A short time later, Ralphie was walking back down the trail looking for the other kids that had been scattered by their encounter with the wolf. Ralphie couldn't see any of the children from his class anywhere, but someone was watching him from the trees nearby.
"Arnold! Carlos! Keesha! Tim! Wanda! Phoebe! Dorothy Ann!" Ralphie began to call out the names of the kids in his class as he walked along the trail. There was no answer to Ralphie calling out the other children's names. Ralphie began to wonder where they were. Ralphie started to wonder if something happened to them, either the wolf got them or possibly the killer that was loose in the woods around Walker Lake.
"Ralphie! Ralphie! I see you! I see you!" Jackson taunted Ralphie from within the nearby treeline.
"AH! What was that?! WHO WAS THAT?!" Ralphie asked as he was startled by the unexpected voice coming from the trees nearby.
"Why don't you turn around and take a look?!" Jackon replied from even closer behind Ralphie.
"Huh?!" Ralphie asked as he turned around and realized that Jackson was right behind him.
"AAAHHHH!" Ralphie screamed as he saw the killer in front of him. Jackson grabbed Ralphie by one of his arms, he held him up to his face where he sneered at him.
"You were right about the rumours, Ralphie. I'M Jackson Van Hayes!" Jackson announced as he gripped Ralphie's arm tightly while he struggled. Ralphie attempted to break out of Jackson's grip on his arm, but he was unable to get away from the killer.
"LET ME GO! YOU ALREADY KILLED MS FRIZZLE! I'M NOT GONNA LET YOU DO THE SAME TO ME!" Ralphie yelled as he tried to break out of the killer's grip on his arm. Suddenly, Liz the Chameleon ran up to Jackson and sunk her sharp teeth into his leg.
"ACH!" Jackson cried as he dropped Ralphie onto the ground after being bitten by Liz. While Jackson was distracted, Ralphie began to run away through the woods hoping to find the other kids and warn them about the serial killer that was loose nearby.
"I've got to warn the others! I'd be sick if I found out any more of our class was murdered by this lunatic!" Ralphie declared as he desperately scrambled to find his fellow students. Ralphie ran through the woods for about a minute until he tripped over his shoelaces and fell to the ground.
"Damn it!" Ralphie said as he fell face first onto the ground. Ralphie struggled to his feet, he looked over his shoulder and saw to his horror that Jackson was catching up to him. Ralphie tried to run away but Jackson tackled him to the ground. Jackson grabbed Ralphie's throat and began to strangle him.
"Gotcha again, you little hack!" Jackson said as he strangled Ralphie who tried to break free but to no avail.
"Tim! Dorothy Ann! Keesha! Arnold! Wanda! Phoebe! Carlos! Liz!" Ralphie screamed as he began to cry while Jackson continued to strangle him.
"Shut it, you little twerp! None of those brats are gonna come to help you." Jackson replied.
"Please let me go! Just let me go! Please!" Ralphie cried as Jackson continued to strangle him.
"Yeah, in your dreams! You're not going anywhere, you little wop!" Jackson laughed maliciously. Ralphie gasped in shock at what Jackson said. Ralphie was angry at what Jackson called him.
"That's racist! You asshole!" Ralphie replied angrily.
"I don't give a single fuck!" Jackson laughed as he took out his switchblade which he used to stab Ralphie in the back with. Ralphie screamed as blood began to pour onto the ground from the wound.
"Ahhhh! It hurts!" Ralphie complained as Jackson laughed like a maniac.
"Aww, don't like it? Well, too bad!" Jackson replied cruelly as he stabbed Ralphie in the back again with his switchblade.
"Ahhhhh! HELP! HELP! IT HURTS!" Ralphie cried as more blood started to pour onto the ground from the second wound.
"Hey, Ralphie. It's about time you lost some weight!" Jackson said as he turned Ralphie around and stabbed him in the stomach which opened another wound that blood began to pour from.
"NOOO! STOP! STOP! PLEASE STOP!" Ralphie cried once again.
"Stop? But we're only getting started!" Jackson announced as he stabbed Ralphie in both of his hands with his switchblade.
"Ah! My hands! It hurts! It hurts!" Ralphie complained as blood dripped from both of his hands.
"Maybe some more pain will take your mind off it!" Jackson replied as he used his switchblade to slash both of Ralphie's legs. Ralphie screamed as blood poured out of the wounds in his legs.
"Awww, did that hurt? Well, maybe I should cut your feet as well!" Jackson taunted Ralphie. Jackson used his switchblade to stab Ralphie's feet through his trainers.
