EMMA looked around. She could smell the fresh air. Seth looked at his paper map; there was no cellular service out there. He had found a farm, but they had to walk it. He told the group that they were close, but Emma was pretty sure they were lost. It had been a week since Seth told the group about the farm. It took them a week to finally decided to go.

Emma looked back to her boyfriend, who was carrying Paige on his back. The younger girl got no sleep the night before. Emma assumed it was because they were going to the one place that was freaking her out. She was slowing everyone down, when Dean finally decided to carry her on his back so she could sleep and she wouldn't be slowing them down.

Dean looked at Emma and smiled. The blonde Aussie melted with his smile. She was happy that she wasn't together with Sami anymore. She didn't like that he cheated on her, but if he hadn't, she might have not been with Dean. She never told AJ, but a week after she and Sami broke up, Sami called her. He told her that he was sorry. He said that he wish he had the balls to talk to her rather than hurt her. He told her that he did love her, but it wasn't enough anymore. He also told her that she had great friends. He told her about AJ's visit, and about Summer's threats. He told that he hoped she would forgive him, and that he wanted to be friends.

She told him that she didn't know. He had really hurt her, and she didn't know if she could be around him after he broke her heart. He told her he understood, and that he really was sorry. They hadn't talked since, but it showed Emma what great friends she had. And she got a better boyfriend. She was shocked on how fast she was able to open her heart to someone else, but she knew that Dean was different. She knew that he was special, and that was enough for her to open her heart to him.

"Are we almost there?" Summer whined. Emma grinned. The blond New York native had taken shoes that were not meant for walking in dirt. Roman chuckled next to her.

"We can rest here," Seth said, not taking his eyes off the map. He seemed to be turning the map, not sure where north or south were. Emma watched as AJ stomped towards him and yanked the map out of his hands.

"You got us lost, dumbass," she muttered, while reading the map. Punk laughed, while walking towards Emma and sitting next to her.

"You're fiancé is crazy," Emma commented, watching Seth and AJ argue.

"I know. I love that about her," the oldest one in the group said. He had a small smile on his face.

"When do you think Paige will wake up, we are doing this for her," Summer asked, when she sat on the other side of Emma, with Roman sitting down next to his girlfriend.

"I don't know. I don't even know when was the last time she fell asleep. It's like the nightmares had been getting worse as time passes," Emma told the other three. They nodded, having noticed her sleepless nights.

"I just hope the nightmares leave after this. I don't know how much longer I can deal with this," Summer told one of her best friends.

Emma nodded, knowing what the other girl was talking about. She reached into her bag and handed Summer some shoes she had packed, knowing that the older blonde would regret using her own shoes. The taller blond smiled her thanks and changed her shoes.

"This dumbass was reading the map wrong. I don't know why you picked this farm. There were others we could have gone too. Those might have had cellular service," AJ complained, glaring at Seth.

The dual haired man glared back. "You lead us then," he told her, walking towards Dean and Paige. Dean had placed Paige on a rock and let her lean against him. Emma was shocked that Paige hadn't woken up. Seth sat down and pulled Paige towards him. Emma almost awed when she saw Paige snuggle closer to him. Dean stood up and walked towards Emma.

"Hey," he whispered, smiling down at her.

Emma looked up and squinted against the sun. It was still morning, but it was bright. She smiled at her boyfriend. He pulled up and took her spot. Once he was comfortable, he pulled her down to her lap.

"Did you have fun carrying Paige?" Emma asked, leaning her head back. Dean wrapped his arms around her waist.

"She's heavy. The things I do for you," he complained, which only made Emma laugh.

"I'll make it worth your while when we get home," she whispered, making sure that no one else heard.

"Are you sure?" Dean asked, concern in his voice. Emma smiled, she liked how he didn't jump up and celebrate. He was asking her if she was sure, he was thinking about her and not himself.

Emma nodded. "Yeah, I'm ready. I made you wait enough."

"I could wait as long as you want me to. I really like you Emma, and I want you to be one hundred percent ready."

"And that there makes me know that I am ready. You've proven that to me Dean. I know you have," she told him.

Dean smiled and kissed her, a short kiss because the angle hurt Emma's neck and they heard a scream. Everyone stood up and looked towards the origin of the scream.

Paige was on the ground, her eyes wide and tears in her eyes. She was shaking.

"I wanna go home," she told them, blinking rapidly. Emma, AJ, Summer, and Seth all rushed towards her. "I want to go home, please let me go home."

"We'll go home," Emma whispered, reaching for Paige's hand, but she moved it away. She looked scared.

"Shit," Seth whispered, his eyes full of pain. Emma reached over and placed her hand on his shoulder. "I didn't mean for this to happen, I'm sorry Paige."

