Here we go, an episode where I think I'm going to like the way it turns out. Sorry this took so long, but I have been away for the past three weeks which has limited my chances of writing. So, hopefully this chapter makes up for it.

I don't own Total Drama. It's owned by FreshTV.

The campers are about to get into some sticky situations.

Total Drama: Welcome to Horrorville

Episode 13: Fear the Arachnids

Ringo was stuck sitting in his bed, since he had been looking through the pages of the journal that he had, trying to figure out how the pages were blank. Since the challenge five days ago, Ringo couldn't fathom how the journal was supposed to be readable. Ringo was about to give up with how many attempts he had over this. But, he then thought about what the pages were really made up. He thought it was very weird that the paper that he had turned over felt more firm than usual, and some of the pages appeared to be aging a bit. Ringo then got a crazy idea on what to do. He took the journal that he had, and he found a pan that he could use. He put the journal in the pan, and he took out a lighter. He clicked the side of the lighter for a bit, before the flame lit. Then, he put the lighter toward the journal, and lit it on fire. It was at this moment when Hubbie came through the door, as Ringo had forgotten to lock it up. Hubbie was in shock when he saw the journal being burned.

"Dude, what the hell are you doing?!" Hubbie asked in a frantic manner.

Hubbie went over to grab the journal, but Ringo stopped him, with a sort of gleam in his eyes.

"Look at what its doing."

Hubbie looked at the journal, and he saw that it wasn't burning to a crisp, but it seemed to be peeling off. The journal finally stopped burning, and he saw something that shocked him. The entire journal was made of sliver, and he saw that the front cover that was blank actually contains a title. Hubbie grabbed some mittens that were nearby, and he saw the cover:

My places of life, William Burke

Hubbie couldn't believe what he was seeing. Ringo, who he thought was really innocent, was actually helpful in finding the truth to the journal, which surprised him greatly.

"We should get this to the monster realm." Ringo stated.

"Yes, but I think we're going to have a challenge today. I don't know where, but when we get the chance, we will be able to find out the truth to this. Also, I was thinking of reading this first before we go at it." Hubbie said.

Ringo nodded his head, and they both put the journal on the counter, as they opened the journal to the first page. It was a table of context. They were as followed:

I. My life story

II. The history of the Blackthorns

III. How I got the job

IV. Death of the Blackthorns

V. A new truth

VI. Finding the mill

VII. My end

Ringo and Hubbie were very interested in the journal. It was essentially the telling of the life of William. Ringo wanted to read it now, but Hubbie had another idea.

"I think we should wait. Let's read it with the other monsters." Hubbie said

"You mean Cass, Venus, and Lilly? Yeah, I think that could work." Ringo said.

"But we have to be patient. We can't let the others know about where we are going."

"Yeah, got ya. Need to keep moving forward."

Hubbie put the journal in a safe place, and he and Ringo exited the house that they were in, and they began to make their way to the park. They wanted to get some fresh air after all the chaos that has been happening the past month. They saw that Carson and Roxie were hanging around there. They didn't take any mind to them, and they continued to walk. Roxie and Carson actually were starting to get more comfortable around each other.

"You know, now that I think about it, it's true that most of the anime that I have seen have been more traditionally action based." Carson said.

"Yeah, and I'm more into that harem type thing." Roxie stated.

"I know, but it really doesn't sound that realistic."

"Neither do your anime. Can you imagine that someone would possibly get a harem? I think that would be totally wacky."

Both of them laughed a bit a, and they eased into silence again.

"Roxie…I just wanted to say something." Carson said while his cheeks began to redden.

Roxie was now nervous, wondering what Carson was going to say, but she knew where this was going.

"Go on, don't fucking keep the suspense up." Roxie said nervously.

Carson fidgeted with his hands a bit, before he finally explained what he was nervous about.

"Roxie…I like you a lot."

Roxie breathed a bit.

"Well, I already knew that."

"No, I don't mean like friends. I mean as something…more."

Roxie stood there for the next ten seconds trying to process what she had just heard, and once she figured out what Carson was trying to say, her entire face became red as a tomato.

"Wait…your saying you love me. That you have actually fallen in love with me?"

"That's what I'm saying."

Roxie didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She was actually surprised that Carson was actually into her. She didn't really believe that anyone would fall for her. She was worried that she was being to hard on others based on who she was.

"Carson…I love you too."

This caused Carson to be spell bound, with his heart thumping like crazy.

"The reason I care about you is how you make me feel. You make me feel like myself, that I don't have to pretend to be this hard ass girl who trying to win this competition for all the glory of money. But you found the true me, the one who likes to talk to others, and trying to get to know them more. And I keep cursing because it relives some fucking stress off of me. And you don't mind that I curse as well, and see me for who I am." Roxie said.

