Total Drama: Welcome to Horrorville

Episode 14: Why did it have to be Snakes?

Hubbie was working on trying to read the journal itself, since he saw the title and the chapters. The problem was the fact that he couldn't for the life of him read the words at all, and it was in an entirely different language that wasn't known to man. What was even creepier to Hubbie was that he was getting the feeling that he and the others were being watched. Hubbie had seen these people with weird colored hair watching from a distance. Hubbie didn't know why they were following his group in particular, but something told him that Lucien had something to do with this. Hubbie though was most concerned with how the search of the shards to the orb was coming. He had figured out that he was halfway there by the orb was now split in half now. But the more pieces he found, the more he was concerned with how the other campers around him were acting.

Lucille was mostly in the background, focusing on just playing her cards right and trying to stay in this game, and keeping her relationship strong with Sebastian. Suddenly though, she had started to become more confidant in herself, and had ditched Sebastian for Allison, which was very weird since he didn't understand how those two would fit since they both had different personalities.

Speaking of Allison, she was acting strange as well. She seemed to be very nice and comfortable around others, a bit more on the shy part. She even was close to Adrian, well after the incident with Colleen. But soon after, Allison for some reason ditched Adrian for Lucille, and she seems to be a part of this girl's alliance, when it didn't even exist before the merge.

What was even worse, Hubbie seemed to notice Ringo starting to go off on his own, even though he is known to stick close to others. What's even more alarming is the fact that Ringo seemed to be more…angst? Why was that though? Hubbie didn't know what was happening, but Hubbie knew it had something to do with the orb he was trying to build. Hubbie then knew what he needed to do. He needed to give the orb to Lilly and the others in order to stop whatever was happening before it got even worse.

So, Hubbie got out of his seat, and went into the drawer that he had put the orb. What surprised Hubbie was that it seemed to be glowing a lot brighter then it was before, so he had to quickly take it out and put it in a duffle bag so that the light wouldn't shine so brightly outside. Hubbie grabbed the duffle bag, and was preparing to leave when a particular thought went through his head. Why was he bringing it to Lilly? He didn't think he needed to bring it now. Besides, not everyone was affected by whatever was happening. Roxie, Carson, Adrian and Kris seemed to be normal enough, so it wasn't really that big of a deal was it? No, what is he thinking? Of course he had to do it now. He didn't want anyone else changing for the worse. But, it wasn't a big deal right now, so he put the duffel bag on his bed, and he grabbed the silver journal as he headed out. Hubbie shut the door and locked it from behind and then, feeling dangerous, threw his key into the sewers.

Hubbie went to gather up everyone else to tell them about the journal when he realized what he did. He looked around him to find that he had the journal in his hand and no key to his house. Hubbie was starting to realize more and more that the orb was affecting what decisions were being made. He ran back to the house…seeing that the window to it had been broken into. Hubbie went up to the broken window, and Hubbie put his hand through the broken plane, and opened the window from the inside. He pulled the window open, then slowly climbed into his house. He grimaced as he cut his hand with a shard of glass. He grabbed a towel that was nearby to stop the bleeding. When Hubbie went to look in his room, he saw that the duffel bag was gone.

"FUCK!"

Hubbie: "This is bad, this is really bad. I lost the half of the orb, and now someone can use it. Well, can't use it I would say, since I feel like the person would have trouble using it since it literally controlled me for about a minute or so. I think trying to destroy it would be the best course of action. Unless of course, it can't be destroyed and have made a terrible mistake in even trying to reform it. I need to tell Lilly this."

Hubbie had called Richard to tell him about the break in. A couple of minutes later, Richard showed up, as all the others campers had gathered to see the scene of the crime.

"Holy crap Hubbie, you weren't kidding. Someone trashed your place. What did they steal?" Richard asked.

"It was a duffel bag that I had brought with me. I had left it on the bed, and now it's not there anymore." Hubbie said.

"Alright, I'll make sure to tell the authorities about this incident." He then turned to the other campers. "If anything like this happens again, you call me okay?"

The other campers nodded, understanding what he meant. Richard, getting a sufficient answer, left to get ready for the next challenge. Hubbie went to the others.

