...6 hours until dawn...

Maysilee and Mike hid behind a rock wall and watched the psycho. He had two wolves with him and was trolling the outside of the sanatorium. "Cmon let's follow them inside," Mike whispered to her. She nodded to him and Mike and Maysilee stood up and snuck behind the psycho. "Welcome to the great Sanatorium."

Maysilee rolled her eyes "Okay let's look around for anything useful." The two started walking, looking around carefully as they walked.

"So how have you been?" Mike asked, "We haven't talked much since, well you know..."

Maysilee nodded "Yeah, I've been alright, managing the best I can. Just like the rest of us." She countered.

"Yeah." He said, "This is all fucking insane. Like why does this person wanna kill us?"

"I don't know Mike, I wished I did." Maysilee admitted, "Do you think it has anything to do with what happened with Beth and Hannah last year?"

"Maybe, I think so yeah." Mike admitted, "Maybe the psycho killed them?"

"There missing Mike," She pointed out, "Not dead?"

"Do you think that Mace?" He questioned, "That they're alive. If they were don't you think there would be some evidence behind the fact they wouldn't be dead?"

"If they were dead don't you think the cops would have found a fucking body?" She snapped.

Mike stayed quiet for a moment, "Look Mace, I know you were close to the twins... I'm sorry..."

Maysilee sighed, a small frown forming on her face, "It was more than just being close Mike. Hannah was my best friend, my first ever friend, without her I wouldn't have met you or anyone else in the group... and Beth she was- well she was..." Maysilee mumbled quietly then shook her head, "Nevermind."

"No Maysie, Beth was what?" Mike asked gently.

"I was in love with her, we kissed, she was my first kiss, two years ago. We never 'dated' but we kissed more than that one time. Hannah and Beth were the only ones who knew until tonight when I told Ashley and Chris in the heat of the moment. I thought I was gonna die... I didn't want the secret to die with me... and the twins. I'm not ashamed of it anymore, I might die tonight anyway..."

"Hey don't say that, you aren't gonna die, I promise. Do you like girls?" Mike asked.

"Not necessarily, I like everyone... if that makes sense. I haven't felt the way I felt with Beth in any other person besides one... and it's never gonna work out." Maysilee explained. Of course, she was talking about Mike. Beth and Mike were the only two Maysilee had ever truly had feelings for. "Enough about me, if you don't mind me asking what happened with Em?"

Mike sighed, "After the prank, last year, I guess we just split over that. I think it was best for both of us." He told.

Maysilee nodded "Yeah I guess so." She mumbled, "It's just, god that was such a bitchy thing we did last year, I feel so bad."

"Yeah me too..." Mike mumbled, "We took it too far, I realize that now." Maysilee nodded, they continued walking around "Ah-ha! Look at this beauty!" Mike exclaimed as he pulled a machete up into the air, "This will come in handy." He put the machete in his belt.

The two continued walking around until finally, they were able to get their hands on a security pass. After that, they continued walking. A dog jumped out at them making them both jump, frightened. "Hurry we gotta run!" Maysilee shouted and they both ran up a flight of stairs, Maysilee runs into a room and waited for Mike to rush in before she slammed the door on the dog. Maysilee took a long sigh of relief. "Shit shit shit shit!" Maysilee said, backing up into a wall. "There's another one Mike!"

Mike kneeled in front of the dog cautiously, "Hey buddy... we won't hurt you," Mike whispered and stuck his hand out for the dog to smell. The dog sniffed his hand before walking off. "Piece of cake."

Maysilee rolled her eyes and walked with him down into the dungeon. "Hey look now we have a dog in this place that won't try and attack us." Mike pointed out.

"Mhm." Maysilee teased, "Alright big guy how about you break this lock with the gun so we can keep going." She said as she tried pushing open a rusted locked door.

Mike nodded and moved a barrel out of the way and shot the lock, sparks flying towards the barrel and small flames started to rise.

"Shit! Take cover!" Maysilee yelled and dived to the ground as the barrel blew up. She didn't know if Mike made it, or if he got caught in the fire. She winced as the fire burnt her calf.

"Maysilee! Are you alright?" Mike yelled, with the voice that he was struggling.

"Yeah- yeah I'm fine." She mumbled as she sat up, coughing from the smoke. "Shit. Mike..."

