Chapter 14: Threats

Samantha's POV

Let's just say the trip was going well, no seriously, it was going well than expected, I expected Daniel's group to go and eat us by now and we would have to kill them but to be honest, they kept their distance and I was well… okay.

When we looked around, I noticed a slight chill breeze and shivered; I took off my bag and put on my jacket. I slowed down my pace to talk to Ronnie and the others.

"They seem…" I struggled to find the word.

Ronnie nodded, "I know," She whispered, "Normal,"

Arianna joined in and glanced at them, "They seem really off today," She scrunched her nose in disgust, "Acting all high and proud." She muttered.

Reyna asked, "Do you think any of them are going to feed?"

I shrugged, "Who knows? But it wouldn't surprise me."

We continued walking and began taking notes, I smiled as I lifted my hand up and a butterfly fluttered to my finger. I looked at it and copied the design. It had a beautiful blue lined pattern. I smiled and made it fly away by lifting my finger slightly.

"We should camp here, it's getting dark soon." I heard Daniel stating, "There a lake close by and some berries that are eatable." He looked at the sky, "We better start the tents."

I grumbled, since when was he the boss? I grabbed my tent and made it into a tent. I made sure that my tent was made so my group can sleep there and not apart. I sighed and told Roxy, "Roxy, I'm going to fill my bottle up with water okay?"

She nodded and told me, "Be careful, I heard there are a lot of animal attacks."

I nodded but resisted the urge to roll my eyes; sure… it was surely animals. I picked up my bag with my water bottle and walked tot eh lake. When I filled it up, I returned to my tent.

When it was getting dark, we decided to find some wood to build a campfire, we all paired up but I was still uncomfortable, I was with Roxy and Reyna while Alice was with Ronnie. I walked nervously forward and kept picking up wood. When us three, got a handful, we went back.

I saw Ronnie trying to make a fire and I chuckled, she was totally doing it wrong. I walked forward and lit the wood with my finger.

"Show off." She muttered,

I rolled my eyes, "Just trying to keep us all warm." I protested honestly. She smiled and put her arms near the fare keeping her warm.

"So you've already created a fire I see!" Someone exclaimed near us.

I frowned and turned around, Daniel. "Where's your other posse?"

He smirked, "Out and about."

I gritted my teeth and growled. He raised his hands up in a surrender position, "Chill! There just getting more wood." I smirked, ironic that there getting something that could kill them.

I turned to Ronnie, "Ronnie, why don't you go tell the others that they should go to sleep? It's really late." I looked up at the stars.

She nodded and left. I continued to tend the fire and noticed that Daniel has been watching me and has been stood there the whole time, "Sam, why don't you get some sleep?" I narrowed my eyes and stayed quiet; I continued to tend the fire and ignored him.

I stayed up the whole night and now I was throwing wood into the fire. Everyone suggested that I get some sleep but I kept refusing, I was no way in hell going to sleep and find me and my friends dead when I wake up.

I felt my eyes drop a bit but shook it off, I was about to make some food when I noticed the food went missing. I frowned and looked around.

"Looking for this?" Someone asked me,

I turned around and saw Alice, I smiled, "Yeah, can I have it?"

She shook her head, "You need to relax Sam, too much work could really make you snap."

I sighed, "It's fine,"

"Well anyway, you can rest, I'll make the food." Alice insisted. I was about to protest but knew that we were both stubborn; I sighed and went back in the tent. As soon as I was on my sleeping bag, I lay down there looking up.

"So the girl is finally getting some rest huh?" Someone came into the tent.

I sat up and saw Arianna; I smiled, "Sort of."

We continued walking for a few hours but the temperature got really hot. The higher we got, the hotter we got. Thank god I have a sun hat. We walked past the woodland area until I heard a shriek. I turned around and saw Roxy holding her arm.

"What's up?" I asked concerned,

She held her wrist, "I-It's nothing, I just caught myself on some twigs and my wrist started bleeding."

I gritted my teeth and took of my bag, I glanced at Daniel's group and they seemed to stay a bit further away from us. I took of some spray and a bandage. I took her wrist and glanced at her, I spray a bit and she sent a bit of a squeal. I winced and wrapped the bandage around her wrist.

"All done." I smiled,

Roxy smiled, "Thanks, well we better get going, we might be late."

"Depends if we can get the compass working…" Daniel muttered and tapped the compass furiously,

I looked at him weirdly, is he really that stupid? I shook my head and took charge.

"Well it looks like you're the first ones here." The teacher said proudly, "Good job!" he smiled. "You can wait in the coach and talk amongst yourselves."

I looked at him dumbly and sighed, why is it that I always get paired up with the vampires? I shook my head and walked to the coach. I chose to sit in the back row and saw my group follow me.

"Well how do you like the camping then?" I asked Roxy,

She scrunched her nose, "I absolutely HATE it." She exclaimed, "I hate bugs and all those insects." She shivered.

I chuckled "Maybe, but I like the wild." I glanced at the woods,

"I hate it!" Arianna came into the conversation, "It is so nasty!"

I chuckled, "You two think so much alike."

They turned their heads towards me, "NO WE DON'T!"

When we arrived back at school, I took my car and drove home, I noticed Sophie's light still on and I frowned, it's 2 o'clock in the morning! I locked my car and walked in. I looked around and saw the living room in order and all the other rooms' fine.

I walked up to Sophie's room and knocked, "Sophie? Are you there?"

"…" No answer…

I knocked again frantically, "Soph, I mean it! Quit playing around!"

"…"

I knocked the door off to see where she was, I frowned, she wasn't in her room. I noticed all her things were in order; her bed was folded neatly, her desk wasn't piled up with stuff. She was a proper neat freak.

I knocked on the bathroom to see if she was there. I heard the water running and sighed; she's probably taking a shower and couldn't hear me. I slowly opened the door and dropped my bag.

My jaw dropped shocked and eyes were about to wear down, I felt a chill, I knew it was happening; I had a huge bad vibe this morning and still… I didn't prevent it. I stumbled back in shock and many things were going through me. Hurt, anger, guilt, sadness and grief.

I stood up shakily and dialled mom's number, "Hello?" I lump got caught in my throat and I croaked out.

"M-Mom, y-you n-need t-to g-get h-home n-now." I stuttered and glanced around the house.

"But sweetie, I'm in a meeting." She whispered softly,

I told her, "Mom, Sophie's in danger and needs some healing done by a professional."

Did you expect that? Review!
