It was supposed to be fun. A celebration for finally graduating High school. Just a week. A camping trip with my three best friends. Just some good fun. None of us could have ever expected this to happen. It all started when Jenna, my red headed BFF decided to drag us all on a trip to this Camp Ground, called Sherry Woods.
Last Week
"Hey, Kara!" I turn around to see Jenna running towards me. "Since we graduate from this hell hole tomorrow, we are all going camping for a week."
"We?" I asked.
"Yeah you, me, Alex, and Nat." She smiles.
"And those two know about this, right?" I asked her suspiciously.
She continued to smile, but now you could see a bit of mischief in her eyes, "Well, they don't know they are coming, yet."
"Then how do you know that they are coming?" She just smirked, and I sigh. I honestly don't know how she does it, but she always gets her way. I guess I'm going camping.
The next day
It was just after the ceremony and we were changing into some more comfy clothes for the drive. I had my brown hair in a messy bun and was dressed in a green 'Save the Earth' T-shirt that I stole from my younger sister, and gray sweats. Once changed we headed to the parking lot.
Jenna was in a Black tank top, and blue sweats, her short red hair ways pulled back by a dark blue headband. Alex was wearing a 'Sleeping with Sirens' T-shirt, and some black track shorts. Her long black hair was pulled back into a high ponytail. Nat was wearing a pink shirt, and a knee length white skirt. her medium length light brown hair were in two braids. I still, don't understand how Jenna convinced her to come. She isn't much of a nature person. We put all piled into Jenna's white convertible and drove off.
We had been driving for about 4 hours and were almost there. We were driving in through the middle of the woods. Nat was asleep in the back seat, and Alex was next to her looking out the windows with headphones on. I looked up at the sky and frowned, rainclouds were beginning to roll in. That's weird, the forecast didn't say anything about rain.
"Hey, Jenna, put the hood up. It looks like it might rain." I nudged her shoulder a bit to get her attention. She looked up at the sky and frowned as well. She pressed a button and the hood went up.A few minutes later it began to sprinkle so we all wound up our windows. By now Nat had decided to wake up.
"hey, what's up with the rain, the forecast didn't say anything about rain?" Nat questioned concerned.
"Don't know, let's hope that it stops soon." She answered. But it didn't within the next thirty minutes it had gone from sprinkling to a full on storm. What was worse is that about an hour ago the road had turned into a dirt one. So here we are now driving on a dirt now mud road crossing our fingers that we don't get stuck. Thunder and lightning crashed through the sky. We continued to drive for about 5 more minutes when suddenly the car's front wheels sunk into a large puddle of mud. Jenna hit the accelerator in an attempt to push through the mud, but it was no use.
With a sigh she turned to me, "We need to get out and push." We all sighed unhappily, but agreed. We all piled out of the car and were met by ice cold rain. I tugged on the sleeves of my T-shirt trying, and unsuccessful to get more coverage. The freezing rain bit at our skin as we all pushed at the back of the car. Nat slipped and got covered in mud. She shrieked and quickly tried to wipe it off of her. We continued trying for what seemed like about an hour. We were covered in mud, soaked to the bone, and freezing.
"I-It's no u-use." I shivered.
"M-maybe w-we s-should w-walk down the r-road a b-bit more. W-We can't b-be to f-far from the c-camp g-g-grounds now." Jenna stutters as she rubs her arms in an attempt to get warmer. We all nodded and slowly walked down the road looking for any signs of life. As we walked my foot got stuck in the mud.
"G-Guys I-I'm stuck." I called. They turned around and Alex grabbed one of my arms while Jenna grabbed the other and they pulled me out. I lost a shoe. Great. I turned back to grab my shoe to see that it had sunk to far in the mud. I'd have to come back to get it later when the rain stopped. I sighed and we continued moving until a big bolt of lighting flashed behind the hill we were walking next to and saw something. We all looked up the large hill to see a cabin. It looked old and abandoned, but anything beats the rain. With the same thought in mind we started to walk up the hill. The trees not doing anything to stop the rain. It felt like we had been walking for an eternity, when in reality it had probably only been about 15 minutes. When we got to the porch of the cabin, Nat knocked on the door.
