Total Drama Murders 6

Chapter 1

Once is a happenstance. Twice is a coincidence. Thrice is a pattern.

Gwen knew that it couldn't be a mistake. Something was happening.

For the past three nights Gwen had woken up bang on midnight after having the same nightmare repeatedly. Gwen dreamt she was frozen to the ground, stuck, unable to move whilst Bridgette stood her over. Twelve corpses surrounded the two women, and the end always finished with a young Asian man's eyes flashing before her. Then she'd wake up sweating yet somehow feeling cold.

Leaning against the wall outside the lab Gwen waited for Scarlett. Scarlett's assistant, Phoebe, also waited with her but she didn't converse. Gwen had always been wary of Phoebe, she'd always seen her as kind of strange, but Scarlett trusted her and that meant something.

As Scarlett made her way down a tall staircase in a lab-coat, she folded her arms. 'Yes Gwen?' She asked.

Gwen glanced at Phoebe then Scarlett. 'I had the dream.'

'This the third time?' Scarlett asked.

Gwen nodded. 'Yes. Same place.'

Scarlett turned to Phoebe. 'Take notes.' Before walking downstairs. 'Did you get a better look at your surroundings this time?' She asked. 'Any indication to where this took place?'

Gwen nodded. 'It was more... urban. Well-built houses and such. Not like the island at all.'

Scarlett considered this. 'Okay, Phoebe I need you to look up reports of strange occurrences, mass disappearances or a series of deaths in towns and cities across Canada and the USA. Gwen, I need you to try and focus darling, if there is any kind of chance that what you're saying is true, if Bridgette has returned, we need to do what we can to stop it.'

Gwen nodded and squeezed Scarlett's hand. 'I'll try.'

Several vehicles pulled up to outside the town. Most of the eleven students came on the school bus with their teacher, Blaineley, but several students came in their own vehicles.

Newt and Ryu were two of them. Newt was slightly confused to where they were, and what the English students were going to get out of it. It was fairly late in the evening which confused him further.

'You okay babe?' Ryu looked up at his boyfriend who seemed to be growing more tense.

'Yeah, yeah.' he told him, nodding quickly. 'Just confused...'

'What about, babe?'

'I don't know... just it's a bit weird that we're coming in the evening, and, especially after last school trip...'

Ryu placed his hand gently on Newt's leg. 'It's okay.' He turned to him slightly. 'If there is anything out there... I'll protect you.'
