Camp Grounds Bonus Chapter
Nightmares
Ino's hands felt a little shaky. She's been thinking about the camp.
If Shino wasn't her partner, who knows what could have happened.
Ino's father was yelling at the owners who had a criminal hiding out while the kids were there and they could have found him and been killed.
"Ino. I heard about the...kid." It was Tenten and Sakura.
They came into her room and sat down. A child had gone up to the cabin and found the man and was killed because of finding him.
The police have been everywhere and they haven't found and sign of the killer, but the camp officially closed.
While it was a good thing, many parents wanted to sue. Naruto and Sasuke didn't care all that much, maybe cause they don't have parents but most everyone else did.
"Are you okay? The director did have you and Shino go on the path to the old cabins." Sakura asked.
"I'm fine. At least, I think. But I haven't talked to Shino." Ino said.
Things didn't get any more quiet with the killer out there.
At night, Ino tried to sleep through all the things happening, but her mind wondered.
Thinking back, could she have gone in that cabin, could she also have been killed, being chased by him, if she was alone, she might not live for long even with how...tough she may be.
"Shino! Where are you? Where are you Shino? I thought you cared about me!"
"Ha. He doesn't."
"All he is, is a weakling."
"He's just a bug of his own."
All her friends stood around her. Ino ran for it. But the laughing got louder.
No butterfly to help her.
"He doesn't care about you."
"You are a selfish little bitch after all."
"You think shit of everyone. Well, guess what, it works BOTH WAYS!"
How could her friend think that? Why would she think that?
This...this wasn't right. This wasn't real!
She shook her head. "I have to wake up!" She screamed at herself.
But looking up, she saw that child's face. It's had blood all over it. "No."
The child was dripping, and pointed at her. "It should, have been, you."
Ino screamed but no sound came out.
She finally woke up, in her bed, her father shaking her. "It's alright. It was just a nightmare." He said.
Ino cried while hugging her father tightly.
"Your safe here. Your not at the camp anymore." He said to her trying to calm her down.
Ino didn't go back to sleep after that.
Naruto and Sakura came to visit her the next morning, and Shikamaru and Choji came with Shino for dinner. And they did the cooking!
While Shikamaru and Choji aren't the best at cooking, Shino made some really good pasta for them to enjoy.
Ino was slightly feeling better, but she still felt like those words were partly true. Not the one about her friends, but that it should have been her who died and not the kid.
After dinner, Shino went to Ino's room, where she hid away from her parents and friends.
"Your still worried about the nightmare?" He asked.
Ino's father told them what happened. Or Naruto and Sakura did. Either way, she wasn't in the mood to talk or repeat anything she saw in that dream.
Shino sat on her bed next to her and hugged her from the side. "I'm here for you. If that was us, I wouldn't let anything happen to you." He told her.
Ino held onto him tight and silently cried in his arm. Shino would always be there for her.
But the only thing was, "No matter what, I will always protect you. We are partners." He seemed to have a hard time saying, "I Love You"
