You woke up earlier than usual, probably just because of the unfamilar suroundings. Nikki was still asleep and just judging from the significant lack of people noises you assumed that no one else was up yet. You sighed and sat up, stretched, grabbed a water bottle and chugged like half of it. You ran a brush through your hair just to make it look a little more orderly before finally slipping an oversized hoodie on and grabbing Tattletail, his brush, his portable charging station, and a bag of snacks.

You stepped out. The sun had not fully risen yet but the sky was bright and it was pleasantly cool. You took a deep breath and walked up down to the lake and the pier. (A/N: Is that how u spell it??)

While you were walking you heard the counsler's cabin door open but you didn't bother to turn and see who it was.

You sat down at the edge of the dock and took a deep breath, before turning Tattletail on. His blue fake eyes flew open but before he could even utter a squeak, you had him slammed on the charger, stuffed some food in his mouth, and started brushing him all at the same time. Talk about morning pampering.

After a while Tattletail was satisfied and you just sat, relaxed, legs dangling over the water. You heard footsteps on the dock and you looked behind you, expecting to see one of the counslers, but to your surprise Max stood a few feet away.

"What are you doing up so early?" He asked, seeming both emotionless and slightly curious. You shrugged.

"Woke up early and came out here to take care of Tattletail in case he started screaming and woke everyone up. Why are you up so early?"

"None of your fuckin' business why I'm up so early," he snarled back. Typical Max.

You turned around and looked back at the water. Then at Tattletaaaiiiii- wait where the fuck was Tattletail?

You frantically looked around, trying to spot his purple coat but couldn't see anything. You checked over the edge of the pier in case he fell in the lake but the water was clear and showed only sand and rocks and shit.

You did NOT have time for this crap. You sighed in exasperation and ran a hand through your hair.

You stood up to go look for Tattletail and Max Followed you. "What's up with you?" He asked.

You sighed again and muttered, "Tattletail ran off again."

"Are his legs even functional? How the hell does he even...?" the boy behind you mused.

"I don't fucking know but he does it a lot and it's fricken stupid. It is way too fucking early for this bullshit," you growled back. Then you froze. Max almost ran into you.

"Wha-"

"Shut the hell up I'm trying to listen."

You could have sworn.... after a few minutes you growled and started walking but suddenly you heard it again. That stupid furby's obnoxious giggle.

"This way," you said, grabbing Max by the arm and running back into the woods near the entrance to the camp. You let go of Max after a bit but he still followed you anyway. After a few minutes of hiking you found the little furby shit sitting on a boulder, facing you and Max. Surrounding Tattletail were 3 brightly colored plastic eggs.

"Where the hell did these come from?" Max demanded, picking up one of the eggs while you grabbed Tattletail.

You picked up the other two and replied, "I'm relativly certain Tattletail shits 'em out. Feel free to open it, it's usually stupid stuff that he finds."

You and Max broke the 3 eggs and ended up with a tiny pinecone, some pine needles, and a pebble. Such magnificent treasures.

You and him walked back to camp, which by now was mostly awake and gathering in the Mess Hall. Neil and Nikki ran up to you.

"Dude where were you guys? We tried to find you all morning!" Neil exclaimed.

"Yeah well I woke up early so I went out to the lake with Tattletail and for some reason Max was up," you replied casually.

"I was trying to find intel so we could escape this hellhole," Max retorted. You raised an eyebrow at him.

"Is that why you were in the counsler's cabin?"

"Suck a dick, (y/n)."

The day passed pretty much the same as yesterday, with the most interesting thing that happened being the gang brainstorming escape ideas. Some of them sounded pretty possible, but some of them were also kind of stupid. Like Nikki's 'lure bears into camp' idea.

Before long you were all in the forest, just doing stupid kid stuff like throwing things at each other and threatening murder. You know, the usual.

Night fell and you heard David from afar telling the campers to go to their tents and rest up for tomorrow.

"C'mon guys, we should probably head back," you said. Neil agreed, Nikki whined a bit but agreed after some logical convincing and Max just pouted.

While you were walking you started getting a creepy feeling. It might have been nighttime but it was just... too quiet. You fell in last of the gang, who were chatting quietly amongst themselves. As you were walking you saw something out of the corner of your vision. Something that you had been certain you would never see again.

A pair of glowing red orbs shining in the darkness.

You breathing stopped for a moment and you whipped around to look in that direction, only to see the reddish glint of the campfire shining between the trees and bushes. You stared, both you and Tattletail eerily silent. Eventually the rest of the gang noticed you had stopped and Nikki came back for you.

"(y/n)? Are you ok?"

You blinked and breathed again and answered tiredly, "Yeah yeah, I'm fine. Lets go."

As you walked back to camp your brain was whirling but you tried your hardest to convince yourself it wasn't what you thought it was. It was just the campfire...

Right?
