A/N: Between helping taking care of my grandmother, school, and coming up with new ideas I hardly had time to work on my stories. However, my grandmother recently passed away last month.
All right, move it out! A little to the left, little to the left," Ned's voice could be heard as he and the rest of the gang proceeded in fixing the pier. Seeing as it was a beautiful and sunny day the girls, except Alice who wore a bikini top and jean shorts, decided to wear their bikinis while Jack, Tony, and Bill were in their swimming trunks. Ned, however, just wore his jean shorts as he climbed onto the raft, with Bill and Jack pushing it onto the water while Tony helped Brenda and Marcie pull it from either side with the rope.
"Move it out, move it out. Okay, little to the left," he ordered again, gesturing with his arms in the direction of the missing part of the pier. Jack ran after to help Marcie rake it in with the rope while Alice, Bill, and Heather watched from the shore, laughing at the commotion.
"Let's go. Okay, okay. Good, good."
Once the job was complete Ned performed a forward roll in celebration, knowing now that they could relax and enjoy some fun in the sun before they returned to their chores.
As the Sun gleamed through the leaves of the trees someone was making their way through them, their footsteps crunching on crusty leaves and fallen branches. The person in question is the same individual who murdered Annie no more than an hour ago.
Back at the newly fixed pier Jack, Marcie, Tony, Ned, Heather, and Brenda were either basking in the heat or paddling in the water when Ned asked an unusual question. "If you were a flavor of ice cream, what would it be? Heather?" His head turned to look at the blonde who was floating on her back in the cool water right beside the pier with her boyfriend.
"Why would you want to know something like that?" She looked up at him, her blonde hair slicked back by the water as she used the edge of the pier for stability.
"I'm just curious, and I like playing twenty questions. Again, if you were a flavor of ice cream what would it be?"
He could see that Heather is now in her thinking pose her mind wandering into the distance, this habit was nothing new to Ned. Any time she'd dealt with a hard question she spaced out like her mind was in another world.
Returning to reality Heather glanced back at Ned, "I'd have to say chocolate chip because I like chocolate candy and I like chips." she announced as though it was something to be proud of, smiling at her answer.
Tony decided to join only in only it was about an ice cream flavor. "For me a peanut butter and jelly Heather's ass sandwich. Tony smirked at his girlfriend well Ned got a laugh out of it. The smirk on Tony's face vanishes right after his nipples are pinched. "Ow, babe what the fuck?"
Marcie, who was busy sunbathing before their playing interrupted her, lead up on her elbows with her feet still dangling in the cool water, laughing at their quick bonding and replied, "For me I'd want to be Rocky Road!" mimicking Mae West, pushing Ned into the water, who gave out a quick yelp, before splashing Tony in the process. Marcie looked back at Jack, who was lying on his front, and saw that he was laughing with her, his handsome grin plastered on his face.
On the opposite side of the lake, located right in front of the laughing carefree counselors, the individual's hand dressed with a silver ring on their forefinger pulled back a verdant branch that was in the way just enough so that they could see but not enough so that they could be seen and observed them patiently.
Back on the pier, Marcie had maneuvered herself further along it while Jack, Heather, Ned, and Tony were swimming and splashing at each other, with Brenda paddling next to her. Marcie was resting against her palms as she lapped up the sun's heat, her eyes closed and loving the feel of both it and the cool breeze on her skin. Without opening her eyes Marcie proceeded in asking Brenda a question, "So what's that vitamin C stuff do for you, anyway Brenda?"
Still paddling in the water Brenda noticed something in the distance, among the trees and continued to observe, to see if she was just imagining it, "Vitamin C's supposed to neutralize the nitrates or something," she replied before swimming back to the pier, holding onto it with a hand.
"What's the matter? Do you see something?" Marcie asked, her voice sounding a little anxious, her feet still kicking under the water. She looked in the direction of where Brenda was looking but couldn't see anything among the trees and the green covering them.
