Sorry for making you guys wait, but on a special note, they day this chapter will (hopefully) be uploaded (on the 23rd) is my birthday! ^_^ But instead of me getting presents, I thought I'd give you all a present! The next chapter! Enjoy!
Chris was at his usual place at the Dock of Shame, ready to give the recap. The sky looked dark grey, it would rain soon, and by the look of the clouds... it would rain hard. Chris wore a rain coat just in case it started raining while we was giving the recap.
"Last time on Total Drama Island, the remaining 8 campers climbed their way through the McLean Obstacle Course, Viola made quick and easy work of it until Hayden's dirty tactics took her down! But he didn't completely take the win, with Dutch's quick thinking, Luis managed to win invincibility with Hayden. Which is shocking since he didn't seem too fond of Luis earlier in the season! The girls took a big hit in their alliance as Hayden's plan had Viola eliminated! 7 campers remain and things are getting crazier with each passing moment!"
Chef approached Chris, Chef was also wearing a rain jacket.
"Chris, are you nuts?! It's about to rain!" He shouted.
"I'm almost done with the recap Chef! Anyway... will the girls' alliance survive? Will Hayden call out Dutch for trying to take him out? Will Hayden finally be beaten? And how the hell is Luis still here?! Find out right now on Total Drama Island!"
Everyone was outside of their cabins, sitting on the steps or just standing around. It was raining, so they couldn't really do anything.
"Attention campers, according to the local news station, we're going to be seeing rain, rain, and more rain! Isn't that just great!" Chris said with a cheerful tone over the intercom, his tone changed with his next statement. "Unfortunately, because of the rain, I'm going to have to postpone the challenge until the rain clears."
*confessionals*
Luis: The Final 7! I can't believe I've survived this far! The others are fierce competitors though... perhaps I can defeat them using my mental prowess! The biggest threat has to be Hayden, he has become a complete sociopath!
Michael: So I made it to the final 7, and I'm not stopping now! I need to bring Hayden down! Now! He's caused enough problems as is... and as much as I don't like to admit it, it would probably be for the best if Luis gets eliminated too. He's a cool guy, but I'm still competing against him.
Hayden: Of course I made it this far, it's only natural! I'm winning the money, and none of these a******* are stopping me!
Dutch: Hayden's going to turn on me, I just know it! I need him gone, but I cant turn to anyone for help, I know they all hate Hayden, but I'm sure they don't like me either...
Astrid: Hayden doesn't deserve to be here, he's cheated and manipulated others to get this far! I'm going to personally boot him off!
Tamara: So... The final 7, I can't believe I made it this far! But Hayden made it here too... I thought that we would both make it to the finale and we would split the money, but now I know it's not going to happen. Now I'm going to prove to Hayden that I don't need him and I'm going to win this!
Corlissa: Woohoo! The final 7! I'm winning this for you Damion! But I need to bring Hayden down, Viola deserves to be here, not him!
*end confessionals*
"Pouting and whining won't bring Viola back you know! Besides, I thought Viola hated people who complain!" Hayden taunted, the girls growled at him.
"Oh shut your mouth!" Astrid hissed. Tamara went inside of the girls cabin, she didn't want to see or hear an argument. Astrid and Hayden continued shouting insults at each other until Astrid ended it.
"You know what, you're not even worth it!" She spat, going I side of her cabin along with everyone except Hayden and Dutch. Dutch tried to go inside before Hayden stopped him.
"Not so fast! We need to have a little chat about the previous challenge!" Hayden scowled, Dutch glared at him. "I don't take kindly to being stabbed in the back, you've ruined your chance at safety! I'll inform the others about Charlotte's baby soon, your days here are numbered!" Hayden went into the cabin, leaving Dutch outside. Dutch began to look stressed...
*confessional*
Dutch: So Hayden doesn't like being stabbed in the back, yet that's what he's done to everyone else! Man, what a hypocrite!
*end confessional
The interns were in their cabin, Chris didn't have any work for them until the rain cleared, so they had the day off. Mike was playing pool with Ciana, Ciana was picking off the striped balls one by one, while Mike still had a ways to go before he could catch up.
"Dang, how are you so good at this?!" Mike said in disbelief.
"Sorry Mike, trade secret!" Ciana teased. Mike pouted at her response, in another room Sapphire and Briar were playing chess, Briar was winning, she moved her Rook.
"Checkmate! That's 17 games in a row Sapphire, but you're certainly getting better!" Briar said with a smile. Sapphire just gave her an irritated glance, without a word she shoved the chess board off of the table and stormed off. "Perhaps I should have let her win one game..." Briar said to herself as she began to collect the chess pieces that had been scattered across the floor.
