"Why are they hunting us?" AJ asked. Saraya had her back to the group. She looked down at her hands and noticed that they were trembling. She took a deep breath and continued to look around the barn.

She was walking around, making sure they were safe. She had heard the question, and chose not to answer. She didn't want to answer it.

"They said something about Bevis," Roman commented, while pulling Summer close to him. Saraya turned around and saw Dean hugging Emma, and Phillip kept his arm around AJ. Seth looked like he wanted to grab Saraya, but she couldn't get close to him. She couldn't, she felt sick while she thought about what had just happened.

"Maybe they were part of a cult," Summer suggested. Saraya could hear the fear in her voice. It broke her heart, knowing that her friends' fears were her fault.

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

"I've seen them too," she heard Dean muttered. Saraya knew where he had seen Bray Wyatt. She just hoped he didn't remember.

"I feel like they've been watching us," AJ added. Saraya didn't know what to think anymore.

Saraya turned around and looked at her boyfriend, a frown on her face. She tried to remember what he was thinking, and then remembered the club. Seth must have remembered as well, because he frowned at her.

"Seth," Saraya whispered, her eyes wide. She saw anger in his eyes, anger and pain. She wanted to go to him, she wanted him to hug her and tell her it was going to be okay.

Dean stood up and stared at her. Saraya knew then, that he remembered. He remembered when Bray had pushed her down. He might have not seen him, but he knew there was something familiar. Both him and Seth found out the truth.

"I remember now," he whispered. She didn't like the look on his face. He was staring at her like he didn't know what was going on.

"What's going on?" Summer cried out. Emma, Punk, and Roman nodded as well. Saraya knew it was going to come out. They were all going to find out the truth.

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

The raven-hair woman looked away. Her eyes closed, she nodded. "Ever since they found out where I was."

They all turned to the Brit. Saraya sighed and looked away.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Summer whispered, pain in her voice. "They've been after us for weeks, and not once did you tell us anything. Our lives were in danger every second they were in it, but you didn't warn us, why?"

"I couldn't," the young woman told them, tears in her eyes.

"Why not? You always told us you didn't know," Dean asked, glaring at her. Saraya had seen Dean as an older brother, so seeing that glare shot at her hurt her.

"Paige, why did you lie to us?" Emma asked, her accent stronger than ever. "Why didn't you tell us people were after you?"

"I lied okay. I know I did. And I'm sorry. I just couldn't—I had to protect myself," Saraya told them, her eyes shining with tears.

"Two years! You lied to us for two years!" AJ snapped as she glared at the Brit. Saraya knew that AJ, as well as the other girls were hurt. But they had to understand it from her side. They had to know how hard her life was.

"I didn't want to lie. I just couldn't tell you," Saraya told the seven, in a quiet voice.

"And look at where that got us," Dean muttered. Saraya heard him, but didn't say anything about that.

"Did you lie about your family?" Summer asked, the hurt visible on her face. "Are they really dead?"

Saraya sighed, as she thought about what she said. "My family did die, but I lied when I told you I wasn't there." She took a deep breath. "I was there. They couldn't see me, but I saw everything. I saw every drop of blood. I heard every scream. I watched as each one of them killed a member in my family. I watched as my brother's life leave his eyes. I heard my sister scream while she burnt to death. I watched as they cracked my brother's neck. My parents die, and I couldn't do anything."

Seth looked away. The girls frowned. Roman and Phillip looked indifferent. And Dean, he was furious.

"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.

"I don't want your pity. I don't want you to feel bad for me. I just wanted you guys to know the truth."

Dean was staring at her. "It's kind of too late. But amuse us. Tell us why you lied?"

Saraya frowned. She stared at the ground. She took a step back. After looking around, she turned to the group of people. "I didn't even know who I am."

"What do you mean?" Emma asked, her voice calm. Sure, all of them were hurt, but each reacted different. AJ and Dean were angry. Seth, Emma, and Summer were heartbroken. Roman and Phillip were the only seemed to be even headed. They were angry. They were hurt. But they were willing to listen to her side, or so she felt.

"My parents kept me hidden. That's why people who are after me didn't know about me. That's why they didn't find me. They didn't know I existed. The day they died," her voice cracked, "The day they died, it was the first day I went outside. It was the first day I got to interact with people. These last four years, I've been trying to find myself. I—I don't even know why my family was killed. No one ever told me why my life was in danger."

"You still lied," Seth said, after being quiet. Everyone turned to him, waiting for him to continue. "You lied to all of us. You could have told someone the truth. You lived with Summer, Emma, and AJ for two years, two fucking years. You lied for those two years. And what about us? Did you ever think we were going to safe with you around us? We're being hunted by being around you. Maybe you should have stayed out of our lives."

