The Summer Trip



10 childhood friends who have been the closest to each other since the minute they met. Yes, perhaps they have had drama and hardships with each other, disagreements and even fights, they always seemed to have gotten back together in the end anyways. They never lied, and always told the truth to each other. They trusted one another, perhaps even closer than family for some. Therefore, they told everything to each other. Actually, no. That sentence was a lie.

True, these are all 10 friends who trust each other and care for each other greatly, but they have secrets they're willing to keep even from the people closest to them. These secrets are things such a romance, a dark past, depression, or seeing that which should not exist. By that, I mean such things as fairies, demons, monsters; Things that regular people can't see. All of these things are only a few of the sorts of secrets they keep from each other, and for their own good.

It's been kept like this ever since they lived, for those many years they've known at each other, and yet none of them knew what each person carried on their shoulders, no matter how heavy it was. That is... they never knew until now.

A summer trip was arranged by all their parents since they, too, were going on their own vacation. None of the kids held back on accepting, obviously, so they decided why not? What they didn't know was that this little trip of theirs was actually going to be in the mountains, far from civilization, which made them have to hike all the way up to top of this little mountain, and finally arrive at this old shrine, but with a beautiful looking entry.

An old man was supposed to be watching over them, making sure they didn't do anything like burn the forest or the house or go anywhere too far or dangerous, but when they got there, the old man wasn't there, like they were told. There was no note either. Basically, they were all alone in the mountains, with no reception outside their little area.

Though it didn't seem that bad, a few of these close childhood friends have noticed things moving at night in the forest, and hear sounds that would terrify anyone. All alone, secrets between them all, and stuck in the dangerous mountains, what could go wrong?
