Author's note: It's been a while hasn't it?
So, it's been 4 years since I did my Happy Tree Friends horror story 'The Reaper' and holy crap, has the reception for that story been positive!
I mean, just look the statistics for that story! Out of the 22,906 (my second most amount of words for a fanfic, only beaten by 'Te Amo, Rainbow Dash', which I've re-written and put onto my Deviant Art), I've had 71 reviews for the story as I've worked on it, 6 people have had the story on their alerts list and 10 people have had it in their favourites. But the most impressive feat I've earned from that story alone, is that 6,869 of you guys have read the story. That alone I couldn't have seen coming!
Funny enough, that story was a remake of an old story I had with a similar premise. And for the most part, the main inspiration for that story was another Happy Tree Friends slasher story called 'Ich Haase Sie, Meine Leibe' (or 'I Hate You, My Love' if you don't speak German) by the user deadliving (BTW, it's a much better slasher story than mine, go check it out).
And really, I want to thank you people, for everything. The views, the follows, the favourites, the reviews, everything. Without you guys, IDK where I would be on this site (probably nowhere since my fanfiction doesn't make an impact on anything. Then again, not many fan fics do).
So, 4 years later, I've decided to do a sequel to 'The Reaper' as both a thank you gift and as a start to the new year. I'm probably gonna be less active than I was for 2014. But hey, it's only been a couple of months! Compare that to my YouTube channel. I haven't uploaded a video onto it in 6 months! I really should think about uploading something on there some time.
But anyway, enough of my personal life, enjoy the new sequel!
And you've probably noticed by now, but the rating of the sequel has gone up to an M rating. This is because I would like this story to be a lot more gritty, more darker and more adult than the first story. So, what does this story have that the other doesn't? Well, firstly, there will be much more bloody violence, strong language used throughout the story, strong sexual content (I'm thinking of having a bisexual sex scene later in the story. But I won't tell you between who) and possible drug references. This chapter will have a few examples of strong language and sexual content. Yes, I am gonna make the characters enabled to have sex. Deal with it!
The Happy Tree Town Water Park was standing abandoned, the closed red and yellow slide also standing too. However, the water, for some unknown reason, was still running and the lights around the waterpark itseld was still active. This is especially strange since a few years ago, an accident occured on that waterslide which resulted in somebody losing most of their skin and somebody being cut in half going down the same slide just a few minutes later. In the darkness, the park was quiet, the water still and undisturbed...
However, a few minutes later, a group laughing can be heard as 3 inhabitants climbed over the locked gate. These inhabitants consisted of 2 males and 1 female. One of the men was a blue fox, the other, a black buffalo with a red baseball cap and the female was a purple coyote wearing a yellow t-shirt.
"So you're telling me that Happy Tree Town Water Park is best at 2:30 in the morning, Tough Heart?" the fox said through the darkness. "I don't think we should be here. Let's just go back home." he continued before turning back towards the gate, only to be stopped by Tough Heart, the buffalo.
"What? And miss out on having this whole water park to ourselves? Not a chance! We got denied access during the day and this is the perfect time to go in the pool and stuff. Look Gnash, we'll be here a couple of hours. We'll go to the changing huts, get changed into our swim wear, go on a new slides, play in the pool, get dressed, head home, nothing's gonna happen." He reassured. The voice was quickly followed by Helena, the coyote, speaking. "Yeah Gnash, don't be such a pussy. Until 7am, the three of us have the water park to ourselves. There's not gonna be a single soul here but us. Now shut up and get in a changing hut."
Gnash just walked to the nearest changing hut, which was a small cabin just beside a pool and locked the door. As he was putting on a red speedo, he noticed a shadow from underneath the door. Once he put the speedo on, Gnash turned around and unlocked the door. Looking out, he saw the shadow was gone and nobody was there. He then slowly walked out. "Guys? Was that you? If this is some kind of prank, it's not funny!" he said nervously. Almost immediately, the door of the changing hut next to him opened and Tough Heart peeked out.
"What are you talking about?" he asked, causing Gnash to turn around. He replied "Was that you just outside my door? I could've sworn I saw a shadow." Tough Heart then walked out, wearing a pair of black trunks. "What do you mean?" he asked.
