Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Carrot Top motioned to Octavia to get her pistols ready. Once Octie had her weapons in hoof, Carrot Top got her bow and an arrow and gave a motion to kill. Carrot Top aimed at Braeburn's head and released the arrow.  It went clean through his skull.  He fell down motionless as the other two looked around and got to cover. Carrot Top had a clear shot of Dash's head.  She released another bow, but Dashie caught it.  Carrot Top gasped and quickly took out a thermal arrow and shot it at Dash. This time Dash shot the arrow in mid air with an M9. She picked up a rock and hurled it at the tent Octavia was in.  It hit the tent with a large thud, except the tent wasn't the thing that thudded. A stream of blood pored out of the tent. Octie was dead.

When Vinyl saw this she screamed in anger and jumped on Time Turner. She repeatedly beat his face in with her hoof, when Rainbow Dash ran up to push her off, she grabbed a Cat of Nine Tails and slung it at her face. It tore out part of her cheek, and her entire right eye. She covered her eye and started weeping from the pain.  She tried to stop the flow of blood, but she couldn't.  She grabbed some medical supplies and wrapped her eye as Vinyl beat Turner to a pulp.  She put on an eye patch and knocked Vinyl unconscious.

Vinyl woke up in chains at an unknown camp. She looked around to examine the environment.  The place was in a forest, lots of pine trees. There was brick wall surrounding the camp. It was completely solid, with the exception of gun emplacements. Small bunkers held these emplacements, in fact they held about two emplacements each. An automatic machine gun, and an automatic thermal canon.

Vinyl smelt the air, it smelt like rotting flesh.  She looked to the side and jumped at what she saw. It was Octavia...or what was left of her. A large cut had swollen up on her head, where the rock hit. Octavia's carcass was covered in swarming blow flies looking for good places to place their larva. Vinyl felt a tear roll down her cheek as she saw the maggots digging through her dead friend's eyes and mouth.

The most frightening thing however, was the fact that Octavia's right eye was open, and looking straight at Vinyl. As for her other eye, it was gone and anything left was being devoured by larva.  Vinyl stared into the eye of her dead friend. She felt guilty for all the torment she had delivered. It was as if the carcass still had some of Octavia's spirit within, and telling Vinyl,

Look what you did to me...This is your fault...You did this...

Vinyl covered her face and started to weep. She looked back and everything went black. Vinyl was nonetheless confused by this. She looked at Octavia's corpse. It started to rise.  Vinyl was scared out of her mind she let out a scream. As the corpse reached out it's hooves to Vinyl, a bullet tore through it's head. Vinyl saw Rainbow Dash with a glock in her hand. She shot the corpse three more times until it became completely motionless.

"You might not want to watch this, Vinyl." Dash said as she pulled out a huge knife. Vinyl looked away, but back just before Dash sliced Octie's head clean off. Vinyl lost her breath and fell back unconscious.
