### **Chapter I: Six Months On**

It's officially been six months since the night of the horrific events. Beth is getting ready at her house. She goes downstairs, get's scared by Paul, her brother, then goes into the kitchen where her mother, Valerie, is making breakfast. They talk about Paul before Beth is asked to put the radio on. She puts it on just as an interview is being played; a sheriff is being questioned about disappearances lately in Ashington and the finding of body parts in Saltwood. Beth freaks out and quickly leaves her house to see Jai pulling up. He asks what's wrong and she explains the situation. He comforts her but is scared a bit himself. Beth then says they need to go visit Charlie to see how he's doing. Jai protests but eventually gives in and so they go to Charlie's house.

### **Chapter II: Visitation**

Jai and Beth pull up to some shady apartment blocks on other side of New Quays where Charlie's uncle lives but Charlie now lives there while his uncle is abroad. They go up to the apartment and come face to face with Charlie. They ask if he heard and he has heard the news and tells them that he's OK despite there persistence. He then shoos them away, promising to text Beth later. He then closes the door and goes inside where it's revealed he has a big board of newspaper articles, photographs and other stuff all over. He goes onto his laptop and finds an email waiting for him with a video attachment that turns out to be CCTV footage of a woman being dragged away. He then tells himself 'I'm close now. Won't be long." He then grabs a file from his table titled 'WENDIGO and flips it open to a page entitled 'LAST ONE', meaning there might be one more wendigo left.

### **Chapter III: Strange Dreams**

Jai's car pulls up to the school and at first they don't move. Jai asks if she's OK and Beth says she's just a little shaken. They then get out and go to Beth's locker where they're joined by Emma Turner and Hunter Falls. Hunter says that they grabbed coffee because of how late Jai and Beth were running, but it's worded like a question. Beth says they went to visit Charlie and Emma and Hunter give each other worried looks and Jai asks what that's about. Emma says "I'm guessing you heard the story then." and Beth says yes. Jai then explains how they when they went to see Charlie, he could tell something was off. Beth states she doesn't want to keep talking about it. Hunter then gets a vision of someone running through a forest. He notices brown boots when something races past him. He loses his footing in the vision and falls to the ground before suddenly being able to see his friends again. Beth says that Hunter is freaking them out but he lies and says he's fine. Just as he begins talking about Shannon Bowman, he pauses mid sentence when he see's what look likes Jack. Jai and Beth notice and go with Hunter to see who it is but Jack is gone again. Emma asks what was going on but none of them tell her and instead all go their own way to class, frustrating Emma. Meanwhile, Alice is at her locker and looking at a picture of Lance. She gets emotional and thinks about him. Suddenly Lily appears beside her and demands to know what the hell last night was about and refers to the 1am texts from Alice saying that she needs help and that she can see Lance again. Alice tries to play it off but Lily tells her that she needs to stop drinking and smoking weed because it's harming her a lot. Lily then says to make it up to her, Alice has to go to Shannon Bowman's 17th party that night and Alice agrees. They then go to Biology and run into Shannon. They say happy birthday to her and then Alice zones out while Lily and Shannon talk.

### **Chapter IV: Haunted**

The school bell then rings to alert the teens that school has finished for the day. Alice walks out of Geography and starts walking through the crowds of people when flashbacks start happening. Just as she's looking for somewhere to go alone when someone grabs onto her and it's revealed to be Lily. Lily says that she tried texting her to ask if they can go outfit shopping. Alice agrees before telling her that she needs to go to the bathroom and Lily insists on going with her but Alice tells her to wait outside. She goes into the bathroom to calm down. She leans on the sink and tells herself to calm down and breathe. She begins to remember everything that she had forgotten after the explosion in Saltwood. She then gets cool water and throws it on her face. When she lifts her head, Lance is in the mirror reflection all bloodied up with a hole in his chest and burns all over. She starts screaming that he's dead and not real over and over. She closes her eyes and when she opens them, he's gone. Calming herself down more, she exits the bathroom and then bumps into Hunter. He apologises and says he's been distracted. Alice asks if he's OK but Hunter knows she looks shook up and asks if she's fine. He then tells her that she should go talk to Beth and Jai immedietley. Alice asks why but Hunter walks away. She then goes outside and see's Beth, Jai and Emma. She asks if she can speak to the duo alone when Lily also joins them. Emma leaves, annoyed and Alice tells Lily to wait for her somewhere. Once alone, Jai tells Alice that him, Beth and Hunter all saw Jack this morning in the corridor. Alice is weirded out and confused. However, Beth says they probably imagined him but Jai says that three people saw him. Beth says she doesn't want to go through anymore of this and tells them they need to properly move on. She then leaves. Alice demands to know from Jai why she wasn't told earlier. Jai then gets a text and his shock appears on his face. Alice asks what the message was and he tells her that it's Charlie and he's found proof that a Wendigo is still alive. Alice says they need to go over to Charlie's immedietley and they do. Meanwhile, Beth is walking home, thinking about everything and the anniversary when she bumps into Noah Wolfehart, a boy she has a minor crush on. He asks if she's going to Shannon and she says yes and Noah says he is now definitely going. Just then Beth see's Jack standing near the intersection. She tells Noah she'll see him later before chasing after Jack. Cars speed by and by the time she gets there, Jack is gone again. Beth then gets a text from Charlie that tells her to come to his apartment and that Alice and Jai are also on their way. She then heads over.

