⍟ Strings {A Camp Cretaceous x Male Reader Story - Ben}

𝟼. 𝙼𝚒𝚜𝚐𝚞𝚒𝚍𝚎𝚍

Y/N, Darius, Sammy, and Yasmina all sit around the campfire, awkwardly watching as Mitch and Tiff pack all of their things.

They were told that they we're going to look for Kenji, Brooklyn, and Hap, who had been gone for probably good 30 minutes by now. But the adults didn't seem to be in any kind of rush.

The campers grew impatient, but they also began to worry about Brooklyn and Kenji.

Y/N finally broke the silence among kids, "Okay, what's going on?" He huffs.

"Seriously," Darius stands up, "I mean, do we really need all of this to go look for Brooklyn, Kenji, and Hap?"

Tiff gives her husband a slightly grievous look before walking away without a word.

"Well,' Mitch pauses, "We just wanna be prepared for whatever we might encounter along the way."

"After all, the boat will be here in three days." He explains, approaching the campers.

He sets down some bags beside the boxes that have already been packed, "You wanna be rescued in one piece, don't you?"

Yasmina stands up, crossing her arms, "What!? You had said the boat would be here in two days."

"Two to three days. Right, babe?" Mitch turns to his wife, assuming she'll back him up.

"Hundred percent. Mm-hmm." Tiff absentmindedly responds.

"Now grab that stuff we need from Hap's yurt." She commands her husband, shoving a bag into his hands.

"Uhm, I thought Hap said no one's allowed in his yurt." Sammy pipes up in confusion.

"All right. Why don't you guys have some chocolate? It's from France." Tiff suggests in an annoyed tone, handing Sammy the foreign sweets.

"And over there. Go on." She shoos the girl away.

Tiff scoffs and joins Mitch outside of Hap's yurt.

Once the adults are far enough, the campers huddle into a group.

"I can't be the only one who thought that was weird." Yasmina whispers.

"What?" Darius murmurs.

"Exactly! How do you forget what day the boat is coming back?" Y/N scoffs.

"And they're being kind of shady about all that stuff they're packing." Sammy concurs.

"You three are just as paranoid as Brooklyn." Darius shakes his head.

Y/N grumbles, "Look, Darius, I know you're an optimist, but not everybody has our best interest in mind. I think there's something serious going on here and we can't just ignore it."

Darius sighs and takes a moment to think, the other three campers staring at him expectantly.

"Fine. I'll prove you all wrong." He decides.

"Here's the plan."

___

Yasmina and Sammy try their best to distract the adults while Y/N and Darius sneak into Mitch and Tiff's yurt.

The boys split up and start searching the inside.

"Wow, real suspicious." Darius scoffs when he doesn't notice anything out of the ordinary.

"I'll say." Y/N says, standing in front of a table that displays an assortment of knives and other sharp weapons.

Darius joins Y/N and they both stare at the table. The one beside it also has metal bear traps and a couple crossbows.