"Guys, I've got some bad news to tell you guys." Hubbie stated.

"What is it? Was there anything in that duffel bag that was important to you?" Asked Ringo.

"No, not really."

No, that's not what he wanted to say. He was supposed to say that the orb was in there. Try it again.

"I was actually concerned about the journal that I have here. I can't actually read anything on it."

This is hopeless isn't it? That's what Hubbie was thinking as he realized that the orb was acting on its own, and that for some reason he couldn't mention it at all.

"Shit really? Damn that sucks. I mean, it's also fucking terrible about the house to." Roxie stated.

"Roxie, its fine. Not a big deal, things happen. Right now, I think we need to focus on getting this to Lilly, so she can try to decipher what this is saying."

Everyone nodded their heads, as the others began to make their way to the diner in order to use the bus. Hubbie was minding his own business trying to figure out why he couldn't mention a simple orb, when he started to hear a conversation that the girls were having.

"I'm telling you, we need to figure out who goes next." Lucille said.

"Well I say we get rid of Adrian, because I don't want to see him ever again." Lucille said in an angry tone.

"I don't think that's the right call. Sure, Adrian should probably go soon, but not this time around. We need to get rid of someone that is very good a challenges." Kris stated.

"Oh jeez, I wonder who that is." Roxie said sarcastically.

"Roxie, we don't mean you. Your part of our alliance, so you're sticking around in this game as long as I say so." Lucille stated.

"So who do you think should go?" Allison asked.

"I think the best course of action would be to eliminated Hubbie, then Adrian, and then Ringo."

Hubbie was shocked to hear his name come up, but he kept walking as to not draw attention to himself.

"Wait, Hubbie? I thought he was a pretty good guy." Kris stated.

"Yeah, he is, but he didn't tell us about the monster realm. Do you really think we're going to trust him any longer after that?" Lucille stated.

"The only fucking reason he did it was he was worried we wouldn't be able to handle it." Roxie said.

"But he still didn't tell us. Sorry Roxie, but I got to agree with Lucille on this." Allison said.

Hubbie now heard a huff, probably from Roxie. Now Hubbie was trying not to shake, as he realized that he would probably be the next one to go. Unless…Hubbie won the next challenge. Hubbie now had a determined look in his eye. All he had to do was win this challenge, and he was safe from elimination. Hubbie knew that needed to be his goal until he wasn't a threat. Which was impossible, since he didn't know how many challenges he was going to have to win in order to remain safe. As they were walking to the diner, they noticed that there was a guy that was standing there, with the guy using his phone. Most of the campers were wondering who this guy was and why he was just sitting next to the bus.

"Um excuse me? Who are you?" Allison asked.

The guy looked at the others, and saw that it was the campers. He then introduced himself.

"Names Uri. Do you guys need to be anywhere?" He asked.

"We were actually thinking of going to the museum. Do you care?" Kris asked.

Uri, realizing that they had planned on going to the museum, formulated a plan in his head for the next challenge.

"Yeah, sure. I don't really mind. Just be back before Richard announces the next challenge."

Uri watched them get into the bus, and once it started to drive away, Uri raced back to where his hideout was to try and to create a challenge. What he didn't realize was that a red headed figure look on in interest. The other campers began talking again about what was going on. But Kris was talking to Talia, wanting to know more about her.

"So, do you have no idea where your body is and you don't remember your brother dying? So, if we find him, he could possibly tell you everything that happened." Kris stated.

"Still, I don't even know where to begin." Talia said.

"Then let's start with the key that we found. Do we know where it leads?"

"Well, the only place that looked like had a similar shape would be in that mill."

"Then, once were done with looking around the museum, we can check out William's place to see what's hidden inside."

"But, will we want to know what's inside?"

"Talia, whatever happens to you, I will keep you safe alright? You have to stop doubting yourself."

"And I thought you were the one who was doubting herself."