### **Chapter V: The Last One**

Jai's car pulls up to the apartment and Alice voices her dislike for the area. They go into the building and onto the elevator. They reach Charlie's apartment and he lets them in. They see all the newspaper, files and stuff everywhere and they're shocked about how much research has gone into all of it. Jai asks what it all is and Charlie explains that it's disappearances and stuff that's occured in Saltwood and Ashington that has happened ever since they were rescued from Saltwood. Jai gets angry, asking why Charlie didn't tell them about it sooner. Charlie says he wanted to make sure before he told them. Alice asks how he made sure and Charlie gets two photographs and a sheet of paper. The photographs have shredded bodies and body parts on them. Beth suddenly appears, asking if he's sure it's a Wendigo. Alice gets a shock, asking Beth when she got there. Beth doesn't reply but instead demands on answer to her question. Charlie says that yes it's a Wendigo because the victims were killed the same way their friends were back in Saltwood. Jai asks for solid evidence such as videos or photographs of an actual Wendigo sighting. Charlie hands over a medical report about how one of the people were killed. The report states that the person was dragged into the woods by a large creature with large claws and sharp enough teeth bite the victim's arm off. Alice realises that a Wendigo is indeed back. Beth demands to know what Charlie wants them to do with the info. Alice tries to calm her down but Jai sides with Beth. Charlie reveals he has an idea but is nervous to reveal it but Beth insists Charlie tells them it. Charlie says that he thinks they should go back to Saltwood to kill the last Wendigo once and for all and to get closure. Jai becomes enraged, thinking Charlie is crazy for wanting to go back and risk their lives and the two bicker. Jai goes to leave, expecting the girls to follow but they don't. Beth then says that she's in to go with Charlie because she wants closure and she wants to make sure no one else dies because of the monster. Jai asks Alice her opinion and she agrees with Beth, also saying she's in on one condition: if things get too much or too dangerous, she leaves and says that they have one chance to kill this thing and that's it. Jai turns around to think about it all. HE reluctantly agrees to it. He then leaves the building, followed by Alice. Beth asks once more if he's sure about everything and he reassures her. She then leaves. Charlie locks the door before saying "You can come out now." and suddenly Hunter comes into the room. Charlie then says he's getting close to something, that he can feel it. Hunter says "Actually you're closer than you think." and he gives Charlie a folder. Charlie reads the title of the folder 'JACK JAMES' and he thanks Hunter for the help. Hunter then says "You'll never believe what I found out.

### **Chapter VI: Pills and a Party**

Alice returns home to find Lily waiting in her room. Lily kicks off, shouting at Alice for just making her wait for nothing and so she had to go outfit shopping by herself. Alice apologises and explains she had something to do first. Lily shouts at her, saying that she's been blowing her off all day and being very weird and secretive. Alice tells Lily that she is dealing with a lot at the minute and Lily gets sad, saying how she feels like Alice is pushing her away. Lily gets up to leave before saying "It hurts that you won't let me in. We're meant to be best friends." and tells her that she'll see her at Shannon's soon and exits. Alice breathes. About an hour later at sunset, Shannon's party begins. Jai shows and says happy birthday and gives Shannon her gift. He see's Hunter and joins him. Hunter asks if Beth and Emma are on their way and he says they are coming now. Jai asks Hunter if he's OK because he keeps checking his phone and he says he's just waiting for a text. Jai asks who from but Hunter remains mysterious. Jai then decides to go get them a drink. Once he leaves, Beth and Emma turn up and join Hunter. Emma is stoked to be at the party and can't wait to get wasted but Beth seems very distracted with everything that's going on. Emma notices the lack of energy and asks what's going on but neither of them say anything. Emma then demands to know why she's being left out of so many things today and that she feels excluded and like she doesn't fit in. Beth tells her that she needs to realise it's the anniversary and they're all dealing with a lot and Emma understands but still feels like they're keeping something from her. Alice pulls up in her car but doesn't get out immedietley. She thinks about everything but Lily interrupts her thoughts and they go in together. They join Beth and the others. Alice decides to go get a drink. Lily is busy talking about how Beth should just go for Noah and not be scared but Lily then notices Alice putting pills into her drink and then drinks it. Lily excuses herself and goes over and argues with her about taking drugs again. Alice says it's her escape from everything shitty in her life. Lily becomes sad, worried and angry and storms away. The others stop her and ask her what's happened and she says "Go ask Alice. That's if she's not drugged out yet." They go over and ask what's happened and Alice says that she's took a few pills. They try to warn her about it but she expects Jai and Beth to understand especially which they do but don't think pill popping is the answer. Meanwhile, back at Charlie's apartment, he is looking through everything in the 'JACK JAMES' folder when he comes across a photograph of what appears to be Jack dragging someone into the woods with another male figure. Charlie then says to himself "I was right." He then grabs his phone and texts Jai, Beth and Alice. Back to the party, they're all having a somewhat good time whn the texts come through. Beth knows something is up when she reads "I have more news. Pack your things. We leave tonight." Jai then rushes over to Beth and Alice also comes over. Emma is confused as to what's going on and so is Lily. They then say they have to go see Charlie and they leave. Emma reveals she's sick of them hiding things and Lily agrees. Emma then says "You know what? I'm not having it. I'm going to follow them." before running out of the house. She shouts for Lily to join her and she does. Lily asks "What about Hunter?", and Emma says "Text him to meet us at Charlie's apartment." and they drive off.

### **Chapter VII: "We're in this together."**

The gang arrive at Charlie's apartment and demand to know what he found out. Charlie glances back at his folder of evidence about Jack and decides not to tell them yet. Instead he tells them that the girl that went missing last night in Ashington was found savaged beyond recognition in Saltwood about an hour ago. The police think its the same creature that's responsible for everything else and the group realise that it's the Wendigo. As Charlie picks up his luggage, he asks the others one last time if they definitely want to come with him and Beth says "We're in this together." and then they leave the apartment. Getting into the car, they drive away. Hunter, Lily and Emma watch from a distance. Lily wonders what the hell they're up to and Emma says that something is definitely not right. Hunter asks them if they want to go and follow them and the girls think they should and so they do. They then drive off after them. They don't realise that someone in a bike suit and helmet has been watching them. The person gets out their phone and types a text message saying 'It worked. They've just left." and then sends it. A reply comes through: 'Good. Thanks for your help.'. The person then replies with 'It's fine. I'm leaving now. You'll know where to find me if you need me. Give him my love.' The person then puts the phone away and drives off.

### **Chapter VIII: Revelation**

The group are on the road to Saltwood. Alice wants to know why Charlie thinks they should go right now and Charlie stutters a bit while explaining that another girl is dead. It makes the others believe that he's hiding something. Jai tells Charlie to tell the truth and stop hiding things from them. Charlie tries to tell them he isn't hiding things but Alice demands to know and this causes Jai to get distracted and he almost hits something that runs in front of the car and into the other side of the woods. Stopping instantly, they sit there quite shocked and shook up. Alice asks what was it and Jai says it might've been a deer. Charlie looks at them and says "You think so?". Just as Jai goes to reply, a familiar screech goes off in the forest. It sounds echoey which means its quite a distance but it still scares them. Alice tells Jai to start driving but Jai says "I'll drive if Charlie tells the full truth." Charlie reluctantly agrees and they start driving again. Charlie then reveals to them that someone has been helping him with a project. He then explains that he's found evidence that Jack is actually still alive and has gotten better. Everyone is in shock and a lot of anger goes through them all because he's hid things like this. They're furious but also confused about how Jack can be alive when they all saw him die in Charlie's arms. Charlie fishes out the JACK JAMES folder and goes through it with them, showing them photographs and stuff. Alice points out the fact that Jai and Beth seen Jack in school earlier and Beth mentions that she also saw him in the street watching her earlier. Jai asks if that was Jack and Charlie says that it could be him and that he's trying to reach out to them. Alice is confused as to why he would do it this way but Charlie says he couldn't just waltz into their lives again after all this time. Jai then turns a corner and they see the cabin. They all go silent, thinking about how the last time they arrived here, they were all suomewhat happy. They get out of the car and look at it. Jai then says "Oh god... We're actually back."

