Squid stood a moment silent in his cabin looking at the boys he now had to become aquainted with. There was a greater diversity at Camp River Dale compared to Camp Green Lake. That's what all the boy's noticed, teens from all over the world were there.

"I'm Tahj,"A tall black boy got up and extended his hand, he spoke with a pure jamaican accent. Squid took his hand and shook it. "And that's Chris and Jeremy,"Tahj pointed at the two other boys.

"Hi,"Squid nodded. "I'm Squid,"

"Funny name,"Chris pointed out with a european accent.

"Oh no, it's a nickname,"

Tahj's eyes widened. "That might not be such a good idea.. using a nickname is dangerous.."Jeremy warned.

"Why?"

"The soldier's or so called counsiler's, have certain rule's we have to follow.. If somebody addresses somebody else by another name besides what they were born with- they could be punished for being up to something.. You don't want them to think your trying to pull a stunt-"

"But-"

"No, buts.. that's a rule- or a least one of them,"Jeremy sighed.

"He's right,"Chris nodded. "So- what's your real name?"

Squid winced, he didn't like his name, but if it was that or getting in trouble he'd take the easier way.

"Alan,"

"Well, than- Nice to meet ya, Alan,"Tahj smiled.

It wasn't too bad, it coulda been worse. But maybe it just didn't seem bad- yet.

There were some things at Camp River Dale that was a lot like Camp Green Lake. After their daily work routines they had a choice to go back to their cabins or to the Recreation Building. That was the one time when both, boy's and girl's could go and hang out after a hard, tiring day of work.

A loud, screeching horn blew loudly through out the camp. Most of the camper's walked towards a large white bulding known as the "Recreation Center'. Inside were several chairs, tables, and an assorment of small board games. There was also an upper lever or 'the loft' where a row of benches were set up; a big pull down screen stood at the front. Kid's walked around the rec. center talking to people, playing a game, or as for the new kid's- took the time to look around.

"What's that?"Zigzag asked and pointed at the loft.

"Oh, that's where we watch old movies on special occasions,"A boy from Zig's cabin named Tim answered.

"Cool,"Zigzag smiled.

"Ya know- this place is really clean, like-like a hospitol,"Magnet shivered.

"They like it clean,"Tahj jumped into the conversation.

"It creeps me out,"Zigzag sighed, and Magnet nodded.

All the boy's from the cabins gathered at one large table. All of D-Tent, with an exception of Twitch and X; sat around the table with a few of their new 'friends'.

"Still having a hard time believing there's girls here- That's cool,"Armpit smiled, as well as the other D-Tent members. But the other boy's frowned and shook their head's slowly.

Tahj spoke up, "We are carfully watched.. all the time. So- I wouldn't try anything, other than talking,"

Zigzag looked around the room, Tahj was right; there were guards everywhere.

"I never noticed that before-"Zigzag's eyes widened.

"Just be carefull, do what your told, and you'll be fine,"Tim reassured him.

From the other side of the room, girls watched the new campers. Campers always came in happy, and clueless. If only they knew.. they could enjoy themselves for now. But- not for long..

"Hey- I want ya guys to meet someone,"Jeremy looked over his shoulder and motioned for someone, than looked back at D-Tent. A girl, a little shorter than Jeremy but with resemblance walked over. She had wavy, brown hair that went past her shoulders, and she was looking down. Frightened, and shy you could tell she wasn't really ready to talk to anyone right away.

"This is my sister- Annabella,"Jeremy introduced.

"Hi,"Zigzag smiled, for some reason he just couldn't keep his eyes off of her. The other D-Tent boy's said hi as well.

"Hello.."She whispered, than mummbled something to Jeremy no one else could hear.

"No.. no, I'm fine. Go ahead."Jeremy whispered back. Jeremy and Annabella Dubree were jewish sibling's who had been at Camp River Dale for almost 2 years now. Anna was 16, and Jeremy was 17; they were sent on account for running away from home, running from the cops, and Annabella's attempt at suicide. One major problem, and secret of Jeremy's was his illness. At twelve he was diagnosed with Lukemia, and has had off and on symptom's of that ever since.

Annabella walked away and was about to bring over a few other girls until... loud whistle's were blown by several counsiler's and Mr.Gerick.

"EVERYONE! TO THE COURTYARD!"Mr.Gerick yelled.

All the camper's filed out of the rec. center and their cabins. Both boy's and girl's, along with counsiler's and guard's walked out to a new area of the camp; which the D-Tenter's hadn't seen yet. An open area, surrounded by large brick walls, leading up to a tall, wooden gate at one end. All the kid's got into two seperate line's facing eachother; girl's on one side, boy's on the other. They all waited silently.

Squid noticed that all the other kid's bowed their heads, and had the saddest expression. Some kid's faces were visible with tears dripping down their faces. Then- two large men dragged along a boy to the middle of the two lines. The boy was struggling, trying to free himself from their grasp. He was holding back tears as they inched toward's the wooden gate. The gate slowly opened, and a long path was shone, going past a large bunch of trees. D-Tent could tell the path led to another building, but weren't sure. The two men, and boy walked through; the gate closing behind them.

Everyone was to walk back to their cabins for bed after the boy was no longer in sight. He went down the path, struggling to be free, and never returned.
