Avatar friends Chapter 1
It started during their last summer together, at Camp Green Lake.
The four girls shared a cabin together, and over a short time they became best friends. One hot day after lunch all of the campers decided to go for a hike. The group of friends were usually always in the back of the pack, and today was no different.
"Im so tired" Gabby exclaimed. "Let's go back to the cabin and relax."
"Ok, but are we really going to walk all the way back on this long path?" Lisa asked.
"Yeah," Dannie added. The camp leaders lead us out into the middle of the path and…"
"OK OK, I'm sorry I brought it up," Gabby interrupted with a giggle.
"Why don't we just take a shortcut through the woods?" Tia suggested.
"Do you know the way? Gabby asked anxiously.
"Yeah, I used to walk around here when I was a kid" said Tia.
So the four girls agreed to take the shortcut through the woods. After an hour the girls came to a fork in the road. Tia looked confused.
"What is it Tia? Asked Dannie.
"Ummmm I don't know which way to go from here" Tia said while scratching her head
Dannie looked at Tia with a shocked expression.
"But you said-"
"I know what I said!" exclaimed Tia.
"Stop fighting you two. That's not going to get us out of this place!" exclaimed Gabby.
"She is right" Lisa reasoned.
"So what do we do now?" Asked Dannie
"I guess we just turn back." Lisa said disappointedly.
As the four girls started back across the forest, they had all forgotten which path to take back to the cabin.
"Tia, do you know the way back to the main path? Lisa asked nervously.
"Umm no" said Tia nervously as she twisted her long black hair around her finger.
"It's starting to get dark." Said Gabby, placing her blond hair in her usual tight ponytail.
"We know that genius" said Dannie, gazing at the, soon to be, pink sun.
"Hopefully the rest of the girls will come looking for us soon" said Lisa, looking at the tall overgrown trees that surrounded them.
Everyone looked at Lisa as if they were thinking the same thought. They all knew that it would soon be too dark to make it to the cabin. So they decided to try to use their supplies to make camp as best as they could. As they started, Lisa heard a strange noise behind a bush about ten meters away from their camp. She pulled back her wavy brown hair so she could hear it better. Then she heard it again. She whispered to Dannie, Tia, and Gabby to hide behind the trees. Dannie then poked her head out from behind the tree to see what it was that made the sound. She pulled her messy brown hair out of her way for a better look. She saw four old men. One was wearing a green rob, the second one was wearing a red rob, the third one was wearing a dark blue rob, and the fourth was wearing a sky blue rob. They all had white hair and long white beards.
"Should we ask them for directions?" asked Tia
"No Way! whispered Lisa. They don't even look friendly, haven't your parents ever taught you to never talk to strangers?"
"Then how are we going to get out of here when we don't even know the way?" asked Dannie.
"How about we just quietly follow them?" Whispered Gabby, hoping the others would agree.
"Fine we will go with Gabby's plan" Lisa said.
The girls started walking behind the man from a distance, hoping they wouldn't notice them. After thirty long minutes, the men stopped in front of a small pond. The girls quietly hurried behind the nearest bush. They were afraid that the old men knew they were being followed. Then, without warning, the old men started slowly walking into the pond until they were completely gone. The girls were stunned with what they had just seen. They looked at each other with the same look of confusion. Then about ten seconds later, a bright beam of blinding light came down from the sky and hit the center of the pond. After a few seconds the beam was gone and the girls were more confused than ever. Before anyone could ask a question, the old men started to walk out of the pond as calmly as they walked in, but there was something different about these old men. They weren't old anymore. The girls looked at the men and saw that their eyes were glowing.
"Are they possessed?" whispered Gabby
"I –I don't think so" said Lisa
The girls heard the ground start to rumble and shake under their feet. Suddenly a great force, a force that almost felt like rock, pushed the girls directly in front of the men. The girls were so scared, they could barley move. After a while the glow in the men's eyes died down. The man in the green rob stepped back from the group of men and shot both of his arms and fingers out in front of him, as if he were punching an invisible person. Seconds later the ground was shaking and once again the girls were pushed by the mysterious force and went flying into the pond. As they struggled and tripped over each other to get out of pond, the big beam of light came and surrounded the pond the same way it did before. While surrounded by the beam, they felt paralyzed, none of them could move even if they wanted to. All they could do was focus on the light and the power it held. A few seconds later, the light faded away again. When the light was gone, the girls swam out of the pond as fast as they could. After a moment of catching their breath, Gabby noticed that the four men were gone.
