The Okitwawa Camp

Chapter Sixteen: Audrey And Lana's Consequence

Wednesday July 15, 2020, 16:31 P.M

I stare at both girls with neutrality, inspecting their reactions. I don't look focused, but in my head, it's working hard with a billion ideas. Athough they might be weird, I improve them then change, repeating the process until I find the best one.

Time passes by slowly. Yet the tension remains the same. I know that hidden behind that mask of imperturbable and amusement is one of fear...Audrey and Lana think that I'm going to make them pay a lot.

True. But it won't be violent neither bloody. Of course not, I would be rather inappropriate, and, revenges aren't my style.

What if I gave them a challenge? But..what kind of challenge? I can't make them do one for me, as my property is unquestionable.

They should be doing something for someone different then me. A lot of people? Olivia? Mary-Phoebe? William? Hm, no, they don't own they anything for now.

Ah, we must think of Lana. She has to be included in that issue, as she participated in sticking my bed.

- So, is your bloody consequence coming, Cassandra? Audrey taunts me with a surly voice, putting accent on my name.

- Yes, I wanted to wait and see. You look eager to have a consequence, Audrey. I retort

The Owl group laugh slightly, before shifting to face me. They seem to think that I have the answer...Well, yes, I do.

- So, the consequence for Lana and Audrey is...

Keeping the suspense, I meet every camper's eyes, one by one, then the two girls, amused. They don't know what's coming for them.

- You'll have to do tasks for the camp. Four, to be precise. And in every single one of those tasks, you'll have a challenge to complete. In every challenge, you'll have two chances to win. I'll forgive you if you finish three. Since it's not in the spirit of the camp to be mean, you don't have to owe me something, but to the camp.

The campers of the group stare at me, bewildered. Some of them even had their jaws dropped. It looks like I surprised them! Eva, her, seems proud, a smile creeping on her lips.

- What would be the tasks to complete? Questions Maren, the French girl

I nod my head, my thoughts wandering around.

- First task, mouse poop. You'll have to clean that mess in the Frog tent, the Eagle tent and the leopards? The challenge? You'll ask to do it blindfolded.

The Owls. make an enthusiast "oh", as Lana and Audrey look at each other nervously.

- Second task: Trash picking. You'll have to pick up the trash in the tents of Leopard and Grizzly. The challenge? Jump on one leg.

The reaction is the same, but this time, the girls seem even more nervous.

- Third task: Kitchen help. You'll have to make the meals for the campers next friday, the morning and the evening. The challenge? You won't have the recipes and will be noted on a scale of one to ten. You pass if the average if more than five.

Olivia and Mary-Phoebe burst out laughing, as well as the rest of the gang.

- Fourth task, last but not least, you'll have to go to the quest of the lost canoe.

Everyone exclaims excitedly-except the girls- but three people remain puzzled.

- What's the lost canoe quest? A boy demands.

- A canoe, lost on a stranded island in the middle of the lake. They'll have to go search it, and bring it to us.

The enthusiasm gains the group, as night slowly falls on the camp.
