It was 9:00 P.M. at Camp Wawanakwa, which could only mean one thing. The Campfire Ceremony to eliminate one or two campers was set to begin. All of the campers, both the Weasels and the Ferrets were sitting on the log stumps, patiently waiting for Chris to show up to see who would be eliminated. Ten of the contestants didn't need to worry since they had successfully gained invincibility. But still, you never know what you're in for when you're dealing with Chris.
The Ferrets, who were still high-up on their past victories weren't really all that worried. The Weasels, however, were all very anxious; as they were afraid another one of their own was going home. Five campers from both teams had successfully won invincibility, so it was half-and-half for both sides. But still, as Steve said earlier in the challenge, it's every camper for themselves, and sometimes you couldn't trust anyone. Even your closest friends.
As the campers were all sitting around, they looked as Chris approached, with his usual smirk glued to his face. And as usual, he was carrying the plate of marshmallows, which would determine which campers were staying, and which were going home.
"Well, it was certainly a dramatic day, wouldn't you say campers? But let's not procrastinate, shall we?" Chris asked himself. "As you can all see, I have a tray of 27 marshmallows, which ten of you shall get immediately, since you gained invincibility. The rest of you, when I call your name, come up and get your marshmallow. The two campers, who do not receive a marshmallow, must immediately walk to the Dock of Shame to catch the Boat of Losers. And you can never come back. Ever." Chris explained, chuckling at the end.
"First off, the campers who gained invincibility… Anna." Anna smiled as she caught her marshmallow.
"Next up, we have… Coraline." Coraline, who was reading a book, caught her marshmallow in her free hand, and swiftly threw it into her mouth.
"Javius." Javius caught his marshmallow and ate it quickly.
"Spencer." Spencer caught her marshmallow in both of her hands, and flicked it in her mouth.
"Leilani." Leilani caught her marshmallow, and smiled as Rylan patted her shoulder.
"Amy." Amy smirked as she caught her marshmallow in her mouth, impressed with herself."
"Kat." Kat sighed, as she smiled and clumsily caught the marshmallow in her hands.
"James." James smiled as he caught his marshmallow, and threw it in his mouth, unaware that Terry and Kira were glaring at him, behind his back.
"Evelien." Evelien fumbled with her marshmallow, but Zach, who was sitting by her, caught it, and handed it to her. She blushed as she took it from him, but smiled as she thanked him.
"Lastly, Zach." Zach waited until the marshmallow came to him, and he swiftly caught it in mid-air, popping it into his mouth.
"Now, onto the campers who had no votes." Chris informed. "First off, we have…Frankie." Frankie smiled and caught her marshmallow in her hand. She looked at smiled at Sammy, who was looking away from her, embarrassed at what had happened this afternoon. She smirked and put her hand in his, making him look at her, as he tried in a failed attempt to get her hand off of his. He eventually gave up, and grumbled as he continued to look away from her.
"Maddie." Maddie smiled and caught his marshmallow in his hand, smiling at himself and Lyon, who was sitting beside him.
"Lyon." Lyon heard his name, and caught his marshmallow in both his hands, as he broke it in half, eating both, happily.
"George." George held his hand open as he was doing crazy mathematical equations in his head. He caught it and put it in his pocket, saving it for later.
"Rylan." Rylan sighed when he heard his name being called, and caught his marshmallow in his hand, nearly dropping it, before Leilani caught it for him. He blushed, and scratched the back of his head, as he took it from her.
"Victoria." Victoria let out a 'yay' as she caught her marshmallow and showed it to Charlotte, who simply rolled her eyes.
"Brooke." Brooke sighed as she was still safe, despite being the first one out in the game. She caught her marshmallow, and popped it in her mouth.
"Rachel." Rachel smiled as she caught her marshmallow, and sighed, as she ate it. Kat smiled at her, as the two of them were still in.
"Only nine marshmallows left, campers." Chris informed. Kreena gulped, and looked at Lila and Matylda, who were also worried. Terry was starting to sweat, as his name still hadn't been called yet. He hoped one of the boys hadn't turned traitor and told about his alliance. If they did, his prime suspect would be James, since he was the one who had ratted him out in the first place. Terry growled to himself, upset.
Damion swallowed a lump in his throat, worriedly. Freddy and Charlotte were also starting to sweat, as they hadn't been called either. Meredith looked on, a bit worried. Sammy was also getting worried, as well as Frankie. The only two who didn't seem concerned was Nate and Steve.
"First off, the campers with one vote." Chris said. "First up, Kreena." Kreena smiled and caught her marshmallow in her hand, but looked as Lila and Matylda were still without a marshmallow.
"Next up, we have…Damion." Damion sighed, relieved and fumbled with his marshmallow, before he finally caught it in his hands. Leilani patted him on his shoulder, making him smile at her.
"Sammy." Sammy sighed and caught his marshmallow in his hand, as he ate it in one bite. Frankie smiled at him, and lied her head on his shoulder, which made him forget he was suppose to be upset at her.
