Hellish Hospital & Massages

"I know." He blushes, obviously not expecting to say that. "But we can't hide this much longer."

"As soon as I get back, we'll talk and figure it out." I peck his lips.

"Wish me luck!"

Emma P.O.V

The bridge is a little bouncy and unstable, but I walk my way across it, through the evergreen and to the clearing where Dec and Holly are waiting.

"Hi Emma," Dec welcomes me to the clearing.

On first glance is a building, kitted out to be an old run-down hospital. It's a grubby, rank and miserable structure kitted with bugs and critters.

Dec and Holly, however, look as beautiful as ever. Holly is wearing a gorgeous sundress from Zara, whilst Dec always looks smart in his suit.

"How are you today?" Dec asks.

"I'm good." I nod. "We've all had a great morning because of the banquet last night, so I guess the pressure is off a little bit to get food for tonight."

"And we heard about Nick's new recipe?"

"He's made these burger things out of beans, bless him. They're tasty though!"

Dec and Holly cackle at my enthusiasm. "Anyway, shall we tell you what's in store?"

"Please."

"So this is 'Hellish Hospital'. On the klaxon, you will work your way through the rooms searching for and collecting stars. For every star you win will get you a meal for camp tonight. There are eleven campmates, so eleven stars to find. Of course, you don't have to-,"

"Nah, get me in there!"

Medic Bob runs over and gives me a pair of goggles. By a pair of male rangers, I'm guided into the waiting room.

I'm hoping dearly that there aren't too many bugs as I'm only wearing my green tee and a pair of shorts, and I don't want bugs near my nether regions.

I'm sat on a bench in a dimly lit 'waiting room' beside two prop skeletons. Even the waiting room has a measly smell, and it's doesn't even have any stars in.

"Can you hear us?" Holly's voice bangs down my eardrum. "You can start on the klaxon, Emma."

After a few seconds, the klaxon rings. I jump up from my seat and charge through a pair of curtains into the 'doctors office'.

Laid out on a doctors table is a skeleton with a colossal python wrapped around its bones. Around the walls are papers and papers, with filing cabinets and a large wardrobe at the back.

"Have a look at the skeleton." Holly guides me.

Having a look at the prop, a star is lying under the snakes tail. "Sorry big guy," I whisper, pushing its slithery skin slightly so I can grab the star.

I put it in my pouch and begin to storm through the drawers. All of them seem to have pesky mud crabs in, but I find the star shortly after a pull it from a crabs claws.

I then reach the wardrobe.

"Crap!" I bellow, spotting the spiders infesting the shelves. Tied up on a string at the back of the closet is a star.

I break down the spider's web like a wrecking ball, bursting through and grabbing the rope. "You've got tonnes of time! Well done Emma! That's your third star."

I close the wardrobe doors and wipe off a few spiders that have habituated on my bare skin.

"Ah!" I scream, seeing the lady that was just chilling in the corner.
