Chapter 7
Lily was in the kitchen preparing dinner for everyone. The boys were all in the living room trying to figure out a way to escape the cabin, while all the girls were split into two different rooms, based off of who could stand Relena and who couldn't. Lily shook her head and continued cooking. She was chopping some potatoes when she saw a dark figure creep across the walls. Carefully setting down her knife she backed away from the counter and made her way towards the door.
"Duo!" she called out, and immediately all five guys were in the kitchen.
"Lily, what's wrong?" Duo asked upon arrival. He made his way to his girlfriend and looked around, while placing an arm around her.
"I… um… there was a shadow." Lily pointed to the wall where the shadow had been. "It was moving… I…"
Heero nodded and made his way over to the wall. "Well it's gone now." He looked over to Lily and Duo. "One of us will stay in here with you while you finish dinner, okay?"
Lily nodded as Duo released her. Wufei looked over. "I'll stay." Lily smiled when she'd heard that. It was the perfect opportunity to spend some time with Wufei. She knew Duo was jealous of the guy and so she didn't spend as much time with Wufei since they'd arrived.
Duo eyed the Chinese man for a moment but eventually he just shook his head and headed out with other boys. Lily went back to cutting the potatoes and dropped them into the pot. She placed a top over the pot and went to sit on a stool over by Wufei.
"Ne, Wu-kun!" she sang out to him. The boy rose an eyebrow at her. He then rolled his eyes and crossed his arms, leaning back against the counter.
"What?"
Lily only shrugged and placed her elbows against the counter, resting her chin against her hands. She stared towards the stove, watching as the food cooked. "Ne… do you think we'll get out of here?"
Wufei blinked as he looked over at his friend. Her eyes were blank as she focused on the food. He wasn't sure what to say to her. Sighing, he reached out and took one of Lily's hands, holding it softly. "I'm sure we will. Whatever this thing is… we can't let it get to us."
Lily smiled at the boy and nodded. "Hai."

Jen sighed as she sat on a bed, staring out a window towards the lake. She didn't know what this thing was. It could attack anywhere, anyhow and at any time. How were they supposed to fight against it? But what bothered Jen even more was how familiar all of this felt. She wanted to shake the feeling away, but couldn't seem to. This cabin, the creature, ghost, whatever it was. It all seemed so familiar, but why? She shook her head and turned her gaze in the direction of Micki. Apparently the girl had been calling for her.
"Hm?" Jen answered to Micki's call.
"Jen… I'm sure we'll find a way out of this," Micki explained. "The other are working on a plan right now."
Jen only shrugged. "They can talk all they want, but how do they know it will even work? I mean… what is there for us to do? Some thing is trying to kill us all. It won't let us leave. We don't even know what it is!"
"Stop it!" Sakura practically shouted. Jen blinked as she looked over at the girl. Cleary she was frightened.
Jen sighed and stood from her spot on the bed. She made her way over to Sakura and sat down next to her, hugging her. "I'm sorry."
Sakura just shook her head and sighed. "We'll get out of here… won't we?"
It took a while for the blue haired girl to respond. She wasn't sure exactly what to say so she responded with, "I don't know."

"I hate this place!" Relena whined. "It's all Lily's fault! She's the one who picked this place. She's the one who decided that we should all go on a trip together."
"Relena, you can't blame all this on Lily!" Hilde told her. "She didn't know."
"And she didn't even invite you," Dorothy added. "You invited yourself. Lily was just too nice to tell you that she didn't want you to come."
Relena glared at both girls, her anger apparent. "You're both supposed to be my friends! Why are you sticking up for her?"
"She's my friend as well!" Hilde explained. "And she doesn't deserve to be blamed for all this."
"Right," Dorothy cut in. "It's not like she decided, 'Hey, let's all go take a trip to some haunted cabin so all my friends can blame me and say it's all my fault.' I mean, come on Relena." Dorothy rolled her eyes at the girl. "Could you be anymore childish?"
Relena pouted as she crossed her arms and huffed. She turned away from both girls, deciding she didn't want to speak to them anymore.

"So what are we going to do?" Quatre asked.
"What can we do?" Duo quickly responded. "I mean… some 'thing' is attacking us and we don't even know what 'it' is." He watched as Quatre sighed and nodded.
"There has to be something we can do," Heero said.
Trowa, who was sitting in a corner only nodded, agreeing with the Japanese man. "If it can attack us then there has to be a way for us to fight back."
"Well if someone could figure out how, that would be great!" Duo put in.
"I think we need to figure out what it is first," Quatre explained, and watched the expression on the other boys' faces.
"And how do we do that?" Duo asked.
"Hm…" Quatre sighed. "That is a problem."
Heero shook his head. "For now, until we figure something out, everyone is to stay in pairs, preferably groups. We sleep in our assigned rooms, and no leaving those rooms unless someone goes with them."
"What about Wufei?" Quatre asked. "He's got a room to himself."
"Duo can share with him, and Hilde or Dorothy can share with Lily."
Duo pouted. "But then I can't be with Lily."
Heero rolled his eyes at the boy. "Any better ideas?"
Quatre sighed. "He has a point Heero. While he can't be with Lily, you can still be with Sakura."
"I'll be fine on my own," Wufei explained as he walked out from the kitchen, Lily right beside him. The girl stared up at the boy and sighed.
"No, Duo, you stay with Wufei. It's okay." She smiled. "Me and Hilde can share a room."
"Lily, are you sure?" Duo asked.
The violet eyed girl nodded and smiled. "Hai. Daijoubu Hun, it'll be alright. I just don't want Wufei alone. It's not safe." After looking around at everyone and seeing that they all agreed, she then added, "Oh, by the way… Dinner's ready." This of course caught the attention of all the boys, and Lily couldn't help but giggle as they all made their way into the kitchen. She then went on her way upstairs to go tell the girls.
