Mike pov
"Mike I don't think we're getting in there." Svetlana said, they had searched all night for a way into the tower but they had any luck.
"Hang on, I'm going to try something." He said, and walked towards the front door.
"You knucklehead the front door is chained and boarded shut, we are not going to get that door open." Chester ranted. He ignored Chester and walked closer to the door, when he was standing in front of the door he placed his hand on the door and pushed. Nothing happened for a moment, then suddenly the door fell to the ground. (You were saying Chester)
"Mike how did you do that?" Svetlana asked.
"Well I just thought about it, I thought that the door wasn't as sturdy as it looked, and luckily I was correct." He explained.
"Then I guess we should go inside." Vito said, uncertain about the idea. Everyone looked at each other and entered the tower, they carefully walked to the top of the tower and they weren't really surprised by how the tower looked from the inside. The room was dirty, holes in the floor and the ceiling was cracked or broken, the windows were boarded up and in the center of the of the room stood a red button. The button was cracked in the middle and the red coloring had faded, Mike was about to walk to the button but Manitoba stopped him.
"Have you thought about-"
"I have and Mal is too dangerous, Zoey will eventually get hurt.... I'm not going to let that happen." He interrupted Manitoba, Manitoba sighed and shook his head.
"If Mal loves Zoey then he's not dangerous to her..... you've already seen him protect her." Manitoba said.
"Why are you protecting him?" He asked.
"I'm protecting him because when you press that button all of us except for you, will disappear.... I don't want Zoey hating you because you took Mal away." Manitoba answered.
"I don't want to lose you guys and I don't want Zoey mad at me, but Mal can't stay in control he might not be a danger to Zoey but he is a danger to everyone else." He said.
"We'll help you Mike." Svetlana whispered, after a few minutes of silence, everyone walked up to the button and together they pressed it. When nothing happened they looked at each other in confusion before they all gasped, they........ remembered.
Mal pov
When he woke up he felt like he had forgotten something, but he knew he hadn't so he shook the feeling away and watched Zoey, whom he just figured out he was in love with. (I'd never thought I'd fall in love with anyone, least of all her, there's something about her, I don't want to let her go) he felt a pair of eyes watching him, that was when he noticed that Zoey was awake and was exploring his chest and stomach with her hands.
Zoey pov
When she woke up Mal was looking at her but he looked like he was lost in thought, she sighed and waited for him to come back to reality. (I'm glad he's here to remind me that almost everything that we've found is fake. It doesn't really surprised me that Chris would go to such lengths to scare us, the only thing that confuses me know is when did I fall in love with Mal) she was shaken out of her thoughts when she felt hands on hers. She looked down and saw that her hands were on Mal's stomach and Mal had his hands over hers, she looked back up at him questioningly.
Third person pov
"What are we?" Zoey whispered the question, while Mal brought her hands back to his chest.
"Hopefully something more." Mal whispered, before leaning forward and kissing Zoey, after getting over the shock of Mal kissing her, she kissed him back. When they pulled away from each other Mal saw the questions and uncertainty in Zoey's eyes. Mal knew what Zoey was asking and what she was worried about, and he somehow knew how to take away her worries.
"I love you, I have never fallen in love with anyone before and I know you're the only one for me so...... will you marry me?" Mal whispered the question, Zoey was so shocked by the question that she didn't know how to answer, but apparently her body did because she felt her head nod.
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!" Zoey squealed happily once she found her voice, Mal smiled his usual smile but it held no evil intent. They spent the entire day holding each other as well as occasionally kissing each other, they eventually fell back to sleep and when they woke up it was nearly dark out.
"Mal, I love you.... can we.... please?" Zoey whispered, while she moved her hands down Mal's chest, stomach and stopping at his v-line, once Mal figured out what Zoey was asking, he gasped.
"Are you sure?" Mal asked, when Zoey nodded her head, Mal kissed her and Zoey returned the kiss......they made love many times that night before they fell asleep. Right before they fell asleep they felt complete, like nothing was wrong with the world, but they also felt like this was just the calm before an earth shattering storm.
Mike pov
"I can't believe we forgot about what happened." He whispered. (But then again everything that happened yesterday was unbelievable too)
"But we did and we can't change what happened." Svetlana said.
"How do you think they'll react?" Vito asked, pointing at the mirror that showed them what was going on outside.
"I don't know, but I'm getting a feeling that they'll remember what happened soon." He replied.
"Are we going to ignore what happened yesterday?" Chester asked.
"I want Zoey to be happy, I love her, I always will but if Zoey is happy with Mal, I won't protest.... even though it's probably the hardest thing for me to do and accept." He answered.
"Mike you are too nice." Manitoba commented, he just shrugged his shoulders and looked at the mirror that was still blank, meaning that Mal was still asleep.
"Guess I would have to be to accept all that happened yesterday." He replied, and the other hummed in agreement.
Zoey pov
When she woke up she noticed she was naked, she was about to freak out when she remembered what happened yesterday, then she smiled and cuddled up closer to Mal.....who was now her fiancee. (We're probably moving way too fast but it feels right, it's still unbelievable though.... everything that happened yesterday..... I'm worried for Mal though, I don't know how my parents will react to this. I shouldn't worry about it too much right now though) she didn't realize she was exploring Mal's chest again until she felt something stop them. She looked at her hands and saw Mal's hands on top of hers, she looked up and saw that Mal was awake.
