"Here." Liam yelled making Scott, Lori, Malia and Harlow run over to where he was at a tree that had an arrow sticking out of it, on the ground was Brett's phone. "I think he set a trap." Liam said and Harlow nodded slightly as she glanced around, "He's fighting back." She said.

"And now we know he's alive." Malia said and Lori walked over and ripped the arrow out the tree, "But he's still hurt. We need to find him- he needs to know we're here." She said. She turned around and went to let out a roar but Malia quickly stopped her, "You want the Hunter to know we're here, too?" She asked and Liam shook his head slightly.

"He's new. We can take him." He said and Malia raised her eyebrows, "And what if Brett howls back? He'll lead the Hunter right to him." Malia said and Scott shook his head slightly. "No, we could find him first. There's no human that can track sounds faster than we can, and we're got the advantage. We've done this before. We know what we're doing, guys." Scott said as Liam grabbed the arrow.

"How come I can't catch his scent?" Malia asked, "He's masking it." Lori said making sigh. "Can someone tell him not to?" She asked and before anyone could say anything Liam spoke up. "He went this way." Liam said and then him and Lori instantly took off.

Harlow sighed before turning to Malia and Scott, "Does no one else see how dangerous this is? His trap didn't work." She said and Scott sighed. "Maybe this Hunter is not much an amateur." Scott said and Malia looked at them, "Or maybe he's learning."

"The trail's gone." Malia said a few minutes after they caught up to Liam and Lori, "Uh, maybe he just stopped bleeding?" Scott suggested. "I think we should split up. Lori and I go this way, you guys go that way." Liam said making them look at him, "Or maybe we go in four directions?" Lori said and Malia and Harlow shook their heads.

"We should stick together." Harlow said, "We have the advantage. It's five against one." Liam said and Malia shook her head slightly. "Not if we split up." Malia said, "I've been doing this the past three months without your help. I think I can make a decision." Liam said and Malia scoffed and shook her head. "Well, if you're deciding to do something stupid and die, then go ahead." Malia said sarcastically.

"It's one Hunter- one amateur- who doesn't know what they're doing." Liam said and Harlow nodded, "Which means their only plan is shoot to kill because that's their best chance at survival." She said and Liam went to argue but she just gave him a look before turning to Scott. "Scott?" Malia asked as they turned to Scott.

He glanced up at them before looking back down at the ground and moving some leaves away to show foot prints. "The Hunter. He's covering his tracks." Liam said and Scott looked up, "There's another." He said and Malia raised her eyebrows. "Two of them?" She asked and Harlow sighed, "Maybe more." She said and Scott nodded.
