"We're here at Rosswood Park again", Jay said to the camera as we waited in his car outside of the park.

"Waiting for Alex, again", I added in with a dull tone. I was still thinking about what we had watched on the tape we took from Alex's apartment. How could Alex actually do that? Was it out of free or force even?

"Last night we watched the tape we took from his apartment. And it is abundently clear we should not be trsuting him, at all right now", Jay countinued. "Neither of us know exactly what happened to Brian, but I probably don't want to know what exactly happened to Brian. All we do know, at least what we think we know, was that Alex knew something was going to happen when he brought him there. He did'nt care about shooting Marble hornets, for all we know he wanted Brian out of the way", Jay mumbled before he looked out the window. I decided to countinue from here.

"Erm, Jessica's on the way here, to meet the two of us and Alex". I paused a little before I went on. "She knew, whatever Alex has to show has something to do with Amy. So aparently to her it's a good idea, in her mind, to follow a stranger into the woods". 'She and Jay would be perfect for each other', I mused to myself in my mind before I thought of something and added, "though in retrospect, judging from what's happened in the last few months, following Alex is a bad idea in general". Jay then added in, looking away from the window,

"But we're not going to tell her that. We don't want to scare her or anything. It might be nothing, he might actually show us something. But, if he does try anything...I'm going to make sure, Jessica and Rebecca get out".

"Jay, you don't-".

"Whatever it is I have to do, to make sure of I don't care", Jay said. "So I guess that's my...confession or whatever. About what happened, if anything does happen to me". After that Jay turned off the camera.

"Jay, I understand wanting to get Jessica out but you don't have to worry 'bout me. He's yelled at me yeah, but I don't think he would actually hurt me", I sighed.

"I'd rather not take that chance", was all Jay replied with. I rolled my eyes a little before looking outside and squinting my eyes as a silver car drove into the car park.

"Hey, I think that's her".

"Let's go meet her then", Jay said, already stepping outside.

"Are you Jay and Rebecca?", the young woman whom I could only guess was Jessica asked as she got out of her own car. She seemed around Jay's age, and her hair was long and about the same shade of brown then my own.

"Yeah", Jay nodded as we shuck hands with her.

"Nice to meet you", I said with a small smile.

"You too. So, do either of you know when Alex will get here?"

"No idea", Jay mumbled, looking around for any sign of Alex.

"Oh. So, how exactly do you two know him?"

"Me and him met in college and Rebecca's his little sister", Jay explained.

"I'm only four years younger then him", I grumbled.

The rest of the waiting for Alex was silent. We just stood by Jessica'scar as time past. Soon however Alex arrived, parking next to Jessica's car.

"What took you so long?", I asked as I folded my arms.

"Follow me, it's this way", was all Alex said as he was walking past us, and tugged on my arm so I was deffinetly forced to follow him.

"How far away is it?", I heard Jessica ask from behind us. Alex did'nt say anything and kept walking, using his spare hand to gesture Jay and Jessica to follow. If Jay had meant what he said earlier, then I guess he would follow after us even if he did'nt want to.

"How much further is it?", Jay questioned this time as we went through the woods. The only sound besides Jay's voice and maybe our faint footsteps I heard was the wind blowing through the leaves.

"Right up here. Not much longer". Alex pointed up ahead. I wish I had taking my glasses with me, then I'd be able to make out properly what exactly Jay was pointing to.

"Alex why don't you just tell us where we're going your not doing a very good job at putting any of us at ease".

"Look, it's a little bit difficult to put into words. Your just going to have to see it for yourself", Alex responded to Jay before he walked up ahead a little further, dragging me along with him.

"Rebecca, when I brought Jay here a while ago did he tell you what I told him of this place?" I nearly jumped at Alex's sudden attention on me.

"Um, I think so but it was a bit hard to concentrate, being sick and all. Why?"

"Back in the 1800's people thought that this place was blessed, since everything would grow so fast", Alex began. "Because of this, they took their worst criminals like murderers and child molesters and tie them to a tree, putting them on a trial before God. The idea was that they would get stretched out".

"Like a rack?"

"Yeah. But they were'nt given food or water so they died of dehydration. The bodies were never cut down though. They would just burn the tree while they were still on them. ...They stopped when a kid went missing, and showed up here where they held the trials".

"Why are you telling me this?", I asked hesitantly. Alex did'nt respond to my question but he did with,

"You have a chance now. To leave".

"What are you-"

"Listen, I'm only giving you this chance once, and only once. When we get there pretend you forgot something from your car and steal it and pretend this never happened. You can still get out of this". I did'nt know what creeped me out more. What Alex was saying or the way he was saying it. They were about equal at the moment. I thought about what he said before I replied,

"Running away is'nt going to do me any good. It did'nt work for Alex, why would it work for me? Besides, all the crap I've been through would be for nothing if I backed out now". Alex's grip on my arm tightened a lot more then necessary. "Ah, Alex your hurting me".

