Title- Penelope

Author- taylorxxoo2

Summary- Michie, Ella and Tess are at Camp Rock and a ghost story is shared. It's fake, isn't it? Read to see who survives and who doesn't. R&R. Rated T for content.

Chapter 7- It was empty and the voices were silenced

Ella's heart sped as fast as her feet, as she ran through the forest at top speed. She thought about screaming but her thoughts were cut short when she tripped. Not even blinking, Ella jumped from the ground and again sped into the forest. Luckily she didn't happen to get the same fate as Michie, whoever…whatever, seemed to want Ella to perish differently then everyone else.

As Ella ran, her thoughts ran around inside her mind. Bumping into the walls of her brain, and confusing her even more. Ella had to admit she had no idea where she was going, or if she was just going in circles. Everything looked the same to Ella, even in the day, and right then it was pitch black.

The panting Ella finally made it to a place she felt much safer. She could see the lights from the camp, just a bit farther back. Again Ella thought of screaming to get help but she was much to tired to even whisper. But she wouldn't give up then, she would live and she would find Michie and Tess, and Shane, Nate and Jason. Her mind was set on it.

Walking slowly toward camp Ella heard voices back deeper in the forest. Her head turned side to side, deciding which way to go. Ella finally decided to go toward the voices; it could've been her friends.

Ella started jogging deeper into the forest, trying to follow the voices. They sounded as if they were coming from the left, so she went left. They led to a small clearing, just like the one she imagined Penelope would've went to. Luckily no murderer was there, but also no people. It was empty and the voices were silenced. This confused Ella, she could've sworn she heard them.

Very soon the voices were back, but a different direction. They seemed to be coming from the direction of the beach, where she thought the beach was, so again she jogged into the forest. Why would she do this? She had her mindset; she was going to find everyone.

Soon she made it to the beach. It had a very eerie vibe, probably because this was where they night had started…and ended for others. Unlike the meadow, when Ella made it there the voices did not disappear, the got louder. But like the meadow, no one was there. This both calmed Ella and frightened her.

Soon the voices stopped and the scene was silent. The waves of the lake splashed against the shore and the wind blew between the branches of the trees. Tears fell from Ella's eyes. Everything finally fell into place, no one was around for her to find.

A laugh screeched through the air. A laugh that brought back memories of her, Michie and Tess laughing together. It sounded like Michie and Tess's laughs.

Ella's head shot up and she looked toward the dock. On the deck there looked to be shadows, so Ella shot into the water.