Mal pov
When he woke up he felt Zoey's hands exploring his chest and stomach again, he opened his eyes and stopped her hands, that was when he noticed that they were naked. He was going to question the lack of clothes but then he remembered what happened yesterday. (I can't believe what happened yesterday, I don't regret any of it, I'm just surprised I'd never thought I'd tell someone that I love them or ask them to marry me. Speaking of which I bet if someone saw what happened yesterday they would probably think the only reason I asked Zoey to marry me, was so we could go all the way but that's not true. I saw that Zoey was worried about our relationship being fake, and the first thing that I thought of that felt right was asking her to marry me and tell her that she was the only one I've ever fallen in love with and was the only one for me. It's all true, us making love was just a very welcome surprise, despite how I feel about Zoey, I think her parents are not going to be my biggest fans but I'll worry about them later)
Third person pov
"Despite how much I would like to stay here with you, we still have some searching we need to do." Mal said, Zoey nodded her head and they got out of the sleeping bag and got dressed.
"I'm fine, I'm just sore." Zoey said, when she noticed that Mal noticed she was limping as they walked to the mines.
"Ok." Mal replied smirking, they both knew Mal wasn't smirking because she was sore, but at the fact of what they did that caused her to be sore. Mal had been gentle the entire time but he was well endowed in a certain piece of his anatomy and they both knew it. That being said they had to take their time getting to where they left off the other day in the mines. When they got to the fake skeleton of Scott, Mal covered Zoey's eyes until the fake skeleton was out of sight. They continued to walk for what seemed like hours.... eventually they walked into the room where Ezekiel had kidnapped Chris to, but what they saw shocked them. All over the room was animal skeletons, fake skeletons of the other contestants as well as roots and vines, but what shocked them the most was that the toxic waste pit that Ezekiel had hung Chris upside down over, didn't have any toxic waste in it.
"What happened here?" Zoey asked, as they walked further into the room.
"Chris probably had some people drain the pit before he placed all the fake skeletons here.... I don't know about the animal bones, roots and vines." Mal answered, hoping he was right.
"What is that?" Zoey asked, pointing to the other side of the room, they walked over to where Zoey had pointed at and was surprised to see elevator doors. They looked at each other, nodded their heads and began to pry open the doors, once the doors were open they gasped at what they saw inside..... inside the elevator was a bunch of fake skeletons. They weren't surprised that the fake skeletons were wearing the clothes of some of the past contestants, but what did surprise them was that two of the skeletons was wearing Chris and Chef's clothes.
"Why would Chris do this?" Zoey asked, taking a step back from the elevator.
"Maybe that's what we had to find..... fake skeletons wearing his and Chef's clothes." Mal suggested.
"I hope so because I'm done trying to find something that we don't know what it looks like or if it's even real." Zoey said, Mal placed a quick kiss to Zoey's lips and started to lead the both of them out of the room. Before they could reach the exit to the room, the light from the flashlight caught something.
"Should we go see what it is?" Zoey asked.
"Yeah." Mal answered, they walked over to the other side of the room and found a piece of metal on the ground, it was laying in front of a cave in, though on the side of the cave in there was a crevice that was made over time and it would allow the both of them to fit through. They looked at each other and silently agreed to check it out, once they were on the other side of the cave in, they gasped there were two fake skeletons sitting in front of them and the fake skeletons were wearing their clothes, Zoey and Mal looked at each other in surprised shock.
Flashback
It was after lunch and Zoey and Mal were looking at Chris and Chef questioningly because all the total drama contestants were there..... well except for Ezekiel but technically he's on the island as well.
"What is going on Chris?" Zoey asked.
"Well I thought it would be fun if this season had a final challenge before the final challenge." Chris answered, but the answer confused everyone.
"What do you mean?" Mal asked.
"Somewhere on Boney Island is a safe and in the safe is one million dollars." Chris said.
"But why are we all here?" Jo asked.
"Let me explain..... everyone will be paired up into two, this seasons final contestants being one group, everyone else is free to chose who their partner is. Now whoever gets the safe and brings the safe back to me will split the million dollars, unless it's this seasons final contestants. If they bring the safe back to me that million will go into the final challenge and whoever wins that will win two million dollars." Chris explained.
"And where will you be?" Cody asked.
"Chef and I will be in the room where Ezekiel kidnapped me to, you remember which one?" Chris asked, everyone nodded their heads.
"Great, now everyone pair up and here you're going to need these." Chris said, and threw each group a walkie talkie.
"Now off to Boney Island." Chris said, everyone looked at each other and raced off to find a way to get to Boney Island. Once Zoey and Mal managed to get on Boney Island, they immediately started searching for the safe. What seemed like hours later they heard on the walkie talkie that a group managed to get the safe. Zoey and Mal raced towards where they knew Chris and Chef would be, hoping to get the safe before anyone got to Chris and Chef. Unfortunately by the time they got there a lot of contestants were there and they couldn't tell who won.
