Your parents signed you up to a camp you barely knew anything about— shoving you in a bus, telling them how much they loved you, and sent you on your merry way! You didn't expect the camp to be perfect.. but you didn't expect it to be so.. chaotic.
you stood in the middle of the mess hall, kids screaming and shouting at one another as they flew food left in right.. it didn't even look edible...
"Hey, new kid!"
a small boy named Max motioned you over. There were other kids.. "Oh, Hi" I say as I walk over to the boy motioning Me over Max: What's your name?
Max asked curiously, his two other friends- Nikki and Neil stood next to him.
Nikki: Hi! I'm Nikki. And this is Neil! What's your name?
Neil: I-I'm Neil's. He answered. He seemed a bit nervous about the new child. "My names Channing"Max: Channing! I like it! Can we call you Chan? It's a sweet name! My name is Max. I'm the leader of the 'Comedy trio.' This tall one is Neil. He's our scientist in the team. This other one is Nikki, she's very energetic.' "Yeah you can call me Chan"Max: Cool! +he smiled+
Nikki: Welcome to Camp Camp, Chan. It's a bit chaotic, but if you get used to it- I'm sure you'll do fine.
Neil: Yeah, it's best to keep away from Jared, he's the bully at Camp Camp.
Nikki: And Daniel, he hates children.
Max: If you need us, come down to Max's room- it's next to the storage closet in the mess hall. We can be your friends if you need them! "Okay"Max: Nice meeting you! he smiled.
Neil: We better get back to our room. He said.
Nikki: Yeah! Come and visit if you ever need anything.
They all smiled at you, and walked back to their room, in which was next to the storage closet. "Alright!" I said and then walked to my cabin In your cabin, there were other kids. About five, there was one kid that stood out more than the others.
A red-haired boy, who had purple bags under his eyes. He was laying on his bunk bed, he had one blanket over him. He had a small scar under his right eye- and his nose was bleeding.
Your roommates were..
-Harrison.
-Lilly.
-Polly.
-David. Lilly: Hello, new cabin-mate. What's your name?
+Lilly was a bit nice, and kind, and seemed like the leader of the four.+ +The other two, David and Polly- they seemed to be quite shy.+
+David was a black boy with curly hair- he was a bit more energetic+ +Polly was a white girl, with her golden blonde hair put into two ponytails.+
+Harrison was still asleep, bleeding on the lower bunk bed, his purple bag under his eye made him look.. tired+ "I'm Channing"Lilly: Nice to meet you, Channing. I'm Lilly. These are the other three. Harrison's the one bleeding, Polly- she's the nice one, and David's the energetic one.
David: Hello, I'm David! Nice to meet you, Channing!
+David smiled at you, he seemed really friendly, and nice.+ Harrison woke up, sitting up with his bags under his eyes still being very noticeable.
Harrison: Do you need anything, new kid?
+He sounded tired.+ "No, I'm just getting set up"Harrison: Oh, okay! Just tell me, if you do!
+He smiled at you, seeming tired. He had a cut below his right eye- it didn't seem to be going away any time soon, with his eyes still being bloodshot.+
Lilly: There's a bathroom in the right corner, if you need anything, just yell out and someone will come!
-She pointed to the right corner, where there was an open door with a sign saying 'BATHROOM.'-

<Timeskip> I laid in my bed asleep A few hours had passed, you woke up. Lilly was now sleeping- she seemed to be really tired. Polly was sleeping too, with one of her eyes open for some reason.
Harrison was still sleeping, but David was laying on his back. Talking to himself, but quite loud, he sounded tired as well.
David: 'Man. This camp sucks. I just want one, normal day here..' +I woke up in the middle of the night hearing David talk to himself David didn't seem to notice you wake up, nor does Lilly, Polly or Harrison seem to notice, they were all deeply asleep. David spoke to himself again,+
David: 'Man. These kids.. They are all just so annoying..'
+He said that really quietly before yawning. You could hear that he had a really soft, southern accent when he talks+ David: 'I wish I could just.. leave.'I stretch after randomly waking up and David notices me David noticed you, he looked over at you.. he looked really tired. He tried to get back to sleep, but just couldn't, too many kids around him were making noise. He just tried to sleep, knowing he couldn't anyway. David went back on his back, and just starred at the ceiling. The bunk bed's creaked, and David just stared at the ceiling. He could hear you stretching but he didn't really care.. I get up and climb down the bunk bed ladder to and accidentally slip and fall onto the floor from the top of the bunk bed "Ow, F*ck.." I mumbled extremely quiet to myself That wasn't quiet enough. You heard David speak a little.
