Camp Zero Romane & Geschichten

I grab the table and steady myself. Another push hits my head. Not pain. Intent. Warning. I push the door open and step outside and the cold air slaps me awake. The camp is fully up. Every adult is outside. Every single one. They’re standing in a loose line, shoulder to shoulder, facing the trees. No one is talking. No one is relaxed. Everyone looks ready to snap. Mom stands near the middle. Kael is close to her and Varek is a step ahead of everyone else. As always

Can you ask Dad to see if they will let us start later? Mum: Your father ran it past James as soon as he got off the phone with the Dean. You can all start camp on the 4th. Me: Thank the goddess. We’ll all be there then, please. Max too. I don’t bother messaging Max to check before confirming. I know the one person he’d never flake on is Zahra. He’s as desperate to see her as the rest of us. “Dad’s cleared it with King James. We start camp on the 4th.”

She must be reminded. My chest tightens. “Reminded of what?” Kade asks quietly. I don’t answer right away. Because I already know. “Us,” I say. Silence stretches heavy between us.

“I’m half-expecting Alex to start sleeping in his boots.” “Where’s the camp?” I asked, casually. She told me the location – it wasn’t far, but it sat on the edge of a wide stretch of protected woodland. Beautiful, sure, but open. Something tightened in my chest. “You’re going with them, right?” “No, it’s a drop-off.” She replied, grabbing another cup. “Counselors will be there. Parents get a full weekend off.” I raised an eyebrow. “You’re just… dropping them off in the woods with strangers?”

And up till the last person. “Nice to meet you all, I’ll get to know your names as time goes on, although I’ll remember a few now. Anyway, I am Chara Worth, Thirty two. I am your team leader. We have an urgent assignment that needs our attendance, so right now, we are headed to Campbell Hospital where there will be a press conference. Be alert and under your best behavior. Understood?” “Yes ma’am!” “Let’s go.” They all file into the vans, Chara getting into the one at the front and they all leave from OESC to Campbell which is about twenty minutes away.

" One of the girls said and others agreed with her. Ciara sighed. She was at the brink of tears knowing where she would be. "You know what, girls? Just....go. Return to your blocks." She said and turned away while the girls all went away. "What's all these? I can't take this anymore!", She wept and took off, running into the darkness. * * The next morning,the Sky Squared compound became so crowded, with people walking to and fro, getting ready for camp which was taken place in a City name Blaze. It was actually a place created by the past leaders. And it has been chosen for the camp location.

“Zoe!” Jim quickly caught Teri by the shoulders, cursing himself to be more careful. “No,” he reassured her. “Not Zoe. The kids’ camps are all south and west of town. Nearby. Because, you know, kids. We try to keep them close to home and medical care. This is out in Arches.” Feeling her relax, he rose. Facing her again, he fastened his shorts. “Do me a favor and skip the run today, okay?” “What? Why?”

he called as they climbed onto the bus. The girls waved through the windows until the diner faded from view. …… Camp Ravenpine – Deep in the Woods of Cold Valley town,.. Later that afternoon, Kevin's car pulled up near the rustic wooden cabins nestled between thick pine trees. Teenagers milled about the clearing, stretching and hauling duffel bags from buses. “Welcome to Camp Ravenpine of Cold Valley!” a cheerful counselor called out. “Your phones will stay locked away until the final day after the two weeks end! Get ready for teamwork, survival skills, and zero cell signal!”

~Trixie’s Point of View~ I awoke with my whole body nearly thrown off the seat, and I lurched forward. The bus was stopped at a large gate with a sign overhead that simply read “Camp New Moon.” The camp was founded by the first Drexel to hold the throne and each Queen has made it her life’s work to ensure all shifter pups have an equal and fair start in life.
