Chapter 8 by A.X.E. A.X.E.

Then...

Everyone remembers what happened, and they all go for the rock

Cody kept his eyes shut for a few seconds as a brief air of silence passed. He opened them and noticed everything, or... the lack of everything around him. Heather castle was gone, trees replaced the entirety of the room, and in place of her throne stood one of the three creaky and cobweb-ridden wood cabins.

He rose to his feet, somewhat disoriented from being seconds away from a certain pummeling. Gwen was slumped on her knees beside him, with Zoey and Eva in positions close behind. "Need a hand?" Cody offered her with a smile and a tilted head.

Gwen blinked and looked at his hand before a flash of realization washed over her expression, and she shot her head back towards Heather. "Heather!" She shouted.

"What the hell?" Duncan got up while rubbing his head. "What.. How... The fuck..."

"She did this." Zoey held a glare as she stood right beside Gwen.

"Oh she's in for a world of hurt." Eva spat and began to storm towards Heather while cracking her fist.

"Woah, there!" Heather noticed everyone's eyes on her and backed away slowly. "It wasn't me it.. It was that rock! It made this all happen I just.. That rock is magic!"

"She's right." Dawn's timid and calm voice said. "That rock holds mystical power; it shouldn't be in the hands of anyone."

Cody looked down at the rock in his hand then back up to the campers whose focus was now on him.

He gulped.

"Yeah! Yeah!" Heather nodded hesitantly. "Do you really want HIM to have a magic wish-granting rock? Think about all the shit Cody would do with that power."

It was then that Gwen made the mental connection. She turned around and looked at the rock in Cody's hand. "Cody..." Gwen spoke calmly yet firmly. "Give me the rock."

"Now hold on." Duncan stepped forward. "I think the rock should be in the hands of someone tough enough to handle it. That being me-"

"Me," Courtney said and stepped towards Cody.

"I say we dispose of it." Dawn suggested.

"Wait wait," Zoey said. "Maybe we should try to share it. Or have a voting system."

"Enough with the voting!" Jasmine said. "We need to act responsibly with this."

"Fuck that!" Duncan pushed past Courtney and rushed towards Cody. His sudden movement was the cue that caused everyone to make a move on the nerdy teen with the rock.

With everyone's attention on him, Cody a bit hesitant but with everyone moving in on him, he had little time to react.

Who gets the rock?
