Chapter 7: The Real Thing

Squid walked back to the tent and to his surprise, every one was awake, getting ready for breakfast.

"You okay?" Magnet asked. When squid didn't answer him, every one became concerned.

"How's Ashley?" Zero asked.

"I don't want to talk about it," Squid said, walking out of the tent.

"Something must've happened. I'm gonna go talk to Marcella," Magnet said, before walking to the cabin. Ten minutes later, Magnet met the D-Tent at the shovel shed. He turned to Squid. "I'm sorry man. Marcella told me."

"What happened?" X-Ray asked. Magnet looked at Squid. "You want me to tell them." Squid shrugged. "Go ahead." Then he walked off and Magnet turned to address the group. "Dagger didn't make it."

"What?" X-Ray asked.

"An accomplice killed the demon before they could get the potion," Magnet said and they headed out to the lakebed.

The rest of the day went pretty normal until Cole, Leo, Piper, Phoebe, and Paige showed up.

"What are you guys doing here?" X-Ray asked.

"We need to talk to you guys. Listen, I know you all know what happened. But you can't let any of the other campers find out. It won't be good if they do," Piper said.

"You're acting like nothing happened!" Squid snapped.

"Listen. We've known Ashley longer than you have! And we're still trying to figure stuff out," Cole said. X-Ray shook his head. "You're acting like Dagger's fine."

"Listen. Ashley's been through this a lot. Demons attacking her all the time, I mean. She has never had a normal day. She had to miss her semi because we had a demon problem. She lost her family because of demons, she's lost friends because of warlocks," Phoebe said.

"We really don't care who she lost; we care that we lost her," Zigzag said causing every one to stare at him.

"Why do you care, Zig? You never even said one word to her!" Squid said. Zigzag got back to digging and Phoebe knelt down near Squid's hole. "I know you're upset but you can't run around, blaming every one for Ashley's accident." Squid looked up at her, tears rolling down his cheeks. He brushed them away. "It wasn't an 'accident'. Ashley was murdered." Phoebe was going to say something else but Cole put a hand on her shoulder. "Don't. He's been through enough." Phoebe got up and all five of them walked away.

That night, Mr. Pendanski helped a group talk and guess who was there. Marcella, Marina, Jessica, Piper, Phoebe, Paige, Cole, and Leo joined the group.

"Listen. Of the events that happened this week, we still must move on," Mr. Pendanski said.

"How can we move on? I mean, the girl that I loved is dead! And ya, I'm not ashamed to say it. We were going out!" Squid yelled.

"Listen! She was my sister! How do you think I feel?" Marcella yelled.

"A sister that gave up her life to save you!" Squid said.

"She was no match for that demon and you knew that!" Jessica yelled at Piper.

"What were we supposed to do!" Piper said. Squid looked glared at her. "You could've saved her." Just then, Leo stood up. "I gotta go. Elders want me for some reason. Probably to try and kill me again." Piper stood up and took his hand in her's. "I'm going with you." And with that, they orbed out.

Next morning, the D-Tent, Marcella, Jessica, and Marina were out digging. Around six, they saw some one running with a shovel.

"Sorry I'm late," the person said, starting to dig.

You're the one I want

And it's not just a phase

You're the one I trust

Our love is the real thing

Don't go away (my love)

Want you to stay (in my life)

Don't go away my lover

(My love)

I'm happiest when we spend time
