            "Ugh... This is totally not radical." The person said. David backed up a bit and Max stared wide-eyed at the pile of robes. Slowly, or it seemed, the hood of the robe fell to reveal fluffy dirty blond (olive if you will) and they had blue eyes. They turned and faced David. "Davey?" David's eyes widened and his pupils shrunk. "Jasper? Wait... how? You went missing? You were never found? PRESUMED DEAD?"

Jasper looked at his hands. He seemed surprised by seeing his own hands. He reached up and ran his fingers through his hair. It was... soft. He looked around and saw a kid waking up another kid. "Neil wake the FUCK up!" The kid slapped Neil and the kid woke up. "Wha? WHO THE HELL IS THAT?" Neil screamed. David started breathing heavily.

"I d-don't understand..." David's eyes darted from side to side quickly. Jasper looked over and his eyes went wide. "Oh darn." Jasper backed away a bit and Max walked up to David. "Look at me, Look at me!" In one quick movement Max slapped David. "Deep slow breaths." David and Max had locked eye-contact. Max led David to sit on the ground. "You just gotta breathe and realize this shit happens all the time." David nodded slowly.

David looked towards the ground and everything was pretty much silent. The only thing that was heard was David's shallow breaths that soon slowed. "O-okay, Max, W-what do you think we should do?" Max took a moment and sighed. "Look man, I'm like ten, how the hell would I know?" David nodded, slightly deterred by Max cursing. Neil soon spoke up, "What if we start by addressing the situation at hand?" Max nodded and Turned to Jasper.

"Okay, so it looks like we're going to have to start with questions." Neil stated calmly. "So, I'm gonna start with Jasper. How did this all happen?" Jasper looked to David before talking. They made quick eye contact and David nodded. "Well, I'm not actually sure. I've seen those robed people around before but I had never bothered to mess with them." Neil nodded and turned to Max. "Don't look at me. The weirdest thing that I feel happened so far would have to be the day with that Daniel guy" David curled in closer to the corner.

Everyone soon heard running feet. They saw Gwen, Nikki, and Nurf. "What the hell happened?" Gwen questioned. David looked around and took a deep breath. He turned back to Gwen and shrugged. "Honestly, I've no clue and I think it be best if we just stayed close to camp for the rest of the day." Gwen nodded.

On their way back, Gwen questioned who the guy following David. David let out a few mumbles of a name hinting at who he was but not a straight answer. Gwen just thought they would take car of everything when they got back.

"Well gang, anyone who hung around with me last night can get some rest if they like. Jasper I'll... have to talk with... you." David looked at Jasper softly and frowned sadly. Gwen then took over. "Alright so we are probably going to move on today but with a calmer activity. So Coloring or crafts first but later will be a walk around the shore." Everyone else followed Gwen.

David and Jasper led the other campers to their tent to rest. He checked for any other injuries but they seemed fine. Nikki, Max, and Neil all huddled by the tent and just started talking. David and Jasper left them and went to get a first aid kit.

"So... I don't know where to start..." Jasper spoke quietly. David looked at him and put on a half-smile. "I wouldn't know either. It's been a long time. But... can I ask what the gosh darn happened?" Jasper shook his head. "I don't even quite know. I know there's been a lot of cults around recently. I guess I was just a test." David nodded. "So... is anything really different?" Jasper shrugged. "I don't have my LE-gear light-up shoes? That kinda stinks." David let out a laugh.

The two talked on. It started slowly but soon started talking more. David kept going on and on about the camp and how much he had cared for it and the campers. Jasper on the other hand talked of all the run-ins he's had while being a ghost. David got himself taken care of and they Got Jasper some clothes. It was the unoriginal Camp Campbell shirt and a pair of David's shorts. The two just kept chatting.

The trio on the other hand had much to talk about. "What the hell happened last night?!" Max asked rather loudly. Nikki looked a bit nervous. I think it had something to do with some cult. They took David's blood and brought Jasper back to life apparently. HA and we thought he was actually alive."

Neil sat there very confused. "This isn't even scientifically possible." Max and Nikki turned towards Neil. "What was your first clue genius?" Max asked mockingly. "Well it definitely wasn't dripping blood on bones. BONES! That's not flesh or a brian. IT'S JUST BLOOD!" Neil slumped back grumbling to himself about how this wasn't possible at all, Max shrugged, and Nikki brought up something about her mom. Everything finally seemed calm again and there were many things to still get straightened out.
