Valkyrie Stables. Sweden.
Approximately 1500km from CPS.

Ailyn and Alexis arrived early at the stables. The traffic was always unpredictable and Stranger sould have some time to relax after the long drive.
At the start of their journey Ailyn was a bit scared of the long ride, usually it was Tareks job to drive the horse trucks and she was perfectly fine with it... just this weekend he headed to a show Jumping event in the Netherlands with Pilot and she lost all at once: her driver and her prefered vehicle, the SUV with the horse trailer.
But Ailyn won't complain - like Tarek already said when they discussed this issue, with the small kitchen and the sleeping places the horse truck was more comfortable for a three day event anyways, but it needed Alexis' unbeatable arguments before she was finally convinced.

And now they where here - Valkyrie Stables, Sweden... 1500km away from home.


"It's really beautiful here... the ambiance is awesome!", Alexis said as we eyed up the dressage arena next to the lake. "Imagine it at sundown, when all that candles and lanterns are lit!"
I had to agree with her, but I was still a bit skeptic - unlike Alexis, I had to think a bit more pragmatic today.
"I have no idea how Stranger will react to them... Usually he is rather calm, but I don't think we were in a comparable situation before. To be honest: I worry about the sky lanterns, maybe they scare him when they fly right above us."

There were round 20 other entrants in the dressage class, I got the start number #1383, which placed more at the end of the start list. We had enough time to mix with the other spectators for a few minutes, so I saw the first five entrants, before we left to get Stranger ready for the competition.

"So... what du you think?", I asked as I mounted my faithful stallion. Alexis was sorting the reins for me to ensure they won't twist.

"There are some world-class riders out there - but you are, too!"

She just finished when a hurricane of applause reached us from the arena.

"I bet that was this Elias guy with Protocol Ten", Alexis moaned when she took a step back and saw my plaintive look.

I tried to focus on Stranger and the warm up, but it was nerve-racking to make round after round, waiting for my call to the arena, without knowing what happened in the arena right now. More than one awesome rider entered the show ring tonight - that was everything I knew as I finally heard my name.

Filled with the unfortunate feeling that this would be a real challenge, I entered the arena. We trot one round, waiting for the music to begin.
At the beginning everything around me was blurred, but then I saw the lanterns at the sky above the water and the candles in the sand. Alexis had been right... it was awesome. Suddenly I felt deeply solemn and was very glad about my choice of music, which fit the atmosphere perfectly. No matter what happened next, it was a pleasure to be a part of it!

You are now cursed. You must send this on or you will be killed. Tonight at 12:00am, by Bloody Mary. This is no joke. So don't think you can quickly get out of it and delete it now because Bloody Mary will come to you if you do not send this on. She will slit your throat and your wrists and pull your eyeballs out with a fork. And then hang your dead corpse in your bedroom cupboard or put you under your bed. What's your parents going to do when they find you dead? Won't be funny then, will it? Don't think this is a fake and it's all put on to scare you because your wrong, so very wrong. Want to hear of some of the sad, sad people who lost their lives or have been seriously hurt by this email?

CASE ONE -
Annalise [Surname Removed] :She got this email. Rubbish she thought. She deleted it. And now, Annalise dead.

CASE TWO -
Louise [Surname Removed]: She sent this to only 4 people and when she woke up in the morning her wrists had deep lacerations on each. Luckily there was no pain felt, though she is scarred for life.

CASE THREE -
Thomas [Surname Removed]: He sent this to 5 people. Big mistake. The night Thomas was lying in his bed watching T.V. The clock shows '12:01am'. The T.V misteriously flickered off and Thomas's bedroom lamp flashed on and off several times. It went pitch black, Thomas looked to the left of him and there she was, Bloody Mary standing in white rags. Blood everywhere with a knife in her hand then disappeared. The biggest fright of Thomas's life.

Warning... NEVER look in a mirror and repeat -'Bloody Mary.Bloody Mary.' Bloody Mary... I KILLED YOUR SON' Is it the end for you tonight! YOU ARE NOW CURSED
