  Humming to myself,I read my comic book in peace.Moonlight streamed through the windows of the cabin as my friends and I nestled themselves up for the night.I glanced around to observe my surroundings.

  Raj read his book across the cabin from me,his eyes gouged to the pages as he read the book.He had been praying to "Lakme" fifteen minutes ago.Paul was in the bathroom,crying as Rowan laughed about how he was a pussy.Buster lay in his bed comfortably,snoring quietly.

  Bored,I made sure nobody was looking at me.I sighed to myself and climbed out of bed silently,setting my comic onto the pillow.Paul's sniffles of guilt filled the air.His few words were tinged with guilt and sadness.I slipped my shoes on and stepped outside.

  Moonlight shone onto my face as I slowly strolled down the dirt track behind the Counsellor's Cabin.Trees loomed over me,their bright green leaves dousing me in a pale green light.

  Humming to myself,the dim outline of Thomas and Sylvie's house came into view.I hurried to the front door and stepped towards the open window.The kitchen was empty,with the exception of a small cat sleeping on a chair.

  While the cat purred,I climbed through the window,stealthily peeking out from behind the doorway.Kari,Meg,Zuzanna and Iona stood around the living room,split into couples;Meg stood with Kari while Zuzanna sat on the sofa with Iona.

  Sylvie entered the living room.
"Welcome,Ladies.I have designed a MURDER MYSTERY night!"she giggled.Behind me,the phone rang.
"I'll get that,"she told her friends,turning around and making her way to the kitchen.I ducked behind the door and crossed my fingers.

  The elderly woman picked up the phone for a few seconds,saying a few words before hanging up.
"I must go to Thomas and I's bedroom.He left his wallet there,"she said,strolling upstairs.

  "Where is Thomas?"Iona asked.
"Thomas?He and Ronnie went for a walk.You know,men,"Kari smiled at her junior. The brunette scratched the back of her head.Zuzanna giggled and kissed Iona.

  Meg turned her head to see while Kari blushed and cupped her hand over her mouth.
'COR!I didn't know you were 'friends'!"she blushed deeply.

"NO!PLEASE,NO!NOOOOOOOOOOO!" Sylvie fell out of the bedroom,a needle in her eye.I ducked behind a counter and whimpered while Zuzanna,Iona,Meg and Kari rushed to their friend's aid.

  "I think it's part of the mystery,"Iona told them.
"NO IT ISN'T!SHE'S DEAD!DEAD!!!'Zuzanna sobbed,backing up against the wall. Meg screamed and fell down the stairs,landing at the bottom.She stood right back up and stared in shock.

  I climbed out of the window,unnoticed.I hurried back into my cabin and crept back inside.Patrick and Raj were asleep by now.I sighed in relief and climbed back into bed.

  "You're a pussy!You can't let a bitch fuck you!"Rowan boomed.
"Please,stop!" Paul hurried out of the bathroom,closing the door behind him and hugging me.I hugged back.

  Paul's soft hand pressed against my back as we hugged,the scent of daisies drifting up my nostrils from his hair.Rowan entered the room and groaned,climbing into bed and falling asleep.
