A/N: HG and I thank you all for your reviews. They really are wonderful and help encourage this little story along. :)

Serena stumbled through the forest unaware of her surroundings, unaware of chill, of the blood that covered her, or of what she was doing. All she knew was she was drawn to a warmth in front of her, focused on a certain part of the warmth, a need to fulfil a task more important than anything else.

Although, not much of Serena was left in this being. The body was more of a of a tomb used for the dark force's purposes, to fulfill its needs. One goal in mind, to find the remaining parts. A need for another so strong and deep it would take all it needed before it was through.

However, from time to time it would be as if the real Serena would be resurrected for a handful of seconds. As if her soul floated into her body long enough to hear her name being called out before drifting off into the night again. Her soul condemned to wandering until her body was finally at rest, yet no way for her to rejoin it permanently.

She was left to wander, to wander the world alone...

As Addison stumbled through the inky night, the light mist hindered her ability to see more than a few feet. Even as she walked, she wasn't exactly sure how she managed to get separated from everyone, one minute she was standing next to Kim the next she was alone. Shaking her head, she took a steadying breath and started to walk, all that mattered right now was finding them again and the safety that came from Teddy's steady presence.

It was an odd phenomenon though, if she allowed herself to think about it; in a way, it was as if she'd been drawn away by some unseen force, although, that sounded crazy and didn't make sense and Addison liked things to make sense. She needed to clear her head and stay focused if she was going to find her way back to the group or at this point, she'd settle for finding Olivia.

However, with each crunch of her foot against the ground she seemed to be straying further from the path, as if the mist was leading her somewhere. It obscured the moonlight and was thick in every direction but where it wanted her to go, drawing her deeper into the wood. Shaking her head she tried to clear her thoughts again, telling herself over and over, "Get a grip Addison, get a grip. Find Teddy."

As she walked all she could hear was her own heartbeat, drumming loudly in her ears. She began getting frustrated, it felt as if she was walking in circles, getting nowhere. Occasionally she would build the courage to softly call out for one of her friends, afraid to draw attention to herself whilst alone and vulnerable. A response never came from, if anything of the silence seemed to deepen.

As the mist continued to deepen, she began to wonder if maybe she should find a safe place and wait till morning. However, she also didn't want to sit around and wait for this mysterious killer to find her. If she could just find at least Olivia she'd feel safe enough to bunk down until morning, the brunette much like Teddy had a way of seeming calm and in control despite all that was going on around them.

"I just need to think about something else...something more relaxing," Addison mumbled lightly to herself, even though her voice was a whisper it sounded loud in her ears after walking in silence for so long. Letting her mind travel to things she learned last semester in her embryology class, Addison started thinking about her future as a doctor. She enjoyed that class a lot, maybe she'd go into fetal medicine. Then she could work on babies in utero where they are still safe...before they came out into this fucked up world.

Falling to her knees, the panic took over and she begins to cry, wracking sobs that made her entire body shake, "What kind of world do we live in that nine friends can't go camping without getting attacked in the night?" Her panic turning to unreasonable anger as she cried out, "I told you, Theodora! I told you we should go on a cruise!" She screamed again, her fear completely taking over as her breathing b came ragged. Swiping angrily at the tears that had escaped her eyes, she said, "I fucking told you." Pushing herself to her feet, she took a deep breath and in a loud clear voice called out, "But I, Addison Montgomery, refuse to die in these godforsaken woods, you hear me. I'm not going to die out here."

Starting to walk again, she continued her journey through the woods, reciting the periodic table in her mind anything to keep her mind from the constant chill on the back of her neck. After what felt like forever, she started to notice markers here and there that looked familiar, and felt her nerves begin to settle and the shaking in her hands begin to dissipate. She finally felt like she might survive this nightmare. That's when she saw her...

Olivia, down on the ground, her face frozen in shock and fear. Her neck was cut, the blood staining the ground beneath her. Approaching slowly, Addison noticed the slash mark on the jacket Olivia was wearing, leaning closer she tagged as she noticed that Olivia's heart had been cut out of her chest. The gory image was too much for her, and Addison began throwing up.

Shaking uncontrollably, Addison began screaming and crying, "Help me! I don't want to die! I don't want to die out here...I don't want to die..Please Teddy help me."

