The unknown
She woke up to Sarcasm by Get Scared; damn her phone was going off! But she was glad she was awake. She looked at it and realized it was Maren… damn it, she had overslept!
"Hey Maren, good morning" she answered with a drowsy voice
"Hey lenni, we're outside, hurry up or we're leaving you"
"I'll be right there, just give me a minute"
"Okay, just hurry up cuz you're the last one"
"Fine, give me a sec"
She jumped out of bed and got dressed in record time. Yes. She had been waiting for this all week! Three whole days away from home and camping with friends! She grabbed her backpack and her phone, and then headed downstairs.
She walked into the kitchen where her mom was getting ready for work.
"Morning mom" she said with a bright smile on her face.
"Morning" was her mom's reply, and then she smiled softly when seeing her daughter's poorly contained excitement
"I'm leaving, I'll see you in a few days, ok?" she then quickly grabbed the little red cooler that was sitting in the corner and headed to her mom.
Her mom stood up and opened her arms to hug her daughter and kiss her on the cheek "be careful and call me if you need anything "she then let her go.
Yalenni then smiled and kissed her mom's cheek, she turned around and walked towards the door "love you mom"
She closed the door behind her and then ran out of the apartment towards a grey suburban across the street. Maren was waiting there with Milly, Rachel, Brian, Nancy, Ben and Tom. This was going to be so fun!
As she got there Maren got out and opened the back of the suburban for her "did you bring what you were supposed to" Marlen was so bad at hiding her excitement.
"Of course I did, say do I get to sit with you" Yalenni grinned at her friend and winked. Yalenni was 5' of Hispanic descent, she had rich wavy chocolate medium length hair, her skin was lightly tanned and her deep brown eyes had golden lights in them, just like her hair.
"Yup, I called shotgun for you, Brian wasn't happy about that by the way" Maren tone was nothing but mocking.
Both of them laughed and then got into the suburban
She turned around and waved at everyone "Morning everyone, sorry to make you wait" she intertwined her fingers with her hair "I kind of overslept" she said with an innocent smile while still playing with her somewhat messy yet not unattractive hair.
"Don't worry about it lenni" Nancy was the first one to answer; she was by far the sweetest girl in the group. She was blond, her hair was wavy and of medium length, she was thin, around 5', her eyes were a beautiful caramel tone, and her ivory skin just made her that much more girlish. In short she was everything Yalenni didn't want to be, but that didn't stop her from loving the blond petit.
"Yeah, 'sides I'm sure you couldn't sleep last night cuz you were excited" Tom said whit an understanding smile "I almost didn't sleep as well" he was Nancy's boyfriend, they had been dating for two years now. Tom was 6'4, he was quite slim, dirty blond hair, hazel eyes, and had that air around him that made it so you could relax around him and talk about anything without feeling awkward.
Wait Yalenni never felt awkward….
"Yeah man, don't sweat it" Rachel and Milly said in unison and they both laughed at that. They'd been friends since elementary school and had a lot of history. Milly was around 5'4, native american, with medium length chocolate brown hair, hazel eyes, and somewhat tan skin. Rachel was, in one word, white, around 5'6, deep blue eyes, and red long wavy hair. Really way were all of them so pretty?
"Ha, you sound like twins" Ben said smiling; the he leaned over to plant a chaste kiss on Milly's lips. They had been together for over a year now. He was 5'10, midnight black hair and eyes that contrasted with his pale skin.
"Ah, dude I'm right here between you, can't you at least ask me to switch places with me" Brian started to complain; and really he had all the right to do so. Brian had just started dating Maren a few weeks ago, and although Yalenni was a bit jealous of him she was happy that Maren had found him and that she was happy. Brian was 5'8 well built with tan skin, dirty blond hair, and brown eyes.
"Dude stop traumatizing my boyfriend" Maren joked "if he doesn't kiss me latter tonight you're going to pay for it cuz I won't stop bitching" Maren was a very pretty girl in Yalenni's eyes; she was 5'6, shoulder length strawberry blond hair, grayish blue eyes, and soft ivory skin.
"Man you guys are full of energy today" Yalenni said mockingly "can we go now or we won't find a camping place" she said with a pleading voice and puppy eyes.
"Yeah let's go!"
They drove mostly in silence with occasional small chats going on and listening to music.

It was late in the afternoon already, the weather was holding even though it was still cloudy, it was abnormally stormy and cold for Sonoma. Nevertheless they made a bonfire and sat around it
"Say, was it supposed to be this cold?" Yalenni asked
"I don't think so" Maren answered "I checked the weather before coming here, it said that from December 20th, meaning today, until the 24th was gonna be clear and sunny"
"Never trust the weatherman" Milly sang "they're never accurate"
"No shit, man, I hope it's sunny tomorrow" Ben said slightly irritated.
"Yeah" Rachel said while going through her backpack and getting a little orange bag out "say, does anyone feel like smoking a ball"
"Oh, yes, yes, please" Maren said with an innocent smile on her face "Rachel you're the best!"
"I know Maren, I know" Rachel said pleased with herself "Tom get the pipe out"
"Isn't tomorrow the 21st" Yalenni asked.
"Yup" Milly answered "why do you ask lenni?" she asked approaching her in a cat-like manner
"No reason really" Yalenni said while turning away "I think it's time for me to bounce, I'm gonna go to bed now"
"I'm going with you" Maren pulled her into the tent "did you have that nightmare again" Yalenni nodded and let the mask slip off, she looked terrified "lenni, calm down, we are here to find out why you keep dreaming of the wolf house, I'm here, we'll go and see the wolf house tomorrow in the afternoon and everything will be alright"
Yalenni tried to smile and look less distressed but she failed, she looked at Maren and then lowered her gaze "Maren… the dream was a little different last night" she looked up at Maren and when she gave her a slight nod she continued "Maren there was something inside if the house calling my name… my real name… the wolfs where gone this time so I was able to get close to the hose" she took a deep shaky breath and continued when Maren put her hand on Yalenni's shoulder "she said I was different and that my soul was been called back, she said that I needed to help her get out on the 21st, tomorrow" Yalenni shivered slightly as she remembered her dream "she said that if I didn't the whole world would perish… Maren , she said she knew my past… I'm … I'm scared"
Maren took a suctioning breath and moved forward to hug her friend tightly "it was only a dream lenni, it was only a dream, don't worry everything will be alright, well go there tomorrow, for now let's try to get some sleep.
