Total Drama: Welcome to Horrorville

Episode 10: Mr. Straw

Allison was alone in her room, as she was in a meditative position. She wanted to look at something that really felt off putting about a camper. She wanted to check it out, so she closed her eyes.

Allison was back in the black room again and she didn't see any blots this time around. But she knew she was going to see more soon. She looked around a bit more, than started to speak.

"If you can hear me at all, I want you to help me. Can you let me see Lucille's vote?"

Nothing seemed to happen at first, but then a blot came into view. But what seemed to be weird was that it was colored purple. She didn't know what that mean, but she wanted to look to see what was going on. She touched the blot, and she was transported to the basement. She looked inside and saw Lucille there smiling a bit.

"I'm doing the same thing Draken is doing and voting for Robin."

Allison was confused. Sure, it was possible that Lucille came to the conclusion that Robin was the weakest part of the team, but usually she would of voted with her, since she was working and hanging out with her, Adrian and the others. So, she decided to get out of the blot, and she went back into the room. She knows was wondering why Draken was so keen about trying to interact and vote for Robin as well.

"Room, can I look at Draken's vote as well?"

She was given another blot, which was also purple. She touched it as well, and she was sent back into the basement. She saw Draken, who had a more skeptical look on his face, which was him. But what he said next really floored Allison

"Look, even though I want to vote for Colleen's enemy Allison, I had to go with what Colleen wanted and vote out Robin. She told us that we would have a better chance to eliminate Allison if Robin was out of the picture. So, I'm doing that now."

Allison was shocked. Colleen had somehow found a way to pull Draken and Lucille to her side. She didn't know how many more people were stuck in this sort of spell. But she was going to have to tell the others what she found. She closed her eyes again.

She was back in the real world, and she was looking around. She got up out of her chair and she went to Adrian's room. She knocked on the door, and Adrian opened it.

"Allison, is something wrong?"

"Yes, we have a huge problem."

Lucille, Draken, Sebastian, and Ringo were discussing something very important.

"So, do you think we should continue to hang around the others?" Asked Lucille.

"Yeah, if you would want to, I think it would be a safe bet. You don't want to cause any sort of suspicion." Draken stated.

"So you want us to spy basically? Shouldn't be too hard." Sebastian said.

Ringo didn't know what to think about this. Sure, there was the fact that he wanted to keep Colleen in, but why should they go after Allison and the others when they really didn't do anything wrong? That's what really confused him. Lucille was also skeptical on why she was trying to go for Allison, when she really didn't deserve to go. Roxie and Carson were busy sitting at the park bench, with Carson in a bummed out mood.

"Dude, the fuck is the matter?" Roxie asked.

"It's about Robin. I feel like it was my fault that she was eliminated and all." Carson stated.

"You don't have to fucking say that. She did that shit to herself, and let the thought of us talking together get to her head."

Carson nodded a little bit.

"Still, she was one of the first friends I made on this show. It's terrible to watch her…you know…implode like that."

Roxie then calmed down a bit after that.

"Yeah, I get that feeling."

Both of them sat in silence for the next couple of seconds.

"You know, I think I'm starting to like this."

Roxie was confused.

"You mean sitting here?"

"No, I mean, hanging out with you. It's kind of broadening my horizons a bit."

Roxie turned pink in the face a bit. She was very grateful that Carson of all people actually liked to hang around her. She didn't know if that was a good thing or a bad thing yet. Allen in the meantime was talking to the host Richard, as he was trying to convince him to make him and Scarlett have their own room.

"Come on, it isn't that big of a deal. Just let us have a house of our own so we can…you know, hang out there."

"Allen that would be a great idea if there was an empty house, which there are none."

"Well, then can you please give me one of the old houses from where the first teams started. That could work right?"

"Well…sure, why not."

Allen and Scarlett were ecstatic to hear that, and Scarlett hopped into Allen's arms as they made their way to the old house that Allen used to live in. Kris was busy talking to Hubbie, who both seemed to be tired from the challenge that happened two days ago.

"So, was that challenge real or not?" Kris asked.

"I think it was fake." Hubbie said.

Talia, who was sitting next to Kris, had other ideas to say.

"Wait Kris, if that alien thing was fake, how was that pink haired girl hanging around Allen than?"

Kris repeated what Talia said to Hubbie.

"I have a crazy idea. I don't know if it's true but…I think this entire town it a simulation."

Kris and Talia were floored by this.

"Wait, so your saying that everything that is happening to us…is fake?"

"That's just what I think. It probably isn't true, but that's just what I think."

Kris was very interested in what Hubbie said, but it didn't seem likely that it was really true. Hubbie was thinking about what he found. The purple shard that he found was really particular, and he wanted to find the other shards, so that he could complete the orb. He just didn't know where to find the other nine shards. He would have to keep looking around for them.

Maria was trying to call Colleen, to ask her how it was going with the potion she gave her, but she wasn't answering. She didn't really expect much, since Colleen was always the one calling her. It's almost as if she didn't really care about her as a person or something. She felt like she was creating a monster more than anything else.

"Damnit, why is it always the crazy ones." Maria stated.

The siren ran out in the town, which meant the campers needed to meet in the park. Richard and Kathy were already there, but Kathy seemed nervous. Richard, noticing her attitude, started to question her.

"What's the matter?" Richard asked.

Kathy was silent for a bit, before she spilled the beans.

"I can't stay here any longer. The company needs me back, and as the boss I need to stay in charge. I'll call you to see how everything is going, but after this challenge, I have to go." Kathy stated.

"Don't worry, I understand. I'll make sure that I keep the same attitude when I get back."

"Actually, I think I like you better as a host. You seem like a really nice guy, and are trying to, you know, not trying to kill the campers like at the beginning."

"Yeah, I think I went a little overboard, and I want to keep the pressure off of Uri and Daisy."

Kathy nodded, and was happy that Richard was starting to come into his own. They both stopped talking as the campers were now forming, with Richard looking at the others with interest. The Demons still had all their members left, but they were all looking at each other with non-trusting eyes. The Ghouls had only lost one member based on injuries, but most of them seemed content with each other, and with Adrian there leader back, they looked like the strongest team out of them all. And then, there were the Sirens, the new team that didn't seem to like each other at all, with them giving each other death glares. Richard thought the next challenge was going to determine where these teams were going to end up.

"Alright guys, I need to let you know something. You guys will be going to a farm later, more or less in the afternoon, and there, you will have to do the chores there for the next eight hours. You will get a list when you get there. But, if you don't complete the chores by the time's end, then you guys will be up for elimination. You guys will get on the bus at noon, because the drive to the farm is around two hours, so you will need some items in order to…you know, not get bored and such." Richard explained.

Most of the campers were not entertained by the fact that they had to do chores, and it really wasn't interesting to everyone else. But, they thought that Richard was beginning to run out of ideas. Most people checked the time on their phone, and they saw that it was ten AM. So, that meant they had two hours to do whatever. Hubbie, Allison, Adrian, Kris, Lucille, and Sebastian got together, since they wanted to try and find Lilly in the museum.

"Hey, let's take the minivan. We can check out the museum." Sebastian said.

"Yeah, and they we can find Lilly together." Lucille said.

"Actually…Lucille, you can't come with us." Adrian said.

Both Sebastian and Lucille were shocked and surprised.

"Wait, what? What are you talking about, I'm your ally, and were supposed to stick together." Lucille stated.

"Yeah, what's the reason for not wanting to let Lucille come?" Sebastian stated angrily.

"Sebastian, she's not coming because we didn't change out mind about her. It's just that were just…a little suspicious of her activities." Allison stated.

Lucille was shocked that she found out, since she said that in private. Sebastian was enraged.

"Fine, if she can't come, then I won't come either." Sebastian stated.

Hubbie and Kris were confused with why Sebastian didn't want to come either; maybe they thought it was denial. Allison and Adrian were both pretty suspicious on what Sebastian was doing; thinking to themselves that Sebastian was also under the influence of Colleen. They couldn't figure that out until they asked more questions about them.

"Look, all were saying is that we have to ask more questions about what Lucille has been doing over the past few days. We'll do that once we finished up at the museum." Allison said.

Sebastian was very upset at Adrian and Allison that they were not bringing him and Lucille along. Lucille on the other hand was starting to wonder if hanging around Colleen was actually a good thing. I mean, Colleen did technically drugged Adrian, and she did also screw him a bunch of times without his permission. So why was she still trying to stick with Colleen? She didn't know why, and it was starting to kill her on the inside. Hubbie, Kris, Allison, and Adrian left them, and walked to the parked minivan that was in the driveway. Hubbie then saw another vehicle parked in the driveway next to them, and it was a four person car, specifically a Porsche. Hubbie was drooling based off of how it was designed, it looked powerful and fast.

