Chapter 23 - Chapter 23: Hook, Line, and Screamer

Previously on Total Drama Island..." Chris began the recap as the sun started to set on the island. "Campers had to build their own hot wheels in a motocross challenge to race for invincibility. Well, a race for everyone except Lincoln who probably isn't gonna be making it into the engineering business anytime soon. There were big winners and big time losers! And there was even some wicked, off-the-track motocross stunts! But in the end, it was Heather who crossed the finish line and double-crossed Lindsay by destroying her bike and their alliance, proving that Heather really is a backstabbing user who'll do anything to win. Lindsay ultimately lost the race and the challenge, which meant goodbye Lindsay and her luxury luggage. Who will be the next winner? Who will be the next loser? Who will renew my contract for next season? All these mind-robbing questions revealed in this horrifying episode of, Total. Drama. Island!"

The sound of a chainsaw was able to be heard in the camp. For this episode, we don't open in the morning like usual. Instead night had fallen on Total Drama Island and Chris decided to 'reward' everyone for making it to the final ten. The reward being a slasher movie marathon being played on an old fashioned film reel.

Some of the campers really enjoyed it such as Gwen, Duncan, and even Edward was having fun watching the movie. And then some campers weren't really into it like DJ and especially Lincoln. While the brick house did work up the nerve to actually sit in the chairs set up for the campers, with his hands over his eyes and violently shaking, Lincoln was currently hiding behind a rock. Luckily Dawn was there for him and let the Loud boy sit on her lap as she cradled him to comfort the scared boy.

"He's coming out of the woods with a big hacky chainsaw!" Izzy commentated with an excited grin on her face as the movie showed a killer in a hockey mask wielding a massive chainsaw. "That's so cool!"

"Oh no!" Owen gasped as he covered his eyes with an arm. But the big guy couldn't resist giving a little peak. "Psycho killer man's going for the car!"

"Yo! Fool couple!" Leshawna yelled as she threw some popcorn at the projection screen the movie was being played on. "Stop makin' out and start the car!"

"They're gonna be chainsaw sushi!" Izzy yelled before letting out a laugh. This caused a few of the campers to give Izzy some disturbed looks.

"Great Canadian cheese!" Owen yelled out in horror as a girl screamed in the movie. "Now the car won't start!"

"Oh, man…" DJ whimpered as he tried his best to look away from the movie. But like a train crash, the brick house somehow couldn't look away completely. "I can't stand this..."

Luckily Lincoln didn't have that problem as he, along with Dawn, were sitting behind a rock. Not even watching the movie. "T-T-T-T-That m-m-m-makes t-two of u-u-us…" Lincoln whimpered out while shaking as if it was 0 degrees.

"Don't worry Lincoln, it's alright." Dawn told her boyfriend in a soft voice as she rocked him back and forth. On one hand, she wasn't exactly a fan of scary movies. Not because she was easily scared, but because of all the blood and gore in most of them not sitting well with her vegan mindset. But on another hand, she was having the time of her life getting to hold Lincoln like this and comfort the terrified boy. "It's just a movie."

"Uh, snowball." Duncan laughed at the scene of the two behind the rock. Mainly how Dawn, the girl, was comforting Lincoln, the man. "The guy is supposed to be the one that comforts the chick."

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" As if on cue, Courtney let out a high pitched shriek and quickly clung onto Duncan for comfort.

"I believe I made my point." Duncan smirked as he gladly pulled Courtney closer to him. Duncan then looked to the stump right next to him and saw Edward the platypus actually enjoying the horror movie and eating up some popcorn. "Even the platypus is watching the movie. Go figure."

"Run!" Izzy screamed at the movie, everyone could tell that a rather gruesome part was coming up. "The psycho's gonna get ya!"

Nearly everyone watched in anticipation, with DJ finally reaching his limit and was able to look away by ducking his head under his hands, as the psycho in the movie got closer to their target. "Here comes the blood fest!" Gwen cheered as the campers watching the movie saw the blood fest on screen. The scene was so bloodly that the light that projected the movie flickered red a few times.

Everyone either cheered for the scene or felt sick to their stomachs. And once it was over, Izzy stood up from her seat. "Aw, the chainsaw psycho's going back to the woods! He's getting away! Yeah!" Izzy commentated as the movie finally turned off. The horror fest finally over. "Good ending! Izzy loves scary movies!" The psycho hose beast then proceeded to jump into the arms of Owen.

All fear and disgust Owen was feeling over the movie suddenly disappeared as he held the orange haired girl in his arms. "So does Owen." The big guy said as he looked to DJ and Duncan as the two gave him thumbs up.

"Oh thank God it's finally over…" Lincoln groaned a bit as he got off Dawn's lap. Dawn whimpered a bit at her boyfriend leaving her grasp but decided to stand up too. "Scary movies…of all the things Chris had to give us…it had to be scary movies."

