Chapter 5: Scare Fest
I'm going to let Gabby write this chapter. She's good at scaring people. Anyway, explanation for something: Gabby writes the chapters in script form, I just change them to normal writing. So if it's a little vague… blame Gabby. Or take it up with Mike. As for last chapter…I'm sorry! Don't eat me! BLAME GABBY! SHE WROTE MOST OF THE LAST CHAPTER! I JUST CHANGED IT FROM SCRIPT! Oh, and this is the chapter where you figure out just why the story is rated T (lots of cursing is involved.). I don't control Gabby's thoughts. And I did a confession cam for every camper, so you can't get mad at me.
Gabby sat on the dock of shame, playing with a Nintendo DS. She looked up at the camera.
"Hola, people of Earth and Jupiter! You know what happened last week, Chris is in the hospital due to an incident with sharks, Vannie seems to have disappeared (cough), and it's Halloween! Yay! That's me and Laila's favorite holiday, by the way. Laila's putting her costume right now and she should be here any minute and…" there was the sounds of footsteps. Gabby turned around.
"Oh my God, woman! What are you wearing?" Gabby stared in shock. Laila stood on the dock, wearing knee-high black boots, a black miniskirt, a black jacket that cut off right below her ribcage, black tights, red and black kitty ears, black whiskers drawn with eyeliner, black lipstick, and her hair had been dyed blue and green. She smiled at Gabby's reaction.
"Now I see why your dad said you looked like a Gothic slut!" Gabby shouted. Laila smiled.
"On to the Scare Fest! Happy Halloween!" Laila shouted.
Title Sequence
"Finish the haunted house! Dammit, Sebastian, the gravy doesn't go in this room, it's in the room 5 doors down!" Gabby was marching through the refurbished gym, screaming at Sebastian to finish decorating. Laila was sitting in a corner of one of the rooms, listening to something by Audioslave.
As for the campers, they were all sleeping, blissfully unaware of how they were going to be woken up this morning. Gabby looked at her watch, smiled, and pressed the button to the intercom just as Laila was turning off her iPod. Barbie Girl suddenly blared over the intercom.
"OMIGOD! I TOLD YOU NOT TO PLAY THAT SONG! IT MAKES MY EARDRUMS BLEED!" Laila screamed, quickly turning her iPod back on and changing it to Metallica. She gave a sigh of relief.
Across the camp, multitudes of screams and shouts of "My eardrums!" were heard. Zach burst out of his cabin, holding scissors and looking very angry.
"I have had it with that stupid intercom!" Zach shouted. He quickly walked over to the intercom, where several wires were near the ground. Quickly he cut them all up, and the song died almost instantly. Laila stared in shock.
"My intercom…" she whined. Without another thought, she burst out crying.
"What did the poor innocent intercom ever do to you besides make your eardrums bleed on a daily basis?" she cried. Sebastian walked over to Laila and dragged her away.
"Come on, Laila. Let's go get your meds." Laila fought for a few seconds, then walked away.
"Okay!" Gabby shouted as the 3-dozen people walked out of their cabins, grumbling, shouting, and in a few people's case, throwing rocks.
"Hi people! Since it is Halloween, we are doing a Scare Fest. Each camper will have to face their worst fear…or an extreme dislike of theirs put to extremes. The gym has been organized in a very complicated maze. Throughout it, you will encounter doors. You have to enter. If you don't, you will not be safe and there is a high chance you'll be voted off. Have fun!" Gabby stepped away from the gym, which was decorated with black cloth, spiders, and a ton of Halloween decorations. The 36 teens stepped inside.
It was a maze inside, and somehow in less than 12 hours, the three 13-year-olds had managed to get gauze-draped sheetrock up, along with doors. Several people turned to Gabby in surprise.
"How?" Serlenia asked, staring in shock. Gabby smiled.
"The amazing power of time machines."
"Wha…never mind." Serlenia said. Everybody walked in, looking at the doors.
"Have fun!" Gabby shouted, slamming the door. They could hear the click of a lock and then were plunged into darkness. Suddenly, one by one, dim red light bulbs strewn across the ceiling at about 6 feet intervals came on, one by one. The teens looked at each other. No visible cameras. Unidentifiable noises. Creepy much?
They walked for about 5 minutes through various narrow hallways, twists and turns, and creaky floorboards before they came to the first door. Alana, who was in the lead, carefully opened it and they rushed in, due to the fact it was much brighter. They smiled and looked around the room, which was painted like a regular bedroom. But something was…off about this room.
