The Island of the Slaughtered | TDI AU

Rule #15 Leave the Island Now

"Hey guys! Sierra here, and welcome to my next, and possibly biggest video yet! As you may know, I was originally signed to join the cast of Chris McLean's future reality TV series in a later season. They sadly couldn't fit me into the current cast, which turned out to be a good thing though, because apparently something spooky is happening back on the island... so I'm here with my new best friend, Alejandro-"

"Get that thing out of my face." He pushed my camcorder out of his face before gazing back outside of the boat.

"He's a little nervous... anyways, I'm sure it'll be an exciting trip! I can't wait to see what the cast is up to after Chris ditched them there... I'll be sure to film once we arrive!" I quickly tucked away my camera before turning to Alejandro. I was just about to ask him what his issue was when Chris came out from the captain's quarters.

"Sierra!" He beamed, coming out from around the corner. My face lit up as I saw him, "I'm glad to see you finally put that camera away!"

"Yeah, me too." Alejandro teased, but I shot him a glare.

"Hello to you too Alejandro. I'm glad you two could make it in such short notice... I invited a few others, but they couldn't make it."

"How dare they! I would give up my entire life just to see you in person, Chris McLean." I giggled.

"Yeah, well, that's what you'd think, but I haven't been on a lot of people's nice list recently. Anyway, I'm sure you're curious as to why I invited you. As you know, I had to leave the island for reasons I don't plan to disclose, but we're pretty much picking up the campers and returning them back home."

"Wait I'm confus-"

"No time for questions."

"We're still on this ship for another two hours...?" Alejandro raised an eyebrow before glancing at me.

"It should also be noted that 7 of them have already been picked up so-"

"No they haven't." I chimed in.

"What do you mean? I already returned a handful of them." He gave out a nervous laugh, occasionally looking behind him.

"I've been following some of their friends on Facebook on my home computer. None of them have said anything about them returning home early... in fact, Courtney's mom recently posted something about her birthday coming up." I smiled, proud to have known the information, but it faded once I saw the look Chris was giving the two of us.

"Courtney... isn't one of them..."

"Chris, while we're at it," Alejandro coughed, "may I ask why you returned to your home so quickly after the filming for the show was supposed to begin?"

"I don't-"

"And why have you been avoiding interviews, but still attend all the celebrity shindigs?"

"Alejandro just-"

"Why won't you answer any of our questions?"

"Okay look, I know this sounds crazy but I've been having these dreams..."

"We're going back to your island because of a couple of bad dreams? Ay dios mío..." Alejandro sighed, but Chris quickly snapped him out of it. As he did so, I slowly pulled out my camera, filming Chris subtly from behind me.

What? I brought a camera for a reason...

"These aren't just dreams, these are vivid visions, and sometimes, they came to me while I was wide awake. Like uh... once when I was at this party, I looked into a bonfire and saw Bridgette!"

"The surfer girl?" I tilted my head, "Why would-"

"You think I know? That's why we're going to that stupid place!" Alejandro and I looked at each other when he said this, making him tense up, "And you know... to save the kids... but whatever, these dreams aren't some little fantasies." He pointed to his brain, "They've been speaking to me!"
