            Justin could feel his heart pounding and a quick glance around the table confirmed he wasn't the only person disturbed by the rules. He turned and elbowed Peter in his ribs hard.

"Ow! What the hell was that for!" Peter hissed under his breath. The head counselor had resumed speaking, but Justin doubted anyone was listening.

"What the hell kind of camp is this?" Justin struggled to keep his voice down.

"Keep quiet and I'll explain once we're out of earshot of the counselors." Peters voice was calm and collected like usual, but this only served to piss Justin off more.

'He must have known something beforehand! Otherwise there is no way he would be as calm as he is. Peter you're going to answer all of my questions and then maybe, just maybe, I won't pound you into the ground.' Justin glared at his friend and turned his attention back to the camp counselor.

"Those are just some of the activities we have planned for you this summer. Now for our last order of business, cabin groups. Cabin groups are your bunkmates, each cabin can fit four people, so you can pick who you bunk with. Boys must bunk with other boys and girls must bunk with other girls. Now I'm sure you're all hungry, dinner will be served every night here at 8pm and breakfast will be served at 9am every morning." with that Counselor Jeff turned the microphone off and walked over to the other counselors.

No one in the room moved, it was silent except for the buzz of the ceiling fans. Then the microphone clicked on again, "Go on I said you could eat." Jeff said sternly. "If you're not hungry then you can grab your belongings and head to claim a cabin."

Justin got up from the table and grabbed Peter by the back of the shirt and pulled him up from the table. "Let's go Peter we need to claim our cabin." Justin forced each word out of his gritted teeth with such malice that the blood drained from Peters face.

Marcus stood up, "I'll come with, I could use the fresh air." Without saying another word, the three of them left the girls at the table.

Once they were outside Justin let go of Peter's shirt and shoved him hard. "What the hell kind of camp is this! I swear to god Peter you better tell me everything!" Justin said angrily.

Peter straightened his glasses, "I tried to tell you about this place when I invited you, it's not my fault you didn't listen." Peter picked up his bags and began to walk over to a large message board. "As you can see this camp is different, a few months back I was trying to decide what to do for the summer when I found a brochure for this place online. It seemed like a nice camp with a lot of different things to enjoy, and most importantly; electricity." Marcus watched them silently.

Justin cracked his knuckles as he walked over the message board with Peter, "You better get to the point quicker."

Peter was looking at a map of the camp facilities finally he said, "Looks like its this way to the boy's cabins." He started walking towards the left of the main road. "About a week later I was still trying to find a cool science camp or space camp, when I noticed something familiar about the pictures I found on other camp websites. Camp Wolf Stones brochure was made using pictures from other camps all around the country. I knew something weird must be going on out here, so I thought it might be cool to investigate this place. You were complaining about staying home for the summer, so I figured if I brought you with you could help me. I tried to tell you that this place could be weird, but you weren't listening."
