"Don't worry Sofia, you have four strong guys to protect you well actually just me. I'm the strongest guy here," Tom said flexing his muscles.
"Ha! Do you understand wolves are pack animals right? Some wolf packs only have two wolves; most contain six wolves and some wolf packs have ten wolves. Just saying you may be "strong" but you would get ripped to shreds in a heartbeat," she informed.
"Small and smart; I like that," Tom smiled as she cringed.
"Not interested," she informed.
"There was a cop that helped me and max get to a motel, I heard a wolf for sure but just one. The guy said they are overpopulated so they could be just moving around the woods," Rose informed as Maxwell nodded in agreement.
"I haven't seen any signs of wolves or heard a howl in the middle of the night so I think it is just people trying to scare us into behaving. I think we should have a party! Come on guys it's the last day of summer and most of us won't see each other again," Roy informed.
"Not a bad idea, I could try to find some alcohol. there has to be some around here," Tom smiled.
"I could find fireworks!' Casey put in.
"There should be some leftover food here, we will need some dinner for tonight," Jacob added.
"Guys he told us to stay in the cabin. Sorry, I'm the party pooper here but I'm not going out camping in the woods where there are wolves that want to eat. We also need to fix the car," Sophie said greatly annoyed.
"Don't worry about the car let's have some fun tonight!" Tom cheered.
"I'm I the only adult here really?!" she muttered annoyed as she lifted the hood of the car and looked at the motor.
"We can have an adult party but here's the thing, no sex, immature games like truth or dare or spin the bottle. No one goes into the woods alone for any reason and everyone has to carry a small knife or weapon on them at all times. There might be hunters out to kill the wolves so we stay at the campground or in the cabin," Rose informed.
"Who put you in charge?!" Casey asked.
"I did because I can't drink, it will kill me. I have a condition that makes it lethal for me," she explained.
"But you know all those kid's games are the best!" Tom pouted.
"Tom stop it already please, we all know you want my fiance. You are just not happy she chose me over you," Max informed.
"Honestly I wouldn't date him either, way too short for my liking. The shortest guy here has an ego of a chihuahua," Roy said.
"Rotor arm? what the heck does that do?!" Sofia asked.
"Well since Mis party pooper doesn't want to join us she can stay here by herself, I'm going to look for fireworks," Casey smiled as part of the group split off to get things they needed while Sofia was desperately trying to find a way to fix the problem at hand but Tom stayed behind feeling bad about the situation.
"You want to talk about it?" Tom asked as Sofia was looking three the manual.
"Not interested in your "help", someone took the arm so we would have to stay here I'm sure of it," Sofia said looking at where the arm should be.
"So what? Why are you wanting to leave so badly?" Tom asked.
"Some people have families to go back to, my mom had hip surgery last week and she needs me to be home. Not here parting with a bunch of people I don't know and possibly getting pregnant," she said angrily.
"Come on Sofia you have been so wound up lately. Loosen up and have some fun already!" Tom smiled.
"I'm fine by myself thanks, why don't you go back to the very toxic love triangle you found yourself in, oh wait you aren't bisexual so it's a love angle," she said as she slammed the hood down.
"Sofia, something else is bothering you. I know I mistook you for one of the kids here making you upset at me possibly for as long as I exist; but look I have never seen you act this way before. I know we aren't exactly friends here but I could at least try to help you. I'm not as bad as I make myself out to be, I just like messing around with people," he explained.
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you, anyway I also have some personal family problems I have to take care of but being here might make them worse than they already are... I just need to go home, well to what's left of it anyway," he sighed as she looked at Maxwell's and Rose's car.
She paused as she saw the temperature gauge was broken on it.
"I'm sorry Sofia, I don't go back to college for a while so if you need anything let me know okay," he said as she rolled her eyes thinking he was just acting this way to get into her pants.
"Why now are you being so nice to me? You barely talked to me the entire time we have been here and now all of a sudden you are worried about my home life? Please stop pretending to care okay, getting laid is not what I'm interested in especially not with a guy that flirts with every girl he can get his hands on. I'm not that person nor will I ever be," she started as she put that hood down and went to the cabin.
That's when they heard a wolf howling off in the distance. Sofia sighed as Tom looked at her kind of concerned.
"Do you still want that party?" she asked before entering the cabin still annoyed.
"Maybe no fireworks, just in case," Tom said as he went to get some supplies for the party.
"Casey can you please actually do something than just sitting there on your phone?" Roy asked he picked up the lock and went to the freezer.
