Yo! It's me again, Jinks. I want to once again thank you guys for your sweet reviews! I aim to please my fans (well, my sister's fans, this is her fan fiction)! Anyway, this next chapter is with Courtney. It's a lot longer than her first chapter.

Disclaimer: Come on! I think we all know that I don't own TDI by now. If I did, this would be an episode.

Chapter 9: Courtney (Again)

Bridgette, DJ, Geoff, and I carefully carried Duncan between us. We tried to go as fast as we could without jolting him. This was really hard to do when we were running through a forest, trying not to trip over anything. Our goal was to get back to Camp Wawanakwa before it got too dark out, otherwise getting back without tripping would be ten times as difficult.

Thankfully, we made it back just as the last ray of sunlight disappeared. The camp was lit up with torches and we found everyone at the fire pit, waiting for us. When they saw Duncan, they all immediately rushed to help us.

"What happened to him?" Leshawna asked, truly concerned.

"We don't know," I replied. "We found him this way. This is bad, there's no nurse on the island! What do we do?"

We all stood there. "Well," Trent began awkwardly, "We could take him to Chris and Chef Hatchet."

"So they can completely murder him? No way!" I growled.

"Think about it, Courtney," Bridgette reasoned, "Chris and Chef will actually want to help. Otherwise, they'll go to jail."

"Yeah, and besides," Geoff added, "Chris told us to come to him if anything happened."

I sighed, admitting defeat. "All right." I muttered. "Let's go."

We picked up Duncan and carried him to Chris and Chef. As soon as they saw him, Chris told Chef to set up the medical tent. Grumbling, Chef did as he was told.

I stayed by Duncan's side as Chef did many strange (and very much unusual) tests on him. As he checked his blood pressure, he started to pump way too much air into it.

"Uh, Chef?" I said. He looked at me then at Duncan and quickly removed the pump.

"Hm, I need bandages," Chef concluded, "Stay here girly." Then he left.

"Um ok," I muttered. I turned to Duncan. His eyes were peacefully closed, almost as if was asleep, instead of dying.

I don't know when I did, but eventually fell asleep. And I had a dream. A strange dream. I was floating in white space. There was a strange humming noise in my ears that sounded really far away. Then, a figure started to form in front of me. I thought I knew who it was, but I couldn't place my finger on it. Suddenly, the humming got louder and louder and the figure started to fade. Just when I thought my ears were going to burst, I woke up.

Glancing around, I saw that I was still in the hospital tent with Duncan. Chef Hatchet was nowhere to be seen.

"You look like you just rolled out of bed, Princess," a voice startled me. I looked down and saw Duncan smiling wickedly at me. He was awake!

"Duncan!" I exclaimed, "You're alive!"

"Or as alive as I'll ever be," he corrected.

"It's a good thing Ulga told us where to find you, or you might've been still lying in the forest!" I explained.

He gave me a confused look. "Who's Ulga?" he asked.

"An old woman with a cottage in the woods," I explained. "She said she saw you and tried to call to you, but you ignored her."

"You mean the old hag?" Duncan wondered, "The one with the pipe?" I nodded. "I talked to her. She kept asking if I wanted tea. She also told me that she saw strange people walking around the island and showed me which way they went."

Now I was confused. "You talked to the old lady?" I confirmed. "Then that means she was lying to us!"

Le gasp! Why would the old lady do this? Could she really be the murderer in disguise? Well I wouldn't know because MY SISTER WON'T TELL ME!!! So I guess we'll just have to keep reading… and reviewing…

Next is Cody. Joyness!
