"Welcome to our hotel. Would you like tea miss?", Nina says laughing.
"Shut up Nina", Kaci seems angry.
"This sucks guys. We are supposed to be on a summer camp. Not a military camp",Says Sinthia.
"Ugh!! Let's run away", I say crossing my hands.
"Where?", Rosa asks.
"Anywhere but here. Look at this. It looks exactly like our house. We could just play uno in my room the whole summer. I bet that'd be more fun"
"Girls time for dinner!", Mrs Neil shouts.
"Coming", all in chorus.
The dining hall is massive. We find us a table.
"No no no dear girls that table is not for our school. We sit this side," Mrs Neil runs towards us.
"What? Aren't we supposed to get along?"
"Yes but we can't sit with them".
"Why?"
Before I could ask anymore the lights go off. And guess what Kyle appears wearing a funky magician hat.
"Behold!! I'm gonna show you all a great magic trick that's gonna blow your mind."
"Booooooo".
"You look hilarious", someone screams.
"Who wears velvet hat?"
"Also it's purple"
Everyone laughs. Kyle seems uncomfortable.
"Get down here Kyle. Stop making a fool of yourself for God's sake", Mr wright seems annoyed.
After dinner Mrs Neil sends us upstairs to sleep. But who sleeps in a summer camp? We bring all those snacks and sneak in the room next to ours. Everyone's already there. We have Mila, Reilly and Beth here. They are not exactly in our group but we are pretty close.
We make a tent with chairs, pillows and blankets. Then start playing. The rule is simple. Everyone tells a horror story then we vote who's story is better. Winner gets all the cookies.
Beth wins this round. Here comes the second part. We will hide our snacks. Then we split up and look for hidden snacks. It's called snack hunting.
I'm now in the hall. Looking for the coka cola bottles Sinthia hid. To be honest I'm a bit scared after hearing all those stories. I can hear my own heartbeat. Suddenly I hear someone crying. OMG! It it the crying lady Reilly told us about? I can hear the footsteps. God save me!!
"Who's there?", I'm really scared now.
"Come out. Whoever it is guys it's not funny".
I hear footsteps coming towards me. I'm about to pass out of fear. Rosa appears out of nowhere scaring the shit out of me. She's shaking in fear and crying. I should have known. She gets scared easily.
"OMG Rosa are you ok?"
"Tazz take me with you", she says crying.
"I'm so sorry. We shouldn't have let you go alone. Come with me."
Both of us take off our slippers so that we don't scare anyone. We found coka cola cans. Now we're going for the crisps. We walk down the stairs. We see Sinthia in the living room. Good thing she didn't see us.
"Rosa listen to me. I'm gonna get behind Sinthia and scare her. When I get near her you drop this bottle to startle her, ok?"
"Ok"
I go tip toe. Just a few more steps and I'm gonna scare her to death. Wait a min!! Someone's behind her. I didn't notice from far but there's already someone standing behind her. Alright! I'm gonna stand here and wait then scare both of them at once. Double score!
I sit behind the sofa and wait for right moment. That person getting near her slowly. Now that I see her from close I don't remember any of my friends being this tall. Wait a min! It's a guy! Is it Kyle pulling another prank? No this can't be Kyle. He's shorter and well built. This guy seems taller and Skinner than him. Who is it? Is it Mikhail? I see him standing right behind Sinthia. What is he doing?
He's slowly pulling out something. A piece of cloth. Oh no!! I look at Rosa she also figured out what's happening. There's no time I have to jump on him. There I go. But I was too late he already grabbed Sinthia and covered her nose with that cloth.
"Mikhail!!!". I was really loud my voice sounds like thunder.
He gets startled for a moment then runs. Rosa tries to catch him but he's too strong and push her away.
"Sinthia what he did to you?"
"Beth, Kaci , Nina come out something happened to Sinthia", Rosa screams.
I hear everyone running to us. Someone clicks the light switch.
"OMG did you scare her?"
"No"
"Then why did she faint?"
"Someone was here. He tried to kidnap her. He had a scarf that he used to make her unconscious"
"What is happening here?", I hear Mrs Neil screaming.
Other girls run out of their rooms as well.
"Mrs Neil there was an intruder. He tried to kidnap Sinthia", Rosa says crying.
"Who was it?"
"Mikhail"
"What!! Him?"
"That's a lie", Mikhail walks in. "I'd never do that. I was having a conversation with Mr Drew. Ask him if you like."
"Rosa did you see him trying to kidnap Sinthia?"
"No Mrs Neil I... I heard tazz shouting his name... It was dark...and..and..."
"Tazz did you see him?"
"No Mrs Neil it was dark I didn't see his face but it seemed like....
"So you're just lying", Mikhail smirks. "Mrs Neil you need to behave your students. This is humiliating".
"I'm so sorry Mikhail",Mrs Neil looks ashamed. "Tazz apologize to him"
"What the f***!!!". He turned the tables on me.
"Language tazz!!"
"Mrs Neil you should ask them what they were doing here this late", Mikhail points at us.
"That's right it's almost 2am. What were you doing?"
"But Mrs Neil..."
"Shut up Kaci. Everyone go to your rooms. Take Sinthia upstairs I'll go get the nurse. No more strolling around at night. Now go"
What is happening here? Our friend almost got kidnapped and we're the ones getting scolded? This summer can't get any worse.