### **Chapter IX: The Cabin That Dripped Blood**

The group then go inside and start looking around. It's all dirty and damp and musky. Leaves are everywhere and there's a big breeze. The smashed windows have been boarded up and the furniture has been covered with cloths. Alice points out how it looks like it hasn't changed much since they were there but says it feels so different. They all go and have a look around. Charlie then tells them that they should sleep together, just to be safe but Alice refuses, wanting her own room. They then go and look at the rooms and find some of the doors have been locked. Alice manages to get into the old room she had with Lance and she remembers that night they spent together and how she got mad at him over a stupid reason. She says to herself "I miss you, Lance." Jai appears behind her and gives her a hug. He promises her that they're going to leave Saltwood feeling fully ready to move on with their lives and she takes comfort in him. Charlie is in the living room unpackig and then Beth asks him if he thinks Jack is alive. He says "You can call me whatever you want but... Yes I do think he's alive." And he's shocked to learn that Beth agrees. She then asks him if he wanted to come back to stop and kill the Wendigo or to try and find Jack and Charlie says he wants to do both. Beth tells him that even if Jack is alive, it's like Charlie said, he can't just come back into their lives and resume everything. Charlie knows this but what he wants to know is why Jack has been hiding all this time. Beth then says "We'll find out. Don't worry. We'll get our answers." Meanwhile, three people stand and watch Charlie and Beth from outside. Kimika, Vivienne and Raymond. Kimika expresses her happiness that her plan has worked and she has them where she wants them. Vivienne expresses her concern about dragging in a bunch of kids into all of this but Raymond backs up Kimika, saying "We need them, Viv. They can help us end the hunters and take back Saltwood. Especially with all of their abilities combined." Vivienne still feels uneasy but Kimika promises it's for the greater good. She then says that they should leave so the next part of the plan can happen.

### **Chapter X: Midnight Hunt**

While sleeping, Alice has a dream about being back in Saltwood during the winter and she see's Lance. But in the dream, Lance is killed and before anything else happens, she is awoken by Charlie who tells her that they're going to fight the Wendigo now. Alice is initially scared but promises she is up to the job. Beth and Jai come into the room and she see's they have guns. Alice asks where they're from and Charlie says they're from a friend and he gives her one. He then gives them a radio and they go off hunting for the Wendigo. During the hunt, Beth hears something in a bush not far from her but it's revealed nothing is there. When she approaches a tree she hears something behind her but when she turns around nothings there. When she faces the tree again, footprints and claw marks are seen and she alerts the others that the Wendigo is with them. Alice becomes terrified at the thought of the Wendigo watching them. When she turns around, she see's the Wendigo stood right there and it screeches at her. As it's about to kill her, Jai throws himself into her and the two roll out of the way as the Wendigo pounces. Jai tells Alice to run and she does while Jai runs the other way, telling the others to meet in the clearing so they can kill the Wendigo. Charlie and Beth head to the clearing and see nothing. Alice joins them, promising that he's coming. At the other end of the clearing, Jai comes running out with the Wendigo right behind him and Charlie, Beth and Alice all open fire on it. They spread out to get even shots and as Charlie goes to reload his gun it becomes jammed. The Wendigo goes for him but something jumps out from the forest and attacks the Wendigo. It's revealed to be Jack who punches the Wendigo to the other end before telling Charlie and the others to run. They do that and leave Jack behind to face the Wendigo. The group return to the cabin where they find Lily, Emma and Hunter waiting for them. They ask what's going on and Alice tells them that Jack is alive. Meanwhile, Kara Denalya is sorting out sharpened pieces of wood when Felix Truitt asks her if she's still killing them all to which Kara replies with "Every last one of 'em."

### **Chapter XI: Alive... Or Undead**

Lily and Emma demand more answers than Alice's short explanation and Charlie tells them that since they came back from Saltwood back in 2013, Charlie found evidence that Jack wasn't actually dead and that he was living out in Saltwood. He then says he had help and Emma asks from who and Hunter admits he helped. Jai, Beth and Alice become shocked to learn that Hunter knew about this as well, growing a bit angry with Charlie yet again. Charlie points out that something about Jack has changed, that he's not the same anymore. Just then, the front door flies open and Jack and another person, a boy, is stood there. Jai points his gun and Alice joins his side but the boy smacks them both back into the wall, slightly hurting them for a split second. Beth also goes to point her gun and the boy knocks it out of her hand and so she backs away. Charlie says "What the hell are you?!" and Jack grabs Charlie and slams him into a wall, baring his teeth. His eyes flash a brilliant purple, his fangs showing. Jack then laughs and says "Calm your tits, Charles. I'm not here to kill you. Maybe." He then takes a seat on the loveseat. He tells the boy, named Luca, to join him. The others demand to know what the hell is going on and what they are and Jack says "Did you guys get even more dumb while I was gone? I'm a vampire, idiots." They're all in shock, not buying it. Luca then points out Lily, Hunter and Alice as "She's the huntress, he's the psychic and she's powerful." And Jack says yes. They ask what they mean and Jack says they'll find out, just like they'll find out why exactly all of this has happened. Charlie wants to know why Jack didn't contact them and Jack states that the old him died back in 2013 and he was reborn. He tells them that they'll see them soon because "She's waiting on an update." Beth asks who and Jack says "You'll meet her. Soon. She's excited to see you. All of you." and with that, Jack and Luca leave. The others discuss everything, taking in everything that's happened. Hunter explains that he is indeed a psychic, being able to see into the future and past in visions and dreams although the future can always change so his visions are mostly warnings. Alice and Lily want to know what's so special about them and they also want to know who exactly is 'She'. Jai asks Charlie what they do now and Charlie says "This changes everything. All of the attacks and disappearances could've been done by Jack and whoever else is like him." They all agree and Emma asks where he's going with this and Charlie says "Tomorrow we're going to go into Ashington. We'll split up and try and find out as much as we can about what Jack's been up to without giving too much away." They agree with that too. Meanwhile, Jack and Luca arrive back at the Haven. Kimika asks for an update and Jack says they're all intrigued and that it's going to work. Kimika smiles at this, happy her plan is working. Jack then says "You're still keeping to your promise, right Kimika? Once they help us, none of them get hurt. OK?" and Kimika says she knows before dismissing Jack. Luca stays and says "He's not going to be happy. They're his friends." and then Kimika says "Well we're his family. Once he realises that, he'll be the one to kill them. Not any of us." Luca asks if they're even necessary and she says "Yes, Luca. The hunters are closing in and we can't have them on our asses while we're trying to do what we came here to do." Luca then nods before walking out. Sam Flores has been stood in the room during all this and asks Kimika why they aren't good enough. Kimika says she needs the others to help them do what they have to do. Sam begins to get heated, thinking that he's never good enough for Kimika. Kimika then becomes enraged with Sam, grabbing him by the throat and screaming at him, telling him he's ungrateful, a brat and full of jealous because Jack and his old friends have more potential than he ever has. She then throws Sam down to the ground and tells him to leave her sight before she tears his throat out wit her teeth. Sam angrily walks out and mutters to himself "I'll show you potential." and then leaves the Haven.

