With the appearance of their friend Claire and her subsequent fainting did not help the current situation.
So Connor and Keys placed Claire in one of the pitched tents and started to discuss what to do next.
Keys said that maybe they could bail out with or without Claire and leave these guys like this, or maybe dispose of them some way or the other. But the practical Connor rejected Keys' idea but he asked Keys to make sure the dead are actually dead because they could be passed out drunk and they are none the wiser.
So for the next hour or so They check on their friends for signs of life and moving the ones having it aside, and in the end only two of them had some promise that they are or could be alive.
The friends then put Melody and Perry with Claire and got out of the tent to see the clouds have covered over Blackwater forest and rains started to pour. Hence they decided to wait out the rain.
Time passed, as the sky cleared, Keys and Connor got out of the tent to move the bodies of their friends but to their surprise...the bodies were neatly organised in a pile and on a closer inspection they saw a trail of footsteps that led towards the north of the campfire. The same direction Keys came from.
They scratched their heads on what to do next which was cut short when a voice of one of their friends emerged from the tent. So Keys told Connor to check on them while he'll follow the footsteps and Connor ran back to the tent as Keys left. When he opened the tent, he saw Melody barely waking up and upon seeing the blood on her hands she tried to faint but was caught by Connor who kept her awake.
The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
Meanwhile Keys followed the trail and reached the open air house by trees now lightless and abandoned where he saw his friends'...heads hanging down the nearby clothesline...and the blood from their necks dropped drip by drip into a small puddle under them.
The air around Keys felt cold as if someone turned the ac on. He tried to move away but couldn't, shift his gaze away but couldn't... He was stuck without his will to act. But as the silence around Keys except for the sounds dripping blood felt unnatural, a sound of a knife sharpening is heard through the house and he got his motor controls just enough to see a shadowy figure approach from the darkness of the house.
Parallelly, Melody calmed down in the hands of Connor and asked what happened and he quickly summarised what happened from his perspective to melody and asked what happened from her perspective.
She told him that, they were drunk, sexually aroused, and high from the shrooms that Sarah and Walt found. And she moved out the campsite to pee and rub one out while others kept dancing. When she was about orgasam, she heard screams.
So she rushed back and hid behind a tree to see someone choking Tyler while the others lay on the floor lifeless...as life slowly fizzled out from Tyler, Melody took a step back in fear and accidentally stepped on a twig to bring the attention of Tyler's killer to her and the killer who maintained side eye contact with her, took a glass bottle and threw on the tree to scare melody and it worked as she passed out instantly.
Connor, who listened to this attentively asked Melody, who the killer is and she thought for a second to bring the face of the killer in her mind and here face went pale as she said... It was Keys.
