At this moment, even though everyone seemed calm, I could see in their eyes that they were clearly very worried and nervous. I, on the other hand, saw all this with more confusion and at the same time concern.
"Alright, your first challenge is triple. Your first task will be to jump off this three hundred meter mountain into the lake." Chris said with a smile making Bridgette smile.
"Easy peasy." The surfer girl said with a confident smile looking at Tyler.
"If you look down you will see two marked areas. The wide one represents a part that we fill with sharks that eat people and psychopaths. Hahaha, within that area is the safe area, that is your target area, where we are sure that there are no sharks." Said the host with one making everyone look at this in horror.
"Is this legal?" I asked with concern making Chris laugh.
"For each member of the team that jumps and survives below, a drawer will be waiting for them with materials that they will need for the second part of the challenge. Build a jacuzzi!!." That statement made the teams look at each other. Some competitively but others concerned.
"The team that wins gets to have a crazy hot tub party. While the losers get to send someone home tonight." Chris said with a smile looking at us.
"Very good. The Killer Bass, you go first." The host said with a smile as Bridgette watched the huge, deep drop.
"Very good. Who goes first?" The surfer girl asked with a smile but everyone was silent until Owen suddenly started laughing.
"Don't worry. They always make the interns take the tests first to see if you'll survive." The big guy said with a smile but no one noticed that Chris was giggling remembering what happened hours before the show was to start.
Flashback
"We have to try these things, you know that." Chris said with a smile looking at Chef. The cook was wearing a bathing suit with a float.
"Do I look like an intern to you?" Chef asked with annoyance as he looked at Chris.
"No. But the interns we had are all in the hospital. Come on, jump the chicken." Chris said before starting to make chicken noises which annoyed Chef.
"I don't get paid enough for this shit." Said the cook before jumping but when he got to the water...
"Hey, I did it. I did it damn." Chef said with a smile but the smile quickly disappeared when something brushed against his foot.
"Something touched my foot!! Hey Chris, something's not right..." Chef suddenly dove into the water before quickly running off while a shark chased him.
"Well, it seems safe enough." Chris said with a smile before leaving the place.
End of Flashback.
"Well? Who's going to jump?" Eva asked with some annoyance but then they saw me walk until I was on the edge.
"I'll go. I'll wait for everyone downstairs." I said before taking a deep breath and letting myself fall. Everyone saw how I was falling and I managed to land in the safe zone making my team start screaming with joy.
"Okay, it's not a big deal. It's just one crazy jump into a lake full of sharks. But if he made it, so did I." Bridgette said before jumping, the girl would make it into the lake with a perfect dive in the safe zone.
"Well done Bridgette." I said smiling while Chef went to get us in a boat before going up.
"Thank you, you did fantastic too." The surfer girl said as the two of us reached the beach.
"They did it!!. Yes, yes. It's my turn!!." Tyler yelled before jumping but Bridgette and I winced when we saw the athlete hit one of the buoys in the water, but luckily he made it into the safe zone.
Geoff, Eva and Duncan were the next to jump. The teenagers had landed in the safe zone very easily but…
"Oh no. No way, I'm not doing this." DJ said fearfully making Chris walk up to the teen.
"Are you afraid of heights?" The host asked with a smile causing DJ to look at the adult.
"Yes, since I was a child." Said the teenager with some embarrassment making Chris smile.
"Okay, big guy. Unfortunately that makes you a chicken. You'll have to wear this for the rest of the challenge." Chris said with a smile before putting a chicken hat on DJ.
"Oh crap, are you serious?" Asked the teenager with some discomfort.
"Bawk, Bawk, Bawk. That means the chicken trail is over there." Chris said before pointing to an escalator. The teenager said nothing and walked to the escalator before going down.
"Very good, next." Chris said making Ezequiel jump into the lake. But the teenager would be hit by part of the mountain causing him to start spinning, however he would manage to enter the safe zone.
"Sorry Chris. I have a medical problem." Courtney said making the host look at the teenager.
"Which is it?." Asked the man curiously looking at the girl.
"One that keeps me from jumping off cliffs." Said the teenager with some seriousness but that made Chris smile.
"You can withdraw if you want. But that could cost your friends victory, and then they're going to hate you." Chris said with a smile making the girl smile.