Gracie's sudden scream alerted them to the problem. Everyone turned to her and she pointed down. Everybody looked to see a very elaborate paint job showing a floor that had broken, a glimpse of blue sky and clouds, and what looked like far down below, farmland. Gracie, Serlenia, Effie, and Terry all froze.
"Grace, Serlenia, Effie, and Terry. Thank you for participating. You must now stay here." A crackly voice that nobody recognized came over an unseen intercom. Grace, Serlenia, Effie, and Terry all stared at each other. They had to stay here? In the room with their worst fear?
"This isn't fair!" Terry shouted. Effie and Serlenia joined in the shouting match with the invisible intercom. Grace just looked sick.
"Gracie…?" Zach began. Grace didn't reply, but fainted. Her brother barely caught her in time. Carefully he leaned her against the wall so that she couldn't get hurt.
Part of the wall slid away, revealing another door. The 32 teens who were still allowed to move on walked forward, into a dark room. There was the faint sound of something moving, and several of the girls screamed that something had ran over their feet.
A light bulb suddenly turned on and four people screamed the loudest. Inside the room was a very large amount of snakes - milk snakes, to be exact – spiders, moths, mice, and rats.
"Oh my god! It's like Alfred Hitchcock, but without birds!" Aya screamed. Several of the boys were trying to squish the numerous spiders.
"Kenny, Allister, Aya, Spicer. You four lucky people are the ones who get to stay in here. And no killing anything!" the crackly voice came over the intercom.
"SCREW YOU!" Aya shouted. Several people stepped away cautiously.
Another door opened and the slowly dwindling number of teens stepped through.
Inside was something very…odd, to say the least. Shown on an overhead screen was dark thunderclouds, with lightning flashing through the sky. Somehow, it sounded like rain and thunder, all at once. There was a very narrow pathway through the room. On one side was fire, rising extremely high but surrounded by fireproof cloth or something, and on the other, deep water filled with floating ice about an inch thick. Ellie started shouting.
"How do they know all this? How do they know all of our worst fears? DAMMIT!" Ellie screamed.
"Audrey, Ellie, Katy, Becca, Cariba, Charity. You are the ones staying here."
The next room was an extremely narrow hallway, only about a foot wide. And the walls seemed to be getting smaller. The same creepy voice came on.
"Nikki, I'm sorry, but you and Rosetta need to stay here." It said. Krm mumbled something about it probably being Gabby before the floor opened up and swallowed her. Nobody noticed at first.
As everyone went to the next room, they could hear Nikki and Rosetta scream.
The voice came back on. "Ok, campers if you hadn't noticed, there is only 20 - actually 19 - of you left, so enjoy!" The campers looked around. There was only 19 people. Where the hell was Krm? That's when they noticed what was on the table. Sitting on a plate was ramen cookies, dipped in gravy, and served with McDonalds French fries
Colette began screaming and cursing in French. Alana's pupils grew about twice their normal size.
"Gravy…" she began. After a moment's pause, she screamed. "I'M GOING TO DIE HERE!"
"Bwhahahahaha! Next room, please."
The remaining 18 campers walked into the next room cautiously. As they were gone, they thought they heard something. And they did.
"It would be more fun to torture Karma with ketchup, though."
Meanwhile, at the hotel
Karma lay by a swimming pool as one of the lifeguards filed her nails for her.
"This is nice."
Haunted house
The 17 people shuddered and ran to the next room. This time, the door behind them slammed since Alana was lunging her way to the door, wanting to get the hell out, but she failed due to Laila's all-powerful remote that controlled everything. And I mean everything. The room was dark except for a silhouette, which was suddenly illuminated. Standing there was Krm, wearing nothing but a bikini and a bow tie.
"Hey Dante." Krm said, doing a cat growl. Dante rubbed his nose – somehow he had gotten a nosebleed – and stared at Krm's wolf ears and tail.
"Are they …r-real?" he stuttered. Krm posed momentarily and Vannie mumbled something under her breath about Krm going insane.
"Yup!" she lunged toward Dante, Satine, and Lita, who all screamed.
"She's a werewolf?" Lita shouted. Seeing Krm now headed towards her, she turned and ran.
The three ran away while Krm chased them as opera music played in the background. Krm and Gabby's pet crocodiles, deer, wolves, hound dogs, and a Shih Tzu chased after Lita, Satine, Dante, Todd and now Tyson. Krm stopped, picked up the Shih Tzu, and put it in a glass box with holes at the top. Somehow, the poor dog was now wearing a Halloween costume.
