Nora's P.O.V
I can't believe I am actually here! If your wondering what i'm talking about. I'm actually talking about being on Total Drama! Crazy right? It's like every person's dream to be on TV! Well this is the 4th season after all. And who would have thought that I would be one of the 14 players to be in it. I am not even Canadian to begin with. Well since I am from Wisconsin, and that's right next to Canada, but nevermind that, cause now i'm now on the boat heading to Camp Wawanakwa where it all started.
I wasn't sure at first to audition for this, I mean how could I possibly be chosen? There wasn't much chance to be on this show. Guess, there's no turning back now to this.
I looked around me seeing other teens my age at least, and I already know what are the bad ones or something as I observered their doings. Like there's that tomboy girl with jeans and a hoodie at the front of the boat. Who she's right next to that gingered haired guy, and I don't like the looks of him, and did he just sniff his armpit?! Ew! Guys can be gross sometimes. There's also this nice pair, one guy with dark hair and tan skin with him is the pigtailed red-hair girl with a flower on her head. I think that guy is crushing on her. Maybe can I make friends with them? That's until a black athlete guy shoved them abruptly flexing his muscles. Well unlike him I am one two. But what really caught my attention next was this army guy, well he did have a buzz cut hair and army dog tags around his neck. He caught the red-hair girl before he droped her to form a salute.
"Brick MacArthur, reporting for duty!" He yelled out.
'Brick huh?' I thought as I keep looking at him, gotta admit he looks kinda cute for a soldier in training.
Next to him was a big fella with a cap facing backwards he hadn't said anything as the pale blond girl who was sitting in an meditating position commented his um, aura? Maybe the guy was mute? Anyways a few feet away from me where three girls. The first one was a tan skined blond-haired girl wearing sun glasses. She looked like a wealthy person. Dakota her name is as she spoke. But her intro didn't lasted long as a latina girl with tan and poofy hair wearing alot of hairspray spoke up. After Dakota shoved her, she fired back at her with her hairspray. The third girl came along, she has short brown hair with a bow on her head. She was rambling some fake story about her family member and she appears to have a German accent. But she was then shoved off by the latina girl's hairspray.
"Fresh air, a real lake, birds!" I looked over me as a short tin black kid with glasses looked amazed by the surroundings. Until a flock of pigeons shoved him off the edge.
I immediately ran to help him. I caught him in my arms just as he was about to hit the floor.
"Hey thanks!" He replied somewhat relieved.
"No problem." I added as I put him down. "I'm Nora."
"Nice to meet you, i'm Cameron." He said adjusting his glasses. "Your actually the first person i've interacted so far."
"Huh?" I was confused by this.
"I kinda spend my whole life in a bubble if your wondering." He explained. Wait? Bubble? Did this guy has an overprotective parent or something? "So I never had any friends..." He saddly sighed.
I put my hand over his shoulder. "Well, now you do, I never had friends either, so I guess your my first one too."
"My first friend!" Cameron threw his hands out with glee.
But the sound of a video game caught our attention as we saw a guy with short curly hair and glasses so focus on his game. "Oh yeah, grenade luncher upgrade."
I turned back to Cameron and shruged.
But after a few seconds, a big explosion send all of us flying in the air. Before send us back down, I was lucky to land in the water I was able to grab what's left of the boat to help me float. Cameron on the other hand wasn't as lucky as everyone else, he landed straight to a rock! I immediately swam as fast as I could to reach to him. Once he was at the surface, he was struggling to keep himself from drowning. That same ginger hair guy swam pass him, and didn't even help him! Instead he called him a spaz?! What a selfish jerk! He is so going down this season.
I held Cameron on with my other arm as he grip on the debris I was holding. "Nora! You saved me!"
"Hang on tight, i'll carry us to shore!" I immediately paddled my legs to reach the beach. It was going smoothly, till that tomboy shoved us on purpose making me lose my grip. Cameron was still holding on to the debris as he was flotting away! I was now scared, I struggled to swim cause I am at one of the deep parts of it.
"Help! She can't swim without a support!" Cameron called out worried for help.
As soon as he said that I immediately sank down holding my breath as tight as possible. I was terrified, is this how my life is going to end? The adrenaline in me rushed as I tried to swim back up but no vail. But despite being underwater I heard a splash from a distance. But before I could see who it was, I couldn't hold my breath anymore and gasp my lungs out. After that the mysterious figure grabed me and pulled me out to breath out the fresh air.
I cough off the water out of me as I gasp for air once more. I held on to my rescuer as Cameron was swiming a few inches from us.
"Nora! Are you okay?" He called out reliefed to see me.
"Yeah, thanks." I said giving him a smile of gratitude. "Still feeling wet tough..."
After what seemed forever we finally reached shore. Finally! Cameron immediately ran off to dry his glasses. As for me, well, my rescuer carried me in bridal style as they walked on shore right next to that same tomboy who almost drowned me! They dropped me back to my feet.
"Here you go Ma'am, save and sound." My heart immediately started to beat as I heard that voice. I looked up to see, Brick?! He had saved me?! Oh man, the soldier in training, the one who I thought was cute, has saved my life?!