Gnash, worried, replied with "I swear, as I was putting my speedo on, I saw a shadow outside my changing hut's door." He then looked around as he then said "I don't think we're alone out here. I think somebody's made it into the park before us." A reply quickly came out of Helena, who had just walked out of her changing hut wearing a red swimsuit. "Oh, quit being a bitch Gnash! There's nobody here but us! Now just relax."
Immediately after saying that, Helena pushed Gnash until he fell backwards into the pool behind him. The splash disturbing the silence as the ripples from the splash distorted the sheet of still water. As Gnash resurfaced, Helena and Tough Heart dived in. The three began splashing at each other and swimming without a care in the world.
However, Gnash still felt a bit unsure about being at the Happy Tree Town Water Park at 2:30 in the morning. Plus, that shadow he saw put him on edge. He was certain that somebody, that was nobody that him, Tough Heart not Helena knew, had followed them into the water park. He also had a strong feeling that whoever was in the park with him and his friends wasn't friendly. Eventually, Tough Heart and Helena got out the pool. "Hey Gnash, me and Helena are gonna go fool around in the jacuzzi for a bit. You happy staying here?" Tough Heart asked Gnash, who was still in the pool. "Yeah I'm cool mate." Gnash lied.
Truth be told, Gnash didn't want to be left in the pool on his own, but he said he was cool with it so Tough Heart and Helena wouldn't call him a pussy again. Besides, he knew that the two were just gonna head to the jacuzzi area to have sex. They always do. Whenever the two felt like it, they'd walk off somewhere quiet and do all kinds of lewd activites, especially when they are here in the water park. Gnash decided to swim about the pool for a while to take his mind off of the eerie atmosphere the park was providing at this time of morning. Taking a good look around, he found the pool surrounded by fake green plants that from where he was, looked almost life like.
After about 5 minutes of swimming, he went under the water, managing to hold his breath for about 2 minutes before needing to go back up to the surface. He wiped the water out of his eyes and moved his fur back. It was at that moment he saw something move in the darkness behind the fake plants. It wasn't until his eyes focused that he could make out a shape.
It was roughly the same height as Tough Heart, except instead of being topless with a pair of black trunks, the figure was wearing a large black robe, complete with a glow-in-the-dark skull mask. This mysterious figure was also holding a large scythe, the metal blade glistening in the light of the pool. The figure walked around the fake plants before stopping in plain sight of Gnash and just stared at him. It was too dark for Gnash to see the colour of his eyes, the darkness effectively making the eyes of the mask look like empty, lifeless eye sockets. In the middle of the pool, Gnash was afraid. Who was this figure? Did Tough Heart manage to sneak away and put on a Grim Reaper costume behind his back to scare him? Gnash smiled a little at this thought.
"Alright Tough Heart, you got me. I'm a little pussy. Your costume freaks me out. Take it off and laugh at me." he said to the figure. But this mysterious person didn't make a move to take off the mask, nor did he move to remove his costume. He just stood there, and stared at him.
Suddenly, a splash from behind startled him. He turned around and saw another figure disappear behind a fake bush. It disappeared far too quickly for him to make out any details. On edge, he turned himself back around to where the figure was. But he was gone. He heard another splash. His heart then began to race. This wasn't Tough Heart, nor Helena! This was somebody else! Gnash, in a panic, quickly swam back to the pool's edge and got out, running towards the jacuzzi area.
"Guys! Guys! We need to go right now!" Gnash screamed as he saw the jacuzzi. Tough Heart's swim trunks and Helena's swimsuit were discarded on the side and the aforementioned two were inside it. Both of them were naked, Helena sitting on top of Tough Heart in the jacuzzi, obviously with his cock inside her. The two were startled when they heard Gnash cry out, Helena getting off Tough Heart and covering her breasts with her arm. "What the fuck Gnash?! What do you want?" Tough Heart snapped, obviously annoyed that Gnash interrupted his sex with Helena. Gnash slowed down and stopped in front of the jacuzzi.
"Guys! We all need to get out of here right now! There is somebody here with us! I was just swimming in the pool and I saw a guy in a grim reaper costume with a scythe! Then I heard a splash from behind me and I turned back and someone else was there. I-I-I-I couldn't make out any details, but still, when I turned around, the grim reaper figure was gone!" Gnash said, scared. Tough Heart just laughed at him. "Oh what? Can't the grim reaper get a little time in the pool too?" he joked. But Helena looked concerned for Gnash. She turned to Tough Heart.
