Hazel flinched as she felt the hand on her shoulder. Squeezing her eyes shut tightly, she said one last time.

"I never wanted this. Please don't do it..."

The hand left her shoulder, and curious, she looked up. Kayla was standing next to her, hand having just been pulled away. Adam had left Parker's shoulder, and was walking towards Hazel. Still afraid, she tensed up, ready to run again if she had to, but then, he spoke.

"Hazel, we're alive. It's okay now." Adam said.

"Yeah Hazel," Kayla said, reaching out a hand to help her up. "We're all okay. No one's going to hurt you."

Hazel took Kayla's hand, and stood, relief masking her former terror. Then, she smiled wide, and brought both Kayla, Adam, and Claire who was unfortunately standing close enough, into a hug. She looked like she was about to cry again.

"I thought I'd actually killed my friends... but... you guys are alright!"

It was at that moment, that the light hit them. It was bright, and almost blinding as the door opened. The other side, flooded the black space with light, and everyone had to blink in an attempt to see. Hazel let go of her friends, turning in the opening door's direction. As the friends watched, five people stepped out. One of them was clapping.

"Ah, what a dramatic story! So beautiful to watch! I might even have a few ships up my sleeve!"

Standing before four burly men, was another male dressed in a white tuxedo and wearing white gloves to match. He was smiling wide, and as Hazel saw him, she felt both anger and fear building up inside. He brushed back his dark brown hair, before pointing a finger at one of the friends. One man turned straight to face Tom, and began walking quickly towards him.

"Wha..!" Tom was grabbed by the arm, as well as Skye who stood beside him. She yelped and Hazel felt the anger growing stronger. Parker, still being a lycanthorope, lunged towards him as he pulled the two away. As he did so, the others moved quickly towards the other friends, one heading after Parker and tackling him. Claire and Kayla were both grabbed together, Kayla putting up quite the fight.

As Hazel realized what was happening, her instincts took over. Adam being the only one left, she shouted run to him, and shoved him backwards, before yelling at the two remaining guards and running the other way. Her efforts did not succeed however, and as she was taken down by one, the other managed to get ahold of Adam. Helplessly squirming, Hazel was forced to comply with the guard as she and all her friends were dragged off into the unknown white light.
