CAREFREE LAUGHTER FLOATED AROUND the campsite, punctuated
by the occasional shriek of excitement from those enjoying the summer
camp’s activities. Most of the children darted between chaotic craft tables
and challenging obstacle courses with the encouragement of their
counselors. Other groups had gathered to play games in the open field
between the cabins. There was no denying the bustling energy from those in
attendance.
“Just get the frisbee, Brook,” Sally complained as she shielded her eyes
from the sun. She rested her other hand on her hip in impatience. “It
couldn’t have gone that far into the woods.”
Brook wasn’t afraid of the woods so much as she was of poison ivy. She
had practically been covered with the itching rash from head to toe last
year. She had also missed out on several fun events because of her horrible
reaction, and she didn’t plan for that to happen this summer. She peered
over her shoulder, hoping to spot her brother.
Jacob wasn’t afraid of anything.
“Brook, hurry up!”
“Fine,” Brook muttered to herself when she couldn’t locate Jacob. She
thought she had spotted him earlier near the water jugs, but he was nowhere
in sight. She raised her voice to answer Sally. “I’m going!”
Brook scrunched her nose before somehow summoning the courage to
cross the tree line. The overhead leaves provided instant shade. Pockets of
sunlight filtered through the branches, and the scent of sunblock had been
quickly overpowered by the earthy, damp odor of the forest floor. The
humidity was so thick that Brook held her arms up so that her shirt wouldn’t
be left with wet stains on the fabric.
She walked gingerly in the direction where the frisbee must have fallen
after bouncing off one of the trees, but the disc was nowhere to be found.
The hard plastic was red, so it should have been easy to spot. The entire
time she canvassed the area, she kept a very close eye on any green leaves
that resembled poison ivy. She had been so engrossed by the foliage that
she hadn’t realized the ground sloped downward until it was too late.
The soles of Brook’s running shoes were no match for the steep terrain,
and she lost her footing. Unable to catch herself, her hands were of no use
to her as they were scraped by small twigs and debris all the way down to
the bottom of the small ravine.
“Great,” Brook muttered in frustration as she remained on the ground to
take stock of her injuries.
There were several scratches on her hands. Upon closer inspection, they
didn’t seem too deep. She blinked away her tears and wiped her palms on
her shorts before she scanned her surroundings. This part of the woods
always made her uneasy.
It was quiet…too quiet.
Until she heard an odd fluttering to her left. She quickly turned to find a
male cardinal sitting on a low-hanging branch. His feathers were the same
color as her frisbee. The bird stared at her for a while before he flittered
away, as if to remind her that she should be moving as well. All she wanted
