Sorry for the wait, class projects and homework are needed to get done and turned in. Plus I want this to be setting in the mood for Halloween.
I don't own TDI or Coraline
The weather called to be sunny all day, but with heavy clouds covering the sun's raise it would seems that the weatherman was wrong.
Somewhere in Muskoka Canada, on an island out on one of the largest lakes boarding the United States and Canada. Chris McLain, the host for first ever live reality TV show 'Total Drama Island', greeted all of the contestants for the show.
If you can call it a welcome greeting, some were glad to be here while other's are just not so thrilled.
'This is not what I expected' these thoughts ring through every 22 contestants for this reality game show. A poorly-run down island camp where everyone has to survive in order to win the $100,000 prize.
After greeting Chris and the unexpected splashing into the lake cause of a very unstable dock(deck) gave way for a group photo.
After getting dried off, and making sure that none of their luggage isn't completely soak through. Chris started to announce names of the two teams who are going to competing against each other. "Beth, Cody, Heather, Gwen, Trent, Owen, Justin, Lindsey, Katie, Leshawna and Noah your team will be known as the 'Screaming Gophers'."
Chris turns to the other half of the group "The rest of you guy, Bridgette, Courtney, DJ, Duncan, Ezekiel, Eva, Geoff, Harold, Izzy, Sadie and Tyler. Your team's name will be know as the 'Killer Bass'."
Before anyone could make any complaints about the arrangements, a young meek looking teenage boy dressed in hiking/camping gear sept out from the camera crew. He yelled "McLean, What the hell is this? we had an agreement."
The host smack his hand into his forehead, "Ah cut! Seriously? Right in the middle of the show, Norman?" Chris demanded as the camera's got turned off.
"I don't care if you're on air or not, we made a deal! No more than twenty people here on the Island!" said Norman
"Uh, Bris? Who is he?" Lindsey asked. Ignoring the ditsy blonde girl, Chris answered the question "Everyone, this is Norman Harrison. His family were the previous owners of this island before I bought it." Norman cuts in "It's true, my family did own this island and let people camp out here. But only twenty people or less."
"But why only twenty?" Beth ask "Hello? to get away from larger crowds of people and losers." said Heather snarky.
But Norman corrected the Mean Queen Bee "No, it's not that. This island has a history of many strange occurrences over the years when it was first founded in somewhere between in the 1700 or the 1800."
Many eyebrows arched up, some in question while others were in fear.
"What do you mean?" Gwen ask the question that was in everyone's mind. Before Norman could even speak, Chris cuts in with two muscle intern guys dragging the poor teen away. "Forget it, it's just a campfire story to scare people. It's not even true. Besides Norman we have a fine print contract." Norman cast one last look at everyone and said "Fine. If anyone needs to speak with me, I'll be staying on Crescent Moon Island."
As the contestants watch Norman being pulled away they couldn't help but feel a little bit uneasy about the sudden news about the island. After seeing Norman leaving out of his sight, Chris then said "Alright since we had an interruption, will just head straight to the first challenge of the day." Making everyone moan in misery.
Time Skip
Everyone went to their assigned cabins to pick their beds and unpack for the next couple of weeks on this island, but once everyone step into their cabins the thoughts of sleeping in nice comfy beds with warm bed comforters just blow out the window.
The cabins was filled with dirt and dust bunnies everywhere on wooden flowers and rug along with bits of dead bugs on the ground, cracked windows and mirrors, rickety bunk beds, torn curtains, worn-out sheets, blankets and old pillows. There's even two to four buckets in every cabin that are spread out throughout in each corner of the room under heavy moist ceiling, indicating that the roofs leek in water from the rain.
The girls and a few of the guys complain at how bad it is. Geoff ask Chris if there was any chaperones here, only to have Chris to answer "You're all sixteen years old, as old as any other counselor in a regular summer camp. Other than me, you're all unsupervised. You all have half an hour to unpack and meet up at the main lodge, starting now get to it."
No one else to look after them? Nice. Satisfied with Chris' reply, Geoff went set his stuff into his teams cabin. That's when someone let out a blood curdling scream, everyone rushes in to the Screaming Gopher's cabin to see Lindsey standing on a foot stool on one foot pointing at what made her scream. "There! Somebody kill it!"
Turns out one of the dead bugs was still alive, and it just so happens to be a cockroach.
Every girl present and few guys let out their own shrieks and jump out of the way as the roach crawls towards anyone in it's path. That is until the Bad Boy brought out an axe and cut it in half.
"Well that's one way to kill a cockroach." Gwen complemented at the brutally killed vermin. So far, not a very good start of camp.
Once the half hour of unpacking was up, every contestant went to the main lodge for todays lunch, sloppy joe. It was sloppy, but it didn't look like joe. Or even edible for that matter. Most of them skip eating theirs while other did with strong stomachs like Owen.
