It was a long drive, but the bus finally arrived in the afternoon.
Everyone hopped off excitedly.
"Students!" Vice Principal Luna called out, "This building is a hotel for residence. Go to the front desk to get the keys for your assigned rooms and make sure you put all your belongings in your rooms. The camp consists of the Crystal Lake, the left side of the forest, and the right side, both of which are separated by the path to the lake. Please do not go to the other side of the lake. The activities will start tomorrow, but for the rest of the day, you may do whatever you like, but do NOT enter forbidden areas. If you get lost, return to the hotel."
After moving their luggages to the residential building, all the students went to the forest. Lyra, Bon Bon, Vinyl Scratch, and Octavia went to the right area, Photo Finish, Sandalwood, Derpy, Flash Sentry and Micro Chips went to the left, and the rest, Twilight, Sunset, Fluttershy, Rainbow, Pinkie, Rarity and AJ went to the lake. Everyone went off to their own businesses.
Time flies when you have fun. The sun was already in contact with the horizon, but no one was about to stop.
Twilight and her group were playing ball in the water. A pass was made towards Applejack. She smashed the ball, hard, and it went flying right over Pinkie Pie.[]"Oops! Sorry!" Applejack apologized, with an embarrassed look on her face.
"Nice hit, Applejack!" Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash exclaimed in amazement.
"That was too far." Applejack said, looking even more embarrassed.
"I'll go get it!" said Pinkie Pie, as she swam of to get the ball.
"Boys and Girls! It's almost nighttime! Time to go back to the hotel!" Princess Luna yelled from a distance.
"But Pinkie…" said Fluttershy, worriedly.
"Don't worry, you pack your things. I'll wait for her," said Rarity.
"Thanks a lot, sugar cube," Applejack said.
Rarity smiled back as the rest of the group made their way back on shore.
"We'll meet you at the hotel," said Sunset.
Meanwhile, Pinkie was still looking for the ball. She finally found it near a boarder net.
"Ah! Here it is! Jeez, if Applejack was a bit stronger, I would have to climb over the boarder to get the- Huh?"
Pinkie Pie suddenly noted a big torn in the net. She swam down to get a closer look. And there really was a massive hole in the boarder net.
"Hmm. I need to report this to Principal Luna." Pinkie thought, as she started to swim back up.
As she was about to hit the surface, a hand suddenly grabbed Pinkie's left ankle and yanked her back down. Then the figure rammed a machete into Pinkie's back.
"Mmmmmhhhhh!" Pinkie let out a muffled scream as she struggled hard to get free, as Jason gave another stab, this time in the left hip.
Pinkie shrieked and thrashed even harder, hoping to escape the extreme pain. She grabbed Jason's wrist, attempting to get her leg free from the grip. Jason hacked her in the right arm, cutting it off as a result. Pinkie felt tears coming out from her eyes, as every single nerve was engulfed by intense pain and fear. But she gradually lost conscious due to blood loss and a lack of oxygen. Jason pushed her limp body aside and swam away. Pinkie's maimed body let out one last painful twitch as she drowned quietly.
Half of the sun was now below the horizon.
"Oh dear. Do hurry up, darling." Rarity muttered as she looked around anxiously. She then came across the dilemma of whether to stay put or to go out and look for her. Eventually, she chose the latter.
Rarity made her way to the direction Pinkie Pie went, occasionally looking underwater. She was completely oblivious that the lake was growing mistier.
"Pinkie? Pinkie? Where are you?!" Rarity began to panic.
"Oh no. What do I do? We're supposed to be in the safe area. What could possibly happen?" She was trapped in her thoughts, as her vision was trapped by the thick fog. She looked around frantically, but couldn't see anything. Suddenly, Jason jumped out of the water right behind her and grabbed Rarity by her hair. Then he stabbed her in the neck, and cut her head off before she could even react. Jason continued swimming towards the shore, as Rarity's headless body sank down the lake, leaving a red murky trail on its way.
