Total Drama Island: Syler's story

Chapter Seven: Camping

This morning I wake up happier that usually. I guess it is because everyone now know who I am.

I walk to the bathhouse to show and get ready. As I wait for the shower to heat up. I start to over hear a conversation out side of the shower I was in. I press my ear to the wall to try and hear better, but it was impossible to make out what they were saying.

I drop my stuff off on my bunk and I go to stand outside with the rest of the members.

"Hey robot leg, get over here."

I hear from behind me.

I turn around and I see Heather staring at me.

I walk over to her. She knows that I don't like her and I know that she doesn't like me. What could she possibly want!

"Yes?" I ask her oh so innocently.

"That little 'rapping stunt' you pulled off last week. Yeah, that not going to stop me being top dog here. You better watch your back." Heather says while getting all up into my face.

I clench my fist.

"Oh don't look at me with your freak show eyes."

I lunge at her but I feel arms around me to keep me back. I could tell it DJ because of how muscular he was.

" I will strangle you and rip every strand of your fake hair." I threaten between my teeth.

"It's called extensions." she says while flipping her hair.

"Grrrr" I growl.

"Hey, hey, hey chill. Don't waste you time with Heather. She is just trying to get into your head."

Duncan says as he grabs me from DJ.

"I will get my message to her eventually." I say to him.

"Oh trust me, we all want to get it through to her." Duncan speaks.

"Morning Campers! Today we are going to test your survival skills! You and your team will hike through the woods, build camp, and spend the night out there. The first ones back here before breakfast in the morning are the winners. and remember, you have to return with ALL of your members.!" Chris informs us.

Chris throws Duncan and Heather a map of the woods and a compass.

"Camping! Why are we camping in those woods when we are already stuck here on this dump called an island!" I scream at Chris.

"Looks like someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning." Chris says while making a joke out of it.

"I will murder you in your sleep." I mutter under my breath.

No one heard but Duncan, who just smiled.

"Find this funny?"

"It's hilarious when you are mad."

"Id slap you, but that would be animal abuse."

"What did you eat for breakfast this morning, Bitch Flakes?"

"I don't know what makes you so stupid, but it really works."

"That's why you dig me," He says while putting his arm around me.

"Go to Hell, and stay there." I tell him as I take his arm off of me and I walk away.

"She wants me," I hear him say. I turn around and I see him fist pounding Geoff.

"Lets start," Courtney says as she snatches the map from Duncan.

We begin to walk into the woods.

Courtney is at the head of the group, and I just hang back towards the end.

~*~*~*~*~*~

We find our camp and we start to set up the tent and start a fire.

I notice that it has been very quiet lately.

Then I realize.

We lost Katie and Sadie.

"Um are we missing some people." I ask the group.

The realization hits them in the face.

"Oh yeah, where is Tweedledumb and TweedleIdiot?" Duncan asks.

"They will find there way back eventually." DJ says.

"I don't know guys, Im going to go look for them." I say as I drop the firewood in my hand.

"You can't go alone!" Bridgette says stopping me.

"Don't worry, I'll go." Duncan says standing beside me.

"I would rather be eaten by a bear, than be alone in the woods with you." I insult Duncan.

"Oh come on. I have a good sense of direction." Duncan says.

"Fine. But if you try and pull any Juvie stunts. I will shove you into a bear cave." I agree to let he go.

"Love you too, babe"

"Shut up."

We leave campsite and we go into the woods.

"Katie! Sadie!" I call out.

"Tweedledumb! TweedleIdiot!" Duncan calls out, imitating me.

I elbow him in the stomach.

"Not funny"

"Why are you so uptight all the time?"

We step over a fallen tree and keep walking.

"I'm not."

"Yeah you are, you are turning into Courtney."

"I am totally different than Courtney."

"Yeah, because Courtney doesn't like to fuck in elevators and smoke crack."

I turn around and I stop him in his tracks.

