Myth Camp- Chapter 3

                    Abigail was getting out of the jacuzzi placed in her limo. She took her towel dried herself and got dressed into her worst clothes she could find at home (still they were more expensive than what normal people could afford). A lovely t-shirt, a denim jacket, jeans and pink boots. She brushed her hair and tied it into a pony tail. The butler opened the door and let her out of the car. She and her mum went in threw a big gate with a big sign saying “Myth Camp” with a foot print picture on it. They went into a lovely wooden hut. The whole place was very beautiful but Abi thought it was ugly and dirty. At a desk at the end of the room in the hut sat a tall woman with blue eyes and a big smile. Her ears were big and her nose was small. Her back was very straight which made her look even taller and she was sitting cross-legged. To Abigail Anna (she saw her name on the name tag) seemed confident and very cheerful even thou she was in such a terrible forest filled with bugs. While Anna saw a nice 15 year old girl with fashionable clothes that seemed unhappy because of where she was. Abigail’s mum signed some papers and the teen was sent to her cabin and set her things out. On her way she saw something very strange.    

               The strange thing Abigail saw was not a monster it was a seven year old girl with gray eyes, brown hair and one arm. Lila was struggling to carry her big and heavy bag. If you looked closer you would notice she tightly clenched a piece of paper in her arm and was very happy to be in the forest. She didn’t notice blond haired Abigail staring at her, maybe it was because she was too exited or maybe because Lila was used to people freaked out by her appearance.  The stones in the camp were normal but to her they seemed rounder and the dark grass seemed greener.  She noticed how beautifully everything was painted and how well everything looked together. She knew it would look great on a painting because even thou she was only 7 she loved art and was great at it, loads of the people in the adoption center praised her for it.  The reception hut where Abigail was few minutes ago was occupied by a plump woman and her daughter. She sat on a bench in front of the hut and took out a copy out of her bag. She started sketching and didn’t even notice when the mother and child went out and Anna came up to her. Anna seemed different than other people she looked at Lila like she was normal and didn’t seem to care about her arm.

“You must be Lila nice to meet you, you’re a great artist, I absolutely love your picture”, Anna said in a warm voice looking at Lila’s copy and shock Lila’s hand.

“Hello and thank you, is this where you drop the forms miss?”, Lila asked quietly.

“Yes, come on in and call me Anna”, she answered.

         When the paper work was done Lila went to her new home for the summer and in it found Abigail unpacking herself.

          Erika also went alone because her granny was too weak to go with her. She thought that was great because she could run away without her granny being there and do something that had nothing to do with the camp for the next few weeks, but she couldn’t bring herself to do it because she kept remembering how proud her guardian was when she walked to the bus station. She had another great plan; she pretended to drop her admission sheet and pretended not to notice so nobody accused her of not wanting to go. She didn’t have luck with that plan either because people kept saying things like “look, you dropped this” or “I this yours, you don’t want to miss such fun”, one person even accused her of littering. The whole problem was that she hated the idea of going to the camp.  She hated legends because she was a very realistic thinker. The thing that scared her the most was that she might actually change which was doubtful but possible. Even thou Erika was not a tiny bit creative she could imagine the owner of the camp looking down on her but Anna didn’t. The twelve year old was surprised when Anna wasn’t acting like she was better after reading her file but she didn’t show it, Erika as usual acted very confident and a little arrogant. She looked at the woman, she was beautiful but her brown hair was a mess. Erika left her papers and went to the cabin number 3 that seemed like her most unlucky number at that time. It was very warm but a little windy so her black hair kept covering her pail face and small green eyes. When she opened the door and saw two girls in the cabin she said “ Oh great, so now not only I have to go to this camp, I will have to live with these two” in her head and she was so angry she didn’t even notice Lila’s missing limb.

            Suzie was so exited she couldn’t sit still in her car sit.

-Dad don’t call me your muffin in front of everyone please! – Suzie asked politely.

 -Won’t, can I call you Suzie or maybe I should call you my baby. - Her dad said laughing.

- OMG dad, just call me Susan, k. - she answered to her dad’s joke that she didn’t like.

         The radio was playing loudly and Susan’s dad was badly singing to it. The music didn’t stop her from falling asleep and when she woke up they were on the camp’s grounds. She tied up her dark hair into a plat and put on her anti animal cruelty, organic lip-gloss.  Her parents had a lot of money but you couldn’t see it looking at them or their clothes, house or car because they give most of it away to charities helping animals and the environment. Everything in her house was made from recyclable material so as the camp which made her very happy and even her car was eco-friendly. They walked down an alley surrounded by loads of flowers and trees and she could name every single one of them and that’s exactly what she did impressing her that with her knowledge. She kept seeing animals and birds hidden well enough for most people to miss. She felt like that was where she was meant to be. Her dad dropped of the papers and kissed her tan chick before leaving her to go have fun in the camp. For a second she felt lonely but then she saw a rare butterfly and got carried away into her own imaginative and beautiful world. She loved the lovely smell of the forest and the diverse colors of the environment around her. If she could she would run after a squirrel or a fox but she knew she needed to unpack herself and she was excited about meeting her new roommates.