### **Chapter XII: Digging Around**

The group arrive into Ashington and see that police and reporters have swarmed the town square. Jai asks Charlie what exactly the plan is and Charlie tells them to split up and start digging up as much as they can without drawing attention to themselves. He then walks away. Alice and Jai go off together to hunt for information when they come across a woman placing flowers on the bench. They go over to her and the woman is revealed to be Andrea Bloom, Danielle's friend. Alice asks what happened and Andrea explains to them that Danielle had been talking to someone named JJ and that the night she went missing she went to meet him. Andrea doesn't believe that an animal killed Danielle, she believes that JJ had killed her. She mentions the fact that they were at Dirtiz Bar the night she was murdered and then Andrea excuses herself, going to meet her friend. Alice leads Jai to the bar, wanting to find more out. They go inside and are greeted with a southern accented woman that's revealed to be Kara. Jai is instantly attracted to her and so Alice excuses herself, going to wait outside. Jai asks if she could tell him anything about the disappearance of Danielle or the other murders and Kara vaguely tells him that there are monsters doing all of it and then warns Jai to leave Ashington for his own safety. Jai becomes freaked out, thinking Kara knows more than she's letting on. He then leaves the bar. Meanwhile outside, Alice is walking when she runs into a young boy. She apologizes before the boy reveals his name to be Micaiah. Alice notices he is wearing a Dirtiz logo shirt, making her think that he works there. She asks what he's doing out and he says that he's with his Dad's business friend on a hunting trip. Alice asks what kind but Micaiah tells her he can't say anything as he's not allowed. Alice asks if he can at least tell her who she is but Jai interrupts them and so Micaiah says goodbye before walking away. Alice asks if Jai found anything out and Jai tells her everything that Kara told him and Alice agrees that it all sounds very sketchy and start to ponder ideas about how Kara could be leading a group of hunters to kill Jack. Alice says they need to tell Charlie so they walk off to find him. Meanwhile, Charlie is walking through the town square when he comes across two officers talking heatedly. He eavesdrop, hearing the officers talk about how they've done what they had to do and now that they have their money, they can just move on but one of the officers shows that he is scared and so the other tells him to stop it before the payer kills them. The officers walk away and Charlie see's Jack on the other side of the fountain, smiling at him. Charlie walks over and demands to know what he's doing there and how he can walk in the sun. Jack explains that the sun legend is just a lie to scare vampires. Charlie continues to ask questions, specifically what the woman in charge wants with them and Jack drops the bombshell that she wants to meet them that night and Charlie refuses initially before Jack spills some more details about how hunters are looking for them and she knows that they can be of use. He then disappears, leaving Charlie to think. He then texts the group to meet at the 50s diner so he can tell them everything.

### **Chapter XIII: Just as Dangerous**

The group are sat in the diner, bickering about what they should do. Emma is completely against the idea, thinking it's fishy and dangerous to do it and Jai voices his opinion, agreeing with Emma. Lily tells them that they have to go if they want to find out exactly why they're special to the woman. Emma shouts at them, calling them crazy and reminding them that Jack has been behind the murders and Alice snaps at her, telling her she shouldn't have followed them. Emma tells Alice to "Bite me, bitch." before walking away. Once outside, she bumps into a man revealed to be Sam. Emma becomes entranced by Sam's good looks and begins flirting with him about getting a ride to the cabin as she cannot find her car keys. Sam finally offers her a ride to the cabin and the two leave for his car. Outside of Ashington at the abandoned warehouse, Kara and her group of hunters are creating more weapons. Felix and Kara are talking about Alice and Jai and the questions they were asking and how suspicious it seemed. Kara states they need to find out what they're upto and fast. Micaiah then comes in and tells Kara he doesn't want innocent people getting killed. Kara promises no one will get hurt as long as they're not helping vampires because they're "just as dangerous." Micaiah says he know they are as a human killed his father. He then asks if she's close to finding where the one in charge is and Kara says they may have something and Felix suggests following the group to see where they go and hopefully get some answers. Kara agrees with that idea and Micaiah is also in as long as no one gets hurt or killed. Back at the diner, the group are leaving and are about to get into the cars when they realize Emma is still gone and the town is deserted. Beth texts her and gets a text back that has a picture of an unconscious Emma on the wood floor with the message 'Tick tock goes Emma's life clock.' Charlie realizes its in Saltwood so they go to the cars to rescue Emma.