Carson and Roxie looked at each other for a couple of seconds, with nervous glances and sweat beginning to pour down Carson face. Then, Carson slowly began to lean in, with Roxie following suit. They inched closer and closer, both of their hearts beginning to race even more now. They were only a few inches apart now, until Carson and Roxie finally connected with each other's lips. They began to kiss one another, feeling each other's mouth to get a taste. Carson could taste a dry mouth, but it had a sort of peppermint sent to it, which made him blush a bit. Roxie felt a sort of hot when she was kissing Carson, and she could taste a sort of lilac to him, which made her quiver a bit. After what seemed like an eternity, they finally unlocked their lips, with both of them breathing really hard.

"Holy shit that was amazing." Carson said.

Roxie was now laughing, as she was not used to Carson cursing at all.

"You actually fucking cussed for once, it's a miracle." Roxie Exclaimed.

Carson was now laughing too, as Carson used his head to lie down on Roxie's lap. While this was happening, Lucille, Kris, and Allison had noticed the two interacting with one another.

"Awe, how cute." Kris said.

"I know it's cute, but something concerns me." Lucille said.

"And what might that be?" Allison asked.

"What if Roxie isn't able to switch Carson over to our side?" Lucille said.

"I know. This vote that's coming up is very important. With Sebastian being eliminated, there are five guys and four girls left. If Carson were to join our side, then we'd have the numbers and be able to vote out who we want." Allison said.

"Which is Allen right?" Kris asked.

"Yes, that's correct Kris. But I don't think Roxie will tell Carson until the very last moment. Besides, I think she is enjoying her time with Carson." Lucille stated.

"Lucille, I know you want to be patient, but I don't know if this is the right thing to do. What if he can't make a decision?" Allison asked.

"Allison. We have to trust that Roxie will get Carson to our side. If we pester him too much, that will definitely be the end of us. We have to wait for Roxie."

Allison didn't like the way Lucille had so much trust in Roxie, but she knew that Lucille knew what she was talking about, and knew that she had to trust her for the sake of her.

Allen was busy talking to Adrian, since he had an idea of who should go next.

"Adrian, I think I have an idea of whose going home this time around." Allen stated

"And who would that be?" Adrian asked loudly.

Adrian and Allen were talking loudly since there seemed to be a festival going on in the city, which was rowdy, so they had to speak loudly in order to hear each other.

"I think we should get rid of Roxie next. She's the biggest threat right now, with her winning a bunch of challenges!"

"Yeah, I think your right about that! But we're going to have to convince Carson to join with us to vote!"

"What are you talking about? Getting Carson will be easy!"

"Allen, you realize that Carson is into Roxie?"

"Doesn't matter. I'll convince him to join us, and there's no way he'll say no!"

Adrian was worried about the way Allen was talking about the vote. He didn't want Allen to screw up their chances of keeping the pact of guys together. But, he hoped Allen knew what he was doing, because just as he was about to say something to him, the loudspeaker went on, with Richard stating that there was a challenge happening soon, and that they would need to meet at the houses. The two of them gathered there belongings and made their way to the houses. What they didn't see was a blue haired girl following the two of them from behind.

What also was happening was the fact that Maria was in the log cabin, and had just gathered some blue dust that will transport her to the monster bar, and she would say the Latin words before she would throw the powder on the ground. But before she could, her boss came into the room looking at her.

"You know what's coming right?" Kathy asked.

"Yes, the trial that is about to happen." Maria stated.

"Don't be nervous, they're probably going to not do much. Probably ban you from the human world for the next year or so. But listen to me: you can still communicate with me with the mirror I gave you. So, you can keep up with the potion I want to create."

"But what will it do once we finish it?"

"I don't know, but I always found it exciting when I don't know what a potion does. It just gets my adrenaline going. Now, off you go to court, and try to keep your emotions in check."

Maria nodded, and as she said the Latin words, she threw down the blue powder in her hands, and she vanishes from sight, leaving only traces of blue powder around. Kathy got to work cleaning up the powder that was left there, wondering if Maria would survive at all.

Richard had the campers all lined up next to the yellow bus that the campers usually took, talking to them about where they were heading.

"Campers, today we will be going to the museum, where the next challenge will be taking place. Everyone on the bus!"

The Campers didn't react, already understanding that a challenge was happening, and it was probably going to wither kill them or torture them with boredom. But when all the campers got into the bus, there seemed to be a rift forming. The guys were together on one end, while the girls were on the other, with Roxie and Carson being in the center. Adrian was a little worried about the position that Carson was in. So, as the bus made its way to the museum, Adrian went over to Carson to give some info.

"Roxie, is it okay if I talk to Carson?" Adrian asked.

Roxie was wondering if Adrian was trying to talk strategy to Carson. But she was thinking about letting Adrian talk to Carson, since she and Carson were a thing. Carson would tell what Adrian was up to right?

