Tiffany and Serena were running, yelling for the missing girls. No answer to indicate any of the girl's whereabouts or the slightest indication they were even alive. Panic rose and night fell.

Tiffany stopped grabbing Serena's arm as she panted heavily. Serena looked at her with a shocked look. An exhausted look on Tiffany's face.

"We're gonna have to split" Tiffany spattered breathlessly. Serena however shook her head in protest.

"No, we can't! Someone's-Something's out there, we're better if we sticking together'

Tiffany stood up straight "We have and look where it's gotten us. If we spilt we can cover more ground. Blair, Jenny, and Vanessa are out there and could possibly be-

Serena then slapped Tiffany across the face, but smacked a hand to her mouth seeing the mistake she made. Tiffany's head turned on impact, her cheek feeling sharp tingles in her cheek. She slowly turned her face back to Serena; her jaw slightly dropped not anticipating such a reaction from Serena. "I'm-so-sorry" Serena said.

"Look they're not dead okay, just don't say that. We just have to keep looking, together" She said reinforcing "together".

'Serena if your so determined to find your friends ALIVE then I suggest we split. We'll cover a hell lot of more ground that way."

Serena was looking around the slowly darkening sky, making the woods darker. She looked terrified. Tiffany noticed the look too well. She sighed profoundly; though she knew how the girl was feeling, taken she was just as scared of splitting it had to be done. Three girls missing, if any were hurt it would take twice as long to find her. Tiffany put her hands on Serena's shoulder causing her to jump.

"Listen to me closely," Tiffany started to say making sure she has Serena's full attention before going on. Serena gave a nod which told her she did and Tiffany licked her lips and continued. "You see something moving get on the ground and remain still and silent. Wait till you're sure it's safe to get up, understand?"

Serena gave another nod though she went back looking anxious about there next move. Tiffany grabbed Serena's face to bring Serena's eyes to hers. "Relax."

Tiffany let go and took towards the left side of the woods and made her way in.

Serena was in the right side, her arms crossed tightly against her body and uneasy look on her face. She walked night creatures making her paranoid as she looked in the direction of every noise.

"Okay…I'm gonna die…this what I get for being a good friend, well somewhat of a good friend to Blair…I hate karma" Serena talked to herself to try and ease tension but only made herself feel worse.

An owl hooted and Serena pivoted on the spot, practically jumping, to look in the direction of the owl. She held a hand to her chest, heart pounding hard. The sound of leaves crunching under feet sounded a mere second later having Serena turn on the spot, her heart jumping and adrenaline pumped.

"H-hello?" She quivered.

No one answered. Serena squinted her eyes to try and make out what made the noise. "Is someone there... Blair... Anybody?"

Then a figure ran from one tree to the next giving Serena a jump and the motivation to run in the opposite direction.

"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, I'm going to die." She said to herself in a quick manner as she ran. She looked back to see if someone was following but subsequently collided with a huge oak tree. Falling back and hitting her head hard on the ground obscuring her vision as she looked up into the night sky. A figure hovered over her.

"Serena? Are you okay?" The familiar female voice asked with a sharp whisper.

"Am I dead?" Serena asked.

She sighed and grabbed Serena's hand and pulled her to her face. "Vanessa?" Serena asked

"I found Blair," Vanessa said.

Serena's eyed widened "What?" Serena solicited her voice loud and clear.

"Shh!" Vanessa hissed looking around to make sure no one was around. She pulled Serena behind a tree. "I found Blair" Vanessa repeated.

"Is she okay? What even happened?" Serena asked with great concern for her best friend.

Vanessa gulped as if trying to hold down what was about to come up. "It was awful. We decided to sit down, you know. Out of nowhere someone came up from behind us, we didn't ever hear him. He um…" Vanessa gulped again having a hard time retelling the incident. "He stabbed Jenny and was about to come after me but…Blair she jumped on his back," she said with skepticism in her voice.

"Blair, what?" Serena does not believe it either.

"...She told me to run so I ran. He stabbed Jenny…for crying out loud and I ran." Vanessa cried. Tears trailed down her cheeks.

Serena brought Vanessa into her arms to try and comfort her. 'Its okay, anyone in your situation would have done the same thing." Serena said.

