An entire end of year camping trip. It was destined to be exciting and fun. No school, no finals, and no drama. Just a week in the warm Spring air with the excitement of Summer not far behind. For Titainia, however, things were not as exciting.
"An entire Summer with the most boring Grandmother on Earth! All she does is ramble on about magical powers and creatures and villains! And she pretends like they're real!" She told her friends.
"That's not so bad. At least you get free time." Said Emelia, who spent every Summer doing her favorite sport, horse riding.
"I'm going back to Switzerland for the Summer." Said Rishi, who was another friend of hers. He spent a lot of time reading and playing piano.
"That's cool. I don't know what I'm doing." Said Tye, the comedian of the group. He was sitting next to his friends, Jolly Major and Milo.
"I know. I love my grandma, she just puts a lot of faith in her stories." Titainia laughed. "She even told my mom she didn't want me to go to Blackmere Camp because thats where her friends were taken. It's pretty crazy, right?"
"Titainia, what is the story?" Asked Roberto.
"Well, my grandma said that her and her friends went on this kind of trip to Blackmere. She said that the counselors were super nice, and the food was great. But then when they spilt into groups, her group was taken to a stoned place in the middle of the forest. They went underground and fought a bunch of monsters or something like that. Everyone except her and Grandpa died, but when they got back up, no one remembered them except for the school computers, which is why they could still stay in the dorms at Rosemary. She said no yearbooks, nothing. Her parents didn't even remember her. But her and Grandpa were registered for full ride scholarships, which they hadn't been." She finished. "It's crazy right? Mom claims they were just orphans, but dad kinda believes them."
"It sounds like an excuse for losing her yearbooks." Said Milo, eating some food.
"Its kinda creepy though." Said Jolly.
"Kinda, but not really." Said Racheal.
"She also mentioned a bunch of powers her friends had gotten. But she said they're all in the cavern."
The bus arrived, and it was time for group assignments and lunch. Tatainia and he friends were all in one group. This was also their lunch group. The food was delicious. Titainia could have sworn that hot dogs didn't taste that good. She looked at the counselors, who seemed to be planning events.
"Blue group, come with me for your nature walk!" She yelled.
The scenery was beautiful. But something was off. They were far into the woods. Very far.
Then Titainia saw the stones and thought outloud, "Maybe my grandma isn't crazy."
"Tell me, Titainia Vernanda," Said the counselor. "How is your grandmother? I hope she's well, because she is the only one who will remember you. Too bad you didn't believe her story." Then, everything went black.
'Why is it so hot?' Thought Titainia. She looked around and realized. "Guys, get up! We're in a lava pit!"
