Niall thought he had heard the screams of Anna. He stopped running for a bit. "Anna?" he cried out into the darkness. Everything was silent for awhile. He heard the screams once more. Niall's heart raced thinking the worst possible. He ran towards the screams, dodging tree branches alone the way.

The more he ran, the more Niall knew Anna was close by. He could hear her crying and screaming more clearly then before. It was too dark to even see where she was. She could be anywhere. When he heard her speak he knew for a fact he was closer than he had thought. "H-Help..!" he cried out louder. Niall turned his head, slowly stepping closer to the sound. As he stepped closer he was able to Anna on the forest floor, trapped. "Oh God!" said as he quickly hurried over to her.

He kneeled down on his knee's to get a better look at her. He cupped her face in his hands. "Are you alright?" he asked her worried. Anna shook her head, "my l-leg.." she sobbed out. Niall took a look at her leg. He was able to see how deep the trap had cut into her leg.

Niall truly had no idea what he was doing. His whole body just kicked into an adrenaline mode. His whole mind was completely blank. "Take a deep breath, and be strong for me okay?" Anna nodded and did exactly what he said. Niall firmly grasped his hands on the trap and pried it open. Anna screamed out from the pain. The sharp blades on the trap were cutting into her tissues. As soon as the trap was out of her leg, more blood came rushing out of her wide wounds. Niall ripped off his shirt and wrapped it tightly around her sore leg, trying to stop the blood from flowing out.

When Niall had done that, Liam and the others had ran up behind him. They were able to hear her screams from the cabin. Liam looked down at Anna in shock and in frustration. He felt bad he wasn't there for Anna when she needed him. Liam was more angry at himself then anything. He cursed underneath his breath, which was unlike him. Liam bent over and picked up Anna bridal style. She groaned out from the pain, but she clanged onto Liam with her life. Liam started walking down the closest narrow path he could find, Niall following closely behind.

"Where are you going?" Zayn yelled after them. "We need to get her to the hospital" Liam said in an angry tone. "Liam, we're miles away just from the van itself" Harry spoke up. "Yeah man, its gonna take us a couple hours just to get there" Zayn finished for him. Liam stopped on his tracks and pondered in thought. He knew his friends were right, but he didn't want to risk anything. "You're risking her life more if you go, man" Louis finally spoke. Niall turned to face the guys starting to agree with them. "They're right, Li. We can't see anything during this hour" he said. Liam nodded, and shifted his weight, holding onto Anna tighter. "Ok, but we're living early in the morning." Liam finally caved in. He knew they were right. Liam quickly changed his direction. "Can you use the flashlight, Lou to lead us back?" He questioned. Louis just nodded, and used the flashlight to guide the whole group back to the cabin.

When the group finally reached the cabin, Liam and Anna were the first ones to enter. He laid her down on the couch, causing Anna to groan. She rested her head on the arm of the couch. She was loosing a lot of blood and she was getting weak. Anna closed her eyes, trying her best to control her emotions. Liam unwrapped Niall's now bloody shirt from her leg. "Harry can you grab my backpack from the back?" Harry quickly ran into the back of the cabin to grab Liams sack, his hair flopping with every step he took.

Niall was a nervous wreck, so he was snacking on a granola bar he found in the snack bag. Louis and Zayn both sat on the floor and watched the three boys. Harry came running back into the room with the bag. "Here Li" he said handing the bag to him. Liam had his hands full and couldn't reach into it. "Could you reach into the front pocket and grab my first aid kit?" Harry did as he was told and handed the kit to Liam.

Liam opened it up and took out some Rubbing Alcohol, a safety pin, gauze, and cotton swabs. Anna was oblivious to her surroundings. All she knew was that she just wanted to sleep. Just as she was about to drift off, she felt a burning sensation on her leg, where he wound was. She quickly shot up on the couch and screamed out. "Fuck!" she yelled and grabbed her leg. Anna looked down and saw that Liam had the Rubbing Alcohol in his hand and was pouring it over her leg. "Liam! Couldn't you've warned me first?!" she yelled at him.

Liam didn't respond. He was too focus on her wound. A shirtless Niall came over and sat behind her, supporting her from behind. He held her on his lap, and let her bite and claw at him the more Liam continued his procedure.

After an hour on working on Anna's leg, Liam had her all stitched up. Louis looked at Liam amazed. "Where did you learn how to do that?!" He said in a high squeaky voice. Liam stayed quiet as he put his first aid back into order. "Your mom" he said in all seriousness. Louis felt a little stupid afterwards. "Your mom never taught you that, Lou?" Zayn questioned as he looked at Louis. Louis nodded his head, "I know how, I just didnt think Liam knew..." he said. Liam smiled a little, throwing the first aid back into his backpack. He looked back at Anna, who appeared to have fallen asleep on Niall's lap.
