Hello, everyone! Hopefully, you guys liked the previous chapter. I decided to follow some of your suggestions on getting a beta. My fabulous beta, Kelsey (aka Xx-Twitch-xX) helped me tonnes when I wrote this chapter and the main reason it's free from spelling errors and whatnot, is because of her. Seriously, she's amazing!
Anyways. Sorry for the long wait (again). Here's the second chapter!
You know what's worse than waking up in the early morning? Waking up in the middle of the night with a random girl shaking your shoulders, telling you to get up. Seriously, people. Who does this? Satan, that's who.
I was just about to tell Satan to go away when she started rocking my shoulders back and forth again. ''Come on! Look, I don't know your name, but please wake up!''
''Loosen up on her. It's not like she has to come anyway.''
Yeah, listen to her, Satan. Please.
''Humph, I don't care what you think. It's her first night. And besides, we need more girls. She's not going to miss this. ''
''Yes, I am,'' I mumbled, still half-asleep. I shoved the hands grabbing my shoulders away and turned into my pillow. Before the annoying hands could grab my blanket away, I cocooned myself into them.
''Yay, I knew you were awake. Come on! You'll love it!''
''Please, for the love of God, go away.''
''I will if you get out of bed,'' the girl whined. What was her problem? It was 3 a.m. for Christ's sake! If this was some crazy camp prank on the new girl, I would break all their necks. After I got some sleep.
Suddenly, there was a loud knock on the door. Nobody had time to answer it before the knocker came in. I frowned and looked up from my pillow.
The guy- I'm assuming it was a guy- stood silhouetted again the bright moonlight outside. My bed was closest to the door, so I could easily see his tousled hair that stood up in all directions. It had a slight reddish tint to it. His hands were theatrically placed on his hips and he looked around impatiently. They settled on one of my cabin mates- the girl with the wild brown hair, who I'm guessing was Satan.
''Nudge, are you three ready or not? We've almost started.''
''Uh, almost. Just getting our new cabin mate ready,'' she replied, gesturing to me.
The guy's eyes then landed on me. He raised one eyebrow and took in my pajamas. ''She is not ready. Either you spend an hour getting her out of bed or I take her along with me right now.''
Take me along?
Before I could protest, the guy marched up to my bed, scooped me up like a kitten and threw me over his shoulder. I'll admit- that took me completely off-guard. He began to walk out my cabin door and the last thing I saw were my stunned cabin mates' faces. When I realized that this guy was actually taking me away from my comfy little bed, I started to kick. And punch. And scream.
To my horror, he simply chuckled at my efforts. ''You know, this would be a lot easier if you'd quit all that.''
''Who are you?! Let go of me, you little f-!''
''Tsk, tsk. No swearing in camp.''
I tried to glare at him, but it was hard to do that when I couldn't even see his face. I resorted to hitting my fists against his back, but he barely noticed. ''You know what else is against camp rules? Capturing people in the middle of the night and not even telling them where they're headed to.''
''You wanna know where it is we're going?''
Although he couldn't see me roll my eyes and nod, he replied, ''Sorry, hun. Can't ruin the surprise. 'Specially since it's your first night.''
''Has it occurred to you that I don't want to go wherever you're taking me?'' I seethed. He was walking on the camp's hill now. If I turned a bit, I could see the start of the woods. Where was I going? Were they going to sacrifice me or something?
''Whatever. You deserve some fun, new girl.''
Fun. Because getting kidnapped in the middle of the night is so fun. Seriously, who the hell was this guy? Since it was obvious he wasn't going to let me go, I distracted myself by thinking of ways I could kill him.
We entered the camp's dense woods. I glanced around, hoping some wolf or fox would come and eat me up to spare me this embarrassment. All I got were distinct owl hooting noises and the frosty air. Despite my efforts, I started to shiver from the cold. Damn, it was definitely the wrong night to wear pajama shorts.
''You cold?''
I ignored him.
''Look, I'm sorry, alright? You can change into something else when we get there.''
Acting on boldness, I reached out and gave him the finger, wagging it in front of his face. I felt like a little kid, but I didn't care.
''Cut that out,'' he said, pausing to push my hand away.
''I will if you take me back to my cabin.''
''Too bad. We're already here.''
I struggled to face whatever he was looking at. From what I could see, it was a clearing. I thought I saw some water glistening near us. Great, he was going to throw me in the lake. I immediately started kicking his stomach and screaming at him to put me down.
''Ig, just let her go,'' a low voice shouted from some place to my left. I didn't pause to see who it was.
''Let go of me, you idiot! I swear-''
He sighed and placed his hands on my waist, ready to put me down. Finally. ''Alright, alright. But, you're not gonna run off and get lost, are you?''
''No!''
I just about started kissing the ground when he placed me down.
''Uh, yeah. I'll be over there if you need me,'' he said, giving me a weird look and pointing to where a bunch of boxes with beer cans in them stood.
I resisted flipping him the bird again and nodded. If I was going to escape, I needed to pretend I wasn't going nuts.
I stood, dusting off my knees and realizing there were a bunch of other people here. Straightening, I squinted and looked around me. They all looked about my age. Most of them had beer cans in their hands and the guys had their arms slung around the girls' shoulders and waists. One couple was making out against a tree trunk.
I was right about there being a lake. It was small and some people were splashing around in it and laughing. They all seemed to be pretty occupied. Maybe I could just turn around and leave- nobody would notice. I braced myself for my kidnapper to come back and chew me out for trying to leave, but he was sitting on a tree stump, a bit far off and talking to some kid.
Feeling like the world's best runaway, I bluntly turned towards the woods. All of a sudden, I felt someone's eyes on me and I heard the same, low voice that had spoken when I got here.
''I wouldn't do that if I were you.''
ooooOOOOOOoooOO wonder who that is?