### **Chapter XIV: Emma!**

The group return to the cabin to begin their plan to find and save Emma. Charlie tells them they'll be splitting up to cover more ground and when Lily begins to question the Wendigo, Beth gets a text from Emma's kidnapper which urges for them to find Emma even more. Meanwhile somewhere in the forest, Sam has Emma unconscious and she's just beginning to wake up. She asks what Sam wants from her and he says he wants respect and this is the best way of getting it. Emma cries for help but Sam retaliates and digs his nails into Emma's chest, promising her that if she shouts for help again, he'll kill her. Lily is running through the forest but cannot find any sign of Emma. She then comes across Kara, Felix and Micaia who ask her what she's doing. But Lily asks if they've seen Emma but Kara demands to know her name. Before Lily can ask again, the Wendigo screech interrupts them. Kara and Felix realize it's the Wendigo and start preparing. Suddenly, it jumps out from the bushes and Felix shoots it. The four then take off into the forest. But as they're running, Lily gets caught in a bear trap and so Kara and Felix work quick to free her. They then head to Kara's truck where Micaiah and Lily hide inside. Just as Kara and Felix go to get in the front, the Wendigo jumps onto the bonnet, smashing the windshield and starts clawing at Lily and Micaiah. Kara and Felix load their guns and just as they're about to shoot, Charlie arrives and tells them not to move. He then throws a stone into the woods, distracting the Wendigo, making it run off. Charlie gets Lily from the car and thanks them for saving her. Kara asks how Charlie knew what the Wendigo was and Charlie says he's ran into Wendigo's before and Lily realizes that it wasn't bears that did the killings back in December, it was Wendigo's. When Kara reveals they're vampire hunters, Charlie remembers Bob and how he said he was a hunter before he killed Konnor. Charlie then becomes wary of them. He tells them that Bob killed Konnor before telling them to take Lily back to the cabin and then staying out of their way before running back off into the forest. Kara gives Felix a nod to take Lily back and she catches up with Charlie, wanting to know more but the two run into Sam and Emma.

### **Chapter XV: Saying Goodbye**

Charlie and Kara interrogate Sam, asking what he wants with them and who he is. Sam reveals he's a vampire and is with Kimika and that he is going to kill them all to gain respect from the fellow vampires of the Haven. Sam then goes for the duo and a vicious fight happens. It ends with Sam throwing Charlie into a tree and then Kara stakes him with some wood, killing him. Jack and Luca arrive in time to see this happen and an angry Jack promises that its personal and he storms off with Luca following him. Kara then asks Charlie what side is he on and Charlie tells her that its complicated and this leads to Emma making her presence known once again and Charlie rushes over to her. Emma is angry, not wanting to meet Kimika after what's just happened, knowing no good will come out of it. Charlie says that they'll talk about it at the cabin and they head off back to it. They reach it and everyone is glad to see them and Emma tells them that Charlie will explain what happened. Noticing something is up with her, the gang follow her to see that she's packing her things. Beth wants to know what's going on and Emma reveals that she's decided to flee and return back to New Quays because its too dangerous for them. They understand and Emma asks if Lily or Hunter want to come back with her but they can't as they're both needed. Emma says one last goodbye before heading off, driving away. A voice startles the gang and it's revealed to be Vivienne, the henchwoman of Kimika. She's there to take the group to the Haven to meet Kimika and they're took to the seemingly abandoned mansion when it was revealed to have been cloaked by someone. The chapter ends with Kimika saying "Welcome. I've been expecting you."

### **Chapter XVI: The Haven**

Kimika introduces herself, the Haven and Vivienne and Raymond. Beth demands to know what she wants with them and Kimika explains how she and her clan have been getting hunted by a group of hunters led by the late Gregg Clove, Micaiah's father, and when Kara took charge, the hunters became more ruthless and relentless. Hunter points out the fact that they've killed people and Kimika admits they have but says that the hunters have also killed innocent people who aid vampires and they also kill other types of supernaturals and Jai says that it isn't their problem as they aren't supernatural but Vivienne explains that some of them are, making Hunter an example and then telling Alice that she's very powerful herself. Lily demands to know what she is and Kimika reveals she comes from a line of superhuman hunters and she's what they call the Huntress. Kimika then goes on to say that they'll be good use to them and Charlie asks what she means and Kimika further reveals that they're going to help kill the hunters and take back Saltwood. Hunter refuses, not wanting to be weaponised. Kimika then threatens them, saying that if they don't join on their own, she'll take further action to make them join. Outside of the room, Jack is still thinking about the death of Sam and he decides to tell Kimika but Luca tries to stop him but Jack ignores him, proceeding to tell Kimika. Everyone is shocked at the announcement and the gang are scared that something will happen to them in retaliation since Charlie helped kill Sam. Kimika tells him "a life for a life. You know what to do." meaning Jack will kill a hunter in return, to get even. He runs out of the Haven. Lily asks what he's going to do and Kimika tells them that she won't tolerate dirty moves and that he's going out to make a point to the hunters to ensure they don't cross her. The gang then run after Jack but lose him in the forest. Alice asks what they do now and Jai states he doesn't like Kimika one bit. Charlie says they need to go over everything and then go find the hunters.

### **Chapter XVII: What's Our Next Move?**

They reach the cabin and Lily asks for the plan and Charlie explains that they need to find the hunters before Jack does. Alice suggests checking Dirtiz in Ashington as that's where Kara worked and Charlie agrees to it and Jai thinks they should leave now but Beth reveals that Emma hasn't been in contact yet and it's not right, she has a bad feeling about their friend. Hunter reveals he had a bad feeling when Emma left, like she was going to be in danger and the group become angry that he hid this from them. Charlie shouts at them to stop arguing and then explains the plan, stating that he, Alice, Lily and Jai will go into Ashington while Hunter and Beth stay in the cabin and try and find out if Emma is OK. They then part ways. Back at the Haven, Vivienne is sat on the stairs thinking about how guilty she feels for putting the gang through this. She sees Raymond and goes up to him, stopping him. She asks if he's OK with all of this and he replies with how loyal he is to Kimika and that they all should be. Vivienne then states her worry for drafting in kids into a war that could leave them all with many casualties. Raymond warns Vivienne not to be thinking twice about it and Vivienne frets that she doesn't want to be involved with innocent people dying. Raymond tells Vivienne that she's a vampire and that killing people is part of who they are and then says to suck it up. Vivienne then storms off. Raymond goes to Kimika and expresses his concerns over Vivienne and the things she seems to be feeling. Kimika tells Raymond he should be focusing on Luca as he seems like he's becoming a wild card and that that is dangerous. Raymond tells her that Vivienne can't be getting let off easily and Kimika tells him she won't as she's going to keep a very close eye on her from now on and tells Raymond to go spy on Luca to keep on eye on him. Raymond walks away and is joined by Lyle Lerman, a vampire and friend of Raymond's. Raymond explains what they're going to do and they leave the Haven, looking for Luca. The group arrive outside of Dirtiz and upon entering they meet Nora Woods, a bartender and hunter. After a heated exchange between her and the group and the meeting of Nora's brother Stephen and their friend Todd, they all figure they have mutual interests in the safety of the ones they love. Nora offers to take them to the place where the hunters reside and they agree. Meanwhile back at the cabin, Beth and Hunter are still worried about Emma when suddenly Luca appears, claiming that Emma is in danger.

