"Ahhhh Finally, the rain has stopped" said Maddie as she walked out of her room, and she looked up into the sky, all the clouds were gone and replaced with the bright shining sun.
"I actually missed the sun for a while" she said as she laughed, people could never be satisfied, either they complained of one thing, and when they got what they wanted, they complained of another thing.
And this was the case right here, the shining sun used to be scorching and Maddie would always complain of the heat, and yet when the rain started she complained of it been so dark and gloomy.
"I thought you hated the heat" said Annie
"Yes that was then, but now I realized that I would rather take the heat than the non-stop, unpredictable rain" said Maddie
"Haha, well okay if you say so" said Annie as she laughed at her unsatisfied friend.
"Hey, what about you??? didn't you hate the sun too??" asked Maddie
"Well not really, I like the rain, and the sun, and also the cold" said Annie as she laughed.
"I mean different weathers are all beautiful" said Annie
"I wish I could be as tolerant as you" said Maddie as she was honestly a bit jealous of Annie's carefree attitude, Annie could easily go with anything, and Maddie always scolded herself for not being able to change or adapt quickly.
"Haha don't Maddie, you don't have to, we all are different, we cannot be the same or else we would all just be robots" said Annie as she laughed.
"Haha yes, you are right about that" said Maddie as she laughed.
"Besides, I also wish that I could be as strong, as bold and as confident as you" said Annie
"No way" said Maddie as she thought that she was the only one who wanted to be like someone else.
"Haha yes way" said Annie as she laughed.
"It's only normal that people look for good characteristics that others have while they don't" said Annie
"But we just have to be careful and make sure that we don't loose ourselves trying to be someone else" said Annie
"Annie are you sure you are sixteen??" asked Maddie as she just had to know.
"You are talking like an old grandma, that sounds like something Aunt Stella would say, and I don't mean that she's old, I mean she's wise" said Maddie.
"Haha Maddie, I mean you were there on my Birthday" said Annie as she laughed.
"No, because how are we sure that you are not sixty seven??" asked Maddie
"Wait what??? no no no" said Annie
"I don't want to be sixty seven... I mean not just yet" said Annie as she laughed.
"And why would you just say sixty seven out of the blue???" asked Annie
"I don't know, the number was just calling out to me" said Maddie as she laughed.
"No way, no way, sixty seven, ewww, I would be all old and...." said Annie as she laughed.
"What about sixty seven??" asked Matt as he joined Annie and Maddie
"Oh Hi Matt" said Maddie as she smiled at Matt.
"I was just talking about how Annie is actually a sixty seven year old" said Maddie as she laughed.
"Wait what??" asked Matt as he looked shocked and he looked at Annie.
"Umm is it a Grey thing or???" he asked as at this point anything could be possible, believe him, he knew.
"What Noooo!!" said Annie as she shied away and covered her face with her hands, the mere look of surprise and acceptance on Matt's face made her very embarrassed.
"So are you sixty seven or not?" asked Matt as he needed to be sure.
"Noooo, I'm not sixty seven" said Annie as she felt like being swallowed up by the ground right now, if that enchanted mud just suddenly appeared she would jump in it happily.
"Haha Matt, rest assured, Annie is not sixty seven" said Maddie as she looked at Matt and winked, she knew what he was thinking about.
He was probably thinking about his and Annie's age gap if she was sixty seven, to be honest that would be seriously weird, thought Maddie to herself.
"I was just joking on how Annie has the smart mind of a sixty seven year old, and nothing else" said Maddie
"Ooooh Phew, I see, that was a close one" said Matt as he sighed in relief and Maddie laughed, she could have taken this a step further, but no she did not, because she was a good friend.
"Oh so you are saying that we cannot be friends if I actually was sixty seven??" asked Annie as she finally calmed herself down and she looked at Matt.
"Oh no no, of course not" said Matt as he laughed sheepishly, and Annie gave him a look that spelt "Mhmm, why don't I believe you?".
"Haha of course we would still be friends regardless of your age" said Matt
"Besides you forget that I age double every ten years, so I am sure that I would have caught up to you soon" said Matt.
