Hook, Line & Screamer
POV. Third person
Chris is standing on the dock of shame, but unlike other times, it wasn't morning, but sunset, "last time on Total Drama Island. Friendship, betrayal and bicycles, who would have thought that these elements would be the protagonists of one of the most important eliminations of this show", you see scenes of everyone assembling their bikes, Heather and Lindsay, Lindsay fighting with Cody, Geoff crashing and the goodbye on the pier, "How did this affect those who were involved? Will this challenge affect you? What horror awaits campers this week? Let's find out here, right now, on TOTAL... DRAMA... ISLAND!",

POV. Izzy
It was night and we were all gathered around the campfire watching a horror movie. During the day Courtney got paranoid when Chris never showed up to give us a challenge, it was funny how she seemed to be alert at all times.
It wasn't until sunset that the presenter showed signs of life, but he didn't tell us what the challenge would be, he just left us a projector and a movie saying we could watch it at the campfire.
I didn't know there were movies on this island, I wonder if they have more, maybe an adult movie. I remember the first time I saw one, I didn't understand shit, but I guess it's logical, I was only ten years old.
I wonder if one of those would serve to cheer up the boy currently sitting on my lap.
"Sigh."
Cody has been very emo since Lindsay's elimination, after me, she's his best friend. Heather has also been quiet and more than a little cranky, but in her case I have no idea why that is.
I was saddened by Lindsay's elimination too, I used her scarf to tie my hair into a curly ponytail, I missed her too, but I needed to stand firm so that Cody could have somewhere to lean on.
Which is why I had him sitting on my lap, so I could press my breasts on his back every time I hugged him, I thought that would make him cheer up a little, but he barely noticed.
He didn't even pay attention to the movie, I know he's one of those who gets scared easily, but he kept looking at the screen with a bored face.
"I don't understand this movie, why would those two think that a scary forest is the perfect place to start making out? Especially when they were told there's a crazy killer in the area?" complained Courtney, who had been doing it since the beginning of the film, ruining it with her logic.
"Because it is a horror movie?" Owen suggested, and I am convinced.
"Still, it doesn't make sense."
Confessional.
Izzy
"Courtney is too uptight at times, I wonder if it's because she hasn't been able to 'get nailed' since she came to this camp if you understand me, I know we're all pretty frustrated on some level at this point, that's why most of us are so bitter."
End of the confessional.
I even went so far as to use Heather's picture and 'pet my cat' while the boys were sleeping, which made it slightly more exciting, this doesn't necessarily mean that I swing that way, but there's no denying how sexy Heather is, it's a good thing that the boys sleep like logs.
"You haven't seen a lot of horror movies, have you, girl?" LeShawna asked Courtney.
"I've always spent my time becoming a good counselor, I didn't have time for things like watching movies."
"Shut up, everybody! Here comes the festival of blood!" I shouted excitedly as I hugged Cody like a koala on his back.
*RMMMMMMM*
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!".
The screen was filled with red and blood, it was spectacular, I love horror movies so much.
*Boom*
We all looked at Sadie, who fainted... again.
"Hahahaha, wow, that was intense," Owen said now that the film is over.
"I honestly didn't think it was that good," Courtney said, I just watched them talk with my head resting on Cody's, Heather hadn't said anything to me once, she didn't even look in our direction.
"Hey guys, isn't that chef on the dock?" asked Geoff.
We all saw the cook hurriedly loading suitcases into the losers' boat, I wonder what's going on.
After Sadie was woken up, I got off Cody and took his hand to guide him as we made our way to the dock to get answers.
When we arrived I could tell that the chef looked very scared, this is getting very interesting.
"Hey yo, Chef! Where's the fire?", Geoff asked, but instead of answering him he just jumped on the boat where Chris was and they left, strangely, he also forgot a backpack.
"Well, that was rude," Courtney said rolling her eyes.
"Dude! You forgot this!" yelled Owen lifting his backpack, a newspaper fell out of it, "Huh? Escaped psycho killer on the loose. Be on the lookout for a man wearing a hockey mask with a hooked hand and carrying a chainsaw," he said.
That's great! A madman is on the loose and could be on this island, tonight keeps getting better.
"A crazy killer!?" asked Sadie very pale and frightened, for a moment I thought she was going to faint again.
"I don't think this is real, it must be about the challenge, it would be too much of a coincidence for this to happen right after we saw a horror movie, which I remind you, was provided by Chris," Courtney said.
"You may be right, but what are we supposed to do now?" asked LeShawna.
Everyone looked at me... Oh, wait, they were looking at the person next to me.
We all looked to Cody for some idea.
"...
...
...
...
...
...
... Go back to the campfire?" woah, he really spoke.
Courtney sighed, "I guess we can go from there."
"You guys can do that," Heather said as she left, Cody's hand tightening a little as I heard his voice.
"And can you tell us where you think you're going?" asked LeShawna irritably.
"I'm going to take a bath, I'm not in the mood to play 'Blue's Clues' with Chris and walk around the island trying to figure out what we should do," she said tiredly, "I'm leaving," then she left.
"Aw, I loved that show," Sadie said, I liked it too.
"Leave her," Courtney said, "hopefully the killer will get to her first, let's get back to the campfire for now."
We were all leaving, but I felt that Cody resisted when I pulled him, "Cody?", he was looking at the lake, I didn't need all my genius to know what he was thinking, if this continued, there was a chance that my dearest friend would never be the same again. I squeezed his hand, not on my watch.
Confessional.
Izzy
She had a determined look, "I know of something that could cheer him up, I just hope it works, and also...", she scratched the back of her neck looking a little embarrassed, "it's time for Izzy to stop running in circles and stand in front of reality once and for all, even if I don't feel quite ready".
End of the confessional.