"I feel ya brother…" DJ let out a sigh of relief at the movie ending. As well as completely sharing the feeling Lincoln was having over scary movies. "I really hate scary movies."

"Oh yeah? What scares you two the most?" Duncan asked with a smirk. Courtney was also feeling a bit on edge, though not on the scale of DJ or Lincoln, but she was able to see where Duncan was gonna go with this question. And she wasn't gonna be scared by it a third time. "The, uh, part where everyone meets a grizzly death? Or the psycho killer with the hook?!" At this last part, Duncan proceeded to pull out the hook he used to scare everyone all the way back in the Wilderness Survival Challenge.

Both Lincoln and DJ screamed, with Lincoln quickly latching onto Dawn. This got laughs out of everyone else as the two recovered from the scare and glared at Duncan who was laughing more than anyone. "Brbrbr." Looking down, Lincoln saw Edward sending him a deadpan and eye roll.

"Quiet you!" Lincoln yelled and pointed at his platypus. Last time he's taking Edward to the movies.

"Aw c'mon you two," Gwen decided to play the nice one and tried to reassure the two scared boys. "For a slasher flick, it was pretty tame."

"Yeah, there was hardly any hacking." Duncan stated as he waved his hook hand around. "Not like Bloodbath 2: Summer Camp Reign of Terror!"

"No way!" Gwen let out with a big smile on her face at the mention of that movie. "That's my favorite movie! I love when the killer jams that guys hand into the lawnmower!"

DJ flinched as Lincoln felt himself going a bit green. "Ha! Or when he pushes the chick off the dock and then she lands on a propeller blade that slices her in half?" Even Courtney started to become a little disturbed at some of the deaths in the movie her boyfriend and Gwen were talking about.

"Or when he shoves that big dude's head inside the wood chipper!" Gwen and Duncan said in unison. At this, DJ jumped right into Leshawna's arm looking for any sort of comfort from anyone as Lincoln went to the nearest bush to throw up with Dawn patting his back all the way through it.

CONFESSIONAL – COURTNEY

"Hollywood certainly is…" Courtney had to stop talking for a moment and swallowed some incoming barf. "Creative…"

CONFESSIONAL – LINCOLN

"BWAAAAAAAAAH!" Lincoln didn't say anything and simply threw up in the toilet of the outhouse.

As Gwen and Duncan shared a high five, Heather scoffed and rolled her eyes. "Aww. Looks like Gwen and Duncan have more in common than bad fashion sense." Heather insulted, not at all impressed with the movie they saw tonight. "It's just mindless guts and gore."

"Horror movies aren't mindless." Gwen stated as she crossed her arms at Heather.

"Yeah, they're loaded with psychological trauma." Duncan added in before laughing a bit before pointing to the two most scared members of the group. "Just look at DJ and Lincoln."

"Lincoln can't help it." Dawn glared at Duncan, while Leshawna threw DJ off her, as she continued to pat Lincoln on the back. "He once saw the Harvester when he was 11 and it pretty much scarred him for life!"

"Wait, what?!" Courtney yelled as she looked at Lincoln like he was crazy. She heard of that movie but didn't watch it until a week after her 16th birthday. And only because there was nothing else to watch that night. "Why would you watch that when you were 11?!"

"I…thought I could handle it…" Lincoln groaned as he tried his best not to release any more of his dinner onto the poor bush he threw up on. "I…..couldn't…"

"Aw seriously dude?" Duncan laughed as he put a hand to his face. Looks like Lincoln actually did have some weaknesses. And the delinquent was more than happy to mock Lincoln for them. "That movie was awesome, how could you not like it?"

"Screw….you…." Lincoln did his best to glare at Duncan despite the state he was in.

"Whatever." Heather simply rolled her eyes at the whole thing. This was getting a bit too stupid for her liking. Though seeing Lincoln like that was a pleasant enough sight. "Does anyone have any idea what our challenge will be this week?"

"Huh, good question." Courtney said as she looked around for any sign of Chris. Now that she thought about it, they haven't seen or even heard anything from Chris since he gave them the stuff for the movie. It was kind of odd. "We haven't seen Chris in a while. And usually he's all for butting in and ruining our fun."

"Maybe he got his kicks from seeing Lincoln and DJ acting like a couple pansies." Duncan laughed a bit as he got glares from both guys he mentioned.

But before anyone could say anything, the sound of a boat motor got their attention. Deciding to investigate, the ten teens all stood up and headed towards the dock. Once there, they saw a rather surprising sight. Chef loading up a bunch of bags of luggage and crates into the Boat of Losers. "Hey yo, Chef!" Duncan called out as he approached Chef. For some reason Chef flinched at this and turned to Duncan with a horrified look on his face. "Where's the fire?"

But Chef didn't answer Duncan's question. Instead, the buff cook decided to just leave the last few bags behind and quickly head into the boat where Chris was also waiting. With the host also having a face that showed he was scared for his life, for some reason, the teenage torturing duo quickly had the boat go as fast as it could off the island.

