The amber orbs of the well-off city girl were fixed on the rapidly-passing greenery outside the heavily-tinted window of her sleek, black and silver vehicle. Although admittedly intriguing and beautiful, the natural environment filled her with apprehension. What she was about to embark on was the biggest step she had ever taken out of her comfort zone. The surrounding forest seemed unsanitary, even dangerous. In spite of her desire to enjoy the lovely sights, she could not help but worry about the challenges which awaited her after she left the safety of her car. Her parents had wondered what had gotten into their girl when they had first learned the details of the trip she had requested to go on. Peer influence was a powerful thing, after all.

The girls had arranged to go together, with the former offering to provide the transport to the planned location. The golden blonde then let out a sigh before speaking for the first time in a while during the ride.

They were the ones who had helped her learn a little independence throughout the school year. Camping, however, seemed like a whole other level.

The lavish car eventually slowed to a stop, greatly contrasting the old vehicle that was just leaving the area. The young man in the driver's seat stepped out together with the girls to aid them in unloading their baggage. Vera waved to their two other friends who had arrived before them.

"You are aware of which number to call should you require anything, right Miss?" The man asked after all their belongings were out.

"Why yes, yes I am. Thank you very much, Vince," Vera responded with a pleasant smile.

He nodded and got back into the car. The blonde looked over the scenery as the vehicle was driven out of sight, and then glanced at the other girl.

"And so it begins..."
