Ana looked to where there was some commotion. A few people were looking into the woods, one girl pointing at something. Ana mad her way to the smaller group of people to see what the deal was.
Ben looked around at the campsite. It was mostly clean but some trash was littered around the trees. He heard some commotion but payed no attention as he got out a small tent that he was carrying and started to fix it up for the site. " Aren't you guys going to put up your tents?" He said to the group while fixing his tent for the night.
Caroline dismissed the commotion and followed Ben to the camp site where she rummaged through her bags for the small make-shift tent that would unfold, and fold back up for transportation. However, she simply couldn't find it. "Damn it," she cursed under her breath. Had she really forgotten to pack her tent? She could have sworn she did, she even bought the tent specifically for this event.
Ana dismissed the commotion as well. She couldn't see anything. It was probably a raccoon or something anyways. She moved towards the center of the camp and began putting her tent together. She heard another girl curse. She looked up at the girl. "Everything okay?"
"It seems I somehow misplaced my tent," Caroline released a chuckle of disbelief. She continued to rummage through her bags until she realized that her blankets were the same color as the tent. She must have thought she packed both when she really only packed one. Luckily, she had brought some rain tarp. "I have this rain tarp though..." she said, glad to at least have something. "I guess I could throw it over a low tree branch and make a tent out of it.
" Do you need...help?" Ben said with some hesitation. He had always been nervous around people he found pretty and always acted strange around them.
Meanwhile the Horror was on the other side of the lake scooting around the woods trying to find food for its endless hunger. It heard noise from the other side of the lake and preceded to make its way to the noise not by flying over the lake but by going around the edge hoping to find some food on the way.
Caroline smiled politely at the girl and thanked her, "thank you, I could really use them. Also, I'm Caroline," she introduced herself, realizing she didn't know this girls name.
She laughed lightly at Ben's kind gesture. "i'm not sure theres any help you can give me."
"I'm Ana." Ana handed Caroline a few blankets. "I'm a bit of a freeze-baby so I always pack extra blankets." She looked at the guy Caroline had talked to. "And who are you?"
Gretchen noticed the others were pitching their tents, so she followed their lead, unfolding her tent and began to set it up. It was a large tent for two or more people. She turned to Caroline. "If you want to, you can sleep in my tent. It's big and very roomy."
" I am Ben." He said to the other girl quickly. He heard a faint buzzing from a distance but thought maybe it was his ears playing tricks on him. " I am going to start a campfire its a little cold out here." He said walking to the middle of the campground to the fire pit. "Can someone get me some wood? Please." He said to the group.
"Are you sure there's enough room?" Caroline asked Gretchen. She was very honored by her offer but felt it would just be better if she stayed in her make shift tent if they were going to be crunched for space. Plus, she didn't want to impose on Gretchen.
Gretchen nodded at Caroline. "It's fine. My whole family fits in here. And I have 4 siblings! We can both have our own little place to sit and relax as well. You're not bothering me by asking." she finally got her heavy bag and tossed on the ground.

"Mmm? Oh yeah, sure!" Gretchen dug through her bag and picked up the bag the tent was in, along with the stakes she needed to put it firmly into the ground. She turned back to Caroline. "What you want to do? Set up the tent or put the stakes in?"

"I'll just put in the stakes," Caroline offered. Seeing as she only put up a tent once before, she would let Gretchen do the more experienced work. Caroline then proceeded to take the stakes out of the bag and places them firmly in the ground. Like stated before, Caroline wasn't much of an outdoor's person, so this was a fairly obscure task for her.
In a short while, Gretchen put up the tent, smoothing out any and all wrinkles while tying the supports to each stake. She then set a rain tarp on top, just in case it happened to start pouring.