"And the winners are-"
But something that sounded like thunder interrupted Chris, then they heard Duncan's voice on their walkie talkies.
"Chris, everyone needs to leave the island, the animals and plants have gone crazy!" Duncan's voice sounded panicked but it went unheard because as soon as Duncan stopped talking, they saw roots and vines popping out of the ground and what sounded like a stampede.
"Everyone run!" Chris yelled, and everyone did, Zoey and Mal ran towards an exit but roots and vines started to cover it up so they had to find a different way. Unfortunately as they ran to the other side of the room, the roof started to crumble and a piece of rock fell on Zoey's leg cutting and breaking it. Mal looked back and saw that Zoey was hurt, he ran back to her and helped her stand up, they moved as quickly as they could to a spot to get away from the roots and vines. They luckily found a secluded alcove to hide in but they guessed they didn't have much luck because the roof collapsed, trapping them inside the alcove as well as breaking Mal's arm.
"How are we going to get out?" Zoey asked, looking at the dirt wall that had them trapped, Mal shook his head looking down at the ground and gasped when he saw Zoey's leg.
"What?" Zoey asked, then she noticed that Mal was looking at her leg, she looked down and winced.
"You should sit down." Mal said, Zoey nodded her head and sat down but what confusion her was when Mal knelt down in front of her, ripped his shirt sleeve revealing his broken arm and one handedly dress her wound with the ripped sleeve.
"Why?" Zoey asked, as Mal sat down next to her.
"You don't want that cut getting infected." Mal answered, Zoey hummed in agreement, after that they listened to the chaos that was happening outside their..... well prison.
"It's going quiet." Zoey whispered, Mal looked over at Zoey and saw that she was paler than normal and she was sweating a lot.
"Are you alright?" Mal asked.
"I'm freezing." Zoey whispered, Mal cursed up a storm in his head, but he hugged Zoey up to his body laying her head on his shoulder.
"The cut is probably infected." Mal said.
"How, nothing got in the wound?" Zoey asked.
"The air here isn't clean." Mal replied.
"What do you mean?" Zoey asked.
"We are right next to a toxic waste pit, none of the air here is clean, the toxin in the air probably got the cut infected." Mal explained.
"But we're cut off from the toxic waste pit." Zoey replied.
"And the little air we do have in here is toxic." Mal said.
"Then how are we going to survive?" Zoey asked, worriedly.
"Don't worry, we will and when we do get out of here I-" Mal stopped talking.
"You what?" Zoey asked curiously, Mal sighed and he knew that this would be the only time he would be able to tell her.
"I don't know when but somehow I managed to fall in love with you and after the final challenge I was, no I am going to ask you out on a date." Mal answered.
"I don't know when it happened but I fell in love with you too, so yes I'll go on a date with you but what about Mike, I-"
"I talked to Mike and while he isn't happy with me, he does want you to be happy.... he said that if you wanted to be with me, he would let me have control and he wouldn't interfere but I would have to let him take control every once in a while." Mal interrupted her, Zoey looked at Mal carefully and she could tell that everything he said was the truth.
"And what if I said no?" Zoey asked.
"Then Mike would regain control." Mal answered, since Zoey didn't know what to say to that she remained silent.
"I'm so cold." Zoey whispered, Mal hugged her even closer to his chest that he could feel her heartbeat.
"You're heartbeat is really slow." Mal commented.
"Yours is too." Zoey replied.
"Whatever happens next.... will you marry me?" Mal asked.
"Yes." Zoey whispered, they smiled at each other and gave each other a quick kiss to the lips.
"I'm so sleepy." Zoey whispered, Mal looked at her and knew that if Zoey fell asleep she wasn't going to wake up again. He also knew that neither one of them was going to make it anyway, they were too weak to move and their heartbeats were too slow.
"It's ok, go to sleep." Mal whispered.
"I love you." Zoey breathed out.
"I love you too." Mal whispered into her ear, and since he knew Zoey wasn't going to be able to fall asleep on her own he started to whistle In The Hall Of The Mountain King. By the time he got to the end of the song, Zoey had breathed her last breath, and he could tell he wasn't going to last much longer either so he kissed Zoey on the forehead and started to whistle In The Hall Of The Mountain King again until he breathed his last breath.
End of flashback
Zoey was sobbing into Mal's chest by the time they finished remembering what they didn't know they had forgotten.
"How did we forget something so important?" Zoey asked, while clinging to Mal, while Mal wasn't crying he wasn't doing much better.
"I don't know it might have been because it was so sudden that we refused to remember." Mal answered, Mal didn't know if he was correct or not but he did know that whatever answer he gave Zoey it wasn't going to make her any happier, in fact she started to cry harder into his chest.
"Come on, seeing our bodies is not going to help us." Mal said, once Zoey had stopped crying. Zoey nodded her head and they left the alcove and slowly walked back to the exit of the room.
"I guess nobody survived what happened." Zoey said, as they walked out of the room.
"And if everyone is still here, they're on Camp Wawanakwa." Mal added, when they were finally outside they saw that the sun was rising not setting.
