Layla p.o.v

I hurried across the living room twords my room in the hallway. I opened my room door and grabbed cloths, blankets, pillows and all the supplies I would need for a camping trip. I quickly stuffed my supplies into my backpack I then raced out of my room into the living room once again. I sat down on our couch as I waited for my siblings, just as I heard doors open and close I jumped off the couch in excitement. I hurried over to the door where my siblings were standing at as I grabbed my shoes, and coat. Joey groaned.
"How can someone be this happy when we are going into a dirty old woods filled with insects."
Abby let out a sigh as she opened the door to our wood cabin and we headed out the door. We walked down our yard until we were on the dirt road heading up the old lane that was not so surprisingly in the middle of the woods. As we walked we heard birds chirping and saw squirrels crawling up trees, we continued to walk until we took a turn to the right and was met with a chained up lane that headed down hill. Abby stepped over the chain and the rest of us copied following her down onto the lane. We walked on this lane which felt like hours until we finally stopped and then headed into a Marsh which then lead into a forest of pine. The forest had a path that was barely ever used making it almost invisible from all the growing ferns. As we followed this tiny path in the forest I started to get chills and getting that feeling as if something was watching me. I stopped for a moment looking around seeing nothing but the thick pine and shrub. I continued to walk until we took a turn off the path into a deeper part of the woods when we are meeting with a clearing, it was camp. Abby and the rest of the us set our bags down onto the ground. (I just realized how much this gives Blair witch vibes ;~;)

'time skip to when they set everything up because fuck I'm lazy'

Matt flopped down in his tent from exhaustion. Abby and Joey were searching around in the bushes and shrubs trying to find sticks decent enough for a fire. After finding a few sticks Abby and Joey sat them in the middle of four logs that were supposedly our seats. I looked up to be meet with a pink and orange looking sunset, the sky looked as if it had been set on fire. As the sun went down slowly the sky became darker the moon being fully visible. Abby took out one of those really long(idk) lighters and continued to try and set the sticks on fire before a huge ball of flames sparked up. Tiny flares went everywhere, it was pretty quiet only the crackles of the fire we're heard until Joey asked.
"So what now?"
Everyone looked at him and Matt spoke up excitement in his voice.
"Oh, I know! Let's tell scary stories!
I mean there's nothing else we could do."
Everyone stayed quiet.
"Alright I'll go first."
Replied Abby. She cleared her throat like one of those really old narrators of stories would.
"Deep in the forest one night there lived a creature a very lonely creature.
This creature was unlike most.
With the body of a deer, head of a wolf, and claws of a human.
This creature was armed with razor sharp teeth and flesh ripping claws,
Maybe that's what made everyone afraid of it. In the day this creature was unseen in the night however, you can see it's red eyes glowing in the dark as it stalks near by campers. It's also said the creature Mimics the screams of it's victims in hope of luring in others. There's a legend about this creature it's called 'the wendigo curse'. Where the wendigo or so the creature would stalk a group of campers putting a curse on one of them, this curse caused the person to crave human flesh. The curse gets stronger and stronger until
The person goes and kills and eats their fellow campers. And since no one suspects that person of the murders they all think that a demon or some kind of creature is doing it. But when the cursed person had killed and eaten all of the other campers the wendigo comes and swallow the person whole. But even though your always told that whenever your in terrifying situation to always stick with other people while in this legend being alone is what will save you. Even when you feel like you could never be safer their is always something or someone watching you."
Nothing was said nothing was heard, not even a cricket.
"Jeez...
Talk about a cursed bedtime story."
Joey said. We all groaned from Joey's comment.
"Well come on, a scary story about some weird ass deer, wolf thing called the 'wendigo'. Pathet-"
Joey was cut off by a loud scream, it sounded as if someone was being torn apart. I put my knees up to my chest and hugged them in fear.
"W-what was that?"
Matt asked in a shaky voice. Abby shaked her head in a way of saying 'i don't know'.
"What if someone got hurt? Or worse killed!"
Suggested Matt, in fear.
However there was no answer for that question. For it could have been anything, anything at all.
