Chapter 1: Knee deep in the dead
Lazlo layed down on his bed with a deep sigh. Frightened to go outside, he prefers to stay in his cabin. This was not natural for him. He loves the outdoors. The sun, the trees, and the sky sounds like a thing campers like the most. Now he would'nt dare to even open the door. He checked his clock. It was 3:00 in the morning witch he knew that it was still dark outside. One thing that he hate and fear the most. It was'nt natural for him either. he always loved to sit around the campfire, making smores and telling scary stories. Even this one. Lazlo looked at his friends sitting right in front of him. Raj, Clam, and Edward were in the same cabin, Holding Lancer rifles and looked through the slits of a nailed- down window. They finally decided to shoot the holes in the wall to fit their muzzles through. As they were about to pull the trigger they heard a powerful screeching noise followed by numerous explosions. They stumbled backwards on the floor. "What the hell was that?" Edward asked while getting up. 'shit, they're here!' Lazlo thought to himself as he looked around, checking if the Locusts were attacking. He pressed the rifle tightly on his right shoulder, pointing at the slit of the window, hoping that it was a false alarm. Edward shot a few rounds until he heard a thud. He knew that he killed a Locust. He shot another wave of bullets until his clip whent dead. Lukily he killed another locust by hearing a faint cry. "What Should we do now?" "I... don't know," Lazlo answered. Edward was pissed off for lazlo saying that. "YOU ALWAYS SAY 'I don't know' AND LOOK AT YOURSELF, YOUR FALLING APART!!!" Edward yelled angerly for hearing Lazlo's phrase for a zillionth time. "YOU NEVER DO ANYTHING BRAVE, SO THAT' S WHY YOU' RE ALWAYS PICKED ON!!! YOU NEVER EVEN TRY TO DO SOMETHING RISKY!!! YOU NEVER DO ANYTHING RIGHT WHEN IT COMES TO THIS!!!" A tear from his eye calmed Edward down. He actually felt sorry for him and what he got himself intio. It's like everything was his fault. Lazlo looked back at a horrifying scene when the locusts attacked Camp Kidny with no mercy. The most terrible thing he saw was a locust chainsawing an innocent camper. Blood sqirted from his body until he was no more than a pile of body parts. Lukily some of the campers escaped with their lives. But Lazlo woud'nt count on that. He checked the t.v. from scout master lumphus'es bedroom and found static. He now saw Edward talking to him calmly and comfortably. "Now Lazlo, I know this is hard on you. But you need to have courage. Now shoulder that weapon and let's kick some locust ass!" Lazlo smiled. He finally got up and shouldered his weapon and walk twords the door. "When we get out of this door, we'll find a way to get outta' this hell hole." He picked up a lanturn and walked out of the cabin. The rest followed. Lazlo looked up to the sky with a big suprise. Bat- like creatures fly around darkened areas and the night sky. "Remember," Edward said. "stay in the light. If you take one step out, you will be killed instantly." He wasn't kidding. Last time he saw that happened was when a group of campers tried to escape a locust horde. They succeded, but unfortunately it turned dark and bats started to rush at them. In no time at all the campers are no more than a pile of meat. Edward now headed tword the speaker tower and found two spotlights on and eight Locusts. Also ther's a pile of dead bodies. The worst place to hide. He placed his back against the pile and felt an uncomfortable squish. His fur stood up as he slided against the bloody pile. Clam, Raj, and Lazlo joined in. "How do you turn on the chainsaw?" Edward wispered. Lazlo founed a red button and pressed it. Suddenly he heard a loud noise from the saw. He knew it was working. But the noise attracted the locusts and started moving tword the pile. He turned on the saw once more and lunged at a locust. The angry monkey sliced the Locust in half, spraying blood all over him. Raj and Clam stood there, wide eyed and frightened by the assult from a peaceful camper. They never see him act like a cold-blooded killer before. But then they realised it's war, kill or be killed. Lazlo pointed his rifle at the remaining seven locusts and opened fire. A spray of bullets knocked a locust down instantly. They reacted by firing back. Lazlo quickly jumped away and hid to a wall of the speaker tower. He later blindfire the locusts one at a time. His friends did the same but Edward chainsawed the last Locust. "Wow, now that was pretty messy." Edward said. "C' mon, we gotta' find a way outta' here!" said Lazlo. He came up to the speaker tower and found controls for lights. Lazlo quckly turned on the power and instantly turned on the lights. not even an inch of darkness was found. The team rushed to the main entrance but it was barricaded. "Shit!" Edward swore. He tried the alternate exit but it was barricaded as well. "Why did they block all of the exits?" said raj. "Exits!" Clam said out of nowhere. "Well duh, they're not stupid!" Edward answered. "They already knew there were survivors so they blocked the exits so ther's no escape." Raj felt scared(as usual). "So it means were trapped???" Raj said in horror. "Not qite," Answered Lazlo. "We still have another option. we'll try to sail all the way to the other side of leaky lake." He looked around and saw a small rowboat with a hook over it to hang the lanturn. Edward pushed the boat and the team jumped in and set sail through the dark and murky waters of leaky lake.
