Hutch walked through the forest trying to search for Aaron. He looked in his old den, the river, the gorge… nothing.

It wasn't like Aaron to walk off like that. But, then again, he had just undergone some type of transformation. It could be that… or something more deadly. Hutch noticed he was in the middle of the forest.

"Where am I?" He asked himself. He looked left and right. He then looked up and saw the blue sky and a flock of birds. He wasn't near Jasper…

Meanwhile, Aaron tried to figure out why he was hearing voices. It couldn't be his imagination, for he had a strong one and was able to control it. Aaron sniffed the air.

Nothing unusual. He then saw the leaves on the ground. He smiled.

"Thank God for those." He was of course referring to the chemicals that were in Jasper Park leaves that kept him from regenerating and just immune him from death.

Aaron sighed. "At least the itching stopped." He patted his head.

"That was the beginning…" The tiny voice spoke again. Aaron gasped.

"Who's that?!" He yelled as he looked around. Of course, no one was there. Was it him, or was he going crazy. Aaron spoke up.

"Stephano! Is that you?" He asked as he laughed nervously and heart beating. "It can't be Stephano…."

He thought for a second. He gasped and yelled. "BARRELS! I'm tired of your complaining, you traitors!"

He looked around. He shrugged and started to walk. In his head, he repeated to himself that there's no one there. As he walked he continued to hear a tiny voice.

"Aaron… I'm controlling you…" He breathed nervously.

"I don't care! You're just a fatty…" He told the voice.

"Okay… but your mom… she's a fatty…" The voice insulted.

"I know! And it's a disgrace!" He said in a disappointed tone.

"That's no way to talk… to your mom…" The voice said in its usual echoing voice.

"I can say what I want." Aaron stated proudly.

"Really?" The voice asked.

"Anything except curse words."

"Ahhh!" The voice replied with a sort of obvious smile.

"What?" Aaron asked. The voice began to laugh.

"The heck is wrong with you?" Aaron asked. He was really confused. And where was this voice.

"Don't you get it? I'm…" Before it could finish, Hutch ran in and saw Aaron. He smiled.

"Aaron!" He called out. Aaron then looked up at him and laughed. He waved at him.

"Oh, Hutch. Thank God you're here." He started to walk towards him when he heard a cracking noise. He turned to see a tree behind him.

"Aaron, move!" Hutch shouted. Aaron's eyes widened. He ran towards Hutch when suddenly he tripped over a rock.

"Oof!" He fell with a thud. He looked behind him and saw the tree falling down.

He closed his eyes and so did Hutch. What they heard next was silence. Complete and utter silence.

Hutch shivered as he slowly opened his eyes. What he saw wasn't pretty.

"Oh…God…" He whispered.

Aaron started to open his eyes. The tree had missed him completely and just hovered over him. He sighed in relief.

"Thank God…" He whistled. He looked down and screamed in horror.
