My new counselors are here. I see the van pull up as I'm chopping wood. They start piling out and I really dont care for their appearences but hey, kids will be kids right.

"Excuse me miss, we need some help." A girl with long dark hair and a very revealing outfit calls as the boy removes his arm from her shoulders.

I see there's a man laying in the back of the van with a blanket.

"Oh my God, he's hurt what happened?" I asked trying to seem concerned. Which I kind of was, I know this man, but he shouldn't be here.

"We kinda had an accident-" the dark skinned boy went to say but was cut off by the blonde in the sluttty dress.

"We found him on the side of the road." She finished fake smiling.

I squinted my eyes at all of them "Ok, get him to the infirmary." I say leading them.

🔪 🔪 🔪

I was setting up my station when i saw a group of young peoplr carrying a man wrapped in a blanket. I immediately jump up holdong the door open.

"What happened to your friend?" I ask calmly.

"He was hurt on the side of the road so we brought him here." The guy looking like a walking Ken doll answered. Bullshit.

"Is he gonna die?" The skinny (too innocent to be true) looking girl asked.

"Not on my watch." I reply hooking him up to an IV.

"Ok kids, this is nurse Rita shes new to camp too. Lets give this guy his rest and let me show you around and introduce you to chef Bertie." Margaret says.

🔪 🔪 🔪

"Hey Margaret!" I say seeing her and the young people approach.

"Dibbs." I hear the blonde boy whisper.

"You wouldnt know what to do with it if you had it handsome." I shoot back which earns a shocked look from the boy and a snicker from the girl beside him.

"I like her. Hey I'm Amy." She says shaking my hand.

"Bertie." I reply putting my cigarette in my mouth to shake her hand. Then tell the kkds to help unload the groceries.

🔪 🔪 🔪

Margaret showed us the showers and explained the rules. Girls shower in the morning, boys at night. And the boy and girls cabins. We stood at the porch of her cabin as she was finishing the tour/introduction.

"Girls are red, boys are blue. Dont even try to make purple." She says.

"You expect us to stay celibate all summer?" Ray asked.

"I can't stop you from self mutilation but no sex. This is a clean, Christian camp." She replied sternly.

"Didnt you hear about the sex revolution? Sex won." Xavier said. I rolled my eyes.

Then she started babbling, I tuned her out again. Something's not right about Margaret but I can't put my finger on it.

"Amy, you coming?" Brooke asked.

I broke out of my stare I had on Margaret I don't trust her. "Yeah, just enjoying the scenery." I reply.

🔪 🔪 🔪

It's dark and getting cold now. Amy changed out of the out for I picked for her and decided to wear her boring jeans, t-shirt, and flannel over shirt. We decided to make a campfire and party a bit before camp starts in the morning.

"So, you guys new here too huh?" Rita asked lighting up a cigarette.

"Yeah, wanted to get outta LA." Chet answered.

"I hear ya, I couldnt take that city ine more minute working at Hawthorne Hospital." She said.

Xavier took a seat next to Amy as he handed her an unopened can of beer. Everyone was chatting and I was trying to think of an idea to sneak off to meet Rick.

"Y'all kniw thid camp is the sight of a murder spree right?" Rita says.

"Oh come on Rita, I know this is tradition but cut the shit." Xavier says.

"For real a guy slaugtered all the 10 people 14 years ago. They called him Mr Jingles because he carried around keys. He used to be in the military, he fought in Nam. Couldn't find any work but here and he went crazy, hopped their ears off after as souvenirs." She explained.

Thrn Margaret came out of nowhere. "If you're gonna tell a story, tell it right. 9 people died that night not 10." She says.

"Who survived?" I asked.

Then she moved her hair back revealing her missing ear. And sitting down beside Chet as we all expressed our shock.

"So Mr Jingles is real?" Amy asked looking freaked out. Xavier tried re assuring her by rolling his eyes and shaking his head.

Margaret proceeded to blab on about the story and how "God saved her". Then she said that was the ladt time it was to be mentioned and left.

"Alright I dont know about you guys but I could use a joint after hearing that." Ray said.

"Fuck, its in the van." Xavier said.

Now's my chance. "I'll get it." I practically jump up as he throws me the keys.

"Hurry up about it Montana." He calls as I take off.

🔪 🔪 🔪

I was hiding in the eoods watching everyone at the campfire, half listening to a slaughter story and admiring the light from the fire illuminating Amy's face. I was in a trance when I heard footsteps approaching. So cautiously I grab my hinting knife ready to strike.

"Whoa, babe its me chill." Said Montana.

"Oh, hey." I say.

"So uh, I was thinking. Why don't we call off this murder. I mean she is my friend and shes into Xavier. Just look at em." She said as we watched them talking and laughing by the fire.

"Xavier, still can't get over that douchey name." I say with a huff.

"Rick, I'm serious. We can just be together, screw everyone else." She says. Satan shes annoying.

"Fine, but I'm killing SOMEONE. You drug me out here." I say through my teeth.

"Ok well I gotta get back before they start to suspect something." She says pecking my lips before leaving.

Once she's out of sight I wipe my lips off in disgust. I gotta lose this bitch and get my Lilith back. The rage starts building up and I'm groeing impatient as I continue to watch her with preppy boy.
