OK, I have been having some problems at school, but I'm sure I can handle it. Anyway, been having trouble deciding the next few challenges. So expect some delays.

So without further ado, HERE'S THE CHALLENGE'S END!

Warning-one f-bomb.


(Group Listings)

Group 1: Laura, Izzy, Jake, Harold, Heather.

Group 2: Andrew, Leshawna, Sara, Bridgette, Ezekiel.

Group 3: Geoff, Trent, Courtney, Gwen, Duncan.


(Group 1)

Harold panted with the other three after catching Izzy attempting to slice apart the deer "gosh Izzy, you really got into that berserker rage."

Izzy was standing in the middle of the other 4, pouting "oh phooey, my prey got away."

Walking away from the group with the GPS, Heather snapped in irritation "if we're done playing tag with the Psycho Hose Beast, let's get moving!"

Laura frowned and looked up from her sketchbook, depicting Izzy chasing the deer "we're not in a rush you know?"

Heather scowled "we wasted a half hour chasing the escaped psych ward patient around stopping her from committing cannibalism on that deer and we need to head back now to make up for time."

Jake sighed "fine, let's go. Where's Wolfo?"

At that moment, the wolf cub came from out of the bushes after helping Izzy chase the deer and sat at Heather's feet, panting happily.

The queen bee stared in surprise, unsure what to think "what is he doing?"

Jake grinned "awwww, he likes you."

Heather blinked, clearly not knowing what to say "um yeah that's nice, but I'm a cat person." She leaned down at the panting cub, unable to get annoyed at the adorable little creature, and waved sheepishly "uh...hi?"

"BARK!" Wolfo barked happily.

"He say's hi." Izzy translated.

"Whatever." Was all Heather said as she walked forward hastily with the others quickly following.


(CONFESSIONAL CAM)

Izzy- It's disappointing that I was unable to catch the deer. It would have helped me to be more in tune with my inner animal spirit.

Jake- (petting Wolfo on his lap. Looks down at the cub) Do you like her boy? (Wolfo just stares for a second and yips) I'm gonna take that as a yes. (Looks at camera) Heather not insulting Wolfo was really surprising. Maybe she likes animals?


After a few minutes of walking, Heather frowned as the GPS suddenly turned to static "we're losing service."

Harold looked up into one of the trees, a particularly tall one "maybe if we climb we can get better reception from a higher vantage point."

"OH OH ME!" Izzy jumped up and down "I'm a great climber!"

Laura frowned "just be careful."

"Oh don't be a worry wart. Izzy is like a monkey, able to leap the tallest buildings in a single bound...or was that someone else?"

Heather groaned "just climb so we can get to camp as fast as we can."

Izzy shrugged while taking the GPS and started to climb.

As they waited, Heather paced back and forth, muttering impatiently "hurry up crazy girl."

"Take it easy Queenie."

Heather looked next to her to see Laura looking at her with a hint of annoyance "she should be down any second."

"Not soon enough. I have to get back to camp."

Laura stared at her with curiosity "so you can call home right?"

Heather glared at her "yes, and before you ask, no, I'm not telling you why I have to."

"Is there something you've heard about? Like your Mom's in an accident or what?" Laura guessed, although she was starting to have a good idea.

The queen bee snarled "don't guess, I just have to check up on something."

Laura took a deep breath. Despite what Heather had done, she hated seeing anyone worry or in pain so she asked "what are you so freaked out about?"

Heather stopped and had her back to Laura for a second. She then turned with a suspicious look and voice "why are you so worried?" She then put in a bitter sarcastic tone "I'm Heather, I'm evil, I eat little puppies, I'm a sadistic monster who gets kicks off hurting others, like you."

The changed girl fell silent at the cynical bitter tone, remembering the incidents in the past. Before she could say another word, Harold came up to them "excuse me Laura, I have to talk to Heather alone for a second."

Heather glared at him "why?"

"Sorry, but I have to ask you something."

Laura gave Heather one last glance, but walked towards Jake, where he and Wolfo tried to spot Izzy on top of the tree. Harold cleared his throat and gave a dramatic eye at Heather "what did you see during the Dead Rising challenge?"

Heather blinked "huh?"

"You were with m'lady when the two of you were eliminated in the bathrooms. Who took you out?"

'Oh great' Heather thought to herself with a groan. She heard about the so called 'investigation' Harold was conducting and knew it was only a matter of time before he came up to her. Heather sighed "I don't know, I was facing the door, so whoever it was came from the ventilation shaft. Look, it was probably a returning camper who wanted some last kills before the timer ran out."

Harold nodded "that's probably true, but I wish to know how m'lady was voted off when people like Courtney or." He paused as he looked a little embarrassed "or...well 'others' were up for elimination."

"You mean me right?" Heather matter of factly said.

Harold winced a little and nodded.

Izzy broke up the two's conversation "I GOT A SIGNAL! IT'S TO THE WEST AND ONLY A HALF A MILE!"

Heather ran in that direction immediately with Harold following soon after while Izzy flipped from branch to branch athletically until she reached the ground with a pose "TA-DA!"

Jake clapped "NICE!"

Izzy grinned, but saw Laura's lost expression "my little protege, is something the matter?"

"Nothing Mistress."