"Just come on. We're nearly there".

It was another five minutes untill we came to what looked like an old mill. I could'nt tell if it was abandoned or not. There was some machinery but it seemed to quiet here.

"It's up here", Alex said as he began to walk up the stairs, though he pushed me ahead of him with his hand on my shoulder so I was the first upstairs.

"It's over there", Alex said and shoved me further in. I looked around and furrowed my eyesbrows in confussion as Jay and Jessica joined me.

"What is it we're looking for?", Jay asked.

"You wanted your answers it's over there". Alex said this louder as he pointed over to some wood. "I don't want to see it again".

The three of us walked over a bit just to see what Alex was talking about. If I was to be honest, I was expecting to see something that would explain everything. Either or Amy..or her body.

But there was nothing.

"Alex just tell us wha-", Jay was saying as he turned around but jumped back a bit and when me and Jessica turned around to see what had startled Jay my blood ran cold and Jessica shrieked as Alex held a gun at us.

"I know you stole the tape Jay. The one with Brian on it, I know you've been following me too and I know about you and Tim, Rebecca"

"What?", Jay questioned as he protectively held out one arm in front of me and Jessica, the other he was using to hold the camera. Whether Jay's 'what' question was to the statements made towards him or the one made to me was something I was hardly thinking about.

"I've had plenty of chances to do this".

"So your going to kill us?!", Jessica cried.

"Including your sister?!", I yelled, trying to sound like I was'nt terrified even though I was. The fear probably seeped out a bit in cracks. This could'nt be happening, this had to be a nightmare. Just let me wake up.

"I did'nt want to get Jessica involved!", Alex started yelling, though most of the anger seemed directed towards Jay. "That's why I said I found Amy! It's bad enough you dragged Rebecca into this without pulling another person in!"

As Alex still yelled at Jay, who pushed me and Jessica further back, I noticed another figure comming silently up behind Alex. It was Tim, wearing that creepy white and black mask. Well, I assumed it was him anyway. I did'nt have a reason not to think so. He grabbed Alex by surprise and began struggling with him as Jay pushed me and Jessica to run.

"Go, go!", Jay said. As much as I did'nt want to leave without Tim I knew I did'nt really have much of a choice so I just ran with Jay and Jessica down the stairs. Just as we were a few feet away I heard a gun shot and I felt a lump in my throat. What had happened? Did someone get shot, or did the bullet just hit a wall? If it hit someone who? Tim? Alex? And did the bullet...hit somewhere vital?

Running through the woods was just a blur for me. I just remember running into the car park just behind Jay and Jessica, the both of them being kinda faster then me.

"Where are we going what do we do now?", Jessica asked as we made it to the cars.

"Uh, go back to your place. Pack something, pack lightly and meet me at the hotel on...", my mind trailed off from their conversation as I leaned against Jay's car to catch my breath and try and get my thoughts in order. Had Alex just tried to kill us? Why? I also thought back to what he said shortly before. Did he seriously expect me to steal Jay's car and never return to any of this again? What the hell is going on?

"Rebecca", I looked and saw Jay sit down next to me, holding a chest cam and a small bag.

"Where did you get those?"

"Alex left the back door of his car open. They were in the front seat", Jay explained and I nodded my head,

"Right. Well, should'nt we get to the hotel then?"

"Jessica won't be there for another hour, and I think we can spare a few minutes to collect ourselves".

"...Your upset about...Me and Tim, are'nt you", I mumbled.

"...No I'm not upset I'm...Why did'nt you tell me?", Jay questioned me.

"I don't know I guess...after everything that had happened, I did'nt want you to think you could'nt trust me", I explained, hanging my head low. Jay sighed and put an arm around me.

"Well, I guess I can see your point. ...When did this start?"

"A couple days after Alex broke his leg I guess", I shruged. "I was sitting at a bench and he just appeared. We talked a bit, and he kissed me".

"Right. ...Did you try asking him questions?"

"I did, but he would'nt say".

"Well, at least you tried", Jay sighed. "Did he ever hurt you?"

"No, if anything I felt comfortable with him", I replied with a small smile. "Alex was'nt pleased 'bout it though. He kinda saw me and Tim when he kissed me".

How mad was he?", Jay asked.

"He said I was acting like an idiot", I answered, a smile twitching at my lips. "Would I be a bad person if I said I was more worried about Tim then Alex now?"

"After what's happened I highly doubt it", Jay said as he shuck his head. "Did he say anything to you when me and Jessica were trailing behind?"

"He...He told me that I had a chance to escape from all this and that when we got there I should pretend to have forgotten something in the car and just steal it and never come back".

"Well, the fact you did'nt proves I can trust you", Jay said to me as he got off the sidewalk and helped me up. "Look, we'll talk about this later. We got to meet Jessica at the hotel and plan out what we should do next".

