[b] The Cabin - The Scouts/The Pack/Cabin Group [/b]

Sylar watched Enrique closely, waiting to see what he would do. Every word Enrique spoke sent anger through Sylar's body, and with the anger came grief as well. He could see the burning ash pile that used to be Myriah's home, as well as the ruins of Enrique and Amanda's home. He'd always hated Enrique, but he was quite fond of Amanda. She was a diligent girl and she was unshakable. In a way, Sylar admired her. She had the traits that he lacked. 

She had been too good for Enrique. The man was insane; a bloodthirsty killer. He had seen it with his own eyes; all that would satisfy his seemingly insatiable wrath was the blood of others. He came to the conclusion that right now; there was nothing different about him. He would put a bullet in the back of Danny's head if Sylar made a move to fight back. He turned his back to Enrique and his boys; he knew Enrique was petty enough to shoot a man in the back. "Cody." 

"Whatever happens in the next few moments; whoever gets hurt, whoever faces loss; you don't shoot. None of you." He commanded all of the scouts. "That's an order." 

"Sylar-"

"Do what I say, Cody!" Sylar barked. He turned away from the scouts and faced the trucks in the woods. "Enrique, I called you a coward; While I still believe that to be true, I have to admit my cowardice as well." He slowly formed the words to the biggest lie he'd ever told. "I burned the houses; I killed Amanda. It... was... me." He stepped off of the road and towards the men. "Danny didn't do anything to you! It was all me! So don't be a coward and hide behind hostages!" Sylar said, throwing down his crossbow. 

"Let's settle this like real men. Drop your gun and come fight me; no guns. Just a fight to the death. If I die, the scouts leave, and you can rest in peace knowing that you've avenged your love. If you die, I will kill every last one of these men... Starting with Colton." 

"What do you say, Rambo? Fight me to the death."