"Fine, just try not to take too long." Roxie said

Adrian nodded with a thank you, and he moved Carson to the side.

"Adrian, is something up?" Carson asked.

"Yeah, I wanted to discuss about the vote later tonight." Adrian said.

Carson was wondering where this was going.

"And, you know, I was thinking we should vote out the biggest threat here…I think you know who that is." Adrian explained.

Carson looked into his head to see what Adrian was talking about. Then he realized what Adrian was trying to tell him.

"No…you mean Roxie?" Carson whispered.

"Carson, it's the only logical thing to do. Roxie has been winning almost all of the challenges here; we need to get rid of her as soon as possible. I know you two are close, but you need to think logically and not let your emotions get the better of you. Once she's gone, we can just pick off the rest of the girls here, and it could be an all guys final five." Adrian said.

Carson was thinking about what Adrian was saying, but he would have to think more about it.

"I'll think about it." Carson said.

"Okay, just get back to me before the vote." Adrian said.

Adrian went back to his group, while Carson went back to Roxie. Allison was in the back, trying to get back to the dark room to see what was going to happen, but it was hard since there was a lot of talking going on and the bumpy bus that was keeping her unbalanced. She then was wondering about Adrian. It was a while that she had talked to Adrian, and she wanted to talk to him again before the vote. Finally, after a while, the bus stopped at the museum. Kris was already getting jitters, since she saw spiders on the banner were still there. Lucille noticed this, and tried to comfort Kris.

"Hey, don't worry. If something happens, I got you covered." Lucille said.

But what Lucille didn't know was that Talia had said something similar to that, and Kris was comforted by Talia's statement. The nine campers got out of the bus, and they made their way to the front of the museum, and Richard got out to inform them of the purpose of the challenge.

"Okay, today's challenge will be pretty interesting. Today, you will have to go inside the museum to try and find and capture a spider." Richard said.

Most of the campers were waiting for the twist. When none came, Allen laughed out loud.

"Really? You want us to grab a spider and then were safe? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard!" Allen stated.

"Yeah, is there a problem with that?"

"Yeah, Spiders are so easy to find man."

Most of the campers were nodding in agreement, wondering why this challenge was so simple. But Kris body was shaking, as she was trying not to tear up in fear. Now, Roxie, Carson, and now Ringo noticed the fearful Kris.

"Well then, I wish you guys the best of luck. The first one to bring back a spider is safe from the vote tonight. Alright, you guys can begin." Richard said.

The nine campers went together to the museum, and they all saw that the front entrance was opened, which means they essentially had the museum all to themselves. They all entered together, and they all marveled at…nothing. There seemed to be no artifacts, or anything that would attest to having anything spider related.

"Man, this sucks. I thought this challenge was going to be easy." Allen stated.

"Allen, nothing is ever fucking easy." Roxie stated.

"Hey, where are Hubbie and Ringo going?" Asked Allison.

The seven campers looked and saw that Hubbie and Ringo were heading to the back area of the museum. Curious, the campers followed the two of them to see where they were going. What they failed to notice was green smoke coming out of the vents, and the blue haired girl that was tailing them from behind.

Hubbie and Ringo went to the back to the grey door. Since they were in the museum, they wanted to talk to Lilly and the others about the silver journal. They spoke the Latin words, and they entered the monster bar. Hubbie again saw Cass and Venus disusing with one another, but what was weird was that nobody else was in the bar at all. Hubbie went over to the two of them.

"Hubbie, your back!" Cass stated.

"Nice to see you two again." Hubbie said.

"Hey, where is everyone?" Ringo asked.

"Oh, there at a trial right now." Venus said bluntly.

"Wait, what do you mean by trial?" Hubbie asked.

"Well, remember when Maria used those potions to try and ruin the game for everyone else? Well, she's getting a trial to determine what's going to happen to her." Cass explained.

"So it's just like the court system in our world." Ringo said.

"No, completely different." Venus stated.

"Yeah, what Venus said. You see, in our world, we don't give out the death penalty. And we also only have a six member jury, and the cases usually only take about a day to be completed." Cass said.

"So is that why everyone's gone? The case is going on right now?" Hubbie asked

"Yes, but it only just started. It should be about a couple more minutes before the case is concluded." Venus said.

"So…that means we have more time to do some…stuff." Cass said.

Hubbie blushed a bit, while Ringo knew what was happening, and back away. Only, he didn't expect to run into someone from behind. He turned around, and saw the seven other campers standing there in shock. What surprised Ringo even more was that there was a young girl with a blue haze standing next to Kris.

"How in the world did you guys get in?!" Ringo asked.

"You and Hubbie were walking to the back area, which made us suspicious since you guys don't usually go down there." Lucille said

"Crap…well then who are you?" Ringo asked the girl with the blue haze.