"Look Tough Heart, I don't think Gnash is joking. Maybe we should get going." she said. Tough Heart looked at her, shocked. "Wait, you believe what this little pussy is saying? Fuck this! I'm going on one of the slides." Tough Heart said, before getting out of the jacuzzi, still naked. He grabbed his trunks before walking away towards the slides, into the darkness, Gnash and Helena both watching him storm off.
Gnash looked back at Helena, who had now removed her arm from her breasts, revealing them to him. "Ya know Gnash, you look kinda hot with no shirt on. Why don't you come in here and I'll make you feel REAL good?" Helena offered to Gnash. The latter stood flabbergasted. "B-B-But what about your boyfriend Tough Hear-?" Gnash began to ask, but Helena quickly responded with "Forget about him. He's not my boyfriend anyway. He's just a friend with benefits, but he likes to say I'm his girlfriend to make himself feel better about himself. Besides, he's terrible at sex."
"But it's my first time. I'm still a virgin." Gnash said, causing Helena to stand up, her full naked body in his eye sight. She walked up to him and whispered in his ear, "Don't worry. I can teach you."
She then took him by the wrist and lead him into the jacuzzi with her, removing his speedo in the process.
"Oh yes Gnash! You're learning quickly! Faster! Please! Don't stop!" Helena shouted and moaned as she rode on Gnash's dick under the water. The two had been going at it for the last 10 minutes. The two's moaning would've been the only sound heard throughout the park. Tough Heart was still nowhere to be seen. They didn't even know, nor care, if he had heard them or not. Right now, they were too busy fucking one another to care. Gnash was having the time of his life right now. Who'd have known that having sex in a jacuzzi would feel so good? No wonder Helena & Tough Heart did this so often!
It didn't take long for Gnash to cum inside Helena. He grabbed onto Helena's backside as the two kissed, heavily muffling a moan escaping their lips as they both came. Their tounges collided as Gnash's seed continued to fill up inside Helena. The two's kisses, originally quick and lustful, began to slow down to long, loving kisses. The two pulled away a few seconds later. "You... are so much better at this... than Tough Heart." Helena said to Gnash, to which he replied with "Thanks. I can do this all evening."
Helena got off Gnash and got out of the jacuzzi. She then picked up her swimsuit and put it back on. Gnash quickly followed, him putting on his speedo and walking away with her like nothing happened between them. After a few seconds, Gnash spoke up "You know Helena, you said that Tough Heart was never your boyfriend?" to which she turned to him and replied "Yeah?" Gnash then took Helena's hand in his before asking her "Well, would you like to be MY girlfriend?"
Helena was taken back a bit by such a question, but before she could answer, a whispered voice rung out.
"Walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh."
The two looked around, wondering where that voice came from. "Was that Tough Heart?" Gnash asked. "That didn't sound like him." Helena replied. "We need to go and find him!"
The two then took off down a path towards the giant water slide. The door that held it closed had been opened. "Oh god, he hasn't!" Gnash said. Helena then called out "Tough Heart, what are you doing on this thing?! Don't you know this water slide has been closed to the public since the accident?! Get out of there now!" But there was no answer. No sign of him either. "Don't make us come up there!" she yelled again. Again, no response. "Oh for God's sake!" she said before taking Gnash by the hand and climbing up the steps.
As they climbed the steps, the two had a good look at the water park. The lights were still on, but they couldn't see any signs of Tough Heart anywhere, nor could they see any signs of the mysterious grim reaper figure Gnash told the two about earlier. Helena then shouted "Come on Tough Heart, enough playing around! We gotta get home before the park opens!" Eventually, they reached the top, still no sign of him. Gnash looked down one of the slides as Helena noticed that there was no water exiting the bottom of the slide.
"I don't see him down here! And I think the paint on this slide is getting wet." Gnash said, putting a finger onto the odd red liquid smeered on the walls of the slide. "Head down it! He must have gone somewhere else! I think there's also something blocking the slide!" Helena replied before pushing Gnash down it. Gnash screamed, startled at the sudden push. He went down the slide as Helena made her way back down the steps to the bottom of the pool. But she didn't hear a splash. Instead, there was a quiet thud in the slide before hearing Gnash say "There IS something blocking it! Let me kick away." Immediately after, Helena noticed a red liquid trickling out of the slide and into the pool.