Across the hall, Nikki was reading one of her love stories when Johan entered the room with his guitar in hand.
"Hey Nikki!" He said, kissing his girlfriend.
"Oh hey!" She answered, putting her book down.
"Listen, over the past few days, you've seen really stressed, so I thought we could spend some quality time together! Just the two of us." He stated.
"Sure that sounds great!" Nikki replied, Johan sat down beside her and starred playing a love song on his guitar. Nikki thought about asking Johan about his past, but she didn't want to ruin the moment.
Hours had passed, everyone was asleep and the rain had not let up. The grounds of the camp had begun to flood. The cabins that the campers were sleeping in were lifted right off of the ground due to the amount of water and the poor conditions of the cabins. The cabins traveled along with the current of the flooding water, even the confessional outhouse was not safe from the rain as it went in the same direction as the cabins.
The next morning, the rain had finally ceased, all of the campers had woken up and gotten changed, Michael left the cabin and was going to go brush his teeth. To his surprise the entire cabin was still floating on the water. Corlissa and Astrid left their cabin which wasn't too far away from the boys' cabin and were shocked at what they saw.
"What the hell is this?!" Corlissa shouted.
"I don't know, the storm must have lifted up the cabins and sent us to who knows where!" Astrid guessed correctly. The cabins bumped into each other, causing the others to wake up to see what the ruckus was about.
"Hey! What's with all the- WHAT THE HELL?!" Hayden yelled, shocked at seeing the floating cabins.
"Really... The one day where I get to sleep in, and we just end up stranded!" Dutch screamed.
"What do we do?" Tamara asked.
"We should try to find dry land and head there!" Luis said, and coincidentally, there was a beach several yards away from them.
"Well that's convenient!" Corlissa stated.
Earlier, back at the camp, Chris turned on the intercom system to wake up the campers for today's challenge.
"Goooooood Morning campers! The rain stopped so that means it's challenge time! But first, why don't you head down to the mess hall for breakfast, I'm not getting sued for torturing minors!"
Chris headed over to the mess hall, which was spared from the rain. He met up with Chef and the interns (mi us Mike and Johan), the former peeling potatoes that were green.
"Hey, have any of you seen the campers?" Chris asked.
"Nope, and I was just peeling these rotten spuds for their breakfast!" Chef answered.
"Come to think of it, I haven't seen any of them around the campsite either." Ciana added. The male interns joined the others, the looked shocked.
"What happened guys?" Nikki asked.
"Did you find the campers?" Chris questioned the duo.
"We didn't find anything!" Mike exclaimed.
"They're gone! So are their cabins, even the outhouse confessional is gone!" Johan stated, everyone except Chris gasped.
"They're missing?!" Briar yelled in disbelief.
"Everyone calm down! I'm sure they're all fine, in the meantime go back to your cabin and just hang out until they come back!" Chris told them, the interns all gave him nasty glares.
"You're not gonna go look for them?!" Mike shouted.
"Relax Mike, these campers are tough, and they seem to work well together, they'll come back!" Chris assured them.
"And what if they don't?!" Nikki asked in concern.
"If they aren't back by tomorrow I'll send out a search party, the WILL come back perfectly fine!" Chris said. The interns went back to their cabin leaving Chris and Chef.
'What do you say we go get some breakfast, I'm starving!"
"You actually want to eat this slop?!" Chef replied with a shocked look.
"What?! No, I mean back at our cabin!" Chris replied.
"Cool." The two then left to their cabin, which was much more luxurious than the others.
It was almost noon, the campers had reached the land they spotted earlier, they were getting hungry as they didn't have breakfast.
"Man, I'm starving! We need to go look for food!" Tamara stated.
"If we're going to survive we need a plan, our cabins won't really be good for shelter anymore. If the tide comes up they'll just be washed away again!" Astrid announced.
"So what's your plan Astrid?" Luis asked.
"We need a group to go out and forage some food and water, we're also going to need some type of shelter."
"Who died and made you the boss?" Hayden scowled, Astrid got in his face.
"We're all going to be dead unless you work with us! Or we could just leave you here to die!" Hayden was not in the least bit intimidated, but he kept quiet.
"Michael and Dutch, why don't you two look for food. You're the strongest guys here so you should be safe, just watch each other's backs and PLEASE don't fight! Tamara and Luis, collect as much water as you can. Luis I know you're a smart boy, if there's a way to make the water drinkable, make it happen. Corlissa, you're with me, we need to find shelter. Hayden... just do whatever you want. I don't care!" Astrid gave everyone their instructions, they all left to do their assigned tasks. Hayden noticed the confessional, which had washed up onto the shore.
