Sammie tried to walk ahead of the group as they made their way through the woods but every now and again Jack would give her a look and she would slow down for a bit but not for long. The evening was drawing in and a wind was starting to pick up, Owen shivered and pulled his jacket around him as he ran up to Sammie

"Why are you doing this?" he said shivering as the wind whipped about his face

"I told you…" she said sounding distant

"No…what's the real reason?" he said stopping her

She paused for a moment and then said "Because I feel guilty"

"Why?"

"Because the last thing I said to my mother was that I hated her and I wished she was dead and now thanks to me she is and I am never going to see her again and I can never tell her that I'm sorry for what I said and that I didn't mean it, it's all my fault" Sammie said with tears building up in her eyes

Jack had heard Sammie's tone walked up to her quickly and put a hand on her shoulder as a means of comfort but she just shook it off and dried her eyes she wasn't going to let anyone see her cry not again especially not in front of Jack and the others she was stronger than that

"We should keep going" she said coldly, blinking back tears and she took off again at such a pace that the rest of the group had to run to keep up with her.

When Sammie was far enough ahead of them so that they couldn't see her face, she couldn't hold back her emotions any longer; silent tears streamed down her face as she finally grieved for the loss of her mother and soon these silent tears became audible sobs and even from metres behind her the group could see the young girl shaking with emotion as feelings bottled up for years came flooding out of her. Jack finally caught up with her but by the time he did she was already wiping the tears off her face. In the short time Jack had spent with her, he knew that she wasn't one to cry in front of others and it was rare for her to show emotion like this. Sammie turned away from Jack and walked over to sit on a rock. Her hands gripped its cold hard surface and she gasped as she had another vision of people being killed by this shadow that roamed the woods but this time the shadow turned and she found herself staring into the endless darkness and she screamed. Suddenly she felt strong arms grab her and she thrashed about until she heard a voice "Sammie open your eyes and look at me" the voice belonged to Jack and slowly she opened her eyes and looked up at Jack who wore a worried expression on his face

"What the hell happened?" Owen said as he ran up to them

"Energy channelling she channelled too much too soon and she couldn't cope with it"

Sammie weakly pushed Owens' hands back and shakily stood up "I'm ok" she murmured

"It's these woods they have too much energy in them you can't cope with it" Jack said "We're going back now"

"No I'm ok" she said her voice coming back stronger with every second that passed

"Sammie I will not have a member of my team put in danger"

"I need to do this"

"We turn back now"

"But we're nearly there I can feel it" she said and with that she took off into the woods stumbling slightly as she ran must be an after effect of the energy channelling she thought

The rest of the group sprinted after her and nearly lost sight of her a few times

"She's fast" Owen said breathing heavily

"Jack we can't keep up with her" Gwen said gasping for breath

"It's ok I put a tracking device on her bag before we left the hub, see I can find her on this" Toshiko said holding up a small monitor.

Finally they caught up with Sammie who had stopped to catch her breath. Jack immediately grabbed her before she could take off again

"What the hell do you think you're doing" he said angrily

"Trying to make sure no one else dies"

"You put yourself in so much danger running off like that, not to mention everyone else" he said pointing back at the group

Sammie turned away from Jack and shook herself out of his grasp

"Where do you think you're going now" he shouted after her

"I told you, we're nearly there"

"You don't even know what you're looking for"

Sammie was about to reply when a dark form broke out from the cover of the trees and went directly for Sammie knocking her off her feet and sending her sprawling across the damp woodland ground. The whole thing happened in less than a second and no one had anticipated it happening but seeing it attack Sammie made the whole team jump into action and they desperately tried to fight the shadow to get it off Sammie who was screaming as the shadow lunged over her, she kicked and thrashed about but it was no use the shadow was too strong for her and with that she felt herself drift off into darkness