They both laughed and kissed each other. Adrian felt an aching in his chest, since he had officially, or unofficially, broke up with Allison. He didn't like telling her that he wasn't that into her anymore, but he knew that Allison could be targeting him based on what occurred. He was hanging around Hubbie and Ringo as well, since those two were essentially the only ones who could oppose the alliance of girls plus Carson.

"I think I messed up. Was it right to let her go?" Adrian asked.

"If I were to call it…yeah, I think you did the right thing. Hanging around Allison was weighing you down, and you didn't seem to be getting any better. So, I think it was the right call, but the way you handled it wasn't as good. She still seems to be really upset by what you said." Hubbie stated.

"Yeah, I know. I just hope she forgives me sometime soon."

Ringo wasn't paying attention, just thinking about something that was going on.

"Hey, do you know what happened to the orb at all?" Ringo asked.

Hubbie then looked shocked when Ringo asked the question.

"Yeah, I know what happened. It was stolen." Hubbie stated.

That got the attention of everyone on the bus.

"Wait, you can't be serious right? Why didn't you tell us sooner?" Lucille asked.

"That's the thing though. I tried to tell you guys earlier at the house, but I couldn't for the life of me tell you guys anything about the orb. It was like I was being forced to talk about some other things."

The others were concerned, but they didn't know whether Hubbie was completely telling the truth. The girls, except for Roxie, thought that he was acting to weird, and only exemplified why they needed to get rid of her. The campers rode the bus for the next half hour, until they finally got to the museum. The eight campers plus Talia exited the bus, and went to the museum entrance. Zara was there as usual, having that nonchalant look to her.

"So, are you guys going to see you know who?" She asked.

"Yeah, were probably going to stay for a bit." Hubbie said.

"Don't worry, it's not like people come here a lot during the winter. Take as long as you need."

Hubbie nodded, as they all went inside. What they noticed is that there were no exhibits that were new, and most of them had stayed the same. They made their way to the back, and saw the door again. Hubbie was the one that said the Latin, and the nine of them entered into the bar. It was busy, but they found a ten seat table that was available. They sat down at it, and waited for a bit. Cass was the server, and she was excited to see Hubbie again, but before she could greet him Venus came up to him.

"Hubbie, can I talk to you for a bit?" Venus asked.

"Sure, I can do that."

Hubbie left the journal in the possession of Ringo, as he went to the back of the bar with Venus. When Hubbie was there, he wanted to know why Venus was there.

"So, what questions do you-"

Hubbie was interrupted by Venus kissing him on the lips. This took Hubbie off guard as he was smooching one of the girls that was into him. Hubbie didn't know why she was doing this now of all times.

"Oh, I knew you would do that!" Cass stated.

Venus and Hubbie stopped locking lips, as Venus had a grin on her face.

"Sorry about that, I just wanted to be the first to kiss him." Venus stated.

Cass stood there looking surprise at what she did.

"Well, you got to kiss him first. But how will it compare to mine?" Cass said.

"Wait, what!"

Hubbie was bombarded again, as Cass was now kissing him. Hubbie didn't want to admit it, but he thought kissing Cass felt like strawberry, and the way she used her tongue was very sensual. Cass ended the kiss, and then after that, wiped her mouth.

"So, what did you think of that Hubbie?" Cass asked.

Hubbie, who was still in shock by the kisses he got, was still trying to process what had just happened. After that Cass and Venus were looking at each other with high intensity. Hubbie then notice in the back that Lilly had shown up at the table. Hubbie carefully sneaked away from the two of them, as he got back to the group. He sat down next to Ringo, as Allison was asking about the journal

"So do you know what this thing is trying to tell us?" Allison asked.

Lilly looked at the journal, when closed her eyes as she put her hand over the book. A small light came out of her hand, and for a few seconds most of the campers just stared. Then, Lilly opened her eyes, as she looked really sad as to what she just saw.