"You guys go on ahead; I think I'm going to drive the red Porsche." Hubbie stated.

"Really? Driving a Porsche in town? That's really bold." Adrian stated.

"Dude, it will be fine. I'm going to head to the Museum anyways. I'll probably get there before you guys."

"Just be careful alright. Can't have you crashing or anything like that."

Hubbie nodded, and made his way inside the red Porsche. It had a stick shift, which Hubbie liked since he felt more in control when he was driving like that. He also loved the inside, since it was mostly brownish leather, which made the car feel more authentic. And when Hubbie felt the wheels of the car, he felt like he was at home, doing his usual stuff. Home. How Hubbie had almost forgotten about it since he's been here for the past couple of months. He didn't know when he was getting back, but he hoped that he was doing his family proud by being here. He started using the stick shift, and he got out of the driveway slowly. He started to pick up speed in the town, and for a little bit, he kept it at around twenty to thirty miles per hours. But, when he finally hit the highway, he kicked it up a notch. He turned it into second gear, then third, and fourth gear. He was now hitting almost eighty miles per hour now, and Hubbie was feeling a lot of adrenalin rushing through his body. He wanted to go faster, and he hit the gear another length, and now he was blazing through the highway, going almost 100 miles per hour. He knew he should stop, but he was enjoying himself. He never had driven something this powerful in his life, and he was getting the best thing right now. He then noticed a large sign that pointed to the museum, so he turned back the gears so he could get in the lane. He did so successfully, and after a couple more turns, he finally found his way to the museum. He parked in the parking lot, and he put the keys that he had in his pocket. He wished he could have come out like a badass or something, but he didn't have anything awesome as a leather jacket or anything. So, he sat next to the red Porsche, waiting for the others to arrive.

"I didn't realize you were in those types of cars."

Hubbie turned to the left and saw Venus standing right next to him. Hubbie saw that she was wearing a blue t-shirt with a black overcoat. She was also wearing blue jeans and some red sneakers. Venus had her usual blank stare, and Hubbie didn't really mind. He just wishes she would show some emotions some time.

"Yeah, I kind of do. I mean, it's the one I like to work on the most." Hubbie stated.

"Understandable. It does have a bigger engine, and more parts than usual cars."

Hubbie smiled a bit, liking that she knew a bit about cars. Then he wondered something.

"Wait a minute; I thought someone was looking for you. Aren't you supposed to be in hiding or something?"

"This is a safe spot. They can't touch me here. So, I can walk around freely around here."

"That's good to hear. It makes it you feel more free."

Venus continued to look down, but Hubbie noticed that she liked the word free.

"So, I take it you're here to look for Lilly right?"

Hubbie nodded his head, wondering where this was going.

"Well, I actually know where she is. But, here's the issue. I'm only allowed to bring one person in. So, none of your friends can see her."

Hubbie was trying to think of what to do. On one hand, he could decline the offer and find Lilly with the others. But, this might be the best chance that he had of seeing Lilly and getting info about the place William lived. So, he took the shot.

"Okay, I'll go in with you. Just let me get the journal from Allison and then I'll come in with you."

"Try not to take too long. She doesn't really like to be kept waiting."

Hubbie nodded, and took out his phone to call Allison, but then he noticed the minivan pulling up into the driveway, and he put his phone back in his pocket. He looked back to where Venus was supposed to be, but she had vanished. Hubbie was starting to wonder if this was a trend or not. He saw Kris, Allison and Adrian get out of the minivan, and he walked up to the three of them.

"Hubbie, are you okay?" Allison asked.

"Yes, I am." Hubbie paused for a bit. "Allison, do you mind if I hold onto the journal?"

Allison looked at him suspiciously.

"Why?"

"Because I figured you be the one to do most of the searching, and since you might want to use your crystal ball thingy, you need both of your hands to work."

Allison thought about it for a bit, and then decided that it was a good idea to try and use the crystal ball to help.

"Okay, but were only going to be here for an hour. Just for an hour."

"Yeah, I got ya."

Allison took out the journal from her bra, and handed it to him. Hubbie was almost a little surprised that she kept it there, but he didn't think about it too much. He got the journal in his hand, and now he needed to go to where Venus wanted to go to. He and the others walked up to the entrance of the museum, and he saw that an exhibit called 'Arachnids: In the Flesh' was opening in a couple of weeks. Those made Kris cringe a bit. Kris really didn't like spiders that much and it really made her freeze up. Kris focused on the front area, where Zara was up at the booth again.

"How many?" Zara asked nonchalantly.

"Four of us." Allison stated.

Zara got through the process of ticketing.

"I got to say, that you are the weirdest group of four that I have ever come into contact with. I mean a car junkie, a gypsy girl, a shy girl, and a guy who looks like he should be president."

The four of them were surprised by the comment, but they got their tickets and continued on their way into the museum. They saw that there were crowds of people now flocking around, since there wasn't really a challenge happening right now.

"Okay, let's see what we can find." Adrian said.

Adrian, Allison and Kris went to look to the left, to see the other exhibits to see what they could find. Hubbie stayed behind, and he looked at the locked up journal in his hand. He didn't know what was inside, but he knew it must be important.

"You ready?" Venus stated from behind.

Hubbie jumped, not liking that she was doing that.

"Yes, I am. And would you please stop appearing out of nowhere. It's really freaking me out."

"Can't be helped I'm afraid."

Hubbie groaned a bit, but he was just complaining a bit. It wasn't that big of a deal to him. So, Venus led the way, as the two of them headed to the restricted area, where employees were supposed to be at. Venus continue pass all the exhibits that were going to be shown soon, and she went to a door that had white outlines, with a grey color to the door. Hubbie didn't know why this was important, as it was just a big door that didn't seem to connect to anything in particular. Venus went to the door and she said words that Hubbie recognized.

"Mors Enim Prope Est" Venus stated.

Hubbie had heard those exact words uttered by Sebastian a couple of weeks ago, when they went into William's place. When Venus said the Latin words, the grey door opened up, and Venus motioned to for Hubbie to follow. Hubbie obliged, and went through the door with Venus. What he saw surprised him. There were a bunch of creatures roaming about, and the environment was essentially a bar. There were various Werewolves, Vampires, all the monsters he could think of. He noticed that Venus was leading him to the front of the bar, where all the drinks were at. Venus and Hubbie took the seats at the bar, and the bartender was a young woman in her early twenties who looked like a cat of sorts, but with blonde fur, some orange hair, and a green vest and white t-shirt with some black jeans and brown shoes.

"VENUS! Welcome back to the club. What can I get you for today?" Asked the woman.

"Am I able to speak with Lilly?" Venus asked.

"Oh, come on you sour puss. Can't you have a drink before you meet her? It will make you feel calmer."

"Cass, you know I'm not supposed to drink yet."

"Geez, you're always so serious about stuff like this."

"I'll try a drink."

Cass turned to find Hubbie, who she had never met before. She had to admit, he was kind of cute, with those eyes of his.

"Venus, who is this guy?" Cass asked.

"It's the person I was talking to you about."

"Oh, you mean Hubbie. The one you have a huge cr-"

Venus gave Cass a death glare, and Cass shut up immediately. So, she turned her attention back on Hubbie.

"So, what will it be Hub?"

Hubbie looked around at the options, and decided to go with the one that seemed the most interesting.

"I'll take the vodka. Hard."

Cass eyes opened a bit at the boldness of Hubbie.

"Holy shit, you really going for that?"

"Yeah, why not. It's not like it's the end of the world or something, so why not give it a shot."

Cass got the vodka, and handed a shot to Hubbie. Venus wasn't reacting to much, and expected him to be knocked out since the vodka drink here was stronger than in the human world. Hubbie took the shot in his hand, and raised it.

"Bottom's up."

Hubbie then drank the vodka, and he set the shot down. To his surprise, it tasted almost like…orange juice? Hubbie was confused a bit, since vodka should be really high on alcohol.

"Are you sure this is vodka?" Hubbie asked.

"Oh course it is, I made sure of it." Cass stated.

"Then why has the vodka been replaced with orange juice?"

Cass looked toward the drinks, and she saw that there was orange juice there instead of vodka.

"That's just a coincidence."

"Or she's not allowed to give out drinks to anyone at the moment."

Cass, Venus, and Hubbie turned toward the voice, and Hubbie saw a middle aged woman, who was around her late fifties, but still looked in shape. She had on some glasses, with a grey sweater, and blue jeans, with some black sneakers.

"Lilly, sorry, I didn't give him any real drinks, just some OJ."

"Ah, so you did trick me."

"Yeah, because I don't want to see you pass out before the conversation has even begun."