POV. Courtney
We were all sitting in a circle brainstorming, it would be a lot easier if Cody was the same as always, but since that wasn't the case, we had to figure it out on our own.
"Well, it's safe to assume that the challenge is related to the movie, do you think we should watch it again to find any clues?" asked LeShawna.
Sadie turned pale, "please don't."
Confessional.
Sadie
"I'm not the best when it comes to disgusting or scary things. When Katie and I watched horror movies at home, we'd both end up passing out, but at least we had each other."
End of the confessional.
"Don't worry guys, I know some basic rules of horror movies," Owen said, "first, never be left alone, the killer always goes first for those who are alone."
"Which means the queen bee must have passed on by now," Leshawna joked, we all laughed a little about it.
"What's next, brother?" asked Geoff.
"Don't go to the woods, it's the favorite place for killers, couples are almost always the second to die, followed by athletes and blondes. Oh, and always check that your car has enough fuel."
"That... it's very useful Owen, but we don't have a car," I said.
"Oh, it's true... Should we get a car?" I slapped my face over it.
"Sounds fun, let's do it," Geoff said.
"Guys, I think you're missing the point here," Sadie said.
"Hey guys, aren't we missing some numbers?" asked LeShawna.
We all looked around, "Where are Cody and Izzy?" asked Sadie.
"Oh no, maybe the killer got them," Owen said.
"Relax Owen, it's Cody, maybe they just went to spy on Heather while she's showering," Geoff said.
"..."

Geoff
"It sounded better in my head," he said as he scratched the back of his head.
End of confesional
"What is the life expectancy of a pervert in horror movies?" asked LeShawna.
"More than athletes, but less than virgins. Although the crazies are sometimes saved... but no one believes him."
"Well, Izzy is with him, he'll keep him safe for sure," Sadie said.

