One shocking part was when Lillian killed all the CITS except Esme. As the CITS headed towards the dark woods at night, Esme suddenly heard a loud gunshot from behind her. Esme was shocked to see the CITS lying on the ground with Lillian holding the gun. "Kayla, Olly, and Jake are dead, Lillian is gone...and I'm holding the gun" (377). This demonstrates the immense fear and sudden realization that Esme experienced.

One important part was when Lillian crept into Esme and Kayla's cabin in the middle of the night. Esme and Kayla suddenly woke up, startled by the distorted music and static coming from the old radio in the corner. As they looked near the radio, they saw Lillian standing there. "My pulse whooshes loudly in my ears" (286). This demonstrates how frightened and fearful Esme felt when Lillian sneaked into their cabin.

One important part was when Esme told Olly her secret that she has kept for so many years. As they headed towards the woods, Esme revealed that she had been responsible for the fire in the forest when she was a camper. "The weight of the secret is heavy, but rather than feeling lighter now that I've told Olly, I want to crawl under a rock" (229). This shows how ashamed she felt when she saw how disappointed he was.

One important part was when Esme and Kayla returned to the forest at night again. In the darkness, they noticed a tall figure in the distance moving quickly towards them. Frightened, they hid behind a tree, hoping that they wouldn't be seen. "I curl smaller inside myself and say another silent prayer" (171). This demonstrates how terrified and overwhelmed Esme felt as she flattened herself against the tree.

One important part was when Esme and Kayla took their small group of campers into the woods at night. As they followed the trail, Esme suddenly felt a shiver down her spine when she heard leaves rustling behind her. "Someone is in the woods. They were really far away, so I can't be sure, but I think it was a boy" (67). This demonstrates how frightened Esme felt knowing that someone had been following them.

One favorite part was when Esme, her best friend, Kayla, along with the other CITs gathered around the campfire late at night to tell stories. Going around in a circle, each CIT shared their greatest fear. "My biggest fear is that someone will find out what I did ten years ago" (18). This demonstrates how horrified Esme would be if anyone discovered the secret of what her and Kayla did at the lake as campers.
