on the main road leading in and out of Red Lake, a low, soft rumbling sound would be heard by those on the sidewalk. Red Lake was a small Community, there wasn't much that didn't go on there, that eventually by the end of the day if everyone in town didn't know, then you were lucky. and right now most were curious to know what the sound was, mainly those curious ones that took it upon themselves to be nosey, about everyone and everything. Riding up the road, going at a good speed for the Rider, but more then likely way to fast for those around came a Sleek, Black Motorcycle sped forward, its Rider decked out in black pants, boots and jacket, the Helmet he wore concealed his face completely, so no one would have any idea as the Rider and Bike flew on by. Townies gawking in shock and awe.. for about a moment and then out came the phones and the fingers went a flying as the texts began about some maniac driving through the road going way to fast, on a Motorcycle of all things.

Hitting the first stop sign, he slowed down, hitting his turn signal even as he checked, before pulling out.. the bike idled gently, sounding like a purring cat, but once the throttle was hit, it revved to sound more like a toy remote car, but it was far from that as it took off down the road now, gaining speed quick. on the back, strapped down on the cone was a duffel bag, Military Green.. everything he owned, inside that bag and carrying him through his old town. he'd not been home in six years, and really the place didn't look like it changed..at all. well, except for one thing. he zigged and zagged through the streets, maintaining the proper speed limit, so as not to bring out the local Barney Fifes or anything like that he came to a stop at the local cemetery, and being respectful, he found where he needed to go, and then drove up in the walking path, never once driving over a grave he stopped at a semi freshly disturbed one. he shut the bike off, kicked out his kick stand and dismounted, leaning the bike over in the process. unstrapping his helmet, pulling it off the Rider of the 'Death Trap' turned out to be none other then Kade Graham. steel blue eyes, his hair Military Crew Cut, but it was growing back out. his chin and cheeks held light spraying of stubble, having not shaved in a couple days. he sat the helmet on the seat before he moved forward, and knelt at the foot of the grave, which was stuffed between two others. "Grams" he closed his eyes a moment. once he got back state side, he'd heard the news, his grandmother had passed away. his last living relative that he knew of and she was gone. "im sorry i wasn't here in the end, i wish i could go back and been there for you" he smirked. "even if you were glad i was over there 'kicking Terror's ass' as you liked to put it when i could call" removing his glove from his left hand he placed it on the grave, closing his eyes. "im going to miss you Grams.. a lot" clearing his throat he rose and moved up between them, to the headstone on the right of her, he leaned down kissing the top of it. "Pops, looking good" his grandfather, who'd passed away five years after Gabe had came to live with them. he then went to the other two on his grandmother's left. "mom, Dad" kissing the top of each headstone as well. "i'll be around a lot more" giving one last look, he nodded, and moved back to his bike, pulling his glove back on, then slipping the helmet on, he started the Motorcycle, and slowly backed it back down the walking path, looking over his shoulder the whole time til he hit the street, and then he turned around and headed away.