"It. Was. A. Cover. Song." I say with clenched teeth

"What is one of you originals then?"

I look around while biting my lip.

"I'm not telling you."

"You are so stubborn."

"Good, I try to be"

"That's what makes you hot."

"Nice one original, how many girls have you used that one on?"

"Well I kinda lost track."

I reach out to strangle Duncan, but I trip. We both fall to the ground.

As we fall to the ground, out lips connect accidentally.

Our eyes shoot wide open when we pull apart.

Duncan's shocked face then turns into the stupid little smirk he always does.

"I knew you digged me." He said while grabbing my waist.

"We should get back to camp. Its getting kind of dark." I say while I stand up and grab the leaf out of my hair.

"Fine by me."

I was about to start walking back to the campsite because I could see the smoke from the campfire when I hear a growl.

"Ahh!" I scream as I grab on to Duncan. Before I realized what I did, I hear Duncan say that stupid thing.

"First a kiss, and now cuddling? Your sending mixed signals you know." Duncan says while smiling.

"Ew no." I say as I pull back.

We start to walk back to camp. We took the same way back, but what I forgot about is the fallen tree.

I'm walking with Duncan behind me what I get my foot caught on the tree and I fall to the ground.

"UUhhh" I groan as I hit the ground. Duncan falls to the ground and starts laughing.

"Do you just like to laugh at my pain?" I say as I stand up and I brush dirt off of me.

I keep on walking and we finally make it back.

"Any luck?" Bridgette asks.

I shake my head no and I sit on a free stump.

"We didn't find them but she took a major wipeout by tripping over a tree." Duncan utters trying not to laugh.

Everyone starts laughing.

"Go get eaten by a bear."

"I would but you would miss me too much."

I just roll my eyes and I shake my head.

"I guess it's time we sleep," DJ requested.

"Lets tell a story first..." Duncan begins while evilly grinning.

"Ok nope no nada not dealing with what ever sick and twisted story you have to tell." I say as I point at Duncan.

"Awwww, is whittle Syler scared of a scary story." Bridgette begins.

"NO!..... maybe.... SO!" I state while crossing my arms and looking to the side worryingly.

Duncan begins to tell his story, but I zone out as I see something in the woods.

A bear.

It's minding its own business, but it turns around and looks at Duncan.

Hunger fires in his eyes as he walks closer and closer.

After seconds of stalking, he jumps out.

"AAAAHHHHH!" I scream while falling over.

I open my eyes and I notice no bear, just everyone looking at me.

Duncan has a hook on his hand and his eyes are full of confusion.

"What have you been smoking?" Geoff asks me as he looks around.

"But... I saw..... There was a.... a bear and.... it jumped out to maul Duncan and... I need some sleep." I finish saying as I sigh and I went into the tent.

I eventually fall asleep but wake up 3 hours later.

I check my watch. 3:30.

I get up quietly and I leave the tent. the fire is still going, but it has died down.

I sit on one of the near by tree stumps near the fire. The fire cracks and burns as I start to think.

/Do I like Duncan? I mean, he is annoying, Juvinial, and sometimes a douchebag, but he is also witty, smart, and cute. I really like his piercings. If I saw someone else with them, I would think they are stupid, but Duncan is so... I don't know./

I look to my side am I see two sticks.

I pick them up and I start to drum on the log I front of me.

I was interrupted by rustling coming from the tent.

Out walks Bridgette.

"Can't sleep?" She asks me.

I nod my head.

"I really have to pee, but I'm too afraid." She admits to me.

"I will be right here." I tell her.

She starts to walk into the woods, but a bunch of bats fly out.

One lands in front of her eyes, blinding her.

She start to fall backwards, kicking a flaming rock towards the tent. The tent quickly burns up. All the Bass are awake, staring at us.

I sit there on the stump while holding the two sticks and Bridgette is on the ground.

Courtney blows up on her.

