Total Drama Island: Syler's story

Chapter Twenty-Four: Hook Line and Screamer

I hate Chris, but not as much as I hate scary movies.

Chris is forcing us to watch this slasher flick at around midnight, and I am not on board with that plan.

I sit on the tree stump next to Duncan and DJ.

In the movie there is a couple making out in a car in the woods, and there is a psycho killer with a chain saw and a hook loose.

"Quit making out in the woods at start the car!" Leshawna yells at the screen.

I start to mess with my hair and bite my lip. It is usually what I do when I'm scared.

"Oh yeah," Duncan says while staring intensely at the screen.

"How can you be into this kind of traumatizing torture?" I ask as I hold on to him.

He puts his arm around me to somewhat comfort me.

"It's awesome." He answers while laughing.

DJ hides his eyes behind his hands. I can so compare to DJ.

"Great Canadian cheese! Now the car won't start!" Owen shouts.

"Their going to be Chainsaw Sushi!" Izzy shouts.

The slashing begins and the screen covers in red blood. The killer hacks on and on.

I wanted to cover my eyes, but I just couldn't help but watch.The screams of the young couple are blood curdling.

Gwen takes the movie out and returns it to its cover.

"For a Slasher Flick, it was pretty tame" Gwen says while holding the movie.

"Not like Bloodbath 2: Summer Camp Reign of Terror!" he adds with his spooky voice.

"No way! That movie is my favorite!" Gwen exclaims. "My favorite part is when the killer shoved that guys hand in the lawn mower." Gwen adds.

"What about that part where he pushes the girl off the dock and falls onto the proppeller blade which cuts her in half." Duncan suggest.

"And the part where the killer shoves that guys head into the wood chipper!" Gwen and Duncan say in union.

DJ screams and jumps into Leshawnas arms. I just sit there and gulp loudly.

"Looks like you guys have more in comman than poor fashion sense." Heather mouths. "It is just mindless guts and gore."

"It's not mindless." Gwen protests.

"It is filled with psycilogical trauma, look at DJ" Duncan adds.

Leshawna shoves DJ off of her.

"Does anyone have any idea what our challenge is this week." Heather asks.

"Yeah. Where is the Chris miester?" Geoff questions while eating some popcorn.

We all hear the sound of a boat running. We walk to the dock to see Chef throwing on suitcases rapidly.

"Yo Chef! Where's the fire?" Duncan asks.

Chef jumps into the boat and drives off with Chris. We could see into a small window their faces. And their faces looked terrified.

"Dude! You forgot this!" Owen calls out while holding up a backpack.

A newspaper falls out and lands on the dock.

I pick it up and I read the front page.

"Escape Psycho Killer on the loose. Be in the look out for a man wearing a hocky mask, with a hooked hand, and carrying a chainsaw!" I read as my stomach launched into my throat.

"hahahaha he's on the loose!" Izzy says while laughing.

"Oh come on. They don't expect us to fall for this? Scary movie followed by a hasty exit and followed by a stratigically placed lame prop" Heather says while crossing her arms.

"I-I-I don't know, they seemed pretty spooked to me." DJ stutters out.

"Please. It's all part of their little stunt to freak us out." Heather continues.

"If this was a stunt, would Chris leave behind his hair gel?" Owen asks while pulling out a bottle of Chris's hair gel.

We all gasp.

Not the hair gel.

"Woah, this is for real!" Gwen gasps.

"Well, I have had a good run in life." I say while shaking nervously.

"Let me get this straight. Chris left us for dead, and now we are alone with a Psycho with a chainsaw on the loose." DJ utters.

"No, Chris left us for dead with A psycho killer with a chainsaw and A HOOK!" Duncan exclaims while holding up a hook, freaking out DJ.

I jump back a little. "Damn you Duncan." I mumble under my breath.

"I told you dude! Not cool!" DJ says.

"Get it together man!" Leshawna yells at DJ.

"I can't. It feels like I'm being watched." DJ shivers.

"Duh. It's a reality show. We are always being watched." Heather points out.

When Heather says that, I notice a camera man right next to me with the camera right in my face. I shove him backwards causing him to call into the water.

"It dowsnt matter if this is real or not, we need a game plan.".Gwen speaks up.

"Yeah we need a game plan." DJ agrees.

"You little frightwigs might need a game plan, but I need a facial." Heather begins.

"And plastic surgery." I chime in.

"Watch it Goldie Locks." Heather threatens.

I look at some of my hair and I'm not even that blonde.

"Are you crazy! First rule of Slasher Films is to never go off in your own." Gwen stops Heather.

"I might actually listen to you if I was in a horror movie. Were being punked. Your so gullible. CHRIS, IF YOU ARE LISTENING, NEXT TIME RENT ONE THAT TAKES PLACE AT A SUMMER CAMP!" Heather yells into the air.

"If you losers what to hang around and play boggieman, go ahead, but I have a date with expoliation." Heather finishes while waking off.

"And the bossy mean chick seals her fate." Izzy speaks while gliding her finger across her neck, making cutting sound effects.

"Wow, your really food at sound effects." Owen flirts with Izzy.

"I say we go back to camp and talk strategy. Who's in?" Gwen suggests.

I look at Duncan and we both shrug. We make our way to the campfire pit.

I notice that Owen has dropped Chris's hair gel. I swoop it up and I put it into my back pocket.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"ok rule number one, do not go off in your own. Rule number two, If you go off on your own, don't go into the woods. Rule number three, if you go into the woods, DO NOT make out in the woods." Gwen begins while pacing back and forth.

"How about making out right here." Duncan whispers in my ear.

" Maybe when we aren't about to die." I say sarcastically to him while nudging him.

"Where Izzy and Owen?" Gwen questions.

"Breaking rules 1-3" Duncan answers.

