After Derek had quickly pulled on his shirt and leather jacket, Scott led us out of our holding cell. Derek leaned against me and had a shaky hand on Scott's shoulder. He was surprisingly weaker than I was. But then again, I was running on nothing but pure adrenaline, the high could drop any minute. And I'd let it, just as long as we got out of here. The dark corridor that had led us to our torture chamber led us to a small pair of stone steps, worn with age. I adjusted my position as I held up Derek's waist. I could feel the cold, hard skin under his shirt and it made the hairs on my neck stand up. I missed that. I missed him. We managed to climb the stairs and out into the free world, walking through the crunching leaves. This place was to familiar, and then I realized we were at the Hale house. Correction, we had been under the Hale house. That's where we had been taken hostage and tortured. His own house. Derek's arm slipped off Scott's shoulder and he walked from my grip, stopping in front of me. His breathing was labored.

"Hold on. Hold on." He wheezed. Once he caught his breath, he looked around suspiciously but soon began panting again. "Something doesn't feel right." My eyes flickered from both boys.

"What do you mean?" I wondered, the nervousness creeping up on me. My heart continued to pump fast, scared about being close to where Kate could be.

"I don't know, it's kind of like it was—"

"No, no! Don't say to easy! People say to easy and bad things happen!" Derek and I rolled our eyes at my best friend. "You think finding you two was easy? Getting away from Allison's dad? None of this has been easy!"

"Fine," Derek sighed after thinking about it for a second, "you're right." He seemed to finally catch his breath. Before we could say another word, I could catch the sound of a trigger realizing and something cutting through the air. I felt the impact of the object before I felt it, the stinging pain my lower shoulder. The impact was so hard it jerked me forward. Derek and Scott looked to me with wide, terror filled, eyes

"Katherine!" Scott yelled. I couldn't breathe; my air supply had been cut off. I gasped for air and fell to the floor, leaves smashing under my body. I heard the noise again, something sliced through the air. Derek groaned out in pain and he was next to join me on the ground. I could see him trying to get up to help me but he fell down again as an arrow hit him in the shoulder. Scott was a hazy blur to me but his focus seemed to be mesmerized by something.

"Scott your eyes!" Derek yelled. There was a big flash of light. Sparks danced to the ground, unlike Scott who landed with a loud thump. I reached my arm back and pulled out whatever was in my lower shoulder. A thin arrow, fresh out of the flesh of my back, was clasped in my hand. I tossed it to the side without another care. Derek yelled out in pain as he pulled two thicker arrows out of his leg and shoulder. He scurried to stand and grabbed me by my upper arm, dragging me up. A familiar voice wafted in the air: Kate. I couldn't make out her whispers, but I could tell they were directed to someone. She had someone with her. The adrenaline rush kicked back in. As we hurried, I was trying to hold up a limping Derek , who was pulling Scott along. We failed, and we all soon fell to the floor. Scott continued to scoot away to safety but his attention was focused on something else.
