| Jen's POV |

"What do you mean think?"

Calum looks at Michael.

"Let's go find out."

Michael and Calum head for the door.

"Luke, shouldn't we take you to a hospital?"

Dried blood surrounds his nose.

I hear Calum scoff and mumble something under his breathe.

"I'll be fine, let's go."

He grabs my hand and leads me to the car.

Luke follows Michael's car and we pull up to the lake were I Saw the form.
Ashton's standing next to the tree line, out headlights giving him light.
I jump out.
"Where is she?"
He looks at me hesitantly, as I feel Luke wrap an arm around my waist.
"Jen, I think you and Calum should stay behind on this one."
I shake my head
"What? No, I'm coming with."
Luke lets go of me.
"Jen, maybe you should stay with Calum."
There's something eyes I can't quite make out.
I feel Calum stand next to me.
"Stay in the car."
He tosses us the keys and walks into the woods.
| Luke's POV |
God did I hate having to leave her with him.
"Where exactly are we going Ashton?"
Michael asks.
"Luke, did you dad ever tell you about a second lab?"
I stop walking.
"A second what?"
"Keep walking."
We travel about another 500 yards, until we all stop.
Emily's body is on the ground, torn to pieces.
I almost throw up.
"Oh god."
"That's not all."
He moves some fallen leaves and there's a door.
"What the hell?"
We all gather around it.
"I was looking and it's been busted open, the locks are broken and there's a dent in the door."
He shines his flashlight on it.
"So something got out?"
"Are you suggesting that thing killed Emily?"
I look between the two of them.
"Luke, I don't know but, whatever it is, it's out there."
I shine my flashlight on the ground and notice foot prints, leading back the way we came.
Jen.
"We need to get back to the cars now."
"What why?"
I nod my head to the foot prints.
"Go!"
| Jen's POV |
We sit in silence for a little bit.
"Calum I'm sorry about-"
"It's okay, I should've, I should've saved her."
I give him a sad smile.
And look out the window.
I gasp.
There's another form.
"C-Calum."
He shoots his head up.
"What's wrong?"
He looks out my window.
"Holy fuck."
It starts to move.
"Start the car!"
I turn the key but nothing happens.
"Jen start the car!"
"I'm trying! It won't turn on!"
I turn the key again, nothing.
It gets closer and closer.
I see a limb missing and a knife in its hand.
Stitches and scars marking its body.
"What are we going to do!?"
"Stay still."
I look at him.
"What?"
"Maybe it can't see that well? Just don't move."
I keep my head forward, sensing it nearing my window.
Calum's looking at me.
His eyes growing wider.
I turn my head slowly.
Revealing the creatures face up against the glass.
I take a shaky breathe.
Watching it look at me.
It slaps the window.
