After laughing until we couldn't breathe last night, we finally hit the hay well after lights out. I wake up to a bright light  and people yelling. "WHAT!! I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!!!!" A shrill voice screams, jolting me awake. I sit up straight in bead and see the other girls up too, listening to the conversation intently. "Yea! She was with me all night!" A deeper voice protests. "She was with you after lights out? In your cabin?" A voice that could only belong to Brenda. I am guessing the other voices belong to Erica and Malici. "I'm sorry but kitchen duty for you," a high pitch whine "and trash duty for you." A grunt "How long?" Malici grumbles "Two weeks." "WHA-?" "NOOOO!!!!" I snicker and climb down to get dressed. I pull on my favorite T-shirt with a wolf on it and athletic shorts. Today is going to be a fun day.

After everyone got around we start heading toward Mess Hall. Today is oatmeal. I grab my bowl and sit down with the other girls. I can see the guys at another table staring at us. The brunette, in particular, looking at Bri and laughing. I look at my fri- team mate, and she is surveying him with squinted eyes. She smirks and walks over there. I look in astonishment as she stands right ahead of him and picks a piece of the stale cereal and says, "I think you missed a spot," in a mock sweet voice and walks away. She sits down and we all laugh and eat, talking about our lives at home.

On our way back I notice something in the bushes. I creep closer and see a fluffy fur ball. "Awwww! She is so cute!! A wolf pup! Gray by the looks of it," I jump not noticing Bri right behind me. She giggles and reaches out to the solid black fuzz ball. "Hey," she whispers and the pup takes great liking to her, it jumps up on her and licks her face. We laugh at the cute ball of fluff. We try to leave but she keeps following us. Well more specifically Bri. "Hey, you gotta go home," she coos. The pup whines and Bri says, "Oh! Did something happen to your mom?" I am amazed. "How?" I ask and she shrugs. She scoops up the little pup and pets her. "I'll take care of you," she coos. "But you can't! You know that is dangerous!" I say. "But look at her! She needs a mother!" She reasons. "What if Brenda finds her?" "I'll reason with her!" I sigh, "Yea, ok." "THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!" She jumps up and down making the pup bounce. She realizes this and stops. "TO THE CABIN!!!" She shouts and points in that direction. We walk to our cabin and the other girls are outside in chairs. "Hey," I wave. "FINALLY!!! You're here!" Silver sits up imidiantly. Brook is pouting in a chair. "They are searching our room!" She whines. "What?!" I shout. "Bri looks terrified. "Wh-why would th-they d-do th-that?" She whimpers. "I dunno, wouldn't tell us," Silver replies suspiciously "Why are you stuttering again?" "I-I d-don't know," she looks down and pets her pup. Silver and Brook's eyes follow her hand and grow wide. "What is that?!" Brook asks. "Hum? Oh she's an abandoned gray wolf pup, I am taking care of her," Bri says absently, looking off to the dock. "She needs a name," Silver looks at the fluff pile in Bri's arms, asleep. Bri looks down at the pitch black ball with gray eyes affectionately and speaks, "Salem" I look quizzically at her and she answers my unasked question. "It's what they call a witch's animal follower," "I thought those had to be cats," Silver says. "No not always, usually though," Bri says, drifting off to space. The door opens making us all jump. Bri quickly places Salem in a nearby bush. "We didn't find anything," one of two guys  in all black tells us. I see Bri let out a sigh of relief as the Men in Black if you got that you are awesome. turn back and walk away. I burst into the room and see everything strewn out in various places. "They destroyed our home!" Bri shouts, clearly outraged.  Salem runs in and hops on the nightstand and up to Bri's now unmade bed. Which was neat and pristine this morning. Like the rest of the room. "UUUUUGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!" I groan as I flop on bed. "In the morning?" Brook asks and everyone nods. It is as black as Salem's fur when the lights turn off and the last thing I see before deep sleep is Salem curled up beside Bri.

Hey Wazzup!!!
Hope you enjoyed this chappie!!
Why do you think Bri was stressed out when the Men in Black were searching the cabin. What do you think about Salem?
Super super SUPER sorry it has been FOREVER since last update. This trip has been really busy. I am leaving now so I will probably have more time. PEACE OUT!!!!!
