As Tyler comes back with the rest of the group, they all gasp and look down at Caleb. Brantley gasps and sees Toby with a bloody nose, black eye, and some blood in his mouth.

Brantley : What the fuck happened!?
Tyler : Toby and Caleb got into a fight.
Ruby : Wait a minute, Caleb did this to you?
Toby : I didn't like the way he was talking about Brantley.

Brantley's eyes begin to cry softly as he feels his heart aching and helps Toby up.

Brantley : Someone help me take Toby back to the cabin.
Piper : I'll help.
Asher : No, you shouldn't be lifting anything heavy. You're growing life inside of you right now.
Piper : You're right, thanks.
Tyler : I'll help.

Toby coughs and spits out some blood as he looks at Brantley and smirks at him. Brantley blushes and raises an eyebrow at him confused.

Toby : Brantley?
Brantley : Yeah?
Toby : You're really going to continue date this asshole?
Brantley : Not anymore.

Toby and Ruby smile, as he holds onto Brantley and wipes his blood on Brantley's shoulder and sniffs Brantley's hair. Tyler picks up Toby's arm and tries to walk him back. The rest of the group look down at Caleb as they hear screaming from the other side of the lake. Ruby's heart starts to pace, as she turns around and sees the same hooded cloak figure in the distance.

Ruby : It-Its him!
O'Shay : Hey! Who the fuck are you?!
Piper : Guys! He's getting close. W-We should go.
O'Shay : I'm not scared of no punk ass guy in a costume.
Asher : Babe, let's go. I'm getting scared!
Piper : What about Caleb?
Ruby : Alright, O'Shay grab him by his arms and Asher, I'll help you grab him by his legs. Let's go!

The team quickly try to carry Caleb back to the cabins, as O'Shay turns around and notices an arrow being shot by the person in the cloak.

O'Shay : Piper! You run ahead, it's not safe! This freak is shooting fucking arrows. Ruby, you go ahead too!
Ruby : Piper, grab my hand! 
Asher : I'll grab the arms and you keep going-
O'Shay : Careful! Duck!

As Asher ducks, they notice an arrow flying over their heads and penetrates the tree. Asher gasps and begins crying as he stands up and continues to help carry Caleb. In a blink of an eye, the person in the cloak shoots one final arrow as it gets shot into Asher's shoulder. Asher then screams and drops to the floor, as O'Shay drops Caleb and rushes to Asher.

O'Shay : Ash! You're okay! It's okay, we're getting the fuck out of this place!
Asher : What about Caleb?
O'Shay : It's his fault we are in this situation.
Asher : He's coming!

O'Shay turns around and notices the person in the hooded cloak speed walking as he takes out a dagger that is dripping with blood. O'Shay starts to panic as he scoops up Asher and notices the person looking up and realizes they have a mask; a white mask with bloody fingerprints on the side smeared. Caleb suddenly gains consciousness as he begins to rub his head. Noticing the person in the mask, Caleb panics and kicks the person down, gets back up on his feet, and starts to run with the two.

Caleb : Oh god! Asher! Where's everyone else!?
O'Shay : Brantley and Tyler took Toby back to the cabins, the girls and I saw that freak, so I told them to run, and Asher was trying to help me carry you back-
Asher : Oh fuck! It hurts!
Caleb : Hang in there buddy!

As the guys reach to the cabins, they notice everyone in Toby's car. O'Shay rushes to the car as everyone gasps and notices the arrow in Asher's shoulder. The girls make room for Asher, as Tyler starts the vehicle. O'Shay gets in while Brantley holds Toby's hand, as he pokes his head out and furrows his brows furious at Caleb.
