Here is the first challenge of Horror Week! I've been told several times that horror writing is my talent, so I want to get as much practice as I can! I still didn't get a couple of fears from the campers, so I'll start with a different challenge from Horror Week!
The campers were awake early today. It was a challenge day, but Chris had yet to make an announcement. The entire camp was in near silence. Not even Chef was in the Mess Hall. The campers had, however, found plates filled with gruel already placed out on the tables.
"Does anyone else find this weird?" Derrick asked. Suddenly, they heard a knock on the door. Slowly, the knob turned and the door moved forward. The campers looked at the horror cliché with limited interest.
"BOO!" Chris jumped out from behind the door wearing a ghost costume. Nobody moved an inch. "Your enthusiasm is astounding," Chris said dully. "Anyway! Today's challenge will be the first of a series of others that I have dubbed, HORROR WEEK!"
Confession Cam
Jessie sighed. "Well this should be fun."
"Think of that name on your own, Chris?" Jamie asked. Chris ignored the comment and continued.
"Today's challenge will be simple: Survive. The team with the most survivors win. Good luck!" Chris bolted of the room.
"This is just like the one from last season..." Jessie shook her head.
"So this should be easy, right?" Nikki asked. "No making out in the woods and no showers!" The teams split up and went back to their cabins.
Savage Llamas Cabin
The Llamas were fairly confident in winning this challenge. When they approached their cabin, however, they encountered Chris's first obstacle.
"Great!" TJ exclaimed. "The door's locked!"
"So what do we do?" Hailey asked. "Cuz I am not staying outside!" Brent rolled his eyes.
"Then you can stay here while we go somewhere safe!" Brent began to walk off back to the Mess Hall. Cassie, Leighton, TJ, Derrick and Nikki followed.
"Fine! Leave me all alone!" Hailey shouted after them. "They never kill the pretty ones first!"
"Isn't Hailey gonna be killed?" Leighton asked.
"Yeah," Brent answered with a smirk. "But look at it this way: If Hailey's killed and we lose, we can vote her off."
"This goes against all my morals of winning," Nikki said, "but it is an awesome plan!" The Llamas cheered and waited out the challenge inside the Mess Hall.
Fighting Mongoose Cabin
The Mongoose's cabin, on the other hand was open. The team walked inside and hardly did anything.
"So this should be an easy win, right?" Terran asked the group.
"Yeah," Jessie agreed, "It should."
"I think we should make it a little more interesting..." Raine said.
"How so?" Jamie inquired.
"Well," Raine started, "Maybe we could separate the Llamas? You know, make them easier to pick off?"
"But won't we just get 'picked off?'" Heather asked worriedly.
"Not if we're careful about it, we won't!"
"I'm in!" Terran shouted.
"Me too!" Marietta, Jessie and Jamie chorused. Allister raised his hand, signaling he was going to do it, too.
"What about you?" Raine asked Lena.
"I just get scared really easily..." she answered sheepishly.
"Perfect!" Terran yelled. "You'd be the perfect Final Girl!"
"Totally!" Marietta agreed. "You'll be the last one to get the knife!" Lena wondered whether she should take this as a compliment. All that was left was Heather.
"What about you guys?" Jamie asked Heather.
"I just don't feel right about going against Brent..." she responded.
"I thought you two broke up?" Marietta said. Again, never tell Marietta a secret, Heather mentally noted. Terran and Jessie felt very tense again. Heather noticed.
"Well, not officially. It was a stupid thing, anyway..."
"Oh! You mean how he found your bracelet and said High School Musical was stupid?" Heather began to turn red. Marietta had no idea why. Suddenly, thy heard a blood-curdling scream.
"That sounded like Hailey!" Lena exclaimed. Nobody moved. "Shouldn't we help her?" Lena then started laughing. Slowly, the laughter spread to all of the Mongooses.
"That was a good one!" Terran said. "So that's one down. Six more to go!"
Hailey
Hailey stood obstinately on the cabin door. She was waiting for the killer to come by and get her already. She had already figured out that she can get Leighton and TJ to vote with her, and maybe even Cassie. So Hailey waited. And waited. And waited.
"Ugh! This is hopeless!" Hailey stormed off from her position and walked over to the other Llamas in the Mess Hall. "This is ridiculous! Chris isn't even making this hard!" she muttered under her breath. As she was walking through the campsite, she couldn't shake the feeling she was being followed. Every time she turned around, however, there was nothing.