*confessional*
Hayden: Does she think I'm useless? Is that it! Well then... Once Chris finds us I know exactly who's going down first!
*end confessional*
As Hayden left the confessional, he noticed a tree house in one of the trees close by. He grinned to himself and approached the treehouse.
Michael and Dutch were foraging some fruit for themselves and the others, they managed to find a good amount of fruit. Michael turned to Dutch...
"Dutch, I need to talk to you about something important."
"Look if it's about me acting like a complete jerk throughout the show then fine, I'm sorry alright!" Dutch snapped, he didn't sound angry though, he just sounded, emotionally exhausted.
"Apology accepted I guess... but that's not what I wanted to talk about. I've seen the way Hayden talks to you, is he blackmailing you?" Michael asked, he seemed genuinely concerned for Dutch. Dutch sighed.
"I can't tell you alright..."
"And why not?"
"Let's just say that Hayden has a way of finding stuff out. I wouldn't even be surprised if he was listening in on this conversation right now!" Dutch answered, Michael looked around suspiciously, as if he was searching for Hayden...
*confessional*
Michael: Maybe Dutch really has changed, but the only way to find out for sure... is to confront Hayden.
*end confessional*
Tamara and Luis had gathered a large amount of water using some large leaves they found.
"I'm sorry about how Hayden has been treating you." Luis said.
"Don't apologize, it's not your fault Hayden's a jerk!" Tamara answered, the two laughed until Luis spoke again.
"Hey, Chris said that Dutch helped you and the other girls back in the emerald maze, was it true?"
"Yeah actually, he did! I thought he was just a bully but he hasn't really done anything bad for a while." Tamara answered. Luis thought for a moment.
*confessionals*
Luis: The others have been telling me that Dutch really has changed, the only way to know for sure is to talk to Dutch about it directly. I sure hope they're right...
Tamara: Luis is a really sweet guy, and it's actually kind of nice to get to know him a bit better!
*end confessionals*
Corlissa and Astrid were heading back to where they reached shore. They couldn't find any useful shelter.
"I guess we're just going to have to sleep under some leaves tonight..." Astrid admitted.
"I guess so... hehe if Viola were here she would kill us if she heard how much we were whining!" Corlissa replied, the two girls laughed. "Do you think Chris is looking for us?"
"He better be! He wouldn't let a group of teenagers die in the wilderness! Would he?" Astrid replied.
"Well it is Chris... though I suppose the interns will probably make him look for us." Corlissa said.
"Hehe yeah, it's nice to know that we have some sensible people in helping out on this show!" The two girls laughed again.
*resort confessional* (from Chris' cabin)
Chris: For the record, I am not that messed up! I said I would search for the campers tomorrow, I'm only testing them to see how they would react if they WERE stranded! ... The funny part is, I was going to make the challenge some trust building challenges, but this is wayyyy better! Hehe
*end confessional*
Chris and Chef were outside of their cabins, there was a buffet of food laid out. Chef was playing a beautiful tune on a harp.
"Ah brunch! Such a sophisticated meal. You've already finished your breakfast, but you're not quite ready for lunch!" Chris said with a grin. The interns soon arrived, they were still concerned about the contestants.
"Chris are ya' gonna get off your lazy ass and find these kids, or are you just gonna stay here and be a pig?!" Ciana shouted, Chris looked a little annoyed but he composed himself.
"Like I said earlier, I have it all under control! If you want to go look for them, then that's fine, but they'll be back here safe and sound!" Chris assured, the interns headed back to their cabin. "Seriously they worry too much!"
"They have a point though, if anything happens to those kids you could get sued!" Chef stated, this seemed to get Chris' attention.
"Ah crap! I didn't think about that, we need to find them!" Chris screamed.
All of the interns, except Hayden had regrouped at the beach they landed on.
"Great so we have food and water! But... me and Corlissa didn't find any good shelter." Astrid admitted.
"Well... it's ok, I'm sure I can make a tent out of sticks and leaves!" Luis replied.
"Don't bother!" Hayden said, everyone turned to see him standing in front of the treehouse. "And you all thought I wouldn't be able to help!" The others looked relieved that they found shelter. The inside of the treehouse looked similar to the cabins, while everyone was eating/drinking, Michael approached Hayden.
"Hayden, I need to talk to you. It's important." Everyone was watching the conversation, intrigued by it. Except for Dutch who looked uneasy.
"What do you want?" Hayden answered.
