Chapter 02: Darlen dawn

The sound of the car engine idling woke me up after a long sleep in the very uncomfortable front seat. The road was long, as the trip lasted more than 5 hours here... I looked around with sleepy eyes and checked on my father, who was looking at the place outside the car.. So I did the same and directed... I look at the place through the glass window...

The weather was spring and the sun was shining.. I loved the summer atmosphere very much, but I hated the camps....

_ we have arrived .

My father's voice interrupted my wandering around the place, and I turned my gaze towards it. The place was somewhat scary. It was a large palace surrounded by many trees. It looked like the home of vampires in ancient myths. It was not what I had imagined.

never...

In fact, I thought it was a small camp for young scouts and other silly things... but now, as I look at the huge palace, I am very confused by this camp.

The strange thing is that the camps seem to have developed these days.

But this does not mean that it did not confuse me. On the contrary, I felt a kind of fear, tension, and a kind of curiosity.. I wanted to explore it very much as a young girl and not as a teenager about to reach legal age..

_ Shall we go?

My father interrupted me again from my distraction, and then we got out of the car to meet the huge palace again. We went forward from the entrance and entered it through a large gate surrounded by tree branches. When we entered inside, the place dazzled me with its beauty. There were many people my age and others younger than me. Or maybe a few years older than me...

The place was spacious and included several halls and rooms on the upper floor, in addition to the vast forest behind it, which undoubtedly looked a little scary at night.

I approached one of the windows overlooking the place and saw a beautiful lake in the distance. I cannot deny that this made me happy, as I love the atmosphere of lakes in a tropical forest. When I turned around, I met my father again and his smile did not leave his face.

_ So, did you like the place?

_ Yeah. I thought it was a silly camp but it looks like it's not.

Furthermore...

I answered him confidently while looking around. Suddenly, girls running in the direction caught my attention. When one of the girls spotted me, she stood still and looked at me. I was a little surprised by the matter, but I looked at her with reverence as well. Then she approached me, leaving her friends on the other side to talk loudly. She smiled at me deeply while looking at me. She seemed like a good and kind girl, so I smiled back at her and caught my attention

Her curly blonde hair..

_ Welcome, I'm Vicky. Looks like you're new here..

She smiled again and began to speak.

_ oh Yeah, I am. Mary, nice to meet you, Vicky..

I introduced myself to her cordially, which made her smile sweetly... She seems to be a very sociable girl, the complete opposite of me... like Veronia...

_ If you need anything, do not hesitate to ask me..this time my third visit to the camp...

I smiled at her with a friendly smile for her help... She was accustomed to it, and this is what made me more curious about knowing the camp's activities... But I did not inquire much, and I answered her cordially...