(CONFESSIONAL CAM)

Harold- So Heather won't say who she voted for her so she is still a suspect. (takes out notebook) Let's see who was on the chopping block, I'm sure Geoff and Cody voted for each other due to how Cody was like back then. Leshawna would have undeniably voted for Heather. M'lady wouldn't vote for herself. Ezekiel was her friend so he wouldn't do that. I'm pretty sure Courtney voted for m'lady so that leaves...Izzy, Duncan, Heather, and Gwen. 2 of them voted for her and I will find out who did. However, from now on I will do it as discreetly as possible so as to not draw attention to myself.

Laura- (looks conflicted) I should leave Heather to herself so she can feel the conflict I did a few weeks back but...(sighs in annoyance while pinching the bridge of her nose) man I hate being nice.

Heather- (takes out cell phone and slams it on the wall out of desperation) WORK DAMN IT! WORK!


(Group 2)

Sara was muttering a tone under her breath as the pair walked thru the dense bush "everything to prove, nothing in my way, I'll get there one day."

Ezekiel looked at her curiously "what's that song eh?"

Sara chuckled "silly Zeke, it's the theme song for the show. It was playing at the sign up station where I sent my audition tape."

The prairie boy sighed "I hoped that went better than mine. I tried to do some archery, but I almost hit my Mother by accident."

Sara gasped "was she alright?"

"Yeah, just startled eh." Ezekiel replied "I admit, I thought this show was a bad idea at first, but I'm glad I came here, I just wish we didn't get killed almost everyday eh."

The singer smiled in agreement "yeah, life threatening challenges I can do without." She then noticed one of them falling behind and ran back "Leshawna do you need to rest?"

The sweating and panting street girl waved her off "I'm fine girl, let's go on." She stepped forward another few feet, but fell to her knees.

At that point from up front, Andrew and Bridgette came up with Bridgette asking in concern "Leshawna what's wrong?"

Her friend tried to stand up "I just need to catch my second wind is all."

Andrew shook his head "look, it's probably not much farther we just need to go a little more."

Bridgette frowned at him "don't be cruel! We should wait."

"We might lose invincibility." Andrew pointed out "the rules said the first 2 group would win invincibility while the last group would have to vote someone off. I just don't want to have to vote for someone."

Bridgette looked worried "who would you vote for?"

Andrew looked away "well, obviously not you."

The surfer felt a little touched at this "aw Andrew..."

Andrew grunted, stopping Bridgette "anyway, maybe we should just carry her. Though it won't be easy."

"HOLD UP!" Leshawna stood up with sudden energy, the frustration from the hike and exhaustion building up to a boiling point "what the hell is 'it won't be easy' supposed to mean?"

Bridgette looked startled at the sudden anger while Andrew shrugged "it's always harder to carry extra weight when going on a hiking trip. No big deal."

"EXTRA WEIGHT! ? Did you just call me fat?" Leshawna angrily accused.

"Hold up I'm sorry, that's not what..." Andrew tried to defend himself with irritation.

Leshawna rolled her sleeves up "oh your gonna be sorry in a minute boy!"

Bridgette stepped between the two frantically "Leshawna, just take a slow breath, he didn't mean anything by it."

"Yeah right. He probably learned some insultsfrom that little tramp!" Leshawna pointed a finger at Andrew, who scowled fiercely.

"What?" Andrew responded with a cold disposition.

"You heard me! You like that little whore don't you! ?" Leshawna barked and pushed a finger into Andrew's chest.

Andrew fell silent at that, grinding his teeth at the word Leshawna used to describe Heather.

Ezekiel pulled his toque over his eyes "I'm not getting involved eh."

Sara gasped in horror "Leshawna!"

"HEY!"

The group looked to see Paula in front of them with a flat look "just so you know, your only like 200 feet from the campsite, so congratulations on being the first team here."

Leshawna groaned "good." She gave one last glare at Andrew and stormed off, wanting to rest in the girl's cabin.

Sara and Ezekiel looked a little sheepish and walked to the clearing, wanting to see when the other teams would make it back.

Meanwhile, Bridgette looked down while Andrew sighed and put a hand on her shoulder "sorry about that."

"Not your fault." Bridgette sniffed, looking upset at the sudden anger in Leshawna.

"Look on the bright side. At least we're not eaten." Andrew tried to cheer her up.

Bridgette at least nodded "yeah."

Andrew shook his head and walked off, but stopped to hear Bridgette saying "wait."

He stopped, but didn't turn around as Bridgette asked "do you really like Heather, you know, like 'that'?"

After a full minute of silence of uncomfortable silence filling the air, Andrew just said apologetically "it's complicated." With that, he walked off, leaving a confused and upset surfer.


(CONFESSIONAL CAM)

Andrew- (rubs forehead) Oh man, I hate seeing Bridgette like that. It's like looking at a kicked puppy. Seriously though, Leshawna has to get a handle on that temper of hers. I don't want her as my enemy.

Bridgette- (looks upset) I get that Leshawna was mad, but I never thought it would come out like THAT. (sniffs) This really isn't how I wanted those two to get along.

Leshawna- (growls) That boy practically called me fat to my face. I'll make sure he get's his soon. Him and that little Bitch too.

Sara- (deadpan expression) Well, that went well.


(Group 3)

"AAAAAAAAHHHH!"

Screams rang through the air as the group of teens ran through the woods trying to escape the Sasquatchinakwa creature. They had been chased by it for the last few minutes and were starting to get tired.

Trent panted "oh man, that thing's not giving up!"

"We've noticed!" Gwen snapped "it'll get tired eventually."

The group went into a large bush as the hulk like creature stomped past them. After a minute of silence, Trent breathed out "I think it's gone."

"You sure?" Duncan asked worriedly.