"It's a tragedy what happened to William. He was born into a family that really didn't care too much about him, and he had to live on his own. He then found the monster world when he was around your age. He truly cared about it a lot, and he helped out our community. But, he needed to find a job that would be suitable so people wouldn't be suspicious of where he was. He got a job as a butler for the Blackthorns in 1962, and for the next ten years he served them, and watched Talia and James grow up. But, William was interested in the dark arts. He wanted to try and find a famous artifact that would be able to create and do whatever the person desired. This is when he found the Orb of Lucifer, as he was fascinated by it. Since he was of special birth, he was one of the only ones to be able to control it. But it came into the wrong hands when Paul Blackthorn touched the orb, creating a shockwave that killed the entire family. William was devastated, and he actually was the one to come to me about the story, as I was only around twenty at that time. I was still inexperience, so I told him to try and run from the problem. That was a mistake, as William gave the orb to an unknown Lucien at the time. For the next ten years, Lucien discovered more and more about the orb, and soon was able to do anything with it. He became tyrannical, and was soon trying to take over both the monster and human realm. But William came back and stopped Lucien from causing any more problems. He was pronounced dead, and William was proclaimed a hero. But William still had regrets about what happened to the Blackthorns, and from then on he tried his best to create something that would bring them back to life. But, he died from his experiments, with a slice to the throat ending him. We don't really know what happened to the body of Talia, but as far as we can tell, James is still alive. And what's more…he's at the moment living in Horrorville."

That took everyone off guard, as they knew he was alive, but they had no idea that he lived in Horrorville. That made everyone wonder who that could be, and where James might be. But this put Talia to tears, as she realized that her brother was still alive and well, and that he was close by.

"Wait, doesn't that mean he could tell us about William and what happened when the orb killed them?" Kris asked.

"He could tell us about William, but it will be unlikely that he would be able to recall the orb." Lilly said.

As the other campers began to talk again, Hubbie was looking to Ringo to talk to him about the news…only to find that Ringo wasn't there at all. Hubbie wondered if he went to the bathroom. Ringo in fact, had left the bar entirely, and was down in the dungeons to try and find a specific person. He had to ask for directions, but he knew he needed to talk with this person to ask them some certain questions. He was tried though of walking up two hundred flights of stairs, and he was finally relived when he reached the top. Ringo started looking at the cells, to see which cell that he was looking for. After a minute, he saw the cell that he was looking for, and he sat down next to it to start talking to the person.

"I don't think it was your fault." Ringo said.

Then, the person in the cell came into the light, and it turned out to be Maria, who was still in the cell.

"And why do you say that?" Maria asked.

"I know what you were trying to do, and I guess its okay. But I felt that Colleen caused all the problems that occurred. It still doesn't mean that what you did was right, but I understand your reasoning behind your decisions."

Maria didn't say anything for a bit.

"Why do you still care? I tried to change this game on my own, yet you still care." Maria stated

Ringo shuffled a little bit in his seat, but he finally started talking.

"For most of my life, my only focus was to try and appease others. I never really grew up with my dad, and I lost my mother when I was eleven. So, basically it was just my brother and I. Going to school was also pretty tiring, as most of the time I was there I was mostly just ignored, as I felt like I was just doing what everyone asked me to. I felt so alone, and I didn't know if anyone really cared. I thought if I did something that would make others recognize me would be better than being ignored. But then I realized something more: that I didn't need to appease everyone to be happy. And yeah, I still try to appease others. But I only try to appease people that are nice, and I feel so much better now. I think you know what I'm talking about."

Maria didn't say anything for a couple of seconds. She was thinking about the words that Ringo was saying, and then she realized why Ringo was saying this.

"I…think I get what you're saying. I'm appeasing someone that I feel like is my friend. But in reality…I feel like that's just what my boss wants. To cause chaos and disorder. I didn't want any of that, but she seemed really nice and trying to help me become a better witch, but in reality, she was using me for her own schemes. Why…didn't I see that sooner?"

Maria then started to sob, and she was crying on the fact that she was stupid enough to fall for her boss' trick. Ringo, feeling a little guilty for making her cry, did the best he could to hug her. Maria seemed to really appreciate it, as she cuddled up against Ringo. After a while, Ringo and Maria had to let go of one another.

"Hey, I got to go. Do you mind if we keep seeing each other?"

"That would be great."

Ringo then went back down the stairs, and got out of the entrance. He then walked back to the elevator, took the elevator, and was back in the bar…with everyone looking at him.