"Are you blackmailing Dutch?" Hayden looked serious, everyone else looked surprised and Dutch looked worried. Tamara jumped into the conversation with an angry look on her face.
"Yes he has! I heard him say it in the animal hunting challenge!"
Hayden glared at Tamara who glared right back at him, Hayden's glare then turned into a smirk.
"I suppose you want to know why I'm blackmailing Dutch! See it goes like this! Charlotte is pregnant, and Dutch is the father of said baby!" Hayden announced, everyone looked at Dutch, gobsmacked at the revealed information.
"Is that true Dutch?" Luis asked, instead of an answer Dutch ran out of the treehouse. Hayden began to laugh deviously.
"That poor fool, he let his emotions get in the way of his chance to win! Hmph, sounds like a certain redhead I know!" Hayden taunted, glancing at Tamara with his last statement.
"You're a jerk Hayden!" Tamara shouted, her eyes were beginning to tear up.
"And what would you know, you're just an idiot who wouldn't have even made it this far if it wasn't for me! I deserve to win the money more than any of you!" Hayden shouted, Tamara went to go hit him, but Hayden smacked her down. Tamara ran out of the treehouse with tears streaming down her face. Luis left as well to try to help the two emotionally broken campers.
"You're a monster Hayden!" Corlissa snapped.
"Yeah, a Grade - A a******!" Michael hissed.
"Hmph, I've heard worse insults from better people!" Hayden taunted, the next thing he knew Michael had socked him right in the jaw and knocked him down. The girls joined Michael in beating Hayden up.
Luis had followed Tamara into the woods, she was still crying.
"T-Tammy, are you ok?"
"I'm sorry, I just couldn't stay in there any more!" Tamara answered.
"Don't worry, I'm sure Michael and the girls are setting Hayden straight as we speak!" Luis said.
"But what if he's right, what if the only reason I'm here is because of him?"
"That isn't true, he may have hurt you, he hurt all of us, but you've climbed right back up! You made it here on your own!" This made Tamara smile, she stopped crying.
"Thanks Luis, you're a real pal!" Tamara said, she hugged Luis, making him blush. The two headed back to the treehouse, Tamara started heading up, but she stopped when she noticed Luis heading in a different direction.
"Hey, aren't you coming?" She asked.
"Actually Tamara, there's something I need to take care of first!" Luis answered, he walked away. Tamara went back into the treehouse and saw the others (minus Dutch and Luis) pounding Hayden. Corlissa noticed Tamara watching them.
"Tammy! Are you ok?!" She asked.
"Yeah, Luis helped me feel better!" Tamara amswered.
"Well while you're here, maybe you should give Hayden a good hit! He's had this coming for too long!" Corlissa announced, Tamara nodded her head in agreement. Corlissa and the others held Hayden up, his nose was bloody, he had a black eye and his face was beginning to swell.
"This is for being a lousy boyfriend!" Tamara said, as she kick Hayden right in the kiwis! Michael cringed at this.
*confessional*
Tamara: Maybe I was a bit too harsh, but Hayden has had that coming for a long time! I just hope Dutch is ok!
*end confessional*
Luis found Dutch on the beach, he looked broken. Luis was in utter shock at this sight, the boy who bullied him was now a victim!
"D-Dutch, are you ok?" Luis asked, he braced himself just in case Dutch decided to take his frustration out on him.
"No Luis... I'm not." Luis looked sympathetic. "I'm ruined dude, everyone hates me now! More than they did before at least. The worst part is, Hayden lied about me being the father of Charlotte's baby too!" Luis looked surprised at this.
"Wait, so you're not the father?!" He asked, he sat by him, though he still kept his distance, just in case he tried something.
"No, Hayden lied about that, he's been threatening to tell everyone I am the father to make me seem like a bad guy and everyone would hate me!" Dutch said. "And now you all probably do!"
"You're wrong Dutch." Luis stated, Dutch looked surprised. "If you tell the others that Hayden is lying, then they're going to believe you! Hayden must not have fully thought this through, at the time, you didn't have to many allies, but neither did he!"
"If guess that's true... but why would the others believe me now?" Dutch asked.
"Because you've shown that you can be kind! You were kind to Charlotte, you helped the girls out when they needed it!" Luis explained. "You may not be too fond of Michael and I, but we all share a common goal, and we can't reach that goal if you're not willing to strive for it! And you just might get Charlotte to like you while you're at it!
Dutch stood up and faced Luis.
"You know, you're not half bad dude!" Dutch and Luis shook hands!
"Sorry about all the bad stuff I did to you." Dutch apologized.