Driving back through these streets again, it brought back a lot of memories.. some bad, most good though.. he had a good life here, and to be honest he wouldnt have changed it for anything.. he learned a lot of things from his grandmother and his Pops. he just hadnt been one of those to stay here, he wanted to get out of Red Lake, explore the world and the Marines had offered that in spades, and he'd joined up right after graduation, and for Six years that what he did.. he became part of "the few, the proud" and well the last year, had been something that not even the Marines could train someone for, which is partly of why he was back home now. he came to a stop light.. one of few in the small town and waited for it to turn green. he leaned back, straightening his back as he turned his head, looking toward some kids out crusing and he smirked, remembering when he was right there with them, though he wasnt crazy enough to try intimidating a guy on the fastest production bike they make. the 2015 Suzuki Hayabusa GSX1300R had held that title since the year 2009.
but these kids thought they were something, revving the car up beside him he turned forward and leaned backdown.. he had a straight shot toward the B&B, wanting to let Sarah and his Husband know and see if they could help me out with his grandmothers house.. well technically his house now.. mainly he wanted to see if they'd head to get some groceries.. he didn't know if Pop's old truck still drove or now and carrying food on a Motorcycle wasn't easy. he revved his bike up, sending the RPM's spiking upward fast as he held the clutch in and shifted down to first, waiting. his eyes narrowed behind the visor on his helmet.. and the moment that light turned green he gunned it, releasing the clutch and the front of the motorcycle shot straight up as it took off forward, Wheeling for about twenty feet til he dropped it down and blew the little punks in the dust.. hitting eighty in no time as he flew down the road. the speedometer hitting a hundred before he saw the B&B coming up, that he slowed down, laughing inside the helmet the whole time as he pulled up into the drive just as he saw people coming out the front door. still chuckling he waited, watching as the kids drove by in their car. "serves their young asses right" he said as he shut the bike off, taking the keys and climbing up as he made the climb up the porch and opened the door, though the ringing bell was new since the last time he was here, he walked in and moved around and looked into the kitchen, seeing Sarah, her Husband Seth and the back of someone else, though he wasn't sure.. probably another guest.

he had to look odd, standing there, in black jeans, boots, a black leather jacket and helmet with a gold symbol painting on the front and sides, he didn't even raise his Visor, he kinda wanted to see what they'd do.

Cassandra listened as Reily spoke, not saying anything yet. She got distracted counting how many of them were there, and decided she was glad she had a tent. She could offer space to someone else, as well, and wondered if anyone would take her up on it. She looked back to Reily and smiled, "fake blood? Well, sounds...interesting. I can do it, if you want" she said, willing to do it for her friend. "I have some clothes that I don't mind getting stained" it was actually what she'd consider her swim gear but that didn't matter. Shirt and shorts, it would work. Odd swim gear, but Cassie didn't like showing her body much, simply because of the few scars she had gotten in her parents car crash. "Sounds like fun"

Vanessa

Vanessa grinned at the hug that Seth gave her. ''My secret'' she said. She then looked up, hearing a motorcycle going trough town and she closed her eyes. Several years now that she could hear like a dog, really like a dog, but she wasn't used to this yet. She looked at Seth. ''If I am eating dinner here? Well.. I hoped so yeah ánd I would love to help'' she said. She then looked up again, as after some quietness, she heard the motorcycle again. Ugh, those things were loud.. She took out her phone to text Riley: Hey Girl! Wanna set up a major prank with your friends? I believe you guys still do that right? Cause, I am back in town and was thinking about coming over to your camping spot but then, Tomorrow night. You just tell them a big horror story and I'll add some nice effects ;) Xx V. Ps. Hope to hear from you about the idea.

She drank her coffee and then took over the plate that Seth gave her with her most favorite breakfast. Crispy Bacon and a omelet from sugared eggs, fried on both sides. She smiled. ''You still remember.. Oh yeah, I know I know.. I am the only one to enjoy something so weird'' she said and then started to eat. She looked up with the first bite in her mouth as she saw the motorcycle being parked in front of the B&B. A man, around one head taller than her, walked in. Completely dressed in black and her alarm senses started to go off. She breathed in, smelling his sent but she didn't completely recognize it. She heard the little bell and when he was standing still behind her, she was sitting with her back towards him. ''Better take of that helmet or do you want me to take it of for you?'' she asked, she sounded very serious and Kade would probably directly notice whát she was, even before seeing whó she was. She got of the chair and turned around to face the 'Black Man'.

Aaliyah Taplin.