"No, no nothing," Brenda reassured herself, though she swore to herself that she saw something, someone watching them from across the lake. The two girls sat and paddled in silence, as though waiting for something to happen when Brenda released a gasp that sounded like she'd just been dunked with cold water after coming out of a hot shower. Ned surfaced from underneath her which caused Brenda to roll to the side, not knowing who did it until she looked in Ned's direction, who noticed the look of total shock on her face.
"Ned!" Her heart was literally in her mouth as she screamed at him, "Get outta here!" Her screaming quickly turned to laughter as she splashed him several times before he too returned the favor, the three of them in hysterics.
While the others were enjoying the water Bill and Alice both sunbathing on the shore. Lying on one side of the blanket Alice had her eyes closed, the Sun warming her skin perfectly and smelling the scent of the lake as it drifted with the cool breeze. With her head nestled nicely next to Bill, in her mind she imagines herself and Steve Christy watching the sunset together. Of course what Alice didn't know was that Bill has a major crush which he's chosen to keep secret for the time being. Waiting patiently for the right to confess his feeling. He soon came back to reality when someone overshadowed them and they turned to see who it was. It was Brenda. "Hey, you guys. Ready to go back to work?"
Bill sighs regretfully, he really enjoying having Alice by his side, but there was still work to be done around the campgrounds, he'll have other opportunities to be with Alice and hopefully alone.
"Come on, Alice, let's go!" he emphasized, with a small hint he has something planned
As they picked up the clothes they discarded and headed back to the camp, none of them knew that the same presence that Brenda thought she saw was still watching them from over the lake, peering from behind the branches and plotting their palpable demise. What's more not one of would be able to escape nor save themselves from what's about to happen.
"No fucking way. You actually saw Alice and Steve kissing?" Heather exclaimed completely shocked by the information her boyfriend had given her. Both she and Tony were on their way back to camp but he dragged her into the woods. She demanded to know an answer. "Are you absolutely sure weren't imagining it?"
"I shit you not, Alice and Steve are in a fucking relationship." Tony told his girlfriend what he'd witnessed but doesn't believe him. "Why don't you believe me?"
Heather stares sternly at her boyfriend well crossing her arms. "Could be that you have a habit of starting rumors that are completely untrue. Need I remind you in seventh grade you told the school nurse, Jesse Freeburg, she had lice and got her head shaved." feeling bad Jesse had to go six months wearing a wig. "The year after that you let in spread Principal Winston and Josh Nathan's mother was having an affair, that turned into a complete disaster especially when Winston's wife and Josh's father showed up on campus and the four of them got into a brawl which took some of the teachers to break it up."
Tony exhausted. "Alright alright, those might not have been some of my best decisions but this time is different."
"It doesn't matter, rather Alice and Steve are together or not is none of our business." Her glaze hardens leaving no room for discussion. "Just promise me you'll keep your mouth shut, the last thing I need is a shit load of drama."
"Fine I won't say a word, I swear!"
Heather pokes Tony's chest as she speaks. "You better not, if you mention this to anyone I'll personally have you neutered with my dad's hedge clippers."
Tony slowly backs away from Heather while holding up his hands defensively, the very thought of having his manhood cut off frightened him. "Babe chill alright, you don't have to go all Norman Bates on me." Tony won't admit it but her threatening to remove his genitals was turning him on.
Heather laughs "Glad we understand each other."
In the girls cabin, which was closest to the lake, Alice wrapped her pink bathrobe around herself and tied it around her waist, ruffling her hair into the style that she wanted. Then she approached her drawers and opened them one at a time, searching for the right set of clothes to impress Bill even more but she knew in herself that she didn't have to. Too lost in her world of Bill Alice doesn't realize that a foot or two away from her was a snake and it was silently hissing at her. Not until it moved slightly does she notice and she sprung back, letting out a "Ugh!" sound. Backing off in the direction of the door, looking back and forth, making sure that it wasn't following her Alice pushed open the door and screamed, "Bill!"
Bill was busy cutting down tall weeds and stinging nettles with his machete when Alice's repeated screaming caught his undivided attention, "Bill, come here, quick! Hurry!"
As soon as he heard that she was in danger, of what he doesn't know, Bill hurried in the direction of the girls cabin, ready to take down anyone or anything that might be threatening Alice's life. As the snake scurried under the dresser Bill arrived to see Alice in the middle of the room, looking around frantically.
"What? What is it Alice? Are you hurt?"
Loving the concern on his face and in his voice, Alice shook her head and pointed in the direction of the dresser, "I'm fine but there's a snake over there."
Looking back and forth with the machete in hand Bill couldn't seem to find the snake anywhere, "Where Alice? I don't see anything?"
Stepping a little forward Bill, with the machete now higher in the air ready to strike it, looked past the bed and stepped back again, "What do I do?" He asked Alice, who was cowering behind him because she absolutely hated snakes with a vengeance.
"Kill it." she replied simply, as though it was the easiest thing to do in such a situation.
"It might bite," was the only thing Bill could think of to say.
"Haven't you ever been in the woods?"
"We're not in the woods."
Soon Jack, who was wielding a shovel, followed by Heather, Marcie, Ned, Tony, and Brenda running in after them, stopping to see what they were looking for.
"Bill, what are you doing?" Jack asked, his face looking flabbergasted at the way Bill was holding the machete in his hand.
"There's a snake in here," Bill shouted a little louder than he should have, pointing underneath one of the beds that were situated under the window.
"Then why are we in here?" Marcie asked the obvious question regarding their safety. Hiding behind Jack the others Tony, Ned, Brenda, and Heather stayed right where they were near the door.
"Whoa feet don't fail me now!" Ned prepared him to run incase the snake attack him first.
"There it is!" Alice suddenly screamed, Bill dropping to his knees, followed by everyone else as he lifted up the blanket to see underneath the bed.
"Oh, God!" Brenda shouted.
"I can't sleep with a snake under my bed," Alice ensured, finding it to be nowhere in sight. Bill had no luck seeing it either.
"Nobody said anything about snakes." Marcie called from the back, backing away from the huddle and joining the rest near the door.
"Kill it," Alice now frustrated because she wanted to get dressed but couldn't, the snake being the major problem.
"I can't get it until it comes out."
"Well, why don't you call it?" Alice asked, realizing swiftly afterward that it was indeed a dumb question to ask.
"How do you call a snake?" Bill inquired, her question leaving him dumbfounded.
"I'll flush him out!" Jack suggested, knocking over the bedside table as he used it for leverage and jumped on the bed, his tremendous physique causing the mattress to fall through the bed frame, the snake wiggling out and underneath the dresser again.
In a fury of screaming, pillows and feathers Brenda, Marcie and Heather was attacking the bed with their pillows while Alice was kneeling on one of the beds further away, scared that the snake might get her. Bill, on the other hand, found it and slammed the machete down swiftly, chopping it in two, the snake wiggling until it eventually died.
Everyone stopped when they heard the chopping and just stared at the dead snake, Heather gasping "Oh God" as it wiggled its last.
"Is it dead?" Alice asked but with a smile, knowing herself that it was, seeing as it was cut in two.
"Either that or it's got a very short clone," Ned chose this time to joke and they all spluttered into short laughter.
Placing a hand in her back jean pocket and gesturing Marcie looked down at the snake and replied, "Well, at least we know what's for dinner."
"Oh, Marcie! That's gross!" They all practically said in unison, with Brenda and Heather hitting her with their pillows, covering Marcie with the feathers that fall out.
Bill glared down at the dead snake, feeling a little sad for it but that changed when he saw Alice's smile on her face which, like he told her before, brightened up the whole room. Now that her snake problem had been taken care of she can get dressed.
Hope you enjoy this chapter stay tuned for more.
