| Riley POV |
I hugged Nova tightly, as I grinned at the large gates of Camp Haven. I let go and smiled.
"We did it!" I cheered.
"Let's go!" Lyon grinned and ran for the gate with Fox following, and me, Nova, and Matt following.
"Quinn! James!" I called. They turned and their eyes widened.
"Is it really you?" Quinn breathed.
"It's them... Get Darren and the others... Their back!" James called, and Quinn ran inside.
"Their back!?" I heard Fate shriek.
"Damn that girls loud.." I mumbled.
"Yeah... Jesus..." Matt chuckled.
The gate busted open, as everyone ran out to greet us.
"Your back!" Fate hugged me, and I pilled away.
"It's fine. Not like I died. Whats up?" I glared at her.
"Shut up." She scowled.
"Whose that?" Dylan looked at Matt.
"A friend. Matt." I smiled. "Matt, this is the group."
"What did we miss?" Lyon walked back into the camp.
"Carlos went to look for you" Darren followed him, as the rest followed, except James, who remained on guard duty.
"We found Him." I spoke.
"Dead." Fox finished for me, and Nova started crying again.
"It's okay, Nova..." I grabbed his arm, and he pulled away and punched me across the face suddenly, as I stared, eyes wide.
"What the..." I breathed, as he suddenly swung again and I ducked underneath it. "I'm not fighting you, Nova!"
"Shut up!" He screamed, as he pulled out a knife and swung it at me and I barely dodged, getting nicked on the cheek.
Suddenly Nova was on the ground, with Lyon on top of him, pinning him. Lyon punched him across the face one time. Two times. Three.
Me and Darren managed to pry Lyon off the kid barely as Lyon struggled. Nova stood, anger filling his eyes where sadness was a moment ago.
"I'm fucking done with this group!" He screamed as he stormed to the front gate.
"Wait! Nova! I called after him but Fate grabbed my arm.
"Let the asshole go. He tried to kill you." She glared at Nova as he left.
"Nova..." I breathed, as he left.
"You saved his life. And how did he repay you? By trying to kill you." Lyon scoffed.
"I'm tired, I'll go rest." I walked off, with a sigh.

| Darren POV - after Riley walked off |
"What's his problem?" Fate sighed angrily, crossing her arms.
"He's pissed. This isn't the first time a friend betrayed him, tried to hurt him." Emily answered
"When will he learn not to help everyone?" Lyon sighed. "Eventually it'll bite you in the ass like that."
"I think he's learned that now, that's why he's so pissed." Violet sighed.
"Yeah. Probably." I sighed. "Quinn go help your brother on guard duty, Matt come with me, I'll show you around."
Matt nodded and followed me as I walked off.
"This group is dysfunctional as Hell..." Lyon sighed.
"With Nova gone, we're one psycho down." Fate grinned.

I closed the door shut to my room as I entered and plopped on my bed.
Nova... What a fucking child. I risked my bacon to save his and he didn't even fucking show an ounce of gratitude. Maybe I should have left him to die to his father.
If I ever see his ass again, he's dead. It's just a matter of time before he returns to hurt someone else. This time it might be Fate or Lyon. Not that I care about Fate at all. Humph!
If I catch a whiff of Nova's scent, he's dead.
God, I'm tired... I don't know what to do... If I sleep he might sneak in and kill me in my sleep.
I trust Quinn and James on guard duty... I'll take this opportunity to sleep.
My eyes shut as I fell asleep.

| Nova POV |
Fucking group... Weak people. God, why couldn't Riley have just let me die!?
I turned and saw a group of Infected chasing me, as I backed away. Damn it! I closed my eyes as suddenly gunshots rang out.
It better not be fucking Riley!
I opened them as I saw a group of people around me.
"What do you want?" I breathed.
A man in the front grinned.
"An ally." He spoke, I just stared and nodded as he handed me a gun.

I woke the next day, and got up, exiting my room groggily as Emily and Violet greeted me with a wave and a smile.
"Morning." I smiled. "Seen Darren around?"
"Yeah. He's with Fate, Lyon and Fox by the gate." Emily answered.
"Alright." I nodded and walked to them.
"Good morning." Darren grinned.
"What's our plans for the days?" I asked.
"Me and Fox are going on a hunt. You, fate, and Darren are going on a run. That okay with you?" Lyon looked at me.
"Yeah." I nodded, as we left.
What awaits us next time? What's with Nova's new "ally's"? Are they a threat? Friendly?
