"Jake, move along!"

The camp leader yelled at me. All I was doing was tying my shoe. I walked along with the rest of my group, rolling my eyes. Why was he so bitchy today?

Tara, my best friend basically since birth, turned around to look at me. "Nice move, shithead!" She said, giggling. I pushed her forward, causing her to trip a little. I laughed at her, covering my mouth.

As we arrived at our tent, Tara sat down onto one of the beds next to me. "You bitch." She muttered, glaring at me. I let out a small giggle, looking away.

All of the sudden, I heard clamoring outside of our tent. I looked out, and saw people running to look over the fence that was surrounded our camp.

I heard a siren blare, and then the gateway to our campsite opening. Two teens -who looked about my age- were being pushed into our camp, held by two guards.

One of them was a boy who had black hair swished to the side in front of his face, black eyeshadow smeared across his eyes, with black skinny jeans and a leather jacket. He wasn't struggling, however the other boy was.

The other boy had dark brown fluffy hair, wearing black eyeliner, black skinny jeans, and a t-shirt and long-sleeve layered on top of eachother. He was struggling like crazy, attempting to bite the guard.

"Let's take them to the confinement tent!" One of the guards yelled.

"They may be infected!" The other shouted. Those words led up to a bunch of people to erupt into screams.

I turned over to Tara, who was also looking out at the chaos outside of our tent. "I mean, come on. They wouldn't seriously bring the infected into our camp, would they?" I said, rolling my eyes.

I sat down next to Tara on our bed, running my hands through my hair. "You never know." She replied.

I fell asleep way later than usual. I couldn't stop thinking about the two boys that got dragged into our camp. Who were they? What were they?

In the morning, I got woken up by the morning announcements. "Wake up everybody! Get to work!" I heard it say.

Ugh, why do I have to be here, again? I struggled out of bed, seeing that Tara was already up and ready for the day. "What the hell, Tara! And you didn't think to wake me up earlier as well?" I exclaimed, a bit irritated.

"Don't worry! I asked the camp leader if we could take the day off of work duties today because we felt sick. He said yes!" Tara said excitedly.

"And how the fuck did you do that so early?" I asked, puzzled.

"Don't ask questions!"

"Fine."

"Listen, I was thinking we could sneak over to the confinement tent and see those two people inside." Tara whispered to me.

"Ok, but we have to make a plan." I whispered back.

"Don't worry, I already have one, just follow me!" She said, beckoning me out of the tent with her. We both snuck around the fence barrier towards the confinement tent.

Once we got there, we noticed that it wasn't a tent at all, more such as a small shed. Huh. Nobody was guarding it, so we both ran over to the door. Tara opened the door with one swift swoop. I braced myself for what I was about to see... But instead, we were met with a door to an elevator.

"Nah, Tara. This is some spy type shit. Are you sure we should be doing this?" I asked nervously. She nodded her head vigorously. "Come on! Don't you wanna see who they are?"

"Fine." I finally agreed with her, shutting the door to the shed behind me. Tara pressed the button on the elevator. Whirring noises erupted from the elevator, and suddenly they stopped. The door opened and Tara stepped inside. "Should we really be doing this..?" I asked her, hesitant about going into some unknown, and probably unsafe, elevator. "Quick come on before the door shuts!" She exclaimed, pulling me inside.

The elevator door shut, and before I could make the decision of going back, it started to move downwards. "Great, Tara! Look what you've gotten us into!" I whisper-shouted at her. The elevator stopped moving, Tara and I both waited in anticipation for the door to open.
