We don't own Total Drama, only our OC's.
Remaining Players: Lin, Lucille, Brittany, Dante/Damiano, Lila, Tracy, Brad, Dianne, and Tatiana
"Last time on Total Drama Canadian Travels," Chris would begin the famous recap. "We went to Moncton, New Brunswick, where Byron paired up the remaining contestants up into five teams of two for a scavenger hunt using items based off of famous Canadians, aside from moi, of course, because this challenge couldn't possibly handle that level of awesomeness! Brittany and Lucille were the first pair, followed by Brad and Lin, Byron and Tatiana, Tracy and Dianne, and finally, Dante and Lila. Dante's odd behaviour frightened Lila a lot, but not enough for them to slip up because they ended up winning the challenge, and immunity. Sensing that one of them would be on the chopping block and getting lucky by finding the immunity idol based on myself, Tatiana saved herself from elimination and, in a stroke of bad luck for him, Byron ended up being the one voted off. We've got nine contestants left and the embers from the fiery drama are still burning! Who's next to take their leave? Let's find out on Total Drama Canadian Travels!"
Dear Mom and Dad I'm doing fine,
You guys are on my mind.
You asked me what I wanted to be
and now I think the answer is plain to see,
I wanna be famous.
I wanna live close to the sun,
Go pack your bags, 'cause I've already won,
Everything to prove, nothing in my way
I'll get there one day.
Cause, I wanna be famous!
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na!
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na! (as can be heard in the background)
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous
(Whistling in tune)
Episode 20: An Approaching Nightmare
Moncton, New Brunswick
Dianne
'Final 9. I can't believe it.' the cancer survivor thought to herself. 'The game's only gonna get tougher from here.'
Damiano
'If I can get some more entertainment like I did last night, maybe this ride won't be so bad.' The brute thought to himself, raising a bottle of water to himself. 'Cheers to more fun times ahead for me!'
Brittany
'Once again, I'm close to the end. Just eight more to go.'
Lucille
'This is the furthest I've ever made in this competition, and now, I'm a bit nervous. I hope I can make it even further.'
Brad
'Last night's ceremony was a risky one. But now is the time to take Brittany and Lucille out. If we lose our chance then we may not be able to truly recover from this.'
Tatiana
'After last night, I should have accomplished what I was intending to do, which was get everyone's attention on me. Now it's back to our main goal: taking down Brittany and Lucille.'
Tracy
'Man last night was crazy! Maybe I should keep sticking to myself, even if I am friends with some of the people involved in all of this. I'm too close to the end to make any risky moves now!'
Lin
'Things are going to be interesting going forward. We technically have the numbers advantage, but those two are becoming more unpredictable. Then there's Dante. He was acting weirdly last night and if his other personality took over, that just might make things more complicated…'
Lila
'This game is just getting ever-so stressful, and I'm not sure how much longer our group will be able to hold together. It's times like these I wish I was able to ask my mother for advice.'
"Attention everyone! We are headed to Quebec City, Quebec for our next challenge!" Chris announced. "Pack up your belongings, and meet us in the lobby!"
The nine teens packed up their things and made their way downstairs, quickly grabbing some breakfast before leaving. They would head to the airport, and board the flight.
An abandoned building in Quebec City
"Ahahahahaha! Oh this is going to be fun!" A familiar voice cackled.
"See? I told you two bringing me along would be fun! Now how much longer do we have to wait until they all get here again?"
"They should be here by the end of the night…if there are no flight delays," a calm voice let out. "You'll be perfect, my dark magician of beauty."
"Ah, but today, I am no mere magician. No, today I am a creature from within their darkest nightmares!"
"This is beyond ridiculous," a Russian voice let out.
After a couple hours of rough turbulence, the plane finally landed in Quebec City.
"Okay, we're here! Let's move, people, we need to meet the surprise!" Chris announced as everyone then piled into a bus leading them to the site of the challenge.
"Didn't we have a challenge revolving around Terra the last time you said it was a surprise?" Tracy asked.