"What?" Ringo asked.

"Where in the hell were you?" Hubbie asked.

"I was just walking around. Wanted to see what this world looked like."

"Well you could have told us before you just walked out." Allison said.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to cause you guys any distress."

Ringo noticed that everyone was already done with this place, and most were ready to leave. So, Ringo said goodbye to Lilly, Cass and Venus, as the campers plus Talia made their way back out to the museum. Everyone else was talking about what Lilly had talked about.

"So the journal gives us the info about where the all the shards are. Since there are five dots that are gone, that means we have five shards to go." Allison stated.

"And what's even better is that we know what this crystal key is for. It's for the mill that William had." Kris stated.

"So, I think we should-"Lucille began.

Suddenly, the floor below then opened up, and everyone fell down to the abyss below. After a three foot drop, everyone landed on a sort of limestone, and everyone was groaning in pain, as they didn't know what had just happened. Hubbie looked around, and noticed that most of the area was pitch black except for the limestone area around them. Hubbie was confused as to what was going on, until the loudspeaker came on inside the museum.

"Sorry about that campers, but I needed to get you guys here so I could do the next challenge." Richard stated

"You have got to be fucking kidding me? What are you doing now you jackass?" Roxie stated.

"Now come on, I'm not that big of a jerk. I'm only doing what I'm supposed to be doing."

"Yeah, trying to kill us is doing your job."

"Fine, whatever, I'll just explain the challenge. You're in a pit right now, and there doesn't seem to be anything around right now. But, when I turn the torches on…"

There was a click, and various torches lit up, and around the room seemed to be a sort of throne room. But around the room was about a thousand snakes that were littered around the room.

"AHHH!" Lucille cried out.

Everyone looked to Lucille, who was shivering in fear.

"I…hate…snakes."

"Unfortunately, snakes are going to be a part of this challenge. Your objective is to last as long as possible in this pit of snakes. If you think you can't continue on, you can tap out of the challenge. The last one remaining is safe from elimination, and cannot be voted for. This challenge could take a while. Good luck." Richard ended.

Then the loudspeaker went off, with the other campers wondering what Richard meant.

"This shouldn't be too hard." Ringo stated.

"Don't jinx us." Lucille shakily said.

Turns out, that Ringo did jinx then, as the snakes were slowly slithering their way to the group. Lucille was panicking as the snakes were getting closer.

"no no no no no." Lucille stammered.

One of the snakes used a rattle to scare the other campers, but Lucille seemed to be the only one to be cowering in fear. What did Lucille in was the cobra that was looking at her, and then it showed her fangs. When it made a hissing sound at her, she couldn't go on anymore.

"I'm done!" Lucille cried out.

When she said that, the other campers saw her disappear, and didn't know where she went.

"Damn, this isn't good at all." Roxie stated.

"Yeah, well it's better for us because at least one of us will stay in this game longer." Adrian stated.

"Adrian, I don't want to hear your crap right now." Allison stated.

"Fuck, what the hell happened to the two of you." Roxie asked.

"Roxie…please try not to question them too much." Kris stated.

Roxie sighed, and she calmly understood that they couldn't seem to get back together after Allison found out that Adrian felt like hanging out with her reminded him of Colleen. The other campers there tried to keep calm as the snakes seemed to be moving around them, trying to intimidate them. Kris was a little disturbed by them, because she almost thought of them as spiders.

"Kris, it's going to be alright. Just think of them like puppies." Talia said.

"Easy for you to say when you see the scales on them, and it just reminds you of alligators." Kris said.

"Really, alligators?"

"What, that's the thing that popped into my head."

Both of them laughed and they cuddled next to one another. The others were trying to stay calm as the snakes began inching there way closer. Roxie, Hubbie, and Ringo mostly kept their cool, while Kris, Allison, Adrian, and Carson grouped together closely as to starve away from the incoming snakes. Soon, the snakes had surrounded both groups.

"Guys, this isn't looking good." Carson said.

"Oh you think." Allison stated.

"Look, as long as the snakes are just surrounding us, we can just stay here without any issues." Ringo stated.