Jude panicked. "NO! THE ANIMAL CRUELTY! I CAN'T HELP IT! Wait a second, yes I can."
Production Studio
Gabby, Sebastian and Laila were sitting in what could be best described as a theater, sitting and eating popcorn, and watching the campers on a very large theater screen. Gabby was crossing off a list of the campers who were being scared, and for some reason she had a microphone.
Laila looked at Gabby curiously.
"Deer? What do antlered mammals have to do with anything?" she asked.
On the screen, Todd suddenly screamed in a very high-pitched voice.
Gabby stared at her as if she was an idiot. "Yes, deer. It's Todd's worst fear. See? Antlered mammals do have something to do with this challenge."
"Yes, but why do you and Krm have them as pets?" Laila asked.
"For various reasons." Gabby paused for a minute. "I'm having fun. Are you having fun?" she asked. Laila stared.
"I can't answer that with a straight face." Laila said as calmly as she could, but it was obvious she was trying not to laugh.
Sebastian raised an eyebrow. "I worry about you two." Laila nodded and looked at her cell phone to see the time.
"Hey, don't we have to get down there now?" she asked, showing Gabby the time. Gabby nodded.
"To the teleporter!" They both shouted simultaneously, leaving Sebastian dumbstruck.
"What?" Sebastian half-shouted. Gabby and Laila ignored him and ran off.
Back at the haunted house
"You try, you die." Krm said firmly. Seeing now that everybody was staring at her, she grabbed her clothes off a nearby table and quickly pulled them on, running after the crowd.
"See? Now there are 12 of you left." The voice came on.
Vanesa collapsed onto the ground. "No! Dante-kun!" she cried. Krm quickly put her hand over her friend's mouth, trying to get her to be quiet. Vanesa responded by biting Krm's hand, causing Krm to hit Vanesa on the head.
The scary voice suddenly changed. "SHUT UP AND STOP BIING PEOPLE, VANNIE!" Everybody stared, except for Vanesa and Krm, who had gotten into a mild fight.
The voice changed back to normal. "Laila, what did I tell you about taking my voice changer microphone?!"
A voice in the background responded. "To never touch it unless you give it to me. Hey Gabby, do you think they can hear us?" Several people looked at each other in confusion.
The person, who everybody could tell now was Gabby, responded rather loudly. "Laila, shut the fuck up! I'm running this haunted house…oh …shit…well…BOOOO! People come on! Shudder! Do something! OK fine, be that way. Go die by your fears and not by me, your host, for now and the rest of the show!"
Haley stared, confused. "What happen to Chris?" she asked, concerned now that their original host had disappeared.
"He won't be coming back for he has ran away, afraid we would… ok that I would kill him." Gabby explained.
Haley nodded. "I see."
"Next room!"
The last 12 remaining campers walk to the next torture chamber – er, room.
The room had a black ceiling with a dirt floor. Standing there was 8 nurses, each holding 8 needles.
Dakota suddenly started screaming. "NO! OH MY GOD! WHY NEEDLES? HOW DO THEY KNOW ALL THIS?" she shouted.
Krm leaned over to whisper to Vanesa. "Hasn't someone back there by a few rooms already said that?" she asked. Vanesa nodded.
It was a hospital/graveyard theme, hence the needles, and replacing the patients were tombstones saying RIP, here lies so and so, etc. The floor where they were standing was actually made of red bridges. Due to all this Zach, Riley, and Raphael all went into terror, along with Dakota. The three who had recently noticed their worst fears started screaming various things.
"WHAT? NO! WHY ARE THEY TORTURING US LIKE THIS?!" Zach screamed.
"GYAAH!" Riley bolted and ended up running into a pole. "Ow! GYAAH!"
"WE'RE GOING TO DIE IN THIS HORRIBLE, TWISTED PLACE!" Raphael was desperately searching for a way out as he screamed.
"Ryan this is an order!" Gabby suddenly shouted. Ryan looked around, now very frightened.
"Yes ma'am…?" he began.
"Get the 8 people left to go into the next room before I go down there and go bipolar on your ass." Even though they knew it was Gabby, everybody was now extremely 8 of them ran into the next room, being pushed by Ryan, and were followed by a slamming door behind them. They all stood around in the completely dark room.
"The lights are off." Ben said. Jane rolled her eyes, finally speaking since they had arrived.