"Yeah, we did, but this time, it's someone else," Chris responded.
"Are you sure?" Roderick asked. "Because Terra did ask to go along this time, too."
"She'll be kept under control. I hope."
"You hope?!" Brad asked.
"Well, yeah, since she also has to keep a tight leash onto a certain Russian psychopath…"
"Not Demetrius!" Lucille's eyes widened.
"When he tried to force me to marry him…ugh, so gross…" Alexis gagged.
"He's that evil?!" Dianne was wide-eyed.
"Yes. Yes he was," Alexis muttered.
"Well, I'm expecting this challenge to be both physically and mentally taxing, then." Tatiana sighed. The bus then parked in front of an abandoned building that appeared to have four floors. Many of the windows were either broken or boarded up, the only visible door was in the front and many dead trees and foliage shrouded much of the building's rear.
"Anyway, today's challenge will involve Jerusha hunting you all down while you all hide in an abandoned building," Chris explained.
"How long are we meant to hide in the building?" Brad asked.
"You guys have 1 hour to hide," Alexis said. "Chris was gonna make it 3 hours, but I made him change it to an hour."
"There would have been drama if it was three hours," Chris whined. "But anyways, go and hide."
The nine contestants entered the empty manor and were immediately assaulted by the darkness that enveloped the room. The light that crept in from the windows were barely enough for them to see.
"Well, well, well…" Jerusha's voice called out from what appeared to be nowhere. "Welcome… TO MY LAIR! You children don't seem to understand what you've intruded on, and I'm afraid you will pay dearly for it!"
Dianne and Lila both shivered a bit while Lin, Brad and Tatiana remained stoic in response to the macabre magician's suddenly booming tone.
"I know more about you all than you expect. Your likes, dislikes, aspirations… fears! To survive for as long as you already have, you will make fine prey for this hunt! The last time you saw me, I only gave you a taste of my skills, now run, children, for the game has now begun!"
Jerusha's message was followed by a silence that only lasted a moment before an ungodly croaking noise came from the room directly in front of the teens, sounding akin to a dying sheep.
Dianne would hurry off, as she was terrified. Lila ran off in a different direction not too long after as the croaking sound rang through the teens' ears again. Letting out a soft sigh and rolling her eyes, Tatiana walked over to the door and opened it, revealing what appeared to be a small girl with her hair the same shade of red as Tatiana's herself. The moment she saw her, the bookworm's eyes widened in both shock and confusion.
"Wait… What are you doing here?!" She asked, as if recognizing the girl. The young child remained silent before suddenly appearing to sprout more limbs from seemingly nowhere, revealing that the croaking sound was coming from her. The child appeared to grow larger until she towered over even Tatiana as her body continued to morph.
Thankfully, the bookworm slammed the door shut and began to back away, looking noticeably more frantic as she looked around suspiciously.
"Oh, that is very clever, Jerusha! You've proved that you've done your homework on all of us! But you're not going to break me that easily!"
Sneaking up behind her would be a person in a costume that looked like a traditional harlequin. The sleeves are extra-long and are made from a tartan and a diamond pattern fabric. The shoulders are exaggerated/ oversized.
The mask itself features three curved-like horns, made from the same tartan plaid fabric, similar to the rest of the costume. Two of them have strips of fabric, one white and one red, hanging off the end. The mask also has a large exaggerated grin, with an optical-illusion style print. It would let out a very creepy laugh. Tatiana simply pushed the harlequin with as much force as she could muster before running in the opposite direction.
"You can't just hit me with something less scary after that!"
The harlequin grumbled, going after someone else.
The harlequin would sneak over to Tracy, as she was finding a hiding spot. The country girl was completely unaware of her stalker as she slowly opened the door to what appeared to be an old bedroom.
"Hehehehehehehehehehehehehe." The harlequin let out.
