"For Narnia!" Duncan jokes as he yanks the chainsaw to life. Courtney smiles wryly. That would have been funny if they weren't risking their lives.
The boys take defensive positions in front of their girlfriends. As the clowns move in, Bridgette screams. Geoff spins around and sees Bridgette ducking on the ground. A clown was behind her swinging a sword right in the area her head would've been if she wasn't ducking. Geoff stabs the clown with his knife. It falls to the ground, and Bridgette jumps up.
The campers look around. They were surrounded. Completely, utterly surrounded. Clowns were in every direction.
"Where'd they all come from?" Gwen shrieks.
The buzzing noise from Duncan's chainsaw rips through the air as he shreds multiple clowns in front of him. The clowns don't even make a noise as they're being killed -- they're mute.
A whip cracks the air. The second blow lands on Gwen's cheek, who yelps and holds her cheek in pain. Trent gently removes her hand and looks at the red gash. Gwen screams and points behind Trent. He turns, just in time to duck a lunge with a sword. Trent swipes at the clown with his sword and cuts its arm off.
"Get away from Courtney!" Duncan shouts, stepping in front of Courtney, who was laying on the ground. A clown had tripped her and taken her knife and shield.
Three clowns, each armed with a whip, stares menacingly at Duncan. When the clowns swing their whips, Duncan shakes his chainsaw to cut up their whips as much as possible. But one whip connects to his arm. He winces and drops the chainsaw. He sees his mistake and lunges for the roaring machine, but a clown beats him to the punch. It grabs the chainsaw and stands above Duncan. Duncan crab-walks backwards towards Courtney. The clown slowly steps towards Duncan and raises the chain saw.
Duncan covers Courtney with his body, and waits for the blow. The chainsaw nears Duncan's body and rips his shirt, then starts cutting his skin.
Duncan winces and tenses up; Courtney whimpers, hating to hear Duncan sound so weak and in pain. Static fills the air.
The high-pitched voice yells, "Stop!"
The clowns back off.
The voice continues, "I see this is an unfair fight. So instead of continuing this battle, I will make a proposition. One of your toughest teammates, chosen by you, will meet me at the carousel. We will fight, one on one, to the death. If you win, I give you Terror Tickets. I see you only need 7 more until you have a hundred. If you lose, I kill the rest of your teammates. Deal? Oh, that's right, of course it has to be a deal. Because if nobody shows up, I will immediately send my clowns after you. Got it? See you at 8p.m. tomorrow night. The rest of the time is yours. Meanwhile, clowns, I order you not to hurt them. I need them for the battle."
Little by little, the clowns retreat back into the rows of tents until all of them are gone. "Eat. I promise I didn't poison it. I would rather kill you myself, instead of the food killing you. It wouldn't be much fun. So enjoy," the voice finishes, and a huge plate of bread, butter, cups of water, and apples appears out of the ground.
But nobody touches the food yet, even though nobody has eaten in a full day. "Duncan, are you okay?" Courtney cries, crawling out from underneath him. She rolls up his sleeve as Duncan sits up. He winces once Courtney rolls the sleeve up over his wound.
Courtney gasps. Duncan's long gash in his arm was bleeding pretty badly. The gash was about 4 or 5 inches long, but barely ½ a centimeter wide.
Courtney rips the bottom 3 inches of her shirt off. Duncan's eyes widen. Courtney moves Duncan's hand, which was covering his wound, and wraps the strip around the cut. She ties it, and looks at Duncan, who's face was in a full-on grimace.
"Are you better?" Courtney asks, biting her lip.
Duncan admits, "It still… hurts, but not as bad as before." Courtney's chin trembled, and she jumped on Duncan to hug him.
"Duncan, I'm so sorry!" Courtney exclaims, tightly hugging Duncan, steering clear of his injury.
"For what, Princess?" he asks. The fact he called her 'princess' for some reason made Courtney start crying.
"You were trying to pr-protect me, and I-I got you hurt!" Courtney exclaims, sniffling. Her legs were wrapped around Duncan's waist.
"I would have rather gotten a cut twice the size of this than letting you get hurt," Duncan says, gently stroking Courtney's hair. Her chin was resting on Duncan's shoulder and she was still crying.
"That's what makes me feel g-guilty," Courtney says. Duncan pulls back from Courtney's hug and looks her in the eyes.
"You're guilty I care about you so much? You're guilty I don't want you to get hurt?" Duncan asks. Courtney shakes her head.
"N-No, but--"
"You're guilty I would rather get hurt in your place? You're guilty I--" Duncan continues.
"Okay, okay, enough!" Courtney exclaims. "I'm sorry. I just can't bear seeing you hurt like this."
"Just like I would be if you got hurt," Duncan explains. Courtney smiles and looks at Duncan, absentmindedly stroking his bandage. Duncan leans down and kisses her.
"Ow! That hurts!" Gwen exclaims, pulling away from Trent.
"Sorry, Gwen, I have to. There's a little more glass in that cut," Trent apologizes. The tips of the clowns' whips had broken glass on it, and a few pieces were stuck in Gwen's cut.
"We can leave it," Gwen complains, twisting her face in preparation for the next pinch of glass being removed from her skin. She winces as Trent tries to carefully remove the glass shard.
"No, it would hurt even more once your skin grew over it," Trent explains. Gwen sighs.
"I know, I know. But, shit, this hurts!" Gwen exclaims.
"Don't worry, there's only one piece left," Trent says. He gulps, since it's a big shard. He was so depressed already from having to hurt Gwen.
Gwen closes her eyes to prepare for the last piece. Trent smiles, getting an idea, and kisses Gwen. She smiles in the kiss, pleasantly surprised. Mid-kiss, Trent opened his eyes and slowly raised his hand to Gwen's injury.
Good, Gwen's eyes are still closed, Trent thinks. Then he removes the last piece of glass while still kissing Gwen. That time, she hardly flinched.
He pulls away and reports, "We're done." Gwen's eyebrows furrow.
"I didn't feel it," she says. Trent smiles in victory, which causes Gwen to giggle.
"Oh, I'm sorry!" Bridgette exclaims, pulling away from Geoff. He pulls her back, closer to him.
"It's alright," he says. Bridgette carefully kisses Geoff again, this time keeping her hands off the cut on his shoulder.
"You hungry?" he asks when they pull away.
"Starving," Bridgette agrees.
Geoff and Bridgette start eating, and in a couple minutes, Gwen, Trent, Courtney, and Duncan begin to eat also.
