"Is this a good idea, bro?" Elton whispered in his ear as they all climbed into Colby's car.

Jake and Tara were no where to be seen, though Colby noticed that Jake's car was gone and assumed that they can gone off to talk at the Trap House. Corey was in the backseat of Colby's car, cramped between Elton and Aaron. Sam was beside Colby, snoring loudly against the window. Colby could see that the fog appear on the window each time Sam breathed against it.

They were following a small green car that Axelle was driving away from the club and to her sister. Colby was confused as to why they to go see Axelle's sister. She didn't even answer Colby's question about who Luna was. But, Colby had a feeling about this all... that they would finally get their answers.

"No idea, dude," Colby replied to Elton's question and the Beta leaned back in his seat behind Colby.

Then, they made a turn and Corey made a noise of surprise and fear in the backseat. Colby knew what Corey was responding to for they had turned onto a dirt road. The same dirt road that led to the Witches Forest. His fingers white knuckled the steering wheel.

"I wanna turn around," Corey peeped from the backseat.

Colby ignored him, as the voices in his head started to speak very loudly. A cloud seemed to form over his mind and all Colby could think about was that night and how much of it was completely his fault. He could feel his scars on his body tingle as his nerves remembered the pain of claws and teeth penetrating his skin.

"I wanna turn around, now, COLBY!" Corey yelled.

Colby looked up at the rearview mirror and watched as Elton wrapped his arms around Corey's shaking figure, soothing the Omega with soft words that Colby couldn't hear. He moved his gaze to Aaron's, who was staring at him with wide eyes. Colby pulled his gaze away and back on the road.

Then they made another turn. If they had gone right, they would have gone toward the trailhead to where they had camped that night. But, they went left, toward where more of the houses were. Colby felt himself relax just a little bit, knowing they weren't going to the right.

He looked to his right. His eyes traced Sam's figure, who was still sound asleep in the front seat. Colby wanted him awake for whatever was going to happen next. No, Colby needed him to be awake. Reaching over, Colby shook Sam. His gaze fell back on the road and then back to Sam and then back to the road. Sam's breathing hitched for a moment before his eyes opened up slowly and raising his head from the window. A red spot appeared on the side of Sam's face from where he had been leaning against the glass.

"Where are we?" Sam spoke in a sleepy voice.

"We are going to see Axelle's sister," Colby replied.

"Mkay," Sam nodded before his gaze turned to the right, looking out the window at the forest around them, "Holy fuck!" Sam snapped his head to Colby, eyes wide with fear, "What the fuck, Colby!"

"It's okay," Colby soothed him, reaching out to grasp Sam's hand tightly in his own, "It's okay, Sam."

"Why the fuck are we here, Colby?" Sam yelled back at him, eyes darting between Colby's face and the slowly darkening forest outside the car.

Colby really didn't like how the sun was setting on them. It would mean that they would have to drive back to the Trap House through the Witches Forest at night. Fear was settling into Colby's body at that thought.

"Going to see Axelle's sister, as I said," Colby repeated.

"Why?"

Sam was asleep during the time Axelle had been explaining everything, so Colby couldn't blame him, "She's an Omega, Sam. She said she could help us."