Gwen brings out a canvas and A sketch pad to draw all the remaining survivors.

"Dude, I got to take a leak. Come with me bro." DJ says while pulling Geoff away.

"You want to break rule number 3?" Duncan asks with a smirk on his face.

"I ain't going into those woods." I protest while smiling.

"I guess we will just have to do it here." He says while kissing me. I smile into the kiss and I start to kiss him back.

"Ok, I have drawn out all of the remaining people." Gwen says while turning around and breaking up our kiss.

"Where's DJ and Geoff?" She asks.

" DJ had to take a leak do he took party boy with him." Duncan replies.

We hear loud screams coming towards the washrooms.

"Oh no." Gwen says as she runs off towards that direction.

"One by one they fall, and only one will stand tall." I murmur under my breath.

Gwen walks back.

"Where is Leshawna?!" She asks worringly.

"She went to go and grab some chow." Duncan answers.

Gwen crosses Leshawnas drawing off of the chart.

"Where is Geoff and DJ now?" Gwen qustions.

"Probably bit it with DJ." I answer her.

"No surprise. Rule number 8, the party guy dies right after the lovable jock." Gwen says as crosses off both DJ and Geoff from the chart.

"It ticks me off that I was trying to help them." Gwen complains.

"Live and Learn sweet heart." Duncan says while lighting two sticks on fire.

"You really are a pyro, aren't you?" Gwen asks Duncan.

"I don't know, I like burning stuff." Duncan speaks while holding the flaming sticks.

"Is that why you went to Juvy?" Gwen keeps in questioning.

I almost choked on my spit. I want to know why Duncan went to Juvy.

"pff. Like I would tell you why I went to Juvy." Duncan scoffs.

Dang it

Duncan holds one of the sticks out to light the sketch pad on fire.

"OMG! I will go and get water!" Gwen explains while she runs to get water from the lake.

"And then there were two..." Duncan says while handing me one of the flaming sticks.

"Duncan, Duncan, Duncan.....Juvy, Juvy, Juvy..." A shaky whisper speaks.

"Syler, Syler, Syler,.... Alcohol, Alcohol, Alcohol..."It speaks again.

I flinch.

"It's you and us Psyco." Duncan says while grabbing my hand and walking to the the dock.

"Umm Duncan... I'm not so sure about this..." I say while squeezing his hand.

"Just stay here and don't get involved. I'm going to deal with him." Duncan says while stopping at the dock.

We see a large guy with a chainsaw standing at the end.

"What if you die?!?" I ask. Scared shitless.

"I won't. Now stay here. I can't risk loosing you." He says while holding my face.

"I can't risk loosing you." I whisper.

"You have a brighter future than I do. If I end up loosing this battle, I want you to get that Record Deal and make me proud." Duncan whispers right before he kisses me.

He throws his lighted stick into the water and walks down the dock.

I hold on to mine.

I watch as Duncan challenges the Psyco killer. He throws canoes, chairs, and even a fish at the killer, but he uses the chainsaw to cut them in half.

Duncan walks backwards and stumbles over.

"Duncan!" I shout as I run further down the dock.

"Syler! Don't get involved! You will die." Duncan yells back at me.

"I am not going to sit back and watch you get murdered. You mean so much to me." I protest.

I see the Psycho stand over Duncan with the chainsaw. I look at my flaming stick.

I throw the stick like a javilin and it hits the Psycho, causing his shirt to catch on fire.

The Psycho misses and saws into the dock. Duncan kicks the stick which holds the chainsaw, breaking it.

Duncan stands up with the chainsaw and saws off the Psycos hook.

The Psyco stands back and removes the mask.

CHEF?!

I stand there frozen in horror.

"Alright Ms. I don't listen to save my life, lets go." Duncan says as he walks up to me with Chef...

"But...but...but...but" I begin to stutter.

Duncan picks me up so that he is giving me a piggy back ride.

"The Psycho was...Chef?" I ask as we walk towards a tent that Chef lead us to.

"I guess so." Duncan replies while laughing.

We walk into the tent and we see Chris, Geoff, Heather, DJ, Owen, Izzy, and Leshawna.

"Nice going guys! You defeated the Psycho!" Chris announces.

I look up at one of the many TV screens hanging in the wall with Gwen in the Mess Hall.

There is a Psycho killer right behind her as she eats a sandwitch.

"Hey Chris, Did you hire two Psycho killers?" I ask.

"No...?" Chris answers in confusion.

"Wait, if Chef is right here, then who is that?!" Duncan shouts as he points to the screen.

We all sprint to the Mess Hall, hoping to save Gwens life.

We barge into the Mess Hall and we see Gwen talking to the Psycho.

"GWEN! THAT IS A REAL PSYCHO KILLER WITH A CHAINSAW AND A HOOK!!!" We all shout in union.

"What?" She questions.

She then screams and kicks the Psycho in the face multiple times in the face.

"Owwwww." The Psyco squeals. "That was so uncalled for! I am so out of here!. I was treated was better in prison!" The Psycho shouts as he walks out.

We all stand there dumbfounded, and DJ faints.

Gwen walks over and high fives Duncan and I.

"Well, see you all at the campfire ceromony!" Chris announces and walks off.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"We have no choice was to boot DJ. He got scared when the Psycho wasn't even there. Sorry dude." Chris says at the bonfire.

"It's cool man. I had fun." DJ says while holding his things.

"We will miss you man." I say as I fist pound him.

"Group hug" Owen shouts and we all hug DJ.

We wave our goodbyes to him and walk back to the cabin.

"I have never been more terrified in my entire life." I admit as I step onto the porch of the cabin.

"Why? Because you almost lost me?" Duncan asks in his cocky voice.

"Maybe." I answer while giving him a quick peck on the lips before heading off to bed.
