Santana left her cabin the next morning, yawning, and sitting down on one of the logs.

She had cried herself to sleep the night before; hugging Brittany's teddy bear.

Everyone was still in bed and the only sounds came from the birds singing in the forest.

Santana resented their happiness.

She stared into the ashes of the fire, feeling numb and incomplete.

Life without Brittany was no life; it was void of happiness.

Brittany made Santana a better person and without her life was hard; painfully hard.

The only other friend Santana had was Matt, but she doubted that he would still like her after the way she had talked to him.

Santana saw something out of the corner of her eye that made her stand up.

Next to the burnt out campfire was a piece of paper.

Santana picked it up, her pulse racing.

Not another death, please don't be another death.

It was another one of the nursery rhymes:

Jack and Jill went up the hill,
To fetch a pail of water
Jack fell down and broke his crown,
And Jill came tumbling after.

Santana panicked; it was the uncertainty of who had been killed that scared her.

Even worse – this time it was a double murder.

Instinctively, Santana ran to Matt and Mike's cabin, banging on the door.

"Matt!" She shouted. There was no reply.

"Matt! Mike! Please answer!"

"What's happened?" Someone asked.

Santana swung around to see Finn and Puck coming towards her from their cabin, looking concerned.

"Someone has been killed. Two people and – I don't know who" A sense of relief came to Santana when the door to Matt and Mike's room opened.

"What's going on?" Matt asked.

Mike got up out of his bed and she explained the story to them.

"I'll check on the girls" Puck said.

Rachel and Quinn were both fine.

"Oh" Matt said, remembering and pointing to the "you're next" message on Mercedes, Kurt and Tina's cabin.

Everyone glanced to that cabin, anxious and apprehensive.

Just then the door to it swung open, revealing two dishevelled teenagers.

"Has anyone seen Tina?" Mercedes asked.

"Oh no" Mike gulped.

"I can't find Mr Schue either" Emma added, running out of her cabin looking panic-stricken.