"It's quiet." Geoff cut in "too quiet." He then grinned "always wanted to say that."

SLAP! Courtney slapped him "STOP JOKING AROUND! We have to lose that thing!"

Gwen scoffed "how do you expect to do that? Ask him nicely?"

"We just get someone to lure it away." Courtney explained "maybe our fastest so they have a chance to outrun it. If their lucky, they'll get away in one piece."

Trent scowled "that's ridiculous!"

Courtney sneered angrily, clearly used to being obeyed right away "oh come on what do any of you losers have to lose."

"Our limbs." Gwen ticked off her fingers "our spines, our brains, the little sanity we have left just to name a few."

The CIT shrugged "it's the only way. I volunteer Geoff."

The party boy paled "ME! ?"

"You outran that wolf during the trust challenge so you should out run that monstrosity." Courtney explained unconcernedly.


(CONFESSIONAL CAM)

Courtney- Of course I wasn't going out there. That would be suicide. Geoff honestly seems the fastest and if he doesn't make it (shrugs) oh well, at least it was the Mouthy Bitch's boyfriend's.


Geoff gulped in terror "but...but."

"I'll do it."

The 4 stared in shock at Duncan, who looked determined "I've got enough practice running from the law and let's me think quick on my feet."

"Dude..." Geoff began.

Duncan gave a brief glance at Gwen, which she noticed, then at Geoff "Geoff, your my bud and there's no way I'm letting let you be a steak for that thing, so I'll lure it away, you guy's head back to camp as fast as you can."

Trent frowned "this is a bad idea."

"Better than none at all. Besides it's my plan, it'll work." Courtney said arrogantly.

Duncan scoffed and crouched down, getting ready to run. Geoff and Courtney walked a few feet out front to check the area around them for the Sasquatchinakwa, with Gwen asking, still in shock "what are you doing?"

The punk stared at her, looked to see Geoff and Courtney looking to the surroundings, not paying attention. He then looked in Gwen's eyes and shrugged casually "showing you I'm not like Higgins."

Gwen's jaw hit the ground as he said that while Trent blinked in shock.

Duncan continued as if not noticing the reaction with a casual air "uh yeah Sunshine, here's a tip. Before you tell someone a secret like that, make sure everyone is actually asleep."

Trent stared in shock "you heard?"

"Every word." Duncan then looked at Gwen, but before he could say anything else, he heard Geoff shout "GO!"

Duncan charged out of the bush with a yell "HEY UGLY! OVER HERE!

"RRAAAAAARG!" The creature burst through the foliage and Duncan, almost like a flash, darted out of the area with the Sasquatchinakwa hot on his heels.

Courtney barked "GO!"

The others ran with Gwen pausing for a moment and looked to where Duncan just ran off with wide eyes.


(CONFESSIONAL CAM)

Gwen- (stuttering out of disbelief and sheer amazement) But...I...He's supposed to be...I.

Duncan- I guess if being chased by a damn Sasquatch wannabe isn't enough for her to trust me, nothing will.


After almost a full 5 minutes, Duncan slumped against a tree in exhaustion, unable to go any further. He looked around frantically, not seeing the creature anywhere.

'Ok Dunc, just take a breath. Maybe you lost it.' The punk thought reassuringly as he looked all around him. He got off the trunk he was leaning on and backed up slowly.

"Hmm, maybe I did lose it." He muttered to himself as he stepped backwards until he hit a furry tree from behind.

'Wait...trees don't move...or have fur...or.'

"GGGGGRRRRRR."

'Growl.' Duncan finished in panic as he turned to see the Sasquatchinakwa glaring down at him.

"AAAAAAAAH!" Duncan screamed as the beast leaned down.

However, out of the sky like a saving grace, a roar came "AIAIAIAIAIAIAI!"

Duncan stared with wide eyes as Izzy came from the trees and tackled the beast to the ground in a choke-hold "SAY UNCLE SASSY! SAY UNCLE!"


(CONFESSIONAL CAM)

Duncan- Typical, not even that thing can stop the sheer force of insanity that is Izzy.

Izzy- We were walking nearby, or at least my group was walking and I was in the trees, when I heard the cry of the beast! I HAD TO ATTACK AND SHOW THE WORLD THAT IT'S SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST!


"Izzy where are you?" Harold's voice cried out as the Izzy's group ran into the area and saw the creature Izzy had on the ground. Her left arm wrapped around it's neck, while the right arm reached around and pulled on it's right leg, subduing it.

Heather paled "what the hell is that?"

Jake yelped "IT IS REAL!" He then went behind Harold, who went into a fighting pose, not backing down to the creature.

Laura looked at Izzy "Mistress?"

Izzy grinned excitedly "oh I think he's trying to give up! SAY IT! SAY IT!"

The creature groaned and choked at Izzy's death grip around his throat. His arms shook and one of them seemed to be pointing at Duncan.

Duncan grinned "yeah, looks like your not gonna eat me now are ya, you big ugly ape."

"How did you find this thing?" Laura asked Duncan.

The punk shrugged "we ran into it. The Daddy's Girl actually thought it was Chef and tried to pull the 'mask' off of him."

Jake gulped "so what do we do with him now?"

Izzy grinned maniacally "we could use a fur rug in the Girl's Cabin. Hey girl's, you think this will go well in the Cabin?"

Laura rubbed her chin in thought while Heather blinked "are you nuts?" She then groaned in realization "what am I saying?"

The ape man groaned as it seemed to point at Duncan's lower area.

