"Why do we have to help set up the tent?" Lucas was complaining to his dad about setting up the tent, and threw rocks at the ground as he pouted. "Lucas if you want to, you can go grab some twigs for the fire. Just be careful and take Lilly with you." Their mom patted Lilly on the shoulder and gave her a gentle push toward Lucas not giving Lilly a choice in the matter. "Alright Lucas lets go." Lilly sighed, her voice cracking a bit as she and Lucas took off into the forest. "Lucas I want to talk to you about something, you've been acting weird, and I was wondering what was up with you." As they walked Lilly looked at her brother. Lilly was waiting for an answer, but Lucas said nothing and only walked on. The sky was starting to darken as they picked up all the branches they could find. Lucas and Lilly stayed silent as they collected branches, until Lilly heard a branch snap behind her. Lilly was frightened as she turned around and saw her brother frozen, looking at something. Lilly walked closer trying to see what he was looking at. Apparently, they had been walking south, because standing at least a few 35 feet away was the creepy camp host's shack. "Lucas let's turn back, I promised mom I would keep us safe. I don't really think it's a good idea to stay around here. Besides it's getting really dark, we could get lost." Lilly tried to shake Lucas, but he wouldn't budge, he started walking towards the shack. Lilly grabbed at her brother pulling him away from it. He finally stopped and looked at her. "Lilly let me go I want to make a wish, please this is my dream!" Lucas didn't wait for Lilly to talk. He took off toward the shack and knocked on its door. Lilly ran after Lucas and just as she got to the shack Lilly saw the shack door open. Her brother looked once at her then went inside the shack. Lilly ran for the door but just as she did, the door shut right in her face.