"Water under the bridge! We should probably head back to the treehouse!" Luis said, accepting the apology.
*confessionals*
Luis: Dutch really has changed!
Dutch: Luis is alright! But I'm still gonna pound Hayden!
*end confessionals*
When Dutch and Luis returned to the treehouse, Hayden was badly bruised and battered.
"Hey Dutch, you feeling better?" Michael asked, Dutch nodded, he saw Hayden. Hayden looked up at Dutch, and gave him an empathetic smile.
"Hey Dutch! No hard feelings right?" He asked, Hayden was answered with Dutch punching him in the face, knocking him unconscious!
"Hey you guys are ok!" A voice called out, everyone turned to see who it was and saw Mike staring back at them. Mike saw Hayden knocked out. "Well... for the most part at least."
"Thank goodness! Mike, please tell us you know the way back to camp!" Corlissa pleaded. Mike nodded his head in approval, the campers cheered and celebrated.
Mike and the other interns lead the campers back to Chris cabin. Johan was carrying an unconscious Hayden.
"Campers! Glad to see you're all safe!" Chris announced, the contestants were all in awe at how amazing Chris cabin was. Hayden began to wake up.
"Good to see you're still with us Hayden! Now I'm sure you're all exhausted after today but there is still one thing that needs to be done!" The campers groaned at this.
"We spent the whole day lost in the wilderness, haven't we suffered enough?!" Michael asked.
"Since this island is loaded with cameras, we see everything that goes on in the island! You were never in any real danger!" Chris explained, everyone, even the interns, looked dumbfounded.
"You mean to tell us, that you could have gone looking for us, but you just let us fend for ourselves?!" Astrid shouted.
"And you made us look for them?!" Ciana yelled.
"Calm down, you're all safe now and that's all that matters, and to make things more interesting, there WILL be an elimination tonight!" The contestants smiled deviously at Hayden, who panicked.
"W-W-Wait! Who wins invincibility?!" Hayden stammered.
"No invincibility tonight!" Chris responded. "Now go wait in the mess hall while I get your cabins properly fastened." Hayden looked mortified
At the Elimination Ceremony, the contestants were just placing their votes. Hayden was casting his vote when he took out a screwdriver and opened the box that had all the votes inside. He removed all of the votes that had his name on them and replaced them with votes towards Tamara. Once Hayden left the confessional after placing his vote, Briar entered the confessional and opened the box with the votes inside. The strange part is, she had a second box that looked identical to the one she was opening. She toke one of the votes Hayden used and placed it into the second box, she was fixing the votes that Hayden tried to rig.
*confessional*
Briar: Chris tasked me with making sure Hayden doesn't rig the votes any more, he's done this multiple times, just to prevent his elimination!
*end confessional*
After the votes were tallied, the Elimination Ceremony started, Ciana handed Chris the 6 marshmallows.
"Well, today was certainly an interesting day, we saw heartbreak, teamwork, forgiveness and pain! That is AWESOME! Hehe! Anyway the following campers are safe!"
"Luis!"

.
.
.
"Astrid!"
.
.
.

"Corlissa!"
.
.
.

"Michael!"
.

"And Dutch! It all comes down to this! Hayden and Tamara, and the the final marshmallow goes to. .."

"Hayden!"
"WHAT?!" Everyone screamed. Chris chuckled.
"Nah, I'm just kidding Tamara's the one who's really safe! Hayden, you're out!
"No! I refuse to leave! I'M SUPPOSE TO WIN! ME!" Hayden shouted, Chef grabbed him and tossed him onto the Boat of Losers, which began to speed off. Everyone began to celebrate Hayden's elimination.
"And so Hayden is finally eliminated, leaving us with the final 6! How will everyone behave now that their enemy is gone! And who will be the next camper voted off? Find out next time on Total Drama Island!"
Hayden was dropped off at a resort, the other eliminated campers waited for him, Ruby and Viola smirked at Hayden deviously.
"Oh Hayyyyydeeeeeen!" Viola greeted, approaching Hayden, she cracked her knuckles, Hayden tried to run, but he was quickly caught by Ruby.
"No no no no not the face!" Hayden pleaded, as Ruby and Viola continued the beating from where the others had left off!
And Hayden is finally gone! Hayden was definitely an interesting character to write for, I wanted to make him as evil as possible! His Stereotype literally is 'The devil' so... Anyway! How do you feel about Dutch changing? Who will be the next person voted off? Only time will tell...
On a side note, I'm need Briar's creator to let me know if I've been portraying her correctly, if not, I need to fix it. D:
