We were all really freaked out about Cameron. But we all tried to
forget about it and just have fun.

"That's not the weirdest thing that's happened." Paloma said, scooting
closer to the group.

"Oh yeah? What happened before?" Nathan asked.

"Well, I was trying to take a picture of Xanat but every time I tried
the picture would be completely black!" Paloma said dramatically.

"And she wasn't just covering the lens like usual." I laughed.

"Shut up." Paloma said.

"That is a little weird." Kennedy said.

"It's getting super cold." I said, rubbing my bare arms.

"Here, have my jacket." Gerard smiled, taking his jacket off and
draping it over my shoulder.

Paloma raised her eyebrows and nudged me when no one was watching.

Two hours went by and there was no sight of Cameron.

"Guys, I'm getting super worried." Paloma said. Everyone was huddled
around the driftwood while Kris was still trying to light it.

"Any luck?" Kennedy asked.

"As you can see we only get a few seconds of light, then poof. Gone."
he said, shaking his head.

"Did anybody bring their sleeping bags or something?" I asked.

Paloma put her palm to her face. "Guys. We've had our stuff over there
the whole time."

"Woooooow." someone said. Everyone got up and walked over to where
their stuff was.

"I can't wait to be all warm in my sleeping bag." Paloma smiled,
searching around for her stuff.

"I put my stuff right there. Where could it be?" Nathan said.

Paloma grabbed the flashlight from Tyler and hit it against her palm a
few times, a few flashes of light appearing. She held it over where
the stuff should be and nothing was there.

"You've gotta be kidding me." Kris said.

"Seriously. Someone's messing with us." Nathan said.

"Probably Cameron." Tyler added.

"He wouldn't have waited this long, letting us and girls freeze to
death." Michael said.

"Michael's right." Nathan said.

"I think we should sleep here by the beach for the night and then find
Cameron in the morning." Paloma said.

"It's way too cold to sleep out here." Chris said.

"What else can we do? It's pitch black outside. We can't be walking
around." Kennedy said.

"Fine. We'll sleep here. But we all need to stick together until
morning." Finally, someone Frank spoke up.

We walked farther away from the shore and decided to sleep on a large
field of grass. Everyone was sleeping next to each other because it
was pretty cold. Not freeze to death cold, but cold enough to make you
shiver.
I chose to sleep in between Gee and Frank. It was really warm and we
kept close because it was cold. But I was still worried about Cameron.
I guess we will just have to see what happens tomorrow.