"Well…I know. But, I'm technically almost of age."

"By two years." Venus stated.

"Still, that's better than three."

Venus groaned a bit, but Cass was enjoying the dispute a bit. She liked that this guy was pretty bold, and that he actually liked to quip a bit.

"Alright, alright. Enough with the jabber. We need to get to talking a bit now don't we?" Lilly stated.

"Yeah, of course. Sorry about that." Hubbie stated.

"Oh dear boy, don't fret. Nothing to worry about. I just need to know what is going on outside there. It has been a while since…he passed."

Hubbie didn't need to ask what that meant. So, William was dead. He didn't know what had happened to him.

"Did he go peacefully?"

"Yes, he was in his bed surrounded by the ones he cared about. It was his only wish before he passed."

Hubbie was thankful for that. He wasn't murdered or killed in any facet.

"So, I take it you got the tape from William's house am I correct?" Lilly asked.

"Yeah, I did. It asked me to come find you, as you would help."

"Yes, that is right. Go on, ask me whatever you need. I should have most of the answers."

Hubbie looked around the place with all the monsters.

"While the…people are bustling around."

"Oh, my dear no. We will go to my office to talk about it."

Hubbie understood, and Lilly and Hubbie got out of their chairs. Venus followed as well. They walked to the back entrance to the area, and they entered a cozy area, with a desk and two chairs across from it. Venus and Hubbie took the two chairs, while Lilly took the desk.

"Alright, ask away now." Lilly stated.

"Okay. First off, where are we right now?" Hubbie asked.

"You are in the monster realm as we like to call it. It is where monsters like ourselves can live in peace, without the disruption from any of the humans out there who don't really understand us that well. When we go to the human realm, our human forms take effect almost instantly, so that we are hidden in plain sight, and no one can see us."

"Next, when the moon comes up, do the monsters forms evaporate?"

"Yes and no. Yes, because of the werewolves. And no, because no other monster experiences this, so they are fine."

"Sorry, stupid question. Anyways, I wanted to ask you about this."

Hubbie went into his back pocket and pulled out the journal he had. Lilly looked at it with surprise and a ton of emotion.

"My goodness. I haven't seen that in ages."

"Who did it belong to?"

"It belonged to a young girl named Talia Blackthorn. She actually got along really well with young William. It was such a shame when the family perished. No one deserves that, not even with those half breeds."

Hubbie was confused about what Lilly was saying.

"Half breeds? What do you mean?"

"Well, there called half breeds was because Paul Blackthorn was a Sorcerer, and Mary Blackthorn was human. Their kids were the half breeds. And in our culture, we don't really except people who try to integrate and mingle with humans."

Hubbie was now really lost.

"Wait, so you don't allow humans like us to get married to monsters and stuff?"

"That would be correct. We don't do that anymore ever since the Blackthorns all lost their souls to the orb."

The Orb. The thing that Hubbie was trying to find for Venus.

"Anyways, why are you trying to put the orb back together? Didn't the orb suck the souls out of all the Blackthorns?"

"Yes, that is correct. But, Paul tried to control the power himself, but he wasn't strong enough. With other witches and sorcerers around, we can control it easier."

Now, this is where Hubbie was considering asking Lilly about the dark figure he saw in the forest. But, he decided against it. He only saw the figure once, and he hasn't shown up since, so it wasn't really a big deal to him.

"Well, I have some good news. I already found a piece."

Both Lilly and Venus jumped out of their seats.

"Really? I've been out looking for them for the past three decades. How did you find it so easily?"

"Well, that was because the piece was in the place where the challenge was taking place at the time."

"I must say, you did a good job."

"Thanks, I appreciate it."

Hubbie thought about something a little more.

"So, is there a key you can find to open this journal?"

Lilly looked at it for a bit, and saw that it was a pretty small keyhole.

"Yes, I would be able to find it, but I would need to recreate the key in order to reopen that. Just let me get the mold of the inside and I'll let you go."

Hubbie nodded, and he gave the journal to Lilly. She was looking at it with continued fondness, and she left to focus on the mold.

"So, do we just wait for her at the bar?" Hubbie asked.

"I think it would be wiser to stay here. Doesn't attract as much attention."

Hubbie nodded again, and he continued to sit in the chair that he was at. He looked at the clock, and saw that it was around 11:00. He would need to get out of here soon, as to let the others know where he went. He then tried to strike up a conversation.

"Venus, are you like the others around here or-"

"I don't really feel comfortable answering that."

"Sorry, didn't know you were that sensitive about that."

Both of then sat in silence for the next minute or so.

"By the way, did you happen to know what happens when you put the shards together?"

Venus turned away from Hubbie.

"I'm not sure anyone knows. No one around here has ever seen the orb in over a hundred years. But, its powers are believe to be endless, and whoever held the orb would have unlimited power."

Hubbie was now gulping at the fact that the orb that he was trying to construct again was extremely powerful. He did not want to get sucked up by the orb, unlike Talia. He then heard the door open again, and Lilly came through and handed the journal to him.

"I've got the mold, now I just need to recreate that key. It will take me a bit, so why don't you come back tomorrow so we can get this thing opened." Lilly asked.

"Sure, let's do that by tomorrow."

Lilly seemed to except this, and she let Hubbie go. Hubbie walked out of the office, and back into the bustling bar. He then went back to the door to where his allies were, but Venus grabbed his arm, and Hubbie looked at Venus.

"Is something wrong?" Hubbie asked.

"Please…stay safe." Venus said.

"I'll try, but I think the trouble usually finds me first."

Venus scoffed a bit, and she let go of his arm.

"I'll see you again some time."

"Okay."

Hubbie then looked back at the door, and he walked through it. He turned around, and saw that the door had closed on its own again. He groaned, knowing that every time he came back here he would have to say those Latin words over and over again. Hubbie didn't pay attention to it, as he started to walk back into the main area of the museum. Hubbie checked his phone to contact Allison, but he looked at the time on his phone and saw that it was eleven still. That didn't make any sense, since he was in there for the past thirty minutes. Hubbie then took his phone and called Allison.

"Hubbie, is that you?"

"Yeah it's me. Look, I think I found a person who has the key, but they need some time to search for it. We have to come back tomorrow."

"Hubbie, we still have thirty minutes until we leave."

"I know, but if you saw what I saw, you would let her have until the next day to find the key."

Hubbie didn't hear anything on the other end at first as he walked to the front of the museum.

"Fine, we'll come back here tomorrow. But make sure to give me back the journal by the end of it all."

"Okay, just meet me at the front entrance with everyone else. I'll see you then."

Hubbie then hanged up the phone. He knew he couldn't mention anything that just happened with Venus and Lilly, because he didn't think they would be able to handle the situation. He didn't know how long he was going to hold this information, but he wanted to keep it a secret as long as possible.

Meanwhile, Uri had just finished a challenge that he had to do, and he was exhausted. He didn't really feel like working anymore, but he at least knew he was getting paid a lot of money for this crap. Uri then looked at his phone again. He had gotten a message about a month ago that he could not keep in contact with his Candice, who is his girlfriend. Uri was beginning to wonder if this was going to work out, since Candice always seemed to have a job to do, and that she always had something to do. He didn't feel like they were spending quality time with one another, and it was getting to him a lot. Daisy noticed the sour attitude, and came to comfort him.

"Hey, it's okay. You're going to get through this. I think she still cares for you." Daisy said.

"Yeah, but she seems busy all the time. She just focuses on her job, instead of trying to you know…try and be a person. Was everything in the first season all just an act? Was she faking it?" Uri said.

Daisy didn't know how to solve the problems that Uri was experiencing.

"Not like you though. You always seem to have my back whenever I'm down. I really appreciate that a lot."

Daisy and Uri both looked at each other in their eyes for a bit. Then, Daisy leaned in toward Uri, but Uri didn't stop Daisy, and she leaned in and kissed him. Uri actually liked the taste in her mouth, since it tasted like bubblegum. They continued to lock lips for what appeared to be a couple of seconds, before they both stopped. Uri didn't say anything at first, trying to process what had happened.

"Do you want to stay in my room while the challenge is happening?" Uri asked.

Daisy half smiled, as she grabbed Uri's hand, and they both walked toward Uri's room.

Richard was waiting patiently with Kathy at the yellow bus, and they saw most of the campers there, but they didn't have Hubbie, Kris, Allison or Adrian there. It was around 11:55, and Richard was starting to worry. But, he saw a red car and a mini can pull into a driveway, and he saw the four campers that he needed come out, and walk toward the group.

"Where the heck were you guys?" Richard asked the four.

"We were at the museum. Just saw an exhibit that was coming out soon for spiders." Allison said.