Pushing herself to her feet, she began to run at full speed in the opposite direction of Olivia's glassy lifeless brown eyes, Addison ran and ran not noticing the mist that closed around her. She wanted to go home. She wanted to go home and climb into her bed, next to Teddy who would automatically reach out and pull her tight against her chest. She wanted to wake up and have this all be a nightmare. She wanted it to be over.

She never saw the root that her foot caught in, just heard the snap of bone as loud as a gunshot in the still night. She hit the ground so hard all the air was knocked out of her, hindering her ability to scream in pain. Laying motionless, Addison fought for air and the memory of how to splint an ankle bone.

Sensing a presence she looked up, seeing a blood soaked Serena suddenly above her and knowing she was completely defenceless, Addison just cried. Her hot tears soaked her cheeks, her only comfort was the knowledge she wouldn't have to see Teddy murdered, her lovers name escaping her lips as the first sting of the knife plunged into her chest, and air suddenly refilled her lungs. By the second sting of the blade, Addison Montgomery let out her last scream.

Teddy was the first to recognize Addison's scream. "No, Addison," was all she said as she tore off into the night, her friends in hot pursuit. They ran and ran, not knowing what they would find for sure, but faintly aware that a scream in the night only meant one thing. Death.

As they reached a sudden opening, Teddy came to a complete stop, Casey almost knocking her to the floor as they collided. They stared in silence at the horror of what was left of Olivia laying at their feet. Amanda fell to her knees at the sight of the woman she loved glassy eyed and soaked in blood. Silently she pulled Olivia's still form into her arms not caring about the blood that marked her clothes and skin, she just needed to hold Olivia, rocking her as she pleaded for a miracle.

Casey muttered, "I saw this coming." Before turning away and looking up at the stars an unexplainable smile on her face.

Teddy gently removed Olivia from Amanda's grasp and instantly got to work examining the body, not once looking above the wound in her friends throat. "Whoever is doing this has some form of medical knowledge. They knew what they were doing when they cut out her heart, their precision is spot on." Teddy said in a monotone voice, she needed this to be another cadaver in anatomy class, a nameless, faceless person who had died of natural causes, not her best friend brutally killed before her life had really began.

"Oh my god," Kim whispered as she bent down, to offer a measure of comfort to the sobbing blonde as Amanda had done for her. "It's okay, I am here, I've got you," Kim tried to soothe while her own mind was going a mile a minute. Her thoughts were fragmented, Casey's odd behaviour, the Latin phrase playing on repeat, Abbie gone, Serena killing and now poor Olivia the heart of their group her own heart missing. She was snapped from her thought by Alex's loud scream.

Suddenly Alex starts screaming, "We are all going to die out here. We are going to die and no one can help us." Grabbing the lapels of her girlfriends jacket she was as almost shaking her as she continued to scream, "Casey we are going to die."

"Alex, calm down. You have to take a breath and get a grip." Snapped Casey, ripping Alex's hands from her jacket. "Breathe Alex." Casey tried to soothe although the harsh snap in her voice made her sound more bitter than comforting.

"I can't do this," Alex says taking off in a full sprint. She needed to get away from Olivia's glassy stare, Amanda's soft sobs and the anger radiating from Casey. She runs and runs until she trips and falls to the floor, she can tell from the softness of her landing she had landed on another person. Pushing herself to her knees she hears someone approaching from behind her, she can tell its Casey by the string of expletives being hurled her way, adding to the ache in her heart.

Feeling something wet and sticky on her hands, Alex looks down at the person she had stumbled upon, her breath catching as Casey shines the light from her flashlight over her. The unmistakable red is to much for the blonde to handle.

The last thought through Alex Cabot's mind as she lost consciousness was, "We are all going to die out here..."

A/N; Thank you for all the reviews and favourites for this story, we hope you're enjoying reading it as much as we're enjoying writing it. Myself and my utterly adorable coauthor Ellelaw were debating whether we would want a nice soothing cup of tea or a Xanax should we find ourselves in the wood being hunted by a killer, anyway, we're now asking you, tea or drugs? Which would you reach for? Or maybe you have a totally different survival beverage in mind? Let us know.
