It was certainly strange being back on Blackwood Mountain thought Ashley. As the group began their trek to the cabin, Ashley was constantly watching her back, expecting something terrible to grab her. At least she had Chris with her.

"You okay Ash" he asked.

"Yeah. It's just I never thought I would have to come back here Chris." said Ashley.

"I know how you feel. At least the ride here was smooth"

He looked at Ashley before hugging her.

"I'm not going to let anything happen to you Ashley. You are going to be fine." He said comforting Ashley

Chris pulled out his gun

"And with this thing, no one is gonna mess with me" he said waving the shotgun around.

Riley turned to Chris

"Watch you don't blow off someone's head waving that thing around" she said

Chris blushed and quietly put the gun down.

The group carried on walking before they eventually reached the cabin. Riley looked on the floor.

"Tire tracks. They've been here." She said.

Riley looked around, scanning for potential threats.

"Is everything ok?" asked Sam who was shaking from the cold.

Riley hesitated for a minute before finally speaking.

"Yes, we might as well go in now. See what we can find."

Riley opened the door and entered with the others following close behind. Riley closed the door and glanced out of the window.

"So what exactly are we looking for?" asked Emily.

"Somewhere where they could hide the detritus" said Riley who examining the fireplace.

Ashley started wondering around the cabin and walked into the Bathroom. It was rather clean and looked like it had been used recently.

Ashley heard a noise and turned around. Emily was standing in the doorway.

"What do you want?" asked Ashley trying to sound all tough.

"I… I just want to say I'm sorry for being such a bitch to you Ash." Emily said.

Emily took a deep breath and looked at Ashley.

"I don't like being so horrible Ash. Believe it or not, but I'm not as confident as I look. I'm not the prettiest girl, I'm not the smartest. So I act like a bitch to make it seem like I am a confident person."

As much as Ashley didn't like Emily, she felt pity for the girl.

"And with this shit with Matt, I never got the chance to apologise to him. I was too busy acting like a bitch. I don't want to lose any more friends."

"Emily…" Ashley said trying to come up with something comforting to say.

"I'm sorry ok, for being so horrible to you Ashley" said Emily before she hugged her.

Ashley patted Emily on the back.

"I just want all this to be over" said Emily.

"Same here Em" replied Ashley.

Emily left the hug and rubbed her nose.

"I… better help Mike" she said before leaving.

Ashley didn't know what to say. Poor Emily she thought. She had no idea what that girl was going through. Ashley sighed, her mind racing. She put her back on to the wall. As Ashley thought about what Emily was going through, the wall suddenly started rumbling.

Ashley screamed before gathering herself. Riley ran coming in with Mike.

"What did you do?" shouted Riley, trying to be heard over the rumbling.

"I just rested on the wall" explained Ashley.

The wall was suddenly splitting in half. The wall opened up revealing a lit hallway. The hallway was clean and sterile with a brown door at the end of the corridor.

"Where do think it goes?" asked Mike.

Riley looked down the corridor before turning to Mike

"Get the others! Now!" she shouted.

Mike ran out as Ashley looked at Riley

"Are we going down there?

Sam, Chris and Emily arrived with Mike

"Whoa, what happened?" asked Sam

"You're friend just found a secret passage" said Riley

Ashley smiled. She hadn't expected to contribute this much already. Riley passed a pistol to Ashley. She turned to the others.

"Weapons out, Guys" she said before leading the group down the corridor.

The corridor was rather long and Ashely was constantly watching her back to make sure nothing was running down the corridor after them.

Riley approached the brown door and put her ear to it listening in. Suddenly her eyes widened in fear and she turned to the others.

"We need to leave right now!" she screamed, pale as a ghost

Ashley turned and suddenly saw that the wall had closed trapping the group.

"Shit, we're trapped" cried Ashley.

Suddenly several men dressed in black appeared from the brown door clutching Machine guns.

One of the men stepped out and turned to the others.

"Remember, the initiates must be kept alive" he said menacingly.

He turned to Riley and shot her in the head.

Ashley screamed

"Riley! Oh god no!" she screamed as the men pointed their guns at her.

Chris pulled out his shotgun and shot one of the men. The man fell to the floor before casually getting up. The man then grabbed Chris and punched him unconscious. Sam and Mike talked the man to the floor before two armed men grabbed Sam and Mike and dragged them off. Ashley ran.

She was crying. She didn't want to die. Not now. Not here. A man tackled her to the ground and began pulling her way.

"No! Please stop!" she cried, trying to get away in vain.

The man who tackled Ashley grabbed her hair and smashed her head to the ground. Ashley's vison blurred. The lights seemed to go out and the dark engulfed her.
