Summer Camp

Chapter 15

Breakfast for the two cabins was silent. Everyone are their food, questions growing with each bite they took.

 "Hey Shane, has she said anything to you? About her and what happened to her neck?" Val asked, being the brave one to finally ask.

 "No. She never says anything." Shane lied, and they all knew it too, but didn't press any further.

 "Ok everyone. After breakfast, we have CPR training, then service class, then lunch and then we can go check on Jevine afterwards." Natalie said, reading from her plans. Everyone silently nodded as they finished their meals.

.

 "Can I leave now? I heal quickly!" Jevine complained to Ms. Vikki, who wasn't letting her leave.

 "No, I can't. Your allergy is far too deadly to just brush off after ten hours. You need a full 24 hour rest before I'm sure that your body is fully healed from its allergic reaction." She said for the millionth time.

 "Can I sat least get breakfast? Something to snack on?"

 "I will pick something up for you once I'm done filling out these papers. It'll only be few more minutes."

 "Fine!" Jevine groaned, falling back onto the bed. 

Ms. Vikki finished quickly, then locked the door as she left so Jevine couldn't leave. But she didn't know how smart Jevine was at escaping. She got to a window and unlocked it easily, for it was a simple window lock, and she jumped outside. 

She checked to see if the coast was clear, and when it was, she ran for the forest on the other side of the camp. Not the one with the river in it. 

She found a path and followed it for as far as she dared to go.

 "This should be far enough. They won't think of looking in here. This place is supposed to be prohibited anyways. I'm safe here." She said to calm herself down. She sat up against the tree and fell asleep.

Meanwhile, Ms. Vikki came back with the food. She opened the door, but dropped the food in shock when she saw the window open. She ran over to the speakerphone she had for emergencies and stared talking.

 "Jevine Mitcham from Deer cabin is missing. I repeat, Jevine Mitcham from Deer cabin is missing." She said, running back out to look for her.

.

.

 "Jevine Mitcham from Deer cabin is missing. I repeat, Jevine Mitcham from Deer cabin it's missing."

 "She's missing?!" Debra shouted, looking at the others.

 "Everyone go look for her. Natalie and I will go help Ms. Vikki." Asher said, running off and leaving the cabins in a confused shock.

 "Where would she go? We don't know her that well." Lola said.

 "We can check the cabins first. Maybe she went back to get something, and we can catch her before things go to far." Ryan said, leaving everyone back to the cabins.

She wouldn't have gone to the river, would she? No. It's across the whole camp from where the nurse building is, and anyone could've spotted her. Where could she have run of to then? Shane thought as he ran with them.

.

.

Jevine woke up, five hours later. Her stomach growled in hunger.

"I need to get back to the camp and find some food." She muttered, getting up and looking around.

"Um... Where am I?"

She quickly looked at her surroundings, but everything looked the same. She tried looking for the path that she followed, but she couldn't find it.

.

.

"Do you think that she got lost? Maybe she tried running into one of the forests and doesn't now how to get back." Mindy said, skipping alongside the group.

"Would she do that? Run into the woods without knowing how to get back?" Cooper asked. Shane stopped in his tracks and everyone turned to face him as he did.

"She would if she's scared and desperate. She actually might be lost in the forest." He said, looking back at the nurse building and to the forest that was next to it.

"But that side is off limits. Would she actually go there?" Sevaline asked.

 "I think she would. Let's get going. There is no time for going back and telling Asher or Natalie." Zachary said, taking the lead in a responsible manner for once.

 "We can't get lost in there too though. We need markers. Like rocks or branches." Debra said.

 "Everyone gather up big breaches to hammer into the ground. That's what we'll do." Malcom said.

Everyone began to get as many sticks as they could and one big rock to hammer them into the ground as they went along. Once they got enough, they started walking into the first, marking the way they went as they did.

.

.

"I'm done. I'm cold. I'm stupid for running into a forest I haven't mapped out." Jevine said, rocking back and forth on the ground. 

"I want to go home. I want to be with my brother and his amazing girlfriend. I want to see them get married. I want them to be happy." She continued to mutter to keep herself distracted.

"Someone will find me. Eventually. They'll-"

"How far are we? We only have three branches left!"

Jevine stood up in a moment's notice from hearing Zachary's voice. She looked around and saw the group walking around with the last few branches.

Without wasting another second, she ran as fast as she could to them and practically jumped on Shane, making him fall.

"I'm not alone. I'm not lost. I'm not a murderer." She said, shaking from fear, relief, joy, and so many other emotions.

"Jevine! What were you going out here?!" Debra shouted, pushing Shane aside and hugging Jevine herself.

"How do we get back to the camp?" Jevine said, standing up.

"We made a branch path. Come on. Let's get you back to the nurse." Cooper said, helping her walk.

"No! Not back there! She'll keep me locked up in that one room building and I'll go insane! I can't be locked up after I'm given my allergy medication!" Jevine shouted, getting out of his grasp.

"Jevine, are you ok?" Val asked, slowly waking up to her with her arms outstretched.

"No. No. No! I can't! My head hurts! Leave me alone! I want to go home! Leave me-"

She fell on the ground, past out from the injection she was given.

"Ms. Vikki?! How did you know we were here?!" Malcom asked.

"I followed you. Now, let's get her back to the building. She needs rest. I didn't think that i would bed to tell you this, but it looks like I need to. After she takes her medication for her apple allergy, her side affect is being unconscious yet conscious. She's also walking in a very same way you could say." 

"Was she dreaming or living her past? Because she mentioned something about not being murderer." Lola said.

"That is for her to share if she wants. Not me. Now enough talking. Wet need to get her back."

Malcom and Tristan creatures Jevine and walked back to the camp with everyone following behind, wondering the same thing about the murderer she mentioned.
