A/N- Hey guys, this is the second last chapter. Sorry, It's just a short one and it's a bit different from the others (it doesn't contain anything about any of the characters so far lol) but it will make sense when you read it. The next and final chapter will clear everything up and tie up loose ends. Promise :)

People rarely came up the mountains. He lived a pretty quiet existence here. The only people he ever seemed to encounter were young adventurers and confused tourists trying to get themselves out of trouble. Even that wasn't very often. It was about 45 minutes from a popular tourist destiation. The water from the falls here fell down the treacherous terrain and into a safe little lake for families to go swimming in. There was a town near by, but not many people new of it. Eden was the kind of place families lived in for generations. about 30 people resided there now.

Leo Renner was one of those people. Growing up the son of a ranger, he swore as soon as he turned 18 he'd be out of there in a flash. Move into the city and get an apartment that looked over all the people living their busy lives. That didn't happen. Leo stayed, had a child, married his high school sweet heart Ava and ended up doing the exact same job as his father.

It wasn't a flashy life, but it was nice. He wouldn't want to raise his son PJ any other place.

Leo recieved a radio transmission. Police where heading up this way. Leo's father Pete had headed down the track, ready to greet and prep them. There hadn't been this much chaos since back in 06' when that German Tourist fell to her death. This time it was something about missing children. A grave site they said. Leo didn't want to know, but he felt the urge to look anyway. Nobody knew this place better than him, and things would get hectic when heavy footed policemen from the city started barging around and losing themselves.

He got out of his truck. Once he closed the door he leaned against the hood. He took in the beautiful site and wondered if it had been burdened by the most horrendous of acts.

"Leo, you there?"

Leo reached into his pocket, retrieving the black radio he had shoved in their earlier.

"Yeah Dad. I don't see anything." he replied.

Pete Renner took a deep breathe, lowering his voice.

"The first police car arrived. I got Chuck to take em up in his car. They thought they would just drive up there themselves."

Leo sighed. "No wonder there are so many accidents. People have no idea."

"I know, son. Just remember why they're here. We gotta do everything we can to help em, even if that means ignoring stupidity."

Something caught Leo's eye.

"Son?" Pete prompted.

"Yeah, yeah I'm here."

Leo bent down to inspect. It was covered in dirt.

"I found something." Leo said warily.

Pete closed his eyes, afraid of what was coming next.

"It's a toy. When was the last time we had a kid up here?"

"Maybe it's PJ's?" suggested Pete.

Leo shook his head "It's a doll."

"Well I don't know Leo, that doesn't mean anything. Probably some dumb tourists."

Silence.

"Leo?"

"Someone's been here recently. The grass is all disturbed. I see some footprints."

"Hell Leo, that could be anyone from Town..."

"With a little girl?"

"Maybe you should wait to the police get there."

"Yeah. I'll talk later Dad."

Beep.

Leo and Pete both knew there was no way in hell Leo was waiting to the police got there. So he walked. He followed the path. He knew how to track something. Or someone.

It was difficult now. It was hard to believe someone would walk out all this way. Leo, maybe. His Father. Chuck. A handful of other locals. But a tourist? Someone with a little girl no less? He didn't like this.

He jumped over a creek. Climbed over some rocks. Pushed his way past a large bush. Avoided poison Ivy. The track got narrow. It got wet. He walked some more.

Clunk.

What the hell?

He looked down to his feet. He saw wood. He reached down.

Knock knock.

It was hollow.

'mph'

A noise.

Leo frantically moved dirt and leaves.

Wood was lined out in a rectangle formation. Not wood from the forest. They were smooth planks, probably bought from a hardware store.

Something shiny caught his eye.

A lock.

This was not good.

Leo quickly looked around, finding a rock.

Bam.

It stayed in place.

Bam.

He tried again.

Bam.

It flung off.

Leo pressed his hand against the wood, closing his eyes for half a second. He was scared of what he would find inside.

He opened it.

The space was only a little bigger than a coffin. Appropriate, given what was inside.

Oh god.

The lifeless body of a small girl lay inside.

Insects crawled all over her, biting at her skin and eating the material of her small white dress.

Leo had to be sure.

He reached out. "Honey?" he said in a wary voice.

Movement.

Her eyes fluttered.

"Mom?" a small weak voice escaped her dry throat.

"Oh my god." Said leo. "Honey."

He reached out to pick her up.

"No!" she tried to scream. "Go away! I want Mommy! Don't touch me!"

"Honey honey honey..." Leo said frantically "My name's Leo... You're safe now. Here... come on..."

She stopped talking. Her eyes closed. She was still breathing though it was faint.

"Dad!" Leo screamed into the radio.

"Leo? What's wrong!"

"I found one! I found a girl!"

"Jesus... I'll tell the police..."

"You're not listening!" Leo screamed into the radio. "She's alive dad, she's alive!"
