The first thought that went through the ginger’s head when he woke up was that he didn’t remember going to sleep; the second was that he was on the cold hard tiled floor.  He cringed when he got up and tried to open his eyes, his right eye feeling like someone had pummeled it twice.  And actually, someone had done that to him before.  His lifted his hand to feel the wound, and shuddered as he brushed over it.  It was slightly swollen, and it also felt like there was a cut above it, the blood trickling down.  He fully got up, keeping his bad eye closed.  It felt like he has twisted his ankle as well.  He limped back to the lobby, finding Peter, Alex and Samantha there.  Peter was nervously pacing back and forth, but as soon as the raven haired teen saw him, he ran up to the other boy.  “Pepper!  Are you alright?  My god, what happened to you?”
       Pepper walked right past Peter and almost collapsed onto the bench next to Samantha.  “Whoa, Pepper, hey, w-what happened?” Samantha asked, barely avoiding being fallen on.
       Pepper simply lifted himself up, burying his face in the nearest warmth, which was currently Samantha’s shoulder.  “I don’t know…I don’t remember…” he replied in a whisper.
       Peter sighed, turning to them, but not attempting to get closer this time.  Just a few minutes later, Page walked back in.  “You found Pepper?  Is he alright?” he asked as he walked over to the group.
       Alex silently nodded while Page sat on the other side of Pepper, examining him.  “Pepper, when was the last time you saw Matthew?  Did anything happen that was strange?” he asked while gently lifted Pepper’s foot to take a better look at it.
       “No…the last thing I remember is Matthew walking away to see if he could find some more, a-ah, some more of the documents…” the redhead replied, squeaking when the blonde hit the part of his foot that was injured.
       After several swear words later while Page fixed Pepper’s foot back into place, Page looked to Pepper.  “I think what basically happened was whoever killed Daniel and Adam tried to kill Matthew and you and you…..’fended him off.  I do think however that Matthew unfortunately was killed.” Page said, and got up.
       Pepper looked down guiltily.  Had he really been able to fight them off, but not save Matthew?  Was that even considered a ‘victory’?  He got up, still limping.  “I’m going to take a walk.” he said and walked out the doors.  For the rest of the day, he just sat down on a hill, looking at the sky, and until he went to bed, without eating.  He couldn’t bear to eat while Daniel, Matthew, and Adam didn’t have the…luxury of being able to eat.  That night, as he went to sleep, there was no visitor.
Yep, next chapter, haha....