"Oh yes I forgot about that" said Maddie as she laughed, since Matt was half vampire, half witch, his aging process was sped up, and he aged double every ten years, according to what Lucas had told them.
"Haha you really thought of a way out didn't you?" asked Annie as she laughed.
"Of course" said Matt as he laughed.
"Besides you should know that I would go anywhere with you, regardless of if you are sixty seven or not" said Matt as he smiled, and Annie smiled back at him.
"*Ahem*" said Maddie as she cleared her throat, she felt like a third wheel, with the way these two were looking into each other's eyes, it made her feel a bit jealous.
"Guys I still exist" she said
"Ahh" said Annie as she looked away immediately.
"Haha of course you do Maddie" said Matt as he laughed at the way Annie looked away, and he looked at Maddie.
"Gosh, If I didn't know any better, I would think that you two were...." said Maddie
"Maddie that's enough" said Annie as she looked at Maddie with a warning gaze.
"Okay okay alright, gosh don't kill me" said Maddie and Matt looked at Annie, and she quickly smiled at him which made him laugh, these two were very funny when they were not fighting.
"Anyway" said Maddie as she looked at Annie.
"Matt what do you think about the weather?" asked Maddie
"Oh well I love it now, to be honest my ears were aching very badly with the non-stop rain" said Matt
"Haha and what did Curtis say?" asked Maddie as she remembered that Curtis and Matt were roommates.
"Well you know how he is" said Matt
"He said that I needed to learn how to deal with it" said Matt as he sighed.
"Awww that sounds mean of him" said Annie as she laughed.
"Annie you should know by now that your Curtis is only always nice to you, and you alone" said Maddie as she laughed.
"No that's not true, he likes you guys too" said Annie
"Haha are you sure?" asked Maddie and Annie nodded.
"Okay fine that might be true, but he does not care for us as much as he cares for you" said Maddie
"That is understandable, he is your guardian after all" said Matt
"Haha okay okay, but he does care for you both too, just know that" said Annie
"Haha of course, we do" said Maddie.
Just in that instant, throughout the whole camp, a mighty tremor could be felt, it shook the ground underneath them, and it caused everyone to loose their balance and fall straight to the ground.
All except for Matt who stood his ground, and he caught Maddie with his left arm, and Annie with his right arm, and he supported them both.
"Thank you Matt" said Annie as she steadied herself, if not for Matt catching her, she would have hit the ground face first.
"Are you both okay??" asked Matt as the tremor stopped momentarily.
"I'm good" said Maddie as she steadied herself.
"I am fine" said Annie
"What was that??" asked Matt as he let the girls go
"I have no idea" said Annie as this was the first time she had felt the ground so unstable.
"Maybe it was an earthquake??" asked Maddie
"I doubt it, if it was I should have heard it coming" said Matt as he was sure he heard nothing.
"Hmm maybe it's--" said Annie as she was cut off.
Immediately without anyone knowing, the barrier was suddenly broken and it was like glass shattered everywhere, Matt immediately covered his ears from the loud frequency and he did not have time to try to protect Annie and Maddie.
But to their luck it seemed like they had only heard glass shatter and there was no glass anywhere.
"What just happened??" asked Maddie.
"I think our barrier just broke" said Annie as she looked up at the sky and it suddenly turned dark.
"What's going on??" asked Maddie.
"I don't know" said Matt as he uncovered his ears.
"Annie, Annie" called Curtis as he ran, Annie looked back as she saw him.
"Curtis??? what's wrong??" she asked as she had never seen him run before.
"Annie, we need to go now" said Curtis as for one he looked panicked, and that scared Annie.
"You guys too, we need to go" said Curtis as he looked at Matt and Maddie.
"What??? why?? is something wrong??" asked Annie as she knew that those were all stupid questions to be asking right now, but she had to know what was going on.
"Look Annie, I cannot explain now," said Curtis
"But believe me, when I say that we have to go right now!!" said Curtis
"Okay fine, let's go" said Annie as she could see the uneasiness in Curtis's eyes.
"But what about my parents??" asked Annie worriedly.
"We will meet up with them, but for now, the four of us need to go" said Curtis
"Follow me" he said as he ran, and they all followed behind him, totally oblivious to the fact that things were about to change drastically.
