Sam's dream:

I'm cooking dinner and this guy is watching me.... I have this overwhelming nausea appear out of nowhere. I ran to the bathroom just in time to throw up. I clean up and go back to the food and turn off the stove top and put my food into a tupperware container. As I'm heading to bed I tripped and started falling, but instead of hitting the floor I continued to fall...
Sam's POV:

I jolt awake and almost smack my head on the top bunk. I'm so confused about that dream... I'm probably the only one awake right now, so what to do. I fish through my bag and find the sketch book I carry around with me. I  usually sketch whatever comes to mind, but I have no clue today. I start to draw the basic outline of someone's face, neck and shoulders. By the time I got the shape how I wanted it it was 6:45 ish and Kat woke up. She looked over at me with panic in her eyes. I place my sketch book off to the side and walk over to her bed.
"Are you ok?" I asked her really concerned.
" Kind of.... I-I mean now I am." Kat stuttered.
"Bad dream?" I asked knowing the answer already.
Kat just nodded.
"I had one too.... That's why I'm awake." I whispered.
" I'm sorry... Wanna talk about it?" She asked.
"Nah." She calmed down. "Can I draw you?" I asked thinking of something for us to do.
"Sure there's nothing much to do right now so yeah." She replied.
"Ok I'm not that good, but if you want it after I'm done you can have it." I said.
She posed and now I begin to draw her as best as I can.

1 hour later:

"Done." I said still trying not to wake anyone else.
"Yeah?" Kat asked.
"Yep." I confirmed.
I flipped the sketch book so it faced her and she immediately gasped.
"It's wonderful Sam." She said probably a little too loud since the leader shifted around for a little bit.
"Do you want it then?" I asked
"Yes." She replied fast.
We were starting to get bored so we started asking each other questions and answered them as truthfully as possible, just to pass the time.

15 minutes later:in one of the other cabins.

Colby's POV:

I woke up to Jake tapping my hand.
"What do you want?" I asked groggily.

"Can I come up?" He asked sounding like he was crying.

"Yeah. Come on up." I replied
He got up and motioned to the sleeping bag asking if he could get in.

"Yeah you can." I said sliding over. He smiled and climbed in.

"What's wrong?" I asked him cause he was still crying.

"I- I had a-a b-bad dream." He stuttered between breaths.

"I'm sorry...." I said sorrowfully

"Did you have a good dream?" He asked.

"No... I can't dream anymore.... I either get black or a nightmare." I told him.

"Oh... I'm sorry..." He replied.

I nudged Jake making him look at me and I leaned in and kissed him "I'm gonna go on a walk." I said before shimmying out of the sleeping bag and climbing down to get my shoes on to go  adventuring around the camp, making sure to memorize which way I turned so I wouldn't get lost.

By the time I got back the leader, that scolded me last night, was walking towards the cabin my stuff was in.

I checked the time and started running towards the back door of my cabin luckily it's unlocked. I stepped in and silently walked to my bunk and whispered," Jake climb down and back into you're bunk."
He obeyed while I was taking off my shoes and I  climbed back up to my bunk, laid down just in time for the leader to open the door. I sat up and looked at him. He just nodded his head.
"Cole, pack up your stuff and get it ready to move to the other cabin." He said in a hushed but sharp voice.
" Please call me Colby... Ok." I replied pissed that he used my first name.
"I'll be back in a few minutes. I'm gonna wake up the other cabins." He said before blowing his whistle. The other kids all flinched at the screeching sound. Jake whimpered. I leaned over the edge and looked at him. "I'll be down in a sec. Ok?" I said trying to calm him down.
He nodded and curled up.
I quickly put all my stuff in my bag and rolled up my sleeping bag.
I moved it all to the edge of the bunk and climbed down.
I sat next to Jake on his bunk and hugged him. He put his head in the crook of my neck and started sobbing... Poor boy...I remember when I used to be like this. I ran my fingers through his hair attempting to calm him. His sobbing subsided and he looked up at me. We slid further onto the bunk and he pushed me against the wall. He pressed his lips against mine and moved to sit on my lap. I kinda pushed him away. He pulled away and sat there looking into my eyes. "Why did you push me away?" He asked sounding sad.
"I'm sorry this doesn't feel right anymore..." I said softly.
"Its ok." He said. I gave him a gentle kiss on the cheek. He all of a sudden jumped off of me when he heard the door start to open. I jumped up and grabbed my stuff off the top bunk. The leader looked at me and said, " Come on hurry up." He said quickly before turning over to the leader and shaking him awake. When the leader of my cabin was awake the main leader and I walked out into the blinding sunlight. I put my earbuds in and started playing some Jon Bellion songs.
