CHAPTER FIVE: THE STORM.
DOG LIPS kicked the body off him and got to his feet, breathing heavily. He watched as MB rolled away from the body and sat against a tree, almost crying. DL put his foot on the side of the corpse and pushed it over on it's back.
DL: Holy spit.... that's Equint!!! ..He's...He's dead!!!
MB: I told you.... I told you!
DL took a step back and looked over at MB. MB looked up and saw a strange look on DL's face.
MB: What? ...What?!!
DL: Dream my ass, you killed him!!
Before MB could answer, DL ran off towards the main buidling. MB hesitated, then got to his feet and ran off into the forest.
Elsewhere....
Danger Mouse led the way for the campers that were at the lake, followed closely by Dew. As he walked he reached his arm out and held his hand in the air. Several rain drops slapped against his hand. It was at least a 15-20 minutes walk back to camp, and he had the feeling they were going to get soaked.
DM: Everyone, let's speed things up or we're going to end up getting caught in a big storm.
Sabretooth broke through the crowd and made his way to the front, then stood between Dew and DM.
Sabre: Wait, we can't go. Eric Draven is missing. He was with me at the cliff, then when we got our stuff to leave, he never showed. I... I miss him.
Dew: Ok, Ok, relax. I'll go back and look for him, the rest of you head back to camp.
DM: Are you sure? I can go, and-
Dew: I SAID I'll go look for him. Keep on the trail, I'll catch up.
DM didn't like the idea, but he really needed to get the others back. He turned and led the way as the others followed. Dew made her way back towards the lake when a greasy camper ran up to her.
kainedamo: I'm going with you.
Dew was about to yell at him when she looked back and saw that the others were already a ways ahead of them.
Dew: Dammit. Fine, let's go.
The two of them hurried down to the edge of the lake as the rain began to fall. Thunder rumbled through the sky, and in a matter of minutes the sky was almost black from the dark clouds. Several of the counselors had heard about the storm coming, but they had no idea how bad it was going to be.
