"You gonna drag me to work every night?" Hayden asks Val with an annoyed tone laced in her voice. "If I have to." Val says to her. "You can't keep an eye on me 24/7." Hayden tries to argue. "You disappeared for three days. I'm keeping an eye on you for the rest of your natural born life." Val argues back. "I told you I was with Liam." Hayden tells her which makes Val laugh.

"Which doesn't improve your argument. Maybe you think you can do your own thing now. I don't care. You still need me. We look out for each other, remember? For all I know, you could have been dead." Val tells her making Hayden stiffen. "Stay here." Val tells her as she gets out of the car and walks into the communication towers.

Hayden stood alone for awhile until she heard something behind her, which turned out to be a concerned Liam. "What are you doing here?" She asks him as she crosses her arms. "I sent you like 100 texts." Liam tells her.

"I saw."

"You saw? That's it? How could you not tell me that you're alive? That Jules was alive?" Liam tells her as he feels his anger rising. "Maybe because you left us for dead." Hayden says annoyed. "You were dead." Liam argues making Hayden scoff. "Liam, you need to go." Hayden tells him before being interrupted by a noise that came from the communication towers. Both teens turning to see a giant beast standing a few feat away from them. "What the hell is that?" Hayden asks Liam as the beast approaches them. "Run. Hayden, run!" Liam says as he grabs her hand making them run through the forest.

"What is that thing?" She asks as they run faster by the minute. "I don't know! Just run!" Liam tells her as they reach a cliff. "Jump." He tells her. "Are you kidding?" Hayden asks looking back to see the beast coming closer and closer. "We can make it. Come on." Liam says, the two teens jumping, both of them feelings the air beneath their feet as Hayden lands in the other side with Liam hanging on the ledge. "See, I told you." Liam tells her as the beast watches them. "Do you trust me?" Liam asks her.

"What? No."

Hayden didn't get a chance to argue as Liam grabs her arms and pulls her down making both teens fall down the cliff. Liam landing on his back as Hayden lands on top of him. She sees his eyes closed and decides to check if he's okay before leaving him. "What are you doing?" Liam asks her finally waking up. "Making sure you're alive." Hayden tells him. "Oh, I can't move my legs. Argh, I think my back's broken." Liam says feeling the pain in his back

"Will it heal?" Hayden asks him as she was in a hurry to get back to Val. "Eventually. I think." Liam tells her as he continues to feel the pain. "Good." Hayden says to him as she begins to walk away. "Whoa! Where are you going?" Liam asks her as he tries to move. "To find my sister and make sure she's okay." Hayden says in a 'duh' tone. "You're going to just leave me here?" Liam asks in disbelief. "You pulled me off a cliff. I'm lucky I healed." Hayden says back to him.

"If you're gonna leave me here then at least tell me what's wrong with Jules. Don't think I didn't notice the weird look she gave Brett the other night. It was like she didn't even recognize him." Liam says to her making freeze. "Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you." Hayden says to him. "Hey! you owe me. I saved your life." Liam yells at her as she begins to walk away. "This time." Hayden retaliates. "Who saved it last time?" Liam asks her.

"Theo."

It had been a few hours and Jules was left alone after Theo went to help Tracy with finishing off her Dad. She had climbed up onto a tree to look at the stars when she noticed Hayden walking through the woods. "I thought you were with Val?" Jules yells out catching Hayden's attention. "I got a little distracted." Hayden says back as she jumps up landing next to where Jules was sitting.
