Although Alex started to feel more comfortable around Jayden, he still did not trust her at all. So, a few minutes after he went to sleep, he decided to wake up to check up on her. But, when he did, he found out that she was nowhere to be found.
At first, he was really outraged that she would skip out on such an important duty such as keeping them safe while they slept. But, he gave her the benefit of the doubt thinking:
'She probably went out to take a piss or something, I should maybe go check on her.'
So, he left the cave, spear in hand, and began looking for Jayden in the deep dark forest which he then realized was a bad idea as he was so used to parson's night vision. Then, all of a sudden, he heard a loud scream of pain that sounded really human, followed up by many crashes. It was no doubt the sound of a battlefield.
