Hi guys! Pineapple here!

It is coming to that special time of year when we get lots of presents.

Yep, you guessed it! Its Christmas!

This is honestly my favourite time because I get lots of presents!

(btw I'm really excited 'cause this year I might get an Xbox one!)

Anywho, back to the story.

Disclaimer: I do not own both Fairytail nor Destiny.

So here goes… :)

Chapter 3: Restless spirits

(Interns P.O.V)

"How the hell am I supposed to cook with this!?" I yelled, holding up the dead rabbit. Simon looked across from the camera calmly.

"Give it here. I'll skin it with this rock." He held up a small piece of rubble and gestured with his hand for me to pass the rabbit.

"No way! We'll get sick if we have dirt in our stew!" I said disbelievingly. I still couldn't believe that the worldwide super star could settle for such disgusting food.

"Here, clean it with this" He said, passing the cloth used for wiping the camera lens.

"What about the cameras?" I asked

"I've got a spare, but there isn't many cameras to clean. All the ones around the camp where buried. The others are still out in the woods. Couldn't find them though." He explained.

"Yeah, but while you were away I had to try and skin this rabbit barehanded!" I said.

"Well, now you can use the rock" He said calmly, like it was totally normal to skin rabbits with a blunt rock.

"How can you still believe it's a ghost? There is clearly no ghosts here and why would a ghost target the cameras?" I asked him curiously.

"That's the point. I've been working around ghosts for a long time and anything that can destroy your camp soundlessly or throw sand at someone without being seen is definitely a ghost"

He answered truthfully. I could tell he meant it so my respect for him lowered dramatically. Anyone who believes in ghosts that spray sand in the middle of Russia has definitely lost it.

At that moment Sam came rushing out of the bushes holding about six small cameras.

"Sam, Its been like, 3 hours! Where have you been!?" I asked, annoyed.

"Shut it." Simon said, successfully silencing me. It was best not to go against the wishes of someone who earns a thousand dollars a week.

"Sam, what happened? Start from the beginning. I want every detail.

"Guys, you won't believe what happened! It was so creepy!" He started.

"Here we go again" I sighed.

"I was looking around the forest for the others when I got a text! Here, I'll show you!"

He passed the phone to Simon who read it quickly, then passed it on to me. I took the phone and scrolled through it with interest. It said:

Help man! It's a Minotaur! Its real! It was chasing me but I think I lost him. I'm hiding under a bush at the moment. I'm really scared! All the stories where real! You guys need to get outta here pronto! I think its coming after you next! This isn't normal, man! It's like nothing you've ever seen! You can't solve this one! Wait! I hear footsteps! It's coming! Get out while you ca-

You have received 1 messages.

"That's so fake! But at least now we know who the prankers are." I said. I tossed it back to Sam.

"Its real, dude! The ghost is real! I got proof!" He said confidently.

"Are you sure?" I asked, far from convinced.

"Yeah! I was looking for him after the call when I found his footprints near the lake! I could see where he sat under the bush and there were big footprints running next to his! They were huge! It was the ghost! I followed the footprints until suddenly they vanished! When The guy left the woods the footprints disappeared! So awesome!"

"That's very serious" Simon said. (See what I did there?)

"Should we follow his advice or look further into it?" He pondered.

"I vote stay! We need to find the monster!" Sam said, a bit too over- enthusiastic for looking for a non-existent ghost.

"I vote leave" I counteracted.

"We are never going to find it. Do you know why? It's simple: BECAUSE IT DOESN"T EXIST!" I exploded.

"Calm down! The last thing we need is too lose our temper!" He said sternly.

"Why shouldn't I? We are going on a goose chase!" I snapped.

"Because if you do you'll get fired!" He said coldly.

"Good point. I'll try" I said, forcing myself to calm down. Remember, I'm only in this for the cash! I thought to myself.

"Sam, I want to check out those footprints. You, stay here and finish cooking" Simon ordered.

"But-"

"No buts! We are staying and unraveling this mystery!"

"Now Sam, lead the way" He said.

"Right this way, sir!" Sam said then waltzed off into the bush. Simon followed.

"Alone at last!" I sighed, thanking this "ghost" for a few minutes of silence.

I walked over to my pot and started skinning the rabbit. I used the rock but I was too angry to care.

"How can they fall for such a dumb trick? I mean like, everyone knows that there are no such things as ghosts!" I muttered under my breath. I didn't dare say it out loud because who knew when Simon was watching and I didn't want to get fired without my name on the credits at the end of the show. Even if I wasn't paid it still meant a lot to me for people to see my name on the big screen.

I stopped. Something was wrong. I abandoned the rabbit and walked towards the lake. An eerie sound, I think it was a harp, drifted over the forest. All my hairs were standing on end. It played a slow tune, but somehow it made your heart beat faster. It gave you the feeling that you were being watched. You know that music when the monster is about to enter? The one. The one where you knew you were about to die.

I walked towards it. I couldn't see who was playing the harp so I played it by ear. As I got to the middle of the lake the music stopped. It was sudden. This was the part when you knew the killer was standing right behind you. I panicked. I turned around in a circle but no one was there. My breaths came out quicker. I did another 360, watching the tree line. Fog started seeping in from the East. I stepped back. It was soon upon me. The fog surrounded me, like a giant white bubble. I couldn't see five feet in front of me. That's when I fell in.

The ice cracked beneath my feet. I screamed once, then was pulled into the water's cold embrace.

It was freezing. It was black. I kicked in one direction, hoping it was the right way. Unfortunately it wasn't. My hands reached out for the air that was never to come. Instead, my hand touched something cold. And soft. A human hand. I screamed. The sound was muffled and hundreds of bubbles escaped from my mouth.

Going up my nose and into my eyes before rising. A hand grabbed my collar. I screamed again, emptying my lungs fully. I was pulled upwards. My head broke the surface. I gasped for air. The hand kept pulling until I was centimeters away from its nose. My vision was foggy.

"Who are you?' I croaked. My vision cleared. And I will never forget that sight.

"I am you" It said. Right before my eyes was myself, identical in every way. The collar, the face, the birth mark on my nose, everything was the same. Even the coffee stain on my pants was there. I tried to scream. Nothing came out. It dropped me on the ice.

"Leave now" It said darkly, my bangs covering its eyes.

I turned and ran. I didn't stop running until I left the forest, and I screamed all the way.

And there it is.

Hope you enjoy and if you did please write me a comment or a review (whatever you call it).

I really enjoy writing this so please tell me if I should continue and what you want in the story :)

I will accept any ideas and do my best to put them in.

See you next Sunday!

Pineapple out.