Harold seemed to grow thoughtful as he asked "Duncan, do you have anything in your pockets?"

"What? All I have are my lighter, switchblade, and some Twinkies I got from that supply bag my group got for the challenge." He pulled out each item in turn, with the Sasquatchinakwa eyes widening at the delicious snack.

"OH OH OH!" The creature pointed as much as possible in it's state.

Izzy blinked "wow, I think it wanted the Twinkies."

Duncan's stared incredulously "IT CHASED ME LIKE A DAMN LUNATIC JUST CAUSE IT WANTED THE DAMN TWINKIES! ?"

Izzy shrugged "apparently."

"Why did it roar though?" Harold wondered.

The lovable psycho shrugged "maybe it's just naturally aggressive and that was his way of asking for them."

"Well it didn't need to look like it was gonna make us the main course." Duncan grumbled.

She let go of the monster, who hooted and shot to it's feet, looking pleadingly at the Twinkies in Duncan's hands, not showing any aggressive nature.

Duncan cautiously let out it's hand "you want these buddy?"

The beast stepped forward slowly and sniffed the package. It then gave a toothy grin as it plucked it out of Duncan's hands with a hoot and gave a bellow "OHOHOHOHOHOHOHOH!" After that it ran into the wilderness.

Duncan snorted "this is the nuttiest island on Earth." He then looked around and realized.

The others had gone off ahead without him while he was giving the Sasquatchinakwa


(CONFESSIONAL CAM)

Izzy- (sage-like voice) When all hope is lost, remember, there is no problem too great that Twinkies cannot solve.

Jake- Well that was interesting. That incident makes me wonder if there's anything else here. (grins) But that was so WICKED that Izzy took that thing down. She was all like KAPOW AND BAMBAM! ANd WOOSH it's down!

Harold- I could have take it you know. I just had to hit one of it's joint and he would be down like a sack of hammers.


(Campsite)

Sara, Ezekiel, Bridgette, and the rest of Group 3 were in the campsite as they waited for the others with Chef, and the Interns. Chef had said that since Group 3 was missing Duncan, they couldn't get immunity with Group 2 and had to wait for him to come back in order for them to win.

Currently Bridgette was being consoled by Geoff after what had happened to her team.

"Don't worry babe." Geoff reassured her "I'm sure Leshawna will calm down soon."

Bridgette sighed "I'm not so sure, she's so stubborn."

Geoff grinned "just have faith Bridge."

That was what Bridgette liked about Geoff. His never ending optimism and good nature always managed to put a smile on her face, like right now "thanks."

"So where are they?"

"Andrew's taking a walk on the beach and Leshawna's resting from that hike. It really took alot out of her." Bridgette explained.

Meanwhile Gwen was still surprised that Duncan had done that while Trent was explaining "you see? I told you Duncan wouldn't be like that."

"But it doesn't make sense." Gwen explained frantically "he's a jerk, he insults everybody and shows no respect. Guy's like him don't do things like 'sacrifice' and whatnot."

Trent frowned and looked out to the forest "I sure hope he'll be alright."

Gwen then looked around to make sure no one would listen in "and he knows about...well you know."

Trent nodded and looked sheepish "yeah we probably should have made sure everyone was asleep." He then looked to the woods "you think he'll be back soon?"

From nearby, Courtney snorted "don't get your hopes up, he's probably already mauled by now."

Gwen barked, not able to keep it in "shut up! At least he volunteered while you wanted Geoff to draw that thing off."

Bridgette gasped "WHAT! ?"

Courtney sniffed "it was a logical decision. He was the fastest out of all of us."

Trent frowned "no he wasn't, Duncan was."

Gwen threw her arms in the air in exasperation as she now realized "OH COME ON! Your not STILL mad about what Bridgette said to you during that endurance challenge are you?"

Courtney remained silent, giving a hateful look at Bridgette.

From the sidelines, Graydon scratched his head in worry "aw man, I hope Duncan doesn't get eaten. It'll be tough to explain that to my Mom and Dad."

Michael waved him off "eh, I'm sure he'll be fine." He paused for a second "unless he trips, then he's screwed 20 ways to Sunday."

"MICHAEL!" Mara scolded him.

Micahel sighed "kidding, sheesh."

Mara put a hand on Graydon's shoulder "Duncan will do just fine."

Paula looked at Chef, having a question "shouldn't you guy's have combed the island and made sure that Sasquatchinakwa thing was locked up for this challenge?"

Chef shrugged "meh, we didn't know it existed."

"Aren't you even concerned at all?"

Chef scowled "of course I am, anything happens to him it's on mine and Chris's heads. I do not want to go back to prison!"

Paula glared at him "would you stop thinking of yourself! Duncan might be in trouble!"

Chef scoffed "I'm sure Punk Boy's fine."

"THERE THEY ARE!" Ezekiel suddenly shouted out. Indeed, a full pair of bodies were seen charging out of the woods, with Group 2 in front and Duncan hot at their heels.

"GO DUDE! IT'S ALL YOU!" Geoff started cheering.

"Their back?" An approaching Leshawna asked Geoff. She heard some cheering from outside who looked a little warily at her.

"Uh yeah, their coming up." Geoff pointed out.

Leshawna grinned "ALRIGHT! GO BABY BOY! IT'S ALL YOU!"

Duncan was still exhausted from the chase the Sasquatchinakwa and was weezing trying to catch up to the others, his face covered in sweat.

