Island of the Slaughtered

Episode 3: The Hunt For Food

As the sun rises over Total Drama Island, the remaining contestants gather in the cabin. A sense of unease lingers in the air, but hunger drives them to act. They decide to split into groups of three to search for food, thinking they’ll be safer with multiple people in the daylight.

Damien, taking charge, exclaims, "We need to find something to eat before we starve. Let’s get moving!"

"I’ll team up with you, Ripper. Let’s check out that nearby forest." Axel says to Ripper, allowing Damien to join their group aswell.

Ripper is hungry, "I’m in! It’ll be a piece of cake."

As they form groups, Bowie, Raj, and Wayne quickly team up, eager to scavenge for supplies.

"I bet we can find some berries or something in the woods." Bowie thinks aloud.

Raj, excited at the thought of food, says, "Yeah, let’s get going!"

Others are less enthusiastic. MK tries to approach different groups, confused about why no one wants to team up with her.

Julia, Nichelle, and Emma group up, feeling relieved to have each other’s company. As they walk, Julia confides her regret.

Julia, in her usual snarky tone-- "I kinda wish I had grouped with MK. Y'all are annoying, plus--she's harmless."

"You didn’t see her reaction to Zee’s death. She didn’t seem shocked at all." Nichelle tells Julia, shaking her head.

"It’s almost like she was expecting it. I don’t trust her." Emma says, suspicious of MK.

Meanwhile, Chase and Caleb find themselves paired together. Since neither wants to be stuck with MK or Scary Girl.

Caleb, sighing, "Looks like it’s just us. Better than the alternatives, right?"

Chase nods. "Yeah, let’s just focus on finding food and getting back."

Priya stands alone, glancing around nervously. With everyone else paired off, she reluctantly approaches MK and Scary Girl. "Uh, can I join you two?" she says hesitantly.

"Uh, yeah. Sure." MK says, shrugging.

Scary Girl, with a slight smirk, "Sure, the more the merrier."

Confessional - MK:
"I didn't want to group with Priya, but I already have Scary Girl in my group. How much worse can it get?"

After a couple of hours of searching, the groups start to return to the cabin. Some arrive with meager supplies, while others come back empty-handed.

"Found a couple of berries. Not much, but it’s something." Bowie tells everyone.

Raj, glad they found anything at all. "We’ll make do!"

Wayne frowns, disappointed, "I thought we’d find more."

One by one, groups trickle back until only MK, Scary Girl, and Priya remain unaccounted for. When they finally return, the atmosphere shifts dramatically.

MK and Scary Girl step into the cabin, both covered in blood, their expressions unreadable. Priya is nowhere to be seen.

Confessional - Chase:
"What."

Axel's in shock, "What happened?! Where’s Priya?!"

"We ran into some… trouble." Scary Girl says creepily calm. MK, looking around says, "She… she didn’t make it back with us."

Confessional - Julia:
"What the fuck?"

Panic erupts in the cabin as everyone starts shouting questions and accusations.

"What do you mean ‘trouble’? Where is she?" Emma says curious. "This can’t be happening again!" Damien exclaims, clearly done.

Julia, confused, asks, "Did you hurt her? MK what happened!"
MK shrugs in response.

Confessional - Julia:
"Why is she so calm?? She is quite literally covered in red, which--by the way, this shade.. it just doesn't suit her!"

The tension in the room rises as everyone begins to point fingers, the fear of the killer returning once again looming over them.