The other campers didn't know what Ringo was talking about, until they saw the girl, and everyone jumped back in shock. Hubbie, Cass, and Venus were all shocked that more people had shown up.

"Hubbie…you have got to stop being so comfortable." Venus stated.

"Venus, give him a break. It's not like he is intentionally trying to bring them here." Cass said

Hubbie was more concerned about the girl he's never seen before, and everyone else including Venus and Cass. The girl looked nervous.

"It's okay Talia, they're not going to hurt you." Kris said.

"Wait, you know her?" Venus asked.

"Yeah, she's a ghost. How in the world can you guys see her?" Kris asked.

"Well, if I remember correctly, all of the monster true forms are shown once they enter this realm." Cass said.

"Which is why I'm looking at a foxy cat girl?" Allen stated.

Cass rolled her eyes, not liking the way this guy was talking.

"Allen now's not the time for your words. I need to go to Williams's house." Hubbie said.

"Hold on what? Who the hell is this William guy?" Roxie stated.

"Oh boy…there's a lot of explaining that I have to do." Hubbie stated.

So, Hubbie sat everyone down, including Cass and Venus to explain what was going on. Hubbie gave most of the details about William, the mill with the lock, the journal, the monster world, and Lucien. Kris gave some info about Talia, and how her family perished. Finally, Allison had something that she was keeping from the others, but wanted to tell the others.

"Guys…I think I can see into the past and future." Allison stated.

All of the people there were surprised with what she said, and Cass and Venus were interested in hearing more.

"Wait and you tell us now?" Allen said.

"Allen, not now. Allison, did you see anything?" Hubbie asked.

"I only saw a couple of instances of events that would happen in the future, but the future seemed to have changed when I…nothing." Allison stated.

That caused Carson to get a nervous look in his eyes.

"Allison…you didn't mess with the timeline at all did you?" Carson asked.

Allison looked a little nervous, since she did it about two times already. But, she didn't want to say anything about it, since she was afraid of how the others were going to react.

"No, I don't think so." Allison said.

Carson was looking at Allison with some suspicion, but he decided to keep that to himself and discuss it with Allison later on. Meanwhile, the other campers were trying to figure out how to find the next shard, which was said to be in William's house in the monster world.

"Oh, well in order to find that, you're going to have to follow me." Cass said.

"Wait, you know where he lives?" Hubbie said.

"Yeah, it's the only abandoned building near the bar."

Most of the campers didn't like the fact that they had to go into an abandoned place. But, they realized it was the only way to finish the orb. But Hubbie was getting a bad feeling that something was going to happen if they completed the orb. The campers got out of their seats, and the campers, plus Talia and Venus, followed Cass to a weird looking compartment. Surprisingly, it was able to fit the twelve people inside. Cass pulled a lever, and a loud whirling sound. After a second, the whirling stopped, and Cass opened the door to find themselves in the bustling city. Looking for the abandoned building wasn't that hard since they were looking at the rundown apartment right in front of the compartment.

"Wow, it looks like shit." Roxie said.

"You can say that again." Allen stated.

"Can we just finish this and go inside?" Ringo asked.

Everyone nodded, and they began to cross the street to get inside. When they finally crossed the street, they got to the front entrance, which was covered with boards that had some algae on them. Venus and Roxie took to using there strength to pull the boards off the entrance. When they opened the door, there was a loud creaking sound, which was giving off a sinister vibe. But, the twelve made their way inside the apartment complex. Uri in the meantime was wondering what was going on. It had been about thirty minutes since the campers went into the museum, and since then he hadn't seen any sign of them at all. He turned to Daisy, who appeared to be talking on the phone to someone, but he didn't have time to talk to her. He got his phone, and dialed Richard's number.

"Hello?"

"Richard, it's me Uri. I'm having some trouble finding the campers. They've been gone for a long time."

"Did you look everywhere for them? Every nook and cranny?"

Uri thought about it for a moment. He knew almost where all the entrances and exits were, but were there anymore that he wasn't seeing? Uri looked through the monitors that he had, and he at first looked to the usual places where entrances and exits were. But then he noticed in the back that there was a grey door that was strangely placed. Uri thought this was interesting for a door to be at.

"Hey, I found a grey door near the back of the museum. Do you want me to send them through there?"

"Yeah, I'm sure it's not a big deal."

Uri, nodded his head, and he sent in the command for the things, as he saw them head toward the door. The twelve were moving their way up the stairs, with Cass again trying to remember where William lived. Then, after going up about four floors, she finally found his room. It was numbered 425, and Cass opened the door. The others saw something that was pretty depressing. They saw lots of dust and cobwebs that were around the room, and that various materials in the room seemed to have rusted. Hubbie, Ringo, Cass, and Venus went to look in William's bedroom, Allison and Adrian checked the bathroom, while everyone else just looked around to see if they could find anything. Kris and Talia were discussing things.

