OMG! I'm sorry for not updating for a week! :O my weeks been pretty jam packed what with a science exam, my birthday, a food tech project and the list goes on...plus ive had writers block :C so I hope you enjoy the chapter and don't forget to review! :D
Meghan sat on her bed brushing her long dark brown wavy hair, Caitlyn was asleep in the bed next to Meghan's-she hadn't been willing to go to sleep, but Brown had suggested that Meghan should crush sleeping pills into a glass of water and get Caitlyn to drink it. He had offered one for Meghan as well so she could get a proper nights' sleep, but she had refused it.
She set her hair brush on her beside table and was just about to try and get some sleep when she heard a loud 'splash' coming from outside. Puzzled Meghan got out of her bed and walked to the window that faced the lake, she saw to figures at the lake, at first she could only see a fuzzy outline so she quickly got her glasses off her bedside table and looked out of the window again and saw to her horror a dark figure dressed all in black was holding someone's head down in the water, and that person was thrashing and splashing like mad trying to get their head above water, but failing. In shock Meghan grabbed her digital camera and took a picture of the scene that was unfolding-she could use it later as evidence.
She knew that this was the murderer and thought it foolish to run out and try and stop them, because they would be able to kill her easily and that wouldn't do anyone any good.
Suddenly the poor person whose head was in the water stopped thrashing and went totally limp, the killer let go of the person leaving their head in the water and ran off into the deep forest.
Meghan ran out of her cabin and sprinted towards the lake. She ran along the little dock to the end, where the person was lying motionless half in the water.
She pulled their head out of the water and turned them over so they were on their back.
To her horror she saw it was Nate. She quickly checked his cold wrist for a pulse…luckily it was there.
She gently sat Nate up and started to hit his back, water gushed out of his open mouth and his head lolled (A/n: I've been wanting to use "lolled" for like EVER :D) forward so his chin was touching his chest.
When all the water had been let out she laid Nate back down flat and checked if he was breathing-he wasn't. "NATE!!!!" a hysterical voice shouted from the other end of the dock oh great…Caitlyn was awake "NATE! OH MY GOD NATE!" there was the sound of running across the wooden deck. Meghan didn't look away from Nate's pale emotionless face as she titled his chin up, pinched his chin and opened his mouth, She sucked in a two lungfull's of breath and was about to put her mouth to Nate's when, she was pushed slightly out of the way by Caitlyn who was sobbing on Nate's chest. Meghan tried to get Caitlyn out of the way but she refused to be moved. "Caitlyn move out of the way so I can help Nate…cause where you are now isn't doing anyone any good!" Meghan said firmly Caitlyn starred at her in disbelief the flow of tears momentarily stopped in their tracks, and she quickly moved out of the way over to the other side of Nate and held onto his limp hand.
Meghan took another breath and lowered her face down to Nate's (A/N: I'm very envious of you now Meghan :D) and blew all the air her lungs could hold into him. She repeated this a few times when suddenly Nate gasped loudly and started to cough loudly. "Nate!" Caitlyn cried out. At hearing her voice Nate's eyes fluttered open. "Caity?" he said, his voice a little hoarse.
Caitlyn couldn't answer from the sobs that shook her frame violently, Nate sat up and hugged her tightly to him. "Shh…it's ok…you're ok…I'm ok…"
Nate's grip on Caitlyn loosened and he started to pitch backwards almost falling into the lake if Meghan and Caitlyn hadn't caught him in time and held him upright.
"We better get you to the medical room!" The two girls put both of Nate's arms over their shoulders so they could help him walk to the medical room. By the time they got to the medical room they had to practically drag him to the door, he was really out of it, his eyes would go in and out of focus, and his head would move from side to side either leaning on Caitlyn or Meghan. "Come on Nate, just a little further and you'll be able to lye down…" Meghan said in encouragement because Nate's legs couldn't support him any longer and they buckled, luckily both girls were still holding onto him. They somehow managed to open the door and get Nate over to the little medical bed in the dark. They laid Nate down and he sighed and closed his eyes falling into a deep sleep. Caitlyn sat down on the bed next to Nate and stroked his hair gently. Meghan sat on a big armchair that was next to the bed. Both girls thought it best to wait until morning in the medical room until the nurse of the camp came back. They were starting to drift off to sleep when the door to the medical room burst open at the same time a flash of lightning lit up the sky revealing a silhouette of a person in the doorway…
