Chapter 20: The Woods

Soon after, the sedan dropped them off at a dimly-lit wooded area. Yellow-tinted lampposts illuminated a sign reading “Moraine Park Campground,” but there were no tents or RVs in sight. “I'm dropping you here because I don't want to arouse suspicion by coming any closer,” the driver said as he turned off his headlights and handed a flashlight to Tierra. “Your gear is in the trunk. Your camping spot is A18, about a quarter mile ahead. Try not to wake anyone up at this hour.”

Kay and Holly mumbled farewells to the driver before climbing out and helping Tierra with their supplies. In the trunk was a backpack, a duffel bag, and a tent in a giant, heavy bag. Kay shouldered the tent bag and followed Tierra down the road, and Holly followed a moment later, lugging the duffel bag from the trunk in addition to her own.

The sedan turned around and trundled off, and the trio of mages was plunged into darkness as its headlights disappeared. Then Tierra flicked on the flashlight and kept walking, pointing her flashlight toward the ground as much as possible. Kay and Holly silently followed, their footsteps shuffling as they navigated the uneven road.

There was a crackling sound somewhere behind Kay, and she froze, her stomach somersaulting. Tierra whirled around, her mouth open as if to cast a spell. Kay glanced over her shoulder, too terrified to turn around fully.

Holly turned around as well and let out a small shriek. A raccoon sat perched on the edge of the road, its tiny hands clasped to its mouth as if it was just as scared of them as they were of him.

Tierra sighed, and as Kay's heart rate began to return to normal, the raccoon scampered off. Holly turned back around and began walking, her face flushed yet resolute.

Kay and Tierra followed, but as Kay lugged the duffel bag along, she wondered what they were getting themselves into.

----------------------------------------------------

They set up their tent and collapsed inside, sprawling out over their sleeping bags in the late summer haze. By the time Kay opened her eyes again, the sun was far overhead, and Holly had set up a small picnic outside. To the right of their tent, the land was engulfed by trees; to their left, other campers meandered about, in no particular hurry to be anywhere. It would be relaxing, if they weren't in the middle of such a strange assignment, Kay thought as she waved to Holly.

“Morning,” Holly said. “How're you feeling?”

Kay squinted in the sunlight. “Kinda stiff. You? And where's Tierra?”

“I slept like shit. Tierra went for a walk. Should be back soon.” Holly glanced over her shoulder before striding toward the tent and squatting in front of Kay. “We're gonna take turns patrolling this area. The guys who drowned were staying at campsite A28, not far from here. If we can find something…”

She trailed off, and Kay nodded. “Got it. Are we going anywhere as a group?” Kay asked.

“Nope.” Holly glanced over her shoulder again.