"It's a calculated risk. I already saw the other team and I think nine of them are not going to jump." Courtney said with a confident smile looking at the other team.
"Very good. Here is your chicken hat." Chris said before putting a chicken hat on Courtney.
"Okay let's see. Wait, that's seven jumpers and two chickens. We're three short." Chris said before looking at Sadie holding hands with Katie.
"I'm not going to jump without Katie!!." Sadie said sadly as the girl and her best friend held each other's hands.
"We have to be on the same team Chris." Katie said before she and Sadie began to beg.
"I'll switch places with her." Izzy said making Chris sigh in resignation.
"Ugh, good!! Alright, Izzy you'll be with The Screaming Gophers, Katie you're with The Killer Bass now." Chris said making Katie and Sadie whoop with joy while Izzy walks over to where the other team is.
"That means you two are next." Chris said making Katie and Sadie smile and run.
"Here we go The Killer Bass!!." The two girls yelled before jumping off the mount and landing in the safe zone.
Owen backed away in a bit of fear while Chris noted this with a smile.
"Very good, Killer Bass. They only have one last jumper left. No pressure, mate." The host said making the teenager relax.
"Okay, if there is pressure!!." Chris yelled making Owen very nervous.
We all started yelling to support Owen but the other team was telling the big guy not to jump. The teen clenched his fists before putting on floats and beginning to stretch.
Owen
"Oh, I was very nervous. The thing is, I'm not a good swimmer." Owen said with concern.
Geoff
"I look at the subject and I think. He will never make it." Geoff said with a smile looking at the camera.
Gwen
"The truth, I thought. If he jumps. He's going to die." Gwen said in a deadpan manner.
Me
"I understand Owen's fear. I won't blame him if he gives up, but I know he can." I said with a small smile.
"Give a good run buddy, you can do it." Chris said with a smile as Owen backed away from the edge of the mountain.
"I'm going to die. Now yes, I'm going to die." Said the teenager in fear as we were all yelling for him while the other team was making him back off. But Owen clenched his fists tightly before running.
"There I go!!!." Owen gave a big jump causing Chris to see how the teenager fell at high speed.
"Oh shit. AHHH!!." Owen was falling at high speed while he was yelling making me look at this with a lot of concern.
"Quick everyone with me!!." I yelled as everyone looked at me in confusion. When Owen fell into the water suddenly a gigantic wave came out of the water, before someone was swept away they saw an amber colored shield appear and block the water.
"Everyone alright?" I asked as I made the shield disappear while everyone looked at me in shock.
"Oh, yes!!. Yes!!. Who's the boss!?." Owen yelled with joy causing the whole team to celebrate but some still looked at me with shock.
Duncan
"That boy can generate electricity from his body and a shield? Hahaha, man that fox is full of tricks." Duncan said with a smile looking at the camera.
Courtney
"Honestly, I'm surprised. I never thought someone could do something like that." Courtney said in surprise.
"Umm, very good. We'll be back in five minutes until the sharks are back in the water." Chris said looking at the camera before going into commercials.
"That was awesome, man. Umm, is something wrong?" Geoff asked when he saw that Owen seemed somewhat insecure.
"I think, I lost my bathing suit." The teenager said with embarrassment. That made part of the team disgusted by the comment.
"Hey dude. That was awesome, how did you do that?" Duncan asked as he looked at me.
"Sorry about that. I used my power to create that shield, I guess my instincts made me believe they were in danger and I reacted that way." I said somewhat shyly as some passers-by took the sharks back into the water.
"Power? Do you use magic?" Geoff asked curiously making me laugh sheepishly but Courtney rolled her eyes.
"Guys please. Magic is fake, it must be something more than just that." The girl said but then they saw Duncan approaching.
"Hey, princess. This fox generates electricity from its body and creates shields. If it's not magic, then what is it for you?" Duncan asked with a raised eyebrow causing Courtney to roll her eyes with a sigh.
"The magic is fake. It's just well-trained tricks and illusions to the human eye. The simple fact that he created electricity from his body is somewhat doubtful, but creating a shield? I don't know, maybe the water wasn't going to hit us." to us and changed direction and it was only a reflection of the light in the water that made that color." Courtney said with her arms crossed.