"Maybe we should come here more often. I mean, everyone here can see you." Kris said.

"I don't know. What if no one really likes me that much?" Talia said.

"I think people will really like who you are. Beside, everyone was really interested in your back story. I think everyone wants to try and find your body as well."

Talia blushed with the statement that was said by Kris.

"Awe, you really are to nice."

Talia and Kris embraced a bit, but then Kris caught something underneath a couch. She went underneath it, and found a crystal key that was shining. Kris knew this was important, so she decided to hold onto it for later. Allison and Adrian were together, and they were looking around to see if they could find anything that would help them out. Allison didn't see anything that could help them out, but Adrian grabbed a spear that was there, in case anything came after them.

"Adrian, I think we need to talk about this…while were alone." Allison stated

Adrian knew this was coming. He was thinking about it the whole week they have been off.

"So where are we…in this…I don't know…fling?" Adrian asked.

"Do you really think of this as a fling?"

"Well, yeah. We haven't really done anything sensual at all, and the fact of the matter is…I think the incidents with Colleen have left a bitter thing in my mind."

Allison was beginning to tear up now.

"So looking at me reminds you of her, and what she did to you?"

Adrian was now trying to get the things out before she burst out in tears.

"Yes…I'm sorry, but it does."

Allison then burst out into tears, and she ran out of the bathroom. Adrian followed her, but was stopped by Kris and Lucille. Lucille followed to where Allison had gone, while Kris looked confused as to what just happened.

"Kris, take this. You might need to give it to Lucille in case anyone tries to jump you." Adrian said.

Kris was lost, as she was given a spear by Adrian. She didn't question it anymore, as she and Talia headed to where Lucille and Allison had gone. Allen, Carson, and Roxie were looking at Adrian in confusion.

"Adrian, what the heck happened in there?" Allen asked.

"I…think I just broke things up with Allison." Adrian said.

"Are you fucking serious? I though you two were a thing?" Roxie stated.

"Were you reminded by what Colleen did?" Carson asked.

Adrian nodded his head, and everyone in the room could understand what he meant. Colleen had put Adrian through some messed up things, and the three of them figured he never really got over it. It was just hard to see him break things with Allison when she seemed to care so much about him. Not hearing any of this, Ringo was busy looking around the bedroom that William owned, and was looking around, while trying not to pay any attention that was going on between Hubbie and Cass, as they seemed to be…bonding per say.

"Hubbie, why can't I sit on your lap? I don't think it would be much trouble." Cass stated.

"Cass, I don't really think that would be-"Hubbie stated.

"Cass, if you even think about laying a finger on him you're dead." Venus stated with a surprising amount of venom.

"Oh, now we get some personality out of you. What the hell took you so long?" Cass stated.

Venus was breathing hard now, but she finally calmed down when she noticed that she had stopped her movements toward Hubbie. Ringo on the other hand had found a drawer containing another shard. He loved the glow, and put it in his pocket. What he didn't expect to find was a note by a specific person. He looked at it, and was shocked by what he had read.

Dear William,

I must say that your attempts of hiding are futile. If you have received this letter, I know where you are, and are coming to kill you where you stand. But, if you somehow manage to escape, I know your secret hiding place that you always go to when you…deliberate on the decisions you have made. Once my friend finds you, you're going to give up the orb, and the girl. You better not keep me waiting.

Ta Ta, Lucien

Ringo looked at this letter in fear. It was not good that Lucien had figured out where William had lived. What was even worse was that he had a hidden ally that nobody knows the identity of, which made it even more impossible to find the true mastermind. And who was this girl? Maybe one of the Monsters that are here? Or is it-

Ringo didn't have time to finish his thoughts as there was a scream that was heard outside the room. Ringo, Hubbie, Cass, Venus, Adrian, Allen, Roxie, and Carson ran out of the room to find a shivering Kris with the spear, but it had a dead four foot spider with the end being pierced. Lucille, Allison, and Talia were all shocked at what happened. Nobody sat still thought, as they now saw more spiders, this time with a greenish tint to them coming thorough the walls.

"Run for it!" Adrian cried out.

Everyone ran for the elevator, but one of the spiders shot out some web, and blocked the elevator doors. The spider hissed at them, and it lunged at them. Allen noticed a club on the floor, and as the spider was lunging itself at them, Allen hit the spider straight across the face, green blood spilling out of it. Allen had to wipe out the blood out of his eyes as he and others had to continue down the stairs. Roxie had gotten a crowbar as well, and started bashing the big spiders as well. Allen and Roxie were the one's killing most of the spiders that were attacking them. Hubbie was near the front, trying to keep the silver journal safe, but a giant ten foot spider came up in front of him. He was shocked by how big it was, and the screeching was so loud that he had to cover his ears. The spider lunged at him and the others, but Cass used her claws to slice the spider in half. Most of the mouths were open, except for Venus, who knew what Cass was capable of but was groaning on the inside since she was about to gloat again.

