An Unexpected Visitor

After I arrived at the cabin, I remembered that I had come through the window. After I crawled back through, I went into the bed room. Ann and Leah were gone. I wonder where they could be since no one was supposed to leave? Maybe Lisa had another camp meeting. If that was the case, then I'm glad I missed it. I went over and sat on my bed. I tried to occupy my mind by reading Ann's magazine. I didn't even get to page two without starring off into space, wondering what Jesse and Lynn were doing. I know I shouldn't worry about Jesse, but I didn't trust Lynn. What if she tried to make a move on him and he would just play along, but actually start to like it! I would seriously die! I wish I could go back to spy on them but I know that we need to put Lynn to a stop. Suddenly I heard a knock on the door. I wonder who that could be? I went over and opened the door. I was so surprised to see Father Dominic standing there.

"Father D, what are you doing here?" He just walked in like nothing had happened. He looked around at the cabin and made a very ugly face before he answered me.

"Well, Susannah, Dave called me. He said that things have gotten dangerous around here and I decided that I would come and help. Where's Lynn right now?" How could he do this? I don't need anyone's help! Does the whole world not see that?

"Father D, that's very nice of you, but I have everything under control. Lynn is with Jesse right now. It's this plan that Dave came up with. Lynn has this major crush on Jesse, so if we get her all dotty about him, then maybe she'll forget about hurting everybody. I know it sounds stupid but it's all we have and we're desperate. I only have three more days here and I have to help Lisa." He just looked at me like I was crazy. I should have known this would be his reaction. He put his hand on my shoulder and looked into my eyes. This was weird.

"Susannah, I know you're desperate but that plan is only going to make things worse. Can't you see? When Lynn finds out that Jesse doesn't really like her, then she'll be even more hurt than she is now."

"How did you know that she was..."

"Dave told me all about her childhood on the phone when he called me. I think that you should just talk to her. I know that you, Jesse, and Dave think that she won't listen, but I think that it's worth a try. I'll have myself, Dave, and Jesse watching just in case she does try to hurt you. What do you think?" Even though I really don't want to get help from Father D, this plan does make more sense than the previous one.

"Sure, I guess we can try it." He looked surprised after I said that. I guessed he thought I would refuse it.

"Well, that's great, Susannah. Let's go get Jesse." I stopped him before he could go out the door. There was still something that I needed to know.

"Father D, how did you get here without Lisa seeing you. She punished all of us campers and we can't leave our cabins. My room mates are gone, though, so I don't know what's going on."

"Well, I saw a middle aged woman and a bunch of kids down at the lake. It looked like they were having a meeting. I just found which cabin was yours and decided not to tell anyone." I thought it was probably a meeting. I guess it's safe to use the front door, then. When we got to Jesse, we found that he was alone.

"Where did Lynn go?" He looked at me with a worried expression.

"Well, she went to find Lisa. She heard she was having a meeting and decided to spook everyone. I tried to reason with her, but she wouldn't listen. I guess this plan isn't going to work after all." He just then realized that Father D was beside me.

"Hello Jesse. I decided to pay a visit and help out with this situation."

"He has an idea. I'm going to try and talk with Lynn and make her see that someone might actually care about her. You, Father D, and Dave will be watching in case she tries anything. I know it sounds dangerous but it's all we have Jesse, since this plan didn't work." I could tell he didn't like it, but he agreed anyway.

"Well, we might as well go see what Lynn has up her sleeve." So, we made our way down the path to the lake just in time to here screams.

(Author's Note: I know, it's not too long but it's all I could come up with for now. I'm thinking that there's only going to be 2 more chapters, so I'm almost done. The ending will be good, though, so don't worry. Please Review!)
