Whispers rushed around the group. The man smirked and walked off. "In charge? But what about Robert and Maryse?" said Simon. "Yeah, what's going on?" asked Maia frowning. Will and Cecily glanced at each other and Will shook his head slightly.

"Will, Cecily, would you care to enlighten us?" said Clary folding her arms. Cecily rolled her eyes. "Told you" she hissed at Will. Will shook his head. "Robert and Maryse aren't in charge any more. The company who runs the camp gave their jobs to him, Valentine Morgenstern." said Will bitterly.

"But Robert and Maryse did a good job, why sack them?" asked Sophie. "Who knows?" said Will. "I do." said Cecily bitterly. The group turned their attention to her. "Valentine Morgenstern is a very rich man, not kind and definitely not someone we want in charge, but rich and powerful. His people have taken over businesses before, but never a holiday camp." she explained.

"Then why come here? There are bigger, richer, more important camps than this one." said Gideon. "Maybe he just likes the look of this place, maybe it's personal?" said Tessa. "Whatever his motivation is, the way he was talking just then doesn't sound good." said Jace.

Clary focused on the man standing at the microphone. The morning had dawned bright and clear as usual, but whereas yesterday morning she was doing crafts by this time, today she was in the hall with all the other leaders and campers listening to Valentine explaining about the camp.

"The changes that will take place won't make camp less fun, in fact we are adding more activities to make the camp even better than before. The reason for these changes is to refresh camp and improve it, not to make it worse. All I ask is that you cooperate and have fun. Thank you" he said clearly.

A few claps filled the air, but most of the leaders remained silent, glaring at Valentine. The campers filed out of the hall, leaving only the leaders. "Pay attention leaders." said Valentine commandingly "Even though camp is different, your duties are the same as ever. Activities will continue as normal for you, however I have recruited more leaders to help improve existing activities and to add new ones. The new leaders will arrive this evening and I expect you all there to greet them. No excuses, no exceptions" he said his eyes flitting to Cecily, Will and Jace. "Activities will resume in 20 minutes. Go." he finished before turning around and striding out of the hall.

Clary looked after him. His pitch had been impressive and improvements in camp were good, but she didn't trust him. It was something about the dead look in his eyes and the way he held himself. There was something not right."Well I" said Simon breaking the silence "did not like him at all!"

Although activities continued as normal that day, Clary couldn't shake the feeling of something being not quite right that was looming over the camp. The children seemed a little quieter and less energetic, but she supposed some of them might have come here for years and were missing Robert and Maryse. She tried to forget and immersed herself in helping the campers with the scrapbooks they were making.

"So what do you think the new leaders will be like?" asked Jem as they all sat down for dinner. "A group of teens who are capable of doing basic sporting and creative activities probably" said Alec. Jem rolled his eyes. "It can't really get worse than Kaelie can it" asked Jordan. Magnus shrugged. "We don't know. Kaelie might just be the shallow end." he said. "We have to give them a chance" said Isabelle. "We can't just hate them straight away. They might just be normal kids like us, wanting to volunteer over the summer." Will raised his eyebrows. "Maybe. But I just don't think Valentine seems like that kind of person. He would pick and choose, maybe people he knows and trusts." he said. Cecily nodded. "We'll give them a chance. Then we decide." said Jace definitively.

"Hey Kaelie." said Aline into the phone. "Yeah, exactly like you said, changes in camp. The man? His name? Valentine something or other. Morgenstern, that's it. Like him? I don't know, he seems ok I suppose. What do you mean big plans? How do you know this stuff? An informant? Who? You can't tell me. Ok, I'll trust Valentine for now but I'm not sure. No, I believe you! Ok Kaelie. I'll call you again tomorrow. Bye."

Clary pulled the jacket closer around her. The wind was sending a cool breeze across the courtyard as they waited for the new leaders. Cars had been pulling up for the last 10 or so minutes dropping off people. There were 4 of the 5 new leaders they had been told to expect already here. There was a tall girl with blondish hair who hadn't introduced herself and three brothers who she had picked up to be called Jeremy, Mike and Zach.

A car pulled up and a tall boy stepped out. He made his way up to where the others were standing. Clary's stomach churned as she saw his face. "Hello again Clary" said the boy smirking. "Hello Sebastian" said Clary bitterly.

HEY!

So Sebastian is back. What is going on? And how does Kaelie know about everything at camp?

Yes okay I apologise for the lateness, but I did warn you in the last chapter that I was away on camp. (Sadly no fictional characters, but I had a great time!) However, it will be daily uploads (hopefully) from now on!

Please review! (I love hearing from you and your ideas and general CoHF fangirling! Also, please request ship fluff in the reviews eg. Sizzy, Jaia, Wessa)

Thank you squillions for reading! And also to everyone who has reviewed, followed and favourited already!
