Niall and Anna had been sitting under the same shade all day talking and enjoying each others company. Louis and Harry had ended up taking a walk together, hand-in-hand. Liam couldn't get over how cute they were together, no matter how frustrating those two can be at times. Harry and Louis have barely hung around the group since they've arrived here a couple days ago. They wanted to take the opportunity to actually be alone together for awhile before having to go back into public; hiding their secret relationship. Every Dicrectioner knew they were in a relationship, but they just didn't want to go public. They know a few people would make a bigger deal out of it then they should. Its not easy keeping their relationship hidden like this, but they made it work somehow. Liam admired that about them.

Zayn and Liam were now on the front porch of the cabin watching Niall and Anna chasing after each other. It all started when Anna jokingly offended him, and he pretended to be hurt and threw a handful of leafs at her, that he had found on the ground. Anna squealed as she got up and threw leafs right back at him. He then stood up and started chasing her. It's been going on for a while now, but it was fun to watch Niall or Anna trip over a stick every now and then. But whenever one of them at had fell, Liam would scold them and tell them "I told you so."

Lately Zayn hasn't been himself since they came to the cabin. He would normally be very protective and would care for Anna, but since they've been to the cabin he hasn't but secretly lust after her, and everything cute she did; he just wanted to punch her. Of course he would restrain himself. He didn't know if it was the atmosphere of this place or he is just realizing how sexy and annoying Anna really is. "I'll be back" Zayn said to Liam before he stood up. He flicked the remaining of his cigaret into the grass and walked off, while running his fingers through his 6cm hair.

Later on that night, everybody had gathered around inside because it was getting dark. The group was running low on food now, and it doesn't help that Niall has ate 80% of their supplies. During the time that Harry was complaining to Liam about Niall's eating habits, Anna had noticed Zayn wasn't around much today. "Umm..Li?" Anna spoke. Liam hadn't heard her over Niall complaining about Harry complaining. "Liam?" Anna spoke up a little louder. Again, nobody heard her. Annabelle gave up and realized there was no use. Anna went over to the door and slipped on her shoes. She quietly walked out of the cabin. It frustrated her how they probably wouldn't even notice that she was gone. Honestly, Anna had no idea where she was going. She didn't even know if Zayn could be out here.

Anna walked and walked and walked. She thought there was no end. Annabelle had no idea where she was right now. She stopped dead on her tracks when she heard a stick snap in front of her. "Z-Zayn...?" Anna cried out into the darkness. It was so dark she could barely see her hand in front of her face. Its one thing to be alone in the dark. It's another thing when you know you're not alone. Not being able to see who or what was in front of her frightened the hell out of her. "Zayn, if that's you..please say something.." she pleaded into the darkness.

Zayn stepped out of the bathroom while towel-drying his hair. He grinned a little when he saw his friends arguing over something. He just shook his hair and flicked it to the side for now. He walked over to his bag to grab his clothes and hair products. As Zayn was searching through his bag, Harry accidentally tripped over his own feet and landed on Zayn, causing him to spill everything out of his bag. Zayn got frustrated and thought Harry purposely did it.

As Harry and Zayn started to brawl, Niall looked over in that direction and noticed the cabin door wide open. Niall's thoughts raced as he frantically looked around the cabin. His heart dropped when he noticed Anna was gone. "Shit!" Niall yelled as he ran out of the cabin. He didn't even bother putting his shoes on. All he was focused on was finding Anna and getting her back safely.

A shaped stepped out into the little glimmer of moonlight. Anna remembered the dark figure. Images flashed back into her head. It was him. The creepy hunter from the small shop just a few miles up the road. The creepy hunter that kept checking her out.

Anna grew scared once she realized who it was. She took a small step backwards, and then started sprinting in the other direction. Anna stopped running when she heard yelling. "Anna!"

She swirled around in her now standing point, trying to pin-point where the yelling was coming from. She recognized that voice anywhere, "Niall?" she called out to no where. Anna took a step forward only to get hit with agonizing pain. The pain shot up her leg. It took her a little while to realizing what just happened, before she could even move. Anna immediately fell to the ground, screaming in pain.

Anna looked down at her leg and saw her foot was caught in a bear trap. Blood was slowly oozing out of her left leg. She clasped both hands one either side of the trap, trying to pry it open with her hands. Anna screamed out in pain. No luck. The trap as cut really deep into her skin and bones.