Kris shivered again, not liking the fact that she mentioned it. Richard was confused why they went to the museum, but he didn't question them about it.

"Alright campers, time to go to the farm."

Everyone groaned, and they all collectively got in the bus together. Most of the campers sat with each other, with Hubbie, Allison, Adrian, and Kris sitting together, Sebastian and Lucille sitting with each other, Draken and Ringo sitting with Colleen, Carson and Roxie seemingly getting closer. Allen was starting to get lonely, since Richard allowed him to stay with Scarlett, but he couldn't bring her with him to challenges. That sucked for him, but he was hoping that he would get the challenge done quickly, so that he could get back to her.

The ride to the farm took two hours as Richard had predicted, but he was surprised that most of the campers had passed out, since he expected the campers to stay awake. But, the only campers he saw that have stayed awake for the trip were Kris, who was lying awake, and Lucille, who was next to a sleeping Sebastian. Richard didn't think too much on it, and he continued to look to the road. He was only around five minutes now away from the farm.

Lucille was awake, and she was looking around the area to see how everyone was. She noticed that almost everyone was asleep. She couldn't fall asleep because she was nervous about how the challenge was going to go down. She didn't know why, but she was getting the feeling that Richard wasn't telling them the whole truth to the challenge. And that's what scared her the most.

"We're here!"

Everyone woke to the sound of Richard's loud voice, with most of the campers not preferring to wake up to that voice. Allison didn't like the sound of it, but she noticed she woke up around Adrian's shoulder, and she smiled a bit. This is what she imagined happening at the beginning, when she first saw Adrian. Now, she was here, experiencing it in real time. Adrian got up out of his seat, and Allison followed, along with everyone else who was on the bus. As they all got off, everyone got into their respected teams. The Ghouls seemed to be mostly content with their team, as they had a power player in Roxie, a smart player in Carson, A leader in Adrian, and Allen being…Allen

The Demons on the other hand were looking at each other with suspicion, and seemed divided. On one side, there was Ringo, Sebastian and Colleen, who seemed to be together with one another, while Hubbie and Kris were on the other, looking at the other with glaring eyes. Now, the Sirens were reeling. But, Draken seemed confident that they could get the W tonight. Lucille seemed more concerned about what was about to happen. And Allison was worried about what was going to happen if the Sirens lose once again.

"Alright, I'm going to give you guys a sheet, which each has three chores."

Richard handed out three sheets of paper, to each one of the teams. The Ghouls looked at the sheet, and saw three things on them. One, was to clean up the house, the second was to find some sheep that were surrounded by a fence, and finally they were to sheer the sheep.

"Wait, isn't that technically two chores in one?" Asked Roxie.

"Not really. Finding sheep and sheering sheep are two separate things." Carson explained.

"Still, this is a lot of work that we have to do. Why don't we start with the house? That should give us something to do in the meantime." Adrian suggested.

"Whatever. I just hope these chores don't kill me in the process." Allen said.

All four of the Ghouls went to the house to begin the chores in the house. The Demons just got there list, and it told them that they had to pluck the corn, milk the cows in the back, and use a tractor to clean out the field.

"Jeez, this is going to take us forever. Hubbie and Kris, why don't you do it for us?" Colleen asked.

"Colleen, you realize that this is a team based challenge? We all need to work together on this." Hubbie stated.

"Look, I don't think it will matter what happens, we are still going to win this challenge regardless. Isn't that right you two?"

Colleen was looking at Sebastian and Ringo for support.

"Yeah, I mean, it would be kind of funny to find out that the chores didn't really matter in the end." Sebastian stated.

Kris was upset. This wasn't how Sebastian was supposed to act, and she noticed it almost immediately. But she noticed that Ringo seemed to be hesitant about this, and he didn't seem to want to get in on the conversation.

"Colleen, you have to work with them." Richard stated. "Or else your team is automatically up for elimination."

Colleen was furious to find out that she actually had to help her team out. She groaned.

"Fine, I'll work with them." Colleen said.

Richard was satisfied, and he went and stood next to the bus.

"Why don't we start with getting the corn out of the field? It shouldn't be too hard." Kris suggested.

Ringo sighed a bit, happy to be getting to work instead of arguing with one another. They looked to the field that they saw. It was around 500 feet wide, and around 100 feet long. They saw that it was going to take a while. What turned them off even more was the fact that they noticed a really creepy scarecrow in the field. He had a straw hat on, with button for eyes, and he had on blue overalls, with a red button up shirt. Most of them tried to ignore this, as they started to pluck the corn out of the plant. Finally, The Sirens looked at their list, which included feeding the various animals, cleaning the horses, and cleaning the barn.

"These…seem simple enough." Lucille stated.

"Yeah, so I think we can take it easy." Draken stated.

"I don't think so. Shouldn't we do it now so we don't have to worry about it later?" Asked Allison.

"I mean, we should probably focus on the various things, but I think we're going to be fine." Draken said.

Allison wasn't so sure about that. She knew that Draken and Lucille were under the influence of the potion Colleen gave them, so she didn't know if they truly didn't care how the challenge played out or if they were intentionally trying to blow the challenge so they could vote her off.

"Okay, I'll go get the supplies for the animals. You guys wait here while I grab them."

Allison went to the back of the house to find where there was food. Draken and Lucille in the meanwhile started to talk to one another.

"What do you think?" Draken asked.

"About what?" Asked Lucille.

"You know, about throwing the challenge."

"You really want to throw the challenge?"

"Of course, think about it. Colleen absolutely despises Allison, and were together. All we have to do is throw the challenge, and we'll basically send her packing."

"But isn't it kind of wrong to throw a challenge?"

"No one will notice if we actually do the challenge. We just won't put in as much effort in."

Lucille was really starting to question whether throwing a challenge just to eliminate someone was morally right. She didn't get to think about it as she saw Allison coming back with various types of food, which included apples, and various foods for different animals.

"Okay, I found out that there are Cows, Horses, Pigs, and Sheep here on this ranch. I even found a map of the whole ranch. It even gives us the location of where all the animals are."

Draken was shocked that she had found that extremely quickly, while Lucille was glad that Allison was trying to actually win this challenge. They checked the map, and found that the pigs were the closest, as Allison had seen then in the back of the house. Draken was shocked that she had again found the pigs so quickly. He didn't like that she was getting so lucky.

The Demons were working quickly on the gathering the corn, and the group had even finished half the field in the past hour. Colleen wasn't enjoying this that much, as she was trying to focus on getting the corn in a basket that Sebastian had found a while ago. She was starting to wonder whether all of this was worth it, since she didn't know what the point of this was. She had just gotten back to the basket when she began to hear the rustling of the wind. She turned around, and she didn't notice anything. The scarecrow was still there, and the fields seem to be acting normal and all.

"Weird."

Sebastian was stuck in the middle of the field, and he had just been separated from Ringo, and he didn't know where he went. He had a couple of pieces of corn in his arms, and he was trying to find his way back, but he was surprised with how big this field was, and that he had lost his way. He was starting to walk back to where he thought was the end, when he saw the scarecrow front and center. He looked creepier when he was closer up to it. He didn't really want to look at it any longer, so he started walking again to where he thought was the exit. After a minute of walking he found himself…back looking at the scarecrow.

"What in the world?" Sebastian wondered.

He continued to look around to see if he was dreaming. No, he was back with the scarecrow. He ignored it again, and began walking back to where he came from. Once again, after a minute, he was back to where he was. Only this time, the scarecrow had disappeared. Sebastian was now really worried, and was wondering where the thing had gone. He began looking around to see what he could find.

"Rich, this isn't funny anymore. Stop fooling around."

Sebastian then began to hear rustling through the field, and he starting frantically searching for whatever was out there. He then began to hear some footsteps, but he didn't know who they were for. Suddenly, he felt something pierce through his throat, and he starting gurgling blood from his mouth. The object left his throat, and he fell to the ground in pain. Before everything went dark, he noticed the scarecrow walking like a person, and it was holding a pitchfork in its hand. Its expression was that of anger.

Ringo thought he heard gurgling behind him, so he turned around. But, he didn't hear anything else after that. So, he went to where the end of the field, and he got out and put the corn that he had in his hand in the basket. He got a view of the whole field, and was surprised to see that the scarecrow speared to be gone. Maybe it had fallen off due to the winds that were beginning to pick up. Ringo didn't care. He had gotten the corn that he needed, and he saw that they only needed a couple more to finish up. So, he went back into the field to see what he could find.

The Ghouls had just finished up cleaning the house, after around an hour and thirty minutes of constant work. Carson was impressed he lasted through it all, since he was more of a mindful guy then the strong guy. He was breathing really hard, but Allen hit him on the back.