"Right", I nodded and went into the car with Jay and as we did I asked,

"Hey Jay, is it okay if I sleep in your room with you tonight? I know there's a second bed in there. It's just that I'd feel safer staying in a room with someone I've known longer then someone I've just met. Not that I don't trust Jessica".

"Sure, no problem".

We were soon back at our hotel and did'nt have to wait too long for Jessica.

"You got everything you need?", Jay asked.

"Yeah", Jessica replied.

"Okay um, we should probably stay in our hotel rooms for most of the day, then we'll figure out where we're going tomorrow". Jay then went over showed us the bag with the tapes and what he stole from Alex's car. "Um before you check in, these right here. These are all the tapes I've been shooting on my camera. All my interactions with Alex and everything are all on these tapes". Jay then pulled out the tape we stole. "This one right here is important. It's the one we stole from Alex's apartment, the one he did'nt want us to see. And there's this hard drive which I just took from him", Jay said pulling out said hard drive. "I don't know what's on it but we'll see. Pretty sure it's important. So, I'll put all this in the safe that's in my room. I need a four diget combination that the three of us can remember, incase we need to get in for any reason".

"Just use 1, 2, 3, 4", Jessica suggested to Jay.

"No, that's too easy. It's the first thing I'd try", I said. "How about one of our birthday's, or birth year?", I suggested.

"No, if Alex shows up he'll obviously know your birthday and he knows mine and he probably would'nt have too much of a hard time to find out Jessica's since she was Amy's roommate", Jay sighed.

"Well, how about the last four digets of my phone number that's an easy one to remember" Jessica said.

"Well, what is it?"

"It's 1, 1, 0, 2".

"It is pretty easy", I shruged.

"Er, yeah I can remember that", Jay nodded. "It's fine".

"Okay, I'm going to go check in. My head's killing me", Jessica said.

"Oh, Jessica. Me and Jay were sharing adjoined rooms. I can check out of my one and move in with Jay and you can check into it. So we're not too far away", I suggested.

"Well, I guess it would'nt be a bad idea", Jessica replied, nodding in agreement. I nodded back.

"'Kay, so you just wait in the lobby for me, I'll just get my stuff and put it into Jay's room and I'll check out so you can check in".

"Thanks again for letting me put my notebooks in the safe with the tapes", I said that night as I laid down in bed, prepaired to sleep.

"It's not problem Rebecca. But you did'nt have to", Jay said as went to go to his own bed.

"Yeah, but I don't really feel like writing up todays events tonight, or anything else for a while, so might as well keep them somewhere safe. Oh, do you mind if you leave your laptop on? The light helps me sleep better".

"I was going to anyway", Jay said as he turned off the lamp next to him. "Goodnight Rebecca".

"Night Jay", I said before I closed my eyes, prepaired to have another night of trying to go to sleep.

It had to have been two or three hours at least when me and Jay heard a scream. Jessica's scream. It woke the both of us up.

"Shit!", I muttered as I got out of bed, prepaired for the worst as Jay quickly grabbed his camera and ran to the door joining our rooms. I followed after him and tried to force the door open, but it would'nt budge.

"Jessica!", Jay started ponding on the door. I turned away from the door and saw to my horror Him! That thing that's been tormenting all of us. After that, everything is black.

I was in those woods again. The ones that actually had leaves on them unlike the ones in the dreams before. But even with foliage, there still seemed to be an uneasiness here. I still questioned why it seemed familiar, but then I thought that it might have been the woods near where me and Alex had grown up. I can't remember the last time I had been there. I just seemed to never go there anymore since I was ten I think. Even when I moved in with Aunt Edna on the other side of town about four years ago, I still never went near the woods. I'm not sure why.

Then, I saw him. The little boy who had the slight resemblance to Alex. He just stood in a clearing, staring at me. I felt like I knew him from somewhere. Somewhere in my childhood. But it hurt to think back so far.

"It's your fault", he said bluntly, and I blinked in surprise at both his sudden ability to talk and at what he had to say.

"Excuse me? What do you-".

"You were with me. I looked like him. To HIM, that was enough to think I was Alex".

"What are you on about?", I demanded, trying to keep my cool. I was'nt going to get mad over some kid's words, but I can't deny what he said did spook me a little.

The boy did'nt respond and tilted his head.

"The bikes are outside the woods. Then you woke up".

"What are you even talking about? Are you just saying random stuff to tick me off?" Okay, now I was really starting to get pissed off. But the boy just walked away like nothing happened, and I began to hear a ringing. A very loud and annoying, ringing.

My eyes slowly opened up. It was completely dark. The only sources of light were comming from a open laptop, and a tv that was really acting strangely, but considering there was not one but two sources of some light, I was'nt going to complain. I froze when I began to hear a groan, but I quickly realized who it was.

"Jay? You okay?", I asked as I sat up from the bed I was on.

"Re-Rebecca? Where the heck are we?"

"I...was kinda hoping you would know".
