Friday the Thirteenth:Camp Everfree

Sonata Dusk awoke to find she was no longer on the bus with Sunset, but now in a run down Boiler Room. She could see what looked to be dozens of newspaper clippings scattered all over the walls of the place. She also got the sense that she was being watched by something and it felt almost inhuman. She found that she couldn't wake herself, that it was like something was keeping her asleep and against her own will. She walked down what looked like a hallway leading out of the room that she was currently standing in and realized only now that she had come to a dead end. She turned around to come face to face with a horribly burned man, wearing a single glove adorned with razor-sharp blades.

His body was covered in burns and scars, at least she could tell this by the way his face and neck were horribly scarred by burns. The rest of his body was covered over by a tattered red and black sweater and torn black khaki pants. The sweater was of arm length, but that didn't stop Sonata from feeling unnerved by the whole sight. She tried to back away from him, but soon found herself up against a wall that appeared out of nowhere. If this was her mind, and he could affect her dreams, there was no telling what kind of hell he could make for her.

Apparently that wasnt his goal, not this time at least. From the look he was giving her, he had something special that he wanted her to pass on to the others that were with her. As he crept closer to Sonata, the smile on his face only seemed to widen. His claws clacked against the walls of her mind, almost like metal scratching against a barricade that only she had visualized.

She didn't want him so close to her. She could smell the rotten breath that was escaping his mouth. And he could tell this by the way she was looking at him now. He was used to this, he was after all a thing of nightmares. There had been a time where the children of Canterlot feared his name. The Police had covered up his death, attributing it to a freak accident in his basement.

It was anything but an accident, and he knew it. Before Sunset's arrival in the human world, her counterpart had gone missing several years ago. Her body was never found, but Freddy was accused of being the one that kidnapped her. Her leather jacket had been found in his van, and that was enough to arrest him according to the Police.

Freddy Krueger, that was his name Sonata realized. She was in the presence of a true monster. Thinking back to the Battle of the Bands, Sonata realized that she had never wanted to hurt anyone there at Canterlot High. Everything they had done was always Adagio's idea. It started to make the Siren believe that she could have stopped her own sister at any time. The only thing that had held her back was fear.

And it all clicked in her head. Even back then she could feel a presence, dark and sinister, feeding off of that negative energy. The presence that was right in front of her now.

"What's a matter?", he commented," The sun got your tongue?", and with that statement he held up Sunset's severed head, prompting Sonata to almost scream. What kind of sick games did he have planned? She was too scared to say anything, and he had just happened to take notice, opting to speak first.

She watched him let out a maniacal laugh. As he did so he placed his gloved hand over his chest, but not before stretching out his hand and pointing at Sonata, then drawing it back albeit with that wicked grin covering his face again.

"Ah, We'll get to that ,", he mused. she felt immobilized by a sudden onset of fear. A fear she hadn't felt since the Battle of the Bands, before her and Sunset had met again and grown close. And he could see it, or maybe even smell it if that were possible. What was it about him that filled her so much dread? She couldn't get away from it for some reason.

"Who are you, What do you want from me?", her response escaped her lips with a noticeable tremble. She didn't want to be this scared ever again, and yet this thing in front of her seemed to be soaking up her fear like a sponge.

"My name isn't important right now , Just the message,", his tone was as cold as the gaze coming from his eyes, so devoid of warmth and emotion. It was something she wasn't quite used to seeing reflected back. She could feel him lift her shirt as a he carved the message on to her back.

He did it in a manner that would kill her, but the scars would be with her for a very long time. She closed her eyes as he started to monolgue again, but something was different now. She could feel someone shaking her, like they were trying to get her to wake up. That was when she heard a familiar voice.

Sonata woke up screaming. She had been jostled awake by Sunset, who now had a worried look in her eyes. That look faded to relief as Sonata awoke and wrapped her arms around her girlfriend. She wanted to tell Sunset right away about her dream, before Discord turned to all of them and announced they were now getting close to the high school.

Back at Camp Everfree

Luna awoke to the sound of rustling and looked to see the monster that had butchered her sister lumbering off into the woods. No doubt looking for more survivors to murder. She had been lucky that the machete had made contact with the table and not her head. She made the choice to play dead in the off chance he fell for it, which he did. She could only look over to where Celestia was rested, and silently grieve for her sister. The machete had nearly cleaved the top half of Celestia's torso in half, leaving nothing but a bloody mess in it's place. Luna had to get back to the High school to warn someone of what had transpired at the camp. She wasn't even aware that Sunset and her friends had made it out alive. She prayed that if she made it back alive herself, she would hug that girl like there was no tomorrow.

She made sure that her noise output was low enough that hopefully that lumbering beast would not hear her crunching of the leaves beneath her feet just to come and kill her off like he had intended.
