Elizabeth Wakefield hates Nicole Banes. And from the omment she arrived at Camp Echo Mountain, Nicole has hated Elizabeth, too. It doesn't help that Elizabeth is dating Joey Mason, the guy Nicole loves. Now Nicole wants revenge - and a suprise visit from Elizabeth's long-time boyfriend Todd Wilkins gives Nicole the perfect opportunity to ruin Elizabeth's life!
As usual, Jessica Wakefield has fallen for the one guy she can't have: Paul Mathis, a gorgeous local. Camp rules absolutely forbid sneaking off the ground - especially at night. Will Jessica's plans for a moonlit meeting end in disaster . . . or true love?
The woods were dark and ominous. Jessica shivered. She wondered if there were bears out here. Or poisonous snakes. Or wolves. An owl hooted and Jessica jumped.
Taking a deep breath, Jessica picked up her pace. Ouch! she muttered as she whacked her knee against a big log standing upright in the path. Rubbing her knee, she looked at the piece of wood in horror. What was a freshly cut log doing in the middle of the forest?
The camp legend came back to her, and a chill raced up her spine. What if the woodsman really did haunt the forest? And what if he liked to chop up sixteen-year old girls and use them for firewood? She knew Lacey probably just made up the story to keep them from sneaking out at night, but still . . .
Jessica breathed a sigh of relief as she caught sight of the fallen tree where she was supposed to meet Paul. She hoped he wouldn't be late.
Practically running throught the clearing to the tree, Jessica hopped up on the trunk and waited. She swung her feet in the air casually, trying to pretend she wasn't afraid. Jessica knew it had to be just about midnight. Where was Paul?
Suddenly she saw a shadow moving.
"Paul?" Jessica called out. There was no response. The shadow moved toward her.
"Paul, this isn't funny!" Jessica cried loudly. No response.
Her hair standing on end, Jessica slid quickly off the trunk and began to run. After just a few moments she felt lost. She collapsed against a tree.
Suddenly strong arms circled her waist.
Maybe Lacey didn't invent that camp legend after all. Maybe there really is a killer roaming the woods surrounding Camp Echo Mountain. Camp Killer