As the smoke cleared up they got a visible view of each other's faces. "What? What is it?"

"Nothing bad I just, burnt my leg in the explosion. No biggie." She said sarcastically "Look I'll just slow you down, you need to go. I'll head back to the lodge and tell them everything I know."

"Maysilee it's dangerous! To go out on your own. You said so yourself there's a psycho on this mountain. You could get killed." Mike clarified.

"Wouldn't be the first time tonight," Maysilee joked "I'll be fine I promise Mike."

Mike frowned "Maysie I still don't think you should do this..." He admitted.

Maysilee sighed "Mike, I don't wanna slow you down from getting justice for what the psycho did to Jessica and Josh."

Mike sighed "Fine but at least take the machete." He offered to passed it to her.

Maysilee took it, turning it over slightly "Okay... good luck. Um, don't die?" She questioned.

He chuckled and looked at her, a smile forming on his bloodied-up face. Maysilee gazed back into his chocolate eyes.

Neither of them knew what took over, but not even a second later there lips were touching. Mike placed his hand on her left cheek gently.
They both knew it wasn't the right time to be kissing, but neither of them pulled away.

Finally, after what felt like forever, Mike pulled away, looking at Maysilee. "I'll be fine alright?"

- flashback -

"You'll be fine alright?" Said a chuckling Chris, "We deserve a drink."

Maysilee rolled her eyes, of course, her fifteen-year-old self had never drank before. Chris was sixteen, not much older but he was also Josh's best friend which said a lot.

Two years ago, a lot happened. She drank for the first time in her life. Hooray! And she kissed Beth.

She took the beer from Chris "Fine," she mumbled "You idiot."

Chris raised an eyebrow at Maysilee, before taking a sip of his beer. Maysilee did the same, and that's how the night went. Drinking, talking with friends. Regular teenage things.

Maysilee passed out on the couch with Chris, and Mike was on the floor below them.

Maysilee woke up the Beth shaking her. "Maysie!" She whispered harshly "Wake up I heard someone! Someone outside."

Maysilee sat up, rubbing her eyes, which caused Chris to move, groaning. She looked at Beth "Yeah... Mhm why don't you go check it out."

"Mace! What if someone is trying to break in!" Beth hissed, grabbing her hand, "Please I'm scared!"

Maysilee stared into her dark brown eyes, and sighed "Fine just, let's make it fast. I'm exhausted. I drank a little to much tonight." Maysilee carefully stepped over Mike, who was still passed out on the floor. Beth helped her over Mike, and once she was standing, her and Beth rushed to the door, Maysilee grabbing wooden stick she so happened to find. "Shh, don't make a sound."

"Got it." Beth said and Maysilee creaked the front door open, stepping outside, letting Beth out.

Maysilee walked down the porch until someone jumped out "Boo!" Josh yelled, making Maysilee swing the wooden stick at him, clonking him right in the head. "Shit Mace-"

"Oh my god Josh!" Maysilee shouted, "What the hell! I'm sorry! Your lucky I didn't have a knife or something!"

He rubbed his head "That's gonna hurt ass tomorrow. It was just a prank Mace!"

"Still. What if I had a knife. You'd be dead right now! Not funny!" Maysilee blurted out.

"Yeah Josh not cool." Beth agreed.

"Oh cmon, don't be a downer," Josh frowned "Have a little fun."

"Joshua, it's 4 in the morning, I'm tired, hungover. I wanna sleep." Maysilee proclaimed angrily, crossing her arms.

"Okay okay, go back to bed-" Josh started but was cut off when the front door opened and Matt came out.

"What the hell happened out here?" Matt asked, "I heard screaming."

"Just a little prank Matt." Josh said, pushing past Matt and going inside.

"Yeah just a prank, I clonked him in the head because I thought he was gonna- well kill me." Maysilee said, looking at Beth.

Beth nodded, "Exactly, I woke Mace up because I heard something outside." Beth explained.

"Well at least it was just Josh and not some crazy psycho." Matt pointed out, "We should all get back to bed."

Maysilee nodded, "Smart idea, I'll see you in the morning Matt." Maysilee walked back inside with Beth and Matt. Matt went upstairs to where he was sleeping and Beth went to her bedroom.

Maysilee just walked back to the couch and curled back up on the armrest. Falling back asleep

- flashback over -

Maysilee gave Mike one last smile before limping off.
