Friday The 13th
{Line Break}
Deaths-Head : Just the usual obligatory disclaimer. Friday the 13th, Jason Voorhies etc, etc belong to . The characters from the Gun Media game, belong to them. All I own are the oc's who are appearing alongside them.
This is also the first 'horror' fanfic I've written. I have in the past done some works which have included graphic depictions of murder and such, but never one where the main theme is horror. I am including the four current maps from the Gun Media game - Camp Crystal Lake, Higgin's Haven, Packanack Lodge and the Jarvis House - as the setting for the story. So if you haven't played the game yet... Go give it a try, it's pretty good with friends (or those randoms who use a mic).
Anyway, on to the first chapter, the usual 'introduction' chapter...
{Line Break}
Chapter One
Monday, 9th of October
ADAM Palomino sighed to himself as he drove his truck down the road leading to his new summer job. In the passenger seat next to him, sat his girlfriend AJ Mason and in the back were Brandon Wilson, Keith Storm and Mary Stevens. He wondered again just why he took the counselor job at this camp, then realized that if he didn't, he would've spent the entire summer without his girlfriend and stuck at home with his drunkard of a father.
Still, some good was coming out of it he supposed. This was a job he knew that a certain preppy rich kid wouldn't stoop to do. A car horn sounded behind him, causing him to look in the rear view mirror and smile. A van was behind them and he recognized the driver as one Jenny Myers, a senior at the same high school as those in his car. He guessed she probably had some of her friends with her in that beast of hers... which she affectionately called 'The Rolling Turd'.
Seeing a service station coming up, he pulled his truck over and up to one of the fuel pumps, Jenny bringing her van up on the opposite side. The side door of the van opened and out tumbled a broad shoulder guy, falling on the ground and groaning as a brunette leaned out laughing.
"Watch that first step Liam..."
Liam Charles pulled himself to his hands and knees as Jenny and the others got out of the van.
"Yeah, yeah... thanks for the warning Sonya. Just a touch too late, ya know?"
The brunette, one Sonya James, grinned at him as a young African American girl grinned at him, her arms across her chest and a smile on her face
"Oh I don't know... I kind of like the sight of a man on his hands and knees.'
"Not funny Vanessa..."
The girl, Vanessa Jones, shared the same grin as Sonya, as they both got out of the van. Adam glanced over at AJ, who just rolled her eyes and walked into the service station with Mary and Keith. Liam meanwhile had gotten to his feet, as the brunette got out of the van grinning at him.
"Aww come on 'King', just having some fun..."
Liam puffed his chest out.
"Yes, I AM the King..."
Jenny called out over her shoulder as she and Vanessa walked inside the station.
"Well, would the 'King' start pumping fuel into his chariot, otherwise he's going to be walking to the camp."
Mumbling to himself, Liam got to his feet and moved to the pump as Sonya patted him on the shoulder.
"You know, just having some fun... didn't mean any harm."
He nodded as he started to pump the gas into the van.
"It's cool Sonya... Could you get me a drink?"
She smiled and nodded, then headed into the station, leaving Adam and Liam by themselves. Adam looked over at Liam.
"So... you and 'Sonya' eh?"
Liam shrugged and ran his hand through his hair.
"Wha, no... I mean, we're just friends and such..." he paused "I dunno man... I like her and she's fun to be around and such... I just... well to be honest, there is someone I have my eye on..."
With a grin, Adam finished and put the nozzle back in it's holster on the pump and tightened the fuel cap.
"Oh really. Come on Dude, spill it. Who's the one you've got your sights on. Who knows what will happen at camp. Could hook up with your lady friend."
Liam blushed and looked at his feet.
"... maybe..."
Adam leaned against the side of his truck, as Liam continued to pump gas into the van.
"So, who's the mystery girl..."
"You think I'm gonna tell you?"
Adam chuckled and nodded.
"Yup."
Rolling his eyes, Liam removed the nozzle, replaced it in the pump and closed the gas tank.
