At that exact moment there is a loud growl coming from out of the Woods. "That's Isaac" Scott looks at me in shock. "He's one of the victims."

9:56 PM

With my eyes wide and full of fear, there is just one thing on my mind: Isaac... To find him and save him.
"Well we have to go!" I turn around to face both Scott and Stiles. "We can't leave" Stiles harshly lays his hand on Scott his shoulder, but Scott quickly pulls his arm away. His wounds are still healing so Stiles his touch only made it worse. "He's right" Scott softly begins to speak. "Wh- but... Uh- are you kidding me?" I try to speak, but the words don't seem to come out right, or at all. "Derek will go with you" Stiles decides the moment he looks at Scott. Scott immediately nods. I rase my hands in an 'are you kidding me' kind of way and let my head fall back. "Yea sure" Derek positively answers. Shocked by his answer, I turn around to look at Derek. "You're joining me?" Derek answers my question with a simple nod. "We'll find you as soon as we're done with the police" Scott says after being called for by the Sheriff. Of course he knows what happened, but he can't just let us go. Some victims of tonight actually blame us for all of this. I nod at Scott and make my way towards Allison. Allison notices my distress, but before I could interact with her a woman, who got rushed to the ambulance, caught our attention. The woman who got thrown against the wall by the creature, to be exact. She is in a very bad condition and by the looks of it she isn't going to make it. I start to worry a little more by the sight of the creature it's strength. "We need to find Isaac. The Wendigo took him and he's in danger. We need you" I look back at Allison the moment I speak.

10:12 PM

The three of us are out in the woods, looking for Isaac. Derek is using his abilities to get a sense of him or another sound, but it turns out to be harder than expected. After walking circles, Allison and I sit down against a tree. "This seems impossible" Allison starts. "What if he's somewhere else? Somewhere far from here?" She continues. "No, no that can't be right. It has to be here, right in these woods" I softly answer while shaking my head a little. "How do we know he hasn't been killed yet" Derek says without showing any emotion. I give him a blank look and rest my head against the tree, thinking. "Where do Wendigo's hide?" Allison lays down her crossbow. "Somewhere in a cave... Somewhere dark." The moment I answered Allison her question, I thought of something. "Remember when we went on that run, a few PE classes ago.." Allison nods and the look on her face immediately shows me she knows what i'm talking about. "That's where he is! The cave!" She replies. Derek turns around to look at us while we stand up. "Where?" He didn't understood a thing of what Allison and I just spoke about. "Follow us" Allison says while she picks up her crossbow and makes her way towards the location.

The location is somewhere in the woods, but it's not very easy to find

The location is somewhere in the woods, but it's not very easy to find. Exactly what it wants. The moment we enter the cave, Derek holds me back knowing I'm in for a run to find Isaac. He covers his lips with his finger. I nod and turn my stare towards Allison who's exploring the place. We search for a sign of the Wendigo or any of the victims, but there's no one there. My hands are tangled into my hair and I'm biting my lip. Allison walks over to me and gives me a bit of a sad smile. "I really thought he'd be here..." I sit down on the ground and lean against the cold, stone wall. "So did I" Allison replies and slides down next to me. Derek walks over to me. "We'll find him" he promises me. "Let's continue" Allison stands up and pulls me up with her. I smile at her and glaze over to the back of the cave. The back of the cave looks like a black and empty hole, but after a moment of staring I notice a figure standing out and so does Derek. Derek immediately gets his claws out and growls. Another growl quickly adds Derek's growl. "Find Isaac" Scott commands us with a tough voice, after he's joined the search. Derek and Scott both make their way towards the Wendigo, trying to make it leave the cave.

Stiles, Lydia and I run over towards the back of the cave to find out where the Wendigo came from, but it's a dead end. We take a moment to think about the fact that the Wendigo appeared out of nowhere, but Lydia harshly disturbs our thoughts by pushing us aside. Lydia touches the wall and when she has found the right spot she takes a step back and sighs. "Wh- what are you doing?" Stiles raises his eyebrows. I hush him and focus on Lydia. Lydia takes a moment and then she uses her power, her voice. She screams.

Lydia broke the wall by using her voice just like the Wendigo uses its strength to push open the wall which seemed to be a hidden door. I quickly make my way to the other room to find a lot of body's hanging around. Bones, skulls and half-eaten body's. Some of the body's are still fresh. Stiles and Lydia stand next to me, but the moment Stiles realizes what's hanging in front of him he almost faints. Lydia and I take a look around, but Lydia gets yelled back by Scott. They're having trouble fighting the creature and they really need Lydia to hold it away from the cave. I continue searching for Isaac on my own. Stiles couldn't handle it so he went back to search somewhere else around the cave. Too much blood for him. I find some of the victims of today, but sadly there isn't much left of them. Knowing that Isaac was one of them really sickens me. My eyes start to fill up with tears at the sight of the dead body's hanging around. I stare at the bones laying on the ground and without noticing I bump into a dead body. Letting out a soft "oh my god" I turn around to make my way out, but before I do someone calls out for me. A soft, weak voice is whispering my name.