POV. Cody
*Crack*
"Ouch".
"I'm sorry", that was the third branch we bumped into, usually it's Izzy who climbs on my back and asks me to carry her, but this time she was the one carrying me, not that I was heavy for her. Every now and then her ponytail would hit me in the face, but I just ignored it.
If I were less depressed, I'd probably be scared that I don't know where she's taking me, or that I'm in the middle of the woods during the challenge with the serial killer. But I haven't been the same in the last few days.
I didn't think Lindsay's departure would affect me that much, but after fighting and reconciling, only for her to leave anyway, it reminded me of the dark future that awaits us.
It's not like we didn't want to see each other... It's just that no one wanted to fight anymore, and it seemed like that's the only thing that came out of us getting together.
But I know that deep down saying goodbye was painful for absolutely everyone. And that knowledge is what keeps me going, but now I'm afraid that the problems won't go away, what if they just transform, and now it's others who get hurt? It was a lot to take in.
And now I also feel a little guilty that Izzy has to carry me around.
"Izzy, where are we going?" I asked half-heartedly.
"You'll know when we get there."
"..."
"Cody, Izzy knows how your big head works, and you're probably blaming yourself for what happened," because it was my fault, but you couldn't know, "you're always giving people a hand, that must be exhausting, I couldn't, I can be very selfish sometimes."
"I'm not going to argue with you on that one."
"Hahahahaha, you're answering me again, that's something."
She carried me for a long time, she used my flashlight to light our way, when did she take it out of my pocket?
It veered off the path and passed through trees and leafy bushes, after a while we ended up coming to a patch of tall grass in the clearing of a grove, the moon was not visible due to the trees. I didn't see any cameras; it seems like it was another one of the island's blind spots.
"And we're here."
I got off her back and looked around, it didn't look like a big deal, just a clear void in the middle of nowhere, in fact, it looked a little creepy, did Izzy bring me here to scare me? It doesn't matter, it's not like I can feel anything right now.
She turned off the flashlight and stood next to me, now it was impossible to see anything, "I found this place while touring the island once before I left, what do you think?".
I narrowed my eyes, "I'll be honest with you, I can't see anything", it was too dark.
She stood in front of me, "And can you see me?"
"Just a little," I said, still narrowing my eyes.
Then something happened that I didn't expect.
Izzy combed the grass with her hands... And there was light.
My eyes widened in genuine disbelief as little yellow lights came out of the grass. Like a chain reaction more and more began to light up the clearing, "wow..."
Izzy had a huge smile lit up by the lights as she looked at me, "now you can see me."
The whole clearing had morphed into something completely different, it almost seemed to have stepped out of the page of a fairy tale.
One of the lights flew to my hand, now I could see it more closely, "fireflies", it wasn't the first time I'd seen them, but the first time I'd done it this way, "this is amazing", I said looking around, "pff".
Izzy had a bunch of fireflies on her chin like a beard, she looked ridiculous, "Do you like my new style? Fluorescent, right? Hahahaha", she started running through the clearing leaving a bright trail where her hands passed due to the fireflies that rose, it was spectacular.
I ran my hand across the grass and more fireflies rose. I had seen the nature of this island countless times, usually always trying to kill us... But this gave me a whole new perspective, it was magical.
"Hey Cody! Think fast!"
"Huh? Woah!", Izzy threw a ball of fireflies in my face knocking me down, how the hell did she do that? "pff, pff, I think they got into my mouth".
"Hahahahaha! Oh you should have seen your face, you looked like a Christmas tree," she jumped and landed next to me, leaning back too, "hey, look at that," she said pointing upwards, with the darkness of the trees and the light of the fireflies almost looked like the night sky, but this one was honestly much more beautiful, "our own starry night."
I smiled for the first time in days, "yes... It looks so... alive, it's unbelievable," we were silent for a long time, just looking at the fireflies, even in a place as gloomy as this island was, there were still good things, that gave me hope.
"Now, I think you owe someone an apology."
"... yes, I'm sorry I behaved so... absent, the last few days, thank you for staying by my side, and for encouraging me, both now and always, I truly believe that you are an amazing person Izzy," I said.
But she didn't answer me, she just got up and unexpectedly straddled me, putting her hands on the sides of my face and looking down at me, I widened my eyes, "wrong, that's not what you should apologize for," she said.
I was incredulous and confused by her change in behavior, "Huh?"
"I didn't ask you to apologize for being sad... I made a promise, you know? Day after day I kept reminding myself of it, but you couldn't make it easy, could you? Being so funny, being so kind, being so cool, being so obnoxiously awesome," now Izzy was looking at me with a completely red face, "you couldn't leave things as they were, could you? You just had to go and steal all my affection," I tried to process her words, I was totally shocked by what she said, I had no idea that she felt that way and even less that she would show it so strongly, "so apologize now," she told me mischievously.
Then her soft lips fell to mine, leaving me in shock. It wasn't a slow or soft kiss, she was kissing me very enthusiastically, it was wild and rough... Still, it felt good somehow, this time her lips felt very warm and moist, and her scent that was normally fishy or nutty at this time was pine, I slowly let myself go, closing my eyes and just concentrating on the feeling of her lips.
Izzy has been with me since she came back to camp, I'd be lying if I said I didn't get to have feelings for her in all this time, she's an amazing girl after all, but knowing how detached she is towards most things, I never expected her to go beyond just doing one thing and moving on to the next, I didn't think that she would just tell me how she feels or that she would develop a genuine attachment to someone, to me, but it seems that she did, and it's only fair that I give her an appropriate answer, right?
Things were starting to heat up, she stuck her tongue in my mouth looking for mine trying to control the kiss. My hands slid down her soft, bare legs, reaching up to her ass, under her skirt and giving her a slight squeeze.
"Mmm~", She let out a muffled moan and stuck closer to me, she also bit my lower lip lightly, that was cute.
She took my hands and pulled them off her ass, then slipped them under her top, causing me to grab her breasts. Then my face flushed and I almost got out of breath, she wasn't wearing a bra! I've seen them before, shit I've seen her whole body naked, but now I could feel them in all their soft glory, they were warm, and incredibly firm, her nipples were already hard, I ended up squeezing one out of pure instinct.
"Mmm~", And she moaned again, "Ah", We finally broke the kiss, with a small trickle of saliva between us, I took my hands off for the moment, we were both panting hard, she looked at me with a red face, out of breath, still hungry for more, she was also a little disheveled, but she never stopped smiling, "hahahahaha, I didn't think you would just play along, I was ready to force you you know?" She told me with mockery and sadism, I have no idea if she meant it or not.
"To be fair, it's not like I haven't fantasized about something like that at some point," I said, looking away a little embarrassed. I hadn't had any weird dreams since I started sleeping with the dreamcatcher, but apparently wet dreams with some of your friends weren't within her jurisdiction.
I'll unashamedly admit that I've had more than a few crazy fantasies with the other girls here, not just Izzy, but I had that before I came to the past, we all know I'm a pervert, even if it bothers me to be reminded of it, so there's no reason to be surprised there.
"Hahahahaha... You're a pervert... though I have done it too," she leaned in for another kiss, but then the fireflies began to disperse, something had frightened them.
That stopped her, we both got up, neither of us was oblivious to the dangers of the forest, but I already had an idea of what it could be.
Out of nowhere there was a strong asthmatic breathing very much in the style of Darth Vader, "Who walks through the woods with asthma?" asked Izzy, I rolled my eyes, the hot moment had officially passed.
I lifted my flashlight off the ground, turned it on and pointed it at various places, the fireflies left the clearing a long time ago, leaving it completely in the dark.
Breathing stopped, I tried to find the chef, I couldn't locate him anywhere. But then Izzy and I widened our eyes when the breath came right behind us. We quickly turned around.
And the mad killer/Chef Hatchet, with a grappling hook in his hand and a jockey mask was right there.
*RMMMMMM*
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!".
"The mad killer with the hook and chainsaw!" shouted Izzy.
"Run!" I took her hand and pulled her with me as I started running, even if it was just the chef, the point of the challenge was not to get caught by the killer.
We traversed trees and bushes in search of the path, but I didn't even know if we were going back the way we came, nor did I bother to look back.
We finally got to the trail, "Wait, what?", only it wasn't the way we got there, somehow, we ended up at the foot of the mountain from the first challenge, "Were we so close all this time?".
"Wow, that's weird," Izzy said, just as surprised.
*Crack*
Behind us the chef came out overgrown, it looked like a scene from a real horror movie.
I looked up the mountain, "come on, I got an idea."
"Huh?"
We ran all the way uphill with the chef hot on our heels, we ran out of path when we got to the edge of the cliff, we looked down.
I swallowed, ok, I didn't think things through, this place was very different at night.
*RMMMMMMM*
Chef caught up with us with his chainsaw on, was that thing real?
We looked at the cliff one more time, then Izzy and I exchanged glances.
She smiled madly and clung to my arm, "let's do it", I smiled at her too, grateful that I didn't have to do this alone, I nodded, "goodbye friend", she said goodbye.
We jumped before he could catch up with us, "AHHHHHHHHHHHH!".
*SPLASHHHH*