David: Did you just say 'F*ck? I think you just said, f*ck. Don't worry, I'll keep you a secret. Wouldn't want you telling the adults.. That was a swear. Don't say that again, or the adults might hear you.'
+He looked back at the ceiling, thinking to himself again.+ I pick myself up and head to the restroom and use the bathroom and then go back to my bed and go to sleep The next morning, you woke up. Everyone seemed to have woken up. None of them look like they'd gotten much sleep, due to the other kids in the cabin. Lilly seemed to be talking to Polly quite quietly.
Lilly: 'This camp needs to be shut down by the government. It is not safe for children to be here, it's not even safe for adults to be here.'
Polly: 'Agreed.' +I go outside and skip breakfast+ Everyone looks at you while your skipping breakfast. Lilly, Harrison, Polly, and David. Especially Harrison, he didn't really look like he got any sleep.
Harrison: 'Are.. You skipping breakfast? In the morning?!'
+He said that in such a way, you didn't know if it was a threat or a question.+ "No" I say sarcastically Harrison was pretty smart, and caught on quickly. He went back to eating his breakfast.
It was nearly time for you to do your chores- before you could go outside, Lilly took you by the arm and brought you to the adults.
Lilly: 'Channing has been skipping breakfast, every morning.. They also swore under their breath.'
+She reported you, and pointed you out to the other adults.+ The adults just looked confused, one of them spoke up.
Female-Adult: 'Did you swear under your breath? And skip breakfast?'
She spoke to you, you had two options. One, was to lie, and possibly get in a bit of trouble. Or two, was to tell the truth, and possibly get in a small bit of extra trouble due to the cussing.. Female-Adult: 'You said no sarcastically. I know you're lying.'
She sighed.
Female-Adult: 'Okay, you'll just have to do some extra chores if you don't admit to swearing and skipping breakfast.'
She said, before taking a deep breath. Her voice was quite high pitched and loud.
Female-Adult: 'Tell the truth, now.'"Are you deaf in the brain or something? I said that sarcastically. It's sarcasm, the use of irony to mock or convey contempt."Female-Adult: 'Do you not hear the words your saying? You said no sarcastically. So your answer is 'Yes, I swear under my breath and I skipped breakfast?' Is that the answer.'
She stared you blankly in the eyes, her voice was really intimidating, and loud. That voice could honestly be louder than the other kids' screams. "Good for you, your starting to catch on"Female-Adult: 'Okay, this is getting absolutely ridiculous. Your going to start getting into trouble if you don't answer this question fully. If you do not answer this question truthfully, your going to do more than just, "A few extra chores."'
She pointed at you, her face becoming more red. She was clearly getting impatient.
Female-Adult: 'What's it going to be? A, yes your skipping breakfast and swearing. Or B, No your not skipping breakfast and swearing. Choose.'"It's A. I literally just said that"Female-Adult: 'Good. Now, your going to receive some punishments for your actions. Starting tomorrow, you'll be doing the hardest tasks for the rest of the 2 months. You will not skip breakfast, you will not skip lunch, and you will not skip dinner. If you do, you will be assigned even harder tasks to do, and your going to receive double the amount of chores you normally would. Starting tomorrow. Do I make myself clear?'"No." I say and then walk out Female-Adult: 'Excuse me?! Did you just say- No?!'
She looked shocked. Nobody has ever said no to her.
Female-Adult: 'No is not an option. You've made that decision now. Tomorrow, you will be doing the hardest tasks, and the adults will be watching you very closely. You will not be assigned anything less. Is that clear?!'"I make my own options, it's America, free country" I say right before I left the cabin The adult got angry, she ran after you.
Female-Adult: 'Excuse me?! Did you just walk away from me?! That's it, you are getting in real trouble right now. Now come back here! That is an adult's order! And you will listen to us.'
She shouted at the top of her lungs, clearly furious. "Who's making me"Female-Adult: 'Excuse me?! Are you disrespecting me right now?! Is that how you talk to adults in this country?! You have one option- you come back right this second, or your doing every difficult task we give you. There is no other option, unless you are planning on getting expelled for disobeying an adult, is that what you want? Is that the outcome you are truly wanting?'I walk to a tree and then jump onto it and climb to the top and jump tree to tree and the adult lost my trail As you jumped to tree-by-tree, you heard from a distance,
Female-Adult: 'You little, rebel. I see how it is. You wanna run away?! Fine. Have fun out there!'
