Basketball camp - day four.
Glimmer POV:
''Another one! another one !'' Delly yelled.
'' No way. My whole body is shivering, and by the way, you said this was going to be a true story.'' Chrissie snapped, while taking the torch out of Adeline's hands.
''It's true,'' Adeline started,'' My friend said so.''
I sigh. Adeline Basha. She wasn't a liar, but the worlds most naive girl. Maybe a bit stupid, also. Apparently, her friend was at a party when a girl came up to talk to her. Later that night she went to her house to give her the bag she forgot in the club, but the person that opened the door said the girl has been dead for three years. I'm starting to think if somebody told her to jump off a cliff to save her family, she would do it. Not the brightest person you've met, but I guess she's okay other than that.
They started bickering again, but my thoughts were already far away. I might not like insects, but I enjoy staying in the woods. I know Katniss would've loved it here. We gathered around the fire, like we do every year. It was a tradition. It was a chilly night, so everyone appreciated the warmth coming from the flames. We were in the middle of roasting marshmallows and sharing spooky stories. I've burned my tongue about six times, and maybe roasted one proper marshmallow. What can I say? Not really good at this stuff, like Katniss is. She would have no problem surviving if she was lost in the woods. Me, on the other hand, I'd probably die on the second day.
'' Don't be such a wuss.'' Delly exclaimed,'' Glimmer, it's your turn.''
So not in the mood for story telling. I lift my gaze from the fire to look at them. All jumbled up in a circle, sitting on the logs with blankets on. Am I the only idiot who seems to prefer sitting on the floor? Those logs are not very comfy. I look at all their faces. They are anticipating my story. I guess I could narrate the one story Katniss told me. Not really spooky, but who knows, these girls start screaming when a twig cracks. Might even make them run off.
''Pass me the torch,'' I grin,'' I'm going to tell you the story about the black ribbon.''
I haven't even started the story yet, and they are already scooting closer to each other. I roll my eyes. The titles not even scary. I started of with a spooky voice.
'' A long time ago a young man fell in love with a beautiful woman. She always dressed nice, and ALWAYS wore a black ribbon around her neck. They got married and moved into a little cottage by the sea. One day he was really curios to why she always wore that ribbon. Since he was so eager to know, he asked her. The only thing she said was he would be sorry if she took it off. So she didn't. Since he was not pleased with her answer, and the curiosity got the best of him, he opened her sewing box to get a pair of scissors. He went back to bed, and CUT OFF her ribbon. Her head fell off and rolled onto the floor while the woman screamed I told you you'd be sorry!".
I turn off the flashlight with a wide grin on my face. Nobody was screaming or running, but they were just sitting there, shivering. I laugh. This is better than I thought. Nobody is saying a word. Then came silence. Only the wind could be heard. All of sudden, a group of masked faces sneaked behind us. Everyone started screaming, except me. They ran in the direction where our counselor's cabin was, with the masked guys following behind them.
Yeah, I was scared too, and wanted to scream. From the outside I looked like I didn't move a muscle, and I wasn't frightened at the least, but in the inside my heart is beating fast.
''We got a fearless one over here,'' a voice chuckled.
I jumped startled. I was so caught up in my thoughts, I didn't realize one of them stayed behind, still wearing a mask on.
''What do you want?'' I yell.
''No need to get your panties in a twist, it's just a joke!'' he chuckled.
''It's not a funny one, asshole,'' I smirk.
''Oooh! I like my girls spunky. Don't you think it would be a shame if this didn't happen? I wouldn't have met such a beautiful girl,'' he said getting closer.
I blush and turn around to run away, but I ran right into the bitch of them all. Nicole. Fuck!
I have to stop here, because I'm going out (and because it's a good place for me to stop). I'll come back, and update the sixteenth chapter really soon. Just to let you know, there will be lots of KATO, so don't worry. I just have to finish Glimmer/Marvel story, so it doesn't get confusing later (they are an important part of the story:) ). I hope you like reading about them. If you don't, I'll try to minimize their lines..so tell me..and there will be a Cato POV coming soon for those of you who were wondering. Hope you enjoyed, and review !:)
