Chapter 5 Setting Up The Campsite
- Chapter 5
- After fifteen minutes of trucking around in the woods, Camile found a large clearing for everyone to set up their tents. Glancing back to find Pierre's location. She flagged him down, waiting for him to join her. “Pierre, what do you think about this location?” she yelled.
- The field had an abundance of wide grass that reached slightly above the ankle. Moist green grass glimmered in the sunlight, softly swaying in the breeze. Between the blades popped out tiny flowers of various colours. No one could deny the beauty of this location. It was small but perfect for what the group would need. The amazing part of this location, there didn't seem to be any stones or debris that would be in the way of setting up a group of tents.
- One by one, everybody met up at the location where Camile was.
- “This is where we are going to set up the tents?” Markous declared. “Everyone placed their gear in the location they planned on setting up their tents.”
- “I was asking the professional not a wantabe!” Camile glared with irritation towards Markous.
- Pierre grinned as he studied the landscape, “it is relatively flat land, this should do!”
- Markous was the first person to walk into the field; as he passed Pierre, he whispered something unrecognizable to anyone but himself.
- "Don't set up your tent!" Pierre whispered into Merna’s ear, “we are going to share a tent, I am getting a horrible feeling in my gut. We should have never come here!” He patted Merna's shoulder before he led the way to the perfect place to set up a tent.
- Merna harshly whispered, “the second we walked past the bear marking, someone has been watching us. I have a feeling we are being hunted.” Merna glanced over at Emma, “when I was helping Emma, I could not help but feel like someone was listening to every word I was saying.”
- Merna began to get everything organized to set up the tent.
- Pierre got his two-man tent out of its bag and started to get everything ready. “I have made many shitty choices in my life, I think this one is going to come in the first place.” Pierre motioned his head towards the tree line. "I swear something has been following us as well!"
- Merna grabbed one side of the tent while Pierre guided the rod toward Merna. “I will finish here and then see if anyone needs help! It appears that Steve isn’t having any issues with getting his tent up. Look! He is already finished!”
- One minute later, Pierre and Merna had the tent up. “Do you think you can finish up from here?” Pierre asked Merna as he stood up fully.
- Merna nodded her head, “Go! I am going to place up the wards, search the location for firewood and you know the rest of the deal.”
- "Steve!" Pierre yelled as he strolled over to where Steve was, “Are you ready to go and get the food?”
- Looking in the direction of which his name was being yelled from. "EH!" Steve glanced over his shoulder, “Sure thing, give me five minutes, I am helping Camile, she needs help with the tent!”
- Pierre nodded once in understanding, “Eh Camile let me take over!” Pierre took what was in Camile's hand from her.
- Camile stepped to the side, allowing Pierre and Steve to put up the tent she would use. Then, while the guys were finishing off, Camile used the pegs to peg the tent into the ground.
- Steve clapped his hands together as he studied Camile and Pierre, “are you ready to go and get the food?”
- “I am ready when you are!” Pierre motioned his arm to the direction that had come to this location.
- With no time to waste Camile got the sleeping bag into the tent and set all the items up so that she would be relatively comfortable.
- “After I finish here should I go and get firewood?” Camile asked Pierre before he started to walk away.
- Pierre bellowed across the way, “Merna, do you think you can make sure everyone helps out Camile gather more wood for a fire tonight?”
- Merna answered Pierre with a thumbs up, “I am going to take Bronks with me!”
- Merna wasted no time in telling the rest of the group what needed to be done as Pierre and Steve started to stroll in the direction of where the vehicles were parked.
- Steve and Pierre were at the tree line when they could hear yelling. Both of them stopped in their tracks, pivoting so that they could see the scene play itself out.
- Steve snickered as he could hear Markous yell at Merna that he wouldn’t be doing women’s work. Pierre chuckled as Merna retorted back to his remark, “don’t mess with a witch, bitch! I could make you have erectile dysfunction for the rest of your life if I so choose!”
- Steve could not stop himself from chuckling, “is that possible?”
- Pierre turned around and headed further into the forest with Steve close behind.
- They were further into the woods, “I don’t think Merna could cause Markous to have erectile dysfunction! But, then again, Merna has done many odd things that I do not question, so I would not put this past her abilities!” Pierre paused momentarily, “don’t anger her, not while I am around!”
- Steve stopped walking, “are you scared of her?”
- Pierre looked Steve in the eyes, “there are things that she should not know or see and yet she does. My mother once said never get in the way of a seer. They can either save your life or destroy it.”
- Steve continued walking, “I will keep that in mind. I don’t believe in that shit, but anyone that is willing to tell Markous off, I have to respect.”
- Pierre started to chuckle, “you’re scared of your brother?”
- Steve shook his head, "I find it is easier to do what he wants, that way I don't have to hear his belly acking."
