"Are you kidding me?"
"You couldnt come up with anything better?"
"Lame"
Kia held her hands up in defense. "Don't be mad at me. Chris got dibs on the first challenge." She explained, crossing her arms over her chest.
They were no longer in the mess hall. After sending the campers to change into their swim wear, Kia and Chris meet them on top of the large one thousand foot tall cliff, that looked out across the lake.
Chris crossed his hands over his chest. "Hey! People loved the cliff jump last time! I'm just giving the people what they want."
Kia rolled her eyes. "You did make it a little more interesting, didn't you?" She asked, earning a smug grin from Chris. Kia raised a brow. 'Whats he got planned?' She wondered, as Chris grabbed all of the complaining campers attention.
"Ok campers! Listen up!" Chris ordered. "Like your first challenge two years ago, you will be jumping off this one thousand foot cliff, into the lake."
Noah scoffed. "Thanks for pointing out the obvious, loser." Duncan and Noah pounded fist, as everyone snorted back a laughter. Chris growled.
"As I was saying. You will be jumping off the cliff. But this time, you gotta land in one of the four targets we've placed at the bottom." Looking over the cliff, the campers spotted four different colored rings. Each ring had a number floating beside it. The closet one was labeled twenty-five. The further one was labeled one hundred.
"Each ring represents a point. You earn your team points by landing inside the rings. The team with the most point at the end. Wins. The loser. Your sending someone home!"
Everyone was quiet, as Chris clapped his hands together. A wild grin on his face. "Sooo...Who's first?" Kia asked.
The teams were silent. Kia sighed. "One of the teams ghas to start first. So come on guys." Silence was all she was meet with.
"I'll go." Everyone's head snapped over to DJ, who wore a pair of camouflage swimming trunks, and his army cap. "But DJ! Your like, afraid of heights!" Katie pointed out. Dj shook his head.
"I concurred my fear two years ago." DJ said, walking towards the edge of the cliff. "Besides. The cliff we have to jump off of during training, make this cliff look like a kiddie pool diving board." And with that said, Dj took a step back, before launching himself over the cliff.
Everyone scampered over to the side, and watched as DJ made a splash landing in the fifty point ring.
"Fifty points for the Howling Wolves!" Kia exclaimed. Everyone whooped a laughed, as the retrieval boat picked up DJ, who waved them down.
Bridgette laughed. "Man! I cant believe DJ actually jumped! If he can do it, I can to!" And without a second thought, Bridgette took a running jump off the cliff, head first, as she landed a swan dive in the twenty-five points ring.
"Seventy-five points!" Chris exclaimed, earning more cheers from the Wolves. Trent was next. He did a running cannonball into the fifty point ring. "And Trent earns the Howling wolves a hefty one twenty five!"
Katie and Sadie held each others hands, as they jumped, squeeing as they landed in the twenty-five point rings. Geoff took a running leap off the cliff, holding his cowboy hat in place, as he landed on his back in the fifty point ring.
Kia hissed, as she saw how red Geoff's back was from the jump. "He's OK!" Bridgette called up, as she helped Geoff out of the water, before pulling him close to her. Kia smiled.
Harold, having buffed up nicly, ran as fast as he could off the cliff, keeping his legs close to prevent a repeat of his last jump. Everyone gasped as he landed in the seventy-five points ring!
"Harold wins a startling seventy-five points for the wolves! Earning them a hefty three hundred points!" Chris exclaimed, as the wolves at the bottom, patted, hugged, and slapped Harold on the back. Congratulating him.
"Thats my man! You show 'em baby!" Leshawna exclaimed, before jumping from the cliff. Everyone cheered as she landed in the fifty point ring.
Gwen was next. With a determined glare, she jumped from the cliff, and landed in the fifty points ring. Trent jumped from the boat, and swam over to her. "That was awesome, Gwen!" Trent exclaimed. Gwen blushed, as the two swam over to the boat. Bridgette high fived the goth, as she stepped fully onto the boat.
Everyone turne and looked up at he cliff, after congradulating each other. Courtney and Duncan were the only ones left.
Kia flinched as Duncan cracked his knuckles against each other. "Duncan. Your up." Chris exclaimed, his usual grin in place. Kia turned to Courtney, who had her arms crossed over her black swim top.
Kia watched the mohawked teen glance back at the former CIT as he took a stand at the edge of the cliff. Kia waited for him to say a smart ass comment. Instead, the teen simply growled, before jumping. Watching him as he free fall, Kia saw no emotion on his face, as he landed in the seventy-five point ring.
"Alright Duncan!" Geoff exclaimed, as he helped his best bud out of the water, as the boat neared him. "Way to easy." Duncan said, crossing his arms across his cest, as he leaned against the boat railing.
"Now its up to Courtney to bring us home." DJ sid, causing everyone to stiffen. They all glanced nervously over at Duncan. Afraid of what he would do at the mention of the former CIT's name. Duncan simply yawned, before closing his eyes.
Bridgette shivered. Duncan not saying or doing something was worse than Duncan saying or doing something.
"Come on Courtney! You can totally do this!" Sadie yelled, as everyone spotted Courtney's form standing at the edge of the cliff.
Courtney sighed. "I really don't think I can do this." Kia patted her on the back, as Chris shook his head. "You could cost your team the victory. Again." Kia rolled her eyes. Was making people feel like crap his favorite thing to do?
Courtney nodded. "I know. And that's why, no matter how much I don't want to. I'm gonna jump." Kia smiled as she watched the younger girl gather up all the courage she had. Closing her eyes, after taking a good ten steps back, Courtney took a flying leap off the edge, her eyes closed tight.
"Alright Courtney!" Geoff and Bridgette screamed, as Courtney fell. Everyone's eyes widened as Courtney made a splash landing in the one hundred points ring! Everyone cheered as the boat neared her the ring.
"Courtney! You did it! You-" Geoff stopped mid sentence, as he relized Courtney hadnt come back up. "Courtney? Girl?" Leshawna said, sticking her head over the edge.
"Oh my god! Courtney!" Bridgette screamed, jumping off the boat, before diving deep into the water. "Oh man! Not good!" Geoff exclaimed, following Bridgette.
"Kia! Courtney! She ain't commin back up!" Leshawna yelled up to Kia. Chris's face palled as the other campers whispered concerned confusion to each other. "Oh god!" Kia began to strip her clothes, leaving herself in her two piece swim wear underneath.
"What are you doing! You cant jump!" Chris yelled, as Kia took a running leap off the cliff. As soon as she landed in the water, she swam as fast as she could towards Geoff and Bridgette as they emerged from below, gasping for air.
"We cant find her!" Bridgette cried, as Geoff shook his head. "What do you mean you cant find her?" Kia exclaimed, as she came to float beside them. "She ain't down there brah!" Geoff exclaimed.
"We gotta try again! She couldnt have-" Kia was cut off, as something blasted out of the water beside her. Wiping around, Kia cried out in shock, as Duncan held an unconciuse Courtney in his arms. She figured as soon as Courtney hadnt come up, he had jumped in while everyone was freaking out.
"Get her on the boat!" Kia exclaimed, as she helped Duncan pull her towards the boat, where everyone lent a hand in helping them up.
"Oh Courtney!"
And find out if Courtney lives in the next chapter!
...I'm so gonna be strangled for this! X3
