"Yeah, those were my thoughts exactly," he said with a laugh, glancing around the room again. The room certainly was large, much bigger than your average camp cabin. He shrugged, before glancing at the others. "C'mon, let's go see if we can find Cameron and Odori, see if they finished their joy ride yet." He took a few steps out of the room, before turning back to Vic. "Odori is a girl in G1 and Cameron is in B1. I think..."
Even though she couldn't feel the needle, it still gave her a weird sensation, so she uttered a sigh of relief when Christina said it was done with. She didn't even glance at the older woman as she spoke about staying the night here, not even thinking about complying. "I think not. I'll be staying in my cabin tonight, with Rain, just like I'm supposed to." She stood and stumbled slightly, slipping back down onto the bed with a soft thud.
((Sorry it took me so long to post, guys! I was trying to get my new RP set up!!))

Vic nodded as he walked away from his bed where his luggage was. He didn't feel the need to unpack right now, and he didn't need anything at the moment. Looking up at Alex as he told him the names of the people they would go and look for now, he nodded. "Okay. I'll try to remember" He added a soft laugh at the end. He really wasn't all that great with names, but he would learn soon. Smiling, he walked over to the door where everyone was, waiting to leave.

"That's a trick though - you don't go to prison for allowing someone to drown," Henry pointed out. He glanced at the water. "Not right now. Maybe tomorrow. I wouldn't exactly be comfortable in what I'm wearing." Henry had a plain black tee and gray slim jeans - not the best swimming wear. However, he did kick off his shoes and socks, and rolling up his jeans to just below his knees, he put a foot in the water. "Damn that's cold," he said, quickly getting out and sitting crosslegged on the grassy bank. It was more lukewarm really - Henry called a heated pool cold.
Christina laughed at Odori's attempt to leave. "I don't think so," she said. She turned to Cameron though. "I suppose he could stay too if that'd make you feel better about it. But keep in mind that I'm going to be here also." She gave the campers a look.
Seeing her opportunity to participate in socializing Ayumi moved up next to Vic. "Alright, let's go. I think we should head back to the cafeteria and see if we can spot them from there." With that she started down the path, checking to see if the others were following a little self-consciously.

Cameron watched as Odori slumped back onto the bed. "Thanks, I will, if that's okay with Odori. But are you sure she couldn't just stay until dinner?" he asked the nurse, after squeamishly watching the make-shift operation. He could tell that Odori couldn't leave yet, but perhaps she would be better soon enough to eat, and then retire to her cabin like everyone else. That way, he could be with her the whole time, too. He felt like he should be, and that he was partly responsible for what happened to her.
"Alright," Isabella said, thinking of her unpacked bags in her cabin. She supposed they would go there later. Walking after Ayumi, she squinted, trying her best to look through the trees next to the cabin. "I think I see one of their rides parked over there, but I'm not sure. Wouldn't there be two?" she asked, looking at her roommate and the boys inquisitively. It didn't occur to her that a 4-wheeler would break down or one of them would crash.

"But it is still suspicious and I absolutely hate cops." Heading back to the shore Rain laughed, "It doesn't feel that cold but what do I know. I am always warm." When the water was about waist deep she stood and started to walk out. Her clothes clung even after she untied her shirt that hid the old wounds. In truth many were her own fault, accidents from when she had tried to get away instead of just taking it. The many discolorations and depending on the severity indents on her were the only things that distorted her smooth skin. Wringing out her hair she flopped down onto the grass next to him, "So you don't swim you don't look like the run 50 miles because I can type. So what do you do for fun?" Twisting at the waist she picked up her papers from behind her sticking them without order back into her sketch book and setting it safely next to her on the opposite side from Henry before looking back to him as she stopped talking.

Henry shrugged. "I usually do boring normal teenage stuff I guess," he admitted. "Spend way too much time on the computer, listen to music, doodle, that sort of thing." He paused for a moment. "Sorry, I guess I'm not very interesting," he apologized. Immediately he felt stupid for saying that. He wracked his brains for something to clever to say, but was at a complete loss.
Christina shook her head. "No, I don't want to risk her injury getting worse. One of us can go and get dinner for her later." She turned to Odori, still waiting to see if she wanted Cameron to stay.
Ayumi frowned at seeing the quad by itself. "Do you think one of them got lost or something?" she asked no one in particular. "It's pretty weird that there's only one - and it's not put away."

"Na. Wish I could do all of that stuff. I feel so weird. I don't even own a computer. I was not allowed to have a job and they wouldn't buy me one. It all seems interesting to me." Rain grinned to him running a hand through her sopping hair to get it away from her face. The single person she used to know who knew about her past had once asked her how she could still smile but she had just shrugged. Though Rain was practically an adult her eyes would still glitter with the child like wonder and curiosity that never seemed to faded. Falling back onto the grass she sighed lost in a moment of day dreaming if she had been born to a different family. Snapping back to the world, "So what is there to do on the computer and out in the real world?"