"Thanks to you we don't have anywhere to sleep! You burned the tent!" Courtney yells.

"Cut her some slack, it wasn't her fault. We will just sleep under the stars. Whats the worst that could happen." Duncan says to Courtney.

"What's the worst that could happen?!" Courtney shouts.

At that moment we start to feel raindrops fall. Those raindrops quickly turn into a shower.

We all just sit there, taking it in. The fire is then put out by the rain.

We sit on the ground while DJ hold a giant leaf above our heads.

Eventually we all fall asleep in the rain.

*~*~*~*~*~*

I wake up to the sound of Courtney's annoying voice.

I open my eyes and I realize something. I look up and I see Duncan giving me that stupid smirk. I look down and I realize that I am cuddling him.

"Morning beautiful." He says to me. I quickly let go and I stand up.

"Did you sleep well" He asks me sarcastically.

"Lets just get back to main camp."

/"Ok I can't take it anymore! I like Duncan ok! Even though he is bad, he just makes it so attractive! Ugh he messes with your head man! And the way he smirks like that?! I die! I just had to get that out or else I would've blown up,/

We all begin to jog back to the main camp.

Eventually we get there right before the gophers.

"Oh no! they beat us here! This is all your fault!!" Heather shouts as she shoves Owen down.

"Not so fast Gophers, the Killer Bass seems like they lost a few fish." Chris motions to us.

"You mean Katie and Sadie. Yeah, we think they got eaten by a pack of wild wolves last night. Courtney says.

Moments later we hear screaming. We see Katie and Sadie running towards camp. They stop and they are out of breath.

"OMG we got lost and we also got into a huge fight and we hid in a cave and we saw a bear and it was all like 'grrrrr' and it was so scary" Katie says.

"Ok, The Gophers win! You guys win a trip to a tuck shop party!" Chris announces.

The Gophers start cheering.

"Because of you we lost the challenge!" Courtney screams at Katie and Sadie.

"Bass, I will se you at Elimination tonight" Chris says as he walks off.

I walk off to the confessional. I can't decide who to vote off. Katie or Sadie.

Confessional: / I don't know who to vote off. Katie or Sadie. If we get rid of one, we will still have one who acts like the one we sent home. Anyways Ill just vote for Katie./

~*~*~*~*~*~*

"I can tell all of you are tired So I will just throw the marsh mellows at you." Chris begins, "Duncan, Courtney, Geoff, Bridgette, DJ, Syler, Tyler, and Harold"

The fear arrives in both Katie and Sadie's eyes.

"Sadie," Chris says as he throws the Marsh mellow at her, but she lets it fly by.

She begins to go on and on about how she can never live with out Katie.

Eventually Katie is thrown on to the Boat of Losers and shipped off.

Sadie lies at the end of the dock, crying her eyes out.

We all walk back to the camp fire, except for Bridgette, she stays with Katie.

We all decide to stay and enjoy the fire for about half an hour.

Of course I get stuck on a stump next to Duncan.

"Hey Syler, why don't you go and get one of you guitars and get some tunes up in here." Tyler suggests.

"Why not?" I respond as I stand up.

I walk to the cabin, which is about 100 feet away, and I grab the acoustic.

I walk back out and I see that Sadie has returned with piece of the dock.

"Any request?" I ask.

"Wonderwall? by Oasis? " Bridgette asks.

"Got it"

I sit there and I think about the chords for a second, then I begin to play.

"Today was gonna be the day that their gonna throw it back to you.

By now you should've some how realize what you got to do.

I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now.

Back beat, the word is on the street that the fire in your heart is out.

I'm sure you've heard it all before but you never really had a doubt.

I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now.

Because all the roads the roads we have to walk are winding

And all the lights that lead us there are blinding.

There are many thing that I'd, like to say to you.

But I don't know how.

Because maybe,

You're gonna be the one who saves me.

Cause after all,

You're my wonder-"

I'm cut off by Heather.
