Hi all, thanks to jamesss, January Raines and Neon Jack for your lovely reviews. To James to your questions, Rebecca Cal and Chloe came about in the church she Multishifted and became both of them to death jump them. The Lucy who died was one of the new characters not the one from Harpers. I'm glad you enjoying it. To January Raines I'm sorry about the length between updates, I'll explain below. Here's the next chapter for ya, hope you enjoy it. To Neon Jack I'm pleased you're enjoying it and as for a TV series I doubt that would happen.

So yes, it has been a very long time since I last updated but with exams, then moving out of uni house and parents moving house and graduating etc I have struggled to find time to write. This chapter is short, but will hopefully hold you over a little while, so giving me time to complete the longer chapter. I hope you will forgive me and enjoy this chapter. I will complete this story even though it is taking a little longer then the last. So without further a do read on and enjoy and don't forget to review!

Chapter ten-When Fear Takes Hold

Jimmy ran, Trish and Andy right behind him. It was one of those blind runs where everything around you appears more a blur. The kind you don't remember the route you take. He would have continued much longer if he hadn't crashed head long into someone. The other two skidded to a halt as Jimmy scrabbled to his feet, ready to defend himself. He, however, came face to face with Richard, who was equally riled and ready to fight.

"Oh, it's you," stuttered Jimmy, between gasps. "I thought you were one of those, those things,"

"No, but you should be more careful, I could have shot you," said Richard, now dusting himself off. "Have you seen any of the others?"

"Not since we ran from the…" started Jimmy, before he was cut off by a scream.

They all looked at each other, before heading quickly in the direction of the sound. The scene they came across though, was not the one they expected. Instead of someone being mauled by a tiger or something, they found Amy Lucas on the floor, having fallen over, with JD and Kelly stood near by.

"I swear it was one of them!" she said, through gasps.

"It was just a squirrel," replied Kelly, in an exasperated voice. "Stop being such a drama queen,"

"How do you know, how can you be so sure," snapped Amy, pushing herself up off the ground.

"Because it took one look at you and ran for dear life," said JD, with a smirk

She glared at him, her look asking if he had something to say.

"What? It did!" he continued, with a shrug.

"Well, thank goodness you're alright," said Trish, trying to ease the tension. "We thought something terrible had occurred,"

"Nope just journalist girl screaming at a squirrel and falling over," said Kelly, with a sigh.

"My name is Amy!" snapped Amy, giving her a look.

"You ok, Andy?" said Kelly, ignoring Amy's protests. "You look a little pale,"

"He almost got trampled," said Jimmy, now moving towards the others.

"Almost became a kebab," muttered Andy quietly.

"A kebab?" questioned Kelly curiously.

Jimmy and Trish smiled slightly as they glanced at Andy.

"Rhino charged me, would have skewered me with his horn, hence kebab," explained Andy with a shy smile.

Kelly smiled and gave Andy a squeeze.

"I'm glad you're ok too," she said with a wink.

"So, have you seen any of the others," asked Trish, glancing round the three.

"No, not recently," said JD, his blue eyes meeting Trish's. "Everyone just ran in different directions,"

"Well, we should try to find them," said Jimmy seriously. "Which way did you come?"

"That way," said Amy, pointing south in the direction of the hotel.

"Well then we should go that way," said Jimmy, pointing North. "As that seems to be the way everyone was headed.

"Wouldn't the most sensible thing be to go that way?" suggested Richard, pointing back the way they'd just come. "The harbour is to the west which is that way, wouldn't that be most people's first port of call?"

"They aren't thinking straight though," pointed out Kelly. "We just ran in blind panic,"

"We should head a little north, but head gradually west. That way, we may be able to find some people," said Trish, now realising they shouldn't linger long. "Let's get going,"

The others agreed and they began to head north, searching in vain hope for any signs of the others. They had been walking briskly for at least 30 minutes, when a sound caught their ears. They moved both quickly and cautiously towards it, slowing as they neared. Richard, Trish and Jimmy raised their guns, ready to shoot, only to find four faces they knew. Malcolm, Beth, Nikki and Robin looking equally as nervous, although Nikki less so then the rest, having got a sawn-off shotgun, all stood staring back at them.

"Oh, it's you," said Malcolm, the nerves showing in his voice. "We thought…"

"Yeah, you're not the first," interjected JD with a nod.

"We're trying to find the others while making for the harbour," said Trish, as she made her way to Beth and hugged her tightly, she then hugged Nikki too.

"So I guess that means you haven't found anyone else?" said Robin quietly.