"Great way to point out the obvious, stupid." She almost shouted. Ben glared.
Ben nearly lunged at her. "Shut up!"
Jane glared. "You want some of this?" she shouted, holding up her fist.
Lyee rolled her eyes. "Both of you, shut the hell up! I'm getting annoyed since I'm in the middle…again!" she shouted. All were silent. The lights suddenly turned on and there is a boat waiting there for them. Standing in it was Gabby and Laila. Obviously, Gabby was smiling maniacally.
"Hop in, campers!" she said. Laila was ignoring her, and had gone back to listening to her iPod and playing with a lighter and hairspray, which really wasn't turning out that well due to the fact she kept burning herself on accident. Gabby's face was illuminated, due to the fact that she wanted people to see how much she was enjoying the trauma.
Gabby smiled, a hint of insanity in her face. "Don't worry, it's going to be fine. Trust me for once. Now hop in! Vannie, Krm, this is not for you."
The other 6 - besides Krm and Vanesa - were worried, exchanging confused and frightened looks, thinking, yup, we are all going to die.
The boat wasn't that bad if you liked something like It's a Small World, although this boat ride had pictures of marriage, serious stuff like school, and the real life. Ryan and Ben started telling each other stuff like "It's going to be fine" and "No, it's not. This is serious!" Jane was just there next to them, fear in her eyes.
"Oh…my ….god…" she began, followed by "this….is…hell." With the next little part coming up, it was all lovey heart stuff this, lovey heart stuff that lovey heart stuff everywhere. Everybody thought right then they would either snap or die.
The boat suddenly stopped. Nearby there was another boat. There were names carved onto the side that read Jane, Haley, Alicia, Lyee, Krm, Vanesa. The six girls exchanged concerned looks. Those people quickly hopped in the boat and waited, as the two screaming people left to go for another ride. The 6 remaining campers went down a river to find…
Club Libby Lu
The pink place these last campers thought was hell on earth, as you all should know, had pink, sparkles, glitter, and makeup everywhere. The boat came to a stop and everybody cautiously walked off. The six remaining girls had to sit in some very odd chairs, but only 4 chairs were there. Krm and Vanesa had to sit down on the floor. For some strange reason, there were no cameras. Not even hidden ones. Or so they thought, because Krm's shirt actually had a camera, along with Laila's iPod, as she sat smiling in the background. Krm looked at everybody staring and explained.
"When I get kicked off the island, I get to be a producer. And Gabby gave me this camera." Jane, Haley, Alicia, and Lyee sat down into the chairs. The cashiers from Libby Lu, in all their creepy preppy pink sparkliness came out, holding makeup and a very large plastic suitcase filled with clothes.
15 minutes later
Jane stared into a mirror. "The horror… the complete horror!"
Lyee stared at them. "What's wrong? This isn't bad."
Alicia and Haley stared at her in shock. "We look like freakin' preps!" they shouted in unison.
Jane was also in mild shock. "We look like girly girls!"
Gabby suddenly walked up. "Oh yeah, I'm sorry Lyee, I almost forgot you!" She picked up Laila's magical remote, much to Laila's protest, and pressed a button. A large neon arrow came up, pointing to Lyee, saying in flashing letters, LYEE IS A MERMAID. Lyee's eyes were wide with shock and filled with horror. Everybody – except Krm and Vanesa, considering they already knew this fact – stared in surprise.
Gabby smiled. "Ok! Krm and Vanesa, you two to the next room!"
The two girls walked to the next door cautiously. Vanesa opened the door to see a barely illuminated, old-style curtained theater. They walked to the front and sat down. All of a sudden, lights on stage came on and the curtain was pulled back, revealing the stereotypical 16-year-old blonde, blue-eyed, pigtailed cheerleaders, who all had red and white cheerleading outfits and pom-poms, perfect pink sparkly make-up, long manicured nails, and 6-inch high heels. Behind them came out a large group of very little, mildly chubby 3-year-old girls, wearing identical outfits (minus the shoes and nails.) Krm gripped the chair as hard as she could, knuckles turning white. Vanesa's already pale skin was drained of the remaining color. The cheerleaders – and the little kids – all waved. The cheerleaders began doing one of their routines and the little girls ran down to Krm and began attacking her. They were screaming, pulling her hair, stealing the hat she always wore, trying to pull off her wolf ears, and one little girl had even started hitting her. Vanesa, however, was oblivious to her friend's torment and sat there in shock. As the cheerleaders began walking down, Vanesa suddenly flipped out and began running away, screaming in various languages.
