Jorge's POV.
I was sitting by the camp fire. Zuri and Tiffany beside me while Lou, Xander, Emma and Ravi sit on a log next to us. All the other campers went into their cabins for the night.
"I miss home... I miss my mother's cooking... I miss my uncles messing with Wolf... I miss my aunts scolding my uncles for making Wolf cry when they criticize her too much... I miss how Wolf would wrap me in a protective hug whenever she saw kids looking at me strangely..." I mutter to myself, not noticing the other heard.
"Wolf? Who's Wolf?" Ravi asks surprised.
"Wolf is the nickname my family call my sister. She never really liked her name, saying it was... Unnatural in our family. But no matter when, or where she is, she always wears a bright smile whether it's on her face, or in her eyes. She's protective of her friends ad family, hence the name Wolf. She acts like an Alpha and I wish she wasn't so keen on protecting me... I want to protect her for once." I mumble.
"Wow... I didn't know you could talk so much." Tiffany states in surprise. "Where's Wolf now?"
"Probably on a bus, coming here actually. She never likes being away from me for long." I smile at them as they all gain thoughtful looks. "I must warn you though, Wolf is kinda... Weird."
"How so, Jorge?" Xander asks.
"Well... She, uh, she looks different from our family. She's smaller and more fragile, but she makes that up by her wit and her emotions. Sometimes, she cares too much." I explain. "She doesn't usually care for her appearance like me. She smells kinda weird too."
"Well, we should go get some rest. It's really late and we have a big day tomorrow." Lou explains and Xander, Ravi and I go to our cabin while the girls head to theirs.
Next morning!
"Alright Campers! I have some news for you all. We have a new camper with us today, and she will be in Weasel Cabin. Please be kind to her!" Gladys says loudly as we all meet up in the center of camp. "Unfortunately she is in Weasel Cabin, unpacking. You'll all see her at lunch though."
"I wonder what her name is?" Emma asks curiously and I get nervous.
"I just hope she isn't like the others in Weasel Cabin." Zuri shivers.
"What if it's Wolf?" Tiffany asks, having hope in her eyes that my sister was here to help me get over being homesick.
"Gladys? What's this new Campers name?" Xander asks.
"Xandy, why do you care?" Hazel asks as she leans on him flirtatiously.
"Well, it could be Jorge's sister." Xander explains as he shoves Hazel off of him, but she doesn't care.
"Oh. She said her name was Elle. She didn't say if it was a nickname or what." Hazel states boredly. "I have to show her around. Ugh."
"Oh... Can I go see her?" I ask, almost disappointedly since my sister's name wasn't 'Elle'.
"I guess?" Hazel says, shrugging before focusing back on Xander. Ravi walks with me to Weasel Cabin and a pale, black haired girl was unpacking her suitcase by the bed closest to the door.
"Hi, I'm Ravi and this is Jo-"
"Jorge!!!!" The girl screams, cutting off Ravi, before tackling me to the ground in a hug. "I'm so glad to see you! I've missed you back home, so I convinced Mama to let me come here for the summer, with you!" She says from above me, still hugging me.
"W-Wolf?" I whimper out as she suffocates me since I couldn't breathe.
"Sorry baby bro!" She jumps off of me and I suck in a breath. "Hi Ravi! My names Elizabeth. But most people call me Elle, or Wolf." She holds out her right hand to Ravi, the hand with the wolf bracelet I gave her for her 10th birthday.
"Hello, Elle." He says, shaking her hand politely, but also nervous. "It is nice to meet you, Jorge was just telling us last night, how much he missed you."
"Well, we were never really used to being far apart. Ever since he was born, I was always wrapped around his finger and he was never far from me, or out of my sight." She says, ruffling my curly hair.
"Watch the hair!" I yelp, she retracts her hand and I fix my hair.
"I'm pretty sure he cares about his hair, more than he cares about me." She whispers to Ravi.
"I heard that. And I care about you a little more than my hair." I say as I hug her waist and she places her arms around my shoulders. "I missed you so much Wolf."
"Well, Jorge. We need to go, we have to eat Lunch." She giggled as she pats my back and I release her before grabbing her hand and pulling her out of the Cabin, Ravi following and closing the door.
"Hey guys!" Lou says enthusiastic as she sees me and Ravi walk into the Mess Hall. "Who is this lil' lady?"
"Hi! My name is Elizabeth, but you can call me Elle or Wolf!" Elle says, equally enthusiastic.
"Oh, so YOUR Jorge's sister." Zuri says, nodding knowingly.
"Yup! Are you my baby bro's friends?" Elle asks curiously.
"Yeah, I guess you could say that." Tiffany says.
"It's nice to meet you all. Any friends of Jorge's are friends of mine!" She says, smiling kindly at them.
"There's never a dull moment with you, is there, Elle?" Lou jokes while Elle shakes her head.
"So, what are your guys' names? Ravi already introduced himself earlier."
"I'm Emma, this is my little sister Zuri." Emma says, Zuri waves. "This is my boyfriends Xander, and my best friend Lou, and Zuri's best friend, Tiffany."
"Ravi is Emma and Zuri's brother." I whisper to her and she nods slowly.
"How old are you, Elle?" Xander asks curiously.
"Oh! I'm 14!" She smiles.
"I'm 10, Zuri is 13, Ravi is 15, Emma and Lou are both 18, and Xander is 19." Tiffany says, numbering them off on her fingers. Elle smiles before seeing Hazel walk up.
"Hey, Elle, come sit with us instead of these losers." Hazel starts, she sends a glare at me but Elle steps in front of me and holds me to her back for protection.
"I will not allow you to speak that way, or look at my brother, that way again, Hazel Swearingjon." Elle says in a demanding tone. Hazel looks shocked before huffing in annoyance.
"Xandy! Are you going to let her talk that way to me!" Hazel pouts.
"Yes, and I'm not gonna stop her." Xander says, annoyed with Hazel. Hazel storms off to her table and Elle sits by me at ours.
"Hey, Elle, how about you become a Woodchuck? Since Hazel may make your stay here, rough." Lou offers, I grab Elle's free hand as she eats. She looks at me and I nod.
"Sure, why not?" She says happily. After lunch, me, Elle, Ravi and Lou go into the Weasel Cabin and pack up Elle's stuff, before taking her bed to the Woodchuck Cabin. They place the bed on a wall on the opposite side of Tiffany and Zuri's.
"Thanks, Lou." I whisper as we walk out if the Cabin while Elle unpacks again and Ravi helps.
"No problem. Your sister seems really nice." Lou smiles down at me.
"Yeah..." I says as I think of how kind and protective she is towards others, but she never thinks about herself. Not ever taking care of herself if she's sick. She always says, 'I don't care what my health is, if someone needs my help, I'm going to help them.' The last time she said that was when she broke her arm and a neighbor of ours needed help around their house. She stepped up to the task and did it, ignoring her pain. The truth was, no matter what face she shows on the outside, she was always so broken on the inside. Ever since that accident...