"Cass, that was amazing!" Hubbie said excitedly.

This made Cass blush, having Hubbie complement her like that.

"Oh, well I was only trying to help."

This made Venus give the two a jealous glance, but she didn't think either of them saw.

"Um, I don't want to barge in or anything, but we have spiders to deal with here!" Allen cried out.

Everyone got back into focus, as they continued to make their way out of the apartment complex. Finally, after killing a lot of spiders, they finally made their way out of the apartment…where there were spiders about everywhere, but no one around.

"I think Maria and the others are still at the trial." Venus said.

"Wait, you mean the girl that tried to get us all eliminated?" Allen stated.

"Look, can we just-" Roxie began

But suddenly, the group saw a bright light that appeared in front of them, and they were transported to the bar…where Lilly was there looking at Venus and Cass with an angry expression.

"Venus. Cass. Why in the world are you so bad at your job?" Lilly asked.

"Lilly, my gal. Look, it wasn't our fault that they found the place. They just happened to follow Hubbie and Ringo here." Cass stated.

"What, no that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about why you weren't guarding the place while the hearing was happening."

"We were helping these guys find out what happened to William. They found a few things that might help them later on." Venus said.

"So? What if someone came in here without your knowledge and stole something? Then what?"

"Look, we'll check the place out. Right now we're trying to deal with-"Cass was saying.

"Oh, you mean the giant spiders that were running about? Don't worry, I took care of them. Won't be seeing any of them running about if I have anything to say about it."

None of the campers or Talia seemed to be talking as the conversation was happening. Carson decided to interject.

"Um…do you mind if we head back to our world? I mean, there is still a challenge that is happening."

Lilly, now looking at the others, decided the time was right for them to head back.

"Alright, I'll let you guys head back. And, if any of you want to visit, I would be happy to oblige." Lilly said.

"Sounds like a good idea. Would be a nice place to hang out." Lucille stated.

Most of the campers headed out of the door that put them back in the human world. Kris was hesitant to go back, worried about what happened to Talia, who she was holding tight.

"Madam, what's going to happen to Talia when I go back? Will no one be able to see her once I go back?" Kris asked.

"Actually, the other campers should be able to see Talia from now on, and they can even interact with her."

Talia smiled a bit, happy to actually have everyone being able to see her. Kris and Talia held each other's hand, as they exited through the door. Hubbie, Ringo, Allison, and Adrian were interested about something else.

"So do you know how the trial went?" Asked Allison, trying to move away from Adrian.

Lilly didn't say anything at first, but then she started talking about what went down.

"Well, it started out okay, with Maria being asked questions about what went down. They had her take a truth serum in order for her to tell the whole truth. Well, the judge asked her various questions, and she answered them with honesty. What shocked us the most was the fact that she was the one to seek Colleen out. And what's worse, it seemed like Colleen wasn't a very good listener and it was mostly due to her ignorance that she caused so many problems. But, Maria was the one who initiated all the trouble, so they have decided…to lock her away in the dungeons for the next couple of weeks, and then after that she will not be allowed to go back to the human world for the next twenty years."

Adrian, Allison, and Hubbie didn't mind since they felt like that was the right ruling. But Ringo felt like that was a little too harsh.

"Are you sure that was the right ruling? I mean, it seems a little harsh to keep her in a cell, and even worse to be banned from the human world for the next twenty years. Besides, doesn't she help out Mayor Harris? How are you going to deal with that?" Ringo asked.

"We'll put a spell on him, making him forget Maria. The whole town will forget who she was, and Harris will mostly just working on his own."

The four nodded, understanding the choices that Lilly took. After that, they headed for the exit, but not before Hubbie got a hug from Cass, who intentionally put his face in her chest. Hubbie now had a red tomato as a face, but he didn't really mind it that much. Venus was fuming now, that she wasn't in the position that Cass was in.

"Cass, I can't breathe." Hubbie stated.

Cass let go of Hubbie so that he could breathe better. Hubbie was happy that he could breathe, and trying to wonder if he would get the same treatment again.

"Cass…stay safe." Hubbie said.

Cass couldn't help but blush, and she went up to him and gave him a kiss on the check. Hubbie knees were trembling, but he kept his balance, as he waved goodbye to Venus as well on his way out. Richard was now pacing at the front of the museum, scared about what happened to the campers. He had contacted Uri to see what was happening, but Uri told them that the campers were not on the monitor at all. He was about to call the cops when he saw the nine campers come out of the museum. They all looked battered and bruised, but all of them seemed to be okay. Richard then saw Kris with a spider on a spear. That put a smile to Richard's face.

"Well, it looks like this challenge is over. And the winner here is Kris, since she has a dead spider on her spear. That means that the rest of you will be up for elimination. I'm getting the feeling this will be an important vote." Richard exclaimed.

