Friday the Thirteenth:Camp Everfree

They always said the first day at camp was the most fun. They could of been more wrong, at least to me anyway. The girls and I went and helped get everyone lined up along the bus as we were greeted by the two main camp Counselors Gloriossa Daisy and her brother Tim, who took an immediate liking to Twilight, even though Flash was right next to her glaring daggers at him. This took Twilight by surprise. So i decided to fill her in when I got the chance.

"You know how you met your double from the pony world?", I asked her with the most innocent look I could get by with making. It wasn't hard for her to forget that there was another version of herself out there. And from I had over heard when they met, it had sounded like she wanted to switch places for a day to see what Equestria was like for herself. I didn't blame her, I planned on returning home permanantly after this whole trip to camp was over. I had to go, I was just so homesick these last few days, that I wasn't sure how much longer I could take it. I had even told Princess Twilight about how much it was hurting lately to just not slip through the portal when my friends werent looking just to run crying back into Celestia's hooves and ask forgiveness for how stupid I had been. It took me all these to realize that I was nowhere near ready to be a Princess, much less to rule an entire nation whose needs I had no idea how to sustain.

"Well, Flash has a thing for her, so he kind looks at you the way a brother or boyfriend looks when he thinks someone's moving in on his territory,"I explained to her as Princess Twilight walked up next to me. It didn't surprise me in the least. We had traded letters the other day in the journal.

The other day.

"It's ok Sunset, I know Celestia misses you with all the news I've shared with her. She was proud of you for standing up for my human Counterpart, and for taking the steps towards understanding the magic of friendship the way you have,", I knew her words were meant to comfort me, I just could shake the feelings I was having none the less. If everything went to plan, I'd be saying my goodbyes to my friends here in a week or two. That was if it went according to plan. Things tend to go crazy when Magic is involved.

Camp Everfree

Everyone was getting ready to circle around the middle of the camp for scary stories before being handed the directions to their cabins. Tim as the first to start it off.

" Have you ever heard the story of Gaia Everfree?", his words sounded sad and yet somewhat haunting with the way he had arranged them. Everyone around the campfire, even Twilight, huddled closer before nodding their heads to the side in the usual sign of no.

"Its said that she haunts these very woods, searching for lost campers to add to her collection of souls to devour,", I'm sure the last part was meant to be creepy, but telling from his posture, even he didn't fully believe the story he was telling us. That was when Rainbow Dash raised her hand and asked if she could tell one, to which Tim and Gloriossa both smiled and obliged her.

" Have you ever heard the story of the Man in the Lake?", I could feel a slight chill go done my spine, as did Twilight, when Dash started telling her ghost story. I looked around and noticed that out of everyone listening, Principal Celestia and her sister Luna's faces had lost all color. It wasn't Rainbow was half way into her story that Celestia got up and went over to her, placing a hand on Dash's shoulder before asking to stop for the night. Apparently it was getting dark out, so her and Gloriossa agreed that we needed to get our rest before starting up any camp activities tomorrow.

"Ive never seen them like that before,", i told Rainbow as we proceeded to our Cabins. I was sharing one with AJ, of course, and Twi and RD got one of their own. Pinkie ended up rooming with Fluttershy, and that Vinyl girl ended up with Octavia Melody, an aspiring cellist that I had the fortune to take music class with. Her mastery of the cello was enough to put us all to sleep. And I'm not saying that in a bad, it was so melodic and flawless that I could just fall asleep listening to it at night.

Sunset and AJ's Cabin

I swear if I had been an apple tree, the way she was thrusting her tongue in out from between my legs would of had the force to split me in half. Applejack was just so strong and yet so thoughtful when we were having sex together. I untied the braid in her ponytail and watched her golden blonde hair wash over her shoulder like a wave of glistening yellow silk. We were so lost in each others grip that a century could of passed and we would of barely noticed. I flipped her on her back and ripped off her boots and her panties, as i slid my fore fingers in and out of her pussy, listening to her moan in the process. She sounded like she was really enjoying too. That was when I pushed her legs apart and slid my tongue into her snatch and started to licking her back.