### **Chapter XVIII: The Real Enemy**

Beth and Hunter want to know how they can trust Luca and Luca says he came alone and that Jack is out looking for revenge. Hunter then has another vision. This time it's of Jack and he's about to kill someone. Luca and Beth ask what he saw and he tells them that Emma isn't the only one in trouble. Luca realises that Hunter means Jack could also be killed or even dead. Beth then demands to know how Emma is in trouble and Luca tells them that someone has her - the hunters. They're using her as bait to lure them out. He then tells them that if they don't hurry, someone is going to die. They decide to go with Luca and the trio leave the cabin. Raymond and Lyle reveal themselves out of the shadows. Lyle can't believe that Luca is switching on them. Raymond says he saw it coming and that he always thought Luca was weak. Lyle asks what now and Raymond says they need to keep up with them and find out exactly what they're doing. Meanwhile, Emma wakes up in a room. She is confused and shouts for someone. Kara comes over and tells her that they're not going to hurt her, that they just need to talk to her friends. Emma is furious, wondering why it's necessary for them to kidnap her and Kara says they wouldn't have listened and that they were already at the haven, meeting Kimika. Emma asks why Kara has it out so bad for her and Kara says "She's a monster. A ruthless, cunning, selfish monster that doesn't care for anyone but herself. And if she gets anymore alone time with your friends, they're going to be brainwashed into a battle that will get them killed." Emma asks if she'll kill her friends and Kara says she won't, as long as they realise just who the enemy is and what they actually want. Felix then arrives and tells Kara that Charlie and the others have arrived. Kara meets with them and Charlie, off the bat, warns them that Jack is on his way to kill one of them for killing Sam. Kara looks worried and ushers them inside. She takes them into a room and tells Felix to bring 'her' in and the group are relieved to see Emma. Initially, they're furious with Kara for taking her but Emma promises them she isn't the enemy and that Kimika is. Kara goes through everything with them and reveals that Kimika only cares about power and that once she has Saltwood back, she will kill anyone who has the potential to over take her and that would be Jack and the group due to their combined gifts and she asks them to choose a side. They all decide to help Kara take down Kimika but on one condition - Jack doesn't get hurt. Suddenly, the doors burst open and Jack walks in and says "Well, well, well. Look who we have here."

### **Chapter XIX: Getting Even**

Jack throws a few hunters into the wall and comes face to face with Kara, who orders him to stand down or else he'll die. Jack then says he's here for a life. Micaiah appears and Jack says "Now that looks like someone expendendable." And goes to approach him but Kara punches him, warning him one last time to back off. Charlie tells Jack that the hunters aren't the problem at all. Jack asks what they're talking about and Alice tells him everything. Jack is in disbelief. One of the hunters slyly shoots Jack with some wood and he goes wild with the hunters, fighting a few. During this, Jack runs for one of the hunters when Lily's gift is revealed - she's a generation of a huntress and her extra human abilities kick in and she goes to town on Jack, managing to throw him into the wall effortlessly. Jai points out that that's what they meant by the huntress. And when Jack goes for them again, Alice goes to throw her hands in front of herself but a light blue light comes from her hand and creates a shield, knocking Jack backwards. Confused, Alice has no idea what she just done. Kara then says "Oh my God... you're a witch." Alice is in disbelief. The group talk Jack down from killing a hunter and he says that he feels bad for all of this. Meanwhile, Luca, Beth and Hunter reach the warehouse. Beth states her distrust in the whole situation but Luca promises them that if he was going to kill them, he would've done before. They then head towards the warehouse and open the doors to find the group there. But before anyone says anything, Raymond and Lyle throw Beth and Hunter inside, hurting them before smacking Luca into everyone else. Kara orders her men to open fire. But Raymond and Lyle manage to disarm everyone. They then corner the central group into the middle of the room. Raymond says he always knew Luca would go soft and he then states his happiness in how Jack has just made it more easier for Kimika to kill when everything is over. Kara tells them to get out before they start something and Raymond gets angry, stating how they killed one of theirs. Alice then manages to fling Raymond backwards and hell breaks loose as the vampires go against the others. After a short fight, Raymond slices Felix's fingers off before stabbing him in the eye, killing him. Jack fights Raymond off of him and Raymond says "You chose the wrong side, Jack." Jack bares his fangs at Raymond and Raymond and Lyle get out of the warehouse. Kara is emotionless at the sight of Felix's body and Micaiah is broken seeing all of this. Kara promises revenge and orders Jack to leave the warehouse. Jack goes to snap at Kara but Luca snaps his neck, temporarily killing him. Luca then tells them that Jack is OK and that they'll meet again. Kara then says to the others "That's it. No more fucking around. We leave tomorrow. This all ends. We kill every last one of 'em." And the others just look at each other before nodding.

### **Chapter XX: Family No More**

Raymond and Lyle return to the Haven and inform Kimika of everything that had happened back at the warehouse including Jack's betrayal. Kimika is furious and declares Jack a target along with the rest of his friends. She tells her vampires that they need to prepare for the battle that will come. Vivienne was eavesdropping from outside when she is startled by Cathryn. Vivienne asks her for her thoughts on all of this and Cathryn agrees with Kimika, stating that if anyone betrays the vampires, they're no longer family before walking away, leaving Vivienne to start thinking about leaving the Haven to avoid killing innocent kids. Back at the warehouse, Kara and the hunters are leading a funeral for Felix and the gang are inside watching it go down. After the funeral, Kara, Stephen, Nora and Todd come back inside and tell them that training is to begin instantly. Jai points out that they're going against ruthless vampires but Kara says that it's true that some of them may die but they have to take down Kimika. She then tells Lily and Alice that she'll train with them while the others train with Nora, Stephen and Todd. During training, Kara throw a knife at Alice for her to stop and he manages to do it at the last second and this slightly angers Lily. Alice agrees with Kara's methods and then Lily starts expressing her concerns over being a deadly Huntress but Kara promises her that she'll guide her properly and then they continue training.

