I didn’t get much sleep. On one of the walls of my dorm there is a clock, I decided to wait until it was at least 6 to grab one of my towels, clothes and toiletries, to head out and take a shower. Everyone one else was still sleeping, faint snores came from them as I tiptoed out of the room. There were two bathrooms and two shower rooms, girls and boys. I slipped into the girls, had a cold shower as that was the only option. But I welcomed the coolness. It woke me up, and almost made me forget my recurring nightmare I kept on having last night, of me being naked in a room full of men, who kept touching me. I would scream and scream at them in the dream until someone came up behind me and pulled me away from them back to safety, I didn’t know who it was.
I stepped out of the shower stall, and dried myself with my towel and put on a shirt and jeans, with some boots. I normally never put my hair up, unless I am really warm, but looking at myself in the mirror I grabbed my damp hair and twisted it into two braids. I put my pjs on my bed and my toiletries. It was 7, and the girl that I shared a bunk bed with stirred and opened her eyes.
“Hey,” She yawned, and rubbed her eyes.
“Hi.” I said going down from my bed and on to the ground, in front of her.
She sat up. “It’s nice to meet you,” She blinked, and she looked awake, ready to start the day, “I’m Megan, but you can call me Maggie or Meg, I don’t really care.” She laughed softly, and put her hand out for me to shake.
I took a step forward and shook her hand, “I’m Lily, and nice to meet you to.” I smiled at her. She was beautiful, or at least as pretty as someone could be when they just wake up. She was a natural pretty, she had cheekbones to die for, her eyes looked to be a dark brown and she had long dark hair that covered her back, and nice natural tan.
“So I see that you have been up for a bit,” she gestures to me.
“Yeah, I didn’t sleep well.”
“Come here,” she pats a bit of her bed next to her.
I walk forward and sit beside her on the bed, she rearranges herself so she is sitting looking into my eyes.
“You kept on having a nightmare, right?” She asks me.
“Yeah, how did you…”
“You kept calling out, ‘get away from me.’” Oh crap. I didn’t know I talked in my sleep.
“I’m really sorry,” I say to her, “I guess I kept on waking you up, was it loud?” Ok now I’m really worried if I kept on waking everyone up.
“Not really, it was more like a whisper, but I’m just a really light sleeper.” She smiles. “Do you remember what it was about?” She asks.
“People kept grabbing at me, and I had nowhere to run to, but then there was always someone who pulled me back to safety. Then it went on and on again.”
“Well that sucks, sorry.” She says.
The light in the room snaps on. I look over to the light switch that is just beside the closed door. A girl stands there, she looks to be in a bad mood. As her face is tight in an annoyed expression, her hair has been dyed pink, and she has cut most of it off.
“Look,” she says, looking at me from across the room, “everyone here does not want to hear about your boring dream, so how about you shut up and we can get ready.” She pushes herself away from the wall, and goes over to her bed. Which is right by the door.
“That’s Randy, she’s just a bottle of sunshine, right?” Megan whispers in my ear, and laughs. She gets up from her bed and I follow.

“Welcome, everyone to the 2015 summer session at Camp Wilderness.” Alex’s mum says to everyone. “My name is Isabel, the camp director. As you can see there is four members of staff in front of me. That is because you will all split up into four teams of 10, and each of your team leaders already have their registers of who will be going will them. So don’t get too excited.” Everyone laughs at this.
We are in the room that is across from the dinner hall, so it is just as big if not bigger than the dinner hall. It is mostly empty beside the big unlit fireplace, and the fact that everyone is cramped in here. We came in here once we were done with breakfast. Megan stands beside me, this is her second year coming here. Aaron stands over at the other end of the room, beside the boy with the blue hair again.
“Now, if you can all listen for your name, when you hear it please make your way to the member of staff who called it.” Isabel says then points to one of the guys that has a clipboard in front of him.
“Hello everyone,” he says, he has a very deep voice, “my name is Ben, ok lets get to my team.” He starts to call out names, a mix of boys and girls, until he reaches a number of ten that stand around him.
“Thanks Ben,” Isabel says and steps forward, “Now everyone he called out follow him out as he will led you to your first activity.” Ben moves and his team follows him. There are less people now. “Ok now on to the next group.”
This time it’s a woman, called Sally. She then goes on to get her ten people and they follow her out. The next is also a woman, called Ruby, she calls out Dan's name, Randy’s and Aaron’s, along with 7 others. When they walk out I smile once I get Aarons eye, he smiles back, but once he looks over at Dan’s smirking face he shoots daggers at him. When the door closes, there is only nine of us left, and one final group leader walks forward.
“As you can guess you are all with me,” he says, “how lucky for you,” he smiles at us. “My name is Finn, just to make sure you are all with me I will call out the names I have.” He calls out Megans name, mine, Alex’s -who is not here-, and everyone else in the room.
“Wait, Finn there are only nine of us here how do you have ten names,” a boy asks, he pushes his glasses up his face.
“That is because,” Finn says, “Alex will be with us, he is not here right now, but will join us soon, now if you follow me.”

“Right hold your bow up, with your writing hand on the string and the other on the wood part, and pull back and release.” Finn says in front of us.
For some reason we are starting with archery, here's the thing I’ve always wanted to do archery, but right away? We are in one of the fields that is a bit away from the house and we are standing in a line, holding bows. Right now without arrows, Finn wants us to feel the power of the bow. There are targets behind Finn, and Alex still has not shown up.
“Ok, do that for another bit then I will give each of you a few arrows,” he walks over to the bag that contains them, he holds one up, “and we are starting with the dummy ones, so where the sharp point would be has a suction end instead.” A few people moan.
I put my bow up again and focus, the way Finn told us to, and aim at one of the targets. Just as I release the string I feel two fingers go into my sides and they make a buzzing noise. I jump up and yell out. When I jump around I am met with blonde hair and blue eyes that glow in the sun light.
“Alex!” I say and try to slap him, but he moves back out of my reach. “Don’t do that.” He laughs, and I can’t help myself, I laugh too.
“Sorry, Lily,” He breaths in, “it was just too tempting.” I shake my head at him, while smiling. “You were just too focused, so someone had to shake you back to the real world.”
“Alex,” Finn comes over, “good to see you, now if you would like to grab a bow and if everyone can also get 5 arrows please.” Everyone moves over to the bag and gets arrows. When everyone was back, this time trying to get the arrow on the target, Alex pulls me back, and he takes his time getting his arrows.
Suddenly his face drops from sunshine to a stormy expression. “Aaron told me,” he whispers in my ear, my body clicks together, and I am unable to move. “Lily, if he even looks at you again,” he looks deep into my eyes so I know that he means it, “I swear, that will be the last thing he does.” His face is so tight.
“I know, and if he does, then you will have to get in line, for I will be in there first.” I say seriously to him.
“Nobody gets to treat women like dirt, not while I’m here.” he grabs his arrows and we both go in line with everyone else.
I hold up the bow with the arrow, aim and shoot, the arrow flies, until it reaches the middle of the target. Wow, ok now I feel like Legolas, all I need now is long straight white blonde hair, pointed ears and I will be the spitting image of him. But however, my ego goes up to much as with my next one I completely miss the target, and over shoot it. Alex, on the other hand, gets every one of his on the target, three of them in the middle, the other two are close to ok. Damm growing up here, does he know how to do everything?
