Total Drama Island

Chapter 7

Ellie's POV:

I felt Kayla gripping my wrist tightly, but that didn't concern me as Katie shouted out for Bryce, who had snuck out of the mess hall with Scott. They must have seen Kelly and freaked and Ezekiel got a hold of them and now both lay dead where they stood. Tom, Sarah, and Clarisse were peering out of the door their eyes wide.

"Come on," Kayla whispered to me and I looked at her and saw that Sasha and Amber were creeping around the adults towards the woods and ushering for us to go with them. Kayla and I slowly stepped back and then hurried after Sasha and Amber and then when we were hidden in the forest I dropped to my knees and felt tears rushing to escape from my eyes, but I tried to keep them away.

"It's okay Ellie, we'll avenge his death," Amber whispered putting her arm comfortingly around me.

"Why was he being so stupid?" I asked quietly and then a thought suddenly brimmed in my head and it pricked like a nasty thorn in your side. "He was coming to make sure I was okay," I whispered and Kayla looked at me skeptically.

"You can't be sure of anything," Sasha murmured, but I shook my head.

"Scott even though he's the youngest always been pretty protective over Clarisse and I," I explained gently. "Nearly got him killed once for Clarisse and me," I added and then laughed. "He was checking on me, making sure I was okay and because of me he's dead," I sobbed and Sasha sighed sympathetically.

"We've got to do something and now," Amber said sternly. "Amy, Kelly, Scott, Bryce, and who knows who else is dead and we just can't let those damn psychos get away with it," Amber added and I looked up at her.

"What are we supposed to do, sneak back into the kitchen grab a couple of butcher knives and start chasing Eva and Ezekiel?" I snapped angrily and Kayla delicately helped me to my feet.

"That is not what I was implying," Amber said. We were face to face, fury burning within both of our eyes, but then Sasha and Kayla dragged us apart.

"Stop it both of you," Sasha said, but it didn't stop as Amber knocked Sasha to the ground and barreled into me. I felt her fist connect with my cheek and Sasha's many attempts to get Amber to stop, but Amber just kept scratching and punching my arm and it hurt, but then I jumped when Kayla let out a bloodcurdling scream that echoed dangerously throughout the forest. Amber stopped and Sasha was able to pull her off and I stood up rubbing my cheek as the pain started.

"What'd you do that for?" Amber asked.

"You two wouldn't stop, and Sasha's plan wasn't working, so I screamed to get you to stop," Kayla said and Amber growled angrily. "What? It worked," Kayla said, but Amber whipped around to face her.

"Yes, but now everyone knows we're out here," Amber shouted angrily and then suddenly I felt myself moving, but that was because I was being dragged. I reached up to my neck and then I felt sticky blood rushing over my hand and then I heard the hysterical screams and calls of Kayla and then everything went black.

Jake's POV:

Meghan…Meghan, that was the only thing on my mind, besides the fact that my arms hurt and my head was throbbing. Outside the medical tent I heard a soft weeping and I wondered what the hell it was all about. I sat up and groaned as my head throbbed even more fiercely, but I stood up and went towards the entrance anyway. I opened the small flap and sitting there on the ground, crying was Meghan. I darted to her side and placed my hand on her shoulder and she looked up at me and I felt helplessly confused.

"Jake," Meghan gasped and I pulled her into a tight hug.

"Meghan what's wrong?" I asked.

"Jake its terrible," Meghan sobbed. "Eva and Ezekiel they killed her," Meghan added and I felt horrified and confused.

"What?" I said, but Meghan just shook her head. After a while I started to try to calm her down and when she finally did stop crying she looked really scared and horrified when I asked her what really happened. "Well, it's a long story," Meghan began and I smiled and stood up and helped her up as well. I nodded towards the tent and smiled and Meghan faintly smiled back. I put my arm around her and we walked into the tent together and then we sat down. Meghan then began explaining the whole story from the beginning, which was being taken into the dining hall by Eva and Ezekiel. I listened intently as she told me what had happened until the moment when she had run for it, when Kelly had beamed Eva in the head with a rock.

"That is just plain harsh," I whispered and Meghan nodded. I still had my arm around her and neither of us was objecting so I just kept it there. We sat there silently for a few minutes, but then I turned as she cleared her throat and suddenly she was kissing me. It only lasted a few seconds and when we broke apart, my arm fell from her shoulder and we sat a few inches apart. I was slightly shocked, but Meghan was looking mortified as if not even believing the reality that she had just kissed her. I was about to say something then spotted something, a book, lying open by the head of the cot. I stood up and moved past Meghan and bent over the book. Meghan soon appeared at my side and we flipped through page after page of chants, spells, and other mindless crap and it made no sense. Finally Meghan flipped the book closed and we both gasped as we read the title of the book. The book was called; Bringing Back the Dead; Expert Copy

"What the hell?" Meghan whispered as she stroked the spine of the book. Meghan then picked up the book and squinted at some small blue ink along the spine of the book. "Oh my god," Meghan said and I looked and saw that the blue ink said: Property to Izzy. Suddenly someone crashed into the tent behind us and we whirled around face to face with Izzy herself. I grabbed the book and held it up for her to see.