_______________________________________

Aaliyah had not long ago woken up when she was awoken by her alarm clock, She planned to have a bit of time spare to make sure she had everything ready from the night before, She did moan a little when she initially got up smacking the Alarm clock but was excited about today more than ever, Four days with her best group of friends camping in the woods by the lake, she loved going up there often but camping with them all last year was a blast and great fun and she looked forward to seeing Riley and the others away from town and having a great time. The night before Aaliyah had gotten her clothes and supplies ready for the next day ahead, The red head had already spent time relaxing and having a soak in the bath and was currently parading in a around wrapped up in a towel getting ready to change in to her clothes when her phone went of and buzzed on the side notifying her she had a text message. Picking it she smiled when she read it. 'Hey everyone this is Riley, meet up at the school the RV will be waiting for you guys love you all and see you guys very soon! :)'

Letting the towel slide of her body, Aaliyah set out to get dressed grabbing a short off shoulder lace blouse and a pair of Jean shorts. looking at herself in the mirror for a few moments, She gently brushed her hair straightening it out before putting a little touch of mascara and some lip gloss, Aaliyah was never one to overdo it on make up and only did little touch ups pretty much keep her face natural. For breakfast the teen had sausage with pancakes and syrup, Might not be the healthiest thing for her but god did it taste good and everyone was allowed to treat themselves from time to time right? Either way Aaliyah triple checked she had everything packed and ready, Again she would bring her violin with her in case there is a chance to play something while they were up there and this time would bring her fire poi's as she loved using them a lot but never really did a dance with them in front of her friends, There was of course the spare clothing and some other essentials need while out on a camping trip.

Unfortunately for Aaliyah she ended up being late and holding her friends up a little, this was mainly because despite her readiness to get everything packed and made sure it was there, The teen misplaced her dam house keys and lost track how long she had been looking for them, it was not normal for her to do that but every now and again it could happen to the best of us and it had to be on the worst possible day to misplace them, Aaliyah eventually found them and sent a message to Riley 'Hey hun, I am so sorry for holding you and the others up, I lost my house keys if you can believe that! I am on my way :).' Putting her phone away she made her way out and locking the place up. Making her way as quickly as she could walking to the meeting point with a backpack and a small suitcase she could wheel along so not to carry so much in one go on the way to the RV, The redhead finally made it to see everyone already there and waiting and felt bad and a little flustered that she held everyone up. "Hey guy's, I am so sorry!" Aaliyah immediately put her luggage into one of the RV compartments before going over and giving Riley who was talking with Kassey and Cassandra soft hug before giving a hug to the other two. "Thank you for waiting for me." Aaliyah smiled.

Elisha tried not to blush as Carlos rubbed her arm.

Chill out, loser, she thought to herself.

Others began to arrive until Aaliyah was the last to arrive. Elisha was starting to get anxious, her excitement ready to burst from her skin. "Riley?" She called out as she stood in the doorway of the RV, churro still warm in her hand. "Are we chill to leave now?"

Riley Stark

Riley grinned when Cassandra had agreed to play as the bloodied victim for her little prank on the boys though it was mainly aimed towards Carlos for all those times he had pranked her. "Thank you so much Cass, i'll even clean your those clothes because I know that it stains clothes to hell." Riley eyes quickly lit up when she saw Aaliyah finally coming she was starting to think that her friend wouldn't be able to go this year, Riley gave Aaliyah the tightest hug she could give. "I was worried you wouldn't be able to come, and we would have fun with out you." Riley said jokingly, she looked towards Kassey and Cassandra and smiled at the two of them. "If you guys got your stuff packed into the RV we are ready to get going." Riley said with a smile, feeling her pocket vibrate Riley took out her Iphone 6.

"Hey Girl! Wanna set up a major prank with your friends? I believe you guys still do that right? Cause, I am back in town and was thinking about coming over to your camping spot but then, Tomorrow night. You just tell them a big horror story and I'll add some nice effects ;) Xx V. Ps. Hope to hear from you about the idea." Riley smiled even more when she got a text from her friend Vanessa and leaned herself up against the side of the RV. "V! I'm really happy to hear from you, I do have a prank planned for Carlos and the boys up at the campsite we might execute it tonight or tomorrow. But if you are willing to drive up to the lake i'll give you the details in person hope to hear from you soon! :)" Riley hit send slipping her phone back into her pocket before turning around to look up at Elisha and smiled. "Yep, we are ready to go but we are going to stop by TJ's place to drag her with us." Riley smirked as she took out the keys to the RV and climbed inside.