POV. Izzy
"WOO~ HOO~! That was so wild!" I said as we got out of the water on the shore, I have to give Lindsay a huge ass squeeze for giving me her scarf, my hair didn't have any mishaps thanks to that.
... That sounded a little perverted, did Cody pass something to me in that exchange of saliva? Speak of the devil, "Cody?", I looked in all directions, "oh, there you are", he was standing on the edge of the lake saying nothing, "What's wrong?", did he go into depression again?
"... Izzy," he turned around, and looked at me with a lot of determination, "What would you do if I told you I wanted to flip the script?... and catch the killer?" he asked me smiling.
If before I was sure that I liked him, now I want him to give my children a surname, I smiled, my boy is back, "I would tell you...", I blushed, "but then this would stop being a family friendly program", we have to think about the children.

POV. Courtney
My eye trembled from the stress, "Geoff..."
"Yeah Courtney?".
"One of the rules of 'slasher' movies is supposed to be not split up, right?"
"Of course, sis."
My eye trembled again, "then you can tell me, where the hell are the others!?".
Only Geoff and I were left at the campfire.
"Sadie had to go to the bathroom, so LeShawna went with her, and Owen said he sniffed something in the kitchen, so he went investigate," I facepalmed, the situation was falling apart.
Confessional
Courtney
"I'm probably the least experienced person in horror movies, and yet it's the others who don't listen to their own rules, it's quite frustrating."
End of confessional
I was debating whether to go and get them or not, I didn't know which was worse in a horror movie. At the end I just took a seat, "I'm going to give them twenty minutes, if they don't come back by then we'll go get them."
"Hahahaha!".
"What's so funny?" Was he laughing at me?
"Look at you, completely worried about others, you're nothing like the Courtney who only thought about winning."
I blushed a little with embarrassment, "I haven't really changed that much."
"Yes you have, the Courtney of before wouldn't have helped me deal with my separation from Bridgette, I wouldn't be worried about her rivals either, you've become an amazing leader throughout this competition as well."
I remembered all the things that happened so far, I hadn't realized that I was no longer the same person as when I started the program, I smiled, "you're right, I think I've changed a bit, but don't get confused, I still want to win."
"I'd be really worried if you didn't want it Ouch!", I kicked him in the leg for that comment.
You know?... I owe you an apology Geoff."
"Why?"
"Bridgette was just kicked out... because I had decided that we would vote for you."
"..."
"In a way, I pushed her into that terrible situation and sealed her fate," I hadn't told anyone, but I still blamed myself for Bridgette's expulsion.
"... I... I had already imagined it."
"You must both hate me."
"Hey, don't worry, yes, in a way it was your fault, but I was responsible for Heather getting immunity to begin with, plus you helped me endure it later, and I'm sure Bridgette wouldn't have said goodbye to you if she hated you, so cheer up," he told me.
I smiled, "thank you Geoff, you're a true friend."
"There's no point."
I got up from my seat, "It's been twenty minutes, let's go find the rest."
"Were you counting all this time? That's sick, dude," I facepalmed again.

