that you don't see in the series.
Summary: Its after the Morp (Kat's graduated) and Scott and Shelby are finally reunited again. But some of their time together wont be a happy Horizon time. No, some evil people from Scott and Shelby's past have returned with a plan!
"Your Beautiful!" Scott Barringer said.
"Scott! I'm covered in mud!" Shelby Merrick exclaimed turning her head hoping to hide her red face. But no avail. Scott placed his dirty hand under Shelby's chin and lifted it up so she was staring straight at him. Shelby laughed.
"You can be so..... so romantic, sometimes." Shelby whispered also laughing at her choice of words. They started to kiss when Scott reluctantly pulled away.
"I know!" Scott replyed with a smirk on his face. "We better head back before" But before Scott could finish someone finished his sentence for him.
"... Before you get caught by me?" Shelby jumped and turned around.
"Peter! Gosh you scared us..... How long have you been there?" Shelby asked suspiciously. He laughed.
"Long enough to know that I'm being nice, by not putting you both on kitchens for a week." He said with a smile. Scott turned to Shelby and they both gave each other a look that said 'BUSTED' They turned around and slinked off back to their campsite.

"All right, Cliffhangers... guess what?..... Group Time!!" Sophie said in a happy tone. The cliffhangers groaned. They all hated group... I mean who really likes sharing their feelings with fellow dysfunctional teens?
"Great! What do you have in store for us, Master?" Shelby said in her usually sarcastic tone.
"Well were gonna do an old one. I feel.... Ezra your first."
"I feel... in love... Daisy?"
"I feel.... grossed out." She said looking at Ezra who was looking at her with his puppy dog eyes. "David?"
"I feel like I need to shove my boot up Ezra's--"
"DAVID! Now say something else" Peter warned.
"All right! Uhh.... I feel..... tired... Juliette?"
"I feel tired and dirty" Auggie put his hand on hers. She smiled "Auggie?"
"I feel... that I need to cheer Jules up a little... Shelby"
"Ha... I feel sorta embarrassed" She said looking at Peter with a red face.... Scott?"
"Ditto" he said with a smile on.
"Now we will go around telling why we feel that way" Peter told them.
"Well I feel in love because, I like some one... They are playing hard to get though.. Daisy"
"I'm feeling grossed out cause someone won't take what I say as my final answer. Friends, Ezra" Ezra looked hurt but said that he still wouldn't take that as her answer and that she would come around.
"Well... I feel that I need to shove my boot up Ezra's" He paused and looked at Peter who was glaring at him coldly "... heh heh I uh.. mean I feel tired cause we've been on this quest for 3 days nonstop....Juliette?"
"I feel tired and dirty 'cause for the past 3 days the closest I've come to a bath is falling in that river over there" She said pointing to the river with a sad look on her face. "Augg?"
"Well I guess Jules explained why I need to comfort her and make her feel better."
"Thanks, Auggie!" Juliette beamed looking happy now...
"Well... heh I feel embarrassed cause I got caught... need I say more?" All the Cliffhangers looked at her and then Scott and nodded their heads... most with smirks on their faces.
"Uh... yeah" Scott said in agreement. They all laughed.
"Ok, Cliffhangers, that's all for tonight. I want you all to get some rest, cause tomorrow we will hike 14 miles with very little breaks." They all groaned. "Oh and I forgot to say that for tonights obstacle we will have no tents... Juliette dropped them in the river when she fell in. "
"No I didn't! There right there!" Juliette said absentmindedly when she heard her name. She had been looking at Auggie and not paying attention.
"Woah.. down Queenie. You know, obstacle... make believe? One of Peter's games to get us all to suffer?" Shelby said biting her lower lip trying not to laugh.
"No, its to get you to work in groups and that when one person makes a mistake---"
"The rest of the group suffers... we know, Peter." Scott said finishing Peters sentence "You've only told us about a million times"
"All right guys, just get out your sleeping bags and find a place to sleep."
"But, I think Juliette dropped my sleeping bag in the river too!" David said sarcastically.
"Yo, lay off, Meat!" Auggie said.
"GUYS!! GO TO BED!" Peter said one last time "If you don't you will all be on shuns for a month!"
"Ouch!" Scott said under his breath as him and Shelby found a flat place to sleep by the edge of the clearing.

