Horror Camping Trip

     

The day has finally come that we're going to have our own trip. Me, Maine and Rhan are the best friends of all. We planned so many time to go on the best friends trip but it was always postponed as we are still focusing on our studies and our parents didn't allow us to go. I can't still believe it that we are truly having this day. 

 The smile hasn't wiped off in our face since we found out the good news. What's surprising is that our parents set this trip. They discussed and talked to each other. Well, haven't I told you that my parents and Maine's and Rhan's parents are best friends too? Amazing isn't it?. Curiously, I asked them what changed their minds to let us have our dreamed trip because I know that they are really strict to me. And they said that life is full of stressful and gloomy moments so mind to enjoy our teen life first before we go through the hole of problems. I never asked again. Too much joy was flowing into my blood.
We packed up things we needed. From the small and easy things such as 
hygienic and clothes to the biggest necessity which is the vehicle that we're going to use, the jeep. I don't know what model this is but I know it is a jeep. Rhan is in her legal age and so as she has her own license already. She's the driver.  

From start to finish of our road trip, we've been singing all the way. Laugh here, tease there. It's pure happiness. After the long ride, we halted. We have to walk 3 miles because vehicles can't go in. Wasn't a good idea but worth it. Seeing trees and plants makes me feel safe. The place, it was a forest and it gives me an eerie feeling but I still choose to go because it might be just a negative first impression.

 And I was right. I was right that it's just my intuition. The forest was actually the place I would like to go. The sounds of the birds chirping as they fly through above our heads. Nearby was the river that proudly shows its crystal clear water and its calmness that blends with the ambiance of the forest. The natural sounds that truly shows me the world; plugging me out of the toxic dimension of society. We spent all of the daytime doing activities such as hiking, sight-seeing, animal observing, gather the woods for later and built the tent.
        
 The night took over the daylight. Enthusiastically, we hurriedly bunched up together and surrounded the bonfire. We, trios, love to express our secret and dreams together. But that time shooked the tree of us when Maine had revealed something.

"Something was going on my mind for a while." Maine had her start off.                           
" Is it about studying? If that's the case, please not now " I mockingly said.                     
 "I've been wanting to tell you this but I know you would've freaked out. There's a hungry thing inside me that wants to tell my biggest hidden truth." she continued as she ignored me.                                                              

 "You sounds like absolutely horrific right now."  Rhan nervously uttered.                           
Maine smiled and you can sense the hesitation in her eyes but she is desperate to reveal her secret. " I have a third eye." popping out the bubble of her secret and it's now the truth is released.                                                   

 We fell silent, But she kept on going.                                 

" I was born with this and ever since I can see something that a normal person can't. I hated it when I realized that this ability of mine is that me seeing creatures that are so awful and frightful. Until the time came that I just have to embrace it and just let it be. I still hate it but I feel sad that those what I see are lost souls and I can't help them." still we are in awe.   
      
 " Even here in this forest, I can see new lost souls but I don't want to say it to you because it would spoil the camp and trip" she confessed. We looked up to each other and ran to the tent. Not minding the foods that we left beside the bonfire.

We didn't sleep that night until in the morning. The two of us, Rhan and me, didn't grasp the revelation at first yet we managed to ask for more information about Maine's ability. We were so close to each other and there was a time that I have to pee but I can't go outside alone so we together slowly walked outside the dark. Cowardly, we entered the tent again as we heard something in the bush. 


   That day will be remembered as it was the creepiest time of my life,
