Summer Camp Story

The story of Cropsy Part 1

"Many years ago, a boy's bunk was camping in the forest by Qfeast Lake. They were all settled in, listening to the radio, when a news bulletin came on. An inmate had just escaped from the near by asylum for the Criminally Insane. His name was Cropsy. Cropsy had been locked up for six years before, and was so violent and crazy that he had to be kept in a straitjacket in a padded room, all by himself. They slid his meals through a little slot in the door while the guard trained a gun on him.
"Everyone must clear the area at once!" the radio annoucer continued. "Until Cropsy is apprehended, anyone in the forest is in terrible danger!" So the boys broke camp as fast as they could. They rolled up their sleeping bags and stuffed them in their backpacks. After their counsellor put out their fire and passed out the flashlights, he told them that they would head out of the woods and make for the highway, where they would flag someone down. If they couldn't get someone they'd notify someone that they were there. But as they left their campsite a strange fog rolled in off the lake. It was so thick that the boys couldn't see each other. They could only hear their own voices. This one guy named Randy kept hearing someone calling his name, and he kept following the voice. He thought he recognised it. He saw a figure in front of him, but as soon as he laid eyes on it. It was gone. He called out but there was nothing but a faint voice.
"Randyyyyy, come to me." He was sure it was his counsellor, but he couldn't tell what direction it was coming from. He walked straight ahead and crashed it something hard! It was only a tree trunk. He backed away, tripping over something on the ground. He dropped to his knees and felt it. It was rough and spindly, and it must have been a tree root.
"Hello?" He called out again.
"Randyyyyy, come to meeee" He got to his feet.
"Where are you?"
"Close, very closeeee." A twig snapped right behind him. Then a strange high pitched giggling sounded in his right ear, and Randy suddenly knew that the man behind him wasn't his friendly counsellor. It was Cropsy!

"Nope." Yamilette blurted out. "Nopenopenopenoope."
"Alright, time out. Enough." Blaze gestured to Sapphire. "We should stop." Sapphire pouted and switched off her torch. Amy rolled her eyes but kept her mouth shut. She wanted to hear the end and from the looks of everyone else, they did too.
"Cropsy! Cropsy! Cropsy!" Maria and Electra chanted, laughing at their scratchy voices.
"Tell it!" Red squawked. Yamilette giggled.
"Blaze, it's fine. For the good of the bunk, i'll endure this terrorfying tale!" She cried making the other girls laugh. Amy sighed and shared a look with Wave who rolled her eyes. Rouge came behind Blaze and whispered something to her. Blaze stood.
"I'm going to the tents with Rouge, something we have to plan for the scavenger hunt tomorrow." Sapphire waited until Blaze and Rouge walked away before switching on her flashlight again.
"Where were we..."
