《The Doll Family》Chapter 2
Advertisement
The next morning, Kiara woke up and had almost forgotten about the figure outside until she had opened the blinds. It was nothing right? Maybe she would tell one of the counselors. Maybe that would help soothe her nerves. As everyone in her cabin walked out to head o the mess hall for breakfast, she asked the counselor that was assigned to her cabin if she could talk with her about something.
"I think I saw someone out late at night, far past bedtime hours.... I don't know who it was though."
"Oh, well I'm sure it's nothing. It was probably some student sneaking around for fun or a counselor or teacher patrolling. I'm sure it was nothing important."
The counselor smiled and Kiara and pushed her to go join her group for breakfast. Despite the counselor's reassurance, she still felt nervous. She wanted to brush it off as nothing but she simply couldn't. Maybe talking to her friends would help. But who? Definitely not Clara as it would freak her out even more. What about Amy, Kane, or Eli? Maybe not, she wasn't sure if they would take her seriously. That left Mikey then. After grabbing food you sat down next to Mikey.
"Can we talk? In private?"
"Sure!", Mikey replied with a mouth full of food.
"Sooooo, what's this about?"
"Okay... Last night I saw this dark figure standing outside our cabin. I know it's dumb but I'm kinda freaked out a bit. I'm pretty sure it looked at me. I know it's just some kid or counselor, but I'm still worried."
"Oh, well it's not dumb. I would be worried too."
"You don't think it is?"
"Nope!", Mikey chuckled. What's dumb is the fact that I fell out of bed this morning. And I'm not even on the top bunk!" Kiara gave a small laugh. Mikey always knew how to bring a smile to her face. "Look", Mikey said taking her hands. "You'll be fine. Don't let what was probably some dumb guy ruin your fun. If you want I could switch bunks with you do you wouldn't be able to see out the window as easily." Kiara hugged the boy. "That's fine, but thank you Mikey, really. It means a lot to me"
After they had eaten, Kiara, Clara, and Amy were heading to the bathhouse to take a shower and get changed. Even though each cabin had its own little bathroom, there were a few bathhouses that had multiple toilets, showers, sinks, and even changing rooms. "Oh! I forgot my clothes! I'll be back!", Kiara said turning to head back to the cabin. "I'll come with!", Amy added. As the two entered the cabin, the sound of a door being slammed shut made Kiara jump. She turned around to see Amy with a smirk plastered onto her face. "So... you and Michael huh?" Kiara gave her a confused look. Rolling her eyes Amy walked closer to the other girl. "Come on Kiara, the private talk, the laughing, the hugs?"

"We were just talking, it wasn't anything serious. Now come on, or we won't have time to shower or change."
"Awww, well alright if you say so, but I'll definitely be watching you two from now on."
Kiara's POV
Did Amy really think that I liked Mikey? I mean yes he was sweet, kind, funny, and caring, but it's not like we could ever be a thing. Could we. Sighing I headed over to what the camp called their plaza. It was a place where everyone could gather and stuff. We were heading there now to get our schedules assigned. Hopefully we would all get to be together. After a lot of confusion and waiting we finally had our schedules. Luckily we would all be together. Here's what our schedule looked like:
9:00am-9:10am: Time to get up!
9:10am-10:00am: Breakfast/Shower
10:00am-11:15am: Activity 1
11:15am-12:30pm: Activity 2
12:30pm-1:00pm: Lunch
1:00pm-2:00pm: Siesta/Downtime
2:00pm-3:15pm: Activity 3
3:15pm-4:30pm: Activity 4
4:30pm-5:45pm: Activity 5
5:45-6:20pm: Dinner
6:20pm-8:20pm: Free Time
8:20pm-9:00pm: Shower/Get ready for bed
9:00pm-10:30pm: Downtime
10:30: Bedtime
Same as usual. I really liked this camp because you some free time to relax as well as let you have electronics. Plus it was one of the few camps that allowed boys and girls to be in the same cabin. It took basically the whole first activity period to get everything sorted out. So onto the second activity which we decided would be archery. We got into our groups and headed to the archery field. This area was inside camp boundaries but not inside the main ones. After hearing the explanation we all took our turns shooting. I had done this before so I was knew how to work it. It also happened to be the one sport I was fairly decent at. After lunch we went back to our cabins for a Siesta. I tried to take a nap but the demon twins Bella and Benjamin kept purposely being loud so I instead joined in on a game of UNO with my friends instead. The next activities were pretty fun. horseback riding and first aid. Our last activity of the day was swimming.
