Chapter 13

Miranda, Lizzie, and Gordo decided to head back to their cabin. It was already 11:34 A.M. and lunch was in only 10 minutes. So if they wanted to eat, they had better got back.

But the one thing that they were all caring about most was THEIR safety; I mean they are in a camp with no contact with the outside world, and also some weird counselor who doesn't even believe them about Kate. But what were they to do. No cell phones were permitted into the camp, so there was absolutely no way for their parent's or any guardian to be contacted. When they first came to Camp Jordan they never even thought about having to make contact with anyone, they just thought it was some silly camp rule that cell phones and communication was banned...and now they really wished they had thought a lot more about this little 'camp' they were staying at. They needed to find a way out and quick before anything else bad happened.

"Gordo..."

"What is it, Liz?"

Lizzie stuttered her usual stutter for a moment and then began.

"I really want to leave this place. No one believes anything that is happening to us here and I mean why would they...but...Gordo there is something seriously wrong with this place. Why would a teenage girl just...be...murdered? I think we need to get out of here before something else...something worse happens."

Gordo moved over to his girlfriend and cradled her in his arms, she had plenty enough.

Suddenly Luke barged through the door to their cabin, with an exasperated and very serious look on his face.

Miranda looked at her recently claimed 'boyfriend'. She completely forgot about him, after everything that had been happening that day how couldn't she.

Finally she snapped back to reality.

"Luke. Luke what's wrong?"

"There's been...a...murder. Another one."

Lizzie stood up and glared over to Luke's eyes.

"Wh- how? Who?"

Out of breath Luke answered.

"C- Claire. Claire has been murdered."

Lizzie, Gordo and Miranda looked at each other and stared into one another's eyes.

Then Lizzie switched her glare back over to Luke.

"How did you even know about the first one...about Kate?"

He looked at her shocked; he wasn't expecting that kind of question.

"Look, I know that you think I am a bad guy...but I'm not. I'm really not; truthfully I am here to help you! Please just trust me."

"I will trust you when I know how you knew about Kate."

He sighed, very exhausted.

"Well...see I was walking to the shower room this morning just doing my regular routine like every morning, and I saw this strange figure lurking in the shadow's just staring at Lizzie, at first I thought it was just Gordo being some kind of pervert..."

Miranda giggled, very tickled by that comment.

"...But then I got a little closer...and I realized how it wasn't him...personally I thought that Lizzie was in trouble...so I followed her into the shower room. Where she got into the shower, so I figured that everything was alright. I decided to just stay in one of the stall's until she finished up so I wouldn't scared her or anything by making noise to start my shower. Then out of nowhere I heard a really odd noise...something unexpected. I sat in the stall for a moment debating on whether to open the door or keep it shut. Finally I decided to open it, after about 5 minutes, and when I looked I saw a pool of blood around Kate's fragile body and heard the shower room door slam shut I looked out the window and saw Lizzie running. Naturally, like any other person I panicked and I thought, what if someone walks in here and see's me right next to her body. They would think that I was the murderer. Which honestly wasn't true."

Gordo, Miranda and Lizzie stared at each other and then decided to let him continue on.

"So, I freaked and I took towels and picked up her weightless, cold body...and I..."

"You...?" They all three said in unison.

"I through her into the lake...lake Jordan."

"Wh...why? Why would you do something like that? You could have reported it! You are one of the counselor's after all!"

Said, a very frustrated and shocked Lizzie.

"I know, I know that I could have. It's just I freaked out and I didn't know what to do. I was scared. I mean this is after all my first year and I was just so...well...scared...Miranda...if you don't want to ya know...go out anymore I understand."

Miranda glared at him.

"Did you...did you even have any feelings for me? At all?"

Lizzie didn't know where that had come from; they had a lot more important matters in their hands.

Finally Luke responded after a long halt of silence.

"N-...no. If you want me to be completely honest, I uh...I never did. I kind of...actually liked Lizzie and I was just...using you to get to her...I realize that it was wrong...and I'm sorry."

Miranda stared deep into his eyes. He had been lying to her.

"How dare you. You had no right at all to violate my feelings like that, you know she has a boyfriend whom she love's more then you will ever know and nothing not even you will break that love."

Then she simply walked up to him and slapped him hard across the face.

Miranda was to the point of tears; the guy that she snagged for the summer was throwing a dead girl over a bridge into a lake, and crushing on her best friend. She had heard plenty enough and decided to run out of her cabin.

"I- I had better go check on her."

Said Lizzie and then she began to walk out of the cabin, until Luke gently grabbed her arm.

"No, I should go talk to her."

Lizzie stepped back and decided to let him. What would he have to lose; she already smacked him hard across the face.

There was a moment of silence after Luke had exited the small cabin.

But reluctantly Gordo spoke.

"Kate...and Claire...they...they're dead."

Lizzie looked into her boyfriend's eyes. She had known what happened to her beloved boyfriend at that moment. He had truly comprehended what had happened on that day. He realized that death wasn't just in the movies...it happened in real life as well.

After about another minute, Lizzie walked over to Gordo and curled up in his arms...they had both had enough...it was time to find a way out of there.