The other Group noticed

Trent noticed this "I don't think he can run much more guys."

Courtney scowled "PUT YOUR LEGS INTO IT DUNCAN!"

Gwen remained silent, just staring at the wheezing punk as he huffed and puffed until...he fell down.

Group 2 entered the camp with Chef announcing over a megaphone "SO GROUPS 1 AND 2 RECIEVE IMMUNITY. AS FOR GROUP 3! HA HA HA, LOOKS LIKE PUNK BOY BLEW IT FOR YOU MAGGOTS!"

Courtney stomped forward "OH GREAT! Nice job you slacker!"

Geoff stepped up "hey lay off, he tried his best!"

"HE STILL LOST!" Courtney snapped angrily "I HATE LOSING! I should have known you morons would cost us this challenge!" She then raised her foot, seeming ready to kick the fallen Duncan, but...

SLAP!

The rest of the campers stared at this in horror as they realized what just happened. Heather stared in surprise, Bridgette gasped in horror, Sara looked surprised at first then smiled a little and Trent looked fearfully at his girlfriend...

Cause Gwen had just slapped Courtney across the face.

The Goth stared into Courtney's eyes to say calmly "Bridgette was right, you are pathetic."

The CIT stood in shock silence, as if not understanding what just happened to her."

Everyone in camp slowly started to back away, slowly.

Duncan stood up and blinked "whoa, that's not good."

Courtney blinked once...twice...and again. She then did something surprising.

She turned around and walked off, wearing a blank expression on her face.


(CONFESSIONAL CAM)

Courtney- (stares at the camera with a ice cold blank stare, just eerily staring at the camera)

Gwen- OK, that was weird. And kinda creepy. (sighs) Still can't believe Duncan actually volunteered for that, it doesn't make any sense.

Duncan- (sweaty face and disheveled look around him) Well that sucks. I got chased by the Abominable Snowman's cousin and I'm tired as hell. Still at least we can get rid of You Know Who.

Sara- Well this challenge was fun at first, but the ending kinda blew it. Also, I LOVE that Gwen actually SMACKED Courtney in the face! (Laughs at that for a second, then looks troubled) I'm worried about Courtney's reaction. She didn't even do anything.


Meanwhile, Heather had immediately walked up to Chef to say "I have to call home for something."

Chef blinked "say what? No way. Besides Bossy Girl as per her Rules, all campers have no contact with the outside world."

"It's an emergency!" Heather protested. She was starting to panic, every second wasted would be a second Jewel and Damien were with him.

Chef scowled "yeaaaah, I don't CARE! So see you and the rest of Group 3 at the ceremony." He walked off, causing Heather to snarl and turn, only to bump into Harold.

"ARGH! Watch it!" Heather snarled.

Harold blinked "sorry gosh. I just want to see if you had any luck."

"No, I didn't. Only Courtney is allowed contact off the island cause of that PDA of hers and she won't let anyone use it."

Harold looked sympathetic "bummer."

"Spare me the pity." Heather snapped as she walked off.

Laura had noticed this "she can't call?"

"Nope." He then looked at her questioningly "any idea why she wants to call home so badly?"

Laura had an idea, but she shook her head not wanting to say "nope, maybe a family crises?"

Harold nodded as the two looked in her location.

At this time, Leshawna, Geoff, Ezekiel, and Jake surrounded the exhausted punk as he groaned "oh that bites. Lost most of my energy to that damn Bigfoot thing."

Leshawna blinked "that what?"

Jake shivered "it's a long story, let's just say that he's lucky he didn't have his legs ripped off."

Ezekiel paled as he realized "did you guy's..."

"YES!" Izzy jumped down from a tree, startling the others "it was a glorious battle! We each fought the other in a fight worthy OF THE GODS!" She soon cackled insanely, much to most of their discomfort.

Duncan just scowled "you just took him down with a submission maneuver and brought him off his feet!"

Izzy shushed him "they don't need to know that." She then looked over her shoulder and saw someone coming "oh hi Andy!"

Andrew walked up and gave Izzy a mixed look of annoyance and amusement "it's Andrew."

Izzy giggled "I know, I just want to see the look on your face. Come by later and I'll tell you of my battle with the Sasquatchinakwa."

before he could ask, Izzy skipped off in Laura's direction, wanting to give her a lesson on how to do that submission move she did.

Andrew just sighed and looked at Duncan "you feeling OK Duncan?"

Duncan smirked "aw don't be a worry war man. Although I'm down, I can still kick your butt."

Leshawna cracked her knuckles "I can help."

Duncan blinked at the hostile tone his girlfriend had used against his friend "hey beautiful something wrong?"

She fell silent and looked at him "it's nothing Baby Boy, don't worry about it."

Andrew didn't seem to notice "did you actually run into that monster Chef mentioned?"

The punk sighed "I'm too tired right now, I just wanna go into my bed and collapse."

Andrew nodded and put out a hand "need some help?"

Before Duncan could respond, Leshawna dragged Duncan to his feet "I got this boy."

"Fine."

The two started to walk towards the cabin with Duncan frowning "what's up? Andrew do something to you or what?"

Leshawna looked at him "listen, I know Andrew's your friend, but he's not what he seems."

"Say what?" Duncan furrowed his unibrow.

"I think he likes Heather." Leshawna explained.

The punk just scoffed "yeah right, Andrew's a smart guy. No way would he fall for a high maintenance chick like her."

"Baby Boy.."

Duncan waved her off "relax, he doesn't, trust me. No sane guy would actually like someone like Heather."