POV. Owen
I went into the kitchen trying to be as quiet as possible.
*Cruck, cruck, cruck*
But like any good horror movie, the floorboards rattled with every step I took. However, I managed to find what I had been sniffing from the campfire.
"Oh, sweet chocolate candy! Brownnies!", a whole tray of brownnies placed on the table and fresh out of the oven, "the others are not going to believe this, come with daddy", I took them and gave them a strong sniff, "ah~, just like mom used to do them".
But out of nowhere I heard an asthmatic breath, "Hello? Is anyone there?", a finger touched my shoulder, I turned around, the crazy killer with the hook was standing behind me, "oh hello buddy", I looked straight ahead again.
*RMMMMMM*
My eyes widened when I realized who was behind me, "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!".
A transition later...
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!".
*Slap*
"Owen, you can stop now."
"Ah! Chris! Oh no, did the killer catch you too?"
"Hahaha, far from it, buddy, it's just Chef," the killer took off his mask showing that he was the chef.
"I don't understand, what's going on?"
"This week's challenge was to watch a horror movie and then survive it, Courtney guessed it after we left."
"Oh right, I had completely forgotten, hahahahahaha, wow, you fooled me."
"The good news is you're safe, the bad news is you're the first to lose the challenge."
"Oh the hell... can I at least keep these brownnies?" he picked up one.
"Sure, why not?"
"Great", that's already a win for me.
"See, we can see everything from the monitors and there are still seven more to scare."

POV. LeShawna
"Thank you for walking me to the bathroom, LeShawna," Sadie told me.
"No problem girl, I'm not going to let Chris get away with scaring us," that crazy host definitely has something planned.
We went into the bathroom, "Oh my God!"
"My eyes!"
"Very funny both of you," Heather said annoyed, she was wrapped in a towel and with a facial on her face, she was shaving her legs when we walked in.
"When was the last time you shaved? Those look like men's legs."
Instead of screaming like I expected her to, she just turned around, "Lindsay was doing it for me."
"..."
"..."
I had my eyes wide open, "Do you miss her?", Sadie entered one of the bathroom stalls leaving us alone.
Confessional
LeShawna
"Are you telling me that that ice woman actually has a beating heart?"
End of confessional
"Pff, of course not, yes, she was helpful while she was here, yes, she was the only person who talked to me constantly, yes, she fixed my hair and always did what I told her. She was completely naïve and a fool... Why should I miss her?... she was just... a means… to... victory...", the more she talked, the more her voice faded.
"I don't think you can even convince yourself that's true," I never thought I'd ever see Heather feel guilty about something, I guess she's really human.
"Anyway, she had to leave eventually, everyone does, in this game there can only be one left," it could be just me, but something tells me that she's not just talking about the competition anymore.
"That may be true, but it also matters how they leave, and so do those who are still here, many have someone they miss and it's because of them that they continue to endure this place, you'd understand if you had dared to look at Cody after you stabbed his best friend in the back."
She twitched at the nerd's mention, "What does he fit in all of this? You've seen him, he's got that red-haired bitch now to please him."
"But you still care about him, don't you?"
"..."
"If you didn't, you would have prevented Izzy from comforting him these last few days, but instead, you bit your tongue and hold on all this time."
"Oh, and now you're going to tell me you care how I feel?"
"No, I won't, because I don't, neither most of the people in this program. But there are two who do care, and one of them left this island last week."
"..."
"I don't know what the hell that guy saw in you, because you're not a good person, but he did, which makes you the luckiest person in this camp, whether you know it or not. If you talk to him, I'm sure he'd forgive you, and that's more than you deserve."
"..."
"..."
We were left in a tense silence, someone had to say something to Heather for everything she had done so far, I'm glad that someone was me, I needed to release some stress.
*Wash*
"Ah~, I'm feeling better now, did I miss something?" asked Sadie coming out of the bathroom, didn't I hear anything we said?
*Toc, toc*
Someone knocked on the bathroom door, "Hey, it's occupied?" I said somewhat tensely.
...
...
...
*CRACK* *RMMMMMMMM*
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!", A chainsaw burst through the bathroom door frightening us, the killer reached in and slammed it from the inside.
"It's the hook killer!" cried Sadie.
"Are you serious!?" asked Heather incredulously.
He stood on his towering six feet in front of us, who huddled together.
"Now what do we do?" asked Heather
"The only thing we can do," I said seriously... then I shoved Heather into the killer, "Keep the white girl!"
"What!?" the killer put his huge hand on Heather's shoulder, "LeShawna! You'll pay for this!" she shouted.
Sadie and I took the opportunity to run away.
Confessional
LeShawna
"Do I feel guilty for throwing Heather against a crazy killer? Just a little," she said, showing her thumb and forefinger clenched.
Sadie
"Uff, thank goodness I emptied my bladder".
End of confessional
We ran off into the woods, but on the way we ended up getting separated, I have no idea how long I was running, I just know that I stopped when I saw something that wasn't here before, "*gasp, gasp*, What the-?" I had come to a tent set up in the middle of the forest, I walked in and I couldn't believe what I saw, "Owen?" doing here.
"LeShawna!" said Chris cheerfully.
"Chris!" I said angrily.
"LeShawna!" shouted Heather as she was escorted by the killer.
"Heather?"
"Chef!" shouted Owen.
"Chef!?" shouted Heather incredulously, chef taking off her mask.
"Owen!" she now glared at him angrily.
"Heather," he said, frightened.
"Chris!" the crazy host shouted.
"Alright, enough, what the hell is going on here?" I asked.
"The challenge obviously, you're both eliminated by the way, although I have to admit, throwing Heather into the killer, a very interesting LeShawna strategy, hahahahahaha," Chris said.
"Thank you," Heather wasn't pleased at all.
"Can I go now?" she said angrily.
"No, you have to wait for the others."
"Great," said annoyed.

