[IC] Spring Break (Horror RP)

[tsubasa]

The trees and brush broke away to reveal the large blue lake that sat in the mountains' valley. Alice adjusted her bag on her back as she walked closer to it, her face in awe. She had been looking up pictures of this place since she decided to hike here but they didn't match up to the actual sight. They had started hiking from their school sometime in the early morning and the trip had taken them all day, leaving them to look at the last fading lights of the day. Tate walked passed Alice before coming to a stop and looking over it all, "So this is it?" He asked, his voice giving away his own amazement.

Alice nodded before she took off her backpack. She suddenly felt pounds lighter with the bag sitting on the ground. She turned and looked at the group, "Alright," She said with a grin, "I... I guess we should set up camp with the light we have."

Elias stepped out of the bush and threw his things down next to Alice's, which were quickly joined by Tate's. He crouched down and pulled tent and sleeping bag off of his backpack and looked at the youngest of their group, "Tents and then fire, I think."

Tate shook his head, "If we put of fire building, we won't be able to find stick... Why don't use men build the tents and let the girls find us from firewood."

He looked between Alice and Sophia, "Sound good?"

Sophia walked behind Alice until they finally gotten out and into a rather beautiful clearing, seeing the sun setting over the lake she looked over her shoulder at Ray who was the last of the group to come out from the bushes seeing the same look she smiled at him. Sophia set her backpack down and stretched out her back feeling all of the weight coming off of it, she kneeled down as she started to take out some of the tent equipment she had brought with her.

Hearing the twins with their suggestions, she turned to look at Raymond who was setting down his bags next to Sophia's he thought for a moment and shrugged slightly. "I'll help set up the tents." He told them, Sophia looked at Alice and smiled at her. "I guess we will get the fire started up c'mon lets go."

Sophia stood up looking at the boys for a moment. "And don't go digging through my bag okay?" She said with a laugh before making her way back into the woods, spotting a few rocks for the boarder of the fire. "Thank you for letting me on this trip by the way."

Alice looked over her shoulder at Sophia when she spoke, thanking her for allowing her to tag along. She gave her a small smile before shrugging, "Letting people tag along was the whole plan... I don't have many... any friends around here... I thought this might be a nice way to meet some people."

She crouched down to the ground and started gathering sticks. She decided it might be best to keep a few in her tent with her as well, just in case it rained. She'd grab enough for a few fires. She straightened and continued walking into the wood, "I really should thank you for coming... I really wouldn't have had the courage to come up here alone and I didn't want to hang around the school for Spring Break."

Elias grabbed his and Tate's tent and laid them out while Tate took to removing Alice's tent from her bag. He picked up at little before grunting, not having expected it to be heavy, "Geez, did this girl pack her entire dormroom? This thing feels like it has a brick in it."

Elias looked over his shoulder as his brother, "What is it too heavy for the jock?" He joked before turning his attention back to carefully threading the poles through the tent's pockets. They had decided they'd just be better off sharing there multi-person tent and having too much room over having to go out and get two new one person tents... Which was fine but it did make setting it up slower than it could have been.

Tate shook his head, "No. I just didn't expect it to be that heavy. Explains why she was walking so slow. This bag is at least half her weight."

Elias laughed, "Just set up her tent without the complaining, will ya?"

Sophia smiled at Alice. "Well I still have to thank you anyway, the only person that I know here is Ray since we share an apartment together." She said with a slight shrug as she grabbed a few sticks as well. "And going back home didn't seem all that fun or interesting either." She shrugged slightly and stood up and followed behind Alice. "So where are you from Alice?" Sophia asked as she walked alongside her and would occasionally look at her and then forward.

Ray would open up Sophia's bag his eyes going over between the two twins and smirked as the two of them joked around, he started to put pegs down into the ground and slowly started putting the tent together it was a bit heavy as he started to slowly assemble the tent together until finally it was completely built looking over at the twins.

"Looks like the jock needs to carry more weights around." Raymond said with a laugh as he quickly switched over towards his tent, about ten minutes later both his and Sophia's tents were put together. Knowing some survival tips he read online about and went to pull out an empty plastic bag and rabbed all of their supplies and started to put them in and went over towards a tree and made sure that it was firmly tied to prevent bears from getting at their food.

Alice nodded her head, "I figured I wasn't the only one who didn't want to go home."

She bit her lip a little when Sophia asked where she was from, "Tennessee... So I'm pretty far from home. It's pretty cold up here too. I had to go out and buy myself a bigger coat," She smiled a little before bending down and grabbing a few more sticks. She was quick and pretty soon her arms were overflowing with firewood. She turned and looked at Sophia, "Alright, I think we got enough. We should head back to the tents."

Tate rolled his eyes as Ray's comment, "I lift enough weights. I'm just saying this girl has got everything and the kitchen sink in here."

He crouched down after that and put up Alice's tent and positioned it so that it was facing the others, creating a small semicircle of tents of the edge of the lake. Elias noticed the two girls arrive shortly after the tents were done and gathered some of the sticks from Alice, "Alright, let's get this fire started. Anyone bring something to start a fire with?"

"Matches or a lighter?" Alice asked before putting the sticks out and pulling both from her bag.

Elias glance toward his brother, alright so maybe she was a little over prepared, "Match will probably be best."

Alice nodded and tossed him the box before she opened her tent and started to move her things and the rest of the sticks inside.
