Ok, here we are guys, the Ezekiel chapter! We are travelling back in time a little bit to the fist episode, it also mentions the incidents of chapters one and two of 'Predator and Prey' so if you're a little unsure of what's going on or you're new to this story, then go refresh your memory before reading this!
Now, ever since 'Predator and Prey' was still a one-shot I wanted someone to hear the horrible things that were going on in the luggage compartment, and the perfect person that would hear that would be Ezekiel, he was already down there and would blatantly hear everything, but the question is what did he do next? This is Ezekiel's journey from the first episode to episode 14 when they go to London, Enjoy!
By the way, I wrote this chapter in like a day! I was just chilling thinking about how to start this chapter when what should come on TV? A classic episode of Total Drama Island! After watching that I just felt inspired and typed until it was finished!
Chapter 4: Dramatic Prairie Boy
That day, that dreaded day that he was still kicking himself about. Ezekiel's mind kept haunting back to that horrible day when he was hiding in a large bag. They say what is seen cannot be unseen, it's the same for things you hear, once you hear something that will possibly scar you for life, you can never forget it.
This all started on the very first episode, Ezekiel wasn't the smartest bulb in the pack when it came to being street wise, this had been his problem ever since season one where he was the first one to go for saying that boys were smarter than girls.
That was then he realized he upset her, Bridgette, she was very insulted by this, he could tell, he just wanted to say sorry to her, but he never got his chance. Every time he went near her in the hot tub with Geoff she would smack him round the head.
Of course he didn't realize then that she and Geoff were practically an item and she was just trying to keep him away from them.
He was absent from Total Drama Action, it was good because it gave him time to attempt to learn how to be cool, he got jewellery, and followed people around to learn from them how to be cool, it went well, until the people that he would follow would realize and chase him away.
He thought that he was going to win 'Total Drama World Tour' he had hoped that his lessons would get him somewhere, the second he stepped off that bus everything seemed to spell out winner for him.
"Yo, yo, yo! This years winner is in the house!...uh…Bus!...I mean…runway?"
That might not have been his smoothest entrance but he still hoped to win, that was until he kept on interrupting Chris on his tour of the plane, and maybe it was a bad idea to mention that he had a peanut allergy, Chris had enough of him and promptly through him out of the plane.
He had been voted out before the show had even started.
However, he was a good climber, and managed to climb up the wheels and into the luggage compartment, with the only the rats in there to keep him company.
Ezekiel knew it was going to be a long flight to Egypt and he was sure that nothing moderately exciting would happen, that was until now…
He had cleared out one of Lindsay's many bags and fell asleep in that, he had been sleeping for a good few hours when he heard it, a loud scared scream, closely followed by someone's voice, a low, mumbling voice.
Ezekiel opened a bleary eye, then came another scream, followed by a voice, a horribly familiar voice…
"Stop, please, just let me go, Alejandro, just let me go…"
His eyes snapped open, that scream and that voice sounded a lot like Bridgette, deciding he better check in case she was really in trouble he unzip the bag, carefully he peeped his head out and scanned the room.
"That sounded like Bridgette eh…" He mumbled to himself, it was pitch black and he could see no movement or hear anything, he decided it might have been a trip due to being on a plane for seven hours, so he closed the bag again and tried to sleep.
But he couldn't he just couldn't find it in himself to close his eyes again, he was worried about her, what if she was on trouble and he was just too scared to look.
He wanted to be brave, so again he unzipped the bag and this time he climbed out.
Carefully he crept along the floor, feeling his way through the darkness, soon he came to a light that lit up his way and he saw it, Bridgette slumped against a wall shaking and breathing very heavily.
'She had screamed' Ezekiel thought, 'Something must be wrong', taking a chance he reached out for her.
"Bridgette?"
She jumped and spun round, she blinked a few times before realizing it was Ezekiel.
"What are you doing here?" She said very sternly, 'No need to be like that!' he thought.
"Oh…I stowed away in a bag so that I could still be the show, I want to win eh!" He explained.
"Oh" Bridgette muttered, Ezekiel looked down at the floor, she was being very blunt with him, and that's when he saw his second clue, by Bridgette's feet, there was a pile of sick, he gawped slightly.
"Was that-?"
"Yes" Bridgette quickly said, "I'm a bad traveller and I got a bit nauseous, that's all".
"Right "Ezekiel said, "But I thought I heard you screaming, something about Alejandro…"
"I was sleep walking" Bridgette explained, "I've always done it, and I dreamt that Alejandro was killing me".
Ezekiel nodded, "Right well, I better clean this up, go back upstairs Bridge, they might catch me if I go out there".
Bridgette nodded, "Thanks Zeke" She said before leaving, Ezekiel waited until he heard the compartment door close before letting out a horrified gasp, Alejandro had been down here too! That was the other voice he heard.