"Gyah!" Tracy let out as she nearly tripped over herself at the sight of the harlequin. In a swift motion, she grabbed the nearest object she could find and flung it at the harlequin stood there as the soft pillow hit it.
"Hehehehehehehehehehehehehe." The harlequin let out. Tracy looked around for something harder to throw, finding nothing as the creature approached. In a swift motion, Tracy shut her eyes and opted to punch the puppet before running back into the hallway.
The harlequin groaned, swearing in Russian.
*Confessional*
Tracy: "What? I did the first things that came to mind!"
*End Confessional*
Brittany
The mob boss would be hiding in one of the bedrooms, in particular, a walk-in closet. She held her gun close to her. A creepy looking skeleton dropped in front of her, as she punched it, breaking its bones.
"It'll take more than that to scare me."
"You're just getting all of the baby stuff." A familiar, clownish voice called out from behind her.
Brittany rolled her eyes at this, gripping her gun. "Don't make me use this, because I will."
"You say that like it'll help you." Terra continued.
"You forget who you're dealing with, miss first-boot."
"You also forget that I've always been much more talented and competent than I let on. Yet, here you are, too scared to even turn around and look at me."
"I'm. Not. Scared." Brittany grumbled, turning furiously to face the clown. "I'm not scared. If anything, I'm pissed you're here again."
Terra simply looked back at Brittany from the shadows, her face being the only visible part of her while the rest of her body was obscured by shadow. The clown girl smiled, revealing her teeth to be a glistening black color. Suddenly, Terra's head seemed to slowly turn upside down, her neck seemingly cracking before Terra's face was completely upside down. Brittany winced, but didn't say anything.
"Scared yet?" Terra asked, her voice sounding more distorted and raspy.
"Nope." Brittany replied. "Now get lost."
"Shame… You should be."
Black liquid began seeping out of Terra's eyes and dripping down her forehead before she suddenly lunged at Brittany, her body being revealed to now be akin to a millipede. Her torso almost elongated to an impossible degree with multiple arms acting as insect legs. Despite her uncanny and off shape, she moved shockingly fast.
Brittany drew her gun, and shot multiple bullets. *BANG* *BANG* *BANG*. She wasn't afraid, but Terra, or rather, the creature that was posing as Terra, quickly caught Brittany and grabbed the gun out of her hand and disassembled it right in front of her before bringing its false face right in front of Brittany's
"I've got more where that comes from," Brittany's eyes narrowed, as she squirmed out of the grip of the monster. "You'll be sorry you messed with Brittany Drake."
From an office somewhere nearby, Chris and the others watched all the action unfold from multiple cameras.
"She brought a gun to the show and you're actually ok with her keeping it?" Charlene asked.
"What can I say? The last time she used it, she basically helped to save the day. As long as she's not killing anyone, then it's all good," Chris shrugged, drinking his coffee.
"Considering her reaction to all that, it seems like she has no problem pulling out a gun on me." Terra noted, her face remarkably serious as she was putting on some sort of costume. "I don't think I can even imagine how Trish is feeling right now."
The harlequin made its way into the office, taking off the mask, revealing Demetrius's face. "Thank goodness I'm not wearing that ridiculous baby costume again. Thank you for putting me in something that I can actually work with."
"You're lucky Jerusha is far more forgiving than I am." Terra noted. "Remember, this is her show right now."
"If you give me that baby costume again, you won't fathom how angry I'll be. But just know you won't like me when I'm angry," Demetrius deadpanned.
"I don't like you in general." Terra replied in an equally deadpan tone. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have a job to do."
"Okay, guys, enough already!" Alexis sighed.
"We're lucky that it was Trish in that centipede-Terra suit, thing…" Johan noted as he was preparing what appeared to be a giant crow head. "Because if it was that little kid, that would probably be the end of this show."
"Agreed," Christopher sighed. "Here's hoping this challenge is quick and over with. I'm already terrified, and I got out early on."
"Why is there even a kid here in the first place?" Jimmy asked.
