Devil's Love

Who Can You Trust?: Part 2

*Last time on TDI*

"I hate that we have to hide our relationship," Bree said sadly. "I hate it too because I can't tell anyone that I'm dating the most amazing woman ever," Chris says with a sad look. Bree smiled when she heard what he said. "I'm amazing?" Bree grinned. "Yeah. I'm surprised you're willing to put up with me." Chris said. She jokingly says, "You're a handful, but I love you anyway." A smile formed on his face, and Chris couldn't believe how lucky he was to have her love. 'I'm so lucky to have this incredible woman.'

~Small Time-skip~

"Today's breakfast is Hawaiian Italian fusion casserole." Chef handed Gwen the most shitty-looking food ever. "You mean leftovers from the cooking challenge." She pointed out, and Chef looked very angry."Yeah, that's right, you got a problem with that?" Gwen salutes him and says, "Sir, no s,ir." Chef gave her a salute. At the Gopher's table, Heather had a blanket wrapped around her, and she sneezed. "You need a little echinacea?" Gwen said to the sick girl. "You're so funny. You think that you can lock me up in a freezer and get away with it. I am going to make you sorry that you ever met me." Heather threatens.

"Too late," Gwen said to LeShawna and Bree. "You're such a---." Heather sneezed and said, "I hate this place." The three girls rolled their eyes. 'Maybe we'll get lucky, and Heather'll be voted off.' They thought, hopefully with smiles on their faces. Duncan was getting himself a coffee when he spotted an extra mug. Unable to resist the temptation, he put it under his shirt. "I saw that. How can you steal a mug?" Courtney narrowed her eyes at Duncan.   "Because it's cool looking, and I don't have one. Hmm, didn't have one, that is." The bad boy sits down at his team's table.

"But you might get kicked off," Courtney said worriedly. "Aw, and here I thought you didn't care about me." He grinned smugly at her. "We're one player short, and I don't want to lose because you feel like going all criminal on us." The up-tight girl denied. "Whatever, you dig me," Duncan said in a smug tone that pissed Courtney off. "Why do I even bother?!" She stormed off, Bree sat by Duncan, and they started talking. "Have fun pissing her off?" She asked him. "What can I say? She is pretty when she's mad." He replied. Bree sighed and thought, 'I may hate her, but if they ever get together, I'll try to be civil.'

~Later that morning~

Our favorite host was walking through the forest while being filmed by the camera crew. "Hi, Chris here. Sometimes, teams don't get along, so the producers and I thought the best way to work through the group friction would be to exploit it for laughs. This is going to be awesome." The host excitedly says the last part. The Screaming Gophers and the Killer Bass had gathered at the dock, waiting to hear what the host would announce. Both teams were starting to get nervous. "So last week's challenge exposed a few gopher issues, and I'm sensing something funky floating in the bass pond, too."

Duncan goosed Courtney in the rib with his elbow, and she shoved him to the ground."So this week's challenge will be building trust because all good things begin with a bit of trust." Chris said to the two teams.

<Confessionals>

Gwen: I trusted Trent once. He left me buried alive on the beach.

Bree: There are a few people that I trust—my boyfriend's one of them.

<End of Confessionals>

Courtney's death glared at Duncan as Bree discreetly stared at the host. "There will be three major challenges that will have to be completed by two or more members of your team. Normally, we like to have the campers choose their partners, but not this time. More fun for me." Chris soon led the teams to the rock climbing course. Bree looked at it and said, "I'm not climbing that." Geoff, DJ, and Duncan quietly laugh. "Okay, so for the first challenge, you'll do an extreme freehand rock-climbing adventure. DJ and Duncan will play for the Bass. Heather and Gwen for the Gophers. Here's your belay and harness." Chris throws the gear to them, and Heather snatches it from Gwen's hands.
