The two of them woke up the next morning, curled up to each other under a blanket.

Green Heart was the first to wake up next to Gloriosa.

She yawned as she swung her legs over the bed and grabbed her crutches. She stood up and cringed a bit from being so sore.

Damn.. Last night really took a toll on me.. She grunted a bit as she grabbed her blanket off the bed and wrapped it around herself before heading out of the lodge, letting Gloriosa sleep.

Most of the girls were huddled by the campfire as it was lit and seemed to be warming up the campers.

This morning it was rather cold and foggy outside, and since everyone but her and Gloriosa had to sleep in a tent, the others were freezing.

But Green Heart felt cold as soon as she stepped outside.

Afterall, she was only wearing shorts and a t-shirt. It wasn't much to keep her warm.

Green Heart headed over to the Campfire where the other campers all sat.

She sat beside Sugarcoat and shivered a bit.

“M-morning..” Her teeth shattered.

Sugarcoat looked at her, the most groggy she had ever looked in a long time.

“Ugh, Morning.. I'm so fucking cold right now.. This fire isn't doing anything.” She replied as she moved her glasses up her face a bit. Her face cringing at the cold metal on her nose.

“Yeah, same.. I'm also really sore.” Green Heart replied.

“From what?!”

A sudden feeling of arms wrapping around Green Heart’s neck made her jump a bit.

It was Lemon Zest.

“Morning morning! Did everyone sleep good?!” She asked hyperactivity.

“Ugh.. Lemon.. How are you so energetic this morning.. I feel like I just woke up from being thrown in a lake.” Green Heart groaned.

Everyone else around her nodded in agreement.

“Aww come on! Lighten up guys! Let's get up and move!!” Lemon Zest exclaimed and grabbed Green Heart from under her arms and tried to pull her up.

But she was only elbowed in the chest.

Lemon Zest backed off with a laugh after she saw the aggression and knew Green Heart wasn't in the best mood.

“Yo, dude.. You look so dead. How long were you up until last night?” Lemon Zest snickered as she sat down beside her.

“Ugh, not that long.” Green Heart sneered to counteract her flusteredness.

Lemon Zest frowned and put an arm around Green Heart.

Even though the fog was thick, the sight of everyone else could be seen as they headed towards the campfire. Even Gloriosa.

She looked just as tired as Green Heart as she scanned the campers. They all looked cold and tired.

“Good morning everyone! We all look like happy campers!” Gloriosa said cheerfully, trying to hide how exhausted she was from last night. She definitely didn't get enough sleep.

Everyone groaned or just rolled their eyes as Gloriosa's proclaim.

Gloriosa dragged her feet over to Green Heart and leaned down on her knees in front of her.

“Hey there, you look exhausted, and tired.. Want a hot cocoa?~” She whispered.

Green Heart smiled up at her secret lover. “Absolutely.. I won't deny that..” she whispered back.

Gloriosa stood up straight and looked at everyone before hurrying off to the lodge, “I'll be back!”

At the lodge, Gloriosa started up the kettle and prepped a cup with the chocolate powder in it.

“Gloriosa, we need to talk.” A stern voice could be heard. It was her brother, Timber.

“Jeez Timber, you really need to stop sneaking up on me like that!” She giggled.

“I'm being serious.. about this missing camper. I need to know, are you behind it?” He asked, approaching Gloriosa as she franicked around the kitchen.

“Absolutely.” Gloriosa sighed.

“Why Gloriosa?? Why?! Do you know how bad this is?! Do you know how easily you could get caught?! This is bad! What did she do to make you angry?!” Timber’s jaw almost dropped. But at the same time he wasn't very surprised. He knew that this was the only reasonable explanation to as why Sour Sweet was gone.

“Oh please, you can't tell me you didn't notice that girl bullying Green Heart, you just can't!”

“Gloriosa, you can’t just kill people you don’t like!” He argued back.

“Timber! I thought you understood me!” Gloriosa put a hand to her chest and frowned.

“I Do understand you Gloriosa!.. But that doesn't mean what You're doing is wrong! This isn't good!”

Gloriosa finished making up the hot cocoa, then she approached Timber and glared.

Timber sighed and gave her a look of pity,

“There's no way the police won't get involved.”

Gloriosa snickered at that remark.

“They never do Timber.. They never do..” She shook her head as she walked off. Finally saying “Besides, she's not even dead yet..” lastly, before heading out of the lodge at back to the group.

Green Heart stood up to stretch a bit and try to warm up. So she decided to take a walk to the tents.

The fog made it a little eerie to walk through alone, but it was nothing she couldn't handle.

Once making her way to the tents, she looked around to see where Her’s was.

She paused though when she could hear the sound of someone breathing heavily.

