Darkness swirls around me. I can't even see my hands right in front of me. The snowstorm seems as if it will never stop. I am lost. The wind pushes me wildly in different directions, making it hard to walk. The snowy blur finally starts to lift and I see a mountain in front of me. There are huge icicles hanging from ridges. I look up. The mountain seems taller than ever. Looming over me, it makes me feel like an ant. Tiny, unnoticeable, ignored. I fly to the top and see what seems to be a dome of a building. Orange light is bursting out of it, and I start heading towards the building. It gets colder and colder. I land slowly. One step at a time, I reach the building and the light becomes blinding. I try to open the doors but they are locked. I push, I pull. Still locked. I walk over to what seems like a cave not far away. I go inside, sit down, and try to warm up. I shiver and curl up into a ball. Desperation swoops over me. I forget why I am here, what I came for. I want to go home. I try to focus on one thought. Home...
"Rebecca! Rebecca! She's not waking up, is she? Rebecca! Wake up! Wake. Up!"
"What? Wha..." I opened my eyes, wondering why it was sunny and warm. I remembered my dream. So cold...the light...must continue...
I shivered. "Rebecca? Are you okay?" Jessie asked, visibly worried.
"Uh...yeah...I'm okay. Just a dream," I said, trying to convince myself more than I was trying to convince her.
I put on a sweatshirt over my top and a pair of jeans. I realized that I still had my pj top on but decided to change that later. I began to fly and but bumped my head on the door.
Owwwwwww...
I flew outside but was blinded by the light. Instinctively, I headed back to the cabin. My head leaned back a little too far, which caused me to do backflips. I ended up landing on the cabin roof. People watching began to clap, cheer asking for an encore.
Fumes almost bursting out of my ears, I wanted to scream out 'No! This is not a circus act! I was blinded by a light that came out of my cabin. I tried to go back to my cabin but ended up doing backflips!'
I walked away from the gathering of people and flew away as fast as I could. Unfortunately, I didn't see where I was going and flew straight into a tree. The campers behind me laughed. I was so embarassed.
I was laying on the ground when Lily approached, holding my superhero outfit. It was strikingly...well...striking.
I got up hastily and gently took the costume out of her hand. "Wow. This is amazing...it's perfect!"
I held the costume up to my body as if I were wearing it. I thanked her once again as I heard a bell ringing. I saw people going to the building I went to on my first day. I headed in that direction.
Once inside, I searched for my friends and spotted Jack and Colin. I ran and grabbed the chair next to Jack.
Colin laughed at this and said, "Rebecca, you ran over here almost as fast as Jack can!"
I decided to take off my sweatshirt. As soon as I did, the campers behind me laughed and said "Nice shirt!". I turned to look at them ashey continued to giggle. I looked down at my shirt. Oh no. I am still wearing my pj top. I quickly fumbled for my sweatshirt and hastily put it back on. I turned around and slouched into my chair.
A counselor walked onstage with a microphone. He scanned the crowd and said carefully, "Recently, there have been certain items missing from the classrooms and from our activity areas. Two tables have gone missing from the third staff tent and a bucket of glue has also gone missing from the arts and crafts area. A list of missing items has been posted in the dinning hall. If any of you know of their whereabouts, come to the office and you will get a reward. Thank you."
He walked off stage and a new counselor took the microphone. She had a big smile on her face. "Well," she started, "As you know, today is Thursday, and you know what that means. Get into your crime-fighting groups. Today we will fight crime in Verona, Italy."