### **Chapter XXI: Basic Training**

Jack wakes up and realises he had his neck snapped. He is angry at Luca and demands to know what he meant by 'I had it under control'. Luca doesn't want to say why at first but Jack impales his hand with a knife and demands to know so Luca tells him that he and Kimika devised a plan between the two; the plan consisted of Luca acting out which could lead to Luca pretending to side with the hunters to find out what they're planning to do. Jack is hurt learning he was just apart of Luca's plan. Luca says that Kimika is now planning to kill Jack because he flipped and has the potential to kill her. Jack says "I have potential then why did she turn me in the first place?" Luca then says that she was using him to reel his friends in to try and use their abilities for her own agenda and Jack becomes enraged. Luca further reveals that Kimika was behind the Wendigo attacks as she was the one to release them last winter. Jack asks if 'he' is a liar too and Luca says that no he wasn't. Jack then grabs the knife and rams it through Luca's stomach and whispers in his ear "I'll see you on the battle ground, babe." before pulling the knife out and leaving the cabin. Meanwhile, Nora is busy teaching Charlie, Emma, Beth, Jai and Hunter some basic training moves. Jai flirts with Nora just as Alice walks in and Lily notices the jealousy and says "Jealousy is never your color, Alice." Alice shuts her up by saying she has nothing to be jealous about. Lily points out her obvious attraction to Jai and tells her to make a move but Alice says they can't be thinking about stuff like that when they're literally going to go to war with a bunch of vampires. Lily tells her that she might miss her chance before walking away. Beth admits that she's terrified of what's to come and Nora tells her she should be terrified because it's not going to be easy at all. Charlie asks their opinions on Jack and Luca and Nora says "We all got our own opinions but the big decisions is up to Kara. You want the deal, go talk to her, not me, kid. Now you gonna let me teach you this shit or what?". Just then Jack shows up. Alot of people grow defensive and Jack says "I'm already pissed off so go ahead, shoot me. See how many heads I tear off in a few seconds." Charlie eases everyone down before asking Jack what happened. Before Jack can say anything, Beth makes a slick comment about him being dangerous and Jack says "Do you want to see dangerous?" and Alice excuses Beth's comment, encouraging Jack to explain what happened. Kara displays her distrust and then Jack reveals everything Luca told him. This angers the teens and Nora whispers to Kara "This is the fire these kids need, Kara." and Kara agrees. Jack then says "Now can I be in your little pow-wow club to kill the bitch?" and Kara says "Fine. You're in. But I swear if you so much as look at one of my guys the wrong way, your feet won't the ground, understand?" and Jack says "Fine." and Jack joins his friends in training.

### **Chapter XXII: We're Ready... Sort Of**

Luca arrives back at the Haven and Raymond expresses his anger with how Luca can show his face again after trying to betray them. Lyle grabs Luca by the throat and threatens to kill him when Vivienne shows up and orders them to stop. Kimika then comes in and orders Lyle to drop Luca and he does. Kimika reveals their plan to the other vampires before asking Luca for an update. Luca explains to her how Jack reacted and that he's went back for his friends and that he promised to come back for them all to kill them. Kimika then says "We will not stand down. We will not cower. We will not run. We will stand up and fight for what is ours. We will kill them!" and the vampires cheer and Luca nods in agreement. Vivienne pulls Luca to one side and says "Are you sure you want to go through with this?" and Luca says "Viv, they're our family. She made me." and he walks away with Cathryn. Kimika then tells Raymond to gather up the other vampires because the battle will be beginning very shortly. Raymond and Lyle leave the room. Kimika asks Vivienne if she's ready and Vivienne says that this is all wrong. Kimika is confused because Vivienne was on board with it not that long ago and Vivienne says that it's a bunch of innocent teenagers being lead by a grief stricken hunter and that maybe they should just go into hiding and come back in a few years. Kimika grows angry with Vivienne and snaps her neck, temporarily killing her. Kimika then walks away. Meanwhile, Alice is having one last bit of practise with her powers when Jai coughs and he scares her. They have a bit of a conversation about how they've went from grief stricken teens to allies in an epic hunter vs vampire battle with the additions of psychics and witches. Alice then asks about Jai's love life and Jai says that he hasn't been with a girl in a while. He then asks Alice and she says she's finally beginning to get over Lance. He tells her that he's always here if she wants to talk. Alice thanks him and kisses him on the cheek. He stands there in awe as she walks away and then he see's Hunter who watched what happened. Jai says "You see that? She kissed me." and Hunter laughs, showing his happiness in the development of their relationship. Jai asks Hunter if he could use his psychic abilities to see his future and Hunter says it doesn't work like that and that he can't just see someone's future just to check if they're going to get laid. Jai laughs and that's when Kara calls everyone down to the main room. She tells them that they're going to start heading to the Haven now thanks to Jack helping them locate it. Kara then says that she, Jack, Charlie, Nora and Stephen will be the ones to approach the main building and when the battle breaks out, the others will run out and engage. She asks them if they're ready and Alice says "I've had about 15 hours to discover I'm a sort of witch and learn how to control it. What do you think, lady?" and Kara takes that as a yes. Micaiah asks what about him and Kara says "I want you to stay out of the way when this happens. If something happens to me, run. Don't hesitate."  Jack then interrupts Charlie and the gang asking if they're ready and Emma walks off followed by Jack. They then join Kara and the hunters as they start heading to the Haven.

### **Chapter XXIII: Beginning of the End**

While they're walking through the forest, Kara asks whereabouts is the Haven and Jack says that it's hidden. Charlie then asks Jack why he never came back when he turned and Jack explains that his new senses took over and he just wanted to forget about his old life. He says as a vampire he can do anything and that he's unstoppable. Charlie tells him that all of this was a fantasy and that he should come back to New Quays with his friends. Beth then says "We may be on the same team but personally I don't think you coming back home with us is the best option."  then Nora says "I think you should listen to your friend or else you'll have us to deal with." Jack rolls his eyes. Emma is feeling very terrified and Hunter tries to comfort her but Emma points out that they might die and that they should never have come. When he hears Emma worrying about death, Hunter has a vision of Jack being killed by Kimika. He then decides to tell the group about his vision about Jack being killed. Jack realises that he will die by Kimika's hand and everyone begins to freak out but Jack says he isn't going to run or hide and that he's going to take pleasure in killing Kimika. Alice says "But Jack... If you fight, you'll die." and Jack says "Please. Have you met me? I'm not gonna let some raging bitch kill me." They near a clearing and Kara orders Alice to hide. Lily expresses her worry about Alice hiding alone and Kara promises that she'll be OK and that they need to stay focused. And just then they all see Kimika emerging from the other side of the clearing with vampires by her side, including Luca, Raymond, Lyle and Cathryn. Kimika says "So... It's time." Jai asks what's the plan and Kara tells him that she, Jack, Nora and Stephen will all approach Kimika alone to begin with. They start walking out and Kimika does the same and by her side is Raymond, Luca and Lyle. They come face to face and Kimika says "Hello, Kara." and Kara says "Kimika."

