I screeched to a stop. Swung around. And ran
back toward my sister.
I could see her sprawled facedown on the
ground. She was kicking her legs hard, pounding
the grass with both fists.
"Boone-help me!" she cried.
And then I saw the silvery snake wrapped
around her ankle. And the other snakes wrig
gling close behind her.
"Stop moving! Freeze!" I shouted to her.
Then I dove to the ground. Landed hard on

shuddered.
I lowered the cottonmouth to the ground s
hurled it toward the other snakes. Then I grabbed
Heather's hand and pulled her away.
She darted into her cabin. Then I ran to my
cabin-one flip-flop off, one flip-flop on. Sid and
Kelly were already inside. I slammed the door
shut behind me.
They had their faces pressed against the cabin
window. I pushed up between my two new friends
and squinted out the window. I stared out onto
the path. Shadows shifted. The moonlight
faded.
No snakes.
We still hadn't said a word.
I shut my eyes and pictured those venomous
snakes slowly unwinding in the counselors' beds.
Again, I saw the sheets move and those snakes
rise up, angry that we had awakened them.
Too weird," I muttered. "It's all too weird"
Sid and Kelly nodded their heads. Their faces
were tight with fear.
My chest felt fluttery. My body was covered in
a cold sweat.
Tomorrow," I said. "Tomorrow at breakiast,
m going to find Nathan. I'm going to force him
to talk. Il'm going to make him tell us whats up
with this camp.
We talk to Nathan before breakfast. He came into
the cabin and woke us up by playing a kazono in
our enrs
Yawning, I glanced out the window. The sun
was just rising oVer the trees,
"Rise and shine!" Nathan chanted, "Rise and
shine, guya! He began spraying us with Sun-Glo.
I dropped to the floor, My pajama bottoms
were all twisted. I shielded my eyes from the
spray. "Give me a break!" I shouted
Nathan laughed. He started tooting his kazoo

to you," I said.
"We went to your cabin last night," Sid said.
"Where were you?"
"Yeah, where were the counselors?" I
demanded. "Your cabin was filled with snakes."
"Poisonous snakes, Kelly said.
The three of us surrounded him. We stood
with our fists on our hips, watching him, waiting
for answers.
Nathan blinked. "T'ake a breath," he said.
"What were you guys doing out last night?"
Just answer our questions,"I said.
T don't know anything about snakes," Nathan
We were camping. All the counselors. We
slept in tents down by the lake."
I stared at him. Was he lying!