"Jerusha asked her and the rest of her family if she was willing to come on and help with Tatiana's fear, who knew she was so into horror movies at such a young age." Charlene shrugged.
"Color me surprised." Christopher let out.
"Oh, looklooklook!" Terra called out. "There's Lucille about to go into the trap Jerusha and I set up! Johan, go out there already!"
"Alright, alright!" The guitarist replied as he put on the fake bird head. "Keep your pants on…"
Lucille
'Deep breaths, Lucille. You can do this. You can do this.'
The violinist would walk slowly into a living room. The second she stepped towards the center of the room, all of the doors slammed shut with several of them locking completely.
"Seems like you made a wrong turn!" Jerusha's voice boomed out. "Unfortunately for you, a terrifying presence is about to enter the room…"
Lucille's eyes widened in shock. 'Don't get scared, don't get scared, don't get scared…'
The wall opposite of Lucille was suddenly blasted open by a spiked club, leaving a giant hole. A man stepped out of the black chasm behind it, his figure slightly muscular, but appeared cut and bruised in some places, wearing a white cloth that covered his lower body. What was most disturbing about the man was his head, which was akin to that of a crow. The eyes of the avian's head glistened a bright red as it set its gaze on the virtuoso.
"A crow? Really? Real mature," Lucille deadpanned. The crow simply raised its club, its beak opening as if it was real and letting out a screech that sounded like both a giant bird and a human scream before charging at Lucille.
"You wanna fight? Let's play," Lucille charged forward as well, fighting with the bird. Her moves were smooth, and strong, thankful for the workout routine she watched Joseph do. The creature swung its club down, completely destroying an old coffee table in front of it.
Lucille smirked, as she grabbed something in the room to fight with, which would be a sword. "Huh, this comes in handy." She said, as the avian-man hybrid swung its club down again, only for Lucille to parry the attack and try to slash at the beast, grazing its arm and leaving a rather deep cut.
The bird lowered his club as his beak shut. With a snap of his fingers, another door unlocked in the room before something was flung into the room from the dark hole in which the crow entered. The smell of chloroform began seeping out of the sudden smoke bomb as the bird fled back into the space from where it came.
Lucille would plug her nose instantly, making sure to not inhale the chloroform as she checked one of the doors, which led out of the room.
Once Lucille was gone, the crow returned to the office, taking the fake head off and revealing Johan's frustrated face.
"A sword? A SWORD?!" He shouted as Charlene and Kevin hurried to disinfect and bandage his new wound. "I'm a few months out from being a dad who's just trying to earn a few extra bucks by scaring some people, and I was just threatened with, and slashed by an actual sword by someone who was perfectly willing to use it!"
"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Charlene asked, the rest of the band looking just as concerned.
"Remind me to never piss her off." Alexis said. "She's something to be reckoned with now."
Demetrius smirked at this. "Well, well, well. The violinist has skills. Color me impressed."
Brad
The hat wearing schemer cautiously walked down a seemingly empty hallway on one of the upper floors. As he reached the end of the hall he heard a heavy knock on the wall right behind him. With his brow furrowing, he opened the nearest door to him and ran inside. What he found was something that admittedly caught him off guard: it was the very same hallway, but now he was back at the end he started on. The stairs both going up and down also seemed to have vanished.
"Cute trick." Brad huffed. The mysterious knock tapped the door behind him, making him jump ever so slightly as the hall was completely silent aside from that. But as he turned to look at the door… it, too, had vanished. Brad slowly backed away before running towards the end of the hall again, the knocking growing increasingly louder and more frequent as he continued down the hall. Brad soon reached the end of the hall again and, once more, went through the door.
Only to be back at the beginning of the hall again…
Lila
The shorter redhead girl carefully made her way down another hallway before opening one of the doors and entering what looked to be some sort of bedroom. It was difficult to see clearly around the room due to the minimal amount of light, but the only thing she could see clearly were the array of dolls scattered around the room. They varied in size, shape and type, but each one looked old, ragged and dusty, as if they had been there for years. Even through their fake eyes, Lila could feel each and every doll staring at her.