(A few hours later, outside Cabins)

Trent was frowning as he exited the Boy's Cabin. No one had seen Gwen anywhere since the challenge ended and Trent was starting to worry. He began to worry about her personal safety after Courtney's unusual reaction. He had searched the Hall, woods, Cabins, and Washrooms with no sign of her.

He was walking back towards the Hall when he came across Duncan juggling his switchblade. The punk nodded "hey Elvis."

"Duncan, have you seen Gwen?" Trent asked, wondering if the punk had talked to her at all after the hike.

"Beats me." Duncan shrugged "I haven't seen her for hours."

Trent sighed "I hope she's not in any trouble."

The pair fell silent only to hear a muttering from behind the Mess Hall. Duncan looked over at the sound "what's that?"

"It's from behind the building."

Duncan groaned "oh crud, I hope that thing hasn't come back. I'm outta Twinkies."

Trent chuckled and walked quietly to the back of the Hall. He tiptoed at hearing now audible voices. he frowned as he heard Courtney's voice "...worry about it."

"Seriously?" Gwen's voice said. Trent noticed Duncan next to him and the two wondered what was going on. They looked around the corner to see Gwen, Courtney, and Heather talking to each other.

Trent gasped 'what's she doing with them?'

Courtney still looked eerie, but waved off Gwen "I said don't worry about it. I guess I overreacted a little and needed a kick in the pants. Come to think of it, it's like a blessing in disguise."

Heather sat on the dumpster and scoffed "well, I have immunity and I'm not voting so this is between you two."

Courtney nodded and looked to Gwen "so your gonna convince Trent to vote off Geoff with us correct?"

Duncan gasped to himself 'the hell?' He wanted to charge in there to ask what the hell was going on, but Trent held him back, shaking his head.

Gwen looked down "look, maybe we should focus on someone else...like...um."

"Me?" Courtney calmly offered. At Gwen's silence, Courtney tsked to herself "you know, out of the goodness of my heart I decided not to send the info out to my Daddy's newspapers after you slapped me. But maybe I should."

"WAIT?" Gwen desperatly cried out.

Heather stepped next to her "look Gwen, Courtney, you two should probably get rid of Duncan, he's a bigger threat to us than Geoff is."

Duncan's eyes widened while Trent was stunned 'Heather called Gwen Gwen and not Weird Goth Girl?'

Courtney sneered "no. This is the final piece of retribution for the Mouthy Surfer Bitch having the audacity to mouth off at me. Saying I shouldn't be here. Who the fuck does she think she is? Let's see how she likes having her boyfriend voted off."

Gwen and Heather nodded, one looking upset while one crossed her arms, looking distractedly at the PDA.

Courtney noticed this and remembered last time they met when Heather actually grabbed her. It took everything she had not to attack the prima donna on the spot, but knew she needed alliance members. So she decided to say "Heather, you look ready to say something."

"Can I use the PDA? I have to call home about something."

The CIT raised an eyebrow "why? Is your father back from his trip?"

Heather remembered what she had said about her father being on a business trip, but she actually lied. Her father was still home, but Courtney didn't need to know that "look, it's personal alright? Can I use it?"

Courtney smirked "nope. It's mine and I earned it."

"No you didn't. You had everything handed to you like perks, your own cabin, and that thing." Heather casually said, causing Gwen to back up.

"Be careful Heather." Courtney began threateningly "if you play with fire, you'll get burned."

The queen bee smirked "you need me, remember?"

"Yes, but your still not getting this." Courtney raised the PDA "look vote for Geoff like a good alliance member, Gwen, and I'll forget what happened today. If not, Michael will need a plastic surgeon just to."

Heather cut her off with a wave of the hand "fine she get's it already. Sheesh, I like to toot my horn myself, but at least I know when to stop."

Trent's jaw dropped 'did she just stand up Gwen?'

Courtney put a minuscule amount of distance between her index finger and thumb "your this close to pushing me over the edge."

Heather saw this and looked in Courtney's eyes. After a silent minute passed between the two, Heather smirked wickedly "noted. Goodnight."

The CIT's eyes narrowed and walked off, going to Campfire Pit for the vote off.

Duncan and Trent, who were still watching, saw Heather looked at Gwen "something happen between you and Duncan? You don't seem to hate him right now."

Gwen scoffed "why should I tell you?"

"Point." Heather shrugged, but as she started to walk off Gwen called out "hey."

The queen bee looked at her frustratedly "what?"

Gwen paused for a second until reluctantly saying "thanks for the save."

Heather scoffed "save? I just didn't wanna listen to the Brat go on and on and on to give me a headache." She stopped momentarily, but nodded curtly "but the thanks are appreciated." The queen bee walked in Courtney's direction, leaving the Goth to herself.

Gwen shook in rage 'dammit, this should have been easy. Get Duncan off the island and away from Leshawna. Why did Duncan have to lay 'hero' and lure that thing away. Granted it was harmless, but we didn't know that at the time.'

Trent walked from behind her, a confused look on his face "what was that?"

Gwen yelped and she turned to see her boyfriend and Duncan behind her, both looking stumped.

Duncan started "man Sunshine, you don't have a good sense of your surroundings do you?"

"No, no, no." Gwen said desperately, clutching at Trent "Trent listen, I don't have a choice, you gotta understand."

Trent wrapped his arms around her, leaving Duncan to feel a bit awkward "hey it's okay. We heard everything." He remembered what Courtney had said "is Courtney blackmailing you?"

