Jack returns to camp after the bitter breakoff of her friendship with Brenda. The welcoming committee ends up being an evil that is quickly gaining power. Something is waiting.

CHAPTER FOUR BEGINNING OF THE SNOW BANK 

She stared out the van window with her heart beating wildly.  She had
waited half a year for this to happen and she could hardly stand the 
wait any longer.  Her hands were shaking and her eyes were wild with 
excitement. 

Last time she had came, it had been at winter camp, also, with her best
friend, Brenda.  Brenda had a run in with a stalker and it seriously 
messed with her head.  The two had a falling out and now Jack had no 
clue if Brenda was all right.  She hoped that Tyson was taking care of 
her.   Her heart ached at the memory for they had been the closest of 
friends but she just couldn't take Brenda's obsession with the stalker. 
 It had been too much for her to handle and she had called off the 
friendship. 

She was now going away to a weekend of God, fun, friends, boys, freedom,
and perhaps snow.  The music of Creed blared over the speakers and 
everyone was singing their lungs out.  Everyone, as in Mark who was 
driving, Nick sitting in the front seat, Matt, Alyssa, and some blonde 
girl Jack did not know, were sitting in the second row. Tracy, Jamie, 
and herself sitting in the third row. Alish, Theresa, and another girl 
that Jack did not know were sitting in the fourth row. In the very last 
row, sat Micheal, Zack, Erin, and Mitch.  Jack sighed once more for she 
could hardly wait for camp and the wheels on the bus seemed to be going 
so slow.  Time always seemed impossibly slow when she wanted something 
very badly. The bus was on the small dirt road that lead to camp but 
she could not stand how far away it felt.  Her impatience was a flaw in 
her personality and she knew that she should hold it in check, but camp 
begged otherwise and she listened to camp. 

Suddenly, they rounded the bend and there was the entrance.  A great
howl of relief went up from everyone and they began chattering wildly.  
Singing with Creed was sadly forgotten as the camp was now around them. 
 Mark rounded the bus to the front of the camp and parked where 
everyone piled out.  No one was interested in sitting in the bus any 
longer than needed.  The trailer was unlocked and a few of the boys 
began to unload.  It was like a chaotic explosion of supplies for 
everyone dove in searching for their belongings.  Jack found her heavy 
bag and grabbed it so she could get out of the herd of people.   She 
did not like being that close to people for she was very anti-social.  
Her life had caused her to be so and even more so, was the lack of 
guidance for a social life. 

She waited for Tracy and Jamie before they went to the Mess Hall to sign
in.  Jack set her bag down by the door and they scrambled in.   They 
waited in a line until they got packages that upon opening revealed IDs 
and other items a "secret agent" might need.  She stood in line for her 
picture to be taken and Nick stepped in behind her.  She had been great 
friends with Nick but hadn't seen him in a couple of years.  He seemed 
to be growing up and maturing before her very eyes. 

"Wonder why they need our pictures?" he spoke up.  His voice was deeper
and huskier, which was a very nice change. 

"I have no clue and would rather they not.  I detest my picture being
taken," she grinned and decided that Nick was somewhat cute.  He had 
pretty brown eyes, cute curly brown hair, and a knock-out grin.  Though 
he was kind of dorky but in a cute way.  He had definitely changed 
since she had last seen him. 

"Naw, at least you are pretty enough the camera won't break but see with
me, well, it doesn't go so well," he joked.  His smile was so innocent 
and genuine that she couldn't help but smile back.  She hadn't realized 
how much she had missed him but being with him reminded her. 

"Please," she rolled her eyes.  He was so goofy but then again that was
how she remembered him. 

"So how is Brenda?  I haven't seen her yet," Nick wanted to know.  She
felt as if her stomach had been yanked out of her body. 

"Uh she's not here and I don't know," was her pained response.  She felt
so much guilt because she knew that Brenda had needed someone to be 
there for her, not leave her.
