to.”
    I went back to the door and peeked out. It
didn’t look like they were doing anything. Even though they had
only been out there for a minute, I wondered how long it would be
until they did something. I looked away for a second and when I
looked back, a man and woman were getting out of the car. They came
up to the door and knocked.
    We had two options. Ignore it and hope they
went away, or answer the door and hope this didn’t end badly. They
looked innocent enough, but why did they follow us? Dante opened
the door, and I stood behind him.
    “Yes?” Dante said as he opened the door.
    “You dropped this in the parking lot… at the
movie theater,” the woman said to me as she held up my purse.
    I moved in front of Dante and grabbed the
purse.
    “Thank you,” I said.
    “We’re sorry if we scared you, following you
home and all,” the man said.
    “No,” I lied with a smile on my face. “Thanks
again.”
    “No problem,” the woman said, and they were
off.
    I closed the door and leaned up against it,
letting out a deep sigh. We overreacted; we must have looked
insane.
    “Let’s go sit on the beach,” I said as I
opened the door.
    “Okay,” he replied.
    As we sat there watching the moon’s
reflection on the surface of the lake, I couldn’t help but feel
like something was missing. In all honesty, I hadn’t felt right
since the day we conquered the Alliance. It was almost as if coming
back to life left me empty inside, and I didn’t feel alive at
all.
    “What’s wrong?” Dante asked.
    “It’s nothing. I was just thinking about….” I
stopped and thought about how to word this. The day we took down
the Alliance was technically the day that Dante and I started
dating. If I said since that day things didn’t feel right, I knew
he would take it personally. “Ever since we died, I’ve felt
strange.”
    “I know what you mean. I haven’t slept in
what feels like forever.”
    I thought for a moment, I hadn’t been
sleeping lately either. I hadn’t really noticed the strangeness of
it because I was never tired.
    “Do you think something went wrong? Maybe we
didn’t do it right, maybe there’s something that you’re supposed to
do when you go back into your body.”
    “I don’t know,” he sighed.
    “Let’s just forget about it, I’m sure it’s
nothing.”
    “Yeah, you’re probably right,” he agreed. “I
was thinking, maybe we could go camping. We can invite everyone to
come along.”
    “That sounds great, actually.”
    “Alright, we can let everyone know in the
morning. Maybe we could leave tomorrow if that works for
everyone.”
    “I don’t know what they have going on, but
maybe.”
    “Well I think I might head home, maybe try
and get some sleep.”
    “Yeah me, too,” I sighed. I didn’t feel tired
at all.
     
     

Chapter 4: Camping
Trip
    In the morning, Dante went over to Cooper and
Lily’s. I went over to see Grace, and she went with me over to see
Annabelle. They were both excited to go camping and wanted to leave
right away.
    Then, we went over to Jackson and Rachel’s.
They weren’t home and wouldn’t be for at least two days; they were
staying out of town with family. Allison was over at Cooper and
Lily’s, and she was also excited to come along.
    We thought about waiting for Jackson and
Rachel, but since we weren’t sure when they would be back, we
decided against it.
    Everyone went home to pack up some things.
Cooper and Lily had two tents that they brought along; Annabelle
had a tent too. Dante and I packed some chairs, bug spray and a few
other things. Rose still wasn’t sure if she wanted to come along or
not, so when I was finished packing, I went upstairs to ask her.
She sat there for a few moments, deep in thought. Then, she snapped
out of it and said yes.
     
    Dante drove his car with me, Rose, Annabelle,
and Grace. Cooper took his car, Allison and Lily rode with him.
Cooper led the way, he said there was an amazing spot in the woods,
and it
