After weeks, the girl was well enough. She was still unconscious, but Scott kept his word and was taking her back where we found her. I stopped him as he was leaving camp.
"Scott." I sigh, I hate myself to say this. But either way she would've died. Being alone in the woods is not good at all, there are dangerous creatures out there. "She can stay."
Scott beamed, he nearly dropped her limp body. Luckily I was there to catch her.
"Jeez Scott, calm down, you don't wanna kill her do you?" I scoffed. He gave a nervous chuckle rubbing the back of his neck.
"Where are we going to put her?" Scott scratched his head.
"I have no idea." I looked around camp. Then I looked down at the girl's pale face, I sighed.
"She can take the spare bed in Andrew's tent when she wakes, but for now she can take my bed until then. You know those cots at Andrew's mess up your back."
"I know what you mean, man. But you sure? She can stay in mine." He stepped forward, a few other boys stared at the girl lying in my arms, as if they've never seen a girl before. I look towards them and started to mind their own business.
"You're tent is closer to the forest, it's safer in my tent." He nods in agreement.
"I suppose so." He agreed, he touches her hand and nods a goodbye and walks off. I walk to my tent, setting her on my bed gently.
I sigh again, running my hand through my hair. I walk out of the room, leaving the girl alone.
The old oak said she was of importance to me, what in the world does that mean? Unless she's the darkness that follows. I shake my head in confusion, I walk over to Matt's tent, knowing he's in there.

Allison's POV

Ow . . My head hurts like I've been hit on the head with a hammer. What happened? Wait . . . Where am I?
My eyes open wide looking around me. I was in a large tent, made of animal skins. I sat up on the down feathered bedding I was on. The place looked homey but that doesn't comfort me that I'm in a strange place. I look around the tent until I find the exit. I was seriously light headed, I should sit on the edge of the bed before I leave the room.
I sit for a moment until my head is not as fuzzy, and I close my eyes for just a minute. As I open them, and boy about my age, with dark brown eyes and blonde hair with a tint of red. He stood up straight and tall, his arms crossed his chest. His body looked tough, but his eyes were kind. He had broad shoulders, and a toned body. I look up at him curiously.
"You're awake." His voice, it sounded so familiar, deep and mature. I could hardly tell he had an accent. I nod up at him, dazed. "How do you feel?"
I was too nervous and terrified to speak. I didn't move, I just sat there.
"Are you okay?" He sounds concerned. He steps forward, I move back, he steps forward, I move back.
He sighed, with annoyance.
"Will you tell me your name?" He begged, irritation in his voice. I hugged my knees and shook my head. I heard him sigh in frustration, "Fine, stay in here until you want to come out."
He turns and leaves the tent. I don't want to leave the tent, I don't know where I am. Soon, not long after the first guy left, another handsome guy comes in. Curly dirty blonde hair to his ears, bright green eyes. Alot more of a friendly playful face. He grins and kneels near me. His smile was more friendly, showing dimples on his cheeks.
"Hi." He held out his hand to shake mine. His aura was welcoming and happy, it make me feel a little more comfortable. I slowly reached my hand, he took it in his warm one. "I'm Scott, I'm glad you're awake, we we're awfully worried."
He had an accent, but I couldn't put my finger on where it's from. I nod slightly, not knowing what to do.
"You feeling ok?" Scott was concerned seeing I was uptight. Maybe I should let loose a bit, he doesn't look like he would hurt me, I relax my shoulders and I nod again. He smiles, and he sits right next to me. I tense up, I was very uncomfortable, he noticed and scooted away a bit, not saying a word.
I slightly scooted away too. I kept my eye on him, watching his every move. We sat in silence for a long while until I couldn't take anymore. I got the courage to say something.
"Where am I?" My voice shook, and was a bit rough. He looked at me worried, he knew I was scared.
"You're in a camp." He gave me a small smile. I stay quiet not wanting to continue the matter and make it turn out bad. He stands up and reaches his hand to me. I hesitantly take it, he pulls me off the ground.
"I'll show you around." He walked out of the tent, I followed. The bright sun hurt my eyes, I squinted and blinked until I could see.
I looked around me, the camp was surrounded by woods, the tent I was in was at the center. There were boys doing different jobs. Such as getting wood, making food, and other stuff.
There were no other girls here, at least not that I saw. Wait, a place with woods and jungle, young boys, and no girls. It sounds familiar, but it can't be.
"You okay?" Scott brings me out of my thoughts. I smile slightly.
"I'm fine." He turns and walks me through camp.
He showed me where the medical center was where boys named, Andrew and John work. Then the meat shack where they cut the meat from the skin and bones. Right next to it, the place where it's cooked. I didn't meet all of the boys but I met, John, Andrew, Scott and Matt. Everyone was very welcoming and kind. Then the mysterious guy that I saw the first time, I didn't see where he was.
Scott had to go do something, so he left me sitting by the fire alone. I looked at all my surroundings, so unfamiliar, so strange.
Suddenly hands went around my face covering my eyes, I jumped, grabbing the strong hands to get them away from me, I let out a loud yelp.