But what had he done to her? As he bent down and found several cloths on the floor to mop up the sick several things ran through his mind, before he left again, this time to be voted off he wanted to find out what he had done to her.
That is, if he survived long enough, he had just realized the cloth he had used to clear up the sick was one of Lindsay's dresses, if he didn't get voted off then he was surely going to be killed by her.
When the plane landed in Egypt, Ezekiel jumped off and pleaded his case for him to stay, Chris let him and he was placed on the same team as Bridgette, thrilled to be on the same team as her he started to probe her for information on what had happened.
"So Bridgette…are you feeling better eh?" He asked casually as they were getting ready for their second challenge.
"Yeah, we're off that plane aren't we?" Bridgette said, looking over at Team Chris is Really, Really, Really Hot, Ezekiel noticed that she was staring at someone in particular, Alejandro.
She put her crossed her arm across and onto her other arm and sighed, Ezekiel raised his eyebrow, Alejandro was brought up again.
Unfortunately this was all the information he managed to get, as he was then thrown off the plane for losing the second challenge, they had to take an item across the river and Ezekiel fed it to a crocodile.
He was thrown out along with Duncan, he had tried to hang on to the wing of the plane but the force was too strong and he fell, however when they both crashed to the floor after being pushed out the plane, Duncan cried out 'See ya Loser' before running into a nearby forest.
Ezekiel thought that he might as well give up and left for the hotel where the people that didn't compete were, there he was reunited with Trent, Katie, Sadie, Beth, Eva, Justin and most importantly…Geoff.
Ezekiel wanted to tell him what he had found, but he had been accused so many times of liking Bridgette he didn't want to, just in case he thought he was lying and to make things horribly worse.
He had to sit, and wait for the right moment, for something to come out so that Geoff could see everything for himself.
That moment came quicker than Ezekiel had though, while watching the first screening on the fourth episode, it happened. Bridgette and Alejandro kissed and Geoff saw it, needless to say he went crazy and left the room as fast as he could.
Ezekiel chose to wait while Trent and Justin tried to calm him down, just in case he flipped out on him. Waiting in their own personal room they received from the hotel, Beth, Katie, Sadie, Harold, Eva and Ezekiel talked about the recent events.
"Geoff's going to kill her, let's face it" Eva said lifting a small weight she dragged out of the gym.
"Ok…so that's the worst possible situation" Beth mumbled, "But Geoff's always so happy, he wouldn't go crazy on her…would he?"
"Trent said he kicked a table and called her a bitch" Sadie said, "That's like…terrible!"
"Oh my Gosh, I know" Katie joined in.
Ezekiel stayed silent, It wasn't until Trent and Justin came back he had decided to see him; he walked in and sat down.
"He's furious" Trent said, "He says that he and Bridgette are through".
"But why?" Ezekiel piped up finally, "He watched it didn't he? He saw Bridgette get tricked eh?"
"He doesn't care" Trent said, "Believe me, I tried everything".
Ezekiel stood up, "Gimmie your room key" He said to Trent, "Let me try eh".
Trent hesitated but reluctantly handed the key over, "Be careful home school". He said.
Ezekiel nodded and walked out of the room, as he turned back, he saw the worried faces of everyone in the room, this was it, he was going to tell him what he knew.
He walked up to his room and took a deep breath in, in his hand was they key Trent gave him, slowly and carefully he placed it in the lock and the door opened.
The sight he saw was Geoff with his head in his hands, sensing he wasn't alone he looked up and saw Ezekiel, he gulped and stammered nervously.
"Uh…I just wanted to tell you that we're going for dinner eh" Ezekiel stammered.
"Right" Geoff said.
"Are you coming with us?"
Geoff stayed silent, "I don't really feel like eating".
Ezekiel shrugged his shoulders, "Suit yourself eh" he said before leaving.
'I tried' Ezekiel thought as he went to close the door.
Ezekiel was about to leave when Geoff quickly jumped up, "Zeke…hang on a sec".
Ezekiel turned around and looked at Geoff, "Did…did you happen to see…anything between Bridgette and Alejandro while you were on the show?"
Ezekiel closed the door slowly, he took a deep breath knowing full well that this would come back and bite him, but did he care? Something had happened and Geoff was obviously not going to sit back and watch, he still cared about her, even if he did consider them over.
"Well…during the first episode I was stuck in a bag for most of it and during the flight I could hear Bridgette screaming and crying out Alejandro's name, when I got out of the bag I saw her looking pretty shaken up eh, I asked he what was up and she said that she had sleepwalked and had a nightmare about Alejandro, and then I noticed she had been sick on the floor and she said she was a bad traveller" Ezekiel said, "I'm not sure what you make of it but I have a feeling that there's more behind this".
