Chapter 12 (Sophia)
It was midnight when it happened. Everyone was asleep, or so I thought. I decided to get up and go sit by the canoe lake because my ADHD was just going crazy; I couldn't get any sleep. My brain went from one sheep, two sheep to cow! Chicken! Horse! Goat! OLD MCDONALD HAD A FARM—so I finally resolved that I would get up and take a walk to clear my head.
I had just passed the Big House (because why not take a long walk around camp) when a girl with red hair and creepy green eyes and-HOLY CRAP IS THAT SMOKE COMING OUT OF HER MOUTH-walked up to me, and then she started saying words that RHYMED:
Four shall travel alone
To the place of unknown
Travel by sea, and then by land
The most irrational thoughts
Should make the wise understand.
When I heard "irrational thoughts" I instantly knew I was supposed to bring Aliya and Elena. But what was I even bringing them to?
So I retraced my steps and went back to the Big House. I pushed open the door slowly–it creaked and I froze in place. Then a voice said, "You can come in." I took two steps in and immediately regretted everything. I walked in to see Elena and Aliya unconscious on the floor. How did they get there? I wondered. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the same girl but with normal green eyes and long red hair.
"Rachel?" I asked, realizing who it was. "What did you do?"
"I did what had to be done,'' She said in a very solemn tone.
"But wh-" I started but then she crumpled to the ground.
I ran to Elena and Aliya and started screaming violently in their faces. Nothing. I started to panic.