"Whatever you say, hen. I am sure of what I said before." Duncan said with his eyes rolling while I was very embarrassed and nervous.
"I have to be more careful. I can't use my magic." I said quietly as Owen arrived with us in his bathing suit and a somewhat green bodysuit.
"And we're back. Screaming Gophers, if you beat The Killer Bass mark, then we'll give you some wheelbarrows to carry your boxes." Chris said with a smile that made Trent smile.
"Alright guys. Who goes first?" Asked the teenage musician with a smile while everyone was silent.
"I'm sorry, but I didn't jump." Heather said seriously which got everyone's attention.
"Why not?." Beth asked curiously as Heather crossed her arms in annoyance.
"Oh hello. National TV, my hair is getting wet." The teen said but that caused a throbbing vein in Gwen and Leshawna.
"You must be kidding." The goth girl said with annoyance.
"If she doesn't jump then neither do I." Lindsay said with a smile making Heather smile.
"Oh, you're going to jump." Leshawna said with annoyance which annoyed Heather.
"Who says it?" Asked the teenager with annoyance while rays came out of the eyes of the two teenagers causing the rest of the team to recoil in fear.
"I said so. I'm not going to lose this challenge because you don't want to get your hair wet, you spoiled little girl." Leshawna said venomously as Noah, Gwen, and Trent stepped back.
"Back home diva in tight pants and wannabe rap star." Heather said in annoyance causing Beth, Lindsay, Cody, and Harold to back away.
"And you, the mall shopper with the ponytail who dreams of being prom queen." Leshawna said with annoyance but that made Heather smile.
"At least I am, popular." The teenager said which caused everyone to see this with shock except Justin, the teenager was very focused looking at himself in the mirror.
"Wow…" was all I said as my fox ears fell down. Despite the distance, my ears let me hear everything clearly.
"Jump. Now." Leshawna said venomously as the girl met Heather's eyes.
"Force me." Heather said with annoyance. Leshawna suddenly grabbed the teen before throwing her off the mountain. Fortunately for Heather, she managed to land in the safe zone.
"Ugh, Leshawna. You're dead!!." Heather yelled angrily as the other teen was giggling.
"Hey, at least I got you to the safe zone, right!? I hope I land there too." The teen said before jumping up. Fortunately, Leshawna managed to land in the safe zone.
"I thought this was going to be a talent show." Lindsay said uncertainly making Chris laugh.
"Hahaha, yes. Hahaha, no." Chris said seriously. Lindsay gulped before jumping up as the girl screamed in horror.
One by one. The Screaming Gophers team started to jump but couldn't help but scream due to fear, except Izzy, the girl didn't stop laughing until she fell. However, Justin had fallen into the shark zone.
"He fell into the shark zone!!" I screamed in horror. Everyone started yelling to make Justin swim fast when two sharks were close to him. I was ready to go help the teenager but I watched with surprise as Justin just looked at the sharks with a smile making the animals bring him to the beach.
"No, I can't do it. I'm too scared." Beth said fearfully as Chris pulled out another chicken hat.
"Very sorry!!." Beth yelled as Cody and Leshawna teased the farm girl by making chicken noises.
"That's kind of pathetic, right?" Lindsay asked looking at Heather.
"Very pathetic." Said the teenager but that bothered me.
"Don't blame her. Sometimes fears can be stronger than our willpower, she couldn't because of the panic she felt. As a team you shouldn't say she's pathetic just because she didn't jump." I said annoyed but that annoyed Heather.
"Mind your own business, fox." Heather said venomously. We both looked at each other in annoyance but the girl backed away when I began to show my fangs and my eyes glowed an amber hue.
"Calm down, friend. Don't make too much of it." Geoff said with a smile as he led me away with the rest of the team but I gave Heather one last look before leaving as the girl stared back at me.
Heather
"That fox is going down. I don't care if he can generate electricity from his body, he'll be sorry he messed with me." Heather said seriously with crossed arms.
"Very good, Harold. You're last. Are you going to jump or are you going to give up?" Chris asked with a smile as the teen surveyed the safe zone.
Everyone started yelling to support or make Harold back off but then we saw the teenager jump but with a small detail that made us guys petrified.