Despite the ominous atmosphere, Lila let out a silent sigh of relief. These were just dolls, after all. They were completely harmless.
At least, that was what she thought until one of the porcelain baby dolls began to rise up on its own. Instead of the body of a baby, the body of this new creature was almost pitch black aside from the porcelain head and the dark orange singular claw that made up each of its hands. Despite its lumbering and slow movements, the long strides it made allowed it to reach Lila quickly. The young woman dashed for the door and quickly left the dolls alone, but the clawed demon caught the door before it closed and followed her out.
Lin
The former street urchin crept along the walls of the macabre manor as she kept her eyes peeled for any of Jerusha's monsters. Her movements were quick and quiet as she maneuvered to the end of the hall and opened the door, leading to a ballroom with a staircase going up on the other end of the room Lin was currently standing in.
Lin couldn't help but hum to herself. If it hadn't been for the challenge, the disgusting monsters stalking the halls and the rundown nature of the building, it could have actually been a really nice place. A low gurgling sound caught Lin's attention. Her gaze shifted over to the top of the staircase and what she saw made her stop right in her tracks.
It looked like some kind of human-shaped cocoon, adorned with what looked like occult symbols carved into it. It was what was attached to the cocoon that unsettled Lin. It was a person. Or, at least, it resembled a person. Specifically, it resembled her, although the hair was much more ragged and ruffled than the wolf cut Lin normally had. The person's face also resembled Lin, but it was a bit paler and seemed much older.
As she got a good look at the new person, Lin shook her head as her face grew paler. The sight of her mother crawling towards her, dragging on this cocoon shaped thing that seemed to be attached to her proved to be almost too much for her psyche to bear as she dashed right out through the door she came in from. Lin continued to run until she turned a corner and stopped to catch her breath, painful memories and phantom pains from the scars on her back flooding back to her.
Damiano
The rogue personality paid little mind to his environment as he casually walked through the halls, eventually opening a door that appeared to go down into the basement. The bottom of the building was just as dark as the rest of it, though the basement looked more like a cavern than the lower floor of a building with torches adorning the walls and what seemed to be a lake taking up most of the space.
Damiano couldn't help but let out an interested huff as he saw that the lake water was not water at all, but rather a different liquid that had a slightly thicker consistency and was nowhere near as clear.
The silence of the underground cavern was brought to a halt as bubbles began to emanate from the center of the lake. Damiano raised his eyebrows in intrigue as he saw what appeared to be Chef rise out from the lake, or, at least, it resembled Chef Hatchet. But his skin was completely flayed off, leaving him with only the exposed muscle and a featureless face. The only way Damiano recognized him was from the familiar body shape of the large man as he slowly walked on top of the water and towards the young man.
"Hmph, and here I was, thinking this day would just be another boring one. But I actually get the pleasure of seeing a man walk on color tinted water." Damiano chuckled. The flayed figure did not respond, instead shifting from a slow gait to a rapid sprint. Before Damiano knew it, the figure was right in front of him and almost delivered a punch right to his midsection, which the alternate personality only barely managed to avoid.
Dianne
The room that she had entered would have a large, gaping chasm, along with a long rope.
"Oh boy…" Dianne let out, looking down, and seeing lava bubbling at the bottom of the chasm. "Okay…I can do this. I can do this." She took a deep breath, stepping onto the tightrope. As she took another step forward, a menacing screech bellowed from above her. As the young woman looked up, she caught a glimpse of what appeared to be a pink, human-like creature with black pits for eyes and tiny dagger-like claws and fangs.
"Oh…my…gosh…" Dianne's eyes widened, her heart beating quickly as she tried to move along the tightrope more quickly, though careful not to fall into the lava below. The demon let out another screech before diving at the girl and trying to swipe at her with its claws.
