Emma walked out of her house and got into her car. She turned the ignition, adjusted her rearview mirror, and saw Father Death standing at the end of her driveway. Emma swiftly turned to look at the murderer and they stood there, aimlessly. "I'm ending this." She put her car in reverse and stomped the gas!

The car rushed backwards and the villain jumped over the speeding vehicle, gazing at the blonde teen.

Emma shifted to drive, sped forward, and again the killer leapt into the air, but they landed on the roof of the car.

Emma quickly hit the breaks, hoping to knock them off, but to no avail. She sat there, waiting…

They stomped on her roof, signaling for her to get out.

She put the car in park and hastily opened the door and rolled out from the car, standing at the opposite end of her foe.

"Come on, then," Emma challenged.

Father Death nonchalantly stepped off the car.

The two stared each other down…

They rushed the other and Emma's throat was cut open by the killer's hand.

Emma grabbed her gushing neck and toppled down on her back.

The killer stood over her and removed their mask to reveal that they are Scott.

Scott roared at Emma and he woke up from his nightmare with a yell!

Gabriel was startled awake with a loud inhale. "Dude!"

"I'm sorry," Scott immediately apologized.

Gabriel leaned over the edge of his bed. "I don't want to sound insensitive, but when are the nightmares going to stop?" He was promptly hit in the face with Scott's pillow. "Duly noted," Gabriel said and went back to bed.

The next morning, Christopher was eating breakfast at the kitchen table with Emily.

The young man looked at Emily, not knowing what to do or say.

Emily gave him a warm smile, causing him to smile as back.

Red came into the kitchen, grabbed a bear claw from a counter, and poured himself a cup of coffee.

"Don't you want to sit down and have breakfast?" Emily apathetically asked.

Red told her he didn't have time, told Christopher bye, and left.

Emily put her plate in the sink and stormed out of the kitchen.

Christopher then genuinely asked, "Should I tell you 'bye' now?!"

Emily came back, with a small but lovely smile. "Come tell me before you leave."

Christopher nodded with a faint smile.

With Emma:

Emma sat on her living room couch, grabbing a pillow, and huffed as she hugged the pillow.

Margaret came into the room and sat next to Emma.

"What's wrong?" Margaret questioned.

Emma then told her mother what Acosta had said, not including the part about Scott.

"Well, he is right, Emma," Margaret said, harshly.

Emma squeezed her pillow.

Margaret then informed her that she can't always try to save people or hide them from murderers. "You need to let Acosta and his crew do their job." She put her hand on Emma's cheek, looking intently to her daughters eyes. "You need to protect yourself first and then help your friends, where you can."

Emma decided to meditate on her mothers words, but was uncertain what to do past that point. "Yes, ma'am." Emma smiled, hugged her mom, and went to school; but stopped before she headed out the door. "I took out my frustration on Scott." She admitted.

Margaret sincerely replied, "Then you should apologize to him."

Emma then left.

Later, at the high school, Noah came up to Christopher as he was putting his things into his locker.

"Hey, how much drawing did you get done last night?" Noah cheerfully asked.

Christopher simply put, "Not much."

Noah chuckled sarcastically. "We can't be slacking off on this more than what we've already been doing, man."

"I know, okay, just back off!"

Noah stepped back. "Okay, I-I'm sorry."

Christopher sighed heavily. "No, you're right. I'm sorry for lashing out like that, I just…got some problems right now."

"Yeah," Noah started, derisively. "I know what you mean." He glared hatefully at Steve, as the bully walked by giving Noah the middle finger.

Christopher called Steve a jackass.

"Yep."

"Have you told Audrey about that?"

"Have you told Audrey about what's going on with you?"

"Yeah, but unlike your problem, she can't put a stop to it."

Noah leaned against the lockers. "I don't want her to put a stop to me getting bullied, I want to take care of it myself and not rely on her all the time."

The bell rang.

"I know what you mean," Christopher told Noah, as he got his book. "But, your friends will always want to help." He smiled to Noah and went to class.

At lunch, Emma and the gang were sitting outside, enjoying their food; until Noah was put in a chokehold and lifted off his seat.

"I warned you, didn't I, Foster?" Steve mocked as he held Noah in the chokehold.

Audrey stood up and yelled, "Let him go!"

But before she could tackle Steve, a guy from behind her grabbed her hair, pulling her back, and she was kneed in the kidneys.

Roberts requested back up for the brawl that was ensuing.

Audrey fell to her knees and Christopher quickly punched her attacker, but was punched in the nose by another guy; putting Christopher back in his seat.

That was when Noah realized there were two girls standing behind Brooke and Emma.

Brooke and Emma stood to help, they were both pulled to the ground by their hair and received many punches.

Audrey elbowed the guy behind her in the crotch, grabbed his hair, and kneed the bridge of his nose. She was then met with a heavy punch between the eyes, putting her out of the fight.

Christopher caught her and was also put out of commission by the same punch.

Christopher fell against the table, dropping Audrey to the ground.

The two girls with Steve, pulled Brooke and Emma up and put their heads on the lunch table. Showing the damage that was done.

Brooke was bleeding from her nose with bruises on her face and a soon to be black eye.

Emma was bleeding from the side of her head and also had bruises on her face, with a bloody nose.

"This is all your fault, Faggot Foster," Steve ridiculed and his buddies laughed with him.

Noah grabbed Steve's chocking arm, his right arm, slipped his right arm in the gap between his head and Steve's arm, and pushed out of the chokehold! He grabbed a plastic fork, turned, and cut Steve's eye.

Steve fell to the ground, holding his bleeding eye, screaming.

Noah glared at the other two assailants. "Come on!"

Roberts fired his gun into the air, putting a stop to the fight.