She hesitated, wondering if she should accept the offer. On the one hand, it would be nice to have some company other than this odd nurse, on the other hand, she really didn't want to be a burden. Looking down at her hands, Odori hesitated for only a moment before letting her selfish desires win. Grinning up at him even though she was begining to feel the affects of the stictching now, "If you don't mind, I'd really like that."
Alex followed them out, watching how Ayumi moved to walk beside Vic with amusement. He stayed behind and walked with Isabelle, following her gaze as it landed on the one empty quad. He didn't want to admit it, but just the sight of it made him nervous and he quickened his pace. "C'mon, somethings probably happened. They've gotta be around here somewhere."

Vic walked forward and followed all the others' gaze through the trees and to the quad sitting there. He wasn't exactly sure of what was going on, but by how the others were acting, he knew it wasn't good. Keeping silent for now, he decided that he would just observe for a few minutes, and not say anything until he knew exactly what was going on. He was a little worried himself, even though he didn't know the people that something happened to- if something happened.

Cameron smiled a little guiltily down at Odori, laying on the bed still. It was her fault he was there, in a way. "Of course I don't mind. I'll bring you dinner later, too," he said, looking to the nurse as he finished. He was glad she had accepted, otherwise he would have felt even more guilty than he already did, deserting her with the sharp-looking nurse in the cold room.
"Yeah," Isabella said, quickening so that she would keep Alex's pace as she walked beside him. They walked past the cluster of trees and saw the vehicle standing alone, with mud splatters on it. "That's definitely not a good sign," she said, walking towards it. "I hope they're both okay." She frowned.

Henry was surprised at Rain's reaction from his mundane lifestyle. He smiled to himself. "Well, I sometimes type up stories, I take quizzes online and talk with my friends. That kind of thing. What do you mean by the 'real world'?" He made air quotes with his fingers. He wasn't sure how Rain's life was, but it was obvious by now that her parents kept her on a leash.
It was a second before Ayumi realized that Vic had no idea what was going on. "Two of the campers took the quads out in the woods," she explained. "Unless one broke quad down and they drove back together, or something's really wrong here." She glanced around, searching fruitlessly for Cameron and Odori. "If anyone was hurt, they would probably go to the nurse. Should we check her office?"
Christina nodded. "Okay then. That's settled." She gave a rare smile. Though she hadn't thought about it when she had suggested it, Cameron staying with Odori was quite a nice arrangement for her. She straightened her jacket and gave a nod. "Cameron, tell me if she starts bleeding excessively - I might need to bandage her up again." With that she headed further into her office through a door that led to her small bedroom. She picked up a radio that was hidden under her bed. "Benji, Clarissa, we have to campers staying in my office tonight." She didn't want the two counselors thinking Cameron and Odori had run off.

Cameron winced as she spoke of blood. He didn't exactly hate seeing it, but it certainly wasn't his favorite thing to look for. As the nurse walked off, he noticed her smile, but thought nothing of it, other than that it looked strange on her face. Shaking the thought from his mind, he pulled a chair up next to Odori. "So... how are you feeling?" he asked, trying to make light conversation, if she was feeling well enough to do so.
"I guess," Isabella said. "Hospitals aren't exactly something I like though." She twisted a curl around her finger, biting her lip. "I hope we don't find them there, even if they did get my clothes dirty." They weren't exactly her favorite people, but Isabella didn't want to see anyone get hurt, or worse, die.

Rain listened with interest before blushing a little at how pathetic her own life was, "Well I mean what real people do. I never really go out much. There are a lot of rules in my house. Mostly stupid things like, I couldn't leave until 5 minutes before school and I had 10 minutes to get home. I could never have people over not that people talked to me much anyway." Shrugging her shoulders she didn't know there was anything wrong in her life because she had no comparison just like she thought she was weak for trying to escape her parents. She just didn't know different.

A shudder ran down her spine as she saw the nurse smile, though she wasn't really sure why. She was glad that Cameron had decided to stay, though she felt guilty for asking him to stay here when she knew he didn't really want to. She stared up at the ceiling blankly for a few moments, before glancing over at him as he pulled a chair up. "I'm fine," she mumbled, embarrassed for some reason.
"C'mon, the nurses office is over by the main hall." He began to make his way there, silently hoping that everything was alright. Though he knew that Vic had yet to meet the two, he felt no need to speak, seeing as Ayumi had filled him in on what was going on already. Though Isabella seemed lessed than pleased ealier for their actions, he could see the worry lining his face, and he couldn't help but offer up a gentle smile to try and comfort her. "I'm sure they're alright."

"That sucks," Henry said. His eloquence never ceased to astound him. "My parents aren't that harsh. As long as I say where I'm going, who I'm with, and what I'm doing and they can call me every ten minutes." He laughed a little, though his parents really did call him almost that often. He stared straight ahead at the river, watching it churn. It was weird, not having his cell phone or iPod with him. His phone was always in one pocket, his iPod in the other, and his notebook in a back pocket. It was a weird thing to miss.
Ayumi glanced backward to see Alex smile at Isabella. She turned back around quickly and smiled to herself. It didn't last long though - she was concerned about Cameron and Odori. They reached the nurse's office. Ayumi tried the door and it opened easily. She saw Odori lying on a bed, Cameron sitting next to her. From this angle she couldn't see anything wrong. "What happened?" she asked, walking quickly over. She then saw the bandage on Odori's head. "Omigod, what happened?"