Riley slipped the keys into the ignition and twisted the keys feeling the engine starting to rev to life looking over her shoulder at her friends. "Going to make a quick stop at TJ's place and then we can head up to the campsite." Riley said as she plugged her IPhone into the radio I Like It Heavy started to play over the speakers as Riley started driving down the street which wasn't a very long drive until the RV was parked in the driveway of TJ's house Riley started to honk the horn hoping to get TJ out of the house.

Sarah Stark & Seth Stark

Seth smiled closing up the new cook setting it up against the wall where he could easily look at it some more. "Your taste in food isn't weird Vanessa." Seth said as he started to set some of the dishes into the dishwasher Seth leaned up against the counter looking between his wife and Vanessa. "You are more then welcome to help out, if you want to that is." Seth said, Sarah sighed slightly to herself and stood up smiling at Vanessa. "I really hate to leave you, but I promise we both will hang out later tonight like old times, I have to go to work now." Sarah said walking over towards Seth giving him a loving kiss on the lips and grabbed her purse and headed towards the front door then she pumped into Kade looking completely embarrassed. "Really sorry, enjoy your stay here." Sarah said with a smile not recognizing who was under the biker's helmet.

Seth crossed his arms over his chest looking at looking over towards his new guest. "So what would you care for this morning did you need a room?" Seth asked being professional he looked over towards Vanessa he wasn't even sure why she was so serious about.

Cassandra gave a shrug, "Don't worry about it, they're just close I swim in" She said, making a note to make sure to wear them. She grabbed her things, her camping pack, and her guitar, jumping into the RV, she shoved her pack in a area where it wouldn't be in the way, and secured her guitar. As the RV was loaded up, Cassandra found a spot to sit, and as they began to drive, she looked out the window.

As the music played, she listened to it for a moment, letting herself follow the song, before singing softly to it, having always liked the lyrics. Cassandra enjoyed singing, especially when they meant something to her.

Elisha smiled and turned back to find a spot. Carlos sat in a booth alone, causing a thought to pop into her mind.

Go sit next to him, a voice urged her. Go do it, nerd.

With an erratic heart, Elisha sat down across from Carlos. "Hey," she tried to say casually. She barely avoided not making her voice crack. "You've been one these trips before, right? Can you tell me about them?" She grinned slyly as another question came to her. "Want any help with your pranks? Don't lie, I know you have some planned." Elisha hadn't been the victim of a Carlos prank yet, and she hoped to God that she never would. She decided to try and get on the other end of the pranks.

Kade leaned back just slightly as Sarah ran into him, and he went to say hi but she was moving quickly, apparently in a hurry. he nodded to her welcome, the kindness one he got, as he now faced forward again, staring at Seth but smelling a scent that was instantly recognizable, it was a scent that he himself had coming off him. he was tense instantly, ready to react to anything. he pulled his gloves off, stuffing them into the pockets of his jacket, before he reached up, unfastening the strap of his helmet before he pulled it off. "the last time you and i went at it Nessie, i believe you were eating my dust on the track field back at school" he said. now that he had no helmet on he could smell the wolf coming off Vanessa just like she could smell the wolf scent coming off him. clearly they'd have a lot to talk about.. in private. he sat the helmet down on the table, smiling to Seth. "no, i dont need a room but i came here hoping you might be willing to help a former townie get some groceries and things from the store.. at least til i can see if 'pops' old truck still runs back at the house"

turning his eyes now to the back of Nessie's head. "the Prodigal daughter returns huh?" he had room to talk, he was out of town right after graduation, going to be part of the few and the proud, but anything to annoying and pick at an old friend. "do or find anything interesting since you left Nessie?"

