Camp Mythical

Rumor Tree

It was just a tree that was close by the camp. A tree that was said to hold many rumors. Skyler was one of the first to wake up the next morning. She got dressed and went out to the little shore close to camp to sit. She closed her eyes and relaxed. She opened her eyes though when she realized she wasn't the only one sitting there.

"It's a nice place to think isn't it Skyler..."Andrew said sitting beside her. "I quite like it, don't you?"

"Uh... Yes, it's very nice," Skyler stuttered, "I never really got your name last night.."

"It's Andrew. Welcome to camp by the way, I hope you like it." Andrew responded.

He got up and left to his tent, leaving Skyler quite curious. Though she knew she had planned to do at least one thing that day, so she got up. She walked over to the rumor tree that was between Julia's and her tent. She walked over to it and looked for something that had her name on it.

She frowned finding a few. She read them inside her head. Soon she heard a rustle of leaves, she turned around, and then reached for her dagger. But before she could grab it a cold hand grabbed hers.

"Oh no no no.. We don't need that Skyler." A cold voice said, "Stay calm and quite and there will not be a problem." He took the dagger from her and placed it to her neck. "You're coming with me... now MOVE!" Skyler walked and he led her farther away.

Suddenly another person showed up, a girl with white hair. Her eyes were red, but she seemed very happy. "Oh I'm so glad to see you back safely with the girl! So I was thinking our outfits should be a bit more white!" The girl said.

"Our hair is white already, why do our outfits have to have white?" The guy asked her. They kept talking, as Skyler moving. It seemed like forever until she finally arrived at a small area with a few tents. From what she could see right away was three main tents. A silver one, a grey one, and a light blue one. The girl told Skyler to go into the silver tent, and then walked away. Skyler walked in, and sat on a chair, her knife still pressed against her neck by the guy.

He tied Skyler to the chair, and he told her they had to wait for someone. It wasn't long until a red haired guy came in. He looked like the head person of the group.  Skyler thought to herself, Something about this guy is just--I don't know---intriguing.. But of course there must be something up... I read something about this once.. I was in my room, ignoring all the shouting from my window, trying to get me to come outside.. But there was something about this... that seems a lot like what was in that book. As Skyler was thinking, he walked right over to Skyler calmly, and began to speak.

"So you're the new girl?" He spoke casually, but Skyler only gave him a death glare. "Chris leave the girl alone will you." The guy moved the knife from her neck, handed a black bag to the red head, and left the tent. The red head went over behind Skyler, and started to untie her. "I'm sorry about him Skyler. The thing is... I wanted to talk to you.. We heard you might know something.." He said, and sat down on a chair.

"Hmph... I should have no business with you. I have no reason to talk to you," Skyler scowled, "I shouldn't have to answer to somebody who puts my own knife to my neck, forces me to go.. wherever I am, and that tied to me to a chair. I don't even know you'd name."

"I'm Ethan."

"I don't care," she spat.

"What's the problem? I untied you, and I had told him to bring you here nicely.." he stated.

"And he didn't. Now I am leaving!" She shouted as she got up. Before she could even step a foot outside the tent, he grabbed her wrist.

"Now you listen to me! I have some questions, and god dammit you will awnser them!" He said roughly.

She stared at him for a second, as he waited for an anwser. She spoke up, "Enchantment."

He stepped back. "It didn't work? It works on everyone.. Wait, how did you know what it was?"

"Your eyes. They're sacred blue. And it worked, but you should try perfecting that skill."

"Okay... how about a deal, I won't do that again, if you anwser some questions?"

"Fine, what is it? Huh, I swear it better not be something stupid.." Skyler said curiously.

"Okay, so I'm looking for someone... She is gone missing.. She has sacred blue eyes that like mine.. I heard you met a wolf last night-"

"So what?" She interrupted.

"Can you tell me about the wolf?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because it's my own personal buisness. Plus you can't exactly demand anything, nor prove anything. Now I wish to go back to the camp, it is almost noon anyway."

Ethan nodded and brought Skyler outside the tent. As they both left the tent, Ethan turned into a black wolf. Skyler jumped back, and yelped.

Ethan looked at her, and began guiding Skyler back towards the camp. Skyler followed him willingly.

As they walked, Skyler started a conversation. "So, You're a werewolf.. Where's your pack?" Skyler asked.

Ethan looked at her questionably for a second. Wolves afterall, had their own language. "Well.. It's a touchy subject.. I left because of someone...Someone who did something that... really-really angered me."

"Oh.. I understand a bit.. What about your parents, and your family?" Skyler asked.

He looked over at her seeing that she understood the language. "Well.. I was really close with my dad... he was actually the leader in the pack.. I wasn't as close with my mom.. I did have a sister once though... She-She's the one who's missing... I've been looking quite a long time for her.. I know her & I never really got along.. but an older brother will care deeply for their younger sister." Ethan spoke distantly.

"R-really? Wow.. I didn't think a siblings bond could be that strong... I.. Kind of miss my family.. I guess we all got family problems don't we?" Skyler sighed. They continued on walking until they reached the Rumor Tree.
