" For your selfishness you're both cursed . Mr Patel you will never live , when your wife gives birth that will be the end of you and as for you , Luke , Mr Patels child will be the end of you until you kill the child first.."
[ The Present]
My legal guardian, Luke, had just informed me that I would be going to camp Silvers this coming summer . The camp wasn't ordinary but it was a big deal for a teenage girl who didn't have a normal childhood and wanted to experience what being a teenager is like , Luke found me after my mom and dad where killed by something unheard of , he trained me into being the best fighter and sniper and by the age of thirteen I had already mastered a lot and was being sent on dangerous missions with grownups to help them fight , Luke wasnt related to me in any way but he knew who my parents killer was and he promised to help me find him and kill him hence the training. Besides all that drama going on , I was still excited for this camp and I was packing quickly to make sure I was done in time and we left early. Luke arrived seconds after I put my luggage in the doorway . " You must be excited princess " he said while giving me a tight hug then continued " I will miss you but be careful and be on the lookout" . " What if the guy won't be there , for once I will be able to have fun like a normal girl " I glared at him and crossed my arms . "Have fun all you want but please be careful" Luke sounded concerned. " Yes Luke , I packed my guns and the knives just incase he or she shows up " I jokingly said and held his hand . " That's my girl. Are you ready to go now" he carried my bags to the car and we left. The more we approached it the more scared and worried I got , what if people there won't like me ? What if I meet the one who killed my parents? Alot crossed my mind and I was getting nervous. We arrived and the place looked normal, like a camp for rich people or something, it had normal sized houses that had hotel like rooms inside and the place was too neat to be a camp . I offloaded my luggage and turned to Luke " this is it " I smiled at him . " Be careful out there princess" Luke hugged me one more time. "Don't worry Luke" . He waved then left. I watched as the other people came in and sighed and mumbled to myself " this is it Michelle". " Hey you okay ?" A girl said . She'd brunette hair and wore hiking clothes , tied her hair in a bun then smiled and continued " my name is Mia, I come here every summer and I can tell you are new " she held out her hand for me to shake and I did. " Michelle, my name is Michelle" I smiled back . " Well welcome to camp Silvers, allow me to take you to the hostess' " she carried some of my stuff and we went into an office where I saw one woman and two girls. " Miss Lilith , this is Michelle she just arrived" Mia said all smiles. " You're Luke's child " Lilith said and I nodded " welcome to camp Silvers , this is Marcus and Diego and here is your room key ". We grabbed the keys and found out it was Mia's room too , she got jumpy and excited and I found that intimidating. We entered the room and it had three beds inside , each bed had its own section and on one section a girl already sat there . She was blonde and had an intimidating look on her face , she seemed to glow a little . " That's Kehlani, Kehlani this is Michelle" Mia said. " Welcome to camp , you'll hate it here " Kehlani got up and walked up to me " why are you here Michelle?" She looked in my eyes and I got uneasy. " Stop it kate " mia pushed her away and turned to me " don't mind her she tries to look into everyone's thoughts" Mia glared . " Thoughts ??? " I curiously said. " She looks into people's heads and gets into your head . I turn into a snake what about you" Mia pulled my bags to my side of the room . " Sorry what ??? " I was freaking out but not showing it . " This camp is for the children whose parents are half human half immortal, you must have something" mia sat on my bed . I excused myself and ran to miss Lilith's office. " Are you okay love " she said while offering me a seat . " What's this camp about, people turning into snakes and others getting in heads or something" I was panting. " I see Luke didn't tell you anything. This camp consists of different monsters sirens ,snakes, wolves anything you can name and it's all normal cause here you learn how to control yourself " she sounded calm . " Why am I here ???" I said . " Luke said youre great with guns and knives and he just wants you to not let that mess your head ".
I woke up at around 3:15am and went for a run . My roommates where still asleep and I didn't want to bother anyone honestly. The whole camp thing was just messing with my head but I knew I had to stay for what killed my parents wasn't normal therefore it wasn't human. I stopped and started breathing fastly and my chest ached , every breath felt like a sting to the lungs when I felt a hand on my shoulder that was offering me water , I took it and say down and saw a girl . " Are you okay now ?" She smiled . " Yeah " I softly said while nodding. " My brother used to get panic attacks . He's dead now " she smiled " my name is CoCo, I'm a siren ". " I'm a sniper " I whispered while looking at the view ahead of me . " You're Michelle " she stood up while amazed " you're a girl " she was now surprised and stunned . " I don't follow what's going on " I stood up and faced her. " When Kehlani looked at you yesterday she knew you're in search of her brother" CoCo said . " I don't follow" I said . " You're searching for your parents killer, it's Kehlani s brother but I don't have proof " she looked at me then continued " although you might not stand a chance. I don't know the guy but rumors say his a demon that's why no one knows or sees him ". Ofcourse he had to be a demon, I glared and said goodbyes to the girl and went back to camp .
