Raine stepped out of the car, the gravel under her foot crunched with each step she took. She rested her hands on her waist, searching around the spot George had chosen.
"This is it?" She asked unimpressed, her face scrunched up. She knew that they did not take her out of the comfort of her house for this ridiculous site.
In front of Raine was a circular clearing, the perimeter a sea of trees. No waterfall, nothing at all. George opens the trunk of the car, pulling out the various bags inside.
"Sorry it does not fit your high standards, your highness." He threw her bag at her. Raine caught it, her breath catching in her throat from the bag slamming into her chest. She glares at him and sets her bag down on the ground.
"There's more to this trip, love. You just have to be patient." Daryl pips up, picking up his bag that George had carelessly thrown on the floor.
"Guys we have a problem." Ebony walked over to the group. Everyone turned to face her. "There is only two tents, and five of us."
"George, you were suppose to bring enough tents for everyone!" Cherry slaps his arms. He nudges her away from him.
"I did. Ya'll think tents are cheap. I brought one tent for you and me. The other one is for the three of them." He points to Raine, Daryl, and Ebony. "Besides they don't even need privacy." He closes the trunk to the car.
At this point, Raine wanted to pick up a stone and chuck it at his head.
"Wow, George you're so considerate of us." She smiled sweetly at him. Inside she was burning with fury, wishing an animal would come in the night and take him away. Daryl picked up one of the tents and started to set it up.
"How do you do this?!" He picks up the tarp then stares at the bolts on the ground in confusion. Raine and Ebony both shook their heads and went over to help him. It took the group about an hour to have both of the tents set up, along with a fire.
Raine sat down on a log, directly in front of the fire. Daryl leaned over and handed her a stick with a marshmallow on it.
"Thanks," She took it from him and hovered the stick above the fire. Raine stared at the flames, intrigued with how the flames licked the side of the marshmallow, giving it a crisp dark coating. Crack. Raine looked away from the flames to the forests around them. A chill went through her. Raine dropped the stick into the flames.
"Raine?" Cherry called her name. Raine turned to her, everyone was watching her. Raine shook her head, closing her eyes tightly before opening them again.
"Sorry, I thought I heard something." Se rubbed her knees, looking up at the group.
"Hello? We're in the woods. Lots of things are lurking in these areas. You're going to be hearing a lot of things." George laughed before taking a bite of his s'more.