"Would you like to explain a few things?"

Parents' POV:

Everyone was in a slump. About 5 of our kids were dead and nothing looked good and things just seemed to get worse. Suddenly screams split the air coming from the air. Gwen glanced at Trent in alarm, she knew that scream anywhere.

"That is definitely Kayla," Gwen murmured all hope for her only daughter's survival slimming.

"Wait, listen," Bridgette said quietly and they all fell silent and more screams suddenly hit the air, still Kayla's this time however they could make out the words.

"ELLIE! ELLIE NO! NO…LET ME GO…ELLIE! ELLIE, COME BACK! ELLIE, ELLIE, ELLIE!" Kayla screamed hysterically. Gwen felt relieved, but then heard choked cries from Sadie. She had already just lost Scott and now Ellie, she must be in so much pain.

"Not Ellie too," Sadie whispered quietly.

"Wait," Owen said and looked around nervously. "Where'd Izzy go?" Owen asked and everyone instantly looked around and sighed.

"Great, now more of our kids are going to die," Courtney muttered. Just as she said that another scream hit the air, but it wasn't Kayla's, it was way more high-pitched more girly. Gwen turned to look at Bridgette and Geoff, Sasha and Amber had gone with Kayla and Ellie into the woods.

"God damn it I can't tell which one it is," Bridgette muttered angrily. Everyone was waiting.

"AMBER!" Sasha's recognizable voice was now high-pitched definitely with fear.

"No," Bridgette whispered and Geoff pulled her into a hug.

"Oh Leshawna," Ezekiel stood at the entrance to the fire pit dangling what looked like a necklace. Leshawna looked horrified and everyone guessed it must be Kelly's.

"You sick pig," Leshawna snapped as she went over and grabbed the necklace away from Leshawna.

"I try," Ezekiel whispered and soon he turned and was gone.

Zack's POV:

"ELLIE! ELLIE NO! NO…LET ME GO…ELLIE! ELLIE, COME BACK! ELLIE, ELLIE, ELLIE!" Kayla screamed hysterically. We could hear Kayla all the way in the dining hall and I felt horrified and terrible. I hadn't even been able to kiss Ellie and now she was…gone.

"Come on let's just go," Max at one point said out loud. At first plenty of people objected, but then slowly more people agreed seeing it as a better idea.

"We can go meet our parents, they'll protect us," Carrie said and then Kayla and Sasha burst into the dining hall and shut the door and both just stood there panting, not even caring we were there.

"Kayla, Sasha," Clarisse said and Kayla and Sasha just looked at us still panting.

"What's been happening?" Mike ordered and then Sasha started sobbing pitifully. Kayla looked on the verge of doing so also, but she somehow didn't.

"Well, last time I checked 6 of us have died so far," Kayla whispered sinking to the ground.

"What?" Tom asked in disbelief. Kayla was staring at the floor probably keeping herself from crying.

"Scott, Bryce, Kelly, Amy, Ellie, and Amber," Sasha whispered, saying Amber's name delicately.

"no," Clarisse gasped and I glanced around at her and saw Carrie trying to comfort her, but no doubt she was beyond upset. Two of her siblings had died, but even though Ellie wasn't related to me I still felt like part of my heart was now missing.

"What about Meghan?" Alex asked quietly.

"Neither of us have seen her," Kayla whispered.

"Now we really have to get out of here," I said. "We'll all just make a run for the fire pit," I added and everyone nodded.

"Actually different plans are in order," Izzy, Jake, and Meghan walked through the back door.

"What are you talking about?" Carrie asked staring at the book that lay in her mother's hand. "Wait, mom no," Carrie suddenly gasped.

"Can you think of any other way Carrie?" Izzy asked and then she set down the book on the ground. Bringing Back the Dead; Expert Copy is what the book title was.

"Does it really work?" Clarisse asked intrigued.

"Of course it does," Izzy said smiling.

"You brought back the cat mom, not actually people," Carrie muttered.

"hush," Everyone said to Carrie who rolled her eyes.

"Whether Carrie, Max, or Mark want to admit it or not, I can bring basically anything back from the dead, even people," Izzy said and Kayla stared wide-eyed at Izzy.

"You're going to bring back everyone's that died, then?" Kayla asked and Izzy smiled.

"Yes, but I need your help," Izzy said signaling to all of us. I couldn't help, but feel hopeful maybe the one person that I actually loved would be able to be with me, laughing at my jokes or just plain being there at all.