Vanessa pulled away shaking her head. "No, only a coward would have done such a thing" Vanessa sobbed wiping the fallen tear marks on her cheeks. "I heard you and Tiffany yelling for us but I was too scared to come out,"

A small laugh came from Serena "Anyone would have stayed where they were. What you witnessed- Vanessa this isn't your fault. There's a sick bastard out there, it could have been a suicide mission if you came out." Serena comforted. "It was probably best if you waited for someone, I would have"

Vanessa didn't seem convinced and Serena looking sympathetic towards Vanessa. "C'mon, let's get Blair,"

Vanessa sniffled, "I hid her under some leaves."

Tiffany was walking along the dead leaves under the night sky. She kept her eyes peeled for any sign of movement. It was usually the night creatures that made her paranoid about being outside alone, but now the psycho killer was what keeping her on edge.

It was a sickening feeling to think that she could be attacked at any moment and wondering how anyone could do such a thing to innocent people. Her train of thought broken when she lost her footing and fell forward landing on all four then collapsed on the solid cold floor of the woods. She groaned pushing her upper body up to see what she had fallen in and what appeared to be a hole in the ground. Her front perception looked as if it couldn't have been more than 4 feet deep. She looked to her side and the site made her turn pale white, her eyes broadened, her expression blank, and her heart raced.

Jenny laid there appearing to be staring at Tiffany but her face was dead like and Jenny remained motionless.

But she heard a name emit out of Jenny's throat, which Tiffany unmistakably knew was hers. Tiffany scurried .over to Jenny's side, but didn't dare move her because of her weak state.

"Jenny…" She panicked scanning the girl from head to feet.

Tiffany-I-I'm cold," She gave a soft cry. "I-I Th-think I've been stabbed, "

Tiffany could feel her heart breaking, her stomach dropping. How could this be happening? Especially to Jenny who was only 15 years old. A tear fell down her cheek. Tiffany sniffled and picked Jenny's left hand that laid dead like on the ground, and squeezed if firmly. Her hand felt so cold to Tiffany. Jenny looked like she was having a hard time keeping her eyes open.

"Okay, look, Jenny please stay with me, okay? I'm going to go look for help. Se-"

On those words Jenny grabbed Tiffany's hand with her other hand, clamping it down. "Don't leave me here, he's out there," she cried.

"No, no, no, please he could come back! He could come back!" She shrieked, pleading for Tiffany to stay. Pressure and frustration built in Tiffany, she didn't know what to do but she couldn't let Jenny just lay there and die!

"If I don't get help or at least get you out of here you might die! We both could get killed! Jenny, I'm sorry, but I don't see another option here," Tiffany tried to convince Jenny of doing what she thought best, but failed when Jenny shook her head slowly.

Jenny gulped, but struggled in doing so. "It doesn't matter, I don't have much long, I can feel it," Jenny revealed.

It was heart wrenching, tear jerking, stomach churning, throat drying, body trembling, and nerve racking feeling to hear those defeated words. Tiffany thought it was best not to press the matter. She didn't want cause Jenny any more distress.

Jenny's arm fell across her chest and closed her eyes. "Tiffany?" She asked

"Yeah?" Tiffany responded quickly.

'C-can you stay…at least…till I-I...go?" Jenny inquired.

Go?

Who knew such a small word could be so immense with emotional meaning? It broke what was left of Tiffany's heart and all she could do was nod. Words seemed to escape her.

"You know we could have all evaded this if you would have just let me blow Mrs. Carr up" Blair stated.

Serena and Vanessa had an arm of Blair's over there shoulder as they helped her walk. Neither girl said anything to Blair's ranting demise of Mrs. Carr, and merely walked on until they got back onto the road. The girls were so distracted that they didn't notice the car that was heading down the road head on at full speed. The headlights of the car catching their attention and the girls impulsively screamed. The car stopped inches from them. Through the near blinding headlights they could make out the three guys situated in the car and they clearly recognized them.

Chuck, Nate, and Dan exited the car, staring at the girls with awe expression.

"Oh thank god," Vanessa cried.

"Holy- What happened?" Nate asked, stunned at the messed up site of them. The untidiness condition of there hair, clothes covered in dirt, Serena bleeding from her forehead, and Blair's need of support.

"Someone's out there! He-He attacked us…" Vanessa trailed off from her panic explanation to look at Dan.

Dan was looking back at her when he realized something. "Where's Jenny?" He asked alarmed.

"Dan, Jenny's been stabbed" Vanessa informed, her voice cracking.

"What?" he raised an eyebrow.

Vanessa pointed to the left side in which Jenny was in. "He dragged her in their,"

"Tiffany went searching in that part when we spilt, but I don't know if she found her," Serena informed.

