Chapter One: The Counselors

Adele Graves couldn't concentrate, the nightmares that she was having night after night plagued her subconscious and wasn't allowing her to think of anything else. All she remembered was that unnamed burned face, the bladed hands, and that frightening cackle that echoed as he... She bit her lip and held her head, trying to shake the assault from her mind. If they were nightmares, they were just that, so why were they affecting her so much? Maybe it was just because it was going to be her first year of Counseling at Camp Crystal Lake... but the man in her dreams didn't fit the profile of the supposed camp killer...

She sighed before putting her drumsticks down, and the room quieted as Raven looked over. "Hey you alright?" She asked, blinking as she watched her drummer get up from her seat holding her head. "Is it your migraine coming back?" Raven watched Adele nod, but her eyes told different. She called off practice early and followed Adele softly, putting a hand on her shoulder.

"Hey, so tell me the real reason why you're head is swimming with the Devil?" Adele gave her a look, her short, spiked green hair contrasting beautifully with her brown eyes. Raven smirked a bit. They may have been exes but they were still were as close as they were when their relationship was still burning. She finally smiled.

"My nightmares again," Adele said softly. She was always the more boyish one, shopping in the men's section rather than the women's, and loved to keep her hair less than an inch long. However, she wasn't completely turned the other way, she was Bi, but rarely trusted men, especially after what her last boyfriend had done. Raven rose her eyebrows.

"Nightmares, you mean the one-"

"With the guy with the bad complexion, yeah." Adele laughed. "It's really a whatever with the guy, just what he did every nightmare... and it seems that he has his own mind, like he's not a figment of mine, you know?" Raven took what her friend was saying in, and nodded slowly.

"I kinda understand," she said. "I guess that's what happens with stress... maybe its just because we're about to become counselors to one of the most notorious camps in America?" Raven smirked. "Come on, it's gonna be great, and maybe you'll be able to meet a guy." Adele rose her eyebrow and laughed.

"Maybe, hopefully not... Men are disgusting," Raven's grin turned to a soft frown, and she sighed, but decided not to argue the fact. She knew that Adele's experience was very much in her mind, and the man that raped her in her nightmares every night didn't help the situation. Raven pulled out her keys to her apartment and looked over to Adele.

"You're welcome to stay the night, then I can carpool you to the Camp tomorrow, it will be fun!" Raven said smiling. Adele looked at her and smirked a moment before finally nodding. "Great," Raven said, grinning, and Adele rose her eyebrow once more, looking a little nervous.

"And what do you have planned?" She asked, looking around. Blinking when she saw her hold up a bag of Texas Style Hot Wings and curly fries.

"Dinner and Football?" It was Adele's turn to grin and she plopped herself onto the couch, stretching as she turned on the television, flicking it to the game, yawning.

"You know what I would do if I saw that Jason character?" Adele said, looking over to Raven with a grin, her hands behind her head as she propped her feet on the small table. Raven sighed, shaking her head.

"Beat him up? Make him feel sorry he ever fucked with an Ex Marine such as yourself? Make him cry for his dead mother?" She began to raffle off answers that would go with her friend's volatile intentions to the opposite gender. Adele laughed, shaking her head.

"Actually, no I wouldn't... he had so many problems before, that would just traumatize him even more. No see, I would probably...No never mind I would make him squeal." She grinned and they both laughed, before beginning to watch the game, Raven curling up next to her with a bowl of wings and a plate of hot fries.

"Here you go," Raven said, laughter still in her voice as she shook her head. "If anyone was going to fuck up Jason Voorhees, you'll be the counselor. Oh I can see his reaction now..." They both began to talk about what would happen if Adele was fighting Jason, the ideas growing more and more out of control, before they both went to bed, falling asleep. Only Adele stayed up, secretly afraid of what that man would do to her this time... She shivered and closed her eyes, beginning to feel the fire of the boiler room on her back...

When Adele woke up, she was being shook awake by an excited Raven, who held up both of their camp shirts and the skimpy, tight fitting female shorts. Adele scowled.

"you have got to be kidding me..." She moaned. "Fuck those, I'm bringing my own shorts." She pulled out her baggy past-the-knee black and white Nike basket ball shorts, throwing on a pair of Black and dark blue Etnies. Raven watched her spike her lime green hair with her arms crossed.

"Come on you'd look sexy in them!" She pleaded, and Adele gave her the 'are-you-kidding-me-I'm-already-sexy' look. Raven sighed. "Alright fine, but you really have a better body than you offer."

Adele snorted and yawned. "I have a more buff body than the men." She grumbled. It was true, she was extremely toned, but she was taught where it counted, and surprisingly curvy. "The only thing that's good on me is my ass and my boobs."

"Hey, they're D cups! Most girls would kill for those!" Adele snorted.

"They try to rip mine off I'll kill them." Raven snorted and patted her friend's shoulder.

"Now now," she pretended to scold her, grinning. "We all know you can give a charging bull elephant a run for its money, but really, Adele, you should lighten up. Maybe you'll meet the boy of your dreams at Crystal Lake." She said, and Adele snorted.

"Yeah. Right." She said softly, walking out to the car with a duffel bag. "Come on, we're gonna be late." Adele opened the passenger door, and Raven watched her, sighing softly, walking out as well and sitting in the driver seat. As they drove out of Tarrytown Heights, Raven hoped that her friend would find something to get her mind off of the nightmares.
