I scream and try to run but a hand grabs my arm causing me to drop the flashlight. Having a small frame it wasn't hard for them to stop me. "hey!" The voice was familiar. I turn around with tears in my eyes. "hey. It's okay. It's just me" he says in a calm male voice. I try to shake him off. "Joel! It's Justin." Hearing that made me calm almost instantly. When he knew I was calm he let go of my arm. I grabbed the flashlight and checked to make sure it was Justin. But when I shined it in his direction there was nothing. I shined it south towards the camp. He wasn't walking on the path. Maybe he's walking the long way. I walk back and see the dull embers of the fire. Justin is sitting in a chair. I sit on the opposite side of him and the fire. "damn you walked fast" I looked up "what are you talking about?" I laugh "nevermind" I could never regret anything more than that one word. He and I chatted for a short while before heading to bed.
I could have sworn halfway through the night I heard something moving around outside. But it was mostlikly one the others. Morning came and so did Roger and Dakota. We all swam and goofed around. I decided to go on a walk but refused to walk alone so I dragged Roger with me. We walked far south along the creek. We stopped when we heard a loud screech. "must have been a bird" he says. I heard the same sound last night. I looked around and didn't see anything. We both started to walk again. We talked. I explained why my head was bandaged. Then turned to walk back. When we turned around there was a man standing there holding a shot gun. "You kids should go home." And with that he turned and left. No explanation. Nothing. He then walked through the woods. Roger and I kinda freaked out walked back to the camp area. When we get there what we saw was fucked up. Everything we had set up was shredded. Everything tossed and flipped. Emma ran over to us. "I don't know what happened everything was all good and we turned round and this is what we saw. It happened so quickly and quietly." She was so shaken up. "what are we going to do?!" I looked around. The car was miles away. It take a while to get back. "the sleeping bags seem fine. We can sleep outside and leave early tomorrow morning." She seemed to dislike the option. "no I wanna leave NOW".
We all ended up walking until nightfall. It came to the point we couldn't walk anymore so we all sat in a circle. Emma had her flashlight pointed up and into the trees. We all talked and told stories. Me. I was messing with my knife. I decided to lookat my reflection but what was staring back at me wasn't my eyes. I turn around to see emptiness. But then I heard a multitude of screams. I turn around to see that everyone was gone.
