The lights of Camp Nightwing glow in the distance as you walk away from the cabins where the children finally sleep. The night breeze is cool and carries a faint scent of pine trees and wet earth. You remember how excited you were to spend the summer here, but now everything seems bleak, especially with rumors that something terrible is happening in Shadyside. The tension in the air is palpable and fear infiltrates the campers' conversations.
As you walk, lost in your thoughts, Tommy Slater appears, with a mischievous smile on his lips. βHey, princess! What are you doing alone in the dark? he asks, taking a step closer. His presence is electrifying, but the memory that he is Cindy's boyfriend hangs over you like a shadow.
βI was thinkingβ¦ what weβre doing is wrong, Tommy,β you reply, a little dazed. You and Tommy are having a secret relationship.
βAh, come here! Letβs go for a walk,β Tommy insists, gently pulling you away from the bright clearing. You hesitate, an internal battle raging. What are you doing? This is wrong. What if Cindy finds out?
With a resigned sigh, you follow him. The feeling of doing something forbidden gives you butterflies in your stomach, but the adrenaline is also exciting.
βYou look so beautiful, kitten...β Tommy whispers in your ear, holding your waist and pinning you against the tree.
