The night had passed and Reloaded, Garibaldi, Nicto10, Jake, and Seifer awoke. Everyone was hungry so they started making breakfast. Reloaded and Garibaldi went to gather firewood, Jake got some food ready to cook, and Seifer kept his eyes on the road in case any cars came by. Nicto couldn’t do much because of his ankle, so he just sat and relaxed.

As Reloaded and Garibaldi gathered the firewood they talked about things to get their minds off the strange occurrences that had been going on.

"So what are your hobbies Reloaded?" asked Garibaldi.

"Well, I like to play video games and hang with my buddies and go t--AAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaa!!!" Reloaded’s sentence was interrupted by a scream of terror.

Reloaded and Garibaldi ran back to the campsite to see that there were wolves attacking the dead body of dk16. Jake and Seifer were safe up in a tree, but there was no hope for Nicto10. Reloaded and Garibaldi watched as the wolves circled around Nicto and pounced on him. They could hear the sound of the flesh ripping from the bone and the howling screams of pain coming from Nicto. It was over in a few seconds. Nicto was dead.

Then the wolves turned and looked at Reloaded and Garibaldi who were just standing there, traumatized by what they had just seen. The wolves slowly began approaching them. Garibaldi hit Reloaded on the shoulder, and then the two of them turned around and began running for their lives.

Jake and Seifer watched as their two friends ran off into the forest. "We gotta go and help them," Seifer said. The two climbed out of the tree and ran after Reloaded and Garibaldi.

Meanwhile, back at the other campsite, the group had come back from searching and found the note that Garibaldi had left.

"RRRrrrr!!! THOSE TRAITORS! They left us!" yelled SuperCLG.

"Should we go after them?" asked Vivec.

"No, forget them," said SuperCLG in an angry voice.

"Maybe we can find a forest ranger’s station if we follow the river?" suggested Cheeza.

"Good idea," said Voght.

"NO!" yelled Bongo17, "My friends are out there by themselves. I don’t know about you, but I’m going to go look for them."

"I’ll come with you,” said Flaris.

"Me too!" said jkjace.

So the two groups went their separate ways. One group took all the coolers and followed the river. The other one stayed and looked for clues to try to find out where Garibaldi, Reloaded, and the 3 others had gone. Bongo17 noticed a set of tire tracks that led off the road.

"The tracks lead this way," said Bongo17.

"They must have gone back to the old campsite," said Flaris.

Bongo17, Flaris, and jkjace began the long walk back to the old campsite...

Reloaded and Garibaldi ran as fast as they could. They saw a big tree up ahead -- a tree big enough that the wolves wouldn’t be able to get them.

"Climb the tree!” Reloaded shouted to Garibaldi.

They climbed the tree as fast as they could. The wolves surrounded the tree, growling and snarling.

Reloaded said, "Looks like we're gonna be here for awhile."

Suddenly Jake and Seifer ran out from the bushes howling and screaming and throwing sticks and stones, scaring the wolves away from the tree and back into the woods. Reloaded and Garibaldi climbed out of the big tree.

"Thanks a lot you guys."

"Yeah, you really saved our hides," they said with a look of relief on their faces.

"Um, where are we?" asked Jake.

"Oh, man, now we're lost," said Seifer.

The group had been following the river for a whole day now with no sign of a ranger station. Everyone was tired and wanted a break.

"Fine, we’ll rest for half an hour," said SuperCLG.

"We're gonna go do some fishing a bit downstream," said Cheeza and Mocha, “After all, that is why we came on this camping trip..."

"Fine," said SuperCLG, "Just make sure you're back in half an hour or I’m leaving without you."

"'K!" said Cheeza and Mocha, and they ran off to start fishing.

It had been 5 minutes since Cheeza and Mocha had cast their lines into the water. Mocha had a bite.

"YES! I got one!” Mocha screamed in excitement. He was having trouble reeling it in. "Must be a big one," he said excitedly.

Just then, Mocha was pulled into the river fishing rod and all. Cheeza screamed in horror as she saw the water get red with blood. She ran back to where the others were resting and told them what had happened.

Bongo17, flaris, and jkjace had finally reached the old campsite, but they didn’t like what they saw. The dead bodies of DK and Nicto10 were sitting there all slashed and torn up.

"There’s the cooler,” said jkjace, trying to get everyone's attention off of the 2 bodies.

"Yeah, there’s the cooler, but where is everyone else?” asked flaris.