"Help! Ayuda me! Sauvez moi! Sparen! 除我 之 外!Außer mir! Εκτόςαπόμε! Salvo me! 私を除けば! Exceptomim! Заисключениемменя!" She shouted, running away. Everybody stared in confusion.
"Nobody wins! Just vote off the person you think did the worst!"
Later that day
Confession Cam
Dante: What just happened? Gabby is a friggin' psycho maniac. But anyway, if we're going to vote off somebody, it should be Grace, since she fainted. Sorry Grace, but you wouldn't have lasted long.
Grace: I am never going to that gym again! That was so scary… Gabby's insane. I want to go home now! I will vote myself off if I have to! GET ME OUT OF HERE!
Zach: Hospitals…they're too clean… For Grace's sake, I'm going to vote her off. Even if she is my sister. She's just not going to handle this well.
Audrey: O.O Can I vote myself off?
Ellie: That was the strangest thing I have ever seen… I'm going to vote Audrey, due to that incident in the fire and thunderstorm room.
Ryan: *looks dizzy* I am so confused…Grace is leaving.

Colette: Veuillez m'obtenir hors d'ici!
Kenny: *traumatized*
Tyson: Grace…
Katy: Myself…

Vanesa: 私を除けば誰か。私は狂気の生産者および私のいとこが付いている島で引っ掛かる。私を助けなさい! 私は得る必要がある。私が誰かを追い払わなければならなかったらそれが優美があるようにしなさい。私は自分自身の代りに彼女を救う。 私を助けなさい!
At the production studio
Gabby stared at Laila, confused. "Vannie speaks all those languages?"
Laila rolled her eyes. "Like I said, she's a super genius."
Campfire, later that day
Gabby stood with a plate of marshmallows.
"As you all know, we just did a mass voting thingy. And apparently, thanks to Sebastian, we're just going to let everybody who wasn't voted for at least once leave. The people who need to stay are Grace, Audrey, Colette, Katy, Nikki, Allister, Aya, Satine, Jane, Becca, Terry, Serlenia, and Vannie."
Vanesa was still mumbling something in Japanese over and over again. Gabby looked at her for a moment, then went back to the marshmallows.
"Katy…" she threw a marshmallow at the girl. "I'm just gonna throw the marshmallows. Try to catch them." Gabby explained.
"Nikki…"
"Allister…"
"Aya…"
"Satine…"
"Jane…"
"Becca…"
"Terry…"
"Serlenia…"
"Vannie…" Vanesa, upon hearing this, began screaming again.
"Grace and Audrey. You two are here because you got the highest amount of votes." The two girls both looked very frightened.
"Audrey…" Gabby paused. It would have been more suspenseful if the loudspeaker hadn't given off very loud feedback at that point. Laila's shouts of "I fixed it!" didn't help either. Gabby flipped Laila off and went back to the campfire.
"You are safe." Audrey caught the marshmallow. Grace quickly ran to the boat.
"THANK YOU!" She screamed before getting on. Everybody stared.
"I've never seen somebody that happy about losing on a game show where the prize is a million dollars." Gabby said.
The remaining teens quickly dashed over to their cabins, all mumbling that this was torture beyond belief.
Gabby looked straight at the camera.
"Happy Halloween!" she shouted. The lights went dark.
oOo
Gabby: That was so awesome! Thank you Laila!" *hugs me*
Me: Gabby…I need…*gags* oxygen…
Gabby: Sorry.
Me: *gasps for air* Anyway, I hope you liked this chapter. As we said before, it was not published on Halloween, but Gabby was with one of her friends and I was with a very large group of people, so we were unable to write. But we did.
Sebastian: Were you guys stoned when you wrote this?
Me: I wasn't. Gabby…I'm not so sure about her. REVIEW!
Gabby: And I apologize if you thought this was cruel and unusual punishment. But remember: I wrote it! Not Laila. She was out somewhere dressed like a prostitute and getting stoned. And Spicer I think youre hot and sexy!!
Me: I was not getting stoned!
Gabby: You just keep telling yourself that…and plus I was with a whole bunch of high schoolers on Halloween and not just one friend!!
Me: Now really, Ok, wait, why are we talking here? Stop reading. Go. Review!!!
Gabby: Once again, SPICER I LOVE YOU SEXY!!!!!!
Me: *drags Gabby away*
