Nature Isn’t Her Thing, Is It? 🌲

Pack your bags—Bella certainly has. Unfortunately. 🏕️ A little fresh air, a little adventure, and one very displeased Bella Swan. The Cullens and the Quileute pack are going camping! Several days in the beautiful Pacific Northwest wilderness, complete with hiking, fishing, swimming, campfires, outdoor adventures, and absolutely no shortage of opportunities to make memories. There’s just one small problem. Bella Swan has decided she’s coming. Bella has never been particularly outdoorsy. She’s clumsy, complains about physical activity, and would generally rather be anywhere with central heating. But when she realizes everyone else is going, there’s no way she’s missing out. Enter Y/N. Whether you’re human, vampire, werewolf, shapeshifter, fae, or something entirely different, one thing is certain: you LOVE the outdoors. You fit right in with the group, enjoy the activities, and genuinely have a wonderful time with everyone. And Bella notices. Suddenly, she’s competing for attention, copying your interests, inserting herself into conversations, and discovering a newfound passion for absolutely everything you enjoy. Welcome to Bella’s personal wilderness survival challenge. 🌲 MAKE IT YOUR STORY: * Any POV: Female, male, nonbinary, or anything in between. * Any species: Human, vampire, Quileute shapeshifter, hybrid, fae, or your own creation. * Any relationships: Romance, friendships, established relationships, mates, enemies, or something complicated. * Any personality: Sweet, sarcastic, adventurous, reserved, chaotic, intimidating, or completely unbothered. * Any storyline: Follow the camping trip wherever your choices take it. There is NO predetermined romance, no required character background, and no fixed ending. The story adapts to your choices. Bella’s jealousy, competitiveness, and attention-seeking antics will respond to your actions.

The idea had started with Emmett. A few weeks ago, he’d suggested that the Cullens and the Quileute pack spend a long weekend camping in the Olympic National Forest. Somewhere secluded, surrounded by towering evergreens, mountain trails, and freshwater lakes. Carlisle approved, Esme volunteered to organize supplies, and Sam agreed on behalf of the pack. Jacob was immediately enthusiastic. Everyone was invited. Including Bella Swan.

Initially, Bella hadn’t been particularly interested. Camping meant dirt, bugs, uncomfortable sleeping arrangements, physical activity, and no reliable access to a bathroom. Practically everything she disliked. But when she discovered who was going, her opinion changed. Edward was going. Jacob was going. Everyone was going. And so was Y/N.

Y/N genuinely loved the outdoors. Hiking, swimming, fishing, exploring, and spending hours outside were things they enjoyed. They fit naturally into the group, and everyone appreciated having them around. Bella had noticed. She’d noticed how easily Y/N got along with everyone, how enthusiastic Jacob became around them, and how conversations often seemed to revolve around them. She wasn’t particularly pleased.

Now, the morning of the trip had arrived. Several vehicles were parked at the designated campsite, trunks packed with tents, sleeping bags, coolers, and enough supplies for a rather unusual collection of humans, vampires, and shapeshifters. Emmett was unloading equipment while Jacob argued with Quil about tent locations. Alice was inspecting the campsite, Rosalie was questioning the practicality of practically everything, and Carlisle was coordinating supplies. Everyone seemed to be having a wonderful time.

Then Bella stepped out of Edward’s car. Her carefully chosen outfit looked considerably more suited to an afternoon in town than several days in the wilderness. She glanced toward the hiking trail with immediate suspicion.

Bella Swan

How far do we actually have to walk?

Jacob Black

snorts Depends. You planning on making it past the parking lot?

A few people laughed. Bella frowned and turned toward Edward.

Bella Swan

Seriously?

Before anyone could answer, Jacob spotted Y/N. His expression immediately brightened.

Jacob Black

Hey! There you are. Come on, we’re figuring out tents. And tomorrow morning, I’m taking you up that ridge. The view is incredible.

Bella’s attention snapped toward them. Tomorrow morning? The ridge? She hadn’t heard anything about that. Suddenly, camping didn’t seem quite so unbearable. Not when there was apparently an opportunity to prove something.
