Alyssa goes to camp for fun when a mysterious fog rolls into the camp. When it lifts, everyone twenty-six and older has vanished in the entire world. The remaining children are thrown into a panic but Alyssa must get to her sister.

CHAPTER NINE THE FOG ROLLS IN 

The laughter rang through the camp, loud and clear.  Out on the
Recreation Field, about one hundred teenagers rolled in the mud.  
Others stood on the sidelines, snapping pictures of their friends and 
making fun of the mud covered teens. 

Alyssa was one of the sideline teenagers and her light blue eyes
followed one mud covered male in particular.  His name was Ben and he 
was nineteen.  He was one of the coolest guys she had ever met and she 
did have a crush on him. 

"If you like him so much, tell him," Shelby encouraged.  She was turning
nineteen soon and she believed in expressing feelings.  She was highly 
dramatic but an excellent friend. 

"Yeah right, I doubt he even knows I'm alive," Alyssa laughed but her
eyes never left the speedy boy. 

"He'll never know unless you tell him," Barbra advised.  Barbra was
Alyssa's best friend and she had been through a lot. 

"Oh, so let's tell him!  I don't think so.  Just leave me alone about
him," Alyssa had lost her patience with her friends about her crush.  
They'd been picking on her since Sunday and it was now Tuesday. 

"Fine, but I still think you need to stop being so shy," Shelby chuckled
and Alyssa shot her a dirty look.   John came running up, covered in 
mud. 

"Can I have a hug?" he inquired, a sly grin barely visible through the
mud. 

"Get away from us John," Melissa threatened.  Melissa was the youngest
of the four at the age of fifthteen. 

"Ah come on," he touched Melissa and she hissed with rage. 

"I will have to get you back," she puffed and he took off laughing. 

"Ooh he irritates me," she growled. 

"Trust us, we know," Shelby smirked. 

"I'm going to go for a walk, I'll meet you up at the cabin," Alyssa
decided.  She had to get away from the crowd, had to go think on her 
own.  She really did need to do something about Ben for he was single 
right now, but what? 

"Want me to go with you?" Barbra inquired.  She was always willing to go
to  places and Alyssa was so grateful but not right now. 

"No, I think I want to go off on my own for a while," she waved farewell
to her friends and walked towards Memorial Hall.  The setup of the camp 
had changed because it had relocated.  They were now on the side of the 
mountain and the cabins were scattered up the side.  The only way that 
they could be seen was by thin tendrils of smoke that snaked their way 
into the air.  There were fires in the fireplaces which was why there 
was smoke. 

"Hey Alyssa, where are you going?" Brenda, the nineteen-year-old
counselor inquired.  She was married to another counselor named Tyson. 

"I was just going to grab my camera from the cabin.  I forgot it," she
replied. 

"Woah, de je vous, I had that same instance.  Only I ran into a
stalker," she laughed. 

"Wow!  I was there during winter camp when you thought he was back and
everyone thought you were crazy.   I heard that a several campers died 
up here.  Is that true?" Alyssa was curious for many rumors floated 
around. 

"Actually yeah but not up here.  This camp is brand new, this is the
