Prologue for Book 7: Shock Horror!

“What was that?” asked Cara, sitting up suddenly in her sleeping bag.

“It was probably just a coyote,” her friend Brinna told her as she rolled over and tried to stay asleep.

Cara strained to hear the noise again in the darkness. She was sure it wasn’t a coyote. It sounded more like a crackle or a hiss as if the campfire was still burning.

“Can you smell smoke?” asked Brinna, suddenly awake now.

“Brinna, your hair!” As Cara looked at her friend, she could see Brinna’s long, blond hair sticking to the side of the tent, pulled there by static electricity.

“Yuk,” said Brinna, trying to pull her hair away from the fabric.

“There’s that noise again,” said Cara with a gasp.

“I heard it too,” said Brinna, and this time she knew it wasn’t a coyote. Something was out there. “I’m going out to see what it is.” Brinna picked up her flashlight and unzipped the tent. She slowly stepped outside.

The forest was dark, Brinna shone her flashlight around but nothing seemed out of place. The hissing and crackling noises were louder now though.

“What can you see?” Cara put her head out of the tent to find out what was going on outside.

“There’s nothing out here,” Brinna told her. “But those noises have to be coming from somewhere.” She took a couple of steps away from the tent. “It certainly is a warm night.” She wiped her forehead where beads of sweat were beginning to form. “I feel like I’m in a sauna.”

As she moved farther into the forest, the darkness and the heat seemed smothering. Brinna felt as if the trees were closing in around her.

There was a noise to her right, a horrible screeching, screaming noise and suddenly a tree burst into flames.

Brinna jumped away and fell to the ground. A tree close to where she landed burst into flames just as the first one had done. Brinna quickly picked herself up off the forest floor and ran back toward the tent, trees exploding all around her.

“Run!” yelled Brinna as she reached the tent where Cara was waiting outside.

Cara’s face was a mask of panic. She quickly started running and the two girls disappeared down the hillside as fast as they could.
