      Before going out to look for Boyd and Cora Aaliyah made a pit stop at her house for supplies. She snuck in and out without her mother noticing. If she had there would be no chance of the rabid-wolves surviving. Aaliyah was unsure where she stood on that, on one hand this isn't Boyd or Cora's fault, but if they're going to kill someone they need to be stopped.

Now Aaliyah walked through the woods with Issac looking for Cora. When she first met Issac she didn't quite trust him, but since Scott and him started going out, he started to grow on her. While she was stepping over branches trying to be as silent as possible, she decided that it would be smart to text Theo and warn him about the betas and to stay out of the woods. She put her phone back in her pocket and continued forward listening and looking for anything. "Emily! Emily, are you here?" Aaliyah heard a girl yelling.

"Issac," Aaliyah lead the boy towards the woman's voice. Cora's growl was heard through the trees, the hunter held her bow up towards the noise. Aaliyah and Issac shared a knowing glance and carefully ran towards the noise. Issac jumped over a bush in front of Cora and a girl. Aaliyah stayed hidden and aimed at Cora who turned away from the girl towards Issac. Aaliyah had her chance, Cora was right there in her sight but her legs were covered by brush. She'd have to hit her stomach.

Aaliyah's heart pumped as she pulled back the bow ready to shoot, her hands started shaking as she remembered the time she was shot in the stomach. It was like the pain came back without any reason. She kept telling herself to shoot, who cares what happens to Cora she's here to save the girl. She hesitated for too long. Cora growled at Issac, who grinned before running at her taking her out of range. Aaliyah lowered her weapon and steadied her breath. She got up confused and disappointed leaving her bow and arrow on the ground she walked over to the girl and led her away, she got lucky this time.