"Very funny, Chris!" she shouted to no one. Slowly, she felt it get darker and darker. Puzzled, she looked up and saw she had wondered into the woods. "What—but—THIS IS SO LAME!" Hailey sat down on a nearby rock. From behind her, a shadow grew until it covered her entirely. Hailey sighed. "Just hurry up and get over with, Chris!" Hailey turned around. What she saw wasn't Chris, or even Chef. "Oh—my—AAAAH!"
Mess Hall
"I think Hailey just bit the dust!" Brent said excitedly as he heard the scream. TJ had been needing to go to the bathroom for some time now, but didn't want separate from the group. Leighton saw him squirming in his seat.
"Do you need to go?" she asked him. He nodded his head. Leighton sighed. "And you don't want to go alone?" He shook his head. "We'll be right back." Leighton picked TJ up by the hand seductively, bringing an instant smile to his face. They snuck over to the washroom and immediately began planting wet sloppy kisses over each other. The pressure in TJ's groin, however, were growing.
"Sorry! I really gotta go!" TJ bolted inside the washroom and relieved himself. Leighton waited patiently outside for him. She heard footsteps grow louder and louder.
"Um, TJ? Could you maybe hurry up?" Leighton began to get worried. Her heart started beating faster. Out from the curtain trees, a figure jumped out and tackled Leighton to the ground.
"AAAAH!" she screamed. TJ came rushing out, only to meet the same fate of his girlfriend.
"HOLY—!" The figure picked both of them and carried them back to the woods.
Fighting Mongooses Cabin
Just as the Mongoose were about to set their plan into action, they heard another two screams.
"Okay, now there's only four left." Terran counted off his fingers.
"Do you still think we should do this?" Heather asked. "They seem to be getting themselves killed pretty easily without our help."
"Whatever," Raine said. "I'm still going through with this! Anyone else?" Terran and Marietta jumped up.
"Let's go!" they said at the same time.
"Okay, your funeral!" Jamie called out as they left the cabin. The door closed, leaving Heather, Allister, Jamie, Jessie and Lena inside.
Mess Hall
"Great! Now we only have four people and the Mongoose have eight!" Nikki threw her arms in the air in exasperation.
"Maybe we can sabotage the Mongoose?" Derrick suggested.
"What do you mean?" Brent asked.
Derrick explained. "If we can separate the Mongoose, then the killer will pick them off and we'll win!"
"I like your thinking!" Nikki said.
"So how are we gonna do this?" Brent asked.
"Well, we'll have to go together, so the killer can't get us." Derrick looked at Cassie, who was listening intently. "To follow a horror movie, first we're gonna have to take out either the funny guys or the slutty girls."
"Well, he already got Hailey..." Nikki mused. "And TJ and Leighton were probably making out."
"So we should probably go after Terran, right?" Brent said.
"You got it! Then we just have to get all the rest until one shy girl or one weak girl are left, and they'll be the Final Girl."
"So..." Brent gulped, "Heather will be the last one?" Derrick nodded his head.
"Enough talk!" Nikki stood up. "Let's do this!"
Terran, Raine and Marietta
Little did the Llamas know, three Mongoose were listening in in on their plan. They were all looking through the window in the Mess Hall.
"Those cheaters!" Marietta hissed.
"Dude, we're doing the same thing," Terran reminded her. Marietta made an 'O' with her mouth.
"Should we just go back to the cabin?" Raine said. Terran nodded his head. The three turned to leave, but Terran Raine ran into something hard. Marietta looked back to see a huge figure, bigger than Chef, attack Terran and Raine.
"OH MY GOD!" Raine said as the behemoth lifted her and Terran onto his shoulders.
"RUN MARIETTA!" Terran shouted. Before the killer could look behind him, Marietta was gone and headed to the Mongoose cabin.
Fighting Mongoose Cabin
The remaining Mongooses waited in the cabin. After hearing Terran and Raine scream, they knew it was only a matter of time to hear Marietta scream. That scream never came.
"Either this is a good thing, or a really bad thing," Jamie said. Suddenly they heard frantic breathing and rushed footsteps. Lena and Heather both jumped from their bunks. The door burst open and Marietta appeared.
"HE GOT TERRAN AND RAINE!" She hurriedly closed the door behind her and leaned her back against it. She was still breathing heavily when Jessie approached her.
"You know it's just a game, right?" Jessie said. Marietta stopped panting and looked up.
"Really?" All of the Mongooses nodded their heads. "Oh! Well, we still have more people alive!"