"Oh no. Quick Harold, close your legs before…" I tried to yell but suddenly all the boys, including me, felt a phantom pain seeing that Harold had fallen into the safe zone with his legs spread causing the teenager to fall. I yelled so loudly that even the sharks winced.
"Uh. I hate when that happens. But. Great news, Screaming Gophers, you are the winners of the first challenge!!." Chris yelled through a megaphone causing the entire rival team to start celebrating while our team was depressed by the statement.
After pulling Harold out of the water, giving him a few minutes to recover. Screaming Gophers started carrying their boxes to camp while my companions were having trouble carrying the boxes. Eva, Tyler, DJ, Duncan and I had no difficulty but the others could barely drag the boxes.
"Ouch, I think I got a splinter." Courtney said as the girl looked at her hand but Eva reached over to pick up the box from the teenager.
"Stop complaining and move your box, chicken." The athletic girl said coldly before slamming Courtney's box hard on the ground.
"Hey, I'm the only one with camping experience. They need me." Courtney said, on the other hand, DJ and Eva looked at each other with a raised eyebrow.
"Umm, I have to go to the bathroom." Tyler said with some embarrassment approaching DJ and Eva.
"Ugh, good. But hurry up, we're already behind schedule." Eva said with annoyance as Tyler quickly left.
"Oh, I have to go too." Katie said with a sheepish smile.
"Oh dear me too." Sadie said shyly before quickly leaving with her best friend which annoyed Eva a lot.
"Fantastic, now we're never going to get there." The girl said with annoyance but then she felt a hand on her shoulder.
"Don't worry, Eva. I can carry the boxes for Tyler, Sadie, and Katie." I said smiling but that made DJ look at this with some concern.
"Are you sure, friend? Aren't you going to get tired?" The teenager asked with concern making me smile.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine. I'll use my tails to carry them." I said smiling before using my tails to lift the other boxes before walking on while my companions looked on in surprise.
"Well, that makes things easier." Courtney said before everyone carried the boxes back to camp.
"So, you're from Metropolis right? I heard it's a crazy city full of monsters and humans, how are things over there?" Duncan asked curiously causing me to look at the Punk boy.
"Everything is fine. It's true, things are a bit intense but little by little the others are accepting to live with monsters." I said smiling as I continued carrying the boxes.
"All this time I thought they were false rumors. How is it possible that the monsters are real?" Courtney asked curiously making me a little nervous.
"Well. We've spent a lot of time in the shadows, I thought it would be time to leave the rivalry behind and start living among humans. It was difficult but little by little we managed it." I said smiling but suddenly we saw Courtney touching her eye.
"Ouch, I think something stung my eye." Said the girl with some pain.
"Are you okay? Let me see your eye." I said with concern, but Courtney pushed my hand away.
"No! Umm, we better continue." Courtney said before quickly leaving.
"Twenty-eight bottles of rum on the wall..." Everyone on the Screaming Gophers team had been singing until Beth noticed something.
"Hey, look. It's the camp!!" the farm girl yelled with a smile as Chris stood there drinking lemonade by the cabins.
"Campers!! Welcome to the second part of the challenge. To build your jacuzzi you will need the materials that are inside the boxes. But in this challenge you will not use your hands and there will be no tools either." The host said with a smile making everyone look at this with a raised eyebrow.
"So how are we going to open these silly boxes?" Heather asked annoyed making Chris laugh.
"Very easy. They will use their teeth." Said the host causing everyone to see this with surprise but others listened to it with annoyance.
"Magnificent." Gwen said with annoyance as they all began to open the boxes.
"We're back!!" Eva turned only to see Sadie and Katie.
"Good. Benja, give the boxes to those two." Said the athletic girl seriously making me look at this with a raised eyebrow.
"Are you sure, Eva? I can carry these boxes with no problem." I said looking at the girl but she shook her head.
"No. They must cooperate, you have done enough." Eva said, which made me nod and put down one of the boxes before continuing as Katie and Sadie began to drag their box.
"Ugh, hey, don't you feel like something is itching?" Katie asked with some irritation.
"Yes, too much." Sadie said as the girls began to feel a burn.
"Courtney, are you sure you don't want me to see your eye?" I asked with some concern but the girl didn't turn to look at me.