Geoff slowly sunk back down on the bed, "She doesn't sleepwalk or talk…" He murmured, "and she doesn't get sick while travelling".
Ezekiel remained silent; it was obvious that something more had happened that night, he just wished he knew more about it to help Geoff.
"Well, that's all I really know, sorry eh" Ezekiel said before leaving.
"No…thanks Zeke, you've helped".
Ezekiel like a sad smile spread on his face, "I hope everything turns out for the best".
"It will…"
Ezekiel didn't know what 'It will' meant but still he closed the door and went to eat dinner with the others.
But he didn't want to, from the looks of it Geoff wasn't going to do anything about it, he was just going to sit there, and if he wasn't going to do anything…then it was up to him.
Instead of going back to the room that everyone was in, Ezekiel found himself walking out of the hotel and onto the main street, where he hailed a cab and climbed in.
"The closest airport you know eh" Ezekiel said to the cab driver, who obediently drove.
It took a while to get to the nearest airport but once there Ezekiel jumped out and ran to the closest desk he could find.
"How can I help you?" The attendant asked.
"I need the cheapest to Yukon you've got" Ezekiel explained.
"Certainly".
The plane didn't take long to arrive at Yukon, and once there Ezekiel fled the airport and ran, he had been here before on a hiking experience with his dad, and where they had gone was around about the same place where they went.
He ran as fast as he could until he saw it, the Total Drama Plane.
Ezekiel counted himself to be the luckiest guy in the world.
He bolted down the hill and towards the plane, he could see people gathered around it, so to get back on the plane he had to be careful about getting caught.
Once at the plane, he hid under the wing, he could here Chris speaking loudly.
"So, Team Chris is Really, Really, Really hot won, meaning Victory is a little less victorious and one of you is going home, right everyone back on the plane. Bridgette? How are you holding up?"
"How do you 'hink I'm boing?" Bridgette said, it sound like she had something in her mouth, "Theriousthly pour waber down my thace!"
Ezekiel could hear the doors opening, it was his chance, carefully he hitched himself up onto the plane's wheel and climbed up, back into the cargo hold.
He was in.
The plane started up and he knew he was safe, now it was time to get back on that competition and help Bridgette.
But it was too late; before Ezekiel had a chance to leave he heard more screaming from outside of the plane.
"ALEWANDWO! HE EWIL! EWWWWILLLLL!"
Bridgette had been voted out, she was on her way to face Geoff herself, Ezekiel sighed and sat under a small dent in the cargo hold, and there he could hear another voice, he was under the bathroom cam.
"Bridgette was expendable, they all are. Some will prove to be more…challenging then others but one by one…they'll all go down!"
It was Alejandro! Ezekiel felt furious, he was going to pay for hurting Bridgette, if Geoff didn't do anything then he would.
The days slowly dragged on, and Ezekiel found himself having to be more and more careful as people kept coming down into the hold and seeing his shadows, everyday it was guaranteed to hear something like 'Hey was that? No…' or 'That looks like…' but thankfully, no one knew he was there.
Ezekiel found himself struggling, he felt sick from being thrown around the cargo hold due to Chef's inability to fly a plane, and the lack of food and water had made his skin turn a horrible pale grey colour, as if he was dead. Ezekiel had to keep making sure he was alive by checking his pulse and heartbeat every few minutes.
However he was getting by, he was waiting for the perfect opportunity to jump out at Alejandro to tell him how he really felt, if he could do this, then he was surely a shoe in to win.
That is until the unfortunate crash land in Jamaica.
As the plane crashed down, everyone was in shock about the injuries that were caused from outside the plane but what about inside?
As the plane crashed onto the sand, Ezekiel was thrown about like a rag doll, unable to control what happened next, he was flung into a pile of wooden boxes that smacked him right on the head, knocking him unconscious.
He was out for a good few days while the plane was stuck, and then, that day when his finally came round, everything had changed, Ezekiel woke up and found himself twitching, he felt bizarre and like he was actually dead this time.
Slowly he found his feet, or what he thought was his feet. He was actually crawling around on his hands and knees; he had turned into some sort of half animal half human from the head injury.
He attempted to speak, but all that came out of his mouth was a low hiss, his eyes were blood shot and darting around the room like he was on some sort of paranoia drug. But all of a sudden, this desperate want for food and water disappeared.
He was an animal, therefore going to live like one.
He had gone insane, and started to eat the live rats that lived in the cargo hold with him, and when it was time for the plane to take off again, came his chance to be on the show.
Chris and Chef had decided to check up on the cargo hold to make sure if there was extra fuel hiding back here, however what they did find was Ezekiel, who had backed into a corner and was growling loudly at them.