"Come on man, why are you tired already? This is nothing." Allen stated.

"Yeah, it's easy for you because you're strong. I'm not really that strong." Carson said.

"Oh, well it sucks to be you."

Carson groaned again, and Roxie came up to him.

"Was he being a dick again?" Roxie asked.

"Yeah, but it's not a big deal." Carson said.

"Hell yeah it's a big deal, no one is going to insult my fucking friend like that."

Carson was surprised that she considered him a close friend.

"Thanks for the support. But, we should get going. We still have two more jobs left to do."

Roxie agreed, and they both exited the house, but they realized something really quickly when they left the house.

"Hold on, how are we supposed to find the sheep in the first place?" Carson asked.

Roxie looked at Carson, and they both realized that neither of them knew where the sheep were in the first place.

"FUCK!" Roxie screamed.

Allison thought she heard something. She, Lucille and Draken had just finished feeding the sheep that were there, and they were almost done. All they had to feed was the horses, and they could move on to the next task at hand. Right now, they were at the fence with all the sheep. It was about a two mile walk, and it took about thirty minutes to get there and back. So, by the time they had gotten back to the farm house, it will be around four. Allison knew they had another six hours after that to complete the rest of the objectives.

"Alright, let's get going. We don't want to waste any time on completing this." Allison stated.

Draken, getting an idea in his head, started to come up with an idea.

"Why don't you guys go on ahead? I want to stay here in case anything comes and tries to eat the sheep." Draken said.

"Okay, but only for a couple of minutes. Were heading back to feed the horses." Lucille stated.

Draken nodded his head, as he watched Allison and Lucille head back with the food supplies back to the farm. Draken in the meantime, wanted to do something that would cost his team the victory. He wanted to try and sabotage them, and he make mistakes to have them cost the challenge. That would make them more…his thoughts were cut off when he heard something. He looked around, and he didn't see anything at all. The sheep for some reason were starting to make sounds, which caused some concern for Draken. He tried to see where the sound came from, but he was shocked when he saw a bloodied sheep right next to him. It seemed to be cut open, and its guts were strewn about all over.

"Holy crap, what the-"

Draken then heard movement behind me, and he turned around and saw a scarecrow. He smiled sinisterly, and he used the pitchfork that he had in his hands, and pieced it through Draken's head. Draken died instantly, and his body was still standing, with the pitchfork still in his head. The scarecrow knew he was already dead, so he pulled the pitchfork from the now dead Draken, and his body slumped to the ground, and his head was bleeding out on the ground. The scarecrow, happy that its work was done, moved on from where he was to hunt down the remaining campers.

Kris had just gotten out of the corn fields again, and it was around four pm when she checked her phone. She noticed that the light was beginning to go out, but she knew that mostly everyone else was done with the corn. They only had around twenty more corn to grab, and they would be two chores away from being done. Kris wanted to see where the other campers were at, but she didn't know where she could find them. She didn't want to go back in the field to find the others, because she was worried that she would get lost herself. Maybe the others already had the rest of the corn and were on their way back.

"Kris, you shouldn't worry too much. They'll be back eventually."

Kris looked to Talia, as she was looking in her eyes. Kris didn't know what to say.

"Talia, I feel like I'm the weak one on this team. I don't think I'm doing that much to help out. Sure, I'm doing the simple things, and that seems really important. But, I don't think they see me as a threat at all."

"But that's a good thing. You continue to help your team, but they don't see you as a big threat in this game. By the time they realize that you're still in the game, you'll already have a plan to keep yourself in this game."

"But what if I don't come up with anything? What if I still can't do anything?"

"Then that will be totally alright. I like you the way you are."

Kris blushed again, and she kissed Talia back.

"Thanks, I really needed-"

Suddenly, A rope appeared around Kris' throat, and it started to choke her. Kris looked back to see who was doing this, and she saw the scarecrow that was supposed to be on the post walking around, and choking her with a strong rope.

"GUYS, HELP ME!" Kris cried out.

Hubbie heard this right away, and he turned toward the sound, and started running through the corn field to try and help Kris.

"Kris, hold on I'm-"

Hubbie then tripped over something, and he got up to see what tripped him. It turned out to be the dead body of Sebastian, and his body was spilled everywhere.

"OH SHIT!"

Ringo, who heard the scream of started to run to where it came from. He was running through the corn fields for the next minute or so, when he saw Hubbie shocked, and Ringo saw the dead body of Sebastian. Ringo looked at Hubbie with suspicion.

"What happened?" Ringo asked.

"I don't know. I heard Kris scream, and I was trying to get to her…OH SHIT KRIS!"

Hubbie got back to his feet, and was now running again through the fields. Ringo, not knowing what Hubbie meant, followed him. After two minutes of corn hitting them in the face, they finally made it out of the field…only to see a horrific sight.

Ringo was shocked to see that Kris was dead, as noose had been wrapped around her head, and it was tied to the top of the barn, so that her lifeless body was hanging in front for everyone to see. Hubbie didn't know if he was going to throw up based on what he was seeing right now. Now, what Ringo noticed was that everyone was coming to what he and Hubbie were looking at. Allison and Lucille were terrified and distraught with what happened to Kris; Allen was pissed off at the fact that she was dead. Adrian couldn't think straight, as he was still trying to process what he had just seen. Roxie was clenching her fist, and Carson, who was right next to her, was shaking in fear. Colleen on the other hand, didn't see what the big deal was.

"Guys, she's probably fine. Sure, she's dead right now; probably she's in one of these simulation things that Richard told us about." Colleen stated.

"Yeah, but that doesn't make it any less better for the rest of us." Carson stated.

"Jeez, I didn't think you guys really took it that seriously. I mean, here, death is just an enigma." Colleen said.

"It still fucking hurts Colleen." Roxie stated.

"So? We're not going to die still."

"Say that to me and Kelsey when you get the chance." Adrian said in an angry tone.

"Jesus, you guys are still upset at me for what I did? That's in the-"

Suddenly, a pitchfork was sent through Colleen's torso, and everyone screamed out in fear with what they just saw. Colleen was still trying to process what just happened, and she looked down to see the pitchfork in her torso. She looked back up again.

"N-not real."

Colleen then collapse to the ground. The other campers who were still alive noticed the barn door open up, and out walked a scarecrow that was grinning at them sinisterly.

"Run!" Adrian cried out.

All of the campers began to scramble about, trying to run away from the scarecrow. While Allison was running, she didn't realize that she had dropped the map of the farm, and that Carson saw the map drop to the ground. He ran for it, and he got it. He then turned around to see the scarecrow looked at him sinisterly, and he threw the pitchfork at him. Carson ducked under the pitchfork, and he ran off back to the house, where he could figure out where this map leads. Once he opened the door to the house and locked the door shut, he moved around the house to see if he could find a flashlight.

"Carson, is that you?"

Carson looked to see whose voice that was, and saw that it was Adrian who was under that table. Carson went over to him, and tried to ask him some questions.

"Adrian, do you have a flashlight."

Adrian didn't answer at first then nodded. He took out a small flashlight, and he shined it on the ground. Carson put the map to it. He noticed that it listed where all the areas were, including where the sheep were at. This was great for Carson.

"Adrian, this is great news." Carson said in a soft whisper.

"Why the hell is this more important thing than a scarecrow trying to kill us?" Adrian asked.

"Because, since we know where the sheep are, we can finish the last two tasks and we can win the challenge. Maybe once were done, then the challenge will end and the scarecrow could go away."

Adrian didn't actually think of that. It would be good to try and get rid of the scarecrow while winning the challenge, which would be really nice to do.

"Okay, but we need to find the sheers first, and were probably going to need more than one flashlight to make this work."

"As long as we get it done before the allotted time, we should be fine."

Carson and Adrian looked out the window of the house to see if the scarecrow was out there. They didn't see anything. They then moved through the house as quickly and as quietly as they could, so as to not attract the scarecrow. They looked out back, and saw Allison looking around, trying to find Adrian. She was near the shed, where she was supposed to try and find the cleaning supplies, but she was trying to find Adrian to warn him. She had a bad feeling that something bad was going to happen to him.

"Adrian…where are you?"

She then noticed movement from behind. She turned around and saw the scarecrow looking at her. She was trying to be calm about this, as she didn't want the scarecrow to attack her.

"Look, I don't mean any harm. I'm just trying to find my friend-"

The scarecrow didn't seem to care, as he walked toward Allison quickly, and when she tried to run away, the scarecrow grabbed Allison by the throat, and it began to choke her. She couldn't breathe at all, and she was trying to kick the scarecrow so that it would let her go, but it wasn't budging. Adrian was starting to get worried about Allison and she didn't want to see her die.

