Scott was sitting on his bed thinking about what Daisy had said. He didn't understand what she was talking about when she said 'last time'. There was never a last time for something like this; he never had to go through this before. Then it hit him.

She was talking about when she couldn't deal with her problems and she said 'let her know that her scars are okay with you'.

Her scars are okay with me! Scott thought. He knew he was lying to himself. I wasn't letting Shelby know that he didn't hate her for leaving. Yes, he was still mad at her for leaving but he understood why she had to do it...for the most part. There were still too many things about this situation that confused him but he couldn't bother himself with those things now; he had to get Shelby back.

What am I thinking? Scott asked himself. He had a girlfriend. His mind was screaming at him that Anita is the one he should be caring about but all he could think about was how Shelby ran away from him earlier. His heart was telling him that he still loved Shelby.

Scott heard a loud crash of thunder. He stood up and looked out the window; it was pouring. The storms were something he didn't miss. Still, he owed them something; they were what got him and Shelby together in the first place.

Scott sighed and looked down.

"Where's my mommy?" Jena almost screamed.

Jena hated storms. Shelby was the only one who could ever calm her down during them and Shelby was no where to be seen.

"It's okay, Jena. Your mommy will be here soon," Kat said reassuringly and hoped that she wasn't lying to a little kid.

Kat looked around the lodge as she saw Sophie and Peter leading all of the students into the large room. Kat saw Daisy walk in and immediately felt some relief. Jena knew Daisy, maybe she could get her to relax.

"Daisy!" Kat yelled and motioned her to come over.

Daisy walked over with Jason following behind her.

"This was always one of the things I didn't miss," Daisy said to Kat.

Jason picked up a crying Jena and tried to relax her. He told her it was okay and rubbed her back. Jena was hysterical. All she kept doing was screaming for Shelby.

Daisy took Jena from Jason's arms.

"Jena, it'll be okay. The storm will pass," Daisy said trying to relax her even though she knew it was pointless.

"Where's mommy?" Jena asked again with more tears leaving her little blue eyes.

Daisy didn't say anything. She didn't know where Shelby was so she couldn't give Jena an answer.

"Shelby's the only person who can get her to calm down during a storm. Without Shelby around we're just going to have to wait until she crys herself to sleep. It should happen pretty soon," Daisy said.

"Are you sure?" Sophie asked from a few feet away.

"The only person who knows this kid better than me is Shelby. She'll be fine," Daisy responded.

Daisy held Jena to her as she continued to cry. The sobs were growing soft but they were still there.

Peter walked over to them and looked back and forth from Sophie and Kat.

"Okay, we need to get the rest of the students and then all of the old Cliffhangers in here. Katherine, I want you to get the trackers. Sophie, you get the wind dancers. And I'll get the old Cliffhangers," Peter ordered them.

Shelby was soaked. Her hair and clothes were drenched and she was freezing. Even worse: she was lost.

It's been so long since she wondered these wood mindlessly that she could no longer find her way back to the school. She didn't even really remember where she entered the wood from for she was so emotional at the time.

Shelby hugged her arms to herself and shivered. Her blue eyes glanced around and tried to look for something familiar but she found nothing.

Shelby looked up at the sky. She blinked several times form the rain was dripping in her eyes. She pointed towards the sky as if pointed her fingers to God, himself.

"Real funny!" Shelby said sarcastically above a normal tone but not yet yelling.

Peter nodded on Juliet and Auggies cabin door and Juliet opened.

"Come on. You guys know the drill," Peter said casually to the two old students.

"Yeah, yeah. We all gotta go to the lodge. Just like old times,huh Peter?" Auggie said.

"Yepp. That part of Horizon hasn't changed," Peter responded.

"And neither have these stupid storms," Juliet commented.

"The storms will never stop, Jules. Come on. I still have to get Scott and Shelby,"

Juliet grabbed her coat. They walked out of the door and Juliet let a small scream out for the rain was cold.

They walked into the lodge and Juliet and Auggie walked over by their old classmates.

Sophie and Kat walked in with the students and took off their wet coats. They walked over to Peter.

"I still have to go get Scott and Shelby," Peter said.

"Shelby's not in her room," Jason said.

"What?"

"She's not there. Me and Daisy walked past on our way here and she wasn't there,"

"Okay. I guess I just have to go get Scott then,"

Peter left again and was back in the rain. He ran over to Scott's cabin and knocked on the door. Scott opened it with his coat already on.

"I was wondering when you were gonna come and get us all," Scott teased.

"Very funny. Let's go," Peter said.

The two men turned and ran back to the lodge. They both wanted to get out of the cold rain and quickly as possible. They heard more crashes of thunder and saw a few bolts of lightening right before they walked into the lodge.

Shelby walked around in the woods, shivering. She rubbed her hands together to try and make friction so she could warm herself but it didn't help.

Shelby wondered how Jena was for she knew she got bad during storms. Oh. I hope she's all right, Shelby thought to herself and continued to try and find her way out of the woods with no success.

Scott walked over by the fire and started to warm his hands. He moved and sat down on one of the chairs, putting his head in his hands.

"So that's everyone but Shelby?" Peter asked allowed.

Scott shot his head up and stood.

"What are you talking about, 'everyone but Shelby'? Where's Shelby?" Scott asked worried.

"We don't know. She's not in her cabin and Sophie looked the grounds for her but didn't find her," Kat responded.

"What? So she's lost?" Scott asked, getting upset.

"Scott, don't jump to conclusions," Sophie said.

"Scott's right. She probably ran off after their argument earlier," Juliet said.

