Enzo I had only just woken up after a mostly sleepless night of wishing I could just explain everything to Nina without either scaring her or pushing her away, when I heard banging on my front door. Groaning, I dragged myself out of bed and opened the door to a surprise: Luke. “She’s up to somethi

I quickly finished packing up my camping supplies, formulating a plan as I did so. I couldn’t just randomly show up in the woods and drag Nina home; for starters, I didn’t want to get shot, and secondly, I couldn’t have her friends getting suspicious. I had to figure out a way to make it seem like i

Nina Jessica, Lori and I had begun setting up camp not far from where the businessman had been murdered when I heard twigs and leaves crunching in the forest. Someone was coming. “Oh my god,” Jessica complained as she fiddled with her tent poles, “this is impossible! Lori, I need help!” “Guys,”

Nina Everyone went silent when Jessica suggested that we play Spin the Bottle. “C’mon, guys!” she said, her pretty face flushed from the beer. “It’s just a game.” “I’m down,” Matt chimed in. Lori shrugged, which was usually a sign of consent. James, Enzo and I, however, all stayed silent. “James

“Ooh, you could cut the tension with a knife it’s so thick,” Matt said. “Shut up!” Jessica growled, smacking him on the back of the head. Enzo stood and walked around the fire, stopping in front of me. I looked up at him, my heart racing a mile a minute, half of me hoping that he would just walk a

Enzo I was awoken by the gunshot just seconds before James came running back to camp. “Enzo!” he yelled. “Enzo! Nina’s in trouble! There’s something out there!” I didn’t need to hear any more. I quickly unzipped my tent and ran out, having kept my clothes and shoes on in case of an emergency. Unf

We collected wood in silence for a minute, but I had burning questions that needed to be answered. “You knew that guy, didn’t you?” I asked. She stopped and sighed, nodding. “I did. I didn’t know he was a werewolf. He lied to me… serves me right for meeting strangers on the internet.” So that was

Nina “Man,” Matt said, huffing as we slowly made our way up the mountain, “who knew hiking was such a workout?” “I’ll say,” Lori chimed in. By this point, she had piled her black hair on top of her head and was flapping her ratty black band t-shirt to cool herself off as we climbed. “You guys are

Jessica’s face was beet red when Lori finally pulled away. “Don’t scare me -- I mean, us -- like that again,” Lori growled, to which Jessica nodded sheepishly. We spent some more time at the summit, enjoying the view and basking in the sun on the rocks. Despite everything that happened the night b
