Chapter 54

Dinner took a little longer than expected, so by the time we cleared everything except for the table and chairs, it was time to prepare for my next adventure. I wondered what those scouts wanted from me, but at the same time, I was sure it was going to be great fun.

While I put on my sneakers, Nele went inside to get dressed. Eventually, except for me, they all wore sneakers, shorts, and a T-shirt.

“Have fun, you guys,” Nicole said as we walked towards the forest.

“Thanks!” some of us shouted back.

I was glad it was colder inside the forest. Because those scouts had asked me to wear sneakers to run more efficiently, I knew I would get sweaty today.

“Nervous?” Linda asked.

“Not really,” I answered, “Sure, I’m wondering what they want me to do, but I have a feeling it’s going to be fun.”

“Aren’t you afraid to be naked among all those boys?”

“With you guys with me, no,” I said confidently.

“You know, we all will protect you,” Patrick said.

“I know,” I said, smiling at him and the others.

The forest had really changed since it hadn’t rained anymore. The path we were walking on was now arid, and like I had thought yesterday, the ground was much softer and had even become sandy again. It almost made me pull off my sneakers because I wanted to feel the sand between my toes. However, I didn’t do it because I knew it wouldn’t be comfortable to wear them again with dirty feet.

I was surprised that we didn’t see any other people while walking towards the fence. With this beautiful weather, I had been sure more hikers would be around. Or they had all gone to the official hiking trails.

Without the chains on my body, we reached the fence with plenty of time to spare. So we waited for the Boy Scouts to arrive and explain what they wanted from me.

It was already a little past one o’clock when we saw two boys walking towards us. When they got closer, I noticed that they were Nick and Alex. Nick wore only sneakers and shorts, while Alex also wore a T-shirt. They definitely did not wear any official Boy Scout clothing.

When they got closer, I noticed they were staring at me. They were talking to each other, but we couldn’t hear what they were saying. Eventually, they got to us, and Nick said, “Hey, guys.”

“Hi, Nick,” Claudia said.

“So, you’re with them?” Nick responded, smiling. “Should have known.”

He then looked at me and said, “At least you have your sneakers on!”

“Isn’t that what you wanted?” I asked him.

“Well, I should have said that you also had to put on some clothes, I guess,” he joked.

“Is this a problem?” I asked.

“Not for me,” he said. “But I don’t know how you will feel after you hear what we want from you.”

“Yeah! What do you expect me to do?” I asked.

He smiled again and answered, “Ever heard about a Fox Hunt.”

Linda and Claudia giggled while the boys smiled.

“What?” Nick wanted to know.

“Her nickname is Foxy,” Claudia explained, which also produced a smile on his face.

“Couldn’t be more appropriate then,” he said.

“Um ... What’s a Fox Hunt?” I asked.

“Never been with the scouts or anything like that?” he wanted to know.

“No, I haven’t.”

“Okay. Well, a Fox Hunt isn’t that bad,” he told me. While he pulled a piece of rope out of his pocket, Alex pulled two pieces of cloth from his shorts and gave them to Nick.

“You see, normally, we would just put a piece of cloth into your shorts, ensuring most of it hangs out to the side. The people hunting you need to try to take them away from you to catch you.”

“I see,” I said. I had played it in school but never knew what the game was called. We just played it during gym class sometimes.

“Of course, for some reason, I just knew I had to bring this piece of rope with me,” He smiled at Alex knowingly.

“Yeah! Yeah!” Alex responded. “You were right; she showed up naked. I lost my bet!”

They didn’t discuss what they had bet about, but Nick just said, “Come, let me put this around you,” Meaning the rope he was holding.

We stepped towards each other, and when he was standing in front of me, he wrapped the rope around my waist and tied it so it was loose around my body but tight enough so it would stay lying on my hips and buttocks. “You really have the perfect shape for this!”

“Thanks,” I accepted his compliment.

He then stuck a long green cloth on the right side of my body and a red cloth on the left.

“Well, that’s all the preparation that’s needed,” he said to my breasts.

“And what now?” I wanted to know.

“Have you already been in the forest behind the fence?” he asked me.