"She's... well..."
Just then, Brandon came up from behind Liam and got him in a headlock, laughing.
"Oh, so Liam's got a crush eh? Do tell bro." he chuckled as Liam managed to wrestle himself free "Wait, I know... Adam, throw out some names bro."
Grinning, Adam chuckled.
"Ok... Not Sonya... how about Jenny?"
Liam looked at him aghast.
"Wha? Jenny? As in the same Jenny Myers who owns this van? The one who volunteered to take me and the others to the camp?" he paused "'Sides, I think she and Kenny have something..."
Brandon and Adam looked at each, grinning.
"Ok, what about Mary?"
Liam paled.
"Mary? She's too... quiet and... weird..."
The other two tried to keep their faces straight as Liam frowned. Adam regained some composure.
"Ok, not Jenny, Mary or Sonya... what about Deborah? Vanessa or... " he paused as he tried to find a way to describe another of their female friends. However Brandon beat him to it.
"Or is it the one who is all about... the Cox?"
The two burst into laughter, slapping the other on the back, while Liam turned and got into the van. Jenny and the other girls were watching, Vanessa sighed to herself.
"Those two are such children..."
AJ shrugged as she walked over to Adam's truck and got in the passenger side.
"Yeah... but they're fuckin good fun to have around for a laugh."
Mary muttered to herself as she climbed in the back, with Keith holding the door for her.
"Maybe... but they're dorks. The pair of them."
Keith paused as he looked at the two, still chuckling to themselves.
"Come on guys... we all know that Deborah and Eric have a thing going."
Brandon shook his head.
"Nope, word has it that while Eric does have a thing for Deborah... " he climbed into the back of the truck "She's after tall, dark and moody."
Adam, who was having a drink of cola, spat it out and looked at Brandon.
"GRANT MASTERSON?! That loner?"
Grinning, Brandon leaned back in the seat and nodded.
"Yeah bro, the angtsy teen loner and the cute Asian nerd girl..."
Mary snorted.
"He's a idiot, worse than you clowns... or Chad." she went back to reading her book "If Deborah does like him, she's a idiot."
Keith glanced over at the others.
"Well, since we're obviously picking who's going to be with who... I hear that Chad and Tiffany aren't doing so good as a couple. Could be good news for Liam."
As Jenny started her van and pulled out of the station, Sonya called out as she was sliding the side door close.
"Vanessa's already got a crush... on CHAD!"
Brandon and Adam burst out laughing as Vanessa whirled around in the passenger seat at Sonya.
"I DO NOT! HE'S A CREEP!"
Before Jenny could pull out on the road, a bright red convertible sped past them. Jenny chuckled as she recognized the car and the two occupants.
"Well, looks like Chad and Tiffany are still 'together'. Sadly, Vanessa and Liam are both out of luck."
Liam and Vanessa both cried out in negative, as Jenny and SJ laughed as the van made it's way along the road to the camp, with Adam's truck coming out behind them. Ahead of them, in the convertible, Tiffany Cox was leaning on her arm and thinking of what was going to happen over the Summer. She had only agreed to become a camp counselor to help get extra credit for school. Glancing to her side, she looked at her 'boyfriend', Chad Kensington.
Only reason she ever went 'with' Chad was, she had finally admitted to herself, was because of his wealth. Over time though, she slowly came to the realization that Chad didn't want her as a girlfriend or even to have her own say... he wanted her solely as a trophy. At first she didn't mind, but now a year later, she admitted she made a huge mistake. With a lot of thought over the last month, she had come to the decision to break up with him. However, he didn't take that news well and had threatened to expose her in rather unflattering terms. Tiffany knew she had a reputation as a flirt. She didn't mean anything by being as flirty as she is, just part of her nature. However, others drew their own conclusions about her and her nature.
Chad looked at her, then turned his gaze back on the road.
"Remember our agreement Tiffany. For the Summer we are still together. Afterwards, I'll be the one to publicly break up with you. After all, I have a better reputation... than a gold digging whore like you."