Davidson, Davidson had a great time in the past years. Granted he had lost all but... well all his freinds but the town was changing. New people comming and going all the time. And, with the goldsmiths gone he had full market share. With all the strange occurances happening he haddent been out shooting in years. A shame, he could murder a wolf right now. Given that hunting season was nearly over bullets were really expensive, and as the price of silver was lowered he was rammed most days and nights with tourists looking for a trinket so he could never get out and fling some silver, a old Davidson trick, they say a Silver bullet never misses and never fails, wolf death everytime. A old wife tale ofcourse, a myth from the town itself.

''Prodigal?'' Vanessa asked, she relaxed when she saw it was Kade yet when she did smelled the wolf sent on him, she lowered her head a little to him. ''You really call me that? Pffft'' she said and then she sat back down on the chair and finished her breakfast. ''Hmmm.. Seen the world, Whole Europe, a bit of Asia'' she said, she paused a second but then looked up. ''I am now back to stay'' she said.

''Oh Seth, do you maybe know how to get a permit for starting a restaurant?'' Vanessa suddenly asked. ''Sorry, it is kinda jumping to a new subject but since you have the B&B, I wanted to know so I can get to that after I settled in my new house'' she said.

Kassey made sure all of her things were securely loaded into the RV before filing in behind everyone else after Aaliyah finally arrived and everything was ready to roll. Kass was already getting antsy as she followed somewhat impatiently into the RV, bouncing on her toes as she did so. "You guys, this is going to be awesome." She grinned widely and finally made her way into the RV, taking a spot on one of the couches that lined the outer edge of the vehicle. She tried not to fidget too much, lest she annoy the friends that sat beside her. Last thing she wanted was to get sandwiched between them to hold her still from the habit of bouncing her leg.

The music came over the speakers and the RV began to move, and finally they were on their way. Of course, they had one more pit stop. Couldn't leave without the full squad! TJ was a bit tricky to convince, but Kassey figured that when they showed up with this big ass RV packed with people, she couldn't easily say no. Hell, if she had to Kassey would go inside and drag TJ out herself.

She occupied herself by playing on her phone and making mild chit chat with her companions until she felt the RV come to a stop. Riley honked the horn and Kassey looked over her shoulder to see if TJ was going to come out willingly or not. "We may need to use a little more forceful persuasion to get 'er out here. And by that I mean borderline kidnapping." Kassey looked around with raised eyebrows. It was a shame TJ didn't seem to want to hang out with the group as often anymore, but Kassey wasn't the type of friend to let someone slip out of their tight little group. She knew it was annoying at times, how concerned she seemed to be with everyone and everything. Unfortunately, she couldn't help it. It was in her nature to be loyal to a fault. So, if annoyance will keep her closest friends together, so be it. It has worked this long, after all.

Steve, postman Steve, the man they couldn't kill. Thats what he often told himself as he drove down the same boring roads. Day in day out handing letters to the bored or the crazy for staying there. Haddent hunted for a while, heck, no one went hunting any-more, seemed to be that you fell in love with the town for the wildlife and hunting scene and after you set up a house you never hunted again. Steve flashed back to when him and his baby cousin used to spend all day firing at wolves and deer alike, the times they spoke regularly and were as thick as theives. But when he took over the silversmiths at the same time he got a promotion to head of sorting they never talk now, shame. Driving down the same roads, he could proberly remember this very same road if he shut his eyes.... so he did.

The soft purr of the van as it drove in a straight line, the whipping of the air as it flowed through his window, hit the van doors and rebouded into the back of his neck, it was the life. The darkness consuming him as he drove, the once soft purr of the engine became a soft lullaby pulling him under

"Awake!" was the first thing he said as he jolted up, the beamers hitting his face as he swerved to avoid the moving object in-front of him, the van lercing to the side and getting stuck in the side. Looking up he could see the problem. He has nearly hit the Highschool RV... Again....

