All of a sudden, Mason runs out from behind the tents and hides behind us. "What's wrong? What are you running from?" Myst asked innocently.

    He looked at her in fear before looking back towards the tents. "I'm running from him," he said, pointing towards the woods.

    We looked to where he was pointing. Standing there, was a man with long crazy hair and a wild looking beard. He was large with muscles and he had a  dangerous look in his eyes. Myst gasped and ran to me. I held her close to me as the man looked us with a huge smile on his face. "Who are you?" Bruno asked, narrowing his eyes.

    The man laughed loudly. "Don't you recognize me Bruno? It's me, your mother's brother. The one that went 'missing' five years ago," the man said.

    Bruno gasped and covered his mouth. "Uncle Zeke?" he asked, taking a step towards the man.

    The man nodded and smiled. I looked at him closely, not believing him for a second. Then, I saw it, the heart shaped birth mark behind his ear. "Bruno, look," I said, pointing towards it, "It's the birth mark"

    Bruno looked behind his ear and smiled. He gave Zeke a big hug and buried his face in his neck. "Hey bud," Zeke said, squeezing Bruno tightly.

    He put Bruno down and ruffled his already messy hair. "What the he;;? Can someone please explain?" Anthony asked, obviously confused.

    Bruno sighed and turned around to face the rest of us. "So, you know how in seventh grade,  rumors spread that my uncle had got himself lost somewhere, and I told you it was a lie?" he asked.

    Anthony, Myst and Gabriella nodded their heads. I remember that year, he had told me because he said I was the only person he trusted. I had promised him that I wouldn't tell anybody. "So," he continued, rocking back and forth, "I might have lied about that."

    "What?" Gabriella shrieked, "You lied to us?"

    "I'm sorry! I just didn't want to make a huge scene about it," he said with a shaky voice.

    Gabriella rolled her eyes and stomped into our tent.  Anthony sighed. "I'll go talk to her," he said, before turning to Bruno, "Don't worry, I'm sure she will calm down"

    Bruno nodded and smiled weakly. Anthony walked into my tent to go talk to Gabriella. Myst gave Bruno a big hug. He hugged her back and kissed her on the forehead. Myst giggled a little bit and looked up at him. "It's going to be fine," she said quietly. 

    "Thanks Myst," Bruno replied.

    Myst smiled before running back to me.  I was about to speak when I heard Gabriella screaming. "NO! Leave me alone!" she screamed, pushing Anthony from out of the tent, "I will never ever forgive him!"

    She stormed back into teh tent leaving all of us there to stand in silence.  Anthony sighed before walking over to the rest of us. "I tried to reason with her, but she wouldn't listen," he explained.

    "Can someone explain what happened?" Mason adn Zeke asked in unison.

    We looked at them. "That would take a while to explain so let me sum it up for you. Gabriella is angry and now it's going to be hell on earth," I said with wide eyes.

    They nodded and looked at their feet. We all decided to go to bed. Zeke squeezed in with Bruno, Anthony, and Mason. Meanwhile, Myst and I cuddled close together while Gabriella glared at us from across the tent.  It wasn't long before Gabriella fell aslep and Myst started to say something. "Joanne?" she asked, her big eyes looking into mine. 

    "Hm?" I replied, tucking a couple of hairs behind her ear.

    "Is Gabriella going to stop being mad? Is she going to like us again? " she asked, her voice shaking.

    I sighed. "I don't know babes. If she does, than that would be amazing. If she doesn't, we would have to learn to move on," I told her.

    She pouted and layed her head on my shoulder. "I want her to like us again," she told me, crying lightly.

    "I know. So do I," I said, holding her close to me. 

    She cuddled closer to me and fell asleep after a little while. With hearing her soft snores, I closed my eyes and fell asleep. If only we knew what we were to encounter.