“No, not really,” I told him.

“That’s Good; that makes it more fair for everyone,” he said. “You have to try to hide inside the forest from the hunters. There will be eight groups of four boys hunting you. Each team has a different color of T-shirt. But that’s less important for you, I guess.

“What you need to do is just try to hide, and when caught, try to keep them from pulling one of the pieces of cloth from you. As you can see, you have a green and red cloth. That’s because there will be two teams that can win something for next year’s summer camp, but the green one is more special.

“You have to know, this evening, we are having a barbecue, and the group that can catch the green cloth will have you as their guest.”

“Me?” I said, surprised. So, would we stay with them for the rest of the day? None of us knew this.

“Yep, you will be sitting with them during the barbecue. If that’s okay with you?”

I looked at the others and noticed some nodding in agreement.

Patrick said, “I’ll call Nicole to tell them we will be staying with them for the remainder of the day so she isn’t worried about us.”

After this, I looked at Nick again and said, “Okay, it seems we will stay.”

“Thank you,” he said. “We hoped you would, but we would have been okay if you had said ‘no.’

“Now, when one of the groups has captured a piece of cloth, it isn’t over yet. You must try to escape the others until they catch the second cloth. It doesn’t matter if they get the green or the red one first. Both of them have to be captured before the game is over.”

“Okay, I understand.”

“There is one last thing I want to ask you,” Nick said. I noticed he looked a little uncomfortable. “Traditionally, the team with the green cloth takes control of the prey. This entails that they tie the girl’s hands behind her back and escort her back to camp. However, in your case. Seeing that you are naked, I don’t think that would be appropriate.”

“I don’t mind,” I said without thinking about it. “If you guys usually do that, It’s okay with me.”

“Well, that’s not all. We normally also put a collar on the girl and led her to camp on a leach. That collar stays on during the rest of your stay in the camp, and those winners are allowed to walk you around with a leech inside the camp for the remainder of the day.”

It was apparent that Nick felt troubled by this, so I smiled at him and said, “I’m also fine with that.”

“Really?” he looked happily surprised but then asked, “So, knowing this. Would you maybe like to put some clothes on? I’m sure one of your friends, or even Alex, would borrow you a T-shirt.”

“No need for that,” I told him. “I’m happy like how I am.”

He couldn’t help himself by letting his eyes go up and down my body.

“Again, thanks!” he said. “I’m sure the guys will love this. Of course, your hands will be released once the winners are declared at camp.”

“Okay, sounds fun to me,” I told him.

He looked at his watch and said, “The hunt should start around two o’clock, so you still have plenty of time to explore the woods for a hiding place. Once the hunt starts, you will hear a horn blown. We only ask you to stay in the confines of the fence, and for the rest, you can do whatever you want.”

“By the way, is there a time limit for the hunt?” I wanted to know.

He smiled at me and said, “The longest hunt was just over an hour. But most of the girls were always caught much earlier. However, if you shouldn’t be caught by six o’clock, we blow the horn again, and the hunt ends. But I bet you that will never happen.”

“Okay, I accept the bet.”

“Um ... that was just a figure of speech,” he said.

“Chickening out?” I asked him.

He smiled at me and said, “Okay, what are you betting for?”

“Well, if I manage to stay out of their hands until six o’clock, you will help us all out tomorrow for something.”

“What kind of something?”

“You two will play a part in a video we will record tomorrow,” I said. I don’t know if there was something those two boys could do, but that’s what I could think of on such short notice.

“What kind of video?” he asked.

“Well, it’s for my website, and ... it’s somewhat of a naughty website.”

“Do you want us two to be naked in it?” he wanted to know. I noticed he didn’t fancy that thought.

“Maybe,” I answered. “Or just be two guys who catch me naked in the forest and blackmail me into doing stuff for them;”

He managed a smile because that’s precisely what he thought they were doing now. However, he did answer, “I’m not sure if we can do that. I must think about the consequences if anyone learned about that.”

“We can always make you unrecognizable,” I said. “We do this with most of the people anyway.”

He looked at Alex, and his answer was just shrugging and saying, “You know she will be caught way before the time is up.”