"I'm fine, do not worry." The girl said as we all continued but Katie and Sadie were going at a slower pace than us.
The Screaming Gophers were having a hard time. Everyone was struggling to open the boxes with their teeth, some had given up because their teeth hurt.
"Hey, I think I opened it!!" Izzy yelled before yanking hard on the rope that was in her teeth before opening the box but then the girl covered her mouth with her hands and began to jump.
"Ouch!!. Oh, the rope burned my tongue!!." the girl yelled with some difficulty as she stuck out her tongue, some flinched when they saw Izzy's burned tongue.
My team and I were almost close to camp, however Katie and Sadie were far behind due to the slow pace they were going.
"Ugh, it's really itching." Katie said with some annoyance. The two teens didn't notice that their bottoms were very red.
"I can't take it anymore. I have to scratch myself!!" Sadie yelled before starting to scratch her butt with Katie as Chris made his way over to where we were.
"You two are way behind the team, like, way back. What's going on?" Chris asked curiously looking at Katie and Sadie.
"Their butts itch." Courtney said but when the host looked at the girl, Chris almost fell over when he saw that the teenager's eye was badly swollen.
"Oh my god, this is wrong!!" Chris yelled making me turn around, when I saw Courtney drop my boxes due to the impact and I quickly went to where the girl is.
"My God, Courtney. This is so wrong, let me see your eye." I said before taking a closer look at the girl's eye.
"Did they bend over when they went to urinate in the woods?" Bridgette asked Katie and Sadie.
"Yes, on some plants." Katie said making Bridgette put a hand on her chin as she thought of something.
"Did you happen to see what plants they crouched on?" asked the surfer girl curiously.
"They were half oval and they were all over the place." Sadie said with some difficulty.
"They were on the floor and were they this big?" Bridgette asked curiously as Katie and Sadie nodded. The surfer girl couldn't help but chuckle a little.
"They crouched over poison ivy." That statement caused Katie and Sadie to start screaming before beginning to crawl on the sand to soothe the itch.
"Oh my gosh this is amazing!!" Chris started cracking up as Katie and Sadie begged for help.
"Very good. There doesn't seem to be any damage to the eye, it's an inflammation of the eyelids. I think I can take care of that but I need some herbal medicine. Bridgette, take Sadie and Katie to the water, that will relieve the burning and itching. " I said as we all went back to carrying the boxes while Bridgette led Sadie and Katie away.
The Screaming Gophers had managed to open the boxes with some difficulty. While some campers relax to soothe their aching teeth, the others were checking boxes.
"Guys, I have wood." Harold said with a smile before taking some planks of wood out of a box.
"And here I have some tools and a tarp." Trent said with a smile as the musical teen pulled out some hammers, screwdrivers, and a tarp.
"Hey. I just want to say don't be serious about you being a wannabe rapper, and I love your earrings." Heather said with a smile making Leshawna smile.
"Really? Well, I'm sorry I threw you off the cliff like that." Leshawna said with a smile as Heather chuckled a bit.
"Oh, okay. I guess I needed a little push. Truce?" The girl asked as she offered her hand to Leshawna.
"Yes I accept." the girl said with a smile as she and Heather shook hands.
"Were all those things you said to Lavender serious?" Lindsay asked curiously as she and Heather left as did Leshawna.
"She's called Leshawna. And no, she's going down. And by the way, those are the scariest earrings I've ever seen in my entire life." Heather said with a giggle making Lindsay look surprised.
"But, if you don't like her, then why are you nice to her?" the girl asked curiously as Heather put on lipstick.
"Haven't you seen those shows? Keep your friends close and your enemies closer." Heather said with a smile making Lindsay even more surprised.
"Oh, but I'm your friend, right?" Lindsay asked with a smile as she looked at the teenager.
"Oh yes. For now." Heather said with some seriousness as they all began to take things out of the boxes.
"Finally we arrived." Everyone turned around only to see me and my team arriving before taking the boxes down.
"Good to see you, how are you?" Trent asked with a smile but Leshawna noticed something.
"Hey, aren't you missing a couple of white girls?" The girl asked curiously making everyone look at each other. On the other hand, Katie and Sadie were relaxing in the water as the itch went away.
