Cult Camp Take Two

by IchigoKoinu

Finn and Cattail decide to attend a different summer camp than their usual, and it doesn't exactly go as they would've hoped. Sure, they were prepared for monsters, but not... not this kind of monster. This is an oc insert, and my first piece of writing after a long hiatus from fanfics specifically. It's a finished story, and chapters will be posted daily. Rated T for language.

10. Chapter 9

Chapter Nine: Dead on Arrival
Cattail didn't really take the idea of ascension very well, Daniel and I have been here for about two days. David, Gwen, and the other campers have been locked in the counselor's cabin. Cattail climbed into a tree and hasn't come down. I'm starting to worry, as far as I know she hasn't eaten. I head out of the Mess Hall, looking for the tree she holed up in. "Cattail! Shout to me, I forgot which is your tree!"
"Over here."

I walked to the base of a remarkably tall tree, "Hey sis, you okay?"
"I'm not coming down until he's gone."
"You might be up there for a while then, you want me to bring you up some food? There's some cheese left over from the ascension party we had."
"Sure-"
"I'll bring you some water, hydration is important sis."
"... as long as it's not fucking grape Kool-Aid."
"Fine, fine." I went back in the Mess Hall, grabbing some little cheese cubes and grabbing a white plastic water bottle. I walked over to the sink, but then I stopped. It wasn't ascension time yet, but... I could save Cattail now. I don't think Daniel would mind. I slowly stepped towards the fridge, it felt like time stopped. I grabbed the pitcher with the purification elixir in and filled the bottle with it. I stepped outside and went back to the tree. "Sis I'm coming up." I looked at the tree and vines started growing at the base of it, twisting up and forming a kind of ladder similar to planks used for a treehouse. I climbed up, sitting next to Cattail and handing her the food and water bottle. She wasted no time in inhaling the food, having the water bottle wedged between her thighs.
"You don't realize how good food tastes until you go a few days without eating something entirely edible."
"Sis why didn't you yell to me sooner? You need food."
"Ehhhh I'm fine." She nibbled on her cheese cubes and I grew some grapes from the side of the tree, waiting in anticipation for her to drink her "water".
"Have you even had anything to eat these past few days?"
"Nah, just some leaves and sap that Mr. Tree said I could have."
I nodded, "Pre-Maple Syrup."
"Yea, just like home," She chugged the contents of the water bottle, probably too fast to even taste that something was odd. I grinned, she'd be safe now. Suddenly, to my dismay, she leaned over the other side of the branch she was perched on and vomited. "Must've been some bad water."