Exsamining the situation, he had arrived at a house, they had all

Tala was upstairs in her bedroom angrily packing her Satanic cat duffle bag full of clothing. Her face was red and her hands were trembling as tears fell from dark brown eyes. She was going to do it this time. She was going to go away, and leave her mother and her asshole stepfather behind. Who the hell was he to tell what she could and could not do? Who the hell was he to judge her?

It was a good thing the door to the master bedroom was locked at night because her stepfather might wake up his head and well groomed beard shaven. Or a pair of scissors in his eye. Or a knife in his chest. Or both. Tala didn't know exactly when her relationship with her stepfather went sour. They got along great when she was a child. She even called him daddy a few times. Yet sometime after she hit adolescence everything went downhill. It was as if one day she woke up and all of his flaws were instantly revealed to her. With each passing year as Tala got older their relationship deteriorated further and further.

"Racist... homophobic.... piece of shi--!!"

**HONK! HONK!!**

The honking was coming from right outside. Tala zipped her bag closed and ran done the stairs. She dropped her bag down beside the front door then wiped her eyes before opening the door. What she saw surprised her. A large RV was taking up the entire driveway. What in the world? Then, she saw the driver. Was that...

"Riley?"

Billy fell in line with the others and got in the RV. He found his place, of course, shotgun and all. He got the full view of the road and his own lovely seat. He was glad everyone was there but there was also his sadness that he was holding back. Ugh, he pushed that from his mind and let the conversation of the RV fill his head. He looked behind to see his friends, each had found a seat thankfully. If there wasn't enough room, he would be more then willing to have a girl sit on his lap.

Before they had even gotten half way down the road, that stupid postman guy started to swerve in the RV's lane. Luckily, Billy didn't have to cuss him out as he quickly got back into his own lane. He didn't really like that guy.

Then they were at TJ's house. He liked to think that they were close once but time has a way of diluting things and she slowly pulled away. Not just from him, but from the others as well and the only thing Billy could do was watch and wait. He also wondered if they would stop anywhere else on this trip but chose to not pry and just go for the ride.

He looked at Riley, then to the house, saying "You did tell her we were coming right? Or did she just not answer, like usual?"

Riley Stark

Riley looked over at the side view mirror seeing Steve swerve out of the way since the RV took up a small bit of the road parked out in front of TJ's house. She rolled her eyes knowing that he wasn't even paying to the road looking over towards Billy as he asked her about TJ and nodded. "I did spam her phone over the past week to see if she wanted to come but she never replied to any of the texts I sent her. So i'm hoping she will join us since we are parked right in front of her house." Riley said then she watched the front door slowly open seeing TJ standing by the front door, she quickly pushed open the window and stuck her head out of the window. "Hey, aren't you going to come camping with us this year?" Riley yelled towards her friend.

Seth Stark

Seeing the new guest taking off the motorcycle helmet Seth looked over towards Vanessa and saw that she had recognized him as Kade, he heard of Sarah mention him a few times in the past though he never met him until now. "So you must be Kade Sarah had mentioned you a few times before its nice to meet you." Seth smiled and extended his hand towards him, he then turned to look over at Vanessa asking about a permit to open her own business. "I can certainly hook you up with those papers i'll even hook you up with someone who helped me with the B&B, i'll be right back and get those papers for you." Seth said as he turned around and left the kitchen and made his way up the stairs to print out the papers.

Standing just outside the front door of her home Tala brushed her long dark hair behind a tiny ear with a delicate hand as Riley shouted at her from inside the RV. It took her a moment to process why what Riley was saying, the argument with and the anger towards her stepfather still fresh in her mind. Seeing Billy in the passenger seat helped jog her memory. Of course... the annual camping trip.

Tala folded her arms over her flat tummy shivering just a bit. The mostly sheer rosetta cami did nothing to protect her from the cool morning air. The raven haired girl had been prepared to run away from her family and home. But, as she stood there on her porch looking at the large vehicle filled an unknown number of her friends Tala knew that had been an overreaction. One of many she had had to her parents over the last several months. Her mother believed Tala's outbursts to nothing more than the hormones of a teenage girl. Her stepfather believed her reactions to caused by the movies she watched, the music she listened to, the people she hung with and her not being baptized. Whatever the cause running away was obviously not the answer. Yet a few days away from her parents may do a little good.