Gwen's body shook, but she tearfully nodded.

Duncan groaned "aw crap, she probably has Micheal's record and threatened to send it to some people right?"

Trent let go of Gwen, who nodded "yeah, if I don't help her stay here or I help vote her off, she'll destroy Micahel's rep. Even if you guy's voted for Courtney and I didn't have anything to do with it, she'll probably send it out of pure spite."

Trent looked troubled "we should tell someone."

"If we do, Courtney threatened to have her Dad get rid of anyone we tell."

Duncan growled "that's so unfair!"

Gwen looked down "as long as she wins and 'punishes' those who she thinks humiliated her, she doesn't care."

"She voted off Jessie." Trent stated more than ask and sighed seeing Gwen's nod.

The three fell silent until Duncan looked at her. He couldn't help but ask "so you don't hate me now?"

The Goth was silent, not knowing what to think. She was so convinced he was a creep, but helping out Geoff and risking his life against a supposed 'dangerous' animal, helped make her think.

Duncan continued "it was the Daddy's girl who shot me in the back of the head during the Dead Rising challenge right?"

Gwen nodded.

Duncan looked down for a moment. It seemed she still thought badly of him, at least a little. Then he was hit with an idea and he grinned "cause if you think I'm still not right for Leshawna, I think I have an idea that could change your mind about me."


(Woods)

As she walked, Heather ran up to Courtney "looks it's only for a couple of minutes."

"NO!" Courtney barked.

Heather scowled "FINE!" She wanted to walk off but stopped "I have to ask you something."

Courtney narrowed her eyes suspiciously, but nodded.

"Why didn't you at least slug Gwen when she slapped you?"

Courtney shrugged "thought about it. Then I had a better idea. Once again, out of my kindness, I was gonna drop the idea when she served her purpose."

"And?" Heather couldn't help but ask, getting a bad feeling.

The CIT smiled malevolently "not right now since she's still an alliance member, but when I."

"We."

Courtney smirked "oh yes, we. When WE win this competition, I'm gonna have Daddy buy her house and have her family thrown into the street."

Heather paled "what?"

"Oh yes, their profile said they barley have enough money for bills so they cannot afford another house. They'll be homeless and miserable for the rest of their lives, the kids will drop out of school cause the mother can't support them and...I'll release the information on Michael, destroying his and his family's reputation so they can't get jobs."

Heather blinked "your gonna release it anyway?"

"Yes." Courtney said matter of factly "I am a Mann. My family's bloodline is descended to family of royals in England. I should be treated with respect and that GOTH peasent SLAPPED me. She is gonna learn if you cross Courtney Mann, you and your family suffer."

Heather turned around "OK, just checking."

She walked off with Courtney still looking at the PDA.

'She's insane.'

'She's so mean. Heathie, you wouldn't do that would you?'

'No, I'd just punch them, not destroy their lives.' After some time, she had come to accept the voice and decided that if she was going crazy, she'd at least do so on her terms.

'But Gwen seems really nice and she did say thank you.'

Yeah...she did.'

'So what are you going to do now?'

Heather was silent.

'Heathie?'


(Half-hour later, Campfire Pit)

The two immune groups sat on the sidelines as Group 3 was on the stumps. Bridgette and Leshawna were looking worried at their respective boyfriends while the others had their fingers crossed.

Chef barked out "MAGGOTS! Hopefully you learned something today."

"I know what I learned." Jake called out "never get between a Sasquatchinakwa and a Twinkie."

"NO!"

"Is it, never ever EVER challenge Izzy?" Andrew offered, causing Izzy to grin proudly.

"NO! Although that one's true, you learned to survive being lost and what to do when an animal attacks. Just feed it Twinkies." Chef said, then looked at the Group.

"Dirtbags!" Courtney raised her PDA "and Courtney." Courtney smirked as she put it away "cause you lost, one of you maggots are gonna go! So the one's staying shall be...

..."GOTH!" Chef threw a marshmallow at a sullen looking Gwen...

...

...

...

...

...

...

..."MUSIC MAN!" Chef hurled at Trent, who had to jump to catch it...

...

...

...

...

...

..."COURTNEY!"

"WHAT!" Was the outcry of several campers as Courtney caught hers. She grinned smugly and popped it in her mouth, waving mockingly at one certain camper, whose form shuddered, her blond hair standing on end.

Her and Leshawna looked horrified at the outcome.

"DIRTBAGS!" Chef grinned maliciously at the two, one looking frightened and the other glaring at Chef "the last one who is staying while the other leaves in humiliation! IS...

..."PARTY MAN!"

Geoff gasped.

Courtney was dumbstruck for the second time in a row.

Leshawna looked horrified.

Andrew, Ezekiel, and Jake looked saddened.

Gwen was unreadable.

Duncan smirked inwardly 'perfect.'

The punk decided to act out his part by nodding in acceptance "good! get me the hell off this insane place! Thanks for voting for me Geoff."

Geoff nodded sadly "yeah bro, sorry."

Courtney's eye twitched "what? Your not upset?"

"HELL NO!" Duncan snapped, making sure he looked a little joyful "since I've arrived I've been slashed, kicked, shocked, cornered by wolves, shot in the back of the head, slammed, faced my fears, and CHASED BY A DAMN MONKEY THING! So I had Geoff, Sunshine, and Elvis vote for me. Hell, I voted for myself! Get me back to Juvie for all I care! At least from convicts you know what to expect!"

