I ran off, looking for Nick. I kept running until I bump into someone. Hopefully it wasn't the maniac with an ax.

"What are doing out here?" Nick said, holding my arms.

"He's here!" I said, out of breath.

"Come on!" Said Nick, taking me into science & nature.

We ran in. Nick locked the door. I hide behind the snake table & Nick sat right by me.

"Did we lose him?" I said.

"Yeah, I think so. Are you okay? You hurt." He said, checking see if I had any cuts.

"Are you? Who's blood is that?" I said, looking at the blood on his shirt.

"Umm... Sean, Jesse, Rod & Stacey's." He said, look down at his shirt, then at me.

"Shadysiders. It's the curse" I said.

"No,no, it's not the curse, it's just some psycho." Said Nick.

"No, no, it's not some psycho it's Tommy. She did this." I said.

"Who Cindy?" Asked Nick.

"No, the witch." I said.

"That's not real Kayde." He said.

"That's exactly what a Sunnyvale's would say. I thought you were different." I said.

We heard the bell ring.

"They're getting on the bus. We have to go!" Said Nick, getting up.

"No I promise Ziggy I'll found Cindy! Ziggy still out there too!" I said, pulling him back down.

"Kayde! Ive let a lot of people die tonight." He said, putting his hand on my face & looking me in my eyes.

"Nick, this isn't your fault." I said.

"Not you! I'm not letting you die." He said. "Because, uh... maybe I do like the weirdo from Shadyside & I was thinking once we get out of this, we could, uh, we could start a book club or something. Maybe I don't know, Stephen king's new one is supposed to be good I hear."

"I'm done with king. Judy Blume for me from now on." I said, giggling.

"Yeah, Judy Blume sounds perfect." Said Nick, chuckling.

"You believe me, right? About the curse." I said.

"Yeah, of course. I am different. Now come on. We gotta get out of here. We'll call the cops. Ziggy & Cindy will be alright. But first we gotta get on that bus." He said, grabbing my hand pulling me up.

We heard banging & we look through the snake tank & seen Tommy through the window.

He punch through the glass unlocking the door. We ran & hid in another spot. We heard glass break.

Then we heard Tommy footsteps getting closer & closer as his boots hit the ground. A snake came slithering over into our laps. I hate snakes.

I was about to freak out when nick put his hand over my mouth, & his finger on his telling me to shh.

Next thing I know Tommy picked me up by my hair dragging me across the table until I was off of it.

I crawled backwards screaming in fear for my life as I seen the boy who greeted me with his girlfriend when I came to camp today about to take an ax to my body.

Until Nick came pushing me out the way, Tommy hitting him in the back of the leg with the ax. I screamed, seeing Nick get hit broke my heart I cared for him!

I couldn't lose him, even if I've only known him for a day.

"Aahh Run!" Nick said, in pain.

I got up & ran straight to the camp entrance hoping the bus didn't leaving yet. But as I got up to it the bus was leaving.

"Kurt! Will! Anybody!" I yelled.

"Kayde!" I heard Ziggy yelled.

I look up & seen her at the mess hall. I looked the other way & seen Tommy coming I ran towards the mess hall.
