The Camping Disaster

Chapter 20: The Unexpected Story

Nathalie knew it was no use lying. So she told the group all about last night.

Everyone looked at her shockingly Vexter's head was down. He probably didn't expect Nathalie to be that honest? Wait her honest? Nope! No way!

"So that's why I lied"
"So you're telling me, you guys saw a strange light and decided to investigate it without even waking us up?" Scarlette asked with a betrayed look
"You guys were sleeping! I couldn't just wake you all like that!" Nathalie answered

"Guys, the past is the past, anything that happened last night wasn't serious and we'll leave tomorrow so let's not waste out time on something silly like this" Vexter said shushing everyone

It wasn't long before everything was back to normal. It was now evening. Natalie's mom has once again dropped off lunch and everyone was laughing and giggling like nothing had happened.

Nathalie sat by the lake, staring at the setting sun. Just then, Vexter came and sat by her side.

"Be awake at night, 3 AM, we'll find out the cause behind the light, understood?" Natalie suddenly spoke up
"Are you sure? It could be dangerous" Vexter asked hesitantly
"I'm sure, besides, we'll be careful, we won't go that place, just see the reason why people are sending signals through torches"
"Alright, what about the others?"
"Only you and me"
"Got it"

The sun had already set. Everyone was now tired and on the verge of falling asleep.

Nathalie got an idea.

"Guys, whould you like to hear a story?"

Everyone excitedly agreed

"Once upon a time, there were six students, they had a camping trip. While they were camping, they noticed there were theifs in the neighbourhood. Then they visited a cottage nearby. They had a lot of fun. But a tradgedy happened. At night. The theifs came, killed them all and stole their belongings. The end"

Everyone stared at Nathalie with their mouths open. They suspected the story was about them.

Nathalie looked confused and asked,
"What? Wasn't the story good?"