Dan went running off in that direction. "Dan!" Nate called out. He looked to the others. "I'm going to go with him, Chuck stay here with the others" Nate said. Nate went back to the car and reached into the passenger side and pulled out a flashlight and headed after Dan.

"You're going to leave him to protect us?' Blair yelled to Nate flabbergasted.

"He can protect you!" Nate called back.

Blair looked at Chuck. "What are you going to scare him with your face?" Blair laughed at her joke, others however weren't at all amused. Chuck then reached into the inside pocket of his coat and pulled out a gun.

"Or his scary gun," Blair was in awe. Vanessa and Serena exchanged a look.

"Tiffany!"

"Jenny!"

"Jenny! Tiffany! Guys!"

The two boys yelled as they ran through the woods hoping to find a trace of any of the two girls.

"Hey, Jenny-I think I can hear Dan and Nate! We're gonna be okay!" Tiffany's excited tone faltered when she looked from the direction of the boys to Jenny.

Jenny, however spoke not a word to the news.

"Jenny," Tiffany looked for signs of life in the eyes of the girl, but assumed the worse. Jenny's hand fell from Tiffany's hand. Tiffany pressed a hand to her mouth. "Oh, Jenny," She wept.

"Tiffany!" Came Nate's voice, which seemed to be getting closer to them. Tiffany got to her feet, her eyes locked on Jenny.

"I'm so sorry," Tiffany forced herself to move and run in the direction of the boys.

"NATE" she screamed as she dodged trees and jumped over anything that could make her fall. It wasn't soon before long when Nate and Tiffany found one another. She didn't waste a second as she pulled Nate, Dan following, to where Jenny laid. When they reached the pit Dan jumped in and knelt by his little sister.

"Jenny!" he breathes. He put an hear to his chest as if to hear her heart. Nate was trailing the flash light across the pit. "What the…" He blinked. "It looks like a…grave."

Dan scooped his sister up. "Let's get out of here!" He ordered to the other two as he walked off., Nate and Tiffany stared at the grave for a couple of moments before Tiffany spoke.

"This is where he was going to bury us" Tiffany believed.

"Come on," he said. Before they could turn Tiffany then felt a hand grab her hair tight and throw her forward and into the grave. Nate turned to see a masked man behind him, but jerked forward as a knife impaled his stomach and was kicked into the grave. Nate landed beside Tiffany, groaning as he clutched his stomach.

"Nate!" Tiffany screeched.

"Tiffany…run!" were Nate's initiative words. The man stepped into the grave. "GO!" he growled. Tiffany got to her feet and hurried to climb out the grave.

It seemed like all she was doing tonight was running, panicking, crying, and worrying. Every feeling a simple fun task shouldn't have turned into.

She could now feel her chest tightening and she was slowing down.

A body then rear-ended her and knocked her to the ground. She screamed, petrified because she knew who it was! "Get off me!" She screamed. "Why are you doing this!"

As she thrashed, clawed, and screamed, she could hear the distinct sound of her shirt ripping. He pressed his body down hard against hers. He tried to muffle her screaming by pressing a hand to her mouth but she took the initiative to bite him.

The man howled in pain as he got to his knees. Tiffany kicked him back and tried to crawl away. To no surprised but deep despair, crawling away was impossible as he grabbed her leg and dragged her back. Tiffany's nails dug into the ground, but that was as pointless as the crawling away. Tiffany screamed when he straddled himself on her.

"Hey!" Came a voice which caught both Tiffany and the attackers attentions.

Chuck stood there with the gun pointed. "Gotcha" Chuck sneered then BANG!

The attacker collapsed on her but Tiffany didn't hesitate to push him off. She pushed herself back, panting heavily. Chuck came to her side and reached a hand out. Tiffany took it and he helped her to her feet.

"Nate" she said.

They helped Nate out the woods.

When they came back to the road Blair went running over to them, meeting up in the middle of the road. "What happened?" She asked

They walked right by her and leaned Nate against the car. Dan came out the other side. "I don't know how much longer Jenny can make it! How are we suppose to fit all these people in the car?" Dan was getting restless.

"We'll manage," Chuck reassured. We're going to have to sit Jenny up Dan, and she'll sit on you lap. Nate can sit in-between Dan and I. Tiffany can sit on my lap. Serena you drive, Vanessa you can sit between Blair and Serena in the front. Lets go!" Chuck instructed. Nobody argued and did what Chuck said to do.
