They fixed Alice's leg to the best of their abilities with the limited supplies they had in Cindy's bag. After a heartfelt moment between the previous friends, Cindy stopped and stared over Alices' shoulder, looking at the moss on the wall.

"This. This moss, it stained my shirt. The outhouse!" Cindy exclaimed standing up. She and Melissa used their torches to look around the dark area, "This stuff is all over the outhouse. Camp. It means we're close!" The girls share a laugh of relief. 

Ziggy removes the screwdriver keeping Shelia locked in the outhouse and opens the door. Aurora stands close behind her keeping an eye out for the unknown murderer. Ziggy notices all the bugs crawling on the floor but doesn't see Shelia.

"Shelia? Shelia, are you still in here?" She calls out walking further in as Aurora takes a step towards the door. "Shelia?" She asks once again, looking into the stall where they pranked her.

"You bitch!" 

Ziggy screams as Shelia grabs her from behind, both girls begin fighting as Aurora tries to explain about the murderer while watching out the door for danger.

"Do you smell that?" Melissa asks gagging, "It smells like shit." She added. They continue walking before Alice notices something.

"Is that toilet paper?"

"It's the outhouse. It's got to be." Cindy voices, "There it is, look!" she says pointing up as they can hear shouting and the sounds of a fight.

"I'm trying to help you! There's a killer-" Ziggy shouts but Shelia ignores her, continuing to fight. Aurora irritated with the progress rushes in and inserts herself into the fight. Throwing one well-aimed punch, she knocks Shelia to the ground who bangs her head prompting her to fall unconscious. 

"Oh shit! You know how to punch" Ziggy says looking at Shelia with wide surprised eyes. Both girls gasped in fright as Gary puts a hand on both of their shoulders.

"I heard shouting. What's going-" He pauses as Shelia catches his eye and Ziggy asks if everyone's okay, "No! Everyone's headed back to the Mess Hall. Where's Nick?" The three of them all look at each other as they hear muffled shouts for help, "you hear that?"

Ziggy and Aurora walk over to the bathroom stall and get on their knees near the toilet. Opening it Ziggy puts her face closer before noticing three people who were missing.

"Cindy?"

"Ziggy? Oh my god!"

The sisters talk for a moment before Ziggy tries to find something to get them up. Closing the lid she stands up to grab the bucket and the rope,

"What is going on? Who was that?" Aurora questions.

"My sister's in the toilet with Melissa and Alice" She explains,

"What?" Gary asks bewildered, acting like Ziggy had grown an extra limb.

"Gary! Just help me!"

"Get on! We're pulling you up!" Ziggy shouts down lowering the bucket towards them. All three girls smile in happiness at the thought of finally getting out. Cindy tells Alice to go first as she has an injured ankle. Alice sat on the bucket as the three of them started pulling her up as fast as they could. Gary and Aurora turn around as they hear the door creak open slowly behind them.

"Tommy! Tommy, what are you doi-" But Gary doesn't get to finish as Tommy decapitated him. Aurora screams as Gary's body falls down the toilet and she loses grip of the rope trying to avoid the same fate. Ziggy and Aurora fall back into each other to dodge the axe and Alice drops back down into the cave.

Tommy takes a swing at Ziggy before Aurora kicks his knee inwards and they run out of the outhouse together as fast as they can, leaving the girls behind who scream their sisters' names.

The girls continue to run until Aurora runs right into Nick who grabs her close to his body. 

"What are you doing out here?" Nick asks in shock. Ziggy reveals that "he's here" briefly as Nick tugs them towards science and nature. Both girls run in looking for a hiding spot while Nick locks the door before joining them. 

"Did we lose them?" 

"Yeah, I think so. Are you both okay? You hurt?" Nick asks looking at the blood on their tops, Rory reaches out for his hand and he happily complies. He uses his other hand to assess any injuries she might have.

"It's not our blood, Nick. It's Gary's. And yours?" Aurora speaks quietly in hysteria at what she witnessed. 

"Um... Sean, Jesse, Rod, Stacey" He stutters.

"Shadysiders. It's the curse." Nick tells Ziggy that it's just some psycho "No, no, it's not some psycho. It's Tommy. My sister's perfect, virgin, boring boyfriend Tommy. She did this." She denies. 

"Cindy?"

"The witch!"

"That's not real Ziggy!"

"Exactly what a Sunnyvaler would say. I thought you were different." She scoffs, Aurora snaps looking between them.

"Who cares? Honestly, I don't give a fuck if it's a witch or a psychotic break. Tommy is going to kill us if we don't get out of here." She says heatedly. All of them hear the bells ringing as Nick explains that the buses are now leaving. Nick tries to convince them to leave but they disagree as their sisters were still out there with Tommy. Nick turns to Aurora holding her face in his hands,

"Rory, I've let a lot of people die tonight" She immediately argues that it was his fault, "Not you. I'm not letting you die. Because, uh... yeah! I do like the new girl in Sunnyvale, and I was thinking that maybe, once we get out of this, we could, uh... we could start a book club or something." He looks deeply into her eyes, Ziggy peering over the bench keeping watch for Tommy and trying to give the young lovers a little privacy during their intimate moment.

"Maybe... I don't know, Stephen King's new one is supposed to be good, I hear."

"Nick, I will follow you to the ends of the earth if we get out of this. But I am not leaving you here or my sister." She declares. 

"Sounds perfect!" He smiles at her as she nuzzles into his hand.

"You believe me, right? About the curse?" Ziggy asked.

"Yeah, of course. I am different." He said to the girl who was quickly becoming a good friend to him. "Now, come on. We've got to get out of here. As soon as we do, we'll call the cops. Your sisters' are going to be alright. First, we've got to get on that bus!" But they never get the chance to stand up as the door handle starts moving rapidly and there's banging on the door.

The window broke as Tommy punched his hand through it to open the lock. The three of them avoided Tommy sight as he opened the door. Tommy walks forwards breathing heavily as he makes his way to their hiding place. However, by the time he gets there they had already moved somewhere new. In anger, Tommy swings his axe at the tank containing the snake.

Nick pulls Aurora closer beside him in hopes that it would somehow protect her. Aurora intertwines her left hand with Ziggy's right and squeezes slightly to offer some kind of support to let her know that she's not alone. 

Ziggy notices the snake coming closer and squeezes Rory's hand tighter to which they both shuffle closer to Nick. The snake slowly slithers over Ziggy and Aurora's legs who both try not to make any noises. They glance at each other before a hand reaches over and grabs Ziggys hair, pulling her up and over the table. She screams in panic.

Tommy goes to swing his axe at her but Nick jumps in the way and gets cut in the back of the leg. Grunting in pain Nick tells them to run but Aurora hesitates and Ziggy pulls her away.

"Arghh! Run!"