Tiffany remained silent. She ignored all the insults he had thrown at her for the past month since she said she was going to break up with him. However, he said he had some 'evidence' to share if she did... so grudgingly, she accepted his terms.
"Fine, whatever Chad..."
A frown appeared on Chad's face as he glanced at her, before turning his attention back on the road.
"If I see or hear that you've starting sniffing around others... I'll make sure you'll live to regret it, understand?"
Tiffany turned and glared at him through narrowed eyes.
"Don't threaten me Chadwick. I'll stand by my side of the agreement. Make sure you do the same."
His response was just a grunt as he turned his car down a dirt road, driving pass the sign for the camp ahead.
Camp Crystal Lake.
The new owner of the camp, had purchased not just the camp, but also the surrounding areas of Higgin's Haven and Packanack Lodge and renaming the entire area, Camp Crystal Lake. There was a residence and vacation house nearby, with some of the camp structures nearby as well.
A minute or two later, Jenny's van and Adam's truck both made the same turn and headed down the road. Looking out the window, Keith looked at all the trees and shrubs and shuddered. Mary glanced at him.
"You ok?"
"Just... I don't like the outdoors. Don't like the whole..." he motioned outside the window.
Brandon looked over at him.
"Wha? You don't like the outdoors? What's wrong with you man?"
Keith shrugged and leaned back in the seat.
"Bad memories."
Mary and Brandon shared a look, as Adam looked at Keith in the rear view mirror.
"You ok?"
Keith nodded.
"I'll be fine... I'll be fine..."
As the three vehicles pulled up to the camp, they could see three other cars parked there. One was a 80's station wagon, complete with wooden paneling on the sides, whilst the other two were a navy blue Dodge Charger and a jet black Pontiac trans am. Five people were seen near the vehicles, a bespectacled girl wearing a white sweater and blue jeans and a portly boy wearing a pale green polo shirt tucked into his pants and rubbing his glasses.
In front of the the two, a man in a red and black plaid shirt and wearing shorts was holding back a guy with dirty blonde hair, wearing a denim jacket and torn blue jeans. The other male was clad head to toe in black clothing with a disinterested look on his face. Liam leaned forward and spoke up, Jenny pulled her van to a stop.
"Looks like Daniel and Grant are at it again..."
Vanessa sighed and shook her head.
"Daniel is a big of a idiot as Chad... moreso when he's drunk..."
SJ commented as she opened the side door and stepped out.
"Vanessa... Daniel is ALWAYS drunk..."
Adam pulled his truck to a stop closer to the three and jumped out, running over to them, with Brandon and Keith following. Daniel broke free from the plaid wearing guy and was about to throw a punch, when the three tackled him to the ground. He cried out at them as he struggled.
"GET OFFA ME! I'M GONNA POUND THAT JERKS FACE IN!"
Tiffany had joined the other girls, with Chad watching on in disinterest.
"I have a feeling this isn't going to end well..."
Grant looked down at Daniel and snorted as he turned and walked towards the large green building.
"Like I care what you have to say Daniel... come back and talk when you're capable of actual speech and not drunken slurring."
With a roar, he struggled to his feet, only to have Adam glare at him.
"You're drunk already!?"
Before Daniel could respond, another guy wearing blue jeans and a blue shirt came up and glared at him.
"Daniel, I don't care that your father bought this camp or the other properties around... I don't even care that he's funding the reopening. If you pull any other crap like this again, I'll have everyone turn around and leave you here to explain to your father why this fell through and why you're a worthless degenerate!"
Daniel looked at him and blew a raspberry, causing Adam and Brandon to get between the two. The other male in the red plaid short and cargo shorts pulled the other away.
"Easy Rob... he's not worth it."
Rob Dier snarled to himself and walked back inside the large green building that was called Packanack Lodge. With a sigh, the red plaid man looked back at the others and tried to smile.