"Adrian, what are you doing?" Carson asked.

Adrian got up, and he exited the house, he saw the scarecrow still there, and he ran as fast as he could, and he tackled the scarecrow. Well, he tried to per say. It seemed that the scarecrow didn't budge, and he looked to see Adrian there. So, he took him by the throat as well, and Adrian was trying to catch some breath in his body. But, what made it even worse was that he was watching the girl that he really liked die right in front of him. He tried to wiggle out, but it was no use. He saw Allison take her last breath, and the scarecrow let go of her, as she crumpled to the ground, no life in her eyes.

"Damn…you…bastard." Adrian chocked out.

The scarecrow seemed amused. He started walking while he had Adrian in his hand. Carson saw the two go away, and he took this as his chance to get the supplies he needed to finish this challenge off. So, he went to the shed, and he started looking around. He saw the sheers that he needed, and he grabbed them, and then he looked outside. He noticed it was around four thirty, and he knew it was starting to get pitch black, so he used the flashlight he had to try and look at the map. Once he saw where he needed to go, he started trekking his way to the sheep.

Adrian was breathing, but barely. He didn't know where the scarecrow was going to take him, but he didn't like what he saw in the mouth and eyes. He knew he had something planned. Adrian didn't know how long he was waiting, but they seemed to be walking for the past five minutes. But, what Adrian saw scared the hell out of him. He saw a tractor with a bunch of scythes connected to it. Adrian was now squirming even more, trying to get out of it.

"Please…don't…kill…me."

But the scarecrow didn't listen, as he found the keys stuck in the ignition of the tractor, and he turned the tractor on, as the scythes started to spin around, making a sort of sound of slicing. Adrian was now trying to hit the scarecrow, so that he wouldn't perish. But it was no use. Before Adrian had time to scream, the scarecrow threw him into the scythes, and he was sliced up to oblivion.

Roxie was hiding in the forest with Allen, since she didn't know where Carson and Adrian went. They had both been hiding out here for the past hour, wondering if the scarecrow thingy had gone away at all.

"Do you think its okay to leave? I mean, I think the coast is here." Allen said.

"Honestly, I don't think so. I don't fucking trust that that thing is still out there killing everything in sight." Roxie stated.

"Still, I haven't heard anything in a while. I think we should be good to go."

"No, not a good idea. Not if we want to get ourselves killed."

"Well, I'm-"

Roxie put a hand to Allen's mouth. Allen looked and saw that the scarecrow was moving around, trying to look for anyone around the area. He stood there for the next couple of minutes, trying to wonder if he heard anything. After a while, he decided nothing was about, and decided to continue on his way. Roxie took her hand off of Allen's mouth.

"See what I was fucking talking about?" Roxie said

"Okay, we probably have a problem." Allen said.

Then, both of them heard shuffling on the ground, and they saw Carson was crawling on the ground. Roxie was confused why he was crawling, until she saw the knife that was in his chest. He was bleeding out, and he seemed to be fading pretty quickly. Roxie got out of her spot quickly to try and get him in a comfortable position. He seemed to be spewing blood, but Roxie was more worried about what happened to him.

"Carson? What happened?" Roxie asked.

"It…got me." Carson said.

"Shit, what can I do? I can help right, there's got to be some medication right?"

"Roxie…I'll be...okay. I need…you…to do…something."

Carson took out the sheers, a map, and a flashlight, and handed it to Roxie.

"We…still need to sheer the sheep. Once…that is done…the scarecrow will go away. Just…"

Carson didn't get to finish, as his eyes went blank, as he lay on the ground, with no life inside of him. Roxie was really distraught after this, but she took everything that Carson had given her, and her objective was to complete the objective. Allen came out as well, wondering what the plan was.

"So, are we doing it or not?" Allen asked.

"Yes were fucking doing it! I'm doing it for Carson, and so all of this shit would end." Roxie stated

Allen didn't like this idea of trying to sheer sheep in the dark, but he knew he didn't have a choice. If they didn't do this, all of them will be dead. So, reluctantly, he decided to join up with Roxie, so as to end this nightmare. Allen grabbed the flashlight, while Roxie held onto the sheers and map, as they started to make the trek to the sheep.

Ringo and Hubbie were trying to make their way inside the barn, but it appeared to be locked from the inside.

"Damn it, what so we do?" Ringo asked.

"Let's try the back, see if we can't get in ourselves" Hubbie stated.

Ringo agreed, and he and Hubbie took to the back to see if they could get in. But, they found that to be trouble as well, since this door wasn't opening either. Hubbie and Ringo were both really nervous, since they didn't know how many campers were left alive. So, Ringo did the only thing he could, and knocked on the door.

"Hello, is anyone in there? We just need some help."

Lucille was trying to calm down, as she had heard someone trying to come into the barn. She didn't know who was talking, because she was in the center of the barn trying to just wait it out till the end. She didn't know if it was the scarecrow of not, but she didn't want to take any chances. She was waiting for the noises to go away, but then she heard something that scared the hell out of her.

"Were not trying to hurt you!" Yelled someone.

"OH SHIT!" Someone else yelled.

Lucille then heard a skirmish, with a weapon hitting the door of the barn, and then she heard a slashing sound, and something slumping to the ground. Then she heard silent. She didn't know what had happened, so she came out of her hiding place to see what had happened. The door that she had heard the noise coming from appeared to have a pitchfork coming out of the door. So, she slowly walked up to the door, and she opened the door. She put her hands to her mouth, as she saw Hubbie, with the pitchfork through his stomach, with no life in his eyes.

"AHHH!" Lucille screamed.

Allen and Roxie had just gotten to the sheep, when they heard the scream. Roxie saw that there were around fifty sheep to sheer.

"What do you think?" Roxie asked.

"About what?" Allen stated.

"About helping whoever's in trouble. I think we still have time to save them."

"No way. Were the only ones left on our team. If both of us die, we lose the challenge."

"So you're just going to abandon the person like that?"

"Yes, if it means not losing."

"Fine, then you stay here and sheer the sheep. I'm going to help whoever's out there."

Allen groaned a bit, as he watched Roxie run back to where they came from. Allen reluctantly got into the fenced area with the sheep, as he began to shaving the sheep.

Thirty minutes later…

Lucille was trying to breath, but that wasn't working, since she still couldn't handle the fact that she was seeing the dead body of Hubbie. She didn't who else was with him, but they also must be dead as well. She now realized that mostly everyone else was gone, and that she was going to have to get herself well prepared to fight the scarecrow. She got up out of her fetal position, and started to close the door up. Suddenly, she was pushed back by a strong blow to the door. She was thrown a couple of feet back, and landed hard on her leg. She felt a crack in leg, and she couldn't feel weight on it anymore.

"FUCK!"

Lucille turned to see who the culprit of the injury was, and found out it was the scarecrow. He was smiling sinisterly again, and he walked slowly towards her. Lucille tried to crawl away, but her leg was still in a lot of pain, as she tried to open the front of the barn. But the scarecrow caught up to her, and he dragged her back to a post near the ladder to the top of the barn. He put on top of some chains, and started to move the chains around. After a while, Lucille was completely covered in chains, and she couldn't escape.

"SOMEBODY HELP ME!"

Lucille tried to move out of the chains, but she was still stuck, and the pain in her leg was still terrible. She noticed the scarecrow going to the back to try and find something.

"What the hell are you doing?"

After a couple of seconds of searching, the scarecrow brought out a lawnmower, and he was smiling sinisterly. He started up the lawnmower, and it started whirling. With an incredible amount of strength, the scarecrow picked up the lawnmower by the ends, so that the blades were facing Lucille. He then began moving towards Lucille.

"No, don't you dare. I don't want to die!"

The scarecrow was now a couple of feet away from Lucille, and the sounds were becoming deafening. Someone decided to interrupt this, as they tackled the scarecrow to the ground. This appeared to have to dazed the scarecrow for a bit. The person who had come to the rescue was Roxie, who was shocked to find the scarecrow here, and that Hubbie was hanging by a pitchfork. She then went to where Lucille was, and tried to get her out of the chains, but Lucille cried out in pain again, with her leg.

"Not a good idea. I think he broke my leg." Lucille said.

"Okay, but I need to get you out of here."

Roxie went and grabbed a box, and she placed it right under Lucille so that she could get her out. It took some time, but after a minute of struggling, Roxie finally got her out. Roxie didn't have time to think, as once she got her out the scarecrow was coming back with his pitchfork. Roxie got up to dodge the strike that the scarecrow made. She then got Lucille to her feet, and then she began to race to the front to get out. But what she didn't expect was the scarecrow to have accuracy, since he hit her in the left leg. She cried out in pain, and both she and Lucille crumpled to the ground.