1 hour later…

Most of the campers were tired of just sitting there for so long, with nothing seeming to be going on. Sure, the snakes got close, but they didn't seem to want to hurt them at all.

"I think this is starting to get boring." Adrian said.

"Adrian, everything you talk about is boring." Allison stated.

"Allison, can you please not be rude to me."

"I can't after you think of that person you call human."

"Well at least you weren't being drugged. I was the one that was a vegetable half of the time."

"And you hurt my feelings."

"SHUT UP!" Roxie cried out.

Both Adrian and Allison both went quiet.

"Can you please for the love of god make up already?" Roxie asked.

"NO!" Both of them screamed.

Roxie was annoyed by this, but Hubbie was thinking this was good. Sure, it was bad if Adrian went out like this, but that would put one of the ladies out of the challenge. Hubbie was starting to notice something weird about the snakes, and that was when the announcement came on.

"Wow, you guys are good at this thing, but of course you guys can't keep doing this. So, I'm going to put the snakes on you, and see how you do then." Richard said.

Allison and Adrian didn't appear to hear the announcement, as the snakes got closer, until they started to slither on their bodies. Allison and Adrian then cried out in shock as the snakes started to go onto their body.

"I can't do this!" both of them said at the same time.

Then, both Adrian and Allison disappeared from the pit, and now Hubbie was trying to slow his breathing as the snakes began to cover his body. Roxie seemed to be calm, but Carson, Kris, and Ringo were starting to panic a bit. When a snake went around Kris' throat, she knew she couldn't do this any longer.

"Sorry, but I don't want to do this anymore!"

Kris disappeared, as the snakes dropped to the ground without injury. Carson was now trying to figure out of he was going to live once one of these snakes were trying to bite him. Ringo was just trying to get through this, impressed with himself that he lasted this long. And Roxie and Hubbie were keeping their cool as best as they could.

Thirty minutes later…

The four left hadn't budged for a while, and now most of them were worried about what Richard had up his sleeve. Carson was talking with Roxie in the meantime.

"I really didn't expect to be here this long. Do you think anyone's notice that we've been gone for a while?" Carson asked.

"I don't think so, and it fucking sucks. Richard said that he rented this place out for the whole day, so no one suspects any fucking foul play." Roxie stated.

"Hey, were not dead yet are we?" Ringo chimed in.

"True, but the snakes could bite us at any moment." Hubbie stated.

"I don't know if I want this challenge to go on any longer, because I think I'm about to fall asleep." Roxie said.

The loudspeaker went on, as the four others looked at each other to see what was about to happen.

"You guys are killing it right now. But, I can't have you continue for much longer. The cobra that is on you right now will bite you, and poison will start to flow through you. So, I'm going to give you an option. You can get out of here now before the snake bites you or you can stay and let the snake bite you. I will give you a few minutes to make your decision."

When the speaker went off, the other four tried to think in their head what the best decision was. Hubbie knew he couldn't quit now, since he knew that he was going to go home if he lost this challenge. Roxie on the other hand was feeling uncomfortable, since she was nervous about getting bit. But, she still wanted to win for the girls and Carson, and Hubbie was still in. So she needed to keep going to keep the order in place. Carson knew he that continuing on was a bad idea, since he knew Roxie could take out Hubbie easily. As for Ringo, he had trust in Hubbie that he was going to win this challenge, and he didn't think he could go on anyways.

"I think I'm going to pass on this." Carson stated.

"Same here, I don't think I could go on anymore." Ringo said.

Ringo and Carson disappeared into the unknown, and only Roxie and Hubbie remained. Roxie was sure that Hubbie was going to go, but he had no idea that he was the next to go right? I mean, there was no chance that he could have heard them talking about him. But, Roxie expected Hubbie to last this long, so she didn't question it too long.

"Alright, it comes down to Roxie and Hubbie. Now, once you'll feel the bite, the poison will be coursing through your veins faster than normal. You'll pass out in about five minutes, and die within the next ten. So, I hope someone gives up in the next four and a half minutes."

