She goes to Derek for help with Emma but doesn't always know the best way or time to ask for it.

If you don't stand up to your fears, they will destroy you. When five kids are invited to a cemetery at midnight, they think it's just a prank.

A shark in the water. A ghost in the walls. A nightmare of being buried alive. A snake about to strike. A sinister clown waiting in the woods. Once these fears are released, they won't go away. Not without a fight....
