Malcolm's camp- Brooke's POV- Day 6

"Defeat was clear in camp after the challenge. Everyone is sulking around and acting all sad that we lost. But, heads up people! It's Survivor! You're gonna have to lose at some point in this game. You can't just coast through this game without losing at least once." 

Sighing a huge breath of relief, I walked away from the direction of the camera and on the beach away from camp. I have a plan set, and now I just have to execute it. Along the beach, there are little shells that can be used on a necklace or something. So, my plan is to make a fake immunity idol out of shells and other random stuff found on the beach, and give it to Kailee. Being the gullible person she is, Kailee will most likely fall for it. I have collected a piece of string from a hair tie that Malcolm broke, so he gave it to me to make the fake idol. 

Sitting down in the sand far away from camp, I began my work. Never in my life have I been a creative person, but it's worth a shot. Stringing a shell onto the string, I tied a knot on both sides of it in order to make a weird design for the rest of it. This thing needs to look like something that would appear on Survivor as an actual idol, so it will be easier to convince Kailee it is the real thing. 

"Whatcha making there?" a familar voice said behind me. 

My head whipped around, only to meet Malcolm's blue eyes. "Sit. I'll tell you." 

He did as instructed, sitting down next to me on the plush sand. "It looks to me like you're making a fake idol." 

I nodded. "Exactly. I'm hoping I can give it to Kailee before tribal." 

"She'll fall for it, I bet." Malcolm said, patting my shoulder. 

I smiled, stringing a few more shells onto the piece of string. Malcolm just watched with interest, staring as each bead got tied onto the string firmly. This cannot fall apart. If it does, then my entire plan will be blown. Kailee has enough common sense to know that if anything in the game falls apart, something is wrong. 

"Finished!" I announced happily, looking over the idol I made. 

"Okay. I'll go tell everyone to vote Kailee out." Malcolm said, standing up and walking off. 

This thing looks pretty damn believeable. It would fool me, if I wasn't the one behind it. Grinning from ear to ear, I brought myself to my feet. Next, is fooling Kailee into thinking this is the real thing. And that may not be too hard. Running into the camp, my attention went to Kailee instantly. She was lying down in the shelter, taking a small nap. Good. Kailee will be very unaware when I show her this. Making it even easier to fool her. This is becoming too easy. 

"Kailee, can I talk to you for a minute?" I asked, shaking her shoulder. 

She grunted, confused for a split second. "Huh? Okay, sure." 

I held back my grin as we climbed out of the shelter, and headed down the beach. The water rolled up and hit our ankles as we walked, and Kailee decided to settle down by the shore line. Reaching into my back pocket, my stomach tensed up. Here goes nothing... 

"So, yesterday I was just lurking around, and I happened to stumble upon this." I said, revealing it to her. 

"Wow. Is this the real idol?" She asked, shocked. 

I nodded. "Yup. Obviously, I trust you. I wouldn't be showing you this otherwise." 

Kailee smiled, wrapping me in a hug. Eck. "Thanks so much. Nobody else seems to like me." 

You think? If you weren't hogging all the food to yourself and you weren't so loud, maybe people would be able to stand you for more than five minutes. Ever think of that? I thought, slipping the fake idol into her hand. Gosh, this actually worked. And it didn't take much to convince her, as expected. Now comes the final part of my devious plan: blindsiding Kailee, and getting her to play that idol. That will only cause embarrassment on her part, but entertainment for us.
