Chapter 4

Sorry, guys I accidentally posted this chapter before Chapter 3. - Jess20065.

Anyway onto the story....

We stood there like idiots for about a minute before I randomly took off running. If they were just going to stand there, I'd go look for the boxes on my own. I needed a starting point because the camp was huge. Then I spotted Violet and Clover, they were looking at an old notice board that was probably used when the camp first opened. I was about to join them when I saw how close they were standing together. After a few seconds, they grabbed something off the notice board and started walking north – away from me. I sighed and ran up to the notice board looking at the one notice left. It was a riddle.

"I am the beginning of sorrow and the end of sickness. There's no happiness without me nor is there sadness. I am always at risk, yet never in danger. You will find me in the sun, but I am never out of darkness," I read out loud.

"Is that a riddle?" Stephen asked, joining me.

I looked to see that Elite Princess was standing next to him looking at the riddle.

"Yes. Any guesses?"

"The letter S obviously," Elite Princess answered.

"How do you know that?" I asked.

"Just because I look like this doesn't mean I'm not smart," she muttered.

"Good job Gracie," Stephen beamed.

"I guess we are going south," I said and we started walking south.

We kept walking until I spotted a huge log cabin. Maybe it's in there. Stephen ran up to the cabin and picked up a huge box. We joined him and noticed it had Gracie on it. Huh, I guess this is her box. She squealed and grabbed it off her. Elite Princess opened the box to reveal a set of complicated puzzle pieces. She dropped the box and walked over to a nearby table, Stephenfollowing her. I sighed and picked up the box. We really shouldn't litter. I looked into the box again and noticed that there was a small slip of paper at the bottom.

'HELP! I'M KIDNAPPED. PLEASE! I'M HERE AT CAMP AS WELL. DON'T TRUST D. 

- C'

Does C mean Cameron? As in the guy who was supposed to come? I quickly ran over to Stephen and Elite Princess, putting the box under my arm as I went. Remembering we need all 3 boxes to win. I shoved the note into Elite Princess's hand and watched as she read it over. She started shaking as she handed the note to Stephen.

"We need to give this to Daria," I mumbled.

"Yeah, or Director Edgar," Stephen said.

"Why are you calling him that?" I asked.

"Because just think about it... Cameron said be warned about D and Edgar gives me creepy vibes," Elite Princess piped up.

"He is kind of creepy in a charming way," I agreed.

"Let's just finish the activity first, for all we know it could be a hoax. Plus, I need a beach day," Elite Princess decided.

Stephen nodded and I rolled my eyes. Stephen handed me the note and I stuffed it into my pocket to give to Daria later. Why did she have to make the decisions? I looked down at the now-solved puzzle. It was an arrow pointing towards the cabins. Guess we must go there. We walked over to our cabins and found a racetrack behind it. 

"Pick up the box and bring it back together in 2 minutes," Stephen read out loud.

I look to see him reading a piece of paper, I have no idea where it got it from. I looked to the end of the racetrack where another box sat. A huge timer sat on the edge of the cabin for 2 minutes.
