Total Drama Contender - Mistaken Contender

Chapter 15 - Every camper for themselves

"Phew.". A morning run to clear the thoughts. Ever since coming to the island, I've been the most active ever since before the incident. Might actually be getting into something of decent shape again if I keep this up. The weekend is officially ended, which means the guys should be returning soon enough. Honestly, I don't know how my sisters don't kill each other after being alone with the girls on the island. Tensions are rough since everybody left either likes each other enough not to kill them or they are Heather, which is stressful as it is. Topping off my thirst with some water, I happened to look down at the ground spotting something which put me on alert. A trap that had a rope which lead deeper into the woods. Somethings hunting me and I don't think I want to know what it is. Avoiding the trap and making a quick way back to the main camp I saw the others resting either down by the water or near the beach. Stretching out before doing anything else I didn't notice Gwen sitting by a tree sketching in her notebook. "Why don't you invite me on your runs? I'm pure speed with this body of mine.". Sitting next to her she closed her notebook and placed it in her lap "I believe you can run fast but I don't go for fast, endurance is what matters. My father would  tell us that it didn't matter how long it took us to finish our runs but we couldn't quit them. I hate to say it but I don't think you have that endurance to keep up with me.". A small laugh came from Gwen which always made (Y/N) smile. "I take your word for it.". Gwen suddenly perked up when she felt some weight on her shoulder, looking over (Y/N) was leaning on it. She was going to ask him if he was alright but when Gwen heard that quiet snore; she decided to leave him alone. "After all that talk of endurance...".

(Y/N) opened his eyes slowly to a loud commotion happening close by; his guess was that the guys had finally returned. "Huh?" It was now he noticed that his head was leaning on Gwen's shoulder who looked like she was also waking up. "I think the guys are back; we should go say hi.". (Y/N) and Gwen made their way towards the dock where everyone else had gathered; spirts were high for the guys but before anyone else could speak the loudspeaker turned on. "Hello campers! We are now at the finals, Its every camper for themselves for this. I also have a big surprise! They should be arriving any second now.". Confusion was sewn onto each teenagers face but when they saw the fast approaching boat with a certain muscle bound girl at the front they knew what that meant. Eva stepped off the boat with fury beneath every step she took; many campers were terrified of the crazed muscle bound Eva but only one remained calm with the new arrival. "Eva! It's great to see you again; but this doesn't make sense. Chris said that if you leave on the boat of losers you can never come back." "I did?". All the campers responded with a "Yes!". "Well I guess I did. Haha. But she isn't the only one; I welcome back our crazy redhead... Izzy!". Now this announcement was meet with a mutual reaction from everyone just like Eva's, and just like Eva's (Y/N)'s reaction was different from the rest, he was terrified. "Aaaaaaaaahhhh!!!" Izzy came in swinging on some kind of rope or vine, she looked to be aiming for a certain someone. "No! Izzy! Don't you cras-!!!". Two bodies collided and rolled across the dirt ground; a responding "ow" came from all the campers who saw what transpired.

"Kindred spirts of pain... Anyway! Get acquainted and meet at the stage in an hour; we have a challenge to get started. DJ threw both Izzy and (Y/N) over his shoulders with almost no effort. "We should get these two back to the cabins. Can someone watch over them to tell them about the challenge?". Female voices volunteered to watch over (Y/N) while Owen offered to help Izzy. "Woah! I don't think we need to scare the poor guy anymore then he's already been. I'll watch over him while he's passed out.". Trent offered and after a few gruff sighs the female campers relented over watch to him. Campers went their own ways while Owen and Trent saw down in the cabins watching over their wards. Izzy didn't stay passed out for long and before Owen knew it she was back to her rabid self; (Y/N) on the other hand still hadn't woken up even though a half hour had passed since they were told to meet at the stage. Trent strummed his guitar waiting for (Y/N), that was until he heard a noise. "Hnngh...". Trent moved closer and he couldn't help but notice that his friend was crying in their sleep. His friend who seemed to always put others before himself and couldn't even look at people when they first meet was crying in their sleep. He opened his eyes and when he saw Trent a smile appeared on his face. "In my bed and a friend is watching over me. Thank you Trent. Did I miss something over getting knocked out?". Trent caught him up to speed on and both left the cabins to meet up with everyone else who started to filter in at the stage.