POV. Courtney
"Well, at least now we know they passed through here," I said as we looked at the broken bathroom door.
"But where did they go?" asked Geoff.
I looked at the ground, "to the forest," I said, pointing to some footprints heading into the forest.
Geoff swallowed, "oh... great."
"Come on, we have to find them."
...
We headed into the woods, but we could barely see, I wish I had at least a flashlight at hand, "okay Geoff, I need you to stay alert."
"..."
"Geoff?" I turned around, but the party bro was gone, "Geoff?... are you serious!?"

"Ha, that bush looks like a deer... that's crazy, don't you think Courtney?", I looked to my right, but I couldn't see Courtney anymore, "oh, oh", How long was I distracted?, "Courtney!", I started wandering through the woods, which wasn't a good idea considering it was so dark and I didn't have a flashlight, "Court- woahhhhhhh!", I ended up falling down a slope, rolling like a log all the way down.
*Splash*
Until I fell into muddy water, does this island have swamps? "uah~ Anyone? I can't see, I have moss on my face," I started walking around trying to find someone.

"Sadieeeeeeee~".
I swallowed, someone or something said my name.
"Sadieeeeeee~".
"Who is it!? Show yourself."
*Crack*
A swamp monster covered in mud and moss appeared out of the darkness, "Sadieeeeee~", That's the last thing I remember.
...
POV. Geoff
"Sadieeeeee~, cough, cough, cough, Sadie, it's me, Geoff", I said to the BFF standing in front of me, but she just stared at me wide-eyed, "Sadie?"
*Boom*
She collapsed stiff as a statue, "oh wow, I'm sorry dudette, it looks like I gave you a good scare," I said as I scratched the back of my neck a little embarrassed, "I must look like a monster right now, don't you think so buddy?" I asked the huge figure standing next to me breathing asthmatically.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"... Oh, shit", I said when it all went down, "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!", I'm sure that was heard all over the camp.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!".
"Geoff?", I asked worriedly, I'm sure it was him, I swallowed, I was starting to hate this challenge.
Out of nowhere I heard an asthmatic breath, Who's walking in the woods with asthma?, "Hello?".
*Crack*
A huge figure appeared out of the darkness, it was the hook and chainsaw killer, "AHHHHHHHHH!", I started running, but every time I turned, he was walking behind me, "Why the hell is he so close if I'm running!? That doesn't make sense! I hate horror movies!"

