Author's note:

This piece is an extrodinary adventure. It teaches you how to overcome your diffrences and why some circumstances don't need to be taken as a joke. 

  Two camps called Camp Hester and Camp Champion are rivals.They are both summer camps that happen on the same exact dates. They compete over campers and campsites. Camp champion had swimming pools and cabins while Camp Hester had tents and a lake. Every year the camps had a competition and it consisted of swimming, archery, and rope climbing. A girl named Bailey from camp Hester thinks Camp Champion rigs the rope climbing. “Lately camp champion has made it harder on us” Amilia stated.

“We lose every year, last year Olivia shouted don't look down and Bailey fell” Terrance whispered to Billy

Olivia laughed “once again she can’t climb the rope.”

          After she felt like she had let everyone down, Bailey ran into the woods. Campers at Camp Hester went to search for her, after an hour of searching it was no longer daylight.


                    “ZOMBIES” Garrett had blurted out.


       The rest of camp Hester took it as a joke but, not Harley.

         

Olivia stepped up to Harley and gasped “oh my we’re all gonna die”

All jokes aside, Harley returns to the group of campers and shouts

“have you seen Bailey yet?”

“No” the campers murmur.

The group leaders name was Ryan. He had brown hair and green eyes.

He came running down the path we were on and he yells“are you guys okay? I heard screaming”.

“Yes we’re fine” Harley murmured

About an hour later Bailey shows up.

Garrett states“Bailey, where have you been? Are you okay”

“I'm fine, but have you seen anything strange lately?” Harley quickly states

“no unless you count Olivia”

. A while has passed now and the campers are heading back to camp hester. They’re worn out and tired of walking, but once they get there they’re in for a surprise. Camp Champion trashed their campgrounds tents are ripped, and all of their food is scattered.   They aren't sure what to do, Ryan is shocked.


                   “why would people do such nonsense?”

 

                         “what do we do?” cried Bailey

They began to clean up and all the sudden they hear a growling sound…

“did you hear that?” Garett asked.

“It’s probably just Camp Champion messing with us” Ryan blurted out.

He wasn’t quite sure what it was but, the noise began to grow louder. He started to panic, he grabbed his flashlight and when he discovered what it was he started to back away slowly.

“Uh, kids… grab your things and slowly walk towards camp champion” Ryan whispered

“why? What’s going on?”

Ryan pointed the flashlight at the object and this time when                             Garett yelled “zombie”

he was being serious. The kids from camp Hester panic, the zombie is slowly but surely making its way to them.

                            Bailey screams “ run!!”

and they all take off and take the short trail to camp champion. They hear loud noises, just like the noise at the campground. Bailey turns around and bumps into Olivia.


                             “What’s going on ?” Olivia urged

“our camp was trashed and we heard loud noises from the woods and when Ryan shined the light it was a zombie” Harley stuttered

“ I figured oh you’re fool of it, are you trying to prank us  because you aren’t very good at it ” Olivia bellowed

They begin to hear noises and this time they lose someone, they hadn't seen Ryan for a while and when he finally shows up a zombie attacks him and they have other choice but to kill him. Camp Champion wanted nothing to do with Camp Hester and they thought they could survive on their own. A week or two has passed and they hadn’t heard anything about Camp Champion. “We’ve lost three people so far and we can't risk to lose anymore” Garett sighed.

“Does anyone know of a safe place? We need to get out of the open” Bailey insisted

They begin the journey to search for a safe place, not sure as to what’s going to happen…..


         They find a neighborhood and they think it’s clear,

     “let’s look around for things we can use” Bailey demanded.

They look around and as they are looking they spot another group of people

“is that Camp Champion?” Garett asked

“Yeah, I think it is” Bailey declared

They walk over to Olivia and ask

“what happened to the rest of your group?”

“ They all got attacked it just me and a couple others, i’m sorry for everything i’ve done to you guys but do you think we could be friends?” Olivia apologized

Bailey and Garrett didn’t know what to think but,  they needed some of the supplies that they had.

“We forgive you, but what made you reconsider?” Bailey babbled. “I don’t know, we have lost so many people and we never wanted to be enemies we just didn’t want to disappoint our camp leader” Olivia consoled.

They’ve built a shelter and gathered supplies and now they’re going to wait it out. They’ve found new people and they are all learning to work together.

“It seems like this is never ending” Bailey cried.

“That’s because it is” Olivia exclaimed

. After this conversation the campers were never seen again. The apocalypse ended a few months later around October 23, 2007.The rumors are that they all passed and their souls linger the air of the camps.. To this day campers from Camp Champion and Camp Hester tell this story and it’s on going.
