~Disclaimer: I own none of them, I'm just playing with them, and I'll be returning them when I get through. I also stake no claim to the episode Exposed that I used for the Flashbacks. They belong to the writers and FFC.~

This is the FIRST installment as the sequel to my last fic "To Thine Own Self Be True Series. The Cliffhangers heading up to the cabin

"Shelby!"

Shelby's mind was racing. She could hear Walt's footsteps on the stairs. He was coming up to get her. She knew what he was going to do to er when he found her.

"Shelby!"

She dropped the razor into the trash, and covered it up with some toilet paper. The bandage slid over her ankle and secured it into its place. Then she slid her sock up to cover the mark. If he saw what she did....she didn't even want to think about it.

"Shelby!"

The doorknob turned and light cascaded in from the hallway. Shelby could no longer hold back her screams.


The Cliffhangers sat in the lodge waiting for Scott to come back with Shelby. They had been packed and ready to leave for at least twenty minutes, but still no sign of the missing two. Auggie and Juliet were positioned on the couch. Juliet had fallen asleep on him a few minutes ago. Daisy sat on the floor, writing the a journal that looked almost identical to Shelby's. Ezra sat beside her, his hands holding the book of Shakespear's sonnets. David was going through his pack on the other side of the room, showing Jessica what kinds of things he was allowed to pack and get away with.

Daisy closed her journal and shoved it into her pack. She made sure that Shelby's was securely next to hers. Rising to her feet she remembered what Shelby had told her the night before. 'I just don't know what gonna happen to me. Daze, I'm so scared.' Shelby's words rang through her head. 'She doesn't know what's going to happen to her where?' Daisy asked herself cautioiusly. Jumping off of the floor, Daisy raced out of the lodge and to the Infermary, ignoring the shouts of everyone behind her.