[ Ivy ,kehlanis mother, home]
" You promised to go to camp this summer, you've been home forever please go " ivy pleaded. " I thought you wanted me home " Jace groaned. " But that was then and things have changed now " ivy said " at least go and look out for your sister , I heard Luke's child is there ". "I'm not interested mother. Tell Damon maybe " he sits down . " I could go " Damon said . " No we're not going anywhere " Jace yells. " I promise to not hold you back on anything just please go to camp Silvers " Ivy says.
[ Back at camp]
I freshened up and joined everyone in the hall . " Welcome everyone. As you know the rules are the same " Lilith said . " No gadgets , no dating , no killing " Diego said. " A basket is walking around throw your phones inside, our servants are going through the rooms and taking away the rest of the gadgets " Marcus added. " Now tonight there will be a bonfire and it's requested that y'all attend that and not miss it" Lilith said. She smiled abit then continued " now I would like to introduce a new member to this camp ....Damon Patel " she extended her hand and a boy walked on stage to join them , he'd grey or silver hair that hid one part of his eyes , his skin was so pale and shimmering under the halls lights and people cheered for him as he smiled . I took the opportunity to go outside and check if my guns had been taken away but everything was still there. I sighed and walked back outside. " Michelle come here " mia signalled me to join them . " This is Norman and Caleb" Kehlani said while holding Normans wheelchair. We exchanged smiles and then there was an awkward silence until Damon started walking towards us . " What are you doing here " Kehlani shouted . " You won't die if you're nice Kate" Damon smirked . He approached us . " Wheres my stupid brother" she let go of Normans wheelchair and folded her arms. " His your brother, how should I know " he grinned at her and she took his hand and they went away and so did the other guys leaving me with Norman. " I also got to go get ready for the bonfire" I awkwardly said " should I ......" . He cut me mid sentence and said " I can push myself" he shrugged then before I could leave he held my hand " I heard a rumour that Jace and Damon are here for you" . I looked at Norman and pushed his hand away " where'd you hear that ? " I put my hands in my pockets. " Word goes around. Just be careful" he started to wheel off and I stood there once again wondering whether I should continue with this or not .
Time passed and people started to get ready for the bonfire, a lot where already settled and enjoying and I chose to seat at a far corner where no one would notice me and I chugged on some margaritas. " Hey slow down" coco smiled as she sat close to me " for a serial killer you're really nervous". " Being nervous helps me to stay focused " I took another shot and my eyes met Damon's , my heart skipped a beat. " C'mon let's go" CoCo took my hand and we joined the rest of the team who had now formed a circle . " Well guys as our first task, you each have to pick a partner of the opposite gender" Lilith said. People started to get in pairs of two and I stepped back hoping they'd tell me to sit this one out . " Michelle you've got to pick a partner " Marcus said . " There's no one left " I said looking around. " I can be your partner ". They all looked behind me and I slowly but with a heart racing turned too. There Infront me , offering to be my partner stood Jace . He had twilight fog hair with ocean blue eyes, a nice blend that complimented his musculine skin , his hair covered his one eye just like Damon's and he had a face mask on. I could hear people murmuring but looking at him it was like it was just me and him against the word , I felt numb and weak . " Oh great ,Jace , I've been expecting you" Lilith rushed to hug him . " Ofcourse, you're worshipping him like his some god or something" Kehlani rolled her eyes then continued to say " why are you here Jace ?". " Mom said I should come to camp " Jace said as he walked closer to me but maintained his eye contact with Kehlani. " Go home Jace " Kehlani shouted . " It really wasn't my decision Kate " he shrugged. Kehlani angrily left . " Okay then now that everyone has a partner , that partner will yours until the last day of camp " Marcus said . " And tomorrow at night you and your partners are going to show us some dance moves and the winner gets crowned king and queen silvers " Lilith said and the people cheered . I looked at Jace and felt that numbness again, was I really close to the person who killed my parents, I wanted to stab him and put bullets in him but he was untouchable. " Hey Jace , I'm mia , kehlanis best friend" Mia said with a smile on her face and googly eyes. He ignored her and walked away . " That was rude " I muttered to myself. " It's Jace , but as time goes by I know he'll like me too " Mia said . " Like you??? You like him " I asked while surprised. " I met him one time by mistake at kehlanis house and wow , I fell in love " she got jumpy again and I just rolled my eyes and walked away.
