After putting out the campfire, they each said their good nights and went to sleep. It was a quiet and still night so it was the perfect ambience for them. Everyone was sleeping soundly, besides Finsley. She was having terrible nightmares about the manor behind her. Shifting from side to side, she woke up in a cold sweat and trying to catch her breath.

Wiping the sweat off of her forehead, she tried to go back to sleep since she was still tired. Just before closing her eyes, she saw a silhouette right outside her tent.

It looked somewhat like a little girl, standing while not making a single movement.

Finsley froze with her eyes wide. She couldn't scream nor move, as if she was too scared to do so. She shut her eyes as tight as possible and covered her ears.

Hoping the figure would go away, she sat there in that position for a few minutes.

After what seemed like forever, she slowly opened her eyes to check. The figure was long gone.

She sighed in relief and tried to go back to sleep. Just as she was lying down and tried to get comfortable, she turned around facing the other side of the tent, just to be greeted by a bloody looking body with eyes wide.

Horrified, Finsley screamed at the top of her lungs, alarming the other two boys.

The boys, Clyde and Ewan woke up by the loud screeching. Being both scared and drowsy, they went outside their tents with a flashlight to go check what the noise was.

Noticing that Finsley's tent was illuminated, they checked up on her just to be sure.

Opening the zipper, they saw Finsley covering her ears and eyes in a fetal position. Confused by this, they proceeded to ask Finsley,

"Finsley, what the hell are you doing?" Asked Ewan.

"I SAW SOMETHING IN MY TENT!" Finsley exclaimed loudly. Not believing her, they brushed it off and asked what the noise was.

"Stop being such a pussy Finsley, you probably saw a shadow or something." Clyde said in a drowsy manner.

"Anyway, did you hear any loud noise?" Ewan asked Finsley while trying to gently uncover her hands from her ears.

"T-that w-was me.." Finsley quietly trailed off.

Enraged by this, Clyde began to scold Finsley.

"What the hell! You woke us up just because of that?!" Clyde said angrily.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry" Finsley trying to apologize softly.

Ewan not liking the situation so far, tried to calm the two.

"Guys that's enough, at least we know what the noise was, let's just go back to sleep. We have to wake up early remember?" Said Ewan.

"Ugh, fine, but don't make such loud noises Finsley, god." Clyde exclaimed.

Finsley still quiet, just slightly nodded. The boys then tried to return back to their tents until Finsley grabbed Ewan's arm.

Surprised by this, Ewan stopped in his tracks and turned back to Finsley. "What's wrong?" Ewan asked her.

"I'm scared to sleep alone, can i sleep with you?" Finsley, asking still shaken up by the events.

"Wait are you serious?"

Finsley nodded. Ewan sighed in defeat since he had a soft spot for Finsley. He gestured her to come with him.
