It was a long journey from their school to the camping site. Tom and Tony talked all the time and the rest didn't talk at all, they just stayed silent, or laughed once in a while because of something stupid they came up with. Jack and Einstein tried to throw stuffs at drivers at the back, then giggled if someone got hit and became angry. Pam looked out the window, with her deep thinking mode turned on. Jessica kept eating Doritos and took a sip in her hot chocolate bottle every now and then.

The camping site's name was Lavender Town, it was a cheap place to rent for a camping trip. Back in its days, which were probably twenty years ago, people used to consider it the most beautiful camping site in the States. It was located next to a stunning lavender field, and that was where the camping site got its name, well, the lavender field used to be stunning, by the time this story happened, the field had already turned into an empty area with dead plants and dried up flowers. No one even bothered to reclam the field, after fifteen years of opening, the place was no longer a tourist attraction, and was officially considered haunted after three death incidents. Even though it had been considered haunted, it was still on bussiness.

"They say that there used to be a hospital next to the lavender field. But as time passed by, doctors, nurses and patients in that hospital died mysteriously, and people no longer came there. The hospital was abandoned and closed in 1995, which was exactly the year the camping site started bussiness." Mia read aloud the informations that she had gathered on the internet about the camping site and its terrifying history.

"Cool! Maybe we should search for ghosts there or something, it's going to be fun!" Jack joked and laughed as he threw another piece of trash out of the window.

"C'mon kids, this ain't no real info. Now get down, it's your place." The black bus driver stopped at the sign with the words "Lavender Town." He read it out loud.

A moment of silent past by.

"Magnificent. Magnificent desolation." Jessica quoted Buzz Aldrin, she was totally into the creepiness of the camping site.

There was nothing but an area of ground and grass, two poles with the sign nailed on them which said "Lavender Town" in a flickering neon light.

"You sure this is the place?" Nelson glanced at the bus driver in suspense.

"Yep, totally sure. This Gary ain't lie." Gary, the bus driver, answered "But one thing, you sure you want to go here? This place is creepy as hell, I can still drive you back ya know."

"No thanks." Tony said, jumped off the bus "Finally, fresh air. ooh, what's that smell?"

"Smells like bacon." Johnny said, pointing at the girl who looked not much older than them standing next to a grill "Over there!"

"Hey Jess, still got those marshmallows?" Jack turned around to ask Jessica.

"Yeah, sure thing." Jessica opened her backpack and was taking out a bag of white marshmallows when blood suddenly dropped from one of her open cuts to the bag. For that day, she'd chosen an oversized blood-red hoodie, but blood could still drip from her cuts "Shit!" She swore, looking around, no body noticed. Jessica secretly wiped the blood drop, then gave it to Jack, and hid her arm as quickly as possible.

"Guys, marshmallows coming!" Jack ran to the group who were talking to the girl next to the grill.

"Jack, dude, you totally have to talk to her, she rocks!" Noah said, excited.

"Hi, my name's Geeta."