"Well... uhh... Welcome to the new Camp Crystal Lake guys... heh."
Jenny rolled her eyes as she folded her arms across her chest.
"Very droll Kenny..."
Kenny Riedall chuckled, as Adam and Brandon stepped back from Daniel, who in turn gave them both the finger and sauntered off to a nearby cabin. The nerdy looking girl stepped forward, with the other male who had been standing with her.
"Uhh... what about... Grant?"
The head counselor sighed and ran a hand through his black hair.
"Just... leave Masterson be for now Deborah. In my experience... just.. leave him alone."
The look on Deborah Kim's face fell and she looked at her shoes.
"Oh... okay... I'll just... go and find something to do then..."
She turned and walked towards the lodge, as the other male looked at Kenny with a look of anger mixed with amusement on his face.
"While I don't like your tone of voice when speaking to Deborah," he paused and pushed the glasses back on his face "I do think that was a good course of action. Yes, much better to warn her to stay away from... him."
Adam and Brandon rolled their eyes as Kenny faced the speaker.
"Listen Eric... I've been put in charge of this camp by Daniel's father, Mr Adamson." he looked over at the others standing nearby "We have exactly seven days to get everything ready for the reopening next week and we've got a lot of work to do. All of the bungalows need to be checked for any leaks, damage and such.
Eric Lachappa frowned, as the other gathered round. Kenny looked at them all.
"As this is the first day... and after what just happened, I need everyone to get their gear in their rooms and then meet back here in ten minutes for work assignments..." he looked at a certain blonde haired individual "Yes, that means you Chad."
With a snort of derision Chad grab his bags from his car, throwing Tiffany's on the ground, which did not go unnoticed by anyone. Eyes narrowed, she walked over and picked her bags up, then called out to Deborah, who was looking through one of the windows of the lodge.
"Hey Deborah, mind if I bunk with you?"
Deborah paused, then nodded at Tiffany. Walking up the stairs in front of the lodge, she started to think if the agreement she had agreed to with her ex-boyfriend was worth keeping or not.
Adam looked at Brandon, who just grinned and nodded as they both grabbed their bags. AJ sighed to herself as Sonya walked up to her.
"Want to share?"
With a snort, she grabbed her gear and looked at Sonya.
"Sure... better than with..." she motioned at Mary, Jenny and Vanessa.
A slight smile on her face, Sonya had her bags and started walking towards a nearby bungalow. AJ followed her as Vanessa and Jenny decided that they'd share the three bed bungalow with Mary, who just muttered something about 'stupid idiots' and followed behind the two. Liam looked at Kenny, a slight worried look on his face.
"Kenny... I am not bunking with Chad..."
The head counselor smiled behind his beard and chuckled.
"I wouldn't do that to you Liam. Besides, Grant and Daniel both have a spare bunk in their rooms... Why not ask..."
Before Kenny could respond, Liam turned and bellowed out.
"GRANT!"
The response was prompt from the second story of the lodge.
"WHAT?"
"GOT A SPARE BUNK?"
Silence... as Liam and Kenny shared a look and then...
"FINE, IT'S YOURS. BETTER YOU THAN KEITH."
Keith looked up at the window, a curious look on his face.
"What?"
Grant leaned out the window and locked his eyes on him.
"You snore. Liam, get up here."
With a grin, Liam grabbed his gear and ran up the stairs, leaving Keith and Kenny outside. Kenny gave him a apologetic look.
"Sorry Keith, looks like your bunking with Daniel."
A look of shock appeared on the teenager's face.
"Him?! He smells like a damn brewery!"
Kenny sighed as he walked up the stairs.
"Either that, or you can bunk by yourself, like Eric and Rob are."
With a groan, Keith grabbed his gear and headed to the nearby single room bungalow.
"I'll take my chances by myself. See you in a bit."
Kenny leaned on the railing running along the front of the lodge and sighed.
"Well... this promises to be a fun summer..." he sighed and ran a hand through his hair "Just hope nothing bad happens..."