"Shit, he got me to. Lucille, go now before he gets you to."

Lucille nodded, and began to crawl away. Roxie tried to follow her, but the scarecrow pulled out the pitchfork, and slammed it down on her right leg. She cried out again in pain. Then, the scarecrow used the pitch fork on both of her arms. Roxie could only use her head now. But she got something out before the scarecrow slammed it on her head.

"Go fuck yourself you fucking creep."

Lucille heard the end of Roxie, and now she seemed to be the last one remaining, as she tried her best to crawl to the house to protect her. She then heard the whirling of the lawnmower again. She turned around and saw the scarecrow moving toward her again.

"No…No….NOOOOOOO!" Lucille screamed.

The scarecrow place the blades of the lawnmower on her, and it began slicing her up as blood was spilling everywhere, and it was getting on the scarecrows face and body. But after he finished up with Lucille, he didn't seem to have a care in the world.

One hour later…

Allen was starting to get really tired of doing these chores, and he was really glad that he had only one sheep left to sheer, then this would all be over. By now, it was seven PM, and it was completely pitch black. He took the sheers that he had and started to work on the last sheep that he had. He had to be careful, since they were tricky to hold still. He was about halfway done with the last sheep when he heard a sound of footsteps. He knew who it was.

"Shit, come on, come on." Allen told himself.

Allen continued to work with the sheep, but he saw the scarecrow out in the distance beginning to make his way to him. Allen didn't want to rush it or else he might botch the challenge.

"Stay there…please stay there."

The scarecrow was now a couple yards away from Allen, but he didn't have time to do anything before Allen got the last piece of fluff off the sheep.

"I'M DONE! NOW GO AWAY!"

Almost if Allen's words had meaning, the scarecrow suddenly stopped. He didn't do anything for a couple of seconds, before it evaporated into thin air. Allen was relieved that this was over. He started making his way back to the farm, to see if anyone else had survived. While walking for the next thirty minutes, he wondered how Scarlett was doing without him, and how scared the other contestants would be. By the time he got back, all of the campers were back to normal, and most of them were looking like they had just witness something that they didn't want to go through again. Then, he saw Richard get out of the recently pulled up bus.

"Alright guys. You guys did terrible this challenge. I'm sorry, but the Sirens and Demons only really completed one of the required chores which were pretty bad in its own right. The only reason the Ghouls won this challenge was because they were the only ones to get not two, but three chores finished. Now, we need to decide who lost this challenge." Richard explained.

Lucille, whose leg was better, chimed in.

"That shouldn't be too hard. The Demons were the first ones to die. I saw Hubbie and Ringo get killed by the scarecrow."

"Did you both of their bodies?"

Lucille thought about it for a couple of seconds. She knew she saw Hubbie's body, because it was propped up against the door. But Ringo…she didn't remember seeing Ringo's body.

"I saw Hubbie's, but not Ringo's."

"That's because he was the last person to die." Richard stated.

Lucille, Allison and Draken were confused, but Ringo stepped up to tell the others.

"I was with Hubbie near the back of the barn, and we were trying to get in because it was blocked off. Then, I saw the scarecrow coming toward us, and while I was running away, I saw Hubbie getting pierced in the stomach by the scarecrow. I ran to the fields, and I tried to keep moving as long as I could. I think I lasted for about another hour out there before the scarecrow found me. And then, I woke up, and the challenge was over."

The three Sirens couldn't believe what they were hearing. If Ringo was the last one to die then that meant…

"That means that the Sirens have lost again. Wow, you guys went from a team of five, to a team of three, and are now going to be another member short. You guys are going to have to wish for a miracle the next challenge. As for what we'll do with the rest of you, I think it would be interesting to bring you guys along to watch how the elimination goes. Now, everyone on the bus."

All of the campers didn't think twice, and the group went on the bus to try and process what had just happened. Again, conversation began to be stuck up between the various campers. But, Hubbie was the only one processing everything that just happened. It was true that Ringo had seen him getting stabbed through the stomach to the barn door. He just didn't what had occurred after…

90 minutes earlier…

Hubbie and Ringo had just begun to try and open the door. Hubbie saw Ringo getting an idea.

"Hello, is anyone in there? We just need some help."

Hubbie didn't know why he was doing that at first, but then he realized that there could be someone in the barn trying to hide as well. If they opened the door maybe they could help the two of them out. So, he knocked on the door to try and make them hear the two.

"Were not trying to hurt you."

Ringo then noticed something behind him and he saw about a couple yards away the scarecrow that has been stalking the other campers.

"OH SHIT!" Ringo cried out.

Hubbie turned around to see Ringo running towards the fields. He turned back to what frightened Ringo, and he got propped up onto the front door, as the scarecrow's pitchfork stabbed him in the stomach. Now he was trying to stay alive and not to die. But what happened next really surprised him. Suddenly, a couple of knives came out of nowhere to stab the scarecrow in the back. This seemed to anger the scarecrow, and it tried to find the source of the knives. But it couldn't find anything, and then more came piling down onto him. He decided that Hubbie was already a dead man, and decided to run away from the knives. Hubbie didn't know what had happened, and he wanted to know who his savior was. He was greeted to a young woman, who looked surprising similar to a girl he knew in the monster realm. She had on a green colored vest, with a white t-shirt, and some black jeans and brown shoes. What but really made Hubbie interested was the fact that this woman had the same fiery orange hair that he recognized on only one person…

"…Cass?"

The now named Cass nodded her head, with a look of concern on her face. She went up to him and tried to pull it out.

"Wait…" Hubbie said.

Cass was confused.

"What the hell is the matter with you? Don't you want my help?" Cass stated.

"Of…course I do. But…I think it would…look suspicious if…this was taken out." Hubbie said.

Cass thought about it a bit and she knew that he was right.

"Besides…this isn't actually real."

That got Cass' attention.

"What do you mean?" Cass asked.

"I mean…I think this is a simulation that the crew created."

Cass was excited and shocked to hear that the humans had created a bunch of cool new tech that could create such realistic simulations.

"That's dope."

Hubbie chuckled a little bit, but spurted out some blood in the process. Cass tried to cradle him the best she could.

"Hey, I know that Venus is into you and all. But I feel like we could make a cool couple once she gets over you and all."

Hubbie didn't know whether that was an insult or a compliment, but he took it anyways.

"So, she has…phases and such?"

"Yeah, I mean she usually doesn't have many boyfriends, but when she does get close to somebody, it usually only lasts a month or so."

"Wow…that…is short."

Cass almost burst out laughing at the joke.

"Come find me when you can."

Hubbie nodded his head, as Cass kissed Hubbie on the cheek, and she ran and disappeared into the darkness. Once she was gone, all Hubbie saw after that was darkness as well.

Hubbie didn't know what to feel about Cass, although he did like that Cass showed a lot more personality than Venus did. But, he didn't know how strong Venus was in the first place. He didn't know how long he was thinking about it, since the hour had seemed to past, and noticed that almost everyone was asleep. He decided he needed a nap as well, to get his energy back up. Allison and Lucille seemed to be the only ones left awake. So, Allison tried to strike up a conversation.

"I'm sorry I couldn't have done better."

Lucille didn't say anything, but looked towards her direction.

"I know that I'm not one of the strongest here, but I think you need me in the future."

"Allison, why should I help you out? I felt like me and Sebastian were on the outs on your alliance, and that we needed to change so we could feel like we belonged."

"What do you mean?"

"I feel like it's you and Adrian first, then Hubbie and Kris, then were on the bottom of the barrel."

"Lucille, that isn't true at all. I was without Adrian for most of the time, so I leaned on you two to help me out. I felt like you were the ones pulling the weight there. You guys really helped keep the alliance together if I'm being honest."

Lucille was shocked that she thought so highly of her.

"Wait, you really think so?"

"Of course I do. I would be lying if I didn't believe."

Lucille's heart swelled up, and then suddenly some purple aura come out of her body, and she felt very sleepy, so she collapsed next to Allison for support. Allison decided that she was getting tried as well, and let Lucille sit on her lap for support while she slept.

1 hour later…

Most of the campers were awaken by the sound of the stopping bus, as most of the campers were jostled awake.

"Alright guys, you all know where to go. TO THE BASEMENT!" Richard stated.

Everyone didn't really care, as they all followed Richard out of the bus, and into the mansion. They seemed surprised that it seemed to look worse than it was before. But, all they cared about was getting through this elimination. Colleen was positive with who was going home, since she put the potion in both Draken and Lucille, and Allison, her enemy for the love of Adrian, was going to be going soon. Adrian was really worried about Allison, since he didn't know what was going to happen to Allison. Sebastian and Ringo didn't know how the vote was going to go either. Sebastian wanted to see Allison go, but Ringo wanted to see someone else go. He just hoped it wasn't Draken.