Scott woke up sweaty and hot. He looked at his watch. "5:10" He said.
"What? Scott?" Shelby asked.
"Couldn't sleep, huh?"
"Nope... Nightmares... you look like you had a rough night too. I think I heard you whimper a little." Shelby said.
"Well, I guess we both need to get a little air." They both walked off to the same place where Peter caught them earlier. Scott looked at Shelby and Shelby looked at Scott. Before they knew it they were both kissing. Shelby pulled away.
"We should head back." She said
"Yeah, Peter gets up at 6:00." He checked his watch. "Its 6:50"
" Scott uh.... Where are both your hands..." Scott held his hands up. He was confused. "But... then what is this on my shoulder?" Scott suddenly had a horrified look on his face. "What.. What is I--"
The world went black for Shelby. Scott soon followed.
b*****/b
Peter woke up about 6:00 and looked around. Juliette, Auggie, David, Ezra, and Daisy were all sleeping in their sleeping bags.
"Where's Scott and Shelby?" Peter asked Sophie.
"I dont know... maybe they took a walk...You don't think they ran, do you?" Sophie asked
"No... they wouldn't do that, cause if they did they would both be sent home and neither would hate anything more." Peter said bending down feeling Scott's sleeping bag "It's still warm! Which means they couldn't have been gone long. I'm gonna go look for them while you take the rest of the group back down the mountain. I don't want any more of my students to go missing."
"Don't worry, Peter. I bet you will find them soon enough to be able to catch back up with us. In about an hour if your not back still we will sit down and wait for another hour... to see if you catch up.. okay?"
"Yeah, fine" Peter yelled over his shoulder as he jogged off into the woods. "See ya later, honey!"
"Yeah, see you too, mountain man" Sophie replyed after Peter was out of earshot.
b*****/b
Scott woke up, and after he rememberd what had happened he jerked his head up.
"Shelby?" he whispered.... "Shelby!" No answer. All of a sudden Shelby walked back into the cave with.... "No it can't be her..."
"Yeah, Scotty it's me. You aren't saying you don't remember me are you? Oh and this is, Walt... you know him too I suppose?"
"Yeah I know, the bastard and the skank" Scott replyed.
"Scott, don't" Shelby said, trying to fight back tears.
"What did they do to you.. did he-" He didn't have to ask anymore. He knew exactly what had happened and if he didn't find a way out he would end up having the same fate. He put his hand on Shelby's arm. She winced but tryed not to show Scott. He saw anyway and started to pull up her sleave. She pulled her had away. She was obviously embarrassed.
"You, son of a mother" Scott screamed jumping up but Walt pushed him back down. Scott started to get back up when Walt, rougly picked up Shelby. She closed her eyes and tears coursed down her cheeks. Walt put a gun to Shelby's head.
"Oh... Scotty, I don't think you want to do that. Walt, here, has had a rough time. You know escaping prison and all... Oh, by the way did I ever thank you for saving my butt with those letters you sent to me?" Scott turned around and sat back down, knowing that there was nothing he could do to save Shelby. "Well, anyways, Walt is mad at Shelby and thinks she deserves to be punished. After all, she did call the cops on him while he was sick... I mean he just had a heart attack for Christ's sakes!"
"Yeah, son. So I wouldn't talk if I were you. You never know, what you say may not affect you but it may hurt, Kitten here." Scott had, had enough. He jumped up only to be kicked in the stomach by Walt. Walt then put his hand on Shelby's leg.
"You, son of mother--" Scott started but noticed that each time he said a word, Walt would move his hand farther up her legs. Scott stopped because he saw the pain in Shelby's eyes. He couldn't let this happen to her anymore. He had to think of a plan!
"Good, boy!" Elaine exclaimed. Walt shoved Shelby back on the ground on the right side of Scott and started toward the door.
"I'm going out! I'll be back soon. Do what you want with the boy.. but don't you touch my kitten." Shelby winced at the name. Scott knew that she hated being called that. Elaine sat down on the left side of Scott and started running her hands through his hair. He just turned to look at Shelby.
He whispered into her ear. "I will try my best to get us out of here. Peter will find us when he realises were missing. I'll bet he's already looking for us. Just know that I know what your feeling."
"No you dont Scott. You have no idea what I am feeling. You couldn't." Shelby said back to Scott. Sure he had gone through the same thing but it was different with Shelby. She didn't do some of the things Walt did. Some of the things she never told about... the realy bad things.

Well that is the end..... OF THIS CHAPTER! Dont worry I will write more. I hope I get lots of reviews though!