"Uh, oh, um, thank you so much!" I studered like a shy girl as I tried not to panic as I blushed looking at him in the eyes with that smile of his. "Really, I do, you just saved my butt back there."
"No need, it's kind of what I do." He put his hand on my shoulder, I freeze! 'Oh man, okay, calm down Nora. Just don't do anything to embarrass yourself..!' But then the mute guy came out of the water like it was nothing. He litterly walked out of it! He wasn't coughing or anything, I watched in perplexed. Then I noticed that same pale blonded haired girl who was meditating. "Huh, how come you are not wet?" I asked her.
"I used a shortcut." She replied.
"But, there wasn't even..." I was baffled too speak. "Gah, nevermind!" I stormed off had enough of this water experience for now.
After a while everyone was finally at shore. We all sat down by the rocks near the water. That ginger guy was empting his shoes with water just from afar from us.
I was sitting right behind the mute guy as we listened to the German girl's fake story. I decided to stand up and walk far from where I can't hear her. Having wet clothes wasn't bad enough than almost drowning, and then being saved by a cute soldier in training. Can this day get any worse?
But just then the gamer guy came out with his mini-game console as he cough out a small fish. Guess we have a game addict here. I was sometimes like that whenever I would buy a new video game from the game store back home. So I can somehow relate to him.
Then the siren horns screatched as a voice spoke up. "Attention fresh meat!" I heard upon me the voice of Chris McLean, the host of the show. "See the trail leading to the forest? Race to the end of the trail and do not disturb the wildlife. That would be bad."
"Yeah, we wouldn't want to upset the bunnies." Lightning as the athlete guy's name is joked about it to Sam, the gamer guy.
But then Chris said something else. "The tiniest sound can set them off. Like this." A loud sound of an foghorn blasted out, we immediately covered our ears wincing. Just then a loud roar followed by trees falling caused us to panic. We all screamed as we made a run for it!
I may not be as fast as most of them, but at least I wasn't last. "Adventure Girl, Team B!" Chris called me out as I made it before Anne-Maria. I walked to see that Brick was also on my team! I guess faith wanted me too. But glad to see that Cameron and I are on the same team as well. We gave each other a high-five before going back to being in position.
After that all the team members have been selected we where all wondering what was that sound in the forest.
No one's P.O.V
"What the heck was that thing in the forest?" Scott asked.
"I"m pretty sure that cry doesn't belong to any known animal species!" Cameron explained with a worried tone.
"Relax, it'll all make sense eventually." Then the show's host started to laugh like crazy. Which maked everyone concerned about his unusual behaviour. "Now, this season of Total Drama will be a little bit different. For example in every episode, someone will be eliminated."
Most of the teams gasped in surprise. "It's never been that hard before..." Zoey pointed out.
"I know, i'm good. But since you're all first-timers, i'm gonna cut you a break and hide this bad boy somewhere in the campgrounds." Chris pulled out from his buggy a small wooden statue of his head. "A genuine McLean brand Chris head! Your free ticket back into the game! Even if your teammates vote you off. Whoever finds it will become the most powerful player in Total Drama history!" Despite most of them being a bit confused, they got the idea. "Is the cleft of my chin really that big?"
"Yep, and it looks like a butt." Scott teased.
Chris frowned before continuing. "Moving on, time for the team names."
"Team Lightning! No wait, Lightning Squad!" Lightning called out.
"Great suggestions Lightning. But names heave already been chosen by moi." He pointed at the first team. "Team A, you shall henceforth be, the Toxic Rats!" A green logo of a mutant rat appeared over them.
"Heh, killer." Sam chuckled.
Then the show's host pointed the other team. "And Team B. You are hereby dubbed the Mutant Maggots!" A red logo of a mutant magot appeared over the other team.
"Um, what's with all the references to chemical waste?" Mike wondered.
Suddenly, that same loud roar echoed even louder around them.
"I think I have an idea about it!" Nora studered.
"It's the monster!" Cameron panicked as trees where falling from a few feet away as it got closer.
But it was just a hairless Squirrel that caused it. "Hey, it's just a stupid Squirrel." Jo complainded.
Nora's P.O.V
Turns out Chris had rented the Island to a family of a waste disposal company after season 1. Like what was he thinking?! Everyone knows that toxic waste can change the environnement around it if expose for to long. Now I understand why this season is called 'Revenge of the Island'. I mentaly faceplamed myself as I cringed, now regreting auditioning for this show. But as long as I don't die, I just might made it home safe. I hope.
But, the good news is that my team won a trampoline thanks to Jo. While the Rats only won a hack saw. Chef eventually fell off the trampoline. But what made me laugh was when Jo got trampled by it, right after Lightning had recived the hack saw right in the face. Served her right for almost drowning me! That's until I saw Chris pulled out a bomb. I knew it was him! Why else would the boat had exploded?! Okay, now I really regret entering this show.
Just to let you know that Nora won't be the only one getting a P.O.V in this fanfic.
