Enaeh was panicking.

She had no clue what to do next. 

"Okay, so he can't stay here..."

Enaeh started talking to herself.

"I could take him to the border of the clan, at the edge of the woods..."

 She continued.

"En...Enaeh..."

Scar whispered.

"Don't hurt yourself trying to talk."

Enaeh shushed him.

"Listen...to me."

Scar pleaded.

"Okay..."

Enaeh waited for him to respond.

"Don't go... into the woods. There are... cameras... everywhere."

Scar told her in between shaky breaths.

"Oh right. I forgot about that. There are cameras rigged up everywhere.  No where is safe."

Enaeh frowned. What could she do?

"Here is."

Enaeh looked at Scar, puzzled by his words.

"What do you mean?"

She questioned.

"There are... no cameras... in here."

Scar explained, before trying to sit up.

Enaeh helped him to lean against a wall.

"Scar, you are a genius!"

Enaeh smiled.

"Course I am."

Scar chuckled softly. 

Enaeh looked around the room, trying to think of what she could do. 

She finally thought of something. 

She smiled, looking to Scar, about to say her plan.

And then the reality of her plan dawned on her.

She burst out into tears, and held onto Scar for dear life.

"Enaeh... it's going to be alright. I'm here with you..."

Scar comforted.

"It w-won't be alright... Scar... y-you can't stay here..."

Enaeh managed to say through her tears. 

"I know..."

He nodded.

"No! Scar, y-you don't! You have to hide! Forever! And I... I will never see you again..."

Enaeh yelled, tears rolling down her face, as she leaned out of the hug.

"No... you...you're coming with me!"

Scar shook his head, trying to get the image of him never seeing her again out of his mind.

"I can't... I have to stay here."

"NO! YOU CAN'T! I NEED YOU!"

Scar screamed, tears rolling down his cheeks.

"I don't want to stay anymore than you want me to... but you'll be safer without me..."

Enaeh wiped her eyes, and held onto Scar's hand.

"No... I'll be safer with you. Please... If you stay here, I will come back for you..."
