"Morning" Ashton groaned, stretching his arms out.

"Morning Ash, morning guys" Michael groaned soon afterwards, squinting his eyes.

Alice had deep violet bags under her eyes from the deprivation of sleep. She had a thought at the back of her mind that the person who saved them might've come back to finish them all after they had fallen asleep. She was beginning to gain trust with the woman, or whatever she was. But, she was scared for her wellbeing and her friends, too.

"Morning babe" Calum spoke to Alice, pecking her cheek.

"Goodmorning" she sighed, wriggling deeper on his body.

"You alright?" He asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine" she lied in response.

"Alright" Calum spoke.

Short moments of silence passed, and the rest of the group members were gradually all waking up. They all greeted each other with a hug, even though nothing could be seen.

Then, the door creaked open.

"Morning. Did you all sleep well?" The voice asked.

"Yeah" Joy spoke.

Joy was excited to see Luke. She had gone into a state of insanity and craze after seeing him 'dead'. She was too joyous to fall asleep, but she did need the much awaited rest.

"I have some water and food for you all" the voice spoke, laying food and bottles out on the ground.

"Thank you so much for all this" Sydney began.

"It's alright" she laughed in response.

They scoffed the food down, eating every single crumb with pleasure and slurping down every single drop of water in each of the bottles. They all felt much more energised, eager to head out of the small hut and to be reunited with their friends.

"Let's go" the voice spoke.

They all sneaked out, trying their hardest to stay quiet, incase they were caught by the actual killer.

"They are in the hut ahead" the voice spoke.

"How do you know and how can you see?" Calum asked.

"I found them in it yesterday, and I've been in this forest for years, I know every single inch of it" she spoke.

The group headed into the group, only to be welcomed with two voices hushing each other.

"Luke?" Joy spoke up, waiting for a response.

"Joy?!" Luke whisper yelled, standing up.

He ran in the direction of her voice, embracing her delicate body against his own.

"I can't believe it's you. You're alive" she sighed, letting a tear fall.

"I'm lucky. How have you been?" He asked.

"Good, you?" She responded.

They continued to chat, while Ashton chatted to Emma. Joy was relieved her boyfriend was alive, Ashton was glad his girlfriend was alive, and the whole group was glad that none of them were actually dead.

"We're going to try to find a way out, okay? It's hard though. Once you're in, it's hard to get out" the voice interrupted.

"Sounds good, we should all split up" Ashton suggested.

The group all split up, no one accompaning one another, which was a big mistake.

"After roughly an hour, meet back here, every single one of you. Stay out of trouble, alright? Find ways we can escape, and we will discuss them when we get back" the voice spoke.

They all mumbled a yes, before heading off in different directions.

It's freezing, Calum thought.

I wish someone came with me, rather than going alone, Luke thought.

I can't believe Emma is alive, Michael thought.

"It's cold" Joy complained, talking to no one in particular, because the group had all split up, trying to find someway to get out.

"Here, take my jacket" a familiar, high pitched voice spoke, sending shocks down Joy's spine.

Then, a gun shot was heard.