She shouted at the top of her lungs. She then went to another adult, presumably.. The headmaster. And told him about your escape. I sat happily in the tree that was above a cliff and looked and the forest from the tree that was at the end of the left side of the forest. You sat on the tree. It was peaceful, quiet, and calm. The only thing you could hear was the sound of your breath, birds flying, and the sound of wind. It was a really beautiful place. You could climb down the tree, or just stay there. Your choice.. I went to sleep in the tree that was above the cliff You fell asleep, and your sleep was a deep one- and before you know it..
Female: 'Wake up! Wake up! We have found you!'
You opened one eye, and saw two adults standing right next to you. A man and a woman. The Woman had a gun and a taser by her side.
Male-Adult: 'I suggest you get down from that tree!' "No" Female-Adult: 'Are you.. Are you refusing a command of an adult right now? I suggest you get down from that tree right the second- This is your last shot. Any hesitancy, any refusal, and we will use extreme force to make you obey our orders. Do you understand?!' "No, I don't understand actually. Anyways, bye!" I say and then jump into the cliff that the tree was above The adult was stunned. You just jumped off a cliff?! No hesitation? No asking for help? Nothing! You just.. jumped..?
The adult just turned around quickly to her partner.
Female-Adult: 'Well then. I guess that was easy.'I had landed in a waterfall:rapid river, but they didn't know that The two adults looked towards the direction where you went, before looking down. The female looked quite mad, whilst the male looked just in-shock for what to do now. How were they going to get you?
Male-Adult: 'U-uh- I-I guess we can assume they're- dead then.'I was alive but they didn't know that You managed to swim away, but you felt quite badly bruised- and you didn't know where you were. You were quite lost. You didn't know where you were- nor how to get out of the forest. I got out of the water with a lot of struggle but managed to do it and began to walk along the river You walked and walked. Hours went by of just.. walking.
You then began to get thirsty. You were hungry, too.
You were quite tired right now. You could barely walk, and barely see where your going. You were at the side of a hill- a very steep hill. You could either keep walking, or take a rest.. I grabbed some sticks and vines and stone and made a bow and arrows and shot a bird for food, You managed to hunt it down and made the bird into a roasted dinner- a very small dinner, but it was something. You were tired, yet quite happy that you had at least something. I found a fallen tree and then slept on the dead fallen tree, it had moss on it. You could still hear the loud sounds of leaves and animals- your ear kept twitching in your sleep. But you slowly forgot about that. You slept for a very, very long time before you eventually woke up- you had slept well into the morning. The sun was shining bright, and it was quite silent..
You were still in the forest though, and the camp was miles away from you. You were completely lost.. "I'm not able to go back to camp anyways..." I say as I put my bow and arrows onto a vine that I used as a satchel You packed your things up. You looked through the forest for anything. A sign, a trail, a piece of tape, literally anything. Before long you saw a red thread.
You followed the red thread, and it led you to a sign with the following:
'Danger: Turn Back.' "Perfect, no one will look for me here" I say and then cross the fence You crossed the fence, the sign was right. It was quite dangerous..
It was hard to get past the fence, you got scratched up, and got a couple bruises- but you made it past the fence! You felt like you were at the top of the world. This day was probably one of the most eventful days of your life.. So far, at least.. As I walked through the area I found a wolf pack and didn't know what to do. Your just standing their, silently. The wolf pack seemed to notice you soon, and began to surround you. You didn't know what to do..
The wolf pack were blocking your way. They were getting closer, and closer. You felt scared, very scared. I accidentally made a body movement that proposed that I wasn't a threat and that I wanted to join their pack, You don't know what just happened, but the wolf pack all nodded at you and seemed to want you as apart of the pack.. A few of the wolves began to sniff you, one by one, they all seem to really want you in the pack so I joined the pack All the wolves surround you now- not in an intimidating way, they all were just walking around you. They seemed to like you. These wolves were actually really friendly, they were even licking you. It was a really cute sight..
These wolves were actually acting like big dogs now. They wanted you there, and they wanted you as their own.. A female wolf took me in to raise me and teach me how to be a wolf The female wolf took you in. She took you to her den, and taught you how to survive in the wild. She taught you how to hunt, how to fight, and a lot of other stuff. She protected you, and was basically your mother. She adopted you.. After a week with your new wolf-mom and pack, you were now able to hunt, fight, and talk to the pack. You were officially part of their wolf-pack. <Big timeskip> I was about to go on a run with the pack and hunt You and the pack were going on a run to catch any animal you could find. A very big rabbit hopped out and ran straight toward you- it looked quite scared. The rabbit was quite small I caught it and brought it back to the pack You managed to catch the rabbit. You gave it to the pack- who were very happy and joyful that you managed to catch it. You and the pack started to devour the rabbit.. It wasn't very fresh, and the pack thought it was a little dry, but otherwise they thought it was quite tasty..
