Camp Zero Novels & Stories

I wasn't putting another spoon of this in my mouth again; I refrained from calling it garbage. “Ladies and gentlemen, listen up” A man announced standing on a stage “Welcome to the 2019 youth camp, I hope y’all expect to have fun because it will be nothing short of it” “I am Mr. Adam your camp co-ordinator and for the next four days, I have five rules, number 1 No injuries during competitions, you should always be careful, number 2” he said lifting his middle finger after his index “No stealing, three; I hope you guys would participate actively, four, if you have to leave the camp, take permission and last, do not move across the border close to the forest!”

, Shane warns her. A few minutes later, we are hidden by a couple of trees, our eyes on the camp that has high pitched tents, their cars--two cars to be precise parked a few feet from the tents. The little bonfire at the center of the tents is gone out by now as the smoke willows above to the heavens. No lamp lights. No guards manning the place. It almost seems too easy. I wouldn’t blame them though for not having guards. I mean they are carrying wine for their alpha. No crazy fuck can steal wine, no matter what type of addicting shit is in it.

Somewhere on the outskirts of Red Sun Hill City Zayn's POV The soft rays of the early morning sun were filtering through the clouds and I moved around impatiently, waiting for the signal. We were all gathered here since yesterday, camping in their backyard. It was quite hard to conceal this large number of people from the city's radar but our people on the inside helped with that, diverting any attention away from us. "What's the status?" I spoke into the earpiece I'd wired into my ear for easy communication, while one eye was on my mate. She was by Ethan's side, her head swept to the side to display her collar which was a symbol of our ownership.

I'll miss my daily routine of waking up, eating breakfast, going to class, sitting outside under the giant oak tree, and finally, dinner and bed. The gates scream as they pull open. They rattle and creak, and I inch forward in my seat, eager to see the wide world without the wire obstruction. Inch by inch, the gates expose the new world to me. The camp is situated on a hill, tucked away from the thick forest to the left and the ocean behind us. Off to the right, in the far, far distance, impossibly tall and jagged skyscrapers from time's past penetrate the sky. According to my teachers, the city is abandoned and fenced off. Only the heads of the four prominent Fortunate families are permitte

I smiled at her appreciatively because her words gave me the strength that I needed. I had not been certain what to expect when I walked out the door, but it was not what I initially thought when I heard Camden talk about the camp. There were seven different cabins with a big firepit in the middle. Tables surrounded it. The best part was that this place was surrounded by nature. This was their camp in Montana. I could finally witness the beauty of its nature up close. The pine trees provided shade but did not block out the beauty of the blue sky above us.

I'm so not looking forward to this at all. We leave our tiny town and hit the highway to the west side of Caledon where the boot camp was created. From the brochure we had, its huge. Wide open spaces. 5 dorm buildings filled with semi private rooms and all kinds of training equipment at our disposal. I don't how many will have signed up, but I'm hoping I'll get tossed out. At least that's the plan. **** JAYSON Today's the day. The day my future gets a whole lot better.

Once everything was in order, I gathered every gift Jasper had ever given me and burned them all. Under cover of darkness, I took my son in my arms and boarded the next flight out of the country. The following day, the banquet hall was full of guests who were here for the celebration, but there was no sign of me anywhere. Jasper called my phone over and over again, but every call went straight to voicemail. Panic crept in. Something felt very wrong. He raced home but found nothing on the nightstand but a single note. 'The Gamma homeworld has summoned me back to my planet. I'm taking the kid and ditching the dad. Don't miss me. Don't wait up.'

Her presence was enough, a reminder we weren’t alone in this fight. The camp loomed closer now. Shadows moved between the fires—men, horses, weapons. Voices carried on the wind, rough and loud, full of arrogance. I crouched low, pulling Aya down with me behind a cluster of rocks. We watched, our breaths shallow. The camp was alive, pulsing like a beast. Tents stretched out in neat rows, banners snapping above them. Kaden’s symbol glared in the firelight, a mark of his power. Guards patrolled the edges, their armor glinting. The air smelled of smoke, sweat, and that same sour rot.

“Beth...it’s a-about the s-summer c-camp….” Oh, we do have that coming soon. A camp organized by the school for all students, regardless of classes and all. But...my brows knit tightly as I stare at her, “What does that have to do with anything?” Angie flips my hold on her to hold me instead and her worry-brimming eyes now stare up into mine as she tells in a low voice, “I have a lot to do with it...Akemi just called to inform me about the chosen location the school council decided on. And it’s… Ruma Woods”.

This I understand. We reach the edge of the clearing. The camp is a cluster of heavy canvas tents pitched haphazardly on the muddy bank of the river. There’s a fire pit in the center. I scan the perimeter. No sentries. No movement. My gut tightens. Mercenaries are not stupid. They make their living killing for others. A camp this size should have a watch rotation. “Something’s wrong,” Alexei breathes beside me. “On my signal,” I whisper.