Scott closed his eyes and thought for a few seconds. Shelby did run off after their fight earlier, maybe she did get lost. But where did she run to? Scott questioned himself with frustration.

"Are you sure you checked all of the grounds?" Scott asked Sophie.

"Well I didn't go into the woods but other than that yeah," Sophie responded.

"Okay. That settles it," Scott said without explaining.

He grabbed his coat and put it on.

"Where do you think you're going?" Daisy asked.

"I'm going to find Shelby. It's my fault she ran in the first place," Scott responded and turned for the door.

Peter grabbed his arm.

"You know I can't allow you to do that, Scott," Peter said.

"I'm not a student anymore, Peter!" Scott retorted.

"There's not even a sure chance you'll be able to find her,"

"I found her before and I'll find her again!"

Scott swung open the door and ran out of it, heading for the woods.

"Scott!" Peter screamed and started to head after him but Sophie grabbed his arm and stopped him.

"No, Peter. Let him try and find her," Sophie said.

"What he can't?"

"Just trust him. Let him try,"

Peter looked down, sighed and nodded.

Shelby walked around in the woods, shivering still. She hoped someone would find her. But who would think to look for me here? Shelby asked herself and felt oddly like Alice from "Alice in Wonderland".

All Alice wanted to do was get away from her life and when she finally did, all she wanted was to get back to it. That's how Shelby felt right now. She wanted to run away from her world and now all she wanted was for someone to find her and take her home.

Shelby continued to walk around, still trying to find her way out, and tripped over a stick. She fell over made a slight grunting sound while doing it. She moved herself off of her belly and sat on the wet ground. She crossed her arms over her chest and sighed in frustration.

"Could this get any worse?" Shelby asked.

Scott ran into the woods and took a flashlight out. He turned it on for it was getting dark now and he started to look around.

"Shelby!" He screamed for her but there was no answer.

Scott continued to walk through the woods, looking for her but couldn't find her. He turned the flashlight in every way, searching every place in sight with no success.

Scott was pushing branches out of the way and running as fast as he could deeper into the dark woods. He jumped over sticks, rocks and anything else that was in his way. Nothing was going to stop him from finding Shelby.

"Shelby, where are you!" Scott screamed with still no answer.

Shelby continued to walk around and was still hugging herself.

"Okay. It's dark, I'm cold, I'm wet, I'm dirty and I'm lost. Wonderful job, Shelby," Shelby said out loud to herself. She paused and thought for a moment before continuing, "And I'm talking to myself. Why don't I just add insane to my list, too!"

Shelby looked down and shook her head. She stopped for a moment and stood there, once again looking for something familiar but she had no luck.

Her head shot up as she heard her name being called and recognized the voice who was calling her; it was Scott.

"Scott!" Shelby screamed for him.

She was trying to find him but she had no light so she couldn't see well.

"Shelby!" Scott screamed and Shelby heard it.

"Scott!" Shelby screamed back.

Shelby finally saw his flashlight and a sense of relief came over her. He was looking around and still couldn't find exactly where she was but she saw him now so it was easier.

"Scott, I'm over here," Shelby yelled and ran towards him.

Scott turned and saw her running to him. He ran to her.

"Oh, Shelby!" He said relieved.

Scott pulled Shelby into his arms and kissed her forehead. He squeezed her so tightly and never wanted to let go. She returned the hug and wrapped her arms around his waist.

Without another word being spoken, Scott and Shelby turned to go back to the lodge. Scott still had his arm around Shelby's shoulder and she still had hers around his waist. They walked together out of the woods and Shelby never felt so happy to be looking at the buildings of Horizon.

The pair walked into the lodge and everyone crowded around them. Sophie pulled Shelby over by the fire and told her to warm herself.

Peter eyed Scott as he was taking off his wet coat.

"I underestimated you, Scott," He said.

"I told you I'd find her," Scott said.

Scott walked over to the fire, next to Shelby and they both sat there trying to warm themselves. The fire was helping but it wasn't enough. Shelby was still shivering despite the blanket that was now around her.

"Okay here is what's going to happen," Peter said. "Everyone's gonna stay in here for tonight. It's gonna be tight though so I need the trackers over here," He pointed to a corner. "The sun dogs over there," He pointed to another spot in the lodge. "The wind dancers over by the fire. The ridge runners over here," He motioned to another spot. " And the Cliffhangers by the back door. Let's go."

"Which Cliffhangers?" A young girl asked.

"What do you mean?" A guy asked her.

They were both Cliffhanger students.

"Well, aren't they Cliffhangers, too?" The girl asked pointing over to the old Cliffhanger group.

"Yes, they're Cliffhangers but they're not students. You guys are the ones by the back door," Peter said.

"Some things never change," Ezra said referring to how the Cliffhangers are always put by the back door.

Peter smiled to Ezra and then walked over to Scott and Shelby. It was silent over by the two.

"Okay you two, especially you Shelby, need to shower. Now I want you two go back to you're cabins and then come back here. Okay?" Peter asked.

Scott nodded.

"Okay," Shelby said. "Wait. Where's Jena?"

"She's asleep. She cried herself to sleep in my arms. She's in the play pen," Jason said from behind her.

Shelby nodded.

"Okay. If she wakes up tell her that I'll be back with Alice," Shelby said.

Jason nodded.

"All right. Come on you two. I'm walking you guys to your cabins," Sophie said.

"Ya know, we are big kids now," Shelby teased.

"Come on," Sophie said again with a smirk.

Scott grabbed his coat and offered it to Shelby but she wouldn't take it. He didn't like wearing his coat when she didn't have one so he didn't put his on. They walked out of the lodge and ran to their cabins.