"Dude…what is that?" Chris asked.
"Home school" Chef bluntly replied.
"Ezekiel? No way! Look at him, he's a monster!" Chris cried out.
"It looks like him" Chef said.
"Yeah it does, wow, if he would have turned into this on the show he never should have been booted out, but still we can't keep him here, he'll eat someone!" Chris said.
"We can throw him out in London?" Chef suggested.
"Yes…but we could do it in style" Chris said, he bent down to Ezekiel's level, "Isn't that right? Jack the Ripper?"
Ezekiel had been dragged by Chef to first class, booting out Team Amazon who had earned their rightful place there and dressed him up in a black cloak and put a top hat over his oddly covered face, Chris then handed him a knife which Ezekiel held upright in an awkward angle.
"He's dressed up as Jack the Ripper" Chris explained, "He'll be the one capturing the contestants in London".
"You sure this is a good idea?" Chef asked.
"Of course, he'll do anything we say if it involves…oh I don't know, getting back on the show?"
Ezekiel's ears pricked up when he heard this, and he started hyperventilating in excitement.
"Even so, he's dead!" Chef said.
"He's half animal" Chris corrected, "He'll take them out like a lion preying on a pack of chubby asthmatic gazelles".
"But what is he 'takes them out' takes the out" Chef asked, implying that he could kill.
"Legal says we're clear" Chris said, "And imagine the ratings! That dip will score major hits online!"
Their talk was then interrupted by the door creaking open, and then followed by a gasp.
"Did you hear something?" Chris asked.
Ezekiel did, for sure. He spun round and walked towards the second exit; the walked out slowly but steadily and found the thing he had been looking for all this time.
Alejandro.
He was hiding against a wall taking steady breaths, until he sensed he wasn't alone, slowly he turned around and saw Ezekiel, or as he knew, Jack the Ripper.
"AAAH!"
Ezekiel threw his arms around Alejandro's neck and pulled him down to the floor, holding the knife up to him, and with him struggling and screaming, Ezekiel dragged him down to the cargo hold to be dealt with.
"God! Did you see that?" Chris gasped as he watched Alejandro disappear, "It was like he was out to get him!"
Alejandro been thrown into a corner and Ezekiel towered over him with the knife.
"What do you want from me? Is this a challenge?" Alejandro wailed loudly.
Ezekiel begun hissing again, "What did you do to Bridgette?" He tried to say, but all that came out was a growl.
"What the hell are you?" Alejandro asked.
"Tell me what you did?" He tried to speak but growls covered his speech.
Alejandro got up to leave but Ezekiel held the knife towards his chest, Alejandro smirked, "It's a fake knife" He said before he reached out and touched the tip, it stung, and a small trail of blood trickled down the steel.
"Crap" Alejandro gasped, and attempted to run away, Ezekiel went into beast mode and pounced on his back, taking him down. Once he had Alejandro down, he went to go and stab him to get some sort of information out of him.
"We'll stop it there buddy!" Chris said as Chef pulled him off Alejandro.
"I told you he'd go crazy" Chef said.
"Well he won't do it again, no show for him if he kills" Chris said loudly.
Ezekiel dropped the knife on the floor, Chris bent over and handed it to him again, "You use it to threaten, not kill ok? Chef go take him to the Tower of London, and I'll deal with Alejandro".
Chef left with Ezekiel in tow, while Chris led Alejandro to the jail where you would stay if people got caught.
Soon after, Ezekiel had caught Sierra and Cody, followed by Tyler who was still lying on the torture table, and Heather was also caught. He went for Noah, but was unfortunately caught by Owen.
He spent the next few hours trapped in a small sack, and then was farted on by Owen; still he was dragged back to the plane and handed over to Chris.
Alejandro was breathing heavily, thinking about the whole experience he had just been through, Jack the Ripper had something against him, but who was Jack the Ripper?
It wasn't until Owen revealed who he had caught, Alejandro realized who it was.
"Ezekiel?"
"That's right" Chef said, "Found him living in the cargo hold, home schooling with the rats".
Ezekiel attempted to say, "Let me at Alejandro!" But failed with a growl.
"I was going to let him back in the game if he could avoid getting captured and since he could not…" Chris trailed off and clicked his fingers.
And before Ezekiel knew it, he had been hoisted up and thrown off the plan once again, and once again not knowing what had happened to Bridgette.
However, being part beast helped him, easily he climbed back onto the wheel that was hanging off the plane and waited until the elimination took place, he watched Noah fall out and then took that as his chance to go back in.
He was going to find out what had happened to her, even if it killed him.
End! I actually think this is one of the best chapters I've written in a while! Let me know what you think and next up will be the Noah chapter!
