Clove couldn't help but let out a small chuckle as she heard El tell Mike she makes her own rules. When the brunette excited, she smiled at Clove as they walked off together.

"What was his face like?" Clove laughed as El looked to her and mimicked a weird look that Clove has definitely seen on Mikes face before

"I'm proud of you El, holding your ground. Being strong and independent" Clove said as El smiled

"Thanks Clove" she smiled as Clove smiled too. The two held eye contact for a moment as Clove blinked quickly

"Max." she suddenly said it, causing El to frown her eyebrows

"Max?" she asked her confused as Clove hummed

"I mean... she says you guys are getting close. I'm really glad, um, I'm glad you guys are friends" Clove said as El blinked at her sudden out burst

"Oh, right" El said as she gave another odd look

"We should go" Clove said as she walked forward

"Clove" El said from behind her as Clove turned to look at her

"Yeah?" she asked as El tilted her head

"Is something wrong?" she asked as the brunette shook her head

"What? No! No nothing is wrong, what would be wrong? I'm perfect fine, does something seem-" Clove began to ramble but was cut off by El wrapping her arms around her shoulders and giving her a hug. Clove shut her eyes in defeat as she gave in a hugged her back

After locking the door and setting up the CPR doll with a walkie connected to it, the party all hide. Billy began yelling and trying to find whoever was in the locker room with him. He swung the sauna room door open and frowned in confusion when he saw the walkie attached to the dummy

"Behind you" Mikes voice came through the speaker as Billy turned around quickly and saw El standing there

"Hi" she said while swinging her head up and pushing him into the back wall

"Now!" Mike yelled as they all ran out of hiding as Clove put a pole on the door so he couldn't get out while Will did the chains and lock. When they were done, they all ran and stood beside El, watching the boy hit the door and tried to get out

"Max" Billy whispered as he saw his step sister standing there. Clove looked back at her while Max took a deep breath

"Do it" she said as Will sprung forward and turned the sauna heat on

"Let me out of here!" He shouted as it began to heat up. Max wrapped her hand around Cloves as the youngest Reyes could see she was getting upset

"You kids think this is funny? You kids think this is some kind of sick prank huh? You little shits think this is funny? Open the door" Billy said to them with a glare as Max shared a uneasy look with El, glanced back at Clove who seemed a bit frightened

"Open the door!" he yelled while hitting the door, causing all of them to jump back

"We're at two twenty" Will said as he looked at the temperature

"Is that enough?" Clove questioned

"It should be" Will answered while they heard crying coming from inside the sauna.

"It's not my fault, it's not my fault Max. I promise you it's not my fault" Billy cried as Max walked closer to the door

"What's not your fault Billy?" she asked while looking through the small window at him

"I've done things Max, really bad things. I didn't mean too, he made me do it" Billy cried as Clove and Will looked at each other

"Who made you do it?" Max asked him

"It's like a shadow, a giant shadow. Please Max" Billy continues to cry as Cloves eyes widened as her mind when back to her dream

"Clove? What is it?" Lucas whispered to her but she just continues to slowly shake her head

"It's not my fault Max please" he cried while leaning onto one of the benches as Max began to cry

"It's gonna be okay" she tried to reassure him

"We want to help you, we do. You just have to talk to us okay? Just talk to us okay?" Max cried out while putting her hand on the glass as Clove suddenly felt a weird sensation in her arm

"Will" she said while looking over to see him touching the back of his neck

"I feel him" Will whispered as Mike then looked to Clove who nodded

"Max get away from the door" Mike said suddenly as the redhead looked back

"What?" she asked confused and teary eyed

"Get away from the door!" Mike yelled as the glass suddenly broke while Clove ran over and pulled her out of the way before Billy could reach her

"Let me out you bitch! Let me out!" Billy screamed while pulling half his body out of the small window as Lucas used his wrist rocket to shoot something at Billy's head, causing him to fall backwards

"Max! Clove c'mon!" He shouted while the two girls ran over as the group huddled together while the lights began to blink. Billy let out a animal noise as he pushed the door, causing it to wobble as El put her hands out infront of everyone.

"He can't get out, can he?" Max asked with wide eyes, watching the chains raddled more and more each time

"No way, no way" Lucas said in hope to reassure her along with himself before suddenly Billy crashed through the door as Clove screamed and they all backed up while Billy stood up and looked at them. Lucas pushed Max behind him as Clove stood protectively infront of Mike and Will, watching as El used her powers to lift a weight off the bar and throw it toward the older teen.

It threw him into the wall suddenly while El once again used her powers to push it onto him a bit harder against the brick wall. Billy began to push against it before suddenly throwing it across the room as El ducked down but it was no use considering Billy grabbed her and wrap his hands around her neck tightly. When he lifted her off the ground, El began to chock on her breathing before a pole hit him in the back of the head as he dropped her

"Don't you touch her again you piece of shit!" Clove shouted while she went to hit him with the pole again but his hand caught it as he began to walk toward Clove while she backed into the wall in fear. Billy was suddenly lifted into the air with a yell as El held him in the air with all her strength while she walked to stand infront of Clove. El screamed again as she threw Billy across the room, making him crash through the brick walls and land with a thud on the other side.

El feel backwards as she cried, Clove caught her and lowered the two on the ground while hugging her tightly. El leaning back into Clove as the girl tried her hardest to comfort het. Mike ran over quickly and grabbed El's hands to try and calm her down before he helped her up along with Clove. Max ran to Clove and wrapped her in a tight hug as Clove did the same back before they turned and saw the spot Billy had landed in was empty while he ran off
