Okay! My excuse THIS time is that I have no good excuse. School starts on the 19th, and I went to squeeze out one last chapter before I start my high school career as a freshman! WHOOHOO! Anyway, on with the challenge.
Boys' Cabin
It was now the official final four. Marietta, Terran, Raine, and Allister had fought, clawed, and manipulated their ways into the coveted four spots. With the recent elimination of Vinson, and the uncovering of Raine's attempt at being a triple-agent, the game could now be played fairly. Terran and Allister were awake in their bunks, slowly coming out of the daze of sleep.
"Man," Terran yawned, "I can't believe Vinson was taking mean-lessons from Hailey."
"I know. It surprised me to. But is always the quiet ones," Allister replied with a smirk.
"ATTENTION CAMPERS!" The speakers blasted Chris' increasingly annoying voice all over the island. "Report to the campfire for today's challenge!"
"Perfect way to start the morning," Allister mumbled.
Campfire
Chris stood with his ever-present smirk awaiting the arrival of the four finalists. When they had all arrived, Chris began his caffeine-induced speech. "Welcome, campers, to today's challenge!" The campers looked around. Nothing out of the ordinary was set up.
"There isn't anything here, Chris," Raine said as she crossed her arms over her chest.
"Not yet!" Chris placed two fingers in his mouth and whistled. A large shadow was cast over the camp. They looked up to see a crane driven by Chef carrying four large wooden crates. They quickly jumped out of the shadow as the large boxes fell out. "Your challenge is inside of these boxes! Everyone choose one!"
The nervous campers did as they were told, some expecting the worst, the rest afraid of the boxes' contents. "Inside each box are eighteen wooden heads representing the eighteen heads of the campers whom you have denied the chance of winning the million-dollar prize."
"Jeez, you're making us sound like murderers!" Terran exclaimed.
"Well aren't you? Viciously killing the dreams that could've come true for these poor teenagers?" The faint sound of an invisible violin filled the air.
"Whatever, let's just get to the challenge!" Raine urged. Chris held his hands up in defense.
"All right, fine. Your job is to stack the heads in the order the campers were eliminated. There will be two heads for Vinson. If your tower falls, you're automatically disqualified. Get it? Got it? All right! GO!" As Chris finished his explanation, Chef jumped from the crane's cab. With one solid punch each, he was able to break open all the boxes.
"Have fun, maggots," he grumbled as he made his way to the Mess Hall. The boxes spilled forth their wooden sculptures. The campers immediately began to sift through them.
Allister got to work immediately. He instantly remembered Jaro being first, followed by Vinson. Todd was next, but he couldn't remember who was next.
Raine didn't start to build her tower immediately. Instead, she organized all the heads so she could look at all of them at once.
Confession Cam
"I may have lost some time, but it'll be made up for when I dominate this challenge!" Raine said.
Terran was working backwards, starting with Vincent, then going to Jessie. He then held up two heads: TJ and Cassie. He felt a pang of sadness. Cassie was one of the best people he had ever met, and TJ was probably his best friend on the show. He quickly tossed these feelings aside and set them under Jessie.
Marietta fumbled around clumsily with the heads. She had no idea where to began. Somehow, Heather and Brent's heads found their way into her hands. She giggled slightly and made them kiss.
"Ha! Terran, look at this!" Terran looked and gave her a quick smile before returning to his work. By now, Allister had gotten pretty far, having Jaro, Vinson, Todd, Sapphire, and Damon set up. He remembered the next challenge was the first of Horror Week, but couldn't remember who was eliminated.
Raine was moving quickly, having everyone up to Derrick set up. She then gulped as she realized who was next. Lena. The Saw challenge was still fresh in her mind. Her and Leighton had failed to save Lena, and that caused her elimination.
"She was so nice, too…" Raine mused as she placed her head on the tower.
Terran was struggling with the Horror Week eliminations. The entire week seemed to fly by, with no break between challenges. He was trying to decide between Derrick, Lena, and Marietta. He remembered Derrick didn't face his fear of pressing big red buttons, and that that challenge wasn't first.
"Man! This is hard!" He randomly put Lena, then Derrick, then Marietta on his tower.
Allister was done with Horror Week, and gladly put Hailey next. He smiled as he remembered the karaoke competition. That was one of the first times Jamie and him truly felt like their in love. He was so wrapped in the moment at the time, he forgot who was eliminated.
"Dammit," he cursed under his breath.
Marietta was in dead last, only having up to Damon finished. "Damon…" she said dreamily. With her instincts taking over, she placed the block of wood hard against her lips in a very sloppy kiss.
Confession Cam
Marietta plucked several splinters out of her mouth, wincing at everyone. "Don't―OW!―make out with―OW!―wooden sculptures!―OWWW!!!"
Raine was nearly done. She was down to the last five or six, but was struggling on whether to put Heather or Jamie next.
Terran was nearly done, but he knew he screw up several times. "Oh well…" he shrugged as he placed Hailey between Brent and Nikki.
Allister was nearly done. He had just placed TJ on top, when he noticed something. "Crap!" He forgot to put Hailey in the tower. "It's always Hailey's fault, isn't it?" he mused. As he bent down to pick up the head, he accidently knocked his entire tower over. Any other person would be fuming mad, but he just sighed and started over.
Marietta was now up to herself. "Wow! I look cute even as a wood carving!" She was snapped out of her trance by Chris' whistle.
"Alright, campers! Stop! We have a winner!" Marietta turned to look at Terran was close to being done, but had many mistake, and Allister's tower had fallen over. Then she saw Raine standing proudly next to her tower, all of the heads in the right order.
"That's right! I won!" Raine did a small happy dance while singing to herself.
"Alright! We get it!" Chris said, obviously annoyed. "Anyway, at tonight's campfire ceremony, Raine, you will have invincibility. As for you others, decide who's going home tonight!" Chris left the campfire, leaving the campers exhausted and nervous for tonight's elimination.
Yeah, another REALLY short chapter. I promise, once I get some better challenge ideas, the chapters will be longer and better! In other news, the sequel to this tory will be coming soon, probably in November to celebrate the first birthday of this story! It will have ten returnees from this story, as well as the first season of Total Drama Island, and ten new OCs. Anyway, vote in the poll on my profile and review!