Forest
Hailey's eyes slowly fluttered open. When did she fall asleep anyway? She looked around and she was in the clearing with a huge trailer. TJ, Leighton, Terran and Raine and were asleep all around her, too.
"HEY! Wake up!" she screamed. The other campers slowly awoke to Hailey's annoying voice.
"Where are we?" TJ looked around. "Whose trailer is that?"
"Chris's," Raine answered with much disdain. "He gets that and we get cabins that are crap!"
"Should we just hang out here till the challenge is over?" Terran asked. Before he could finish speaking, the others were already halfway to Chris's trailer. He ran after them but stopped when TJ was about to open the door.
"WAIT!" Terran called out. TJ ignored him and opened the door and stepped inside with Leighton following close behind. Oddly enough, no trap was set off.
"Guess he only had set up, eh Terran?" Raine said with a smirk at Terran. Inside, it looked like a cyclone had passed through. Furniture and paraphernalia was strewn everywhere.
"What happened?" Leighton asked. Hailey walked away from the group and into Chris's bedroom. Chris was still in his bed, facing up. His eyes were closed and his tongue hung out slightly.
"Real funny, Chris!" Hailey said as she yanked the sheets off him. Hailey screamed and nearly fainted at what she saw. The others came and saw what had happened.
"OH MY GOD!" they all chorused. Chris had a sharp and shining knife embedded into his chest. Clotting blood was covering his body and soaked his clothes.
"Guys," TJ began, "I don't think this is a challenge anymore!"
Brent, Cassie, Nikki and Derrick
The remaining Llamas were walking stealthily over to the Mongooses' cabin. They had just seen Marietta bolt inside, but didn't know that the killer was still close. When they were able to see inside the cabin windows, Brent heard a sound coming from the forest. He turned around and saw a menacing figure run over to the Mess Hall. Luckily, it didn't see them.
"Guys!" Brent whispered. "The killer's here!"
"Where?" Derrick asked worriedly.
"In the Mess Hall!" A loud crack suddenly filled the quiet air.
"What was that?" Nikki asked. They turned around and the killer was standing right behind them. They were frozen to their place. The killer slowly started advancing.
"Here's the plan," Derrick said quickly. "We run off in different directions. Whoever he doesn't chase, hide until the end of the challenge so we can win. GO!" The four bolted off in different directions. Nikki ran into the woods, Cassie back to the Mess Hall, Brent to the washroom, and Derrick to the Savage Llamas' cabin. The killer stayed stationary for a while until he decided to chase after Derrick.
Cassie
Cassie ran into the Mess Hall faster than she had ever run before. When she saw that the killer wasn't following her, she followed Derrick's instruction. She ran into the kitchen. The kitchen was just as gross and undesirable as Chef, and his food, were. There were dirty dishes all around mold growing everywhere. Not really caring at this moment, she climbed into a cabinet and stayed silent.
Derrick
Derrick ran as fast as he could, but he still couldn't outrun the killer. He finally made it to his cabin when realization hit him. The door was still locked. He tried to push it open, but the adrenaline rush just wasn't strong enough. The killer came up behind him and very unceremoniously picked him up and placed him on his shoulder.
Derrick didn't squirm like the others. He knew he was done. The killer ran back to the Mess Hall, accidentally hitting Derrick in the head with the flag pole. When the killer saw Derrick was unconscious, he laid him down and went after Brent.
Brent
Brent ran passed the Mongooses' cabin into the washroom. As soon as he was inside, he saw there wasn't a hiding spot. It was completely open and the shower and and toilet stall doors were falling off their hinges. Suddenly, a piece of the roof fell and hit him on his head.
"Ow!" he screamed just a little bit too loud. He heard the killer quickly walk towards him. He looked up and saw that there was a hole big enough for him to hide in. Without a second thought, Brent jumped up and climbed into the hole in the ceiling. He watched from the roof the killer come in and search the entire washroom. The killer never found Brent and went back outside to get Nikki.
Nikki
Nikki was running aimlessly in the woods. She had seen Cassie get to the Mess Hall safely and Derrick get knocked out. She stopped for a bit to watch the killer go into the washroom. When he came out empty handed, she began running again. She tried to run full-circle around the island, but was worn out fast.
She stopped just behind the Fighting Mongooses' cabin. She sat down just under the window to catch her breath. Unfortunately, her loud breathing drowned out the sound of the encroaching footsteps. She didn't notice anything until the killer was standing right in front of her.
"Perfect!" she said angrily.