Trish gave her a sympathetic look, she new how the woman was feeling.

"No, only what you see," said Jimmy, giving her a sad smile. "I'm sure everyone will be fine,"

"You say that," said Richard quietly. "But without Rebecca, I'm not so sure,"

"She wouldn't want us to just give up," said JD, giving Richard a look. "An' you can't just sign her off like that; we don't know for sure she's dead,"

The other's glanced around at one another, some less sure then others.

"Well, you're right in that she'd want us to keep going," said Jimmy, trying to sound confident. "So I think we should do just that,"

Nikki nodded.

"Let's get going," she added, giving Jimmy's shoulder a squeeze, before choosing to walk near Andy so she could talk to him.

They set off once more. A breeze rustled the trees, sending the scents of damp moss, soil and pine wafting through the air. The trees creaked as they walked and branches snapped under foot, occasionally causing them to jump. They were headed in a more north-westerly direction now, with Jimmy and Richard leading while Nikki and JD brought up the rear. Everything seemed fine until Robin paused.

"What's wrong?" asked Trish, causing the rest of the group to stop.

"Something's not right, I feel like someone's watching us," she said, glancing round the trees.

It was the same feeling she'd had when she'd been on Harpers.

"I don't see anyone," said Amy, glancing round.

"It's more of a feeling," replied Robin. "I know it sounds silly, I'm probably imagining it,"

"No, I feel it too," said Andy now, tensing. "There is someone out there,"

"Maybe it's one of our friends?" suggested Beth quietly.

"If it was, why would they be skulking in the trees?" questioned JD with a roll of his eyes.

"Maybe they're unsure it's us, should we call out?" she continued, having not noticed JD's eye rolling.

"I don't think so," said Richard with a shake of his head. "It will let those things know where we are,"

"Ok, you lot stay here," he said, indicating to everyone without a gun. "We'll check it out,"

"Be careful," said Beth, as she watched Trish, Richard, Jimmy and Nikki spread out at equal distances from each other and begin to stalk up the hill.

They moved as quickly and as quietly from tree to tree as they could. As they reached each one, they checked all around, but none of them saw anything.

"Anything?" asked Amy, still glancing around.

"Seems all clear here," called Jimmy back, as quietly as he could.

"Well come on back and lets go," said JD, a bad feeling rising in him.

"Yeah ok," said Trish, starting to walk back down the hill.

"Mind the tree roots as you…" started Nikki, but she was cut off mid sentence.

CRASH!

Nikki came tumbling down the hill into sight.

"I think it's you who…" said Trish with a laugh, but it caught in her throat as she realised Nikki wasn't alone.

A puma was attempting to catch her as she rolled. Trish froze for a mere second, before raising her gun and firing. The others panicked as they spotted two other creatures and primal fear took over, causing them to run in any direction that didn't have some frightening creature there. Jimmy was running down the hill. He'd started as soon as Trish's gun had gone off, realising something was wrong. Trish was gone when Jimmy reached the spot where she had stood, but he didn't stop. He had to get to a vantage point; where he was right now he couldn't see where the creatures were. He spun around looking for anywhere, but his ears picked up the sound of a creature just about on him and his mind went blank.

He ran, the thing on his heels, and he didn't dare look back. Branches wacked him, dirt flew up and still he ran. Tripping, falling and all the time the thing was behind him, closing in. To his right, somewhere, someone else seemed to be running. He wasn't sure who it was; he doubted his panic-stricken brain would be able to work it out anyway. His legs started to burn, perspiration appeared on his brow and his breath began to get ragged, the creature quickened. Yet it wasn't his body that betrayed him, but the ground. It gave way underfoot sending him sprawling to the leafy, muddy floor. The gun flew from his hand and landed several metres away from him. A sharp pain shot up his leg from his ankle and his vision too was going hazy. He tried to move, to crawl away, but his world was spinning, yet then it seemed to focus for a moment. The person who'd been running near by had stopped only a little ahead of him. He stared, he knew this person, he was sure it was her. The dark hair, the brown eyes and pale face, it had to be Abby. She was staring at him.

"Run," he murmured, as he heard the creature approach him in a slow and calculating manner.

She didn't, she just stood there calmly watching. He squinted at her, but his vision was going. Maybe he was seeing things, but now a set of teeth came into view. He didn't have the energy to fight the coming darkness, let alone this blatant threat. Finally, he could hold on no longer and gave into the welcoming black oblivion of unconsciousness.

So there you go. I know it was short, but the next will be longer and I'll try to get it up faster. So if you fancy making my day, then hit that review button. *Puppy dog eyes*