Now, everyone gathered in the basement, with the benches for the other two teams, and the chairs were for the members of the Sirens. They sat down, while Richard came to the front of it.

"Sirens…you guys have not been good. Like, at all. You haven't won a single challenge at all, and you're going to be down to two members. At least I'll be positive in saying you're not going to pull a team Victory. Now, this vote seems really critical, since I feel like there were some discussions you probably had with one another while on the bus. Draken, why don't you start off the voting?"

Draken nodded his head, and he got out of his seat to go to the voting booth. After a while, he got out of it, while not having a reaction.

"Allison, you can go next."

Allison breathed a bit, before getting up out of her seat to go to the voting booth. She took a bit in there before moving back to the seat she was in.

"Finally, Lucille."

This is where everyone was looking at her now, with Colleen smiling quite a bit at her. Lucille nervously got out her seat and moved to the voting booth. She was in there for a few minutes, but after a while came out of the voting booth and back to her seat. Richard, satisfied, called on Chino, and with his mask and large frame, came out to intimidate the others.

"Alright guys, I have seen the votes, and I got to say, I'm really surprised with how they turned out."

This only made the other campers look on with nervous intensity, with Allison shaking.

"Okay, out of everyone here, Lucille, you didn't receive any votes. Here is your marshmallow."

Lucille grabbed on to her marshmallow but put it on her lap, to watch to see what would happen.

"Now, were down to Draken and Allison. Draken, the guy who was the de facto leader of the first Demons team, but for some reason decided to relinquish that duty when he was moved to his new team. Neither the less, you are a strong competitor, and one that I didn't expect to see here. Allison, you are the gypsy girl who no one can truly get a read on. I don't have any idea why you carry a crystal ball around, when it doesn't really do anything. Now, you are probably the weakest member of this team based on how you did in the challenges. But, you seem to be likeable enough to make people want to keep you here."

Allison didn't like the way Richard described how she was playing, while Draken didn't really care. He knew he would still be here in the end.

"Now, the person that is eliminated, and will be the ninth person eliminated on this show is…

…

…Draken."

This dropped everyone's jaw. Adrian was relieved that Allison somehow stayed in this game. Hubbie was glad that Allison was still in this game. Kris was excited that she was still in the show. Roxie and Allen were completely floored by this. Carson couldn't believe what he was seeing. It should have been obvious that they should have kept Draken, since he was the strongest member of that team. But, he had a feeling that it was the right thing to do, even though he was against it. Sebastian didn't know what was going on. He thought the plan was to vote out Allison, but obviously Lucille went against them. Colleen was fuming right now. She thought that Lucille was under the potion that she gave her, but clearly that didn't work out the way she intended. Shit was going to go down.

Ringo was probably the most distraught out of the bunch. His friend, the one he first got close to on this show, was now eliminated. Now, he had nobody to go to. No one to talk to when he needed help. Now, he was going to be alone on this show without anyone to pick him up off the ground. While everyone else was trying to process this, Ringo got out of his seat, and went to where Draken was. Draken was confused with what was happening, until Ringo put his head against his chest, and Ringo started crying.

"N-no. You can't l-leave. Y-you're the o-only f-friend I h-have on this s-show." Ringo said in a tearful manner.

Suddenly, a purple aura lifted from Draken's body, and he came clear with what was happening. He saw the crying Ringo and he hugged him and tried to calm him down.

"Ringo, it's okay. I honestly think I deserved it." Draken stated.

Ringo still had tears in his eyes, but he got off his chest, and tried to get the tears out of his eyes.

"Will y-you still hang o-out with me? E-even though I'm c-crying."

Draken looked at him again.

"Ringo, you are one of the nicest people I have ever met. Of course I'll always keep hanging around you. You are the only one who doesn't let all this crap get you down. You keep on trucking even though all of this is going down. And listen, I don't want you to give up even after I'm gone. Keep on fighting until you can't fight anymore. I believe in you man."

Ringo nodded his head. Draken smiled a bit at that. He then felt Chino's hand on his shoulder.

"Sorry Draken, it's time for you to go."

Draken nodded sadly. He looked toward the other campers and gave them a smile.

"Good luck to you all. Hope to see you guys around."

Most of the other campers were starting to tear up. They had really cared for Draken, since he was one of the guys that kept a straight face through all the crap that was happening. Draken saw Colleen, and she had no tears in her eyes. Draken had one more thing to say before he left.

"Colleen, I want to tell you something before I go. I'm going to sue you for the shit you pulled on me, Ringo, Lucille and Sebastian."

Colleen was shocked that he just admitted that she did something to them. She was clenching her fists in anger. This prompted Draken to head to the chamber of death, and he looked one last time at the campers. Then, the door closed on Draken. And he was gone. Most of the other campers didn't say anything for a bit, since they had just lost a formidable camper.

"Colleen, what did Draken mean by the shit you pulled?" Roxie asked suddenly.

Everyone looked to Colleen, and she didn't look at any of them.

"I don't know what you guys are talking about." Colleen stated.

Allison and Adrian knew this was their chance to expose Colleen.

"Colleen, that's a lie and you know it." Allison said suddenly.

"Oh don't even start you bitch."

All the campers looked shocked by her words, as they were really crud and inappropriate.

"I'm going to anyways. You see, I saw in a vision Draken and Lucille voting together, even though they have had no history of ever talking to one another and working together to vote out someone. But, they worked together to vote out Robin, who they wanted to eliminate based on the fact that it would force a tie, and they both wanted to get me out next for Colleen."

All the campers looked toward Colleen again.

"You son of a bitch. You used another potion on the four of those guys." Allen stated.

"SO WHAT! Yes, I used a potion. I felt like I had to, based on the fact that the bitch and my lover were getting close to one another." Colleen angrily stated.

"Colleen, I want the antidote. I don't want to keep following you if you have me under the influence." Ringo stated.

"Well sorry, I don't have it. And the better news is, even if I did have it, I wouldn't give it to you anyways."

"OKAY! I think were done here. Let's get on the bus and go back to the houses. You guys can bicker about this tomorrow."

All of the campers were glaring at Colleen, who didn't really like the stares she was getting.

Meanwhile…

There was a spaceship in the middle of the woods, with it having crash landed. Most of the fires were already put out, but the commander there wanted to see if he could try and leave this deserted area.

"Sergeant Blueberry, do you have visual?" Asked VC.

"Yes, I have sight of the town. It seems to be a couple of miles away." BC stated.

"Hmp." Stated CC

"Yes, we have to walk. There is no choice if we are deserted in these woods. But, as being the only ones left, we have to find civilization." VC said.

"No." A sinister voice stated.

VC, BC, and CC turned around and saw a dark, alluding figure, with a black energy coming off of him. He seemed to be smiling sinisterly.

"You aren't going anywhere."

Votes:

Draken: "I think voting tonight is going to be simple. Allison is all alone, while Lucille is on my side. Even though I need to get rid of Colleen's enemy, I also have the reason to eliminate her because she is the weakest on this team. I just hope Lucille follows my lead."

Allison: "God, I am so scared. I don't know whether Lucille is going to follow through with the plan that I had. I just hope it works out in the end. Anyways, I have to vote for Draken. He is under the influence to Colleen, and he is the strongest member of the team, so it would be harder to go one on one against him in case the Sirens lost again. Please Lucille, I need your help."

Lucille: "This is probably one of the hardest decisions I had to make. There are both positive and negatives for getting rid of either Allison or Draken. The positive, Draken is a very strong person, and he is the one that is keeping this together. Allison on the other hand has the ability to use that crystal ball of hers and possibly see something in the future that could help the team later on. Now, for the negative. Draken is under the influence of Colleen, which is not good at all since she is probably one of the darkest and meanest people I have ever met. Then there's Allison, who is not really that physical of a person, and she seems to die early on in death challenges. I don't know why, but this is hard. Maybe if there was a way to help Draken…no. I need to eliminate him. As long as Draken is still in this game, he can never escape the grasp that is Colleen. Draken, I hope you understand why I had to do this. It's for your own good."

One of the most intense chapters, with one of the most shocking of endings. And now, there is a real problem afloat. Draken leaving was hard. These last twelve campers have had an effect on me over the course of writing this, so trying to eliminate one of them was going to be very hard for me. I decided to go with Draken, since I feel like I've already done enough for his character. And I felt like him going out with a bang and exposing Colleen is the way he wanted to go. Now, what did you think of Draken? When will Colleen leave? Which girl will get Hubbie's heart? How much more will Allison see in the black room? Who is the dark figure? And will the three bagels live to tell another day? See you next time.
