Camp Illusion (FanFic) (Third book in Epilogue Series)

Chapter Ten

Tiffany felt a small amount of warmth get cast onto her face as the sun shone through the window and onto her face. She blinked open her eyes and saw the sun through the window. She sat up and ran a hand through her hair. Maybe it was a dream... She yawned, stretching her arms and getting out of her bed. She got ready and realized she was the first person awake. She walked up to the front window and looked out. She saw Anthony from the night before, walking past the window casually. He felt her eyes and looked at her. She did a shy wave and he waved back. She turned around and sat down on the couch to put her shoes on. One by one, everybody else woke up and got ready for the day. They grabbed the schedule and slowly made their way to the Dining hall. For some reason, none of them were feeling chatty, not even Tiffany. They walked inside and sat down at their table. Nicholas was looking around and saw Dennis and Rosie were already there, and it seemed that Rosie was begging Pegasus for something.

"Please! There must be something you can do!" Rosie said in a desperate voice.

"I'm just a camp director," Pegasus said bordly, "i'm not a detective."

"But Robin wouldn't just run away!" Rosie wailed as Pegasus walked away and Chestnut walked up to her,

"I wouldn't be too worried," Chestnut said, "the Grizzly bears probably got to him, circle of life ya know?" Rosie just stared at him as he walked away asking, "has anyone seen my shotgun?" Nicholas didn't say anything, he just turned around and tried to distract himself by seeing what they were going to be doing that day. He saw that swimming had suddenly popped up at the bottom as a 'Everyone' activity, and that for their main activity they were going to be doing a nature hike with Chestnut.

"Mother F-" He stopped himself when he saw a boy with a red whistle and blue swim trunks walk through the door. The boy looked familiar, but Nicholas couldn't put his finger on it. The boy walked up to the stage and stood next to Pegasus.

"Hey everyone!" Pegasus said in a peppy voice, "I want you to meet your new swimming instructor Riptide!"

"Hello Riptide!" The campers all cheered. Riptide did a little wave, but didn't say anything.

"Anyways, enjoy your breakfast and go have fun!" Pegasus said, putting the microphone back and walking off the stage, with Riptide trailing behind her. I swear I know that boy... Nicholas thought, standing up with the rest of his family and getting in line to get breakfast...

"So..what's on the schedule for today?" Tiffany asked. Nobody said anything until Drac looked angrily at Ericka as he gave her 20$.

"Why are you giving her money?" Nicholas asked.

"We had a bet to see who would talk first." Drac grumbled. Ericka split the 20 and gave 10 to Mavis.

"You bet on me didn't you?" Nicholas asked his father.

"Of course!" Drac exclaimed, "but your sister is a chatterbox."

"I heard that." Tiffany piped up.

"THERE you guys are!" Chestnut said cheerfully, walking up to them. Mavis snached the schedule and looked at what they were going to do, and groaned. She passed it to Johnny, Johnny passed it to Drac, and Drac passed it to Ericka. "Why the long faces?" Chestnut asked, "we're going to have fun!"

"Really doubt that." Tiffany mumbled. Chestnut led them to the edge of a dirt path that looked pretty worn. There was a sign at the beginning saying, BEWARE WILDLIFE. Chestnut walked right past it either because he didn't see it or he couldn't read. They walked through the forest and tried to admire the beauty, but Chestnut was walking pretty fast for a leisurely walk. He was whistling the tune to 'Bad Guy' and skipping to the beat. They heard something large walking through the undergrowth up ahead. Chestnut stopped,