### **Chapter XXIV: Last Chances**

Kara tells Kimika that she should have stayed away from Saltwood and Ashington. Kimika then says "Don't look at me like I'm so bad. I know of your histroy, child." and Kara says "So does everyone. You're not special." Jack is not surprised that Luca has joined Kimika and Raymond gives him a mouthful as does Kimika for betraying family. Nora tells them that they're not family, that they're monsters who deserve to be killed. Stephen joins in her rant and tells Kimika she and her band of abombinations will all die. Kimika then says "Before we get started, would any of you like to leave and get away with your lives?" and Kara says "Fuck you, bitch." and begins to walk away with her group following her. Lyle then says "How dare she speak to you like that!" and out of anger, Lyle runs up to Stephen and rips out his heart, killing him. Nora screams as Stephen falls to the ground, dead. Kara looks up at Kimika and see's her smiling. With a battle cry, she charges towards her and Kimika does the same and they're both followed by their own groups, the battle finally starting.

### **Chapter XXV: The Final Battle**

The final battle follows as the hunters and vampires fight among themselves. Hunters fall, vampires fall, the body count rises. Alice emerges from the trees and starts using her abilities on the vampires, throwing them around and killing them. Lily goes full on huntress mode and builds up a body count of her own. Jack and Kimika are fighting, both of them doing an equal job. Luca and Charlie go for each other but Luca shows a soft spot, not putting up much of a fight.  Nora kills a vampire and spots Lyle fighting among a few hunters. He see's Nora and charges towards her and Nora does the same and the two have an epic battle and Todd helps her grab Lyle and Nora says "You killed my brother. Do you know how that felt?" and Lyle struggles to escape but he can't and Nora grabs her stake and plunges it into Lyle's heart, impaling him, forcing his heart to come out of his back. Nora says "It felt like that." and Lyle dies. Nora and Todd continue fighting. Luca tries to stop Charlie but before Charlie can kill Luca, Cathryn grabs Charlie and throws him off Luca. She helps him up and Luca thanks her. Todd continues fighting alongside his hunters when Raymond easily beheads him, killing him. He laughs and goes for the hunters, removing heads. Kara jumps onto Raymond and the two begin fighting. Meanwhile, Kimika has Jack on the ground and Hunter realises it's the same part of his vision. He shouts for someone to help him. Kimika has Jack on his knees, Cathryn is stalking towards Charlie ready to kill him, Jai is lying unconscious on the ground and Alice feels like they're going to lose. And so she uses her powers to rip up on loose pieces of wood and roots from the ground and lifts them up into the air, everyone notices this as the light blue lights shine around her. She turns towards the vampires and with a scream, she sends the wood flying into them, killing a majority of the vampires.

### **Chapter XXVI: It All Comes To An End**

Kimika cries over the loss of her clan. She then spies out Alice, who is still recovering after having used her telekinesis so much, and Kimika runs for her, grabbing Alice by the throat. Before she is able to kill the witch, Jack smacks Kimika across the head and the two begin fighting. Alice goes to use her powers to stop Kimika but she is stopped by Raymond who wraps his arm around her neck. But Alice manages to concentrate and free herself using her powers and then throws Raymond into a tree. Jack and Kimika continue fighting when Jack manages to pin Kimika down. Kimika laughs, telling Jack that he cannot kill due to her being older and stronger but Jack proves otherwise when he manages to keep Kimika down, digging his nails into her throat. Kimika thrashes to free herself, stating that Jack cannot overpower her and Jack says he can and he will before ripping out her throat, killing her. Jack then turns around to find the gang all watching closely. Charlie feels slightly uneasy but is glad that Jack managed to kill her. Jai, who is being held up by Lily and Alice, finally comes to, not knowing what's happened and asks if they win. The gang laugh and Alice kisses Jai. Kara, Micaiah and Nora then come over and Kara expresses her gratitude for them helping and promises that if they ever need her help, she'll always be there for them. The trio then walk away. Jack then tells the group that he isn't friends with them just because he helped and Beth warns Jack not to hurt anyone else in Ashington and Jack reveals that he's coming back to New Quays before walking off. Jai asks what they do now and Charlie says that they stick together because they need each other and together they can keep New Quays safe and Alice calls Charlie their leader which makes Charlie happy. Luca then gets up from the ground, still in shock as to what had happened and Charlie gives Luca the chance to get out while he can and Luca takes it. Charlie then turns back to his friends and says that they'll return back to New Quays now and they all walk off. Meanwhile, watching them from afar is Raymond, who promises that its not over and that he'll be back for vengeance before disappearing away into the forest.

## Trivia

* Since Hunted was the re-write / improvement of The Field Trip, Haven is technically an improvement of the original sequel to The Field Trip. The original sequel would follow the previous survivors returning to Saltwood to fight off the Wendigo with the help of military and the original sequel was heavily inspired by Aliens.
* The characters Nora, Stephen, Todd, Cathryn and Lyle were all last minute additions to the story. In the original plan, there is no mention of them at all.
* In the original planning for Haven, there were lots of plot changes, name changes and character changes: Lily Watson was originally named Amanda Becker, Emma Turner was originally named Claire Gates. Micaiah's father, who is revealed to have died previously, was meant to be one of the main antagonists of the book along with his henchwoman Paisley Heron. Kara Denalya's role was smaller in the original plan and she wasn't connected to the hunters as much, instead she was more in favor of helping the original gang. There was meant to be flashbacks to different time periods but that was scrapped as it began drifting away from the main story and too many side characters were getting the attention. Sam Flores never existed in the original planning. Instead a character named Lucille was meant to exist and had a largely similar role to Sam and her role was meant to be larger but it was scrapped during all the changes.
* There were only meant to be 26 parts to Haven but the last chapter was separated into two chapters as it was too long and it worked better to have it in two split chapters.
* Since in the original planning, Lily Watson was called Amanda Becker, she was also never meant to be a Huntress. Her original character was very much like Alice and she was meant to have taken over as the new bitch in school. This was all changed as Amanda seemed like a direct copy of Alice instead of her own character.
* In the original plan for Haven, Alice was also meant to be abused by her father. However this was cut from the final version as this arc would've gone unsolved and nowhere, rendering it pointless.
* There were originally meant to be lots of flashbacks in the original plan, from the 90's and early 2000's but like many other things, this was cut from the final plan.
* Jai and Kara were originally meant to form a close relationship that Alice was meant to become envious of but this was changed as it didn't look right for someone in their late twenties to start a relationship with a high school student.