"You think the beer is in the freezer so you look. I have to catch up on my blogs you know," she said as he went in the freezer to find a whole bunch of meat hanging from hooks and no alcohol once soever.
"You know since this will be our final day together we could have our final time together maybe," he said as she looked up from her phone.
"Not happening, not in a million years," she said as she got up and looked around.
"Come on, we can do it in the office," he chuckled.
He got out of the freezer but then something caught his eye. He found a suitcase hidden away under some wrapped meat. He pulled out the silver suitcase and opened it up to find a handgun in it with bullets. The bullets were silver which was odd but it must have been an expensive gift. Why would he hide it in a freezer of all places?
"Hey, I found a gun and bullets!" Roy informed.
"Nice, I found nothing. There can't be any wolves around here, right? I mean I have not heard anything and you know I sneak out sometimes," she informed as she looked around the kitchen.
"Hey, guys I heard a wolf! Can we have no fireworks please?" Tom asked as Jacob scoffed listing to a podcast.
"Idiot, vampires can only be killed by steaks to the heat and sunlight," he chuckled as he took out his earbuds.
"You aren't scared of running with the wolves are you?" Roy asked.
"This isn't funny, I don't want to get killed tonight also Roy I also need to talk to you," Tom informed.
"Girl trouble Tom?" Casey chuckled.
"No, I just want to see if he can help me with some firewood," he explained.
"Uh... firewood that's so lame. but I guess I can, don't understand why you can't ask Maxwell. He's probably fucking around with Rose... Dude free porno!" Roy chuckled.
"Okay, that's nasty as hell. I wish I could in hear that. I would love to help you get firewood," Jacob informed.
"I really um need to talk to Rou," he said as Rou rolled his eyes.
"Fine," Roy said annoyed as he took the suitcase and placed it on the table.
They went outside and Tom took a deep breath and sighed.
"I need you to fix the car, I know you wanted one last fling with your ex-girlfriend but Sofia needs to go home. She is having some family troubles and being here isn't good for her," Tom informed.
"My God Tom, chill out. It's too late I threw it away, I had to get rid of the evidence," he explained.
"You are the dumbest person I have ever met in my entire life! what happens if one of us gets hurt! Where is the part?!" he inquired greatly annoyed.
"In the lake..." he answered making Tom facepalm.
"Why did I think this was a good idea?! I can't believe you did that!" He growled.
"Look no one is going to get hurt okay, plus you know you can maybe finally have some Sofia and Tom time I'd you get my drift. You have been avoiding her a lot and the only reason why I could think is that you care about her," Roy chuckled.
"I don't like her in that way!" he growled.
"Really? Then why do you get upset every time I bring it up. Face it, you are all talk and no action. You might not want to admit that you are into girls that look like there twelve," Roy laughed.
Tom was trying very hard not to hit him but that was the final straw. He was about to hit Roy when Sofia came out with a gun scaring both of the guys. She looked at them both oddly as Tom quickly took the gun from her.
"Sofia really?! You could have killed someone with this rifle! I really don't understand why Americans feel the need to have a gun like that here at a camp!" Tom sighed.
"Bears, wolves, snakes, I can think of a few reasons to have a gun like this here. Also, I found another one in his private office. I shot a skunk back home that had rabies and I have had some practice with a gun. Stacey said she can teach us how to use it properly just in case something happens and we need to defend ourselves," she informed.
"Sofia honestly doesn't think we have anything to worry about. I know we both heard a wolf but it was just a wolf. They are more afraid of us than we are of them I think. Plus we will be careful not to catch their attention," he reassured.
"Wow what a fast turn, you were worried about the wolves and wanted no fireworks but now you are all of a sudden, not afraid of them," Roy chuckled.
"Can it Roy! Trying to make her feel better that's all," he muttered.
"We are among the wolves and the wild forces of nature. Yeah totally scared right now but you are right don't want a wolf coming around and ruining our fun," Roy information he went back inside the main cabin.
"Jackass I swear, anyway I'm going to get some firewood I think Max and Rose are getting some but since there are a lot of us might as well stock up," she sighed.
"Well Rose told us not to go into the woods alone so I could go with you if you wanted," Tom suggested and she sighed.
"Well, Jacob is busy making dinner, and Roy and Casey are getting drinks. Stacey I guess is exploring the place or doing whatever she is doing. I guess you can but only this once! If you flirt with me I will knee you in the balls!" she growled.
"Agreed, for such a sweet person you can be violent," he muttered.
"The nice ones are the ones you have to look out for always. When we get mad, it's just better if you run," she information as they both headed to the woods for wood.