There was tiny drops of rain outside when I woke up from a nightmare and decided to wash my face . I went into the bathroom and rinsed my face a couple times while trying to calm down my nerves . I then took my gun and put it inside my jersey and I somehow felt safe . " It's 4:15 , what are you doing?" Mia whinned as she entered the bathroom. " I had a nightmare, nothing serious" I said while going back to bed . " Well you succeeded in waking us " Kehlani got out of her covers and sat upright. Our attention shifted to the window when we heard scratching sounds , we each took a shoe and when the window opened and the thing got in , Kehlani covered it with a duvet and we started hitting it. " Awwww why are you beating me " Jace said as he removed the cover and dropped down on the floor. " It's you " Kehlani said while breaking down into laughter . " What were you doing coming in through the window" Mia said while finding a cloth and some water to treat his bruises. " I wanted to talk to you" he pointed at me . " You could've used the door as a normal person. Ever heard of knocking" Kehlani once again laughed on top of her voice . " It's not funny Kate , you almost broke my limbs " he sat up straight and held his waist. Mia then came with a warm towel and held it to his face " do you mind removing your mask " . " Don't touch him " Kehlani panicked and she helped him onto her bed " give me the towel " she snatched it from Mia's hands and faced Jace , something about there eye contact made me wander what was Jace hiding under that mask . " Just let me go " he pushed Kehlani out of the way and grabbed my hand , we walked to his room in silence and I just held on to my gun incase of anything. We reached there and I sat on his bed while he went to the bathroom, his roommates where Caleb and Norman, Caleb seemed to be asleep but Norman woke up and was just staring at me . Minutes later he came out and he'd changed his clothes but still had the mask on , he sat closer to me . " What do you want from me " I said . " We've to practice our dance routine" he leaned back on his bed " relax I'm not here for any of the rumors ". " I'm not afraid of you Jace or Damon " I turned to face him . " Terrified is the word you should use " he parted his hair and I saw three scars below his one eye and he quickly hid them . " You must know why I'm here then " I muttered to myself. " Yes I do " he whispered to me " I wont straighten anything out but you can do what you got to do " . " I've a feeling this wasn't about dance " I said . " No it wasn't . You see Michelle I will make this easy for you, you can try any method you want to kill me but if you keep failing and I catch you ,I WILL KILL YOU " he stood up. " Is this a bet " I stood behind him. " Yes it is . May the best hunter win " he walked out and I stood there listening to the rain and Wondering if I will make it back to my room. " You know he's just messing with you right " Norman said as he sat on his bed and I realized he was there the entire time . " I take it as an opportunity " I walked to his bed . " Jace likes to play with his victims to show you how weak and frail you are " he looked down . " Is that how you got hurt ?" I sat near him . " I bumped into him while he was hunting, almost made me his lunch" he chuckled. " I'm so sorry and I will take that advice " I stood up again. " No do what you have to do to get him , a lot of people don't want him alive " he smiled at me. I went outside and saw Jace standing feet away from his room in the rain just staring at me , I wasnt about to be hit by a demon so I went back inside and slept on his bed.
" Miss serial killer , what are you doing on the enemies bed " Kehlani said as she took away the covers and opened the curtains. The sun was already out and I had slept on jaces bed , luckily he wasn't there . " He must've done something to me without me noticing" I tried touching my head to convince them but Kehlani gave the look of disapproval. " The dances started early, c'mon" Kehlani took my hand and we rushed to the centre where they'd set up a small campfire and everyone with there partner where dancing. I sat down and treated myself to marshmallows completely ignoring my surroundings and making sure nobody notices me but Lilith did and she sat close to me . " Michelle you've so much potential in you " she smiled. " Just stop it miss Lilith " I shrugged. She touched my shoulder then said " sweety there times when our faith is tested and it's your time now , instead of embracing the moment why not take advantage of it " she stood up then left. Something about it made me realize I spent all my life focusing on killing and making Luke proud but nothing for me , I stood up and joined mia and Coco. " Have you seen Jace?" Mia asked. " Stop obsessing over him already " CoCo glared at her . " Why should I ???" Mia stared straight at CoCo. " You don't have a chance against him . Jace would never want a nobody who hides between shadows " CoCo grinned . I saw Mia's happiness fade and she wasn't so confident as usual. " Hey what's your problem?" I glanced at CoCo. " My problem is you minding my business " CoCo said. " Well Mia is my friend and I don't like what you just said " I remarked. " And I don't care what you think " she rolled her eyes . I pulled out my gun and held it to her neck " you're not bulletproof CoCo and your powers can't stop this bullet it's either you apologize or I will pull the trigger ". " It's okay Michelle, let's just go somewhere else " Mia pulled me aside and we decided to go walking. We talked abit and headed back . " Let's round up the competition and finish off with Jace and Michelle" Lilith said . Everyone went silent as if we where gonna finish each other off right there. I stood near the fire and watched him come near me fear gripped me but I had to stand my ground. He wrapped my hands around his neck and put his arms on my waist , I flinched and I heard him chuckle , he leaned over to me and whispered in my ears " just don't fall in the fire". I gasped and we started to dance , with each step I rested my head on his chest drifting more and more into the state of no worries , I saw Lilith smiling at us as she held her chest then things went blank.
I woke up with my head banging, feeling as though I had a fever or something. I got up looked around and I was back at home and in my room , HOW???? I pushed away the covers and ran downstairs to find Luke who was in the kitchen. " Why am I home ? What happened? " I asked in a state of panic. " The doctor said you needed your rest " Luke smiled at me . " But why? What happened? I was at camp Silvers" I acknowledged. " Michelle, you've never been at camp Silvers before.....what are you talking about. You fainted during training" Luke looked surprised and worried about me. " No you sent me at camp Silvers to kill Jace " I shouted . " How do you know about Jace" he was now shocked . " Cause you sent me to camp Silvers to deal with him ...." Tears started to roll down my cheeks , what had just happened. "Camp Silvers closed down years ago due to the death of a fellow camper . But you never went there" Luke reached for his phone to call the doctor . I couldn't believe this . What was going on?.