"Meredith." Meredith shouted 'yay' as she caught her marshmallow, happily. "By the way, heard about your squabble with Chef. Good work." Chris complimented. Meredith smiled successfully, while most of the campers looked at her and Chris, confused.
*confessional*
Chris: "Chef told me about how Meredith had nearly beaten him. But now that raises an important question: if she knew had to fight, why didn't she fight against the kangaroo?"
*end confessional*
"Let's see." Chris said, counting. "I see seven campers, but there are only five marshmallows on this plate. Which means, only five of you will be chosen to remain here. The other two will have to leave." Lila and Matylda were now starting to get worried, as Matylda was once again near being eliminated. Terry was sweating bullets, worriedly, while Charlotte and Freddy swallowed another lump in their throats, which felt like a ton of bricks. Nate was now looking up worriedly, while Steve continued to rest his head on the empty stump above him.
"First up, with only two votes, we have… Charlotte." Charlotte sighed heavily, and caught her marshmallow, sighing, thankful that she was still in.
"Just so you know, the rest of you had three or more votes." Chris informed, making the rest of the campers, except Steve, worried. "Anyway, next we have…Lila." Lila, like Charlotte, sighed heavily as she was still safe. She smiled at Kreena, but looked at Matylda, who was still looking worried.
"Steve." Steve, caught his marshmallow in his hand, without looking and popped it in his mouth, bored.
"Matylda." Matylda sighed heavily, and felt Kreena squeeze her, as she was being hugged. Lila, fortunately, caught her marshmallow, which Chris threw, and handed it to her.
"Well, this is it, the final marshmallow." Chris said, holding up the last marshmallow for the night. "Terry, Nate, Freddy, two of you have spent your last night here on Wawanakwa Island." Chris informed. Terry, was now breathing heavy, worriedly. Anna looked at him, and softly touched his shoulder. He looked at her, and she had a worried look on her face. Freddy swallowed another lump in his throat, while Nate still looked at Chris, wondering who would get the marshmallow.
"And the final marshmallow for the night goes to…Terry." Terry heard his name, and released a loud 'yes', as he caught his marshmallow. Freddy sighed, while Nate shrugged. "Freddy, Nate, the Dock of Shame awaits." Freddy sighed, as he and Nate went to gather their stuff. They soon came back and the campers were there waiting for them.
"We'll miss you, guys." George said to Freddy and Nate. Freddy nodded, a bit upset, while Nate smiled at him and his friends. He waved bye as he and Freddy boarded the Boat of Losers, sailing off back home. The Ferrets sighed as they had lost two of their best players, while the Weasels were thankful their team was still together. They all began their walk back to the hotel.
"With another elimination, two more campers head home." Chris said, though he wasn't present. "Will the Ferrets be able to survive without them? What upcoming challenges will the campers face next? And as a result of Freddy's elimination and James's betrayal, how will the Guys' Alliance fair now? Find out next time, on another exciting dramatic episode of Total…Drama…Island…Resort!"
As the campers headed back to the hotel, Zach looked as he found a note on his hotel door. Picking it up, he silently read it. He then gasped, and grew angry, as he crumpled the note and threw it on the ground.
'Dear Zach,
Congratulations on your victory today, my friend. I'm happy that you will remain on the island, a bit longer. I don't know if I could bare us being separated again. You are my heart and soul, and I truly do care and thirst for you. Which is why, I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure that the girl who has eyes for you, doesn't win! I shall eliminate her, for she is plaguing you, my love! And I cannot allow anyone to dare touch you, for you are a jewel. A precious jewel that I could stare at for days. I am enchanted by you, my love. And we shall be far apart. I shall see you again, next challenge, my love. And do not worry. That demon woman will meet her end, sooner or later. I promise you that.'
Inside his hotel room, Zach mercilessly started punching and kicking his punching bag.
"We'll see." Zach thought. "We'll see."
Outside his hotel room, sitting on a tree, the dark-hooded intern smiled. He took out his picture of Zach, and looked at it admiringly. He kissed it, and sighed to himself. He soon jumped out of the tree, and started hopping away into the forest.
Well here is the elimination for Episode 10. When I finished writing it, I looked it over, and thought it looked pretty boring. So, I went back and put that last part in. ^^ I needed to some add some mystery to keep you all guessing. To be honest, in case you all don't know, I recently just thought that character up, while I was doing the last chapter. I thought, 'I need to give more info on that intern.' And while I was doing Zach's part, the idea of a gay lover came to me. And I think he came out well. Don't know if he'll show up in the next chapter or not. But I'll try to put him in there somewhere.
For those who aren't in my other story, I just want to let you know that this may be my last chapter for both of my stories. I start college on the 16th of this month, and I need to get back on my night schedule. I'll still keep writing when I can, but if the chapters don't come out as quickly as they should, now you know the reason. I hope you can bare with me till then. I thank you all in advance. Well, that's all from me at the moment. I'll see you all whenever I can. Later!
P.S. Sorry to Nate and Freddy. I hope to see them back whenever I bring back two old campers.
P.P.S. I was planning on naming that intern, but I couldn't think of a good Japanese name. So, that's the reason the letter doesn't have an ending.