Hubbie and Roxie braced for the bite, and they felt the cobra bite them on the neck. Almost immediately, they felt a heavy sort of feeling to their body, like the life was being sucked out of them. The snakes got off of the two, as Roxie tried to keep herself upright, but Hubbie had the justification to lay down on the ground.

"Why are you still fucking doing this? Just give up, you know I have more to give." Roxie stated.

"I just want to…win one challenge. Just let me have this." Hubbie said.

Roxie considered her options. She could keep going and win this challenge, and have a huge threat out of this game. Or she could let Hubbie win this challenge, and have Hubbie safe from the vote. If that happens, they could vote for Adrian, since Allison wants him gone. And it would be better if he was gone, since she really didn't want to hear the arguing going on between the two. So, she made her choice.

"Fine, I give in." Roxie stated.

Roxie and Hubbie were then transported to the inside of the museum, where everyone else was. Hubbie was now starting to feel the venom start to leave his body, and he slowly got up to his feet. Ringo gave him a pat on the back.

"That was awesome. How did you do it?"

"I think that was just luck." Hubbie stated.

Roxie in the meantime, was getting jabbered by both Lucille and Allison.

"What are you doing? You were supposed to beat him." Lucille stated.

"Yeah, that was our target. But hey, I know whose going next at least." Allison said.

Most of the campers went outside and saw Richard standing outside the bus.

"How long were you there for?" Adrian asked.

"Not too long, only for about ten minutes or so. Now, why don't we head to the mansion to get to the vote?" Richard stated.

The campers went into the bus, and Richard went to the back again, to hang out and try and get some rest for the elimination that was coming up. Allison and Lucille cuddled up, and try and figure out where this thing was going to go.

"Lucille, do you think were a thing?" Allison asked.

"I don't know…I mean, you do cuddle next to me a lot, and we do know each other quite a bit now…so yes, I think were a thing." Lucille said.

"Just what I wanted to hear."

Allison kissed the check of Lucille, while Lucille blushed a little bit after. Adrian was looking in anger after that, and tried to talk to Hubbie and Ringo.

"Look guys, all we have to do is vote for Allison. She's the weakest person here, and she's been rude to me this entire time. Shouldn't we get her out?" Adrian asked.

"Yeah, I guess." Ringo said sheepishly.

"Okay, you just have to get Roxie and Carson on our side, and then were golden."

Adrian then decided to look at the interaction between Allison and Lucille again. Ringo and Hubbie then looked at one another.

"Do you really want to keep Adrian around?" Ringo asked.

"If I'm being completely honest, not really. Adrian has really fallen off a cliff after the break up, and he really doesn't do that well in challenge. The only thing he was good for was leading people, and now that there are no teams, he hasn't been that helpful. So I think he's just trying to sneak his way through this game." Hubbie explained.

Ringo nodded, agreeing with the explanation that was Hubbie had given.

Forty minutes later…

The campers who were left were situated on the chairs, while Talia was on the bench, watching the action unfold. The votes have already been casted, and the campers were now waiting who was safe.

"Okay, the votes are in, and again, the person with the votes will be eliminated and not receive a marshmallow. Now, Hubbie is the first one safe since he won the challenge." Richard said.

Hubbie grabbed his marshmallow, and he ate it. Nothing appeared to be inside.

"Next two safe are Lucille and Ringo."

They both held onto their marshmallow, and both ate out of it, looking at one another. Lucille had a serious look to her face, while Ringo had a more sympathetic look to him.

"Alright, next two that are safe are Carson and Roxie."

Both grabbed a hold of their marshmallows, and both got close to each other, happy that they were still in the game.

"Kris, you're safe."

Kris sighed, and took hold of the marshmallow that was to her, and she began eating her marshmallow. Now only Adrian and Allison were left.

"Well, it seems that you two are the last two left. Now, you started off as close friends to one another, and then Colleen got Adrian drugged. You somehow got over it after a while, and began to lead your team. But since the merge began, both of you have been lackluster here. I wouldn't mind seeing either of you go, since I don't think I can stand the constant badgering between you two."

