Y/N's P.O.V.

I open my eyes and stretch out my arms. I climb down my ladder to see Harrison was still sleeping. I quietly hop to the floor and creep up to his head. I lean in over his ear. 

"..."

He slept like a little baby. Aww. "WAKE UP SLEEPYHEAD!!" I scream as loud as I can.

Harrison throws his head up, head butting my nose, sending me scuttling backwards. "Ow ow ow ow ow."

He panics and asks quickly between gasps, "What's going on?! What's happening?".

I rub the tip of my nose. "Nothing. This turned out less funny than I thought it would."

His breathing slows down. "You got me. Next time, even there's a big fire, I'm not getting up."

"You would. You would smell the fire and get up to run away."

"No. I would just lay down and die in a fire."

"I'd pick you up and carry you away."

"You're not that strong."

"I'll drag you." 

"You'll get tired."

"That's a price I'm willing to pay."

"Okay," He ends the hypothetical.

He hops out of bed and I ask, "So. Any idea of what we should do today?".

"No. What about you?".

"Eh. I don't think."

Harrison exhales out of his nose loudly and we continue to stand there. I suggest, "Let's go take a walk. Maybe something'll happen then."

"Sure!".

We walk out of the tent and see some of the kids playing baseball. Nikki sees me and Harrison. "Hey guys! Wanna come play baseball with us?".

I look at Harrison, who shrugs. I yell back, "Sure!".

We ended up not even getting in a team. We were backups in case someone got hurt. I would rather be going on a boring hike than a boring game. At least I could talk to Harrison or watch the game. One thing that was interesting about this activity was the fact that they used grenades instead of normal baseballs. I ask Max, "Where did you guys find the grenades?".

He replies bluntly, "The Quarter Master's store."

Nikki goes up to bat. Nurf was the umpire. Erid throws a pitch. Nikki smacks it with a wooden plank she found on the ground earlier. The grenade hits the planks with a loud 'THUD'. It gets sent flying up into the air. Then, it starts to descend. Right into the Counselors' Cabin.

David calls for an assembly. After about ten minutes, he's able to get all of the campers in order. I see a man that looked exactly like David, except with bleach blonde hair, ice-cold blue eyes, and freezing snow-white clothes. 

The cold man just stands there as David tells us the difference between a baseball and a dangerous weapon. He asks, "So! Any questions?".

Almost everyone raises their hand. I assume all for the same thing. David goes, "Yes. Max."

"Who the fuck is that?!" Max asks, pointing at the colder David.

David tells us that his name is Daniel, and that he's our new co-counselor. Daniel greets us, "Howdy kiddos!".

His head turns a little too far and you could hear his neck pop. His smile was just a little too wide for comfort. His piercing ice eyes stared us all down like a hunter finding its next prey in the 2 seconds they looked at us. I become unnerved. I could feel spiders crawling up and down my spine.

Max goes, "You've got to be shitting me."

I turn my head to Harrison. He looks very uncomfortable, just like the rest of the group. I felt a little uneasy about this guy too. Just something didn't quite fit with this guy.

I elbow Harrison in the arm. I ask, "Can we go back to that walk?".

Harrison turns to me and nods. We were able to sneak through the main entrance without making too much noise.

We successfully fled the area. I tell Harrison, "That dude's definitely not here for the paycheck."

"Yeah."

I let out a loud breath. I see David walking towards the Counselor's Cabin. He left Daniel with the other campers! Oh well. They were dead to me anyways. I'm gonna miss Neris though. I ask Harrison, "Should we go try to save them?".

"What could we do?".

"Don't you have a saw or something?".

"I lost it."

"Dammit Harrison."

Harrison whimpers and I pat his shoulder, "Oh well. Do you have anything else?".

"No. I don't think so."

I hear someone behind us. "Ahem."

I whip my head back to the voice in fear. It was Daniel.
