The Land Of No Return

Chapter 9
Finally!
"Wow," was all I could say. I stared at the dragon. That was my pet. "Are you sure he's safe?" I asked. "Of course he is! That is, if you know him. If you don't then he'll burn you till you're tiny particles. Or if the owner tells him to breath fire. It's the Dragon People you should be afraid of," she informed me. I stared at her.
"What are Dragon People?"
She looked around as if to see if anyone else was around to hear. She whispered, "The less you know about them the better. But I will tell you this: You don't ever want to meet a Dragon Person, and if you do, don't look them in the eye." She cleared her throat,"So do you want to go back to your cabin?" That's when I suddenly remembered in my dream when I saw The entrance to camp. "Not quite. First of all, I'm hungry. But before we eat I'd like to see the entrance to camp. Can we do that?" I listed.
"Yup. Follow me." As she walked away I couldn't see her anymore. Until there was a sudden burst of light came from where me and Casey had been. It was the door opening. I ran towards the light. Not the light you see when you die or something. I was out. It was night time. "What time is it?" I asked.
"Around six o' clock," she replied checking her watch. We walked north. Finally, after a few minutes we were at the arch i saw in my dream. I started walking to it. I was under the arch when Casey's tight grip grabbed my shoulder and pulled me backwards. She faced me. "I wouldn't do that if I were you. I was trying to avoid the subject but you heard the fury, didn't you? They want you to get the orb. They're probably waiting right outside that gate to snatch you and force you to find and retrieve the orb," she told me.
"Fine. Well can you tell me what the name of the camp is? And what is this orb anyway?"
"The name is Camp Big Springs. The orb is hidden somewhere only one person knows where it is, the orb's the most powerful thing on earth. Whoever possess it can destroy the whole world in just a matter of minutes. Now can we go eat lunch? I'm starving!" I nodded and started walking. She walked alongside me.
"If it's called Camp Big Springs. Then why'd I have a dream showing that same exact arch except for the letters Camp Horror?" I asked.
"Vanisher is probably getting into your head. Probably to make you not want to come here. And if that doesn't work, then you'd at least be a little intimidated. Then you'd be tempted to see what the sign says."
"Who's the Vanisher?"
She sighed, "You ask way to many questions! Can you give me a break. I don't blame you for it. I mean, it's all new to you but your giving me a headache." It was quiet after that. We reached the campfire. When we entered the circle everyone looked at us. Mary stood up. "Your late," she said grinding her teeth, "You'll have to go straight to your cabins and go to sleep." We both slumped, turned towards our cabins and walked slowly. "Except for you Mr. Watson. You didn't know rule number 3. Casey did," Mary grunted. I walked back. It was awkward eating alone. C.J. was at some giant convention. Heather saw me alone and walked over. "I'm sorry I attacked you," Heather said.
"It's alright. I'm kind of getting used to being attacked," I muttered.
She cleared her throat, "So you're a wizard, huh?" I nodded.
"What are you?"
"I'm a morpher. I morph into a human, werewolf, a normal wolf, and a dragon. That's why my nickname's M.I.R.AND.A." I didn't ask her what it stood for. We laughed and had a fun time talking.
"Seth, we need to talk," James told me. He led me to the Farm house. All the counselors were there.
"We need to send you on quest," Ajay informed me.
