her down. "You were running like a bat out of hell and ran right into me". When she didn’t say anything, he looked at her face and saw the look of complete terror in her eyes.

"Liz, it’s Luke, Lucky’s dad, what is it? What’s wrong?"

At the mention of Lucky’s name, Elizabeth snapped out of it.

"Lucky" she yelled and grabbed Luke’s arms.

"That’s right, I’m Lucky’s dad, remember?" Luke asked still trying to figure out what was wrong with her.

"You have to help him" she yelled. "He’s going to hurt him".

"What?" Luke asked. "Who’s going to hurt Lucky, Elizabeth?" Luke asked a bit more concerned.

"Tom" Elizabeth said in a whisper.

"Tom?" Luke asked, "the guy who raped you?"

"Please, help him!"

Luke realized that this was serious and all he said was "take me".

Elizabeth ran back towards the park, Luke close at her heels. She was glad she had found Luke. She knew he would help Lucky.

Luke didn’t know what was going on, or where they were going. All he knew was that his son was in trouble, and that he needed to help him. Luke was shocked to see that they were in the park, close to the fountain. He saw as Elizabeth run to one of the park benches and frantically look around.

"NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!" she screamed and dropped to the ground.

Luke caught her before she actually reached it.

"Liz what’s wrong? Where’s Lucky?" Luke asked, not sure if he wanted to know the answer.
