Chapter 6

Day two. A hike into the forest with a maze of trails; a map, a whistle, a radio, and a compass came in a trail bag for the camp activity.

Freddy and Anna arrive early. Freddy carried a bag with him to the start "what's in there?" Anna asked Freddy. Freddy looked at Anna, who grabbed the trail bag and smiled "survival gear" he answered while she opened the bag, Anna punched Freddy in the right arm "you're trying to show off aren't you?" she asked, he chuckled at her "aren't you glad your midgit body doesn't hurt me?" Freddy asked rhetorically as he grabbed her hand, leading her onto a trail. "wait, I have the trail bag. Shouldn't I be leading you?" Anna asked Freddy, he smiled at her "you want to get lost or hurt city girl?" Freddy asked Anna, she gasped and kicked him on the right leg. Freddy laughed at her pitiful attempts at hurting him, he stooped down and picked her up princess-style. Anna let out a little yelp of surprise but once she was in his arms, she blushed and seemed content.

Lionel and Amelia arrived at the trail late. Lionel looked at Anna "wanna ditch?" he asked her, she smiled at him "did you even have to ask?" she asked him, Lionel smiled at Amelia and grabbed her hand. He decided to let her lead the way; She led him to a waterfall in the forest, away from the trails. Lionel looked around before locking eyes with her "don't tell me you're a skinny-dipper" he said, wiggling his eyes at her playfully. She winked her left eye at him "guess you'll just have to find out" she said to him before entering the water fully clothed.

'She is so perfect' Lionel thought as he dove in after her.

Freddy and Anna reached the end of the trail and Freddy set Anna down. Freddy grabbed Anna’s left hand and led her to the fountain where they first met, she was quiet and let him lead her. Freddy got nervous, the other students were spread out but a few groups were nearby and glanced at them every minute.

"Anna" Freddy said to her, she let go of his hand when she noticed the others around them were actually watching them. Anna turned towards Freddy but she didn't look at him, instead she looked at her feet. 'she's so cute when she's shy, this is harder than I thought' Freddy thought as his heart sped up "I.. uh.. I like you Anna" Freddy said to Anna, nervously grabbing the back of his neck, he was also avoiding eye contact with her. "I would like to ask-" Freddy started to ask something but just before he could finish his question a scream was heard, Freddy looked up and around at the crowd trying to locate the source until he looked down. Anna had looked at him, her face was fuming with anger.

Freddy looked confused, before nervously scanning her body "are you okay? what's wrong?" Freddy asked Anna, she glared at him right before she kicked his right ankle. Freddy raised his eyebrow at Anna in confusion before she stormed off, Freddy watched her stomp away and chuckled at her reaction 'adorable, she must be embarrassed. I'll give her some time to cool off' Freddy thought as he sat down on the fountain.

'I can't believe him! He always does this! Taking me in front of crowds just to embarrass me!' Anna thought. She was so furious at him that she didn't realize that she was being followed. A group noticed Anna was grumbling and marching alone while lost in thought, so they easily knocked her unconscious with a bat from the sports field shed. They carried her to the maze of trail paths that the students just learned how to navigate, they set her down in the intersection of a group of paths. Anna slowly woke up as she heard them arguing.

"We just passed this intersection twice!" The first kidnapper whined "you're holding the map wrong" the second kidnapper informed "no. We should follow the sun" the third kidnapper grumbled "quiet. you should all just follow me, I was the only one who made it out" the forth kidnapper ordered "look, she's awake" kidnapper three said.

The burry figures became clear as Anna looked at the group "ugh wh- what's going on?" she mumbled, Anna felt a sharp pain in her head. Anna tried to move but her hands and legs were tied, the group all looked at her. There were two guys and two girls. "Why is Freddy so interested in you?" Kidnapper two asked, this one was a guy that had blonde hair and green eyes. Anna looked at him in confusion and before she could respond a blonde girl to the left of him chuckled "she obviously has blackmailed him" kidnapper one said.

"Yeah, there's no way someone like her could be with him of his own free will" kidnapper three scowled at her from the right side of kidnapper two, this one was an unnaturally tanned girl with dark red hair that was obviously dyed. "Who cares how or why, let's just have some fun with her" Kidnapper four said with an evil grin standing in front of the other three kidnappers, this one was a guy with buzz cut, black hair, and was holding the bat with his left hand.

Freddy got up from the fountain and started to look for Anna, he spotted Lionel and Amelia coming from the forest. Freddy walked over to them "hey… uh.. why are you both wet?" he asked, looking at their drenched bodies. The two looked at each other and laughed “a waterfall” Lionel informed him, Freddy raised his eyebrows at them in surprise but then remembered what he wanted to ask them "hey.. uh.. have either of you seen Anna?" Freddy asked them, they looked at each other before looking at him "nah man, last time we saw her. She was with you.. Is something wrong?" Lionel asked him.

Freddy gave a small chuckle "it's nothing.. she just got embarrassed.." he said to reassure them, Amelia chuckled with a knowing look "alright, but tell us if you can't find her by the end of the day.. she.. uh.. she's afraid of the dark" Amelia informed him, he nodded and gave them a small wave. ‘This island is huge! It will take more time than I have to search for her, frantically running around and screaming her name isn't going to help so I need to think…’

'if I were to take someone... where would I go? I would go somewhere secluded, where if she screams.. it would be drowned out by something... wait.. that's it!' Freddy thought as he ran towards the forest where Lionel and Amelia just came from.