"They went to have a drink." Courtney said but then Leshawna froze when she saw the girl's eye.
"Oh my god, what happened to your eye?" Leshawna asked in horror causing Courtney to cover her eye.
"Nothing, it's just an allergy." Courtney said with a nervous smile as Leshawna watched with a raised eyebrow.
"I think it's getting worse." Ezekiel said as Owen nodded.
"Shut up, we can't let the others know." Courtney said seriously but then we saw Chris arriving.
"Campers, since you are all here. We can start with the last part of the challenge. In this challenge you will have to use all the materials you have to make a jacuzzi, here is something that will help you a lot." Chris said before handing us some plans with a smile.
"Good luck, campers. You're going to need it." The host said with a chuckle as Heather opened the map before she froze.
"Chris, what kind of crap is this!?." the teen yelled before showing the blueprints to her causing Chris to chuckle.
"I almost forgot. The plans you have in your hands right now are for building the hot tubs but in different languages. Screaming Gophers, you have the instructions in Russian, and Killer Bass, you have the instructions in Japanese. Good luck." The host said before leaving while he laughed making Heather very upset.
"This is bad. Who can read this!?" Courtney yelled in annoyance but then they saw me raise her hand.
"I can read it. I can read Japanese." I said smiling before opening the plans.
"Friend, what other things do you know how to do?" Geoff asked with a smile making me laugh.
"Believe me, there are many things I've learned throughout my life, and I still have a lot ahead of me." I said smiling as Heather dropped the plans.
"To hell. We'll have to do our best not to lose leadership, let's get to work!!." the girl yelled before getting to work with the rest of the other team.
"Bridgette, go find Katie and Sadie. Everyone else open the boxes. We have to do this as fast as possible!!" Courtney yelled as the surfer girl quickly went off to find the other girls.
"Okay. Where do we start, Kitsune?" Duncan asked curiously as I looked at the plans.
"Very good. DJ, Duncan, Tyler, Owen and I, we are going to organize the materials for the construction of the jacuzzi, Geoff, Eva, Courtney, and Ezekiel go get buckets, when Bridgette returns with Katie and Sadie they can help collect water. Everyone ready?" I asked seriously making everyone smile.
"Very good brother. Let's go to work." Geoff said with a smile as we all quickly went to build the hot tub.
Duncan, Tyler and Owen were building the base of the jacuzzi while I showed them the steps so as not to make mistakes while I helped DJ with the tarp.
Beth, Harold, and Justin attempted to assemble the hot tub base, however due to a lack of instructions, the hot tub base was falling apart. That made Heather punch herself out of frustration.
Geoff, Ezekiel, Eva and Courtney had brought in a huge number of buckets while Duncan helped me place the nails to reinforce the hot tub.
Heather was going to take a hammer but Gwen would take it too. The two girls fought over the tool until they mistakenly threw the hammer, the object hitting Harold in the crotch and was finished off when Izzy hit him with a plank of wood.
"That's team, keep it up, good job." I said smiling while the team was collecting the water from the sea. On the other hand, I saw that the other team seemed to have a hard time keeping their hot tub upright.
"Umm, hey. I can read a little Russian. If you want I can give you a hand or advice on reinforcing the jacuzzi." I said with a small smile. Leshawna was going to speak but Heather quickly cut her off.
"Mind your own business, fox. We don't need your help." The girl said angrily. I was going to answer but Duncan put a hand on my shoulder.
"Let's go, friend. We're almost done." Duncan said before leaving with me.
"Umm, I think we're going to need some more duct tape." Heather turned only to see Beth and Lindsay clumsily trying to tape the hot tub down.
The moment arrive. We were all now in front of our hot tubs while Chris was looking at ours in an analytical way.
"This is a formidable jacuzzi!!." The host shouted with a smile. We all started to party as Owen got out of the hot tub with no clothes on.
The Screaming Gophers were very pale seeing how Chris was seriously looking at the other Jacuzzi. However, just a light touch was enough to create a water leak that drenched Chris before the Jacuzzi broke completely.
"Well. I think we all know who the winner is by now." Chris said with a smile while Courtney had a confident smile.
"Screaming Gophers!!" That statement left us very shocked while the rival team screamed for happiness. However, Courtney was furious.