Holding up her index finger signalling to Riley to give her a moment, Tala stepped back inside her house. After a handful of minutes the seventeen year old exited her home with her duffle bag over one shoulder. her little black purse over the other, and a sleeping bag under her arm. Her buckled Chuck Taylors made little noise as she walked down the steps and on to the side walk leading to the driveway while she placed her black slouchy beanie upon her head. As she walked Tala patted her front pocket of her torn skinny jeans to double check that she had indeed placed her music player inside. Once at the RV she stuffed her sleeping bag and duffle into one of the outside storage containers.

Finally, after taking a breath, Tala entered the large recreational vehicle greeting her friends with a smile, a wave of her fingers, and a half-hearted joke. "The cute one's here."

Riley watched Tala putting up one finger and nodded watching as her friend turned around to head back into her house, she sat there in the drivers seat for about five minutes or so until Tala finally came back out holding her sleeping bag and duffle bag Riley was happy to have her friend joining them this year. Riley hadn't talked to much to Tala as of late but still texted her to see and how she was doing, when Tala got into the RV Riley quickly stood up and pulled Tala into a loving hug. "I'm really happy that you decided to come." Riley said before going back to sitting in the front seat and started up the RV. "Lets get this trip on the road now that everyone is here!" Riley said happily as she started pulling out of the driveway and started to drive down the road making her way towards the outside of town.

As Riley drove down the windey roads it was about a fifteen minute drive towards the lake until they finally made it to Red Lake, the lake was always a beautiful sight to see the midday sun shining over the lake, Riley quickly found a good parking spot near the shore of the lake. Riley turned off the RV and looked over her shoulder looking at her friends and smiled. "Lets go and set up camp!" Riley quickly got out of the drivers seat and went to unload the camping supplies.

As the trip, now with everyone who was going, was finally underway, Cassandra was glad she had put herself near a window. She nudged it open gently, letting the air from the movement of the car blow kver her. She liked people. But being stuck in a rolling house with so many made her feel, just slightly, claustrophobia. The cool air was a blessing, and she listened to the others, humming softly under her breath.

When they reached the camp, Cassandra immediately disembarked with her gear, and within moments, with practiced ease, had her tent set up. "I have room in my tent, if anyone wants a roof over their head" she said, speaking up, before diving into the tent, and wriggling out of her clothes, into her swimming gear.

Once that was done, she started out, gathering some wood for a fire, putting a pile of sticks, twigs and leaves aside, ready to be used. She tied her hair back, looking around, seeing if anyone else was ready for a swim

Billy always liked the ride to the lake, though it was short it had great views. Once the rounded the corner and the lake came into view, he was amazed at how beautiful it was under the warm sun. Eventually they found a spot and the RV became parked, with Riley telling the gang time to unpack. Joy, he thought.

Billy liked the outdoors, it was a sense of freedom that he couldn't properly explain but enjoyed nonetheless. He had not brought a tent to sleep in, like others. He prefered the warmth of the fire and gazing up at the stars, so he had just brought a sleeping bag and an old pillow he could use to lay his head upon. If it became a bit to cold, he brought an extra blanket to keep himself warm, not that he thought he would need it however.

He instantly noticed that Cassandra had changed into her swimsuit and as much as he liked to look, he didn't know how to swim so he wouldn't be joining her, he didn't even bring trunks anyways. Nope, instead he decided he would gather larger pieces of firewood from the forest. He went to his bag and pulled out a hatchet. A fine tool that he had bought a year ago, for the previous trip.

"Alright guys," he did a goofy pose with the hatchet, "who's coming with me to collect some real fireword? As much as he need small sticks, we also need the large stuff, if we plan to make it through the night." He said jokingly.
