[NO LONGER UPDATING] Camp Alpine

Summer camp?!

Who even names there kid Louise? My name sounds like I'm thirty but I'm really seventeen.

My dad, who is a hunter of the supernatural, comes into my room and gives me a suitcase while I'm cleaning my gun. I was taught at a young age how to protect myself against the world and the things that go bump in the night. I don't want to be a hunter, I really don't, but I have no choice. This is my destiny and I hate it.

"Get packed" Dad says and I look up at him.
"Are we already leaving?" I sigh and he sighs.
"You are, I'm not" Dad smiles a devilish smile and I raise my eyebrow at him.
"Where am I going?" I ask and put my gun down on my bed.
"Summer camp...make sure you get your guitar" Dad says and I look at him really confused and slightly in shock.
"Summer camp?" I ask slowly and he nods sarcastically.
"Yes that is what I said, you know, when kids go away for the summer and meet new friends" Dad says and I scoff.
"Yeah I know what that is but I'm not a kid" I say and cross my arms.
"Louise it's just a music summer camp for young supernatural hunters, will you please consider going?" Dad asks and I sigh. I nod and he gives a small nod back and leaves my room.

I sigh to myself and think. I could meet new friends. Eh. No wifi. Oh no. Music for the whole summer and no monsters. Yes! What if something happens to dad while I'm gone? I could never live with myself if something bad would happen to him.

I finally come to a decision and I walk out of my room. I see my big brother sitting on the couch and I ruffle his hair. Luke is twenty and our big sister Molly is twenty as well, they're twins. Yep that's right, I have two siblings and my mom died when I was five.

I walk over to dad and smile.

"Hey I thought about it and if you're 100% about this then yeah I wanna go" I say and he nods.
"Great go get packed up, we leave in five hours" Dad says and I walk back to my room.

I start packing my clothes and I notice most of them are gray or black. I have to shave my legs for the whole summer. Noooo!

I finally pack up my clothes and I put my guitar into its case. It's nothing special, just a solid black acoustic. I play every day and I mostly play classic rock.

I come back out of my room to hear dad and Luke arguing so I stay put and listen.

"Dad I don't want her to go by herself, you know how young boy hunters are" Luke says and I scoff softly to myself.
"Luke I get where you're coming from but I think this will be good for Lou" Dad says and he uses my nickname that makes me cringe. I hate my nickname.
"Dad how long is the summer camp?" Luke asks.
"About 2 weeks" Dad says and Luke sighs.
"Dad I still don't agree with this" Luke says and dad sighs.
"Why are you so against it?!" Dad asks and Luke scoffs.
"I just don't want anything to happen to her" Luke says.
"Nothing will happen, they have phones at the camp, and Louise is responsible" Dad says and I smile to myself. He's never called me responsible before.
"Ok then, do you want me to take her?" Luke asks.
"Yeah sure, the camp is two hours away so you better go get her" Dad says and I walk back into my room.

I make it look like I was packing a little more stuff when Luke comes in.

"I'm gonna save the lecture for the car, lets go" Luke says and I look up at him.
"Uh ok" I say and grab my suitcase and my guitar.

We walk out to the car after I hug dad and tell him bye. I put my stuff into the car and get in the passenger seat. Our car is a 67 Chevelle which looks like the Chevy impalas. Almost anyway, more differences than similarities though. Luke gets in and we leave.