The campers got back on the bus, with Kris putting the spear with the spider on the ground as she got on the bus. Richard sat in the back, while the bus drove on its own.

"Wait a minute, when did it start doing that again?" Allison asked.

"Oh, it's been doing that the whole time. I just decided to sit back here so I can sleep for a bit." Richard said.

That didn't make anyone on the bus feel any better. They decided to just try and forget about it. After a thirty minute drive back to the diner, as everyone got off and back inside to get some lunch before the ensuing vote. Lucille, Kris and Allison sat at a table together, with the later trying to get Allison to calm down.

"Allison, it's okay. You just had a rough patch-"Kris started.

"Kris, it was never going to work out. Colleen ruined everything, and now whenever I'm around him he's reminder of what he went thorough. Adrian doesn't fell anything for me anymore." Allison stated.

"Allison, I need you to pull yourself together. We have a vote to get to, and I need you to stay focused." Lucille said, staring into the eyes of Allison.

Allison was shocked by the intensity that Lucille displayed, and nodded her head, as she tried not to blush. Meanwhile, Allen, Adrian, Ringo, and Hubbie were trying to figure out what had happened, and what was going to go down.

"Alright, so we get rid of Roxie. That's the plan right?" Ringo asked.

"Yeah, and were going to keep moving forward. Adrian, you sure you got Carson on our side?" Allen asked.

"He told me himself that he was voting with us." Adrian said.

"Good, then we should be fine."

Allen: "Man, this seems like the easiest vote so far. We're taking out the biggest threat still in this game. Sure, it makes it possible for me to get eliminated, but I think as long as Adrian says that we have Carson on our side, nothing can go wrong."

Adrian: "So, that thing I told Allen about? Yeah, I don't exactly know if I have his vote. When I came up to him to talk about Roxie going, he seemed uncomfortable about voting for her. I really hope I didn't offend him by asking to vote out his girlfriend, but he must realize that she is the biggest threat still in this game right?"

Carson was busy trying to process all this new information that he had gotten when he went to this monster realm, but he was interrupted by Roxie, who wanted to talk to him for a bit.

"Carson, is there a favor I can ask of you?" Roxie asked.

"Sure, what is it?" Carson asked.

Roxie looked around to see if anyone was paying attention, then spoke in a quiet voice.

"I need you to vote with me. The girls and I are trying to get rid of Allen."

"So you're getting out one of the bigger threats still in the merge. That would be good if Allen was gone, since he keeps messing with his girlfriend Scarlett, and the fact that he seems to think that he's on top of the world. It would be pretty nice to see him fall off of his pedestal."

"That's why we need your help. We need to get rid of Allen before he starts winning challenges."

"I'll give it some consideration."

The siren sounded, signaling that voting was going to begin soon.

"Well, you might have to think about it on the way there."

After a trip from the diner to the abandoned mansion, the nine campers were now in the basement…including Scarlett for some reason.

"Allen, why is she here?" Richard asked.

"Well, I just wanted her to see what goes on down here, so I invited her to watch." Allen stated.

Richard was just really confused, but he decided to ignore it. He was also wondering why everyone was looking right next to Scarlett for some reason. Richard didn't see that Talia was sitting right next to Scarlett, and she was waving to Kris, wishing her good luck.

"Now, I think since the merge, I have begun to see a divide her. Now, what happens with this vote could mean making it to the end, or going out while the merge is still new to you. Now, why don't you guys start the voting process!"

Most of the campers went through the voting booth quickly, having to know what to vote for. But when it came to Carson, everyone was staring at him, wondering how he was going to go. Carson slowly got up out of his seat, and made his way inside the voting booth. After a while, Carson walked out, and sat back down in his seat next to Roxie, who was hugging him for support. Richard pulled up the votes, and looked wide eyed to see how it went down.

"Well I must say, the way you voted really interested me. Now, let's get these marshmallows out to see who is safe."

Richard pulled out eight marshmallows, and everyone was looking really intense to see where this was going to go.

"Now, first safe tonight is Kris, since she won the challenge and wasn't supposed to be voted for."

Kris caught her marshmallow in the air, and then biting into it to start eating it, and then noticed some green goo coming out of it, causing her to scream and faint on sight, since it looked like the blood of the spider that they had encountered.

"Richard, what the fuck?" Roxie cried out.

"Sorry, I just decided to mix things up with these marshmallows. Don't worry; it's only jelly in there, no spider guts at all."

Roxie and Allen hoisted Kris to the bench where Scarlett and Talia were, as Talia began to try and comfort the unconscious Kris.

"After that, why don't we get to the next two that are safe, which are Carson and Ringo."

Both successfully grabbed their marshmallow. Carson ate the marshmallow and found orange jelly inside, while Ringo had red colored jelly.

