"How will you cope?"
"What?"
"No internet for a week! We know what you and Maddy are like"
"Oh I'm sure we'll be fine" I lied. Nope. No we won't. I'm so freakin' screwed! The thought of having to catch up on all the new YouTube videoswhen I returned home was irritating me to the point that I might not enjoy my holiday. Nice one, Mum and Dad. Your daughter has OCD in the weirdest places.

Elsa laughed.
"Emma! You've gone pale!" Ugh. I hated the way I was always associated within the 'internet addicts' group of people. I'm not crazy! I swear!
"I'll be fine" I replied, trying and failing to hide the sharpness in my voice. Elsa got the idea and dropped the subject. I began fishing around my bag for my iPod. It wasn't an iPod touch or anything, it was a pink iPod mini and it was the only Apple product I owned.
I was about to put in my headphones when Elsa grabbed my shoulder, a look of sorrow on her face. She was about to say something when a sticking out branch slapped her in the face. She gave the branch the middle finger and scowled at it then stared at me with a secretly-I-am-normal face
we both erupted with laughter and by the time we'd finished my throat was actually hurting, though that was half the fault of the weather.

It was autumn, around the end of October and the good old English weather had kicked in: It had been raining for about a week non-stop. Halloween was going to be during our holiday.
The four of us: Me, Maddy, Elsa and Phoebe, were going to Center parcs. It had been booked three months ago and we were to stay at the Elveden forest Village, Pine, chalet 358. I'd had it memorized.
I looked at Elsa she had turned to her phone, her long black hair was tucked into her scarf. That annoyed me.
"EMMA!" a voice called from far behind me. I turned. It was Mike, my cousin. He had curly blonde Hair and was kind of pudgy but none the less a great guy. We waited until he caught up. Elsa greeted him and we began walking again.
"Ugh on Skyrim..." I began, then trailed of as Mike made a face.
"Oh yeah you like COD and Halo and stuff don't you, Mike?" He nodded
"OH MY GOD Hey Mike do you remember the life of Logan?" Mike's face went blank for a moment, and then he grinned and began laughing.
"Oh man I haven't seen that in ages! There's probably a load of Halo 4 ones now."
"Haha, yeah!"

'The Life of Logan' was an old web show George had shown me when we were younger about the game: Halo. There was the main character, Logan, and his friends: Captain Fluffball or something like that, and a yellow one whose name I couldn't remember all I knew was that he was a little retarded and had a rocket launcher. And there was James. He was the normal one.
"Uh... I'm going now!" Elsa yelled. After all that laughing I hadn't realised we had reached the woods that Elsa left us at.
"Oh ok, Pack everything you need tonight! I'll see you Monday!"
"m'kay BYE!" Elsa continued to walk down and Mike and I turned left into the woods. We talked the journey away until Mike was saying goodbye at the top of my road. Huh? that walk was quick. When I'm on my own it takes ages, I normally get scared of Slenderman and hobos and stuff. I walked down the road greeting Joe as I passed. Maddies car wasn't in the driveway so I got out my own key and unlocked the door.

It was almost dark by then so I turned on a few lights and opened my laptop. Toby's new 'walking dead' was uploaded. I just started to watch it when Maddy burst into my room. I almost had a heart attack! Her face was red but I didn't think much of it because it was cold outside. But her eyes were brighter then I think I've ever seen them. What in the world?
"Watch the vlog!" Immediately, I irritably closed the window that had 'the walking dead' on it (I had been looking forward to it all day!) and opened my subscriptions. Toby had uploaded a new vlog. It was called: 'CENTER PARCS,' by the sound of Maddies squeal i guessed that's what she meant. I frowned and opened it up:
"Audience? Wha-? What are you doing under the sofa audience? I've been looking for you all day!"
Toby continued on as usual and I saw nothing special until the very end of the vlog. I froze, speechless.

"Holy shit..." was all I could say. Maddy wiggled on the bed and I almost dropped my laptop.
"I know!"

"Toby's going to Center Parcs...and so are we...!"

Toby's p.o.v

I sat on the couch, slowly running my hands across gryphon's back. He was asleep. My eyes travelled to the envelope on the table. The tickets were inside; Seven of them. Gabe had won them in a raffle draw. 70% off tickets for a chalet for a place called 'Center Parcs' in England. As much as I was looking forward to it...I couldn't help but remember the last time I went to England...my eyes the switched to the palm of my hand. There was the scar from Hyde Park. I closed my eyes and tried to forget. The seven that were coming were: Gabe, Me, Seth, Sean, Jack, Kristen (Jack's girlfriend) and Olga.

I sighed and stood up. Gryphon grunted with surprise as he rolled off my lap, and tottered away grumpily. I yawned and stretched my arms, and then I stumbled a bit because I had stood up too quickly and there were spots in my vision. I stood still until it had cleared and then began walking into the kitchen, working out a plan in my head of how to avoid starting a riot again...