Saraya could hear the pain in his voice. She looked down, to the ground. She understood he was hurt. She understood he was angry. And she understood he was right, and it made it hurt much more.

Saraya nodded. "I'm sorry. I never meant for any of this to happen. I just thought it was over. My family was gone, the Authority thought they won, and I was safe. I thought I was safe if I left my country, my home, changed my name, and started a new life. I'm sorry for trying to be happy."

"What was your name?" Roman questioned, as he watched her.

"Saraya," Seth whispered, looking at her. Saraya looked at him, her eyes wide. She didn't think he remembered.

She nodded. "Saraya-Jade Bevis."

"Saraya," Emma whispered, as she looked at the Brit with tears in her eyes.

The raven-haired nodded. "I haven't heard anyone call me that in years. I miss it," She whispered to herself. No one had heard it, or if they did, they chose to not say anything about it. She looked at them. "They'll leave you alone. If you cut any ties with me, the Authority will stop following you. So leave."

Phillip, who was silent the whole time, took a step towards her. "You hurt us by not trusting us. But you are still our friend. And we protect our friends."

Saraya looked at Phillip in surprise. She was not expecting that answer. But she shook her head. "No. This is my war. And I'm the one they want. Seth was right; I should have stayed out of your lives. I shouldn't have done what I did. And I'm not going to let you guys get punished for it."

"Isn't this nice," a female voice said. Saraya turned to see a small group of people. Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, Glenn Jacobs, Mark Calaway were standing there. Erick Rowan was with them, but he had a gun that shot arrows, a crossbow. In-between the group were two people Saraya had never see; a baldish man, and a brunette woman. "You know, I never thought it would be so easy to get you here. You fell for this. Had any good dreams, sweetheart?"

Saraya frowned, but she saw the smirk on The Undertaker's face.

"You're the reason for my nightmares," she whispered, but everyone heard her. Her friends looked at her, confused.

The woman laughed, and the man next to her laughed as well.

"You figured it out," she told them. "But that was part one of the plan. You're boyfriend helped with part two."

Saraya looked at Seth, and noticed the horror in his face. "You're Steph Helms, you send me the email about this place. You're the reason we are here!"

Steph nodded.

"Why?" Phillip demanded, glaring at the group.

"We have prepped this place for the sacrifice. This is where we will gain our power," Steph answered, a sadistic smile on her face.

"What are you talking about?" AJ asked, her voice full of annoyance and anger.

"You don't know? Your parents were stupider than we though, isn't that right Hunter," Steph said, her smile growing even larger.

"Hunter? Helmsley?" Saraya questioned, having heard that name before. She remembered her parents talking about Hunter and Stephanie Helmsley, the couple that wanted their power. She didn't know what they were talking about. "Stephanie. You're the ones in charge."

"It seems like the girl isn't incompetent like her parents," Hunter said, amused.

Saraya clenched her fists at her sides. She glared at them. They were the people who caused her to suffer.

"Bevis, we are here for you, and we will get you no matter who stand in our way," Stephanie told the young girl.

The Brit didn't want anyone to get hurt. She was about to walk towards them but someone grabbed her wrist. For a second she thought it was Seth, but when she turned, it was Emma.

"You can't go with them," the Australian told her.

"Who said anything about coming with us?" Hunter asked. Saraya turned towards him, confused.

Saraya heard a whooshing sound. She felt pain where her heart was. She felt it from her chest to her back. She looked down to see the end of the arrow. She opened her mouth, and a whimper escaped. She could see the front of her shirt soak up the blood that was oozing out of her wound.

"Thank you for distracting her," Stephanie said.

Saraya looked at her, she could feel her blood pool in her mouth. She could see the horror in her friends' faces. She could hear laughter behind her. She felt herself fall. Right before everything went black, she heard her mother's voice.

"Only until death will you know."

Naked

Saraya opened her eyes. She sat up and reached for her chest, not finding the arrow. She didn't know where she was. She looked around and noticed that she was at her old house. She slowly sat up and walked towards the living room.

She stopped when she saw the people there. She stopped and froze,, not sure what was going on.

"M-mom?" Saraya whispered, seeing her mother sitting there. Her parents and siblings stood up and wrapped the youngest one in a hug. She didn't want to let them go. She missed them so much.

"What happened? Where am I? Why am I here," Saraya asked, looking at her family. She looked around the house. It looked nothing like that last time.

"Saraya, sweetie, you have to know, you're in between," her mother told her. Saraya's eyes widened, staring at her mother.

"In-between what?" Saraya asked, confused.

"Life and death."

Saraya's eyes widened, as she stared at her mother, at her father. She couldn't believe.

She was dead.