Dianne yelped, managing to get away. The end of the chasm was just within her view, hope slowly made its way back to Dianne as she inched closer along the rope. She would soon reach the end, and breathed a sigh of relief, before glaring at the creature. "Take that, you nasty creature!"
Unfortunately for her, the creature was nowhere in sight, having apparently disappeared. Just as she was about to let out a sigh of relief, Dianne turned to the door, her wrist suddenly caught in the clawed hands of the beast, which let out a screech right in her face, allowing her to look into the empty sockets of its eyes.
Dianne would kick the creature, annoyed. "Let. Me. GO!"
The kick only angered the demon as it quickly raised its other claw and wrapped it around Dianne's neck before lifting her up a bit before pinning her onto the ground.
Dianne would scream at this. At that moment, the loudspeakers would go off.
"And that's the end of the challenge! Everyone, come on out, and we'll have Jerusha pick who she wants to win immunity!"
Chris gathered the contestants, interns and Jerusha back to the front of the abandoned manor, some noticeably less happy than others. Tatiana in particular looked around suspiciously.
"Cheap trick bringing the kid, Chris." She spat. "Where's everyone else? Or did they leave already?"
"Yeah, they left." Johan explained, rubbing the spot where he was bandaged with a displeased look on his face. "Shame you never really got to see the rest of them, they looked eager to see how you'd react."
"So…who was that kid anyway?" Lucille asked.
"Why do you care?" The redhead hissed.
"Can't I be curious?" Lucille asked.
"No. Now can we get on with this?" Tatiana remarked, looking towards Jerusha, who looked a bit unhappy herself.
"Sure, sure…" She sighed. "Alright, so I made my decision based on how each of you reacted. Of course, I had to add or dock some points depending on the treatment of the monsters themselves since those were actual people in those costumes."
Lucille sheepishly glanced over at Johan with a guilty expression on her face. "Sorry!"
The guitarist merely shrugged while Terra cleared her throat and tapped her foot impatiently, her eyes set on Brittany.
"Fine, I'm sorry too," Brittany let out, clearly annoyed.
"Thank you. I don't forgive you." Terra said flatly. "Even then it's not me you should be apologizing to. It's Trish. She was the one in that costume, but she's already bailed back to the Aftermath studio. So you'll have to say what you need to say when you see her."
"Speaking of the Aftermath." Jerusha continued. "The person who won't be going there is Dante. He kept his cool and even managed to put up a good fight against Chef. I'm supposed to decide the winner but he was impressed by how you handled him, so I'm giving you the win today."
"I see." Damiano nodded.
"Well, that settles it! Dante, you've got the sole vote tonight, so go ahead and make your decision. You're all dismissed," Chris said. "Unless you've made your decision already, Dante?"
The brute thought for a moment, looking at the remainder of the contestants before smirking.
"No." He said. "I think I'll wait for tonight."
"Alright then," Chris shrugged. "You're all dismissed until tonight."
Dianne and Tracy
"That challenge was so scary," the cancer survivor let out.
"You're telling me!" The country girl groaned. "After we all split up, this giant… thing with some porcelain baby doll head came running at me!"
"Yikes," Dianne shivered. "I have a feeling I might get the boot…Dante's been acting so weird lately, and with the way I screamed…he might go after me…"
"You sure? I figured he might go after Brittany or Lucille or someone else from last season."
"I have a gut feeling," Dianne let out. "I mean, if I do go, I'll be able to see my brother again."
"True, but let's try to keep a positive mindset, alright?" Tracy grinned.
Dianne grinned. "You're the best friend a cancer survivor could ever ask for."
Damiano, Lucille, and Brittany
The mob boss and the violinist would meet up with the brutish personality. The young man sitting comfortably by himself in silence, appearing rather ominous.
"We're gonna need your help, Damiano," Brittany's voice would be heard from behind him. "I mean, it was my brilliant plan to bring you back into control. I mean, we can easily give you your meds if you don't want to listen to us. It's your choice."
The boy raised an eyebrow before standing up and looking Brittany in the eyes. "What did you have in mind?"
