Here's another chapter! :D

I groaned, flopping down on my bed. "Ok, I am never rock climbing again as long as I live. Which may not be much longer, considering the pain I'm in. Maybe I gave myself internal injuries."
"If you die, can I have your stuff?"
"Shut up, Celia." I rolled onto my front. "So, Amy, how did you like hunter?" His cabin and our cabin had been paired for canoeing.
"He's nice." She replied. "I liked him." During the day, me and Celia and both gotten to know Amy pretty well, and it seemed probable that we'd stay in touch after camp.
"You two would make a cute couple." I could almost hear Celia's grin.
I rolled my eyes. "I thought I told you to shut up, Celia. Amy, pay no attention to the rodent; she's always matchmaking."
"Hey, could you guys be quiet? I'm trying to sleep." This from Raven.
"Of course, your highness." I responded, my voice dripping with sarcasm. Then, in my usual tone; "Could you get the lights, Amy? You're closest."
Darkness fell.
"Goodnight, guys."
"G'Night."
"Goodnight."
…
"Celia, quit humming. Now. I mean it!"
"But Alex, that isn't me!"
"Amy?"
"No, I'm not humming."
"Ok then. Raven! Shut up!"
"…. I was trying to sleep. You would think humming would inhibit that."
"Then what is that noise?"
Suddenly, a green glow light up cabin.
"Argh!"
"Hiss!"
"Crap, what is that light?"
I sat up, rubbing my eyes. In the middle of the room, lying on the floor was a bright green crystal that seemed to be the source of the light.
"That was definitely not there when we came in." I rolled out of bed and knelt next to my bag. "I'm going to get it out of the cabin, in case it's a bomb or something, then we'll go tell the councilors." (1)
"Alex, no!" Celia squeaked. "Don't touch it!"
"I wasn't going to." I said, drawing a pair of tongs out of my bag. I approached the crystal cautiously.
"Alex?"
"Yeah, Amy?"
"Why did you bring tongs to summer camp?"
"… I don't really know."
"Alex!" Celia exclaimed. "I really don't think you should-"
Her advice came too late. I reached out and as soon as the tongs touched the crystal, a blinding flash of light burst out of it, and everything went dark.

(1) If her logic seems off, I blame it on her sleepiness.
Bwahahahaha! Cliff hanger!