Green Heart’s legs shook a bit. She wanted to bolt back to the fire pit so badly, but her legs wouldn't move.

“H-Hello?... “ She gulped a bit.

“Green Heart! Oh my goodness! Thank God it's only you!”

The familiar voice of Sunny Flare could be heard as she had suddenly came running out of the fog in front of her.

She put her hands on Green Heart's shoulders.

“S-Sour Sweet.. You share a tent with her.. Did she?..”

Green Heart gave Sunny Flare a look of sympathy as she shook her head slowly.

“I-I see..” Sunny Flare replied as she put her head down and walked off without saying another word.

Green Heart sighed and headed back to the firepit, and helped Sunny Flare guide her there.

Back at the fire pit, Green Heart sat back in her spot beside Lemon Zest, as they all continued to make small talk and shiver.

Sunny Flare sat alone, looking down at the ground with one of the most depressed expressions on her face Green Heart had ever seen.

The other group of Shadowbolts had noticed this extreme change in Sunny Flare’s expression.

“Hey!” Indigo Zap shouted, “Why such low brows Sunny?!” She exclaimed, wanting to get her full attention.

Sunny Flare slowly put her head up to look at Indigo, but her head just dropped right back down.

“Helloooo?! Dude! Answer me!” Indigo Zap almost snorted. Finding Sunny Flare’s whole attitude humorous.

Sunny Flare’s body began to shake, and she closed her eyes tightly. The depressed look on her face changed to an angry one. It didn’t take her long to stand up and glare at everyone.

“Look at you all! Why do you think I’m angry?! Maybe because Sour Sweet is missing, and none of us are doing ANYTHING about it!” She paused for a moment.

She now had everyone’s attention, and everyone around the campfire was staring at her with wide eyes.

“Why isn’t anyone doing anything about this?! Isn’t anyone else worried?! You’re all horrible people for not even being concerned about this! What if she’s lost?! What if she was attacked by something?! Does nobody care?!”

Those were Sunny Flare’s last words before she sat back down and hid away her face with her knees and arms.

Everyone remained speechless. Timber had came over and sat down beside her to comfort and tell her that he was doing everything in his power to help. But did not mention his sister.

At this exact time, Gloriosa had came back to the fire pit with a hidden hot cocoa behind her back.

“Sorry for the wait everyone, why don’t we all get up and do some warm activities while we wait for this fog to clear up?”

Everyone just kind of looked around at Gloriosa. It was a bit of an awkward time for her to pop in, right after Sunny Flare had just finished yelling her guts out.

The campers got up with Timber leading, they all just started to do random movements to try and warm themselves up.

Gloriosa approached Green Heart with the hot cocoa and presented it in front of her.

“Ah yes! Perfect! Thank you so much!~” She murmured happily to her and grabbed it from her and started sipping it right away.

Gloriosa giggled. “It’s nothing! I’m glad to make you happy.”

Since her and Green Heart where away from the group of, now jumping campers. Green Heart decided to snatch a quick kiss on the lips from her before running off to the tent to put on warmer clothes.

“I’ll be back in a bit campers! I’ve gotta go clean out the lodge!~” Gloriosa exclaimed happily before running off. Not to the lodge, but back into the bushes behind the outhouse near the rock climbing wall, and took the trail back to her so called ‘den’.

She squeezed in between those same rocks and hopped down the stairs.

She looked around at the small area, then at the still pinned up Sour Sweet on the large wooden board.

Her head was drooping down and her eyes were closed, her body seemed to be frozen as it sat there.

“Oh don't tell me You're dead already?~” Gloriosa laughed as she approached the helpless body.

Sour Sweet let out a sudden gasp as she awoke from a rest her body had taken on.

She looked up at Gloriosa, barely any life left in her eyes.

“N-Ngh.. Why.. Just, please.. Kill me.. Kill me now.. Please..” She groaned. Her voice had never sounded so rough and dead.

“Hmp, not yet. I still need to wake you up from that little slumber this morning. Everyone else is awake and oh so, cold.. But you, you look so warm.” Gloriosa smirked as she quickly slapped Sour Sweet across her blood covered face.

Sour Sweet let out a small whimper when she felt the terrible beating on her cheeks.

“Ha. Now you're awake bitch.” Gloriosa laughed. “But hold on.. You seem to be pretty warm.. Why don't we freeze you up a bit, just like the others, shall we?”

“What.. What are you planning?..” Sour Sweet’s voice shook.

Gloriosa shrugged her shoulders and dragged her feet away from Sour Sweet, towards the cabinet that had all of the jars and tools. She pulled open the top, and most large shelf and pulled out a large canister type pot with a lid.

It seemed to have a thin layer of ice coating on it and the condensation added to how cold this canister looked.