"Is...Is that blood?" she asked herself. Suddenly, a twig snapped behind her. She turned around to see nobody there. There was then a splash in the pool as Gnash and whatever was blocking the slide landed in the water. She then turned around and screamed at as Gnash quickly swam away from whatever was blocking it, as it all became shockingly clear what the object was.
It was Tough Heart! But there was large stab wounds all over his body. His throat had also appeared to have been slit too. His blood leaked out of the open wounds, turning the pool's natural blue colour into an ugly shade of red. Gnash got out the pool and stood next to Helena, observing Tough Heart's heavily haemorrhaging cadaver. "I'm telling you, there's somebody else here with us! We need to get out of here!" Gnash said in a panic. The two turned around to run to the exit, but stopped upon hearing the rev of a motorbike. They slowly turned around to see an ominous figure.
This figure sat on a small motorbike. He was wearing a black American military officer uniform with black trousers and shiny black shoes to accomply it. Were it not sitting on the motorbike, Gnash & Helena wouldn't have noticed its black clothing among the dark. This figure also wore a grey helmet and over his face, was an old World War 2 gas mask. Helena and Gnash both slowly backed away as the motorbike reved once again and took off running once they saw his foot kick the bike's rest away. This figure was after them! It was obvious now!
The two managed to outrun the figure on the motorbike, but just as they ran past a corner, they saw another masked figure on a second motorbike, similar to the one the soldier was riding on. This one was wearing a dirty Prussian blue Napoleon-esque uniform with white trousers and big brown boots. Like the soldier on the motorbike, he was also wearing a mask. This one was a frightening red devil mask made of rubber, its mouth open showing rows of fake teeth, its horns poking forward. This one was armed with a pitchfork. He turned it so the blade would face the two and charged forward, still on the motorbike. Helena managed to get out the way, but Gnash was impaled by said pitchfork.
He fell back, turning to Helena, who was crying at this shocking turn of events. With his last breath, he said one last word to her:
"Run."
The devil looked up at her, pulling out the pitchfork, the ends now coated in Gnash's blood. She turned around and ran away from him as he began to give chase. She turned back to see the devil figure slowing down, but looked forward to see yet another figure, who was also on a motorbike, just like the other two. This one was wearing a dirty beige plague doctor costume, complete with a hood covering his head, his face covered by a long beaked mask. This figure had a bloody machete with him. Without a doubt, this was the figure that murdered Tough Heart.
The figure moved forward, towards Helena. She turned around to meet eyes with the devil figure following him. Both motorbike's headlights were shining on her. She was trapped. She then backed away, the bikers surrounding her. Another headlight shone in front of her. It was the soldier. This figure pulled out a handgun and loaded it. She then shut her eyes, bracing for one of the figures to make a move to kill her just like they did to Gnash & Tough Heart.
But none moved. She opened her eyes and saw pieces of writing on the front of each motorbike, underneath each of their headlights. The writing said 'Repent now, the blood harvest begins tonight'.
Suddenly, she was startled by the sound of another motorbike behind her. She turned around, but couldn't react fast enough before she was beheaded right there on the spot by a swinging scythe. The last thing she saw through the headlight as it sped towards her was a fourth figure on the motorbike. This one, matched Gnash's description from before: a grim reaper figure in a long black robe, complete with a glow-in-the-dark skull mask, holding a scythe.
Alright! How's that for an opening? A little too sexual at some points? Well, at least now you can expect it from now on, but unlike now, I'll give you guys a warning for that distinct chapter if there's a sex scene.
Like I said at the start, this story is gonna be more darker, more gritty and overall, more of an adult horror story. Because I'm 18 years old now and I feel like I should write some REALLY scary stuff now.
And if you're a religious person, you may have caught the references by now. If not, look at the descriptions of the murderers again and Google search that whispered line. It's from the Bible.
Anyway, expect more chapter of this sequel to come soon (don't ask when though) and I hope you enjoy this new take on my slasher story!