"What!? That's unfair!! We built an awesome jacuzzi and they just created a mound of wood and tape!!." The girl yelled angrily making Chris laugh.
"That's right. However, Screaming Gophers have the fewest chicken hats and they won two parts of the challenge. On the other hand, Killer Bass, you guys have two chickens and you failed the first two challenges." Chris said with a smile making Courtney only angrier.
"You're a…" Duncan and I quickly stopped the girl while Chris still kept his smile on.
"If this makes you feel any better. Killer Bass, as a consolation prize, you can use that hot tub all summer. But now, I'll see you tonight at the elimination gala." Chris said with a smile as my entire team and I looked at each other.
The night arrives. We were all now in the dining room. While the rival team ate a leisurely dinner, my team's table was filled with tension and worry.
"And now, what are we going to do?" Katie asked with some concern.
"Decide who we're going to kick out." Courtney said as we all looked at each other.
"I vote for the princess or the thick head." Duncan said pointing to DJ and Courtney, that shocked the two teens a lot.
"That because!?." the girl yelled with impact as Duncan crossed his arms.
"Because unless I'm mistaken, you two are the only ones with chicken hats. Besides, if we have to load a truck in the next challenge, I want the big guy's help." The Punk boy said before looking at DJ with a smile making the teenager smile with happiness.
"They need me, I'm the only one with…" Courtney was going to continue talking but Bridgette interrupted.
"We know, you used to be quite the camper. So why are we going to vote?" Bridgette asked curiously causing Courtney to look around the entire table.
"And if we vote for him?" Courtney asked before pointing at me making my kitsune tails stand on end.
"That because!?." I screamed in horror but then Duncan intervened.
"Hey. He was a great help to us. He jumped off the cliff, helped with the boxes, and helped us with the plans." Duncan said before getting up and starting to walk to the exit.
"Hey, where are you going!?" Courtney yelled as Duncan just kept walking.
"I've had enough of the jail shit. I'm going to go to sleep." The Punk boy said without much interest before leaving.
"I don't understand why we lost. If the other team is the one with the most girls." Ezekiel said. However, that statement surprised all of us, but especially the girls.
"What did you mean?" Bridgette asked coldly as she and Eva walked over to where Ezekiel was. On the other hand, DJ and Tyler quickly backed away when we could all feel the murderous auras on the two girls.
"Yes farmer. Speak!!." Eva yelled before hitting the table hard causing all the plates to jump.
"Well, the boys are much stronger and better at sports than the girls." Ezekiel said but he just made every male on the team, including me, nearly hide under the table due to the death glares from the girls at our table.
"Oh man. This is not good." Geoff said with a nervous smile as we were almost ready for the worst.
"My dad told me that I should always take care of the girls, yes? And help them if they couldn't keep up with us." Ezekiel said but suddenly the teenager was grabbed by Eva's neck.
"Do you still think we need your help?" Eva asked venomously causing me to quickly get up and interfere with Geoff's help.
"Okay girls. Please give him a break." The party boy said as he kept Bridgette at bay.
"Eva. Relax, let Ezekiel go." I said as I put my hands on the girl's shoulders but she looked at me angrily.
"You better not be defending him, fox." Said the girl coldly making me nervous.
"I'm not defending him. What he said is clearly wrong. But if you hurt Ezekiel then you might get expelled." I said with concern. The girl only grunted before letting go of the homeschooled teenager.
"Fine. But if that idiot says something stupid again then I'll leave but he'll go to a grave." Eva said venomously but that made me smile nervously.
"Eva please. Relax, you shouldn't believe anything he says. I know a lot of girls who did incredible things and they are even stronger than any guy I know. And believe me I even know someone who has to contain their strength to give me a hug." I said with an embarrassed smile remembering the times Zarya almost broke my bones from a simple bear hug.
"Besides, girls. He doesn't even think that men are smarter than girls." Geoff said with a smile while Ezekiel was under the table.
"But, boys are smarter than girls." At that point Geoff and I quickly hid under the table as Bridgette and Eva began to be covered in murderous auras just like the rest of the girls on our team. The other team gulped as they could see a red glow in the girls' eyes.
