Demi's POV

"I am starving. Let's go eat something." Bethany groaned. We had also bought the boys' tuxedos.

I opened my mouth but someone flashed right between us. When I looked at who it was, the person was wearing a cape with a hood. The person looked at me and I noticed it was female. Her eyes widened and quickly walked away.

Did nobody find that strange?

"Did you see that?" I asked Bethany and Rebecca.

They nodded and stared weirdly at the direction she went.

"Do you think she might be watching us? Because she looked pretty frightened when she saw us." Bethany said with suspicion.

"Who's watching?" Rebecca asked from behind.

"A woman with a cape hood thing." Bethany said unsure how to describe the woman. Rebecca's face softened but tensed in a split second.

After a moment of thinking and silence, Rebecca spoke up.

"I think it's better if we head back. It's getting dark and we have to get some things to eat." Rebecca said, indicating it has been a long day, but seemed angered and tensed.

Bethany seemed to notice and looked at me with a worried look on her face. I gave her a small smile and nodded lightly to insure her worried face.

"Are you coming or not?" Rebecca said in a cold voice. Problem?

"Right." I said in the same tone which Bethany flinched at.

Rebecca turned and walked while I crossed and follwed with Bethany beside me following us like a lost puppy.

I don't know why talking about the woman angered her but she can't just take it out on me or Beth.

Rebecca and I were close since I was born and we never really argued. We respected each other although she was 'just a servant in the palace'. Her words. So this was a stupid way to have an argument.

Although it wasn't a full on argument we are debating each other in our own way.

Rebecca is a woman of her words and I stand when nobody else is. We both support each other in a way.

We both all the grocery without me or Rebecca exchanging a word while Bethany was awkwardly standing between our thined out ice.

We took a cab and headed back home. Rebecca was still cold with a straight face.

Rebecca went straight into the cabin when I heard Ryder's voice.

I tapped Bethany's shoulder and indicated to be quiet and pointed at the back of the cabin.

We secretly went to the back and saw Orset laying on his stomach, resting, Ryder and Blake toasting marshmallows, Alex, Jason and Carter playing on their phones.

"Hey everyone." Bethanh said, smiling sweetly.

The boys muttered a hey back to us, when Bethany suddenly started to get uncomfortable. She fell on her knees and fainted when everyone rushed to her. We all bent down to her level and I checked if she had a fever. No fever.

"What happened? Do you think it is the same as last time?" Blake asked me, worry across his face.

"I think so. But she has no fever or anything."

Blake carried her back to her room and laid her down on the bed.

"Jason can you get some water for Beth?" He nodded his head as he walked downstairs.
