It is the beginning of summer vacation, Josh , Amanda , Jeremy , and Kerri are going to take a vacation. They are thinking about going camping for a weekend. They all pack up and get ready to leave. The next day all of them get together and leave to Greenbrier county to camp. The sites have been closed for over three years due to a chemical spill from the chemical plant just a mile from the campground. They are traveling down the long, straight road facing the lake. The campground looks like it has been well preserved since the accident. They turn off to the first area looking for the site that they liked the most. They finally made it to the third area that is at the end of the lake. They chose the site that was closest to the boat dock so they could have easy access to the lake.

As Josh and Jeremy were setting up camp the girls decide to take a walk on the trail. They get to the second area and notice something moving over on the other side of the lake. They tried not to pay that much attention to it and continued on. They reached the first area and notice the figure once more. It seemed like it was following them. They hurried back to the camp because they were getting worried. When they returned to the site Josh and Jeremy were gone. They stood there for a minute and the boys returned to the site on the trail that comes from around the other side of the lake. Josh asked them if they saw anything out of the ordinary on their walk. The girls told them that they were getting worried because they didn't know what that was. Josh and Jeremy just started to laugh.

Later that night the girls thought that they were hearing things out in the woods. Josh and Jeremy go out to see what it was as the girls watched from the tent. The boys reach the darkness just out of site from the girls and Josh makes a deathly scream that frightens the girls. They waited in the dark for about five minutes and finally come out laughing and joking around. They told the girls that it was probably just a deer or a bird or something. So they went back to bed. The next morning Jeremy wakes up and starts a fire so they can make breakfast. Soon later Josh wakes up and helps Jeremy with the food. About a half an hour later the girls wake up and start eating their breakfast.

After breakfast, Josh and Jeremy go out on the boat to try and catch some fish. While they were on the lake Jeremy thought he noticed something on the other side of the lake so he tells Josh to row him into shore so he could get a better look at whatever it was. Jeremy gets off of the boat and tells Josh that he will meet him back at the site later. So Josh rows back out to the center of the lake to continue fishing. An hour passed and Josh has seen no sign of Jeremy anywhere but he presumed that he was hanging out with the girls. He couldn't see the site from where he was on the lake. Josh gets tired of fishing so he starts to row back to shore to the site where he saw only the girls.

He gets back ashore and asks them if they had seen Jeremy. They look at him puzzled because the last time they had seen him was when he and Josh rowed out onto the lake. Josh explains to them what Jeremy had done and where he had gone so they decide to take off on the trail to search for him. They make it about half way around the lake when Amanda hears something behind a tree. Slowly, Josh sneaks up to the tree and all of a sudden a rabbit comes hopping out from behind the tree. The girls were relieved because they were getting scared. They continue to search for Jeremy for about another two hours around and around the lake but never find him.

Night has come around again and Josh tells the girls he is probably just hiding and will show up tonight to try and scare us. They finally went to sleep. The next morning the girls wake up and Josh is gone. They guessed that he must have gone to search for Jeremy some more while they were sleeping. They wait at the site for about three hours just joking around and resting. They keep wondering where The boys went to and start to yell for them. They get no reply except for the occassional pitter patter of a rabbits feet or the scampering of a squirrel.

Night comes around once more and the girls start to get worried about the boys. They haven't seen Jeremy for two days and haven't seen Josh for the entire day. They stay up with the fire still burning. They were roasting marshmallows and making smores. They thought that they heard something approaching them in the distance but it was to dark to tell. The night was silent for about a half an hour then they hear footsteps again. They finally see a figure approaching them and Amanda says," Josh?" . Then Kerri says, "Jeremy? ". Then as the figure approaches the fire goes out.

The next morning a patrol officer is driving by and notices the tents set up and goes to investigate the site. He notices that there were people there just recent because he saw footprints. The coals in the fire are glowing a bright orange. The forest is silent, and the lake is calm.
