Tyler's POV

3 years later...

I ran through the woods, sweat pouring down the sides of my face like running water.

I have to get out of here.

I need to get away from them, warn the others. They're not safe there, I must warn the others.

"Tyler" I heard him say in a teasing tone. "Where are you?"

I tripped over a fallen tree hitting my head on a rock. A jolt of pain ran through me as I felt the hot blood begin to drip down my forehead.

"What's that saying?" His voice echoed all around me. "You can run but you can't hide!"

I must warn the others!

I got up wiping the blood, ignoring the pain as I began running again. My feet were bare and I knew a few of my wounds were infected but my only concern right now was getting out of here alive.

I ducked under some low trees stepping over the broken branches and rocks on the ground, stopping to look for a way out.

It was pitch black, the only light I had was from the full moon and that wasn't much help.

"Tyler!" His tone was becoming impatient. I heard foot steps and the sounds of dogs barking. Shit!

Where do I go? Where do I go?

I was running out of time! I just took off into a random direction. There was no way I was getting out of these woods alive....

I contemplated climbing a tree but that would only trap me. The ground started to feel squishy and I thanked god. Mud!

I took some rubbing it on my clothes to mask my scent so the dogs couldn't find me.

If there's mud then theres a lake or river near here. I looked around squinting.

If it weren't for the barking I'd be able to hear the stream.

"Come on Tyler, I promise I won't kill ya" I heard him tease before I heard his laugh.

This man is insane!

I started running again stopping abruptly when I realized where I was, a cliff..

No, no, no. I have to do something, I need to do something!

When the barks were loud and clear I knew that it was over.

"Tyler." He smirked and I looked up at him defeated. "Did you think you could actually escape me?"

"You'll never get away with this" I said. "When they find out I'm dead they'll want answers. Ethan is gonna find out what you're up to and he will end you"

He walked up to me kicking my legs out from beneath me causing me to fall to the ground. I was weak due to blood loss, dehydration, and exhaustion. There was nothing I could do now...

"Don't worry your pretty little head about Ethan, I have him all taken care of" he grabbed me by my shirt walking me over to the ledge so I was dangling.

"I have no use for you anymore, but don't worry you'll finally be with that whore you're so obsessed with" he smiled and I spit in his face before he let me go.
