Creative Writing: Going Beyond The Border

“Hey wait up!” Jared yelled to his sister Gen. “We aren't supposed to be in this part of the woods” Jared said. “Ya, I know but have you ever wondered why we can't go beyond the border?” Gen asked. Jared thought about it and realized that he had never really wondered why it was forbidden to go beyond the border. Was there something that they weren't being told? (Rustle in the bushes) “Gen I think there is something out here”. “Pfff yeah right you just scared”. “No seriously, we should go” Jared says to Gen. (bush rustles again big monster jumps out) Run Jared says to Gen. *wakes up from dream*
“Jared. Jared,” His mom says to him. I think you were having a nightmare.”
“Ya I was” Jared tells her. Mom, what is in the forbidden woods? Oh it's
“It's time to wake up, you have your first day of camp today.”
“Mom, but it's a Saturday. Why can't we sleep in?” Jared asked.
“I already told you have camp.” His mom says. “OK, you guys know the rules. Don't go outside the border, stay out of trouble, and most of all don't let the Recters find a way to say you did something bad.”
“Who are the Recters?” Gen asks.
Well, I guess it's time you knew.” Her mom says. “The Recters are a group that works for the government to make sure everyone is safe, but if they find any reason to get you in trouble, they will.”
“What are the Recters supposed to keep everyone safe from?” Gen asks.
“No one really knows they won't tell anyone but there are many theories about what they protect us from Jared says. But besides that you two need to go now or you will be late.” Their mom says.

Gen let's get those two beds. We walk over and put our stuff on the beds. Next to us is another Girl who looks about my age. Strange man (yells through mega phone): All campers please report to the Dining hall for breakfast. Race you there I say to Gen. You're on she says. Gen has always been very fast for her age but I am still a little bit faster. Then, I realize I don't even know where I am going. Gen I say I think we went the wrong way. There are a few Agents huddled around each other talking we go to ask them where the dining hall is. While we are walking i suddenly sense this may not be the best idea. I can barely hear the agents talking but I do make out a few words. Agent: Something is in the woods the camp may not be safe. I stop right where I am frozen in fear. Gen turns to me and says “are you okay Jared?” The agents must have heard us and they stop talking and look at us. They look very mean and strong. I walk up to them and say “we were just wondering where the dining hall is you wouldn't happen to know would you?” The agents must think that we have heard something because they are very quiet and study us slowly the gen suddenly says “So, do you know or not?” The agents turn their attention to her and say yes it's down that path and then take a right. I say thank you still suspicious that they think we know something which we do. As soon as we are out of the agent's eyes view we turn to each other