As the juices started to flow and we both went back to kissing each other passionately, I thought I had heard a noise coming from outside of the Cabin. I turned to AJ and could tell from the look on her face that she must of heard the same noise, almost like the crunching of leaves under a pair of work boots. I looked out the window in time to see something that should not of been possible. There was a man walking up out of the lake. It was like something out of a dream, more so a nightmare. He was walking as if he had a purpose, but looked like a corpse almost. It was hard to tell with the clothes he was wearing, but the best way to describe him was 6 feet tall, with coverall style pants, a tattered shirt, and some kind of overcoat/ surplus styled jacket on. What scared was that I could not see this guys face. He was wearing a hockey mask of all things. Applejack and I both put our clothes back on and snuck out of the Cabin without this guy noticing, and slipped over to Twilight and Rainbow's cabin.

Apparently they were entertaining each other when I softly tapped on the door and asked to come in. Rainbow was the one to look at us oddly as she opened the door to reveal us crouching on the ground next it.

"What are you..", She started to say before AJ clasped her hand over Dash's mouth and we all went inside.

"What was the rest of that story you started telling us before Celestia stopped you,", I asked her, constantly checking the window to make sure that creep wasn't trying to spy on us or anything. Rainbow began telling the rest of the story, at least what she remembered from her parents telling her. I started to get a sinking feeling as she continued on with it.

"All I know is that the camp changed its named like fifty years ago after a kid drowned in the lake,"she paused for a moment, as if the next part of it froze her in her tracks," but the freaky part is that he kept coming back everytime the camp counselors or teens were caught doing immoral things, like having sex without being married or some crap like that.", As she said this I looked out the window in time to see this guy walking right over to the cabin that housed Lyra and Bon Bon, and to watch him withdraw a machete from his belt!

"We need to GO!", I nearly yelled, sending Twilight tumbling for a moment.

"HE"S ABOUT TO KILL LYRA!" I shouted as I bolted out the door, catching his full attention, and everyone else's in the camp too. If this were any other situation I would of facepalmed myself. He pulled the machete all the way out and lumbered over to where we were, arching it above his head as he prepared to bring it down on me. I found myself being pulled to my feet by Applejack as we all ran towards where Pinkie and Fluttershy were standing. We all took off running towards the forest as we could hear screams echoing from behind us. I realized that we had just left all our class mates at the hands of that monster, who or whatever he was.

Applejack held me as I started to cry. All I could do at that moment was cry. We found an abandoned log cabin in the middle of the forest with two more run down cabins next to it, along with a 1956 Chevy Bel Air rotting and rusting next to it. We all hunkered down in the larger cabin until daybreak creeped over the forest a few hours later. During the summer the days were a bit shorter then normal. We decided to head back in the morning and access the damage to the camp, and to see if anyone else was alive to say the least. When we got back, the sight sickened me, there were bodies everywhere. The blood had already started soaking into the ground, turning it a deep crimson color. Luckily we did find some survivors.

Lyra and Bon Bon were ok, along with Vinyl, Octavia, Derpy, Trixie, and of course Flash. The dead were another matter. Celestia and Luna were found cleaved in two while trying to get back into their cabin. The same with Gloriossa and her brother Tim. He had bled out from multiple stab wounds, while her head had been taken clean off her shoulders. She had been decapitated, and I could tell that it was enough to make both Fluttershy and Twilight throw up right then and there.

We all realized that the bus wouldn't be back for another four or five days. We had to find a way to hold out till then. It wasn't going to be easy but we just had to. There was no way in hell that I was going to die here without letting Celestia know how much I missed her. And if I did die, so would my secret. A secret that no one, not even Princess Twilight knew. A secret that was mine as much as it was Celestia's.

You see I'm not just her former pupil, I'm also the daughter she kept hidden from the world.