POV. Third person
The costumed chef was walking through the woods. After leading Geoff and the passed out Sadie to the tent with the others, he went back out to find the two who managed to escape him the first and last time he was missing.
*Crack*
He turned quickly only to see Izzy, paralyzed in a sneaking position.
*RMMMMMMM*
"Oh, oh,", said the crazy girl, then proceeded to run away from the murderer, "hahahaha, come on, you can't catch me," she sneered.
The costumed chef narrowed his eyes, annoyed by Izzy's taunts.
Out of nowhere she picked up a vine and started swinging, "Ahhhh~ ahhhh~ ahhhh~", ok, now he was getting tired of this.
But it looks like Izzy's luck ran out, as she reached a rock face, was now cornered, turned around only to see the panting killer behind her.
"Oh~ no~", she collapsed to the floor dramatically with her hand on her forehead, "there is no way out anymore~, it looks like you won~", the chef advanced towards her, "oh~ if only there was something else I could do~", Chef took another step forward, "ah~ wait~", she looked into his eyes, "yes there is~".
That last step activated a vine hidden in a pile of leaves that tied to the great man's leg lifting him headlong into the air, in the process he lost his saw, the killer had been captured.

POV. Cody
I came out from behind the tree I was hiding in, "well looks like the trap worked, this was all thanks to you Izzy, you're a great actre- Woah! mmm".
Before I could finish Izzy jumped on me wrapping her legs around my waist and her arms around my neck, I held her instinctively, then she gave me a loud kiss on the lips.
"MWAAAAAAAH~!, Woo~ Hoo~!, Did you see that?" she said as she got off, "first it was like 'oh no, the killer, I have to run away' and then Bang! I'm swinging through the woods, then it's like "oh no, there's no way out now," and then Washah! The rope catches him by the leg hahaha... It was a lot of fun," she said incredibly quickly.
"Mm", I just nodded a little giddy from that kiss of her, I guess I must get used to it now, although I don't think it's good for my heart.
Chef was trying to reach the rope with the grappling hook, but Izzy threatened him with the chainsaw, I approached him.
"It's time to see who's behind the mask," I always wanted to say that.
...
"Did anyone lose this?" I said with the chef's mask in my hand as Izzy and I entered the tent.
"CODY!".
"Woah!", They all approached me in a big hug.
"You are the same as before."
"You're back."
"That was amazing bro."
"Well done short stuff."
"That's the way it's done."
"Well done, it looks like the two of you won the challenge," Chris said.
I smiled, "thanks guys, I'm sorry if I worried you these past few days."
"No problem, buddy, we all get it," Geoff told me.
"You were great, too, friend," LeShawna told Izzy.
"Hahahahaha, thank you LeShawna," they high-fived.
I looked at the one person who hadn't said anything, Heather looked at me for a moment, but then looked away, "well done", was all she said.
Things were going to be awkward between us for a while longer, "nice towel", she blushed and held it a little tighter, on the other hand, she handled the grudge more mockingly than maliciously.
"Hey guys, Courtney is still on the run from the killer," Izzy said, looking at the monitors.
My brain immediately reset at Izzy's words, I looked at the monitors in shock, Courtney was running away from the killer.
Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit! With all the recent events, I completely forgot that a real killer appeared in the camp during this challenge.
"Guys, if Chef is here, who's out there with Courtney?" asked LeShawna, frightened.
Silence reigned in the tent for a while, then we all ran out to find Courtney.

POV. Courtney
I don't know how long I've been running, but unlike the chef in the hide-and-seek challenge, I couldn't leave this guy behind. I was already starting to feel exhausted, "Leave me alone! I can sue you! You know!?"
*RMMMMMMMMMMM*
Okay, that didn't help, better to try to lose him in another way.
I got into the middle of a wall of bushes, "Ouch!", the branches tore some places of my clothes, as well as my face, but I kept moving forward, I could hear how he was struggling to pass, it was working, I finally got out of the bushes, "it's my chance", I started running even before I came out.
*Break*
As I ran my neck felt lighter, I put my hand there, and my eyes opened when I noticed that something was missing, I quickly stopped and turned around, "no, no, no, no, no, no, no", I looked everywhere but I couldn't find it, "There it is!", my necklace was on the ground, it must have caught on one of the branches of the bushes, And it came loose when I ran. I was going to take it in my hand.
*CRUSH*
But it was stepped on by a dull foot.
*RMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM*
I just looked at that boot in shock, did he just step on the only thing I have left of Duncan? Do you have any idea how important it is to me?
*Crack*
I could swear I heard something snap inside my head and my eye started shaking like crazy, fuck Miss Kindness, I want blood.