She nodded and moved into his arms. He picked her up and the group started to head back to the cars. But on the way to the cars, they were stopped by a group of men. One man had a long brown beard, a vacant look on his face. The one next to him had a red beard, and was wearing an brown overall-like clothing. The one in the middle was the shortest, had a brown beard, and a flowery button shirt. Then was a man in the black trench coat and a black hat. And the last guy was wearing a red and black mask and clothing.

Dean, Roman, and Punk stood in front of the girls. Seth pulled Paige closer, who wouldn't let him go.

"We were wondering if we could pass by," Roman told them, trying to reason with him.

"Give us Baby Bevis, and we will let you by," the shortest man told the group.

Emma frowned, not sure what they meant by Baby Bevis.

"I think you're confused. We're just trying to go home," Dean told them, his body tensed.

"Not until we get who we want," the same man told them.

"They aren't going to let us go. We're gonna have to run back," AJ whispered to the group.

She counted to three, and the whole group ran back. They could hear laughter.

"Run all you want. You're all going to pay for not giving us Bevis!" the man shouted, laughing.

The group just continued to run.

Seth looked at his watch. "It's two in the afternoon. We've been out here for four hours or so. Do you guys think we lost them?"

He pulled Paige closer. Dean kept Emma close, as did Roman and Punk with Summer and AJ.

"I don't know, I hope do. This place is huge, what is the likeliness of them finding us?" AJ asked, her voice filled with hope.

Emma was freaked out. She had never seen those men in her life. She didn't know what they wanted and they scared her. She couldn't shake the feeling that they had been waiting for them. Like they knew what was going to happen. It was like they knew Paige was going to freak out, and that it was going to make them go back towards the car.

They continued walking, when they saw the farm. Seth looked down at Paige, who seemed petrified. Emma noticed then that she hadn't heard a single word from the young girl in hours. She then remembered the Brit's nightmares. She wondered if it was exactly like the nightmares. She did say that the person in her nightmares would lead her to the farm. Which was what was happening. It scared her a little.

The group walked into the farm and looked around. They walked to the back of the farm and sat around, trying to catch their breaths and take a break. They were all tired. They were all freaked. And they all wanted answers.

"Why are they hunting us?" AJ asked, as she looked around the farm. Emma did as well. She wanted to be aware of her surroundings. She wanted to know where she was, the hiding places she could find.

Emma looked at Paige and noticed that she had not sat down. She was looking around the barn. She wondered why, but chose not to question it.

"They said something about Bevis," Roman commented, while pulling Summer close to him. Dean pulled Emma close and kept his arms around her. Emma was grateful for Dean, she didn't know if she would be able to handle what was happening to them. Emma noticed that Punk had his arm around AJ. And that Seth was alone. Paige wasn't close to the group.

"Maybe they were part of a cult," Summer suggested, a tremor in her voice. She rubbed her face.

Emma almost wanted to laugh. She had seen this in many films. The Wrong Turn, maybe that was what they did. Maybe they just got the worst of luck, and they were screwed. She shook her head, getting the thought out of her head. It wasn't like a scary movie; it was real life. Those films had people die, and she didn't want that for any of her friends. She didn't want to even think of them dying.

"Those guys look familiar," Seth told the group, a frown on his face. "I feel like I've seen them around. I know I've seen them around somewhere, I just don't remember where."

AJ and Dean nodded as well.

"I've seen them too," her boyfriend muttered, probably trying to figure out where he had seen them.

"I feel like they've been watching us," AJ added. Punk pulled her closer.

Seth frowned, and looked up at Paige. Emma wondered why. She was confused with what was happening. She also felt like she had seen one of the men around as well. But she didn't remember where. But she wondered why Seth was looking at his girlfriend that way. Like she knew something. Maybe she did. Maybe she didn't know Paige was well as she thought, no, Paige was her friend. She hated the situation they were in, it made her question everything, like she had with Paige a few seconds before.

"Seth," Paige whispered, her eyes wide. Emma looked at the group. They were all looking from Seth to Paige. They didn't know what was going on. Dean suddenly stood up, as he also stared at Paige.

"I remember now," he whispered, a confused look on his face.

"What's going on?" Summer cried out. Emma, Punk, and Roman nodded as well. She was tired of feeling left out. The other four knew something they didn't, and it was annoying. She wanted to know what they were talking about, and she wanted to know soon.

"They are after you," Seth whispered, staring at Paige.

Paige stood there, in front of them, her eyes wide. She had a lot of explaining to do, and she had to do it fast.

Line: "You want pity. You want us to feel bad for you, it's not going to work," he snapped, as he took a step towards her.