There was so much to complain about: one the cabin rooms are horrible and two was the food that seems that it would come alive at any giving moment. That's when Chris made his presents known "Welcome to the Main Lodge." Geoff interrupts by asking "Yo Chris man, can we order any pizza?"
Just then a cleaver knife flung past Geoff and wedge itself by the door's frame only a few inches away from Chris' head, who wasn't even fazed at being so close to death. This result of Geoff replying in a panic voice that says this is good stuff who needs pizza? "Your challenge begins in one hour." Chris said as he leaves the main Lodge.
Time Skip
At first they're on top of the most highest cliff on the island jumping into the lake below, one ring of buoys filled with sharks while the center buoy is the safe zone. And the next they were pulling or pushing their crates back to the camp, with the Screaming Gophers with carts to pull and the killer bath force to push theirs.
After some time, few of the Screaming Gophers & Killer Bass felt something really itchy on their hands. Though they tried their best to ignore the itch and just focus on getting back to camp so that they'll finish the challenge.
When everyone made it back they start to try opening their crates while Chris stands to the sides watching them with a smug grin on his face. Not one to take anymore of this Heather march over to Chris and ask "What do you find that is so amusing?" Chris answers "Oh nothing much, just that two of the crates and wagons were switched with different wood. You know, to make the challenge more challenging."
"What type of wood exactly?" Cody ask weary, "Oak. Poison Oak to be exact." Chris replied with his sadistic amusing grin never leaving his face.
Everyone stop what they were doing and look at their hands, even Katie and Sadie who were sitting in the shorelines of the island check to see if there was any blistering rashes. "Agh!" "What the hell Chris?!" "Seriously?!" "Not cool man!" Everyone turn to see the formal CIT, the bad-boy, the goth girl and the would-be musician both with poison oak blistering rashes on their hands.
"Ooh, suck to be you guys, nehahahah. Head to the infirmary tent to get treated, while the rest of you continues building your own hot tub." Said Chris as he walks away satisfied with how his idea of poison oak wooden crates worked.
As the four victims walk to the infirmary tent, they were greeted by Chef dressed in a female nurses outfit complete with a blonde curly hair wig. It was a disturbing sight to have implanted into ones mind. "I think my eyeballs just throw up." Said Gwen in a quiet voice, "I'm gonna have nightmares after this." Trent commented back to her.
Time Skip
After getting their rashes(and eye(Courtney)) treated, Duncan, Courtney, Gwen and Trent headed back to their team. Only to find that no one won the challenge because they've wasted enough time by arguing with each other on how it should be done or who gets to do what. In the end, Chris declares it a draw ant that no one is going home to night, so that they'll try again later tomorrow.
Seeing the four teens back from the infirmary, Katie and Sadie ran up to them with two wrapped up crumbled news papers in each of their hands "Oh my gosh, you guys wouldn't believe what we found." Katie started "There like, so cute!" Said Sadie. "So like, me and Sadie were coming back from the lake and I tripped on something sticking out of the ground, we dug it out and it was a very old chest and inside, well check it out." the two besties handed the wrapped up objects to them. When they finish unwrapping them, Gwen, Trent, Courtney and Duncan were more surprised at what the two cheery girls found.
Dolls, and not just any doll, old button eyed rag dolls that look extremely like themselves. The same hair color and style, the same clothed outfits and shoes. Hell, it even has Duncan's piercings.
Trent exclaimed "What the?" Gwen looked at her mini self "A little doll version of us(me)?" Courtney only eyed at her doll self in question, why is there a doll version of herself and her fellow campers? and who made them to look like them? And as for Duncan, he only scold at the two matching girls "If this is some kind of joke."
Katie and Sadie hug each other and said "No it's true, we found them like that!" "Honestly!" "Found what honestly?" Heads turn to see the sadistic host return "The girls found these in a chest buried in the sand." Said Trent as he shows Chris the doll version of himself, fallowed by Gwen, Courtney and Duncan. As Chris looks at each of them he let out a chuckled laughter "Oh my, this is too good! Hahaha!"
Duncan shot the laughing McLean a glare "So you set this joke up!?" by then everyone came over seeing what the fuss is all about. After caching his breath, Chris replies "No, but I wish it was. Who ever came up with this, I give them prop." and with that, the Host walks away again not before saying that dinner will be ready in half an hour.
Okay, so if Chris didn't set this up then who did?
With nothing else better to do, the group decided to just hang in the main lodge to pass the time. The area has a fire place with a sad depressing painting of young children looking sad at their broken toys, an antler chandelier hung above them in the center of the building and a few chairs and couches spread everywhere in different parts of the room, along with a coffee table and side tables by the chairs and a book shelf on the left side of the wall with little books filling up the shelves.
