Part 5 - Shocking Surprise

[Date: The Next day/Place: Camp Woodwin, Maryland/Time:8:00/Temperature: 82°F] 

     Jake woke up in his cabin by the sound of the horn going off. He did not want to get up. Heck, no one did. Jake got dressed and headed out to the food lodge(I forgot what it's called but if you can tell me what it is, that'll be appreciated so I can use that in future chapters). The Director was there as well, he pulled Jake aside to talk to him. "Why were you out by the lake last night by yourself?" He asked. Jake became confused and replied, "I was with someone. She was out by the lake."

"Who?"

"Her name was Eliza. She said she was your daughter."

The Director's eyes went wide. "E-Eliza..? No. No, you can't be serious-" He started to say before someone called him through the radio. "Excuse me, I have to go. We'll continue this later." He picked up the radio and responded, and he left the lodge. Confused, Jake went in line and got some breakfast: eggs, a pancake, and a small helping of strawberries. 

[Time Skip: 2 hours]

     The director went over to Jake's cabin and wanted him to come to his office, which was in the middle of the camp.
     When they got over there and inside, the first thing Jake saw was newspapers, some "Missing Person"s signs, and a quaint desk with some books, a clipboard, and an old phone, that worked, but was outdated. Jake looked at the missing poster's signs and read the name, "Eliza Baker". The Director sat down at his desk and asked, "Did you really see Eliza?"

"Yes. Out by the lake. She was so pale.."

"I'm not surprised, she doesn't like the sun all that much, she prefers the night. But she's been missing for over 3 years. Some students claimed she's seen her, but then they said that she disappears when they turn their backs to her."

"How did she go missing?"

"..You really want to know?"

"Yes."


"3 years ago, she and a few other campers went out in the woods when something disturbed them in the middle of the night. They came across a old cabin in the woods.

Eliza told them that they shouldn't be out in the woods without a counselor, but the others insisted on checking it out. One by one, they entered. They all screamed when they found blood on the floor and a knife. The only one that was unfazed by all this was Eliza. She told them that it was probably a set up by Cardin and his buddies. Cardin was the one that always bullied Eliza, and she hated him. Everyone did. When Eliza turned around to face her friends, she noticed that one of them was gone. They left the cabin to go search their friend. But there was new blood on the ground. The 3 split up to go look for their friend, and each had a flashlight. They eventually found their friend, and headed back to camp, but Eliza never found the camp. No one's heard from her since."

Jake's eyes widened. "I saw her. But why won't she come back?" The Director paused for a moment, then said, "No one knows what happened to her, if she died, that could have been her spirit. I don't know for sure. But we had a fight earlier that day, she must still be mad at me for it.."
