Chapter 10

We finally all got in the cars to go camping, twenty minutes later but were going. Sadly the Lincolns are indeed going with us, in which they called a RV, I guess it's a house in a car. Weird but ok, I guess we will be in tents as ray said " no point in going camping if your not sleeping outside" the way everyone talks about camping is got me so looking forward to this. The stuff I heard about ana still got me down but I push it to the back of my mind. We did all kinds of car games on they way to the campsite, the girls won most of the games. I swear they was helping each other but who am I to tell. Three hours later we finally made it to the camp grounds, ana and mia took a nap within the last hour, thank goodness because they was starting to drive me nuts with their whining "are we there yet" geesh they couldn't enjoy the few of the forest. We all started to unload the cars well most of us ana and mia went to the water to throw rocks. Ray asked me to help set up the tents while dad and elliot went to get firewood. An mom was talking to getting dinner set up. I don't know where went but I started helping ray.

I sure love the way the water look, defintly with the sun going down on it. Mia thinks it pretty with all the orange in it. We were just goofing off throwing rocks into the water when showed up asking what we pretty girls doing. Mia just said throwing rocks, trying to see who can throw them the furthest. "Oh and who winning so far" Ana she knows how to skip them so they go farther. " ah well done" I can feel is appreciation, it makes me happy. That's when he asked Mia if she wanted him to show her how, mia happily said yes. As I take a seat on a rock, I can see every little detail of how linc is handling Mia,its kind of weird because daddy didn't show me like that, their was less touching. I can tell mia looked uncomfortable so I said maybe we should get back to camp, Mia Agreed instantly. "ok girls ill show you next time" bye Mr. Lincoln. Mia went on and on all the way back to camp about how creepy mister lincoln was. I didn't know what to think, he doesn't do that with me. Hmmm. When we get to camp everything was all set up " there you are annie, I was just about to come get you, dinner is ready" we all gathered around the campfire an ate, then we did marshmello and told scary stories. That was my favorite part all the stories. When it came to bedtime though I was scared. Everyone was sleeping so I got out of my tent with my blanket and went to chriws tent. He about freaked out when I just crawled in. "What you doing ana, u scared me" I was scared and didn't want to sleep alone. "ohhh ok" can I sleep with you? " of coarse ana, ill keep you safe" thanks Christian.

Christian? She said my actual name. She was laying beside, an I thought of how little she is, she don't look five since she so small. I really got to protect her and Mia. But how am I going to do that if she ends up leaving? I really hope ray keeps his word about ana not going anywhere. Just the thought almost makes me stop breathing. That's when I hear ana say your ok in her sleep, and everything was really ok. I fell asleep sometime last night and didn't wake up until I heard shouting for Ana, who was still sound asleep. So I crawled out of my tent and asked whats wrong and Ray frantically said annie is missing. Odd I said no she not, ray looked at me and said what you mean boy. She in there. "what she doing in there?" I felt like I was in trouble for some reason. I I.. I " Christian your fine honey, he just wants to know" she said she was scared and asked to sleep in there. " ok christian but its not appropriate for a boy an girl to share a tent" ohh I didn't know " its ok what we will do is put your guys tents close together and unzip the windows that should do it" shew I thought I was in trouble for something. "ill be having a talk with annie about just getting up and disappearing though." "who disappeared daddy" innocent little Anastasia, everyone chuckled. An just like that all was forgotten. Ray did end up moving the tents liked he said and ana was thrilled "its like living together!" "ok everyone who all wants to go on a hike?" everyone said I except ana, she didn't want to wear those boots. "oh come on annie its just for a little bit" " no daddy they make it harder to walk" " I can stay with her ray" uh oh not Linc why would he want to go " I got work to do anyway" well that answers that " see daddy so can I stay" ray sighed and let ana have her way, I didn't want to leave her by herself but I already said yes to hiking.

Ahh alone at last, elena was driving me nuts with all her whining about the bugs, I kept telling her you wanted to be here. Ana is playing outside while I make arrangements for her mother to get custody of her, I figured it was in my best interest to get her away from everyone here. I got it all finalized and sent it. Tomorrow morning they will be showing up for little miss ana. Since I gave her mother enough money to get situated. Then ana came in "uncle linc" what the hell, ive never been called that before. "Uncle linc, you want to go skip rocks with me?" im still speechless that she called me uncle out of all things. An that's when it hit me, I don't want anything to do with her like that, that I couldn't imagine hurting her, that honestly I should just keep to woman who already know what their doing, like my so called wife. Then it hit me, I just gave her to her mother…..Shit

The hike went well, it was great. I love the outdoors, all the animals and the quiet, well besides Mia complaining that this walk was taking forever, girls. I forgot about everything being out there, it was like a calmness took over me like everything was gonna be okay. When we got to the camp, I could see ana and mr linc down at the lake throwing rocks. Something seemed different about unlike Mrs. Lincoln who stared at me the whole hike. Ana came back up to the camp once she realized we were back. "hi daddy, me and uncle linc through rocks the whole time, we even had a comp a competition" uncle linc? What happened while we was gone? Even had a weird face expression on her face. " You did honey that's great, you want to help me gets some wood for the fire" Ray seemed okay with this uncle lincoln stuff, hmm maybe that's what looked different with him.. I don't know
