Hey, guys. I'm back! I know it's been a while, but I wanted to wait until October came, and it did. So, here is the new chapter of my Haunted Summer Camp story. Also, I know a lot of you guys are glad to finally find PJ Masks toys in stores, mostly in Toys R Us, but I just can't wait until the new episode comes out. Now, here's a little something I have to say to some reviewers:
Bluecatcinema: Once again, your support for my writing is appreciated.
FireKing Atlas: I appreciate your support for my writing as well.
Bob4tide: That's a great idea, but unfortunately, that's not what I have planned for this chapter. Sorry. But, I might use something like that for another chapter, or story. I'll keep your glasses ideas in mind.
Whoever this other guest is: Thank you for your support, too. I'm glad that you agree with me about season 2 of PJ Masks airing in 2018. And, thank you for feeling where I was coming from with my Moments after Missions stories. If you feel like it, could give me the details on what you agree with me on for Moments after Missions, please? Though, you don't have to if you don't want to.
Giselle H: Here it is!

Chapter 3- Connor in the Lake
Two hours after the firewood activity; all the campers were walking down to the lake with Ms. Zane.
Greg: I'm glad that my rash went away before this. I can't wait to go into the lake, and do some snorkeling.
Amaya: Same here. I can't wait to go canoeing.
They hear a rattling noise. They look at Connor, and see that his knees are shaking.
Connor: (little embarrassed laugh)…
Amaya: Nervous about going into the lake, Connor?
Connor: Yeah. It's no secret that I don't like getting wet, but I am a bit excited to see what the lake is like.
Greg: Don't worry. It'll be fun.
They reach the dock, and Ms. Zane is standing next to the lifeguard.
Ms. Zane: Children, say hello to Mr. Crossman, the camp lifeguard.
Kids: Hello, Mr. Crossman.
Mr. Crossman: Hello, children. Is everybody excited to go into the lake?
Kids: YES!
Mr. Crossman: Good. Now, to any of you going canoeing, remember not to go past the buoy line. Otherwise, you'll get lost, and be too far away from the dock. Understand?
Kids: Yes, Mr. Crossman.
Mr. Crossman: Very good. Now, for those of you are just going canoeing, and not snorkeling, grab a life-jacket. Unless, you're going canoeing and snorkeling.
Some of the kids, Amaya included, go to the rack with the life-jackets, while the other kids, Connor and Greg included, waited at the dock.
Connor: Ok. First; I'll go canoeing with Amaya. And, then; I'll be snorkeling with you. Ok, Greg?
Greg: Alright.
Greg puts on his goggles and snorkel, and goes into the lake. Connor then hears a voice coming from somewhere.
Voice: (whispers) Connor…
Connor: Huh?
He looks behind himself, and sees all the other kids coming down to the dock. So, he shrugs it off.
Connor: Must've been nothing.
Amaya: (approaching him) Ready, Connor?
Connor: I guess so.
He takes his goggles and snorkel, and they go into one of the canoes
Amaya: Remember to paddle at the same pace as me.
Connor: Ok.
They pick up their oars, and paddle with each other out on the lake.
Amaya: So, what do you think so far?
Connor: It's pretty good… And, it's kind of relaxing, too.
Amaya: And, the scenery is really pretty. Isn't it?
Connor: Yeah. It is… (whispers dreamily) Like you.
She smiles a bit, until she realizes what he said.
Amaya: Wait. What?
Connor: (blushes) Oh. Uh… Nothing. Just mumbling to myself. (little laugh)…
Amaya: (confused) Ok.
He mentally slapped himself after that, and then; he hears a bubbling sound. He looks down on his right, and sees the water bubbling.
Connor: Hmm…
He, then, hears the voice again.
Voice: (teasingly whispers) Connor…
Connor: Huh?
Voice: (teasingly whispers) Connor…
Connor: There it is again.
Amaya: What's going on?
Connor: Nothing.
She shrugs it off, and they keep paddling.
Connor: (whispers to himself) Guess it was my imagination.
They spot Greg coming up in the water, and they stop.
Greg: Hey, Connor; ready to try some snorkeling?
Connor: Ok.
Amaya: Have fun.
He puts on his goggles and snorkel, and goes into the lake.
Greg: So, how is it?
Connor: So far, it's okay… I guess.
Voice: (teasingly whispers) Connor…
Connor: Huh? Again?
Voice: (eerily whispering) This is oh-so, very real…
He starts feeling a bit uncomfortable.
Greg: Is something wrong?
Connor: Uh… I don't think so.
Greg: Ok, then. Let's dive underwater.
Connor: Alright.
They put their snorkels back on, and they dive into the water.
Voice: (teasingly whispers) Cooonnnnnorr…
Once he heard the voice again, he started to freak out. How could someone be talking to him while he was underwater?
Voice: (eerily whispers) Be. Prepared… To. Be. SCAAAREED… (laughs)!
These big glowing eyes were staring at him. They were glowing so bright, the light showed the silhouette of what was staring at him. It was enormous! Connor was so scared, he didn't notice something coming out from an unknown place, and snatching his wristband. The huge thing that was staring at him started moving, and he swam back up to the surface.
Connor: Guys, I think we should get out of the lake.
Amaya: But, we just got in.
Connor: I know. But, I saw something down-
Before he could continue, something pulls him down, and everybody saw it.
Everyone: (gasps)!
Both his friends: Connor!
He comes back up.
Connor: (struggling) HELP!
He gets pulled back down.
Mr. Crossman: Everybody, out of the lake! Now!
They all do what he says, and he dives into the water.
Greg: (worriedly) Oh. What's happening down there? …
Amaya: (worriedly) Connor, please be alright.
Eleven seconds after; Mr. Crossman comes back up to the surface with Connor in his arms, and swims back to the dock.
Connor: (coughing)! …
Mr. Crossman: Take it easy there, lad.
Amaya and Greg go up to him.
Amaya: Connor! (exhales)! Thank goodness you made it!
Greg: Are you okay?
Connor: (coughs). Yeah. (coughs). I'm fine. Thank you, Mr. Crossman.
Mr. Crossman: You're welcome.
Ms. Zane: I think that we should stay away from this lake for a while.
Everyone else: Agreed.
Ms. Zane: Alright, children. Let's go.
All the kids leave with Ms. Zane.
Amaya: What happened back there, Connor?
Connor: I don't know. I heard someone talking to me. And, while I was underwater, I saw something staring at me. It was huge. But, I don't know what pulled me down.
Greg: Let's just be glad that whatever it was that happened is over.
Connor: Definitely.
While they were heading back to camp, Connor started thinking about his recent experience.
That's the end of this chapter. The next victim was Connor. Poor Connor. He heard a voice, saw some big creature under the water, and got pulled into the lake. I figured this would make sense because of his fear of water. I know what some of you are thinking: " Was that the same voice that Greg heard in the other chapter?", and " Was that the same thing that took Greg's wristband?". The answer to both those questions: Yes. And, spoiler alert: Amaya is going to hear the same voice during her experience, and that same thing is going to take her wristband, too. Same voice, same snatcher, but a different thing happening. Sorry for spoiling it. Now, I came back this month because, it's kind of a scary story, and October is the month of scary things. Anyway; give me the details of what you guys thought of this chapter in your reviews. I'll be back a little bit later. I'm still writing this story, and it's going to take a while for me to finish. I'll see you all later.