"Ah! HOW DID YOU EVEN DO THAT THROUGH MY SHOES?!" Ralphie asked incredulously.
"Well that would be telling, wouldn't it?" Jackson replied smugly.
"Why did I go on this trip?!" Ralphie asked as he continued to bleed onto the ground. Normally, it was Arnold who'd complain about going on Ms Frizzle's field trips, but after encountering an actual serial killer, Ralphie was seriously reconsidering going on any more field trips if he somehow managed to survive the current stabbing rampage. Jackson used his switchblade to slash open Ralphie's stomach which caused his intestines to spill out, along with a considerable amount of blood. Ralphie began to scream again at what he could feel and see.
"Aahhhh! My stomach!" Ralphie screamed as blood poured out of his stomach. Ralphie was appalled to see his intestines come out of his body, he knew how important they were to the digestive system, something he remembered from the time Ms Frizzle took him and the rest of the class inside of Arnold with the Magic School Bus to learn all about what happens to food once it's eaten.
"That's quite an accident that you've had there, Ralphie." Jackson taunted Ralphie. Jackson used his switchblade to slash both of Ralphie's arms which resulted in more wounds that blood poured out of.
"I think I'm going to be sick." Ralphie said, moments later, he began to throw up from how much he'd been stabbed.
"What's the matter Ralphie, can't keep your food down?" Jackson asked sarcastically. Ralphie began to feel very weak as he struggled to remain conscious due to the blood loss and trauma.
"Please don't hurt the other kids in my class!" Ralphie pleaded as he began to cough up blood.
"Don't worry, Ralphie. They won't be spared from the fun!" Jackson replied as he turned Ralphie over onto his stomach and stabbed him in the butt with his switchblade.
"Ow! My butt! It hurts!" Ralphie complained as he coughed up more blood.
"What's the matter, Ralphie? Sounds like you have a bit of a cough there!" Jackson taunted Ralphie. Ralphie pretended to not hear Jackson's pun then, it was somehow worse than anything Carlos had ever come up with.
"Jackson, you're a rotten piece of shit! I hope you get what's coming to you!" Ralphie said as he coughed up some more blood. Jackson turned Ralphie around once again and slashed at his chest with his switchblade which opened up yet another wound which blood flowed out.
"Aahhhh! That one was near my heart!" Ralphie complained as blood pooled on the ground around him. Ralphie knew how important the heart was to the human body's circulation and respiratory systems from another one of Ms Frizzle's field trips with the Magic School Bus, specifically when Valerie herself was competing against Mr Sinew in the annual Teacher-athalon.
"I don't usually take this long murdering my victims, but considering how much of a pillock you are, I'm making this as slow and painful as possible!" Jackson replied viciously as he stabbed Ralphie twice through the torso puncturing both of his lungs.
"No! *cough* Please *cough* Stop it! *cough*" Ralphie complained as he found it harder and harder to breathe. Ralphie knew his lungs were important too, as he learnt in the aforementioned trip inside Ms Frizzle's body.
"Oh, what's that?! You want MORE of this?! SURE!" Jackson replied sarcastically. Jackson raised his switchblade again and cut a long gash where Ralphie's heart was located.
"Aaahhh! *cough* Stop it! *cough* Please! *cough* No more! *cough* My heart can't take it anymore! *cough*" Ralphie complained as he coughed up more blood. Ralphie was shocked at the fact he'd been attacked where the heart was for the second time.
"Well, Ralphie, as much fun as it's been, I'm afraid I've got places to go, people to kill! So I'm gonna have to stop screwing around now, and kill ya!" Jackson taunted viciously as he put the switchblade against Ralphie's throat.
"No! *cough* No! *cough* Stop! *cough* Don't! *cough*" Ralphie cried as Jackson cut his throat from ear to ear with his switchblade. Ralphie made a gurgling noise while more blood flowed from the latest wound, he twitched a few times, before he expired.
"So long, you little prick!" Jackson taunted Ralphie, though the boy obviously couldn't hear it due to him being dead. Jackson stabbed Ralphie in the head with his switchblade which caused another wound that blood flowed from.
"That's one of the bastard students down. However, there's still seven more of them out there. Maybe they should have listened to that wop before they came here in the first place, otherwise he and their stupid bitch ass teacher would still be alive!" Jackson said to himself as he laughed like a maniac over his latest kill. Jackson stood up, he walked off into the woods in search of more targets.
