Craig of the creek: From beyond the creek

washed away

Will was packing up for the night, while he was thinking about how he had convinced his parents to let him camp at the creek during the whole summer, that is how independent he was, or at least how much independence his parents gave him, yet something felt off about tonight, he couldn't quite put his finger on it still he headed towards his tent and went inside, then pulled out his journal and wrote 

"day 1:

 location, Graphite Gulch 

today is the first day I'm camping in the gulch in order to protect it from those rock-headed bozos, it is summer already and that means they have free reign of day too, but today was a pretty calm day, guessing they are also setting up their plans, anyway, I got busy finding diner and got lucky that a nice big yellow bullhead catfish bit along with a small large mouth bass, I got some good recipes for them, as soon as I'm done cooking them I'll write them down"

                                                                        large-mouth Bass

                                                             yellow bullhead catfish 

sometime later as he finished drawing and eating and getting ready for bed he heard some rustling outside of his tent, and voices. "are you sure about this Jack?, I mean we have done pretty bad stuff in the past but throwing him in the river? that's  going a little over board dontcha think?"from behind the tent the the 2 mischievous kids were coordinating their scheme in a low voice   "shhh ! be quiet Jeremy , you know he can hear us, and it isn't that bad, he'll be fine this is we're talking about." "yeah i'll be fine" said Will peeking in from outside the bush, scaring Jack and Jeremy, making them jump out of their hideout, followed by Will "you doofuses however, are going to have to get some band-aids and kisses from your mommies after I'm done with you !"

with that Will attacked, swinging his trusty  fishing rod to parry Jeremy's Club, while dodging fireworks coming in from Jack "whoa that one almost hit me" thought will, as a firework whizzed by his head he then looked behind him to see something rather terrifying, he hadn't noticed that he was dangerously close to the edge of the creek, he started trying to think of a way out of this precarious situation, then, in a split second decision he casted the line from his fishing rod towards Jack's crossbow, hooking it, and pulling it away from him . "hey that's cheating!" Jack exclaimed "No rules!." shouted Will as he pointed the crossbow at his rivals "you know that you aren't supposed to fight unless you know you're going to win, right ?" asked Will with a smirk, he knew he had won until he heard a familiar war cry "yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!!" yelled Rose as she charged  out of the woods with her shield in front of her and running towards Will who was taken by surprise, as she knocked him into the water Will was only able to hold on to his fishing rod before he fell into the creek. As Will got carried away by the current he could only look as his enemies laughed and taunted him while throwing his stuff into the creek. He grabbed hold of a rock in the creek bed as to not get sweeped away by the strong current and swam as hard as he could, "HA ! did you forget I'm a good swimmer jack ?!" Will taunted as he swam against the current "nice try hot head !" Jack growled "oh shut it !" yelled Jack as he picked up his crossbow from the floor and loaded a small rock into it "eat this fish breath !" Jack shouted furiously as he fired. Will barely had time to see the stone, right as it hit him square in the head, which knocked him out . The last thing he saw  was the wicked trio heading back into his campsite and then throw some of his things into the water, including his tent. "no... not like this" Will muttered before passing out

Now that the three villains had taken over the Gulch and were done pushing some of Will's stuff into the water, Jack had the opportunity to thank Rose for saving him and Jeremy and he promptly did, "didn't think you would make it, Rosie" said Jack trying to sound cool but grateful, "well I didn't think YOU guys were going to make it, he was about to kick your sorry butts... again" said Rose tauntingly before looking a the wild waters that had just "do you think he'll be alright ?" she asked quietly "eh, you know how he is, I bet he'll come back here again in like, a day or two" shrugged Jack as he set the tarp under a half moon, little did the trio know, Will wasn't going to come back for quite a while...