"Well, he was the one that started it. He told me he reminded me of Colleen." Allison stated

"Hey, Colleen was the one that made me feel like crap. Don't put the blame on me." Adrian said.

"Guys, enough! Let's just get to the elimination. Now, the last person safe is…

…

…

…

…Allison"

Allison smirked as she received the last marshmallow. Adrian was disappointed, and he had his head down. When Chino came in, he didn't even have to put up a fight, as he put Adrian on his back, and the two of them went in the chamber. Hubbie and Ringo didn't like the way things looked, as the girls plus Carson had the power.

Meanwhile…

Uri had just finished up everything, and now was trying to come up with a challenge. He had been thinking about maybe doing something about a…giant fish or something like that, but he knew that sounded way to boring. He needed something that sounded interesting. He then got a text message from…Candice. Uri looked at the phone in concern.

Uri, I'm coming down tomorrow to meet you. I wanted to check in on you to see how things are going. If you get this message, please contact me when you can. See you soon.

Uri was really concerned with what he wanted to do here. He didn't tell Candice about Daisy yet, and he didn't know if he was going to be honest with her and tell her the truth. But he knew he needed to answer her. He was about to start texting, when he heard Daisy come into the room. Uri looked at her with a nervous glance, but what weirder him out was what she was wearing. She seemed to be wearing some overalls, with a yellow shirt with a blue flower in the center. She also appeared to be wearing boots as well. But the weirdest thing was the look on her face. She seemed to be smilling…almost sinisterly.

"whatcha doing?" Daisy asked softly.

"Oh, I was…just texting-"

"Candice right?"

"Yeah, her."

"You're not going to go back to her are you now?"

Uri was starting to feel really uncomfortable.

"I don't know, that's what I was considering."

"But your mine now. Daddy said so."

Uri was confused what she was talking about.

"Look, she coming here tomorrow. And I don't belong to anyone."

Daisy looked in the eyes of Uri, and then she began to wail. She went to the ground and started to pound her fist against the ground.

"Daddy, he doesn't want to cooperate. Make him stop Daddy."

"Who the hell is-"

Suddenly, he felt something hit him in the back of the head. Uri held his head, as he turned around and saw a large seven foot man, with a straw hat and a large body. That was the last thing Uri saw before everything went black.

Allison: "Adrian needs to go now. I can't stand to look at him anymore."

Adrian: "Allison, I really liked you. But Colleen really messed me up, and I you gave up on me when I was being honest. I can't stand you anymore."

Lucille: "Adrian, sorry about voting you, but you were the next down on the list. Don't worry; you weren't lost without a cause. Hubbie will lose the next challenge, and then he will be the next to go."

Kris: "Sorry Adrian. I really liked you before, but you just really seemed to be getting ruder, and I don't really like that. So, since I want to keep Allison in this game, I'm voting for you."

Roxie: "Geez, I don't fucking know. I don't really like Allison, but I think voting for Adrian will keep me on the good side of the group. I don't know if I should stay with them, or if I should switch sides."

Carson: "I vote for Adrian. Not because I'm with the group, is because I want to stop the arguing between him and Allison."

Hubbie: "Adrian, I'm voting for you. Honestly, I feel like you have been coasting through the game ever since the merge started. Sure, I respect you as a leader. But you need to become more than that, and I just don't believe you can do that based on how far we've gone."

Ringo: "I'm voting for you Adrian, because I feel like you have been here longer than expected because other competition were still in the game, and an unexpected group formed late. I just hope I can survive this."

And the intensity is back up. Now, I think the next person to go was easy, and I felt that person was Adrian. At the beginning of this game, I think he was the main guy. But then, he was drugged by Colleen, and she forced him to have sex with her. That obviously messed with his mind once he was cured of the drug, and he was never truly the same. Sure, he led his team after he came back, but the relationship between Allison and Adrian never recovered. Once the merge hit, Adrian didn't have anyone to lead, and the others realized that Adrian was trying to coast through the game, so they decided to eliminate him after the fact. Now, more questions are trying to be answered. What has happened to the orb? What did you think of Adrian? Why was VC following the group? And what the hell happened to Uri? More soon.