"Next two safe are Lucille and Adrian."

Both were happy to be safe, as they both got there marshmallows. Adrian found out that it had a blue jelly filling inside, while Lucille got purple.

"Allison and Hubbie, you are the next two to be safe."

Allison didn't even look while she was taking it, taking the marshmallow, and eating it which turned out to be a yellow jelly. Hubbie took it, and he ate it, and found out that he had black jelly. He didn't like the color of it, since it gave him a sinister vibe. Finally, it was down to Roxie and Allen.

"This seems to be where the campers are finally starting to realize the threats in this game. Allen, you are an obnoxious person who somehow has stayed in this game with a meteoric amount of votes, I was surprised you made it here at all. But, failing to win this challenge might have cost you in the end. As for you Roxie, you were one of the only one's who seemed to win almost every challenge that you have faced, making you have a big target on your back. Does failing to win this last challenge mean you are going home?"

Both Allen and Roxie started sweating bullets, as they didn't know how this was going to go.

"The last person who is safe tonight is…

…

…Roxie!"

Roxie breathed a sigh of relief, as she got the last marshmallow in her hand. Allen, not believing what has just happened, tried to talk to Richard.

"Rich, there must be some sort of mistake. Why am I eliminated?" Allen asked.

"Because you got the most votes to be eliminated." Richard said.

"But then that would mean…" Allen stated.

Allen looked at Carson, and then got a pissed off face.

"You voted with them?" Allen stated.

"Allen, I couldn't vote out Roxie. We're close-"Carson stated.

"Close doesn't mean crap. Carson, your making a mistake by keeping her around. Don't be fooled."

Scarlett, seeing that Allen was eliminated, started to tear up, and she hung onto Allen.

"Allen, if you go, then I follow." Scarlett stated.

Allen nodded, and they both kissed one another, as Chino came out of the room and grabbed the both of them, and he dragged the both of them into the chamber, and as he closed to door, the eight remaining campers knew that both of them were done for.

In the forest…

BC had returned to Lucien, having brought him some important info.

"Lucien, I have found the hiding place of the monster realm, just like you asked me to. Is there any reason why you wanted to find it?"

"Of course I have a plan. It's the main point to my plan. The others seemed to be finding the pieces fine. They'll do all the work for me at this point. But, I can't let them find the truth about William, or my ally. But don't worry, all I have to do is to find the stone, and there will be no one who can stop me."

Votes:

Adrian: "Okay, I did my best, and I hope I have Carson's vote tonight. I'm voting out Roxie because to me, she is the biggest threat still in this game."

Allen: "Adrian, I thank you for getting Carson's vote...I hope. I'm voting out Roxie, since I don't want to have anyone else to compete in these challenges."

Allison: "Allen, I never really liked the way you acted around people, and it also doesn't help that Allen is really good at challenges. I think eliminating Allen would be the best thing...oh I can't take it, I wish I could vote for Adrian, since I can't bear to look at him anymore."

Hubbie: "I don't know why i'm voting with the guys, since I don't really like hanging out with the three of them. But, I do agree with who they want gone. Roxie, since the start of this game has been a force of nature, running through most of these challenges. With Roxie out, it will be easier for others to win challenges."

Ringo: "Um...I guess Roxie could go, since she is strong and that's who Hubbie was voting for."

Kris: "Allen should go, since he is a strong competitor with an attitude. He seems to have a superiority complex, with him seeming like the strongest person on this show. But now, Allen will fall off the pedestal."

Lucille: "Allen, you have been a strong competitor in this game, but I think your time is up. You were too confidant that you would be safe, so you didn't play as hard to stay in the game. Sorry, that's just how things work."

Roxie: "Fuck, it's nervous when your getting votes. I just fucking hope Carson loves me enough to keep me around, and doesn't see me as a threat. As for Allen, you have to go home. Your the bigger threat here, and it also doesn't help that you have an attitude."

Carson: "I actually thought this vote was pretty easy. I didn't want to see Roxie go, since I care about her. And Allen is still mostly a jerk, even though he has improved with his attitude. Sorry Allen, but I had to vote for you."

Finally, done with this chapter. I felt like this was one of my tougher one's to write, since I have been away for a bit, but I finally finished it. Now though, I'm going to have to talk about Allen. Where do I begin? Allen was a really jerk wad when he started off, and he was almost eliminated in the first three episodes, but over time grew to be one of the stronger campers on this show. He went through dying, getting a girlfriend, and saving a bunch of people at a farm. But even though he was a polarizing figure, he was still a pretty good camper to talk about. Unfortunately, Allen was beginning to get stale, and I couldn't think of anything else to use for him, since I already exhausted all of the things I could think of for him. I think now was the best time for him to go. What did you think of Allen? Who is the next to go? What does Lucien have up his sleeve? Will the group be able to complete the orb? Soon, everything would come together.
