The mystery bodies

Chapter 3

"Dear god no!" exclaimed Mia. Suddenly the shadow disappeared. 

"I swear to god - wtf was that?!" said Leona. 

"Ok so this is completely off topic, but Leona you do realize you're the only who swears right?" said Oliver.

"Ok Oli, first of all I know that second of all - its so damn satisfying! Just try it come on!" replied Leona.

"Wow wow, slow down bitch". he said.

"Ah you see? You sweared! Also now you'll never stop heeehee". answered Leona. 

"Ah shit didn't mean to - DEAR GOD I DID IT AGAIN DIDN'T I?!" he said.

"Sure did bitch". Leona said, smiling.

"Alright yeah yeah, but what in the world was that shadow!?" interrupted Isabelle.

"Am I the only one who thought that it looked like our history teacher?" said Noah.

"OMG YES!!!" exclaimed Mia. 

"Ok so y'all are telling me that shadow is our history teacher. Common sense people, common sense jesus". said Isabelle, snapping her fingers. 

"Mhm yeah but we need to inspect these bodies. Lets go back to the cabin, grab our kit, split up to look for tracks of the bodies and then meet up right here again". proposed Oliver.

"Great idea. We'll meet back here in half an hour ok?" said Leona. Everyone nodded. They all went back to their cabin grabbed their inspection kits and split up. Leona and Noah went North, Isabelle and Oliver went East, and Mia and Aiden went South. A half hour later, Leona and Noah went back to where the bodies where, they hadn't found anything. Then, Mia and Aiden came, no tracks either. They waited around 15 minutes for Isabelle and Oliver, but they still hadn't come.

"Could something have happened to them?" asked Mia, with a worried look on her face.

"Maybe". answered Noah. 

"Wait you guys, look!" whispered Leona, pointing to the shadow that had re-appeared. 

"Wait. Isn't that Oliver's photography camera?" Noah said pointing to the shadow. 

"And Izzy's blond hair and blue headband?" noticed Mia.

"Ah shit". said Aiden.

"What are we going to do?" asked Leona. Suddenly, the shadow started getting closer to them. 

"FUCK!!!! RUN!!!!!!" Leona yelled. They all ran at full speed and hid behind a large pine tree. The shadow looked around, and gave up. After a couple minutes, they came out of their hiding spot.

"How the hell are we gonna get them back?" asked Noah. 

"Idk maybe lure the shadow into like a trap, like sticky glue or something?" proposed Mia.

"Aight. That ain't such a bad idea". said Aiden. Leona looked over at the dead bodies again. 

"WAIT. THERE ARE ONLY 10 LEFT!!!!" she yelled.

"Wait wait wait. I can't be the only one who realized that whenever the shadow is there, the dead body at the very end of the line of dead bodies disappears right?!" whisper-shouted Noah.

"Wait, so you mean one of them is alive?" asked Mia, worried.

"It's possible..". Aiden said, looking at the bodies again.

"AW FUCK THEY'RE MOVING!!!!!!! RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" he shouted. They all ran back to their cabin and locked the door. After a while, Noah broke the silence.

"I looked it up on my phone, apparently, they weren't dead at all. It was just a trap to lure us closer and catch us. Their tactic is called 'The 11 bodies or so'. Izzy and Oli must have gotten lured in and captured by them. It doesn't say anything about what they do to them though". he said.

"So that's why they disappeared". replied Leona. Suddenly they heard muffled voices coming from outside their cabin. Aiden peeked over from the window. He saw again Isabelle's blond hair and Oliver's photography camera. 

"Help! Help!" the voices shouted. 

They all looked at each other with worried looks. Mia saw that the shadow wasn't a shadow anymore, it was a body!

"Wait, thats WAY too big to be a human body - what on earth is it?!" she said.

"Look closely: it's an ogre!" said Aiden.

"Wonderful first day of our summer trip and we're about to be eaten alive by an ogre. Could this get any better?" said Leona, sarcastically. Suddenly, there was a loud knock on the door. They all exchanged worried glances. They ran to the basement and hid, just as they heard the door swing open.
