I never believed my grandma Sadie, and grandpa Colton they never made it clear what happened that night. Technically she warned me. Until I heard her version of the story and went out myself with friends, like she did. I never truly believed that she could possibly be telling me the truth it had to be a lie right....it couldn't be true.

32 years earlier

"Come on guys it'll be fun it's just a little camping trip what could happen". My friends were all trying to convince me to go on the annual trip. I really didn't want to it was in the creepiest part of town. A couple years back, their was a series of supernatural sightings and a list of kidnappings, apparently my friends don't remember this article. My mind goes back to the conversation as my friend is waving a hand in my face saying my name, I suppose I zone out a lot.
"Ah, man guys I have to study this weekend... for a test". I get out, but I look at my friend and see the disbelief in his eyes. "Don't try pulling that crap on me, I know when your lying you know". I look shocked and mock his distrust. Could never get anything past you ". "Nope"

Later the next day

"Alright do you have everything" I say as my friend tosses me over his shoulder. "You know it." He quickly tosses me on the bed as if I don't weigh anything and suddenly gets serious and asks, "What's the real reason you don't want to go on the camping trip." I start laughing and throw a pillow at him, but he's known me for to long he won't fall for it. I take a deep breath " I don't want to go because of the incident what if it happens to us I know it was awhile ago, but it still scares me." He responds with a pouty lip and a huge grin and says " That's why you have a big strong man like me to protect you." I stand up and suddenly trip, and the next thing I know. His arms are around me and we're close enough to kiss and of course I've always had feelings for him I mean who couldn't. With those green eyes and brown hair he was also ripped. I could see and now feel the biceps around me. Only problem is he has a girlfriend who happens to be my best friend too. As if on cue she walks right through the door on us almost kissing and looking in each others eyes. He quickly pulls me up and tries to explain. She starts laughing and says " I know that Sadie would never betray me and I know how clumsy she is I'm just glad you caught her this time, right?" She looks at us both waiting for an answer that's supposed to be obvious. Awkwardly we both start laughing and I decide this is the moment to leave the room.