Now we are all at the campfire. The girls had smirks as Ezekiel was covered in bruises and bump marks while the teen held an ice pack to a swollen cheek.
"Man, you have to learn a lot about the real world." Duncan said with some annoyance. When we went to look for him we told him everything that had happened and he also seemed upset. Duncan knew a lot of girls in juvie, and he will admit that they were even scarier than other men.
"Campers. At camp the marshmallows represent something delicious that you roast over the campfire. But here, the marshmallows represent life." Chris said seriously. Geoff pretended to be hanged causing Bridgette to chuckle.
"Everyone has voted and made their decisions. There are only eleven marshmallows here, when you name them, come and get a marshmallow. The camper who doesn't get a marshmallow, tonight, must immediately return to the loser's dock and take the loser's boat." That means he's out of the competition, and he can't come back. Ever." Chris said coldly making us all nervous.
"The first marshmallow is for. Geoff." The host said with a smile making the teenager smile and go to get the marshmallow from him.
"Tyler." The jocky teen smiled before throwing his arms in the air.
"Yes. A place at the table!!." The teen quickly went to get the marshmallow from him with a smile.
"Katie..." The girl stood up with a smile and quickly went to get the marshmallow.
"Bridgette..." The girl walked over to Chris and took her marshmallow with a relieved smile.
"DJ..." The teen sighed in relief before reaching for his marshmallow.
"Owen." The teenager squealed with joy before running to get the marshmallow from him.
"Sadie..." The girl smiled before hugging Katie.
"Thank you thank you thank you!!." the girl yelled before taking the marshmallow from her.
"Benjamin…" I smiled happily before reaching for my marshmallow.
"Duncan..." The Punk boy just smiled before getting up to go get his marshmallow.
"Eva..." The jock girl only gave a half smile for just a second before going to get her marshmallow.
"Campers. This is the last marshmallow for tonight..." Ezekiel and Courtney broke out in a nervous sweat as we all watched this with concern and curiosity.
Courtney began to sweat due to fear while Ezekiel had a frantic look waiting what was going to happen. Chris only escalated the tension causing both teens to be on the edge of their seats in fear.
"Courtney." The girl smiled happily before running to grab the marshmallow from her while Ezekiel was depressed by that statement.
"No wonder about you. I saw how you were picking your nose, it wasn't good." Chris said with annoyance as he walked over to where Ezekiel was.
"The pier of shame is over there, friend." Chris said as the teen left without saying a word.
"Enjoy your marshmallows campers. You're safe, for tonight." Chris said with a smile as we all started eating our marshmallows.
Gwen
"Yes, the camp is still gambling. But, as long as I'm still here. I guess I'd better try to win." Gwen said deadpan.
Me
"I'm still confused as to why I'm here but. I guess I can try to see what will happen now." I said while looking at the camera.
The night passed very normally. When I woke up I saw that everyone was relaxing and talking to each other. However, I noticed that Courtney was scratching her swollen eye. I looked around before using my magic to create a plant.
"Good morning, Courtney." The girl turned to see me.
"Oh, hello Benja." Said the girl with some annoyance due to the burning in her eye that made me look at this with some concern before smiling.
"I see your eye is still swollen. I was searching the woods last night and I found what I need to do this for you." I said smiling before showing him a green colored cream.
"What's that?." Courtney asked but then the girl was surprised when I started to put the cream on the swelling.
"It's a homemade cream that I learned. It works a lot to relieve itching and reduce swelling." I said smiling as I finish putting the cream on the girl.
"Wow, and how long will it take to take effect?." Courtney asked but the girl suddenly felt a tickle in her eye and when she touched it, she was petrified to notice that the swelling completely disappeared.
"I'm not asking you to believe in magic if you don't want to but. Maybe magic is so real you can't imagine." I said smiling but then I saw a ball rolling to where I am before grabbing it.
"Hey, Benja. Let's play!!." DJ yelled making me laugh before going with the others to play while Courtney still looked at me shocked by what happened.
"Magic. Is it real?" Courtney whispered in disbelief. However, she never noticed that Heather had seen everything seriously.
"That fox is going to ruin everything. Let him enjoy his fun time with those idiots, but I came to win and no one, not even him, can stop me." The girl said coldly before leaving.
