Island of the Slaughtered

Episode 9: Hanging Out

The episode opens with Julia and Chase standing in the dim light of the tool shed, staring at the bloody jacket hanging from the hook. Julia's heart races as she recognizes it. "That's MK's red jacket..." Chase, eyes-widening, says"It is... we need to go back to the cabin. Now."

Fear laces his voice, and they both sprint back toward the cabins, anxiety driving them forward.

When Julia arrives at the cabin, breathless and panicked, she looks around, realizing something is wrong. "Wait.. Where's Chase?" She mutters to herself. Emma, frantic and on edge, bursts from the cabin, her face twisted with rage. "JULIA, WHERE'S CHASE?? WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO MY BOYFRIEND, BITCH!?"

Julia's mind races as she tries to explain, but Emma charges at her, ready to attack. "No, Emma! I swear I-"

Caleb steps in, grabbing Emma's arm and holding her back. "Wait! We need to hear her out!"

Confessional - Bowie:
"Draammaaa~ even with a killer on the loose, we're all still on total drama island." he claims, smirking.

Julia's heart pounds in her chest as she tries to catch her breath.

Confessional - Emma:
"This better be good..."

"I didn't do anything! We found MK's jacket, and Chase was right behind me! I didn't see him after I left the shed. I swear!" Julia says, fumbling on a few parts.

Emma's anger doesn't dissipate; instead, it boils over as she shouts at Julia. "Bullshit! You probably left him there to die you emotionless skank!"

Confessional - Bowie:
"Julia has changed ALOT in her time here, she's showing emotions she wouldn't have shown before. I think it's because of MK, or maybe she was cloned." Bowie shrugs.

"I promise I'm telling the truth!" Julia shouts.

The next morning arrives, heavy with dread. Damien, searching for supplies outside, stumbles upon a gruesome sight. He gasps, stepping back in horror as he sees Chase's lifeless body hanging from a tree, a gruesome sight that sends chills down his spine. "Guys! Come quick! It's Chase!" He shouts out.

The remaining contestants gather around the tree, faces pale and eyes wide with shock. Julia stands frozen, horror dawning on her as she realizes the implications of what has happened. "No... no, shit!" Julia whispers to herself, eyes tearing up slightly.

Emma, still shaken from the confrontation, looks at Julia with a mix of fear and anger. "You were the last one with him! You were with him when he disappeared!"

Damien steps forward, looking between Julia and Emma. "We can't just blame Julia. We don't know what happened. We need to figure this out together."

Bowie, voice low. "But we also can't ignore the fact that she was alone with him last. Maybe there's more to this."

"I didn't do anything!, Chase and I were actually having a good time- he's really improved as a person." Julia says genuinely.

The group falls silent, the weight of the accusation hanging heavy in the air.

Feeling the walls closing in, Julia decides to leave the group for a moment to collect her thoughts. She wanders into the woods, her mind a whirlwind of grief and confusion. "What is happening? Why is this happening?"

As she walks deeper into the trees, she hears a rustling behind her. Her heart races, but she brushes it off, trying to convince herself it's just the wind.

Eventually, she makes her way back to the cabin, only to find the others in an intense discussion.

"We need to stick together. We can't let fear tear us apart." Caleb says, eyebrows high.

"But how do we know we're not being watched? We're vulnerable, and that killer is still out there." Axel exclaims.

Julia enters, and they all turn to her, the atmosphere thick with suspicion. "Did you find anything?" Damien asks her. "Nope, nothing..." she says shaking her head. Emma rolls her eyes.

The tension is palpable as they all look at her, a mix of concern and fear.

As night falls, they gather inside the cabin, locking the doors and windows. Emma sits on the edge of her bed, staring daggers at Julia, still harboring suspicions