Gloriosa quickly brought the canister to the trolley. It was hardly believable that the small trolley could hold such a large canister.

Then, after setting down the large canister, Gloriosa slipped on some thick leather gloves that sat on the trolley.

She grabbed hold of the handle that was attached to the top of the lid and pulled it off, throwing it on the floor.

Once the lid was lifted off the canister, thick white smoke had bubbled right out of it, like it was waiting to be released.

Sour Sweet watched Gloriosa's every move at this point. Her body shook. But she couldn't feel a thing.

Gloriosa grabbed a set of tongs from off the trolley and stretched them with her fingers and stuck them into the canister.

Not long after picking out a large piece of what appeared to be, dry ice.

“What is that?” Sour Sweet trembled.

“You'll find out soon.~” Gloriosa replied with a big smirk on her face.

Grabbing the dry ice piece with her protected fingers and putting the tongs aside.

She approached Sour Sweet slowly, and bent down in front of her to line her face with Sour Sweet’s.

“Aww, you're shaking~ Don't worry, I'll end your suffering, you poor soulless thing.” Gloriosa showed a fake face of pity.

She grabbed hold of her chin and squished her face with one hand.

She held the piece of dry ice to her face with her other hand.

“Any last words my dear?” She smiled evilly.

“N-No! What are you doing?! S-Stop! No!” Sour Sweet shook her head, her words were unclear as she tried to pull her head away from Gloriosa's grasp.

Gloriosa laughed at her begging.

She forcefully pulled down Sour Sweet’s jaw and looked inside her mouth with a wide smirk covering her face.

Sour Sweet Tried her hardest to move her head around, but Gloriosa's pull on her jaw was just too strong against her weakened body and muscle. She could barely even keep her eyes open.

Gloriosa took one last deep breath and giggle in excitement, before then shoving the large piece of large dry ice into Sour Sweet's mouth.

“N-NO! N-” Sour Sweet didn't have a chance to say another word before Gloriosa has closed her mouth shut.

Using as much strength as she could, Gloriosa held her jaw with two fingers on each side of Sour Sweet's face, causing her teeth to move in a chewing motion.

“Chew it bitch! Chew it!” Gloriosa demanded.

Sour Sweet could only moan out in agony as she felt the burning sensation on her inner cheeks and gums of her mouth and in between her teeth.

They became numb as the dry ice was forcefully being crushed with her teeth in her mouth.

As the sharp chips of the dry ice cut in between the gums of her teeth, they began to bleed, and her mouth started spewing out blood all over herself, and Gloriosa's hand.

Gloriosa forcefully shut her mouth closed again and pressed her chin up into the air, so her head was up.

“Swallow it!” She demanded again.

Sour Sweet wanted to the torture to end, so she only obliged and swallowed what was left of the large chunk of dry ice.

It immediately got stuck in her throat as it froze to the sides of her esophagus. It began to choke and burning the inside of her throat.

Sour Sweet gasped for air. But she could not reach it as she began coughing up thick amounts of blood.

Her mouth flooded in thick, dark red blood as it pour out of her mouth. It looked like a fountain of red food colouring, except much more thick.

Gloriosa moved her hand away and watch in fascination as Sour Sweet had finally came to a stop.

Her head lie not so peacefully in the air as her mouth hung open like a hatch. Blood slowly dripping down from her lips. Some drops trickled from her face to her chin.

Her body twitched as it quietly lied there, officially dead.

Gloriosa grabbed the knife that held up her right arm and pulled it from her and threw it on the ground. Then quickly retrieving an empty jar.

She sat on her knees, proceeding to take the knife, setting the edge of the blade to the left side of Sour Sweet's neck. She added pressure, then quickly scratched landscape along her neck.

Causing blood to shoot out of her throat, Gloriosa put the empty jar to her bleed throat, quickly filling up the jar.

After that, Gloriosa put the fresh jar of Sour Sweet's thick blood back into the drawer with others.

Then, quietly, She began to clear everything up and then let loose Sour Sweet's bounded body and threw the corpse over top of her shoulders and headed out of her so called “den”.

Gloriosa followed along the same normal hiking path for about 15 minutes before coming to a stop by a tree that had a long, metal shovel with a wooden handle.

She threw the corpse on the ground and immediately began digging.

For about half an hour it took her some time to dig a large hole to fit the corpse it.

She kicked the now dead Sour Sweet into the deep hole and immediately began throwing dirt back in, burying her small body into the ground.

After an hour of perfectly having everything back to normal from where she dug, Gloriosa wiped her forehead and looked up at the sky, it was almost lunch.

“That was fun.. But I should definitely head back to the campers now~” She giggled before hiding the shovel behind a tree, and headed back to the lodge to clean up and begin to prep a lunch for the lovely campers..
