Total Drama: Survivor

Chapter 2

Everyone stood in shocked silence. They were all still reeling from what just happened. Some psycho had killed Chris & Ezekiel. That same psycho was probably still on the island. He was probably even watching them, wondering who to kill next. Finally, the silence was broken by Leshawna. "Well, we can't all just stand around waiting to get murdered." "Maybe we can go to the production tent to try & contact someone." said Beth. "We should also keep watch, in case the killer strikes again." said Cody. "How do we know that the killer didn't just target Chris?" asked Lindsay. "Then why would he murder Zeke? This has to be part of some larger plot." said Harold. "OK then, let's split up." said Trent. "Beth, Cody, Owen, Izzy, Heather, Sierra, Justin & I will go to the production tent. Leshawna, Lindsay, Tyler, Duncan, Courtney, DJ, Geoff & Harold will go to the beach to make a signal fire. The rest of you, stay here." He quickly kissed Gwen on the cheek & headed out the back door.

After what felt like an hour of walking, the first group finally reached the production tent. "Beth, Cody, Owen & Izzy, you three keep watch." said Heather. She turned to the rest of them. "Come on." They entered the tent & found a telephone. Sierra picked up the receiver & dialled 911. But there was nothing but static. "Huh. Weird." she said. "What is it?" asked Justin. "The phone's not working." "Look!" exclaimed Trent. The cord was cut, as if with a knife. "The murderer must have done this!" said Heather. "If that's true, then we better get out of here right now." said Trent. Quietly as they could, they walked out of the tent, only to find Izzy, Owen & Beth lying on the ground with knives protruding from their chests & a trail of blood leading into the forest.

The second group gathered on the beach. They were in charge of making a signal fire. Tyler, Duncan & Courtney went to search for firewood. DJ, Geoff, Harold,Lindsay & Leshawna went to the fishing cabin to search for fire starters. As they rummaged through the piles of old fishing nets & bait, Lindsay heard a strange beeping sound. "Beep-beep-beep-beep....." "Uh, guys, is it just me or does anyone else hear that beeping sound?" she said. Leshawna's eyes went wide. "It's a bomb!" she yelled. "Everyone get out!" said Harold in a frantic voice. They all scrambled out of the cabin, just as the bomb went off. Leshawna, Harold, Geoff & Lindsay got up. "Is everyone OK?" asked Geoff. "Where is DJ?" asked Lindsay. Harold gazed at the blazing inferno that was the fishing cabin. "I don't think he got out in time."

Searching for firewood was a lot harder than it looked. Tyler, Duncan & Courtney had been searching for ages, but they'd only collected enough wood to make a small bonfire. Tyler had run ahead, while Duncan & Courtney were lagging behind. In order to break the awkward silence, Duncan asked Courtney, "So, how you doing, princess?" "You could not have picked a worse time to make small talk! Our lives are on the line!" she said frustratedly. "Geez, calm down, princess." Courtney growled in frustration. "You never take anything seriously!" She stormed off into the woods. After a few minutes, Duncan heard a blood-curdling scream. He immediately recognized the voice. Courtney! He dropped the firewood & ran as fast as his legs would take him. He would never be able to forgive himself if something happened to her...

When he finally saw Courtney, a wave of relief washed over him. He ran up to her & hugged her. "Thank God you're OK!" They pulled away. "Why did you scream?" he asked. Courtney was shaking with fear. With a trembling hand, she pointed to the figure on the ground. Tyler's head had been split open with a hatchet. He was lying face down in a pool of blood. Without thinking, Duncan grabbed Courtney's hand & sprinted back to safety.

"Guys! We can't just sit here doing nothing!" said Gwen. "We've got to arm ourselves!" "With what, pointless inspirational speeches?" replied Noah. "We can use knives from the kitchen." said Eva. "Good idea!" said Gwen. She went into the kitchen & brought an armful of knives. "Noah, you seem pretty nonchalant about this whole thing." said Alejandro. Noah's eyes narrowed. "What, do you think I'm the murderer? That's crazy!" "Just a theory..." said Alejandro. "How do we know that this is not just some scheme to get suspicion off yourself?!" snapped Noah. "Woah, guys. Chill out! This is no time to be arguing!" said Bridgette. Just then, the lights went out. The mess hall became pitch black & no one could see a thing. A gunshot was heard, followed by muffled grunting. Something thudded to the floor. Suddenly, the lights switched back on. Katie & Sadie lay dead on the floor, their throats split open. Alejandro was clutching a bullet wound on his chest, & Noah & Bridgette had disappeared.