Fighting Mongooses Cabin
The Mongooses were completely unaware of the predicament outside. They waited in utter boredom for what seemed like hours. Out of the corner of his eye, Allister noticed Nikki sit down under the window.
"Guys, I think we might have almost won," he said dully. He nodded his head over to the window. Thee campers clustered to it just in time to see Nikki be captured and taken away to where the killer had Derrick. The killer noticed the group inside the cabin and planned his next move.
"Do you think he noticed?" Lena asked.
"I hope not..." Heather added. The killer quickly took Derrick and a very feisty Nikki to Chris's trailer before coming back to the Fighting Mongooses' cabin. Jessie saw him coming.
"Guys! Hide! He's here!" All of the campers ducked under their bunks. The killer pounded on the door and it fell down, showering everyone in dust.
Confession Cam
Jamie crossed his arms across his chest. "I hope Chris will pay to have that door fixed."
Heather and Lena both screamed and jumped up. They, along with Jessie, Jamie and Allister, were able to run out of the cabin leaving the killer with Marietta. The killer chuckled to himself as he grabbed a struggling Marietta.
Jessie, Lena and Heather were able to escape into the washroom. Jamie and Allister weren't so lucky. They stood near the flagpole, not knowing where they could hide.
"I love you, Allister!" Jamie said dramatically as he pulled his boyfriend into a kiss.
"You do know that this isn't real, right?" Allister said.
"Yeah, I just got caught up in the moment." Jamie shrugged his shoulders the killer took him, Allister and Marietta to Chris's Trailer.
Chris's Trailer
Raine, Hailey, TJ, Leighton and Terran were scared out of their wits. They still couldn't get over Chris getting murdered. This was supposed to be an unchartered island! The door to the trailer was opened fiercely and several more people were thrown inside. Jamie, Allister, Marietta, Nikki and Derrick.
"Chris was murdered!" Leighton said, near crying.
"Really!" Jamie said. TJ showed the newcomers the bed were Chris's body lay.
"Why didn't you guys get out of here earlier?" Derrick asked.
"The doors were locked." TJ shrugged. Jamie eyed the "body" suspiciously. He went up and licked his chest.
"Jamie! I'm accepting of your lifestyle choice and all," TJ began.
"Ketchup," Jamie announced flatly. The "corpse" of Chris MacClean suddenly came to life. He removed the plastic knife from his chest.
"You guys are no fun!" Chris said. Chris then called the others into his room. "Okay, now that most of us are dead," Chris snickered, only to receive a punch from Raine, "we can watch the rest of the campers get killed!" Chris turned on his TV, which showed several shots of the island.
"Who's the killer anyway?" Leighton asked.
"Chef's dad!" Chris said happily. The other campers shuddered. They knew how bad Chef was. His dad must be even meaner!
The TV showed a shot of the bathroom. Heather, Lena and Jessie were having the same problem Brent had before.
"Where do we go?" Lena asked, frightened. A couple pieces of the roof fell onto her head. "OW! Oh, hi Brent!" she waved. Another couple of pieces fell.
"Oh sh—." Brent couldn't finish his sentence as the entire roof caved in and he was on the floor. On perfect cue, the killer arrived and immediately grabbed all four of them. "Great. We lost," Brent said. The killer unmasked himself. He looked just like Chef, except grumpier. If that was even possible.
"Okay, maggots!" his booming voice sounded. "Savage Llamas win!" With that, Chef's dad turned on his heel and left.
"WHAT?!" Chris, the Llamas, and the Mongooses all said at the same time. Out of nowhere, Cassie appeared on the screen. She walked to the washroom to see Brent and the girls.
"Remember me?" she said.
"That's my girl!" Terran cheered at the TV. Chris took the campers back to camp on an ATV he had stashed in the forest.
"Okay! Now that everyone's here, Fighting Mongooses, you need to cast your vote! And since Jessie, Heather and Lena were the last ones found, they get invincibility!" Chris went back to his ATV and went to his trailer.
I don't know why, but writing the ending of this chapter was very hard! But anyway, here's a list of the fears I have and I need:
Heather: Bees
Jamie: Sarah Palin
Raine: Opera
Marietta: Heights
Allister: Mice
Jessie: ???
Terran: Clowns
Lena: Strawberry Milk
Brent: Paula Dean

TJ: ???
Nikki: ??? (I might make it fear of the dark)
Hailey: ???
So there you go! Please send me a PM of your character's fear! Also, I've decided that Horror Week will last until there are only ten campers left. Vote in the poll, yadda, yadda, yadda...PLZ R&R!!!
