Chapter 3 A plan

The next morning the four girls woke up late. They all washed up and got ready for another busy day at camp. On the way the cafeteria for breakfast, Tia gazed at the long line of hungry campers ahead.

"Look at that line! I hope there is some food left" Said Tia.

"Yea, Dannie claimed sarcastically. We would hate for you to go hungry."

The girls shared a laugh and quickly took their place in the long line. As the girls were talking, gabby happened to look over her shoulder and notice Lisa looking at the floor.

"What's wrong Lisa?" Gabby asked.

"Everybody, you all act like nothing ever happened last night." Lisa whispered.

The girls looked at each other; they all knew this was true. Tia broke the silence.

"Yea guys, she is right. What if somebody found out where we were and what we did last night" Said Tia.

The girls got their breakfast and quickly sat down at the far corner of the cafeteria, where no one was sitting.

"Ok lets all just calm down, assured Gabby. I am as freaked out as anyone else at this table, but"-

"Calm down," Lisa interrupted frantically. He told us to meet him tonight!"

"I don't think we should, agreed Dannie. It seems too dangerous."

"I don't even think he's trust worthy," agreed Tia.

"But he is old, and what could an old man do" Gabby argued.

"GABBY! Lisa barked, don't you remember, he has four other men that work for him. And they are not very old."

"Gabby, why are you sticking up for him?" Dannie asked in confusion.

"Because I don't want to jump to conclusions." Gabby admitted.

"Ok, Lisa interrupted. We are not going to get anywhere by yelling at Gabby."

"How about we go there tonight and ask them all of the questions we want answered. Gabby suggested.

The girls thought long and hard. Suddenly, Tia got up from the table.

"Ok ill go, but only to ask questions."

All of the girls agreed to go too.

As the busy day slowly went on, the girls were gathering butterflies in their stomach.

"I am starting to get nervous." Tia admitted.

"I don't even know what to ask them" stated Dannie.

"Don't break down now girls, said Lisa. We all promised them we would come."

After hours and hours of hiking, camping, and other typical camping activities, Tia happened to look at the sun.

"Oh no, the sun is setting" Tia noticed.

The girls shared the same nervous glance. Soon it was time for all of the campers to go to bed. As the group of campers walked back to the cabins, Dannie started to ask.

"What do we do now?"

Lisa looked at the moon, then at the woods.

"We will wait until the campers fall asleep, and then we will quietly hurry to the woods." Lisa decided.

Gabby looked at Lisa in surprise.

"But the woods are 15 minutes away, and we have to pass 5 other cabins to get to the hiking path." Gabby exclaimed.

"Gabby, we have no other choice." Lisa retorted.

All of the girls knew that there was no other way to the forest.

Once all of the campers were asleep, they quickly looked outside to make sure nobody was coming their way. Then they made their way running blindly past the cabins and into the woods. Suddenly, Dannie stopped.

"WAIT," Dannie yelled.

The rest of the girls heard Dannie and immediately stopped.

"What's wrong?" asked Tia

"Does anyone know the way?" Dannie Asked.

"I do, now let's go before someone catches us." Said Gabby.

After twenty minutes, the girls came to the pond.

"So what do we do now," Tia asked.

"I guess we just wait" answered Dannie.

After thirty long minutes, Tia spoke.

"I don't think they're coming, maybe we should just go back to the cabin."

As the girls started toward the cabin, Gabby heard a strange noise behind the trees.

"Hey guys, did you hear that?" whispered Gabby while grabbing Tia's wrist.

The girls heard the noise again.

"What if it's Chi Fu? Asked Gabby.

"and what if it's a bear or the other girls from the camp?' retorted Tia.

With that thought, the girls quickly hid behind the trees. Tia looked to see what made the noise. In the distance she saw a bird flying from a small bush. She let out a deep sigh.

"It's only a bird" sighed Tia.

The girls came out of their hiding spot relieved and scared by the bird. The next moment the girls felt something tap them on their shoulder. They all frantically turned around and saw the four men. The girls screamed at the top of their lungs until the men took their hoods off.

The girls were relieved when they saw them.
