The small group wakes up very early. Lauren was talking to Jack and Nikki. "So are you guys a couple?" Lauren asks. John and Nikki laugh. "No way." Jack says as Nikki continues to giggle. Lauren smiles. She ships them. "Were gonna be late." Austin says as he walks out the door. Lauren follows him. "I heard you and Melanie talking for a long time last night." Lauren says and smirks. Austin groans. "Oh just shut up." He replies and Lauren laughs. Mike comes out and pecks Lauren's cheek. "Let's go." He says. The group all walk through the forest happily.
It's pretty dark now. The group gets more tired with every step. "Well obviously they aren't there yet. They must be really close though." Austin says. "Yeah so we'll walk in the morning." Mike says. The group sleeps and leaves Mike and Austin to watch.
They get up and talk for a while. Then they start walking. Laughter was flowing through the forest. Smiles were on each persons face. They walked on and on. Everyone felt truly happy. They told stories and everything was going great.

"Please just agree." Tracey said. She was face to face with Eli. Zach was right next to her. Eli seemed to be thinking really hard. Tracey took a deep breath. "Fine." He finally said. Tracey, Zach, Juliet, and Korey seemed relieved. "Okay." Tracey said. Eli glared at her. "I'll be at your place in a week. Every week for the next three months." He said. The group nodded. "Fine." Tracey said. She was about to turn around when Eli grabbed her by her neck and pointed a gun to her chin. He pulled the trigger and Tracey's head bounced back and he lowered her to the floor. Zach screamed and Juliet and Korey gasped. Zach's eyes filled with tears. "Why?" Juliet whimpered. "You people killed some of mine. It's only fair." Eli said as he walked out the door followed by his group. Zach sobbed and then picked up his dead lover.
Juliet grabbed Korey's hand and they walked out together. Zach followed as he cried silently.
Melanie, Jack, and Nikki stay on the other side of the fence just to be safe. Lauren hold her gun in her hand ready to fire just in case. Tracey and the others should be out any time now. Melanie, Jack, and Nikki climbed the fence but stay far behind the others. Lauren smiles at the thought of seeing her sister soon.
They walk forward as Eli and his group step out and walk past them. Soon.