Courtney's eye twitched again as Duncan came up to Leshawna "sorry beautiful, I can't handle this place anymore."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"Uh...this is my way?" Duncan added sheepishly.

Leshawna sighed "sure thing Baby Boy." She kissed him on the cheek, but he pulled away.

"That's not the kiss I wanted." He then kissed her on the lips so passionatly that she fainted a minute later. He then grinned proudly "oh I still got it."

Gwen walked up to him and stared for a moment. The two looked at each other silently until Duncan put out a hand "truce?"

The Goth silently stared at him and decided to grab it "fine truce." But with Courtney watching, she decided to add, pulling him in "but so help me if you hurt her..."

"Yeah I get it." Duncan rolled his eyes.

He said goodbye to the others and saw his brother, who was smirking.

"What are you smirking about?"

"Just can't believe you actually have a girlfriend." Graydon joked.

"Your just jealous mine lasted longer than yours did." Duncan grinned.

Graydon scowled and punched him on the arm "shut up."

Duncan smirked "love you too bro." He then walked down the Dock with a smirk.

The others started to leave as Courtney stomped through them as a certain camper bumped into her.

"WATCH IT!" The CIT snarled as she stormed off, angered Geoff was still here and the Mouthy Bitch still had her boyfriend.

The camper looked down and smirked at the PDA they got from the CIT when they bumped into her "bingo."


(CONFESSIONAL CAM)

Courtney- (looking unhappy, yet compliant) Although angered, I still call this a win. Duncan was a threat now that I think about it and he could have proved troublesome down the road. Still, the Mouthy Bitch still has her boyfriend (scowls) I'll fix that. (She reached into her pocket and felt nothing. She blinked) Where's my PDA?

Izzy- THIS WAS SO COOL! I was one with my inner animal and I was able to embrace it! Still, that Sasquatchinakwa was pretty strong. Maybe I can give him a rematch.

Ezekiel- I think this challenge was fun until the end eh. I just wished Leshawna wouldn't have blown up at Andrew, he's a nice guy eh.

Leshawna- (sighs) Guess my Baby Boy cracked under all this. At least I know where he lives. (narrows eyes) Besides, I still have to win this thing and make a certain someone pay...or make that two someones.

Harold- I believe I have found out who voted for m'lady, but I'll have to be sneaky. I swear you shall be avenged my beloved Jessie.


(Dock of Shame)

The plan worked perfectly. Courntey thought he told the others to vote him off, which he did, but not for the reasons he gave or at least not the entirety of the reasons. Geoff was one of the best friends he had ever had and there was no chance in hell he was gonna let him get the boot. Hopefully, the others would find a way to take her down. His former Juvie Roomate's Dad was a lawyer so hopefully he could convince his to sue Carter Mann for what he was doing by manipulating event to make sure his 'Princess' won.

'Worked like a charm. I get to leave and Geoff gets to stay. Still being without Leshawna is gonna be a bummer.' He thought as he got in and the Boat drove off.

Duncan then saw a head rise through the bottom of the boat and he gasped. The Sasquatchinakwa WAS HERE!

"AAAAAH!"

The creature took off it's head to reveal a returning Chris grinning at him "HA HA! Gotcha dude!"

Duncan snarled at the joke, but then smirked wickedly as he stood up and cracked his knuckles "since I'm eliminated, I guess you don't have to threaten to vote me off right?"

"Uh yeah?" Chris asked in worry.

"COME HERE!" Duncan lunged forward.

"NOT THE FACE!"


(Beach)

Heather sat on the sand in frustration, not having any clue what was going on at home. She also wondered about Courtney's plans for Gwen if she won. As the tides swept against her bare feet, she sighed in content. She had loved the beach when she was younger, always begging to come here since it was only 3 miles from the house. But...she stopped coming since she was 8 when her Father dropped her off and left without her, leaving her to walk 3 miles back to the house on bare feet, saying it would 'build character.'

She looked at the scars at the bottom of her feet, hidden by her sandals. Seeing them made her worry more about home.

SLAM! Something had just been thrown at the back of her head.

"OW! Who threw..." She stopped to see the PDA on the ground. Heather gasped and picked it up.

"HELLO?" She called out into the woods.

No one called back.

"Whoever you are, thank you." Heather gratefully said as she rapidly dialed down her home number. she held it to her ear "c'mon pick up..."

"Hello?"

Heather choked hearing the voice, not believing what she was hearing.

"Is anyone there?"

"Mom?"


(Woods)

On a branch in a steady tree, the camper stared at this and replied "your welcome."

They brushed back their dyed hair and pulled out their sketchbook and started a new work.

"Think I'll call this one...'The Heart of a Queenie.'


DONE!

Wow, what a coincidence huh? The same challenge where Duncan is voted off in canon is when he is voted off here. Hope I threw a curve ball in who was going to show surprise. Anyway, exams are coming up so expect this is my last one for at least a week.

Sorry to any who wanted to hear the phone call conversation. You'll have to wait.

Voted off list (in order)- Courtney, Justin, Sadie, Owen, Tyler, DJ, Marcus, Katie, Beth, Izzy, Sara, Jake, Eva, Noah, Lindsay, Jessie, Cody, Duncan.

As for tradition, HERE ARE THE QUESTIONS!

What did Heather say to her family?

Will Trent be able to help Gwen without Courtney knowing?

Will Leshawna anger towards Andrew grow?

Will there be actions towards Carter now that Duncan has been told of what is going on?

Find out soon on TOTAL...ALTERNATE...ISLAND!