"First, we should try and weaken Tracy, by getting rid of Dianne. The two are close friends, and then, we can focus on getting rid of her, then those rotten redheads," Brittany replied.
"And here I was, thinking you'd want to get rid of your enemies first. Silly me." Damiano chuckled.
"They're worthy enemies," Lucille said, as Brittany smirked at the violinist.
"Indeed they are. So, are you in?" Brittany asked, looking at Damiano.
"Hmph, fine." Damiano shrugged.
"A wise decision," Brittany let out.
"Attention contestants!" Chris announced. "It's elimination time!"
"Well, here we go," Brittany said. "Let's go." She would leave the room, with Lucille following behind her.
Elimination Ceremony
The nine contestants would gather around the campfire, and Chris would have Dante stand up next to him.
"Okay, Dante, it's time to reveal your choice. Who are you sending home?" the host asked. Damiano silently looked among the rest of the contestants before his eyes landed on Brittany, a smirk creeping up on his face.
"I chose Dianne." He said flatly.
Dianne's eyes widened in shock, before frowning, looking down at the ground. "Oh well. I guess this is the end of the road for me."
"Interesting choice." Chris remarked. "Any particular reason why you picked her?"
"Simple." Damiano replied with a shrug. "She bores me."
Dianne glared at him. "How on earth do I bore you? I've been nothing but kind to you!"
"Kindness doesn't make you interesting."
Dianne would attempt to kick him in his groin. "I can't believe you!" She shouted, her anger turning to shock when Damiano simply caught her kick, his amusement quickly shifting into anger at her strike. With a sour look in his eyes, Damiano kicked Dianne's free ankle from under her, causing her to land on her butt before the boy stepped on the ankle he had just kicked. With Dianne's other ankle still in his clutches, Damiano began squeezing her ankle and twisting it slightly.
"You shouldn't have done that. You shouldn't have even thought about doing that!" Dianne yelped in pain. "You know, the thing about people is that they're a lot more brittle than we give them credit for." Damiano continued, the sound of bones popping immediately snapped everyone's attention to the matter at hand.
"Someone get him off of her!" Alexis yelled. Without wasting another second, Chef and the boys of the band pulled Damiano off of Dianne. Then, Alexis hurried over to Dianne to check her ankle. "It's not broken, thankfully. Can you stand?"
"Yeah," Dianne let out, standing up. "I think I'll need help packing my things though."
As Alexis and Dianne left to go pack up the latter's belongings, Damiano turned to the others.
"Consider that a warning. The rest of you are on notice now."
"And you're all dismissed," Chris said. Lila was quick to get up and head back to her room, accidentally bumping into Brittany as she did. As the two locked eyes, Lila left before any words could be shared between the two, the day's events clearly leaving her not wanting to deal with any more drama.
Lucille would notice something shiny on the ground near Brittany, picking it up. "Hey…this belongs to Lila, doesn't it?"
"Keep it for now. We can give it back to her next week."
Lucille would open the locket, revealing a photograph of what appeared to be Lila herself, though wearing a burgundy dress with red and blue accents, her hair was down instead of in a braid and she wore a large hat of the same color as the dress.
"She really wears a locket with a picture of herself?" Brittany scoffed. "Talk about conceited…"
"I don't think this is her…" Lucille let out. "Maybe it's someone close to her?"
"Whatever. Let's just hold on to it until we have a chance to give it back."
"I'll find her before we leave for the next location, and give it back," Lucille said.
"Sure, whatever. Let's get to bed," Brittany said. The two girls would head into the hotel. Not long after, the Bus of Losers would pull up to the hotel, and Alexis would help Dianne onto the bus with her things. The cancer survivor waved to the chef as the bus departed the hotel.
"And so, we're down to 8. Next time, we head back to the aftermath, where Matthew, Ilyria, Byron, and Dianne are interviewed by Bill and Trish! See you next time, on Total! Drama! CANADIAN TRAVELS!" Chris announced.