POV. Cody
"Courtney!" we all desperately shouted her name, myself included.
Unlike Gwen, we had no idea where she was exactly, as the last time we saw her she was on the run. I was looking at my notebook, some of the maps I made should give us an idea.
"ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!".
"What was that?"
"It sounded like the roar of an animal."
"What animal?"
"Squawk."
"Is that Kevin?" said Owen.
We all looked at the bird in the distance, it was in the air circling in circles.
"He's a seagull, what is he doing in the middle of the woods?" asked LeShawna.
I knew, "Courtney! Fast! Everybody follow that bird!" we all started running in the direction Kevin was flying.
"You know? This could be really, really good for ratings, but bad for lawsuits," Chris told the chef.
...
Finally, we got to the place where Courtney was, "Courtney!" No one was prepared for what awaited us.
"That *hit* collar *hit* was *hit* a *hit* gift *hit* from *hit* someone *hit* very *hit* important *hit* for *hit* me *hit* don't *hit* you *hit* think *hit* that *hit* you'll *hit* get *hit* away *hit* after *hit* crushing *hit* it *hit* you *hit* damn *hit* dirty *hit* ape!", Courtney sat astride the killer, holding a handful of his shirt in one hand, as she turned his face to mush with the other.
The chainsaw was destroyed, and his hook was broken, what the hell happened here before we arrived?
*Hit, hit, hit, hit, hit, hit, hit, hit*.
We all watched the spectacle with horror, disbelief, surprise and even morbid fascination in the case of some.
"Someone *hit* please *hit* get *hit* her *hit* off *hit* me!", begged the murderer.
"ARRRRRR!".
*HIT*
That last blow turned off the killer's lights, good night.
"Panting, panting, panting, gasping, gasping," Courtney looked a lot like when she found out about Gwen and Duncan's kiss, it honestly scared me a little bit. She looked at us and we all took a step back, but luckily, she seems to have regained her composure, "uh...", she looked at the mess around her, "I may have gotten a little carried away, oops?" she said sadly.
*Boom*
Sadie fainted again.

After that... fascinating show, Chris called the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to take away the unconscious killer, they arrived incredibly fast, Izzy was hidden the entire time they were here.
He was loaded onto the helicopter on a medical stretcher. The official story is that he fell face-first off a cliff. Because no one would ever believe that a sixteen-year-old girl beat him to death with just her bare hands. The outside world isn't ready for the craziness of real television.
Apparently, Courtney's anger was due to the killer stepping on her necklace, which unleashed the Amazon Courtney. Luckily the necklace was fine, just a little dirty, I wonder what wood it was made of.
But as they always say, the show must go on. Which brings us to our current situation, in front of Chris at the campfire ceremony.
"You were a good bird," I told Kevin as I stroked him on my lap.
"Cooing".
"Alright campers, I think it won't be a surprise to anyone if I tell you that Courtney gets immunity in this challenge," she looked very pleased to hear that, "not that it matters in the slightest."
Now she was angry, "Stop doing that!"
"Sadie, you were the only one who fainted during this challenge. A total of no less than three times, of which only one had the killer present, so I'm afraid your journey ends here, it's time for you to go."
Sadie looked a little discouraged at first, but then smiled, "I'm fine with that."
"Oh great, here we go again."
"Furious squawk."
"AH! Not my hair! Get it off my back!" the presenter ran off after I threw the seagull at him, it's safe to say we're all sick of him at night.
"I never expected to get this far, let alone without Katie, I thought I didn't have what it took for this program, but I made it to the final ten, I made very good friends, I faced danger and I succeeded, I'm proud of the person I am now... But I still miss my best friend, and I want to see her as soon as possible."
"Friend, I speak for everyone here when I tell you that you have earned our respect," Leshawna said.
"Yes, I really enjoyed our talks," Owen told him.
"Group hug!" yelled Izzy.
We all got up to embrace the BFF, all but one. I walked over to Heather, who was still sitting looking away.
I took her hand to get her up, she didn't resist when I brought her with the others, Izzy pulled us into the embrace... And she reciprocated along with all of us.

POV. Third person
Now Sadie was walking alone along the dock of shame, the boat of losers was coming, and in it, a person was waiting for her.
Sadie looked up.
*Tear*
And she began to shed tears in shock when Katie got off the boat.
They both ran and met halfway through each other's tears hugging, it didn't matter how, or why, only that they were together again.
"¡Waaaaaaaaaaa!... Katie, you... me".
"Sadie...".
"..."
"I'm very, very proud of you".
"I tried so hard!".
"I know, I saw you...", she hugged her again, "I always did", she told her with tears in her eyes, they continued with their hug between tears and joy, they didn't even care that Chef threw them into the boat to leave.
...
Chris now had feathers in his hair, and he was looking around alertly, "Ok, looks like I lost it. Has something been born between the techno-geek-mountaineer and the crazy-fugitive-survivor or is it just another passing whim of Izzy's? How does Heather really feel? Did anyone else panic of what Courtney is capable of when she's really angry?"
"Squawk".
"AH!... ahem, find out next week here on TOTAL... DRAMA... ISLAND!".