You then got a reward- the biggest piece of the rabbit. The pack then proceeded to sleep in their den. I had learned the wolf language and forgot how to speak English, I knew how to run, walk, trot, ect. On all fours but I still knew how to walk like a human You had literally become one with the pack. You knew every single command in-and-out, you spoke their language mostly fluently, and you knew every little trick in their arsenal. You literally forgot how to be human. One day a human crossed the border, it had been 3 years since I had crossed the border and I forgot how to be a human and A human crossed the border, you were immediately afraid. They weren't part of the pack, and this human could be very, very dangerous..
Should you hide? or Attack, and try to get the human to leave your territory? What would I do? I ran to the pack on all fours "Oooo, Woof, bark bark grrr" -translation- :I was patrolling the borders and I saw a human crossing the borders.: You ran to the pack, warning them of the human. The wolves were immediately angry by just the sound of your warning.
Female-Wolf: 'So there is an intruder?! ^She growled^ Then we shall attack!'
They began to surround the human- barking and growling. I growled and snarled at the human as me and the pack surrounded the human The human began to run away.
Female-Wolf: 'Go away, you disgusting human!! Go away, and don't come back!!'
Female-Wolf 2: 'Or we'll maul you to death, human!!'
Male-Wolf: 'Yeah!!'
"Leave and never return, human!"The human ran away.
Female-Wolf: 'Yeah, that's right!! Never come back!! Run, human, RUN!!'
The wolves all began to howl and cheer. The next night after the human encounter, the wolves celebrated you. You had saved your pack. You saved the den.
Female-Wolf: 'You are a brave wolf, and you are apart of our pack now. For life.'"Thank you, but also.. We should keep a eye out carefully because the human has a possibility to return with more"Female-Wolf: 'Yeah, good thinking. We should keep a watch of the territory tonight, you never know what the human could be coming back with.'
You and the pack kept watch of the territory that whole night. You wanted to make sure the human never came back.. And you would. I went to the den of the wolf that raised me and slept with my wolf-mom for the rest of the night. You slept peacefully- and quite contently. You had protected the den from the human, and your wolf-mom was super proud of you.. The next day the human came back to try and 'Rescue me and rehabilitate me back to society'The human returned to try and 'rehabilitate' you. He was bringing a taser with him, and even a syringe of a type of shot.
Female-Wolf: 'No. You do not take the kid- let alone touch anybody in our den. You will leave now.'The human had reinforcements and guns The human had reinforcements with him.. They were all fully armed..
Female-Wolf: 'What the hell?! You have reinforcements with you?! We are not going to allow you to step any further, so get out.. Of.. Our.. Den..'
The wolves all started to growl at the human. You could see them starting to get agitated.. "Pack, Run! I'll handle them, if I don't make it I'll come back as the next pup to be born into the pack!" I barked to the pack Female-Wolf: Barks 'Run!!'
And then the whole pack ran off.. Every single wolf ran for their lives. You were now left alone to fight the human, and his reinforcements. They were all armed and ready.. I fought back and they accidentally shot me instead of rehabilitating me into being a human again, The human shot you instead of rehabilitated you into being a human, they shot you in cold blood. The human then ran off, thinking he was done with the pack. You were left alone, on the ground. You slowly got up, with a gasp. You were shot, and bleeding out. Blood was on the ground. Before you could try to get up, you passed out. The humans left for good and left me in the den bleeding to death from the gunshot, You were bleeding to death.. There was nothing you could do about it.. The wound was too deep, and now you were bleeding out. Your blood was on the ground, as you passed out from a large loss of blood.. The pack surrounded me The pack surrounded you and got really, really concerned.. Your blood loss was too large, and the wound was too big. You were now dying, and you couldn't save yourself. The pack watched you sadly, slowly watching you die in front of their eyes.. Mother Wolf licked me and then I lost light from my eyes and breathed out my last breath as my skin slowly turned cold and then passed away in Front of the pack.. You heard every wolf howl from grief.. They were all so sad for your death. The pack remembered that I said "if I don't make it I'll come back as the next pup to be born into the pack"The pack remembered what you said. And they all looked up at the sky, at the sky. They were all in shock of what just happened.. The wolf-mom, and all the wolves cried for you.
