"Alright." the counselors announce together. "Since no one will volunteer to tell a story for the night. We will tells one. This is a hiking story.

A guy's going on a hiking vacation through the mountains Out West. Before setting off into the boonies, he stops into a small general store to get some supplies.

After picking out the rest of his provisions, he asks the old store owner, "Say, Mister, I'm going hiking up in the mountains, and I was wondering;
do you have any bears around here?"

"Yup," replies the owner.

"What kind?" asks the hiker.

"Well, we got black bears and we got grizzlies," he replies.

"I see," says the hiker. "Do you have any of those bear bells?"

"What do you mean?" asks the store owner.

"You know," replies the hiker, "those little tinkle-bells that people wear in bear country to warn the bears that they are coming, so they don't surprise the bears and get attacked."

"Oh yeah," replies the owner. "They're over there," he says, pointing to a shelf on the other side of the store. The hiker selects a couple of the bells and and takes them to the counter to pay for them.

"Tell me something, Mister," the hiker inquires, "how can you tell when you're in bear territory, anyway?"

"By the scat," the old fellow replies, ringing up the hiker's purchases.

"Well, um, how can I tell if it's grizzly territory or black bear territory?" the hiker asks.

"By the scat," the store owner replies.

"Well, what's the difference?" asks the hiker. "I mean, what's different between grizzly scat and black bear scat?"

"The stuff that's in it," replies the store owner.

Getting a little frustrated, the hiker asks, "OK, so what's in grizzly bear scat that isn't in black bear scat?" he asks, an impatient tone in his voice.

Bear bells, replies the old man as he hands the hiker his purchases."

Cordie Couldn't help it She laughed so hard she fell fell backwards. "Good Golly Miss Molly, Bear bells." She said still giggling. "That's priceless."

Having gathered a few of the mushrooms that he had found, as well as one of the odd red ones just out of curiosity, Kido started to make his way out of the woods. It seemed like it was getting darker, so he thought that it might be a good idea to hurry back. Just how long had he been gone, anyway? Did he miss the rest of the jousting? Aw... he had really wanted to see it, too. Maybe he could still give that present to Kyle. Oh, and there was the thing that he found for Ivy. She would probably still want that. He'd have to get out of the woods and find Aaron first, though. And probably Hex, since he had actually lost track of him as well. He wasn't lost, was he? Should he look for him?

Aaron had searched a good area before he finally sensed Kido's magicka reserves. He ran over to where he could feel its presence. As he got closer to it he couldn't sense Hex though. Did he run off somewhere? One thing at time, he thought as he arrived at Kido's location. "There you are, I've been looking all over for you dude. I think everyone headed over to the campfire or something we should head back soon", as he was speaking Aaron noticed Kido had collected various mushrooms of different colors and sizes. He might have a talent for herbalism, he though before checking around for Hex. "Where's Hex? Did he run off or something?", he asked before he started walking in the direction of the camp.

The smaller boy shrugged. "I'm not sure. He was there at first, but I haven't seen him in a while. Should we go look for him?" He had wondered if the wisp had been distracted by something, perhaps, but maybe he was really lost. He really hoped not; he wouldn't want the little orb to be stuck on its own.

"They belonged to someone close to me...." Luna whispered and looked at the dog tags around her neckTo be honest, she missed Mark so much. Luna sighed, she shouldn't have listened to him when he told her to run. She should have stayed and fought against-...., luna shakes her head as if shaking the memory away. If she didn't like talking about it , she didn't like thinking about it either.

"I truly sorry to hear that, I an tell by the grief in your eyes it's not a good memory, I think we should get back to camp though a lot of things wonder these woods at night." Aiden said pushing himself off te tree and back to his feet.

Luna nodded not trusting her voice, she made the grief in her eyes go away. She didn't like how her eyes do that. That shows to much to other people, and she didn't want anyone knowing about the way she felt about her past. Luna heads back to the direction of the camp, she could see the glowing of the camp fire.

"Lights out in an hour." The counselors called. "We have a busy day tomorrow."

Branch heard the councelors, so he headed straight for his cabin. Once he got to his cabin, he sat on the floor. He was thinking if he should go to the orphanage. 'Get these thoughts out of your head. You have a long day ahead of you tomorrow.' Branch brushed his teeth, got dressed in his pyjamas and went to sleep.

Cordie nodded and stood up, slowly shuffling to her cabin and climbing under the covers. She knew it would be a long, nightmare-filled night.

"Hex should be fine I'm sure we will run into....I'm an idiot", Aaron facepalmed himself as he realized he could have simply banished Hex and summoned him to where he was. "Give me a moment", he said as he held out his hand and began to silently mumble the incantations to himself. One to banish and another to summon, in a moment Hex was floating in the palm of Aaron's hand. "Hey Hex, I told you to stick with Kido. Forget it lets head to camp", he wisp simply floated over to Aaron's shoulder as he began to walk in the direction of camp. "Hey Kido, hold onto those ingredients. Tomorrow when we have time I'll show you how to use them", He said "For now I think it's time I got some sleep.

"Welcome back, Hex! Where did you go?" Kido smiled as the little orb reappeared before turning back to the other boy. "Okay." He nodded as he started to follow Aaron back. "Did they already finish at the campfire? I wonder what the story was tonight."

The bell rang calling all teens to breakfast

The bell rang to an already awake Dante. He didn't sleep that whole night, instead he stayed awake translating every last word of that infernal notebook until he had completed it in its entirety just as the morning bell rang. It's sudden ring caused him to jump in surprise and release him from some form of a zombified state. "I-I did it....but this..thus is bad", he nervously muttered to himself. "I've got to show Roxy. We-we need to plan!",that was the first thing he said out loud and once the words left his lips he instantly covered his mouth. If Isabella is near...got to be silent

Roxy woke with a start. She had had a rough night. Part of her was tempted just to stay in her cabin, but she knew that doing so would only cause people to ask questions she wasnt ready to answer. She wondered what the chances were that she could avoid Dante and Eren all day. Probably not very good. She got dressed.

Branch heard the bell. He got up. 'Some night that was, I guess I now have to head towards breakfast.' He got dressed, into jis regular wear and exited the Cabin. He walked to the Breakfast hall. Once there he ggrabbed something to eat at random, not caring what it was. He sat down and began to eat.

Kyle woke at the sound if the bell. He quickly hit dressed. He was eager to get to today's activities. He wondered what they would do. They had covered alot of activities already. It didnt matter what they did as long as they kept Ivy busy.

Kido woke up still feeling a bit dazed. But he got the key. He wouldn't have to watch...wait. Where was he?
Confused, he sat up and looked around his cabin before he remembered that he was still at camp. Hugging Palo tightly, he thought back to where he just thought he had been before it started fading from his memory.

Shaking his head to clear it again, he looked over to see if his cabin mate was awake. "Aaron? I think it's time to go to breakfast." Mm...his voice sounded a little strange...he cleared his throat and tried again. "Aaron? Are you awake?"

Ivy bounced out of her cabin. Today she wear a yellow tank tip which blu jean shorts. She was excited about a new day starting. She loved new days. Anything could happen today. She bounced her way down the path towards the dinning room.