Courtney, Duncan, Trent and Gwen set their doll selves on one of the end tables on the right side of the lodge and joined with the others at the dinning tables discuss on any ideas of where and who made the dolls and why. "Okay, just to be sure. The BFF girls found those dolls in a chest that was covered up and it wasn't even a joke from Chris?" said Leshawna. Courtney let out a small breath of air and replied "Yeah, that's pretty much sums it up." Bridgette then thought of something "Do you think that Norman might know something about it?" Even Heather voiced her thoughts in this conversation "Maybe he's the one who made them just to scare us." but Noah stated "But we only met the guy once, how would he had the time to even make four dolls of them and who knows how many more." "It doesn't make any sense, none of it." Said Harold.
With only a couple more minutes left, Gwen thought it was best to head to the communal bathrooms before dinner but when she got to where her doll self was, it wasn't there along with the others. "Huh? It was right here." Trent heard her and ask "What's wrong?" Gwen crouches down to see if they had fallen down, but came up with nothing. "The dolls are gone." everyone turn to where they set the dolls and true to Gwen's words, they weren't there. "You don't think those dolls are curse do you?" Beth asked as DJ let out a sharp gasp of fright. "Don't be scared, look they're over there." Izzy said reassuringly, but that only added the sense of dread onto everyone's body even more.
Walking up over to where the dolls are, which was behind the tall bookshelf on the left side of the lodge. "But how did they even get over there when we were all together at the tables?" Cody asked out loud, "Like I said, it has to be a trick." said Heather. But when Courtney, Gwen, Duncan and Trent pulled their doll selves out from their hiding spot they notice something behind the bookshelf. "Hey there's something back here." Said Courtney, as Duncan and Trent went to the side to push it away while more of the guys and girls helped either push or pull the bookshelf out of the way. When the bookshelf was far out of the away, the campers found a mid-small door that was about four and a half ft. tall and five ft. wide. with old simple carved wood designs.
"What are ya 'll maggots doing!?" Chef yelled at them from the kitchen counter "Hey Chef, did you know there's a door behind the bookshelf?" said Owen "No I did not, and ya 'll better put that back ya hear?" Said Chef in a threatening manner "But where dose it lead to?" Lindsey ask "Into you're brain." Noah said sarcastically, only to have the less intelligent blonde girl to reply "Really?" ignoring the girl's question, Duncan took out his knife and tries to pick the lock but failed "There has to be a key somewhere." he mutters.
Not wanting to take much more of this nonsense, Chef said "If I give ya 'll the key, will all of ya quit messing around?" Everyone turn to Chef and he took their silence as a yes, jogging back to the kitchen counter drawer that held multiple keys but only one key stood out above the rest. A black circular rounded key with a button on the base end of it's bizarre design. With the key in hand, Chef toss the key to anyone in the crowd "Here." and went back to work on tonight's dinner. With the key in their possession they can at last find out what's behind the door, Cody handed the key to Gwen as she slides it into the keyhole, twist it, heard an unlock lick and pulls the door back to find...
Nothing. Only stone slabs of brinks sealing the door entirely. "Well that was a let down." Eva Grumbled, "It must have been closed off if the lodge was divided." Said Noah, as he walks away and soon everyone fallowed one by one. "Should we even lock it?" Tyler ask, "Why bother locking it anyway when there's nothing there?" said Heather, "Well, if there's any more secrets on the island Izzy wants to know and find." The crazy girl declared as she rushes out of the main lodge, leaving everyone in the dust. Only Trent was the last person left at the small door before shutting it and join with his fellow teammates.
Time Skip
The food sure likes to come alive here, hardly no one even bothered to eat what Chef whipped up and just head strait to bed. After setting their look-a-like dolls away for the night, the four teens recall their times back home and how much they've been living with their families.
With so many brothers and being the youngest one in the family it's difficult to get your parents to notice your existence, even when you're a victim of being bullied by your own siblings and having them to force you to do the things you never wanted to do in the first place.
Trying to be the perfect girl is a pain and having your parents to be in controlled of your own life and planned out everything of the next five years of your life is very stressful, you're not free to make your own choices, not as long as they are in controlled.
Most parents will live in their own happy little bream world where everything must be their way or else, even if their daughter is different and not fallowing their ideals the mother will do whatever it takes to make her family more lively.
Moms and Dads always do what they can to provide for their family, even if it means taking on more of their work time than on family time. Do they even know what their child likes or what their dream is? If they don't know then their bad parents and if they just don't care at all then they are the worst set of parents.
Pushing those thoughts away, Duncan, Courtney, Gwen and Trent close their eyes and drifted off to sleep.
There we go, Chapter 1 is complete! I'll be working on Chapter 2 later on after I get the rest of my own work done, it'll be a slow update but I wont stop until this story is completed. If you guys like to give me any advice on how to make the story better or names for the camper's parents let me know in the comments or reviews.
See you soon.