I was peaceful floating on my back when all of a sudden a heavy weight jumped onto my stomach and pulled me underneath the waters surface. I panicked flailing my limbs and ended up hitting something in the process. I stabilized myself and after rubbing my eyes I saw Eli.
"What the heck Eli!? You could've drowned me!"
"Oh calm down Kiara, I wasn't gonna let you die or anything."
"Sure you weren't.", I responded by splashing him in the face.

"Hey, cut that out! I already got basically kicked in the face oh you.", he said before disappearing underwater and slithering off to go bother someone else.
I sighed before returning to float on my back. Looking up I watched the clouds go by. I yawned. I probably needed to turn over and start swimming before I feel and asleep and had another panic attack. Too late. I felt a pair of arms grab me. I shrieked and started flailing again.
"Calm down, it's just me. I'm sorry if I scared you."
Moving to look behind me I saw Mikey, with his arms wrapped around my waist. I blushed and just stared at him awkwardly. "Uhhh, so are you alright?", he asked giving an equally awkward look back. "Uhhh, yeah I guess", I responded. "Oh, uh okay then, well uh it's almost time to get out. Just thought I'd let you know or something.", he said as he released me and swam off. It took me awhile to react before I turned my head away only to see Amy with a sly smile on her face raising her eyebrows at me.
Authors POV
He was seething. He felt his intensely blood boil. The images of HIM holding her while they were swimming. The way he put his arm around her and pulled her towards him. The boy who wore a mask hated it. His brain replaying what he saw over and over only fueled his stabs into the dead body. He didn't even realize it was dead. How dare that other boy, how dare he touch what was meant to be his in such a way. Picking up the dead body he harshly threw it to the side. He stood up, his breath heavy as he looked around for another victim. Am older man huddled into the corner of the room. He stared at the body wide eyed, with nothing but pure fear.
"P-please... I beg of y-you... don't h-hurt me"
"SHUT UP"
The boy swiftly kicked the man in the guts. He picked the man up by the throat and slammed him against the wall. His fingers tightening around the man's throat until he looked like he was about to pass out. Throwing him to the floor he watched as the man tried to get up to flee but the boy easily stopped him. Slammed the knife down on the man's upper thigh he slowly dragged it down the man's leg all the way to the heel as he watched with satisfaction the blood oozing out of the torn flesh, all while he ignored the wails of pain and the pleas to stop the man produced. Grabbing the man by his hair he dragged him over to the gas stove top. He turned on one of the burners to the max before forcing man's face onto it. The man couldn't even scream properly and once the boy thought the man's face was nice and toasted he finally let him go. Watching the man basically slide off the stove top onto the floor he turned the man over to his back as he grabbed some nearby rope and swiftly tied the man's hands together. Turning him over again he stomped onto the man's chest until he could hear the sickening sound of bones cracking, he repeated this until he was sure he had broken every rib in the man's body. For his finale he took another knife and heated it up in the stove. Hovering over the barely alive man's body he took the knife slowly cut the man's stomach open before thrusting the knife into it. The man let out a final broken scream before going silent.
"Brutal", came a voice from the doorway if the kitchen. He looked up to see his older sister Delilah who stood leaning against the doorway with her arms crossed, also wearing a mask similar to his. "What's up yours that has gotten you into such a mood?" Knowing his sister would only pester him more if he didn't answer his question he responded, "It's this guy, he touched her and it's driving me mad."
"Awwwww! Is my baby brother jealous because he's mad that his wittle crush isn't paying attention to him?"
"Shut up, you don't know what it feels like. And it's more than just a crush!"
"Chill, I'm just teasing. Man, dad was right. You're emotions are wild. If I didn't know any better I'd say you were on your period."
"Whatever, we're done here. Let's just go.", the boy growled before existing his house with his sister.
A/N:
Haha! Slightly longer than the first. Anyways I really hope this second chapter is better than the first since I put some more focus into this one. I apologize if there are any spelling, punctuation, or grammar mistakes. I am far from perfect and I often tend to make these mistakes. Sometimes I manage to catch them but with the amount I make I'm sure there's many I don't. Other than that I just wanted to say thanks in advance to anyone who favorites, comments, or even adds this story to their playlist or library. I'm a very small creator here so I know what I do most likely won't reach a lot of people but even the smallest action can motivate me to write more. So thanks to anyone who supports me, you are the reason I continue writing.