Everyone simply gave confused looks at this. Even Dawn as by the time the aura reader got there, with Lincoln clinging onto her arm, they were too far away for her to read their auras and see what was up. "Hey dudes!" Owen called out as he lifted up one of the bags that Chef left behind. "You forgot this!" As Owen lifted up the bag, a newspaper fell out of it. Owen looked down and flinched a bit when he saw a picture of a rather big muscle guy wearing a hockey mask. Placing the bag down, Owen picked up the newspaper and read from it. "Escaped psycho killer on the loose. Be on the lookout for a man wearing a hockey mask with a hooked hand and carrying a chainsaw."

This got a few of the campers to freeze up in both shock and horror. A psycho killer. On the loose. On the island. And Chris and Chef just left them for dead?! "Haha!" Izzy actually laughed at this news. "He's on the loose!"

"Oh my God, oh God, oh God, Oh God…" Lincoln repeated over and over again as he tried his best not to faint. First a movie about a psycho and now an actual psycho!? Today was literally becoming his worst nightmare.

"Oh would you get a grip already." Heather rolled her eyes at Lincoln's little panic attack. The queen bee wasn't frightened at all about this whole thing for one simple reason that actually made sense. "They don't expect us to fall for this. Scary movie followed by hasty exit followed by strategically placed lame prop?"

"I don't know." Dj whimpered a bit. Due to already being on edge, DJ was more willing to believe that this psycho killer was actually real. Plus with Chef and Chris' rather realistic reactions, the pieces seemed to fall into place. "They looked pretty spooked."

"Puh-lease." Heather scoffed, still adamant in thinking this whole thing was some set up. "It's all part of their little stunt to freak us out. Hippie girl, couldn't you use your freaky powers or whatever to tell if they were lying or not."

"My name is Dawn." Dawn glared at Heather, with the queen bee rolling her eyes. The aura reader was currently busy trying to keep Lincoln from completely freaking out and possibly even fainting. "And I didn't get a good look at their auras before they left so I couldn't tell."

Meanwhile Owen was searching through the backpack that held the newspaper and see if it had anything else. And the item he soon saw shocked him and made him truly feel fear over their situation. "If this was a stunt, would Chris leave behind his...hair gel?" Owen then pulled out a bottle of hair gel that had Chris' face on it.

This caused everyone, sans Heather, to let out a loud horrified gasp. "Woah." Gwen let out as fear started to overtake her. While she enjoyed watching psycho killers on the big screen, experiencing one herself was something else entirely. "This is for real!"

"No way Chris would go anywhere without his hair gel." Courtney pointed out while shaking as she took the bottle of hair gel from Owen and examined it. "U-Unless he was in a r-rush to escape something…"

CONFESSIONAL – COURTNEY

"Ok, maybe it was a good thing Lindsay left last time." Courtney stated in a fearful tone. "In horror movies, the dumb blond is always the first to go."

CONFESSIONAL – LINCOLN

"I-I-I-Is i-it b-b-bad I w-want H-H-Heather to b-be right t-t-this t-time?" Lincoln stuttered as he rocked himself back and forth in fetal position.

"So let me get this straight." DJ was also on the verge of having a panic attack based on his tone. "Chris left us for dead and now we're alone while that escaped psycho killer with the chainsaw is on the loose?"

"We're all gonna die! We're all gonna die! We're all gonna die! We're all gonna die! We're all gonna-" Lincoln was once again repeating stuff but was cut off by Courtney who grabbed him by the collar.

"Pull! Your! Self! To-geth-er!" Courtney yelled right at Lincoln's face while slapping it a few times. After she was finished, she pulled him closer and made sure his eyes were looking right at hers. "No one's gonna die on my watch solider do you hear me?!"

"Ma'am! Yes Ma'am!" Lincoln instinctively said, getting Courtney to let go of him. Lincoln then rubbed his face and looked at the CIT again. "Thanks. I needed that."

"Courtney's right DJ." Leshawna yelled at the brickhouse who was currently in fetal position on the dock. "You need to cut the chicken little routine and get a hold of yourself."

"I can't help it." DJ whimpered while shaking. "I feel like we're being watched."

"Duh. It's a reality show." Heather pointed out the obvious as she gestured to all the cameras that were watching and recording them. "We're always being watched."

"…She's got a point." Dawn of all people pointed out. While she was still a bit on edge, she hasn't decided on whether or not she thinks this is real.

"Okay, look. It doesn't matter if this is real or a challenge." Deciding to both try and calm everyone down and take control of the situation in case there actually was a crazy killer on the loose. "We need a game plan."

"I agree with Gwen." Courtney said as she took a place right next to the goth with everyone having their eyes on them. "There is ten of us and potentially one psycho. If we think of something, we can take em out!"

"Yeah, yeah, we need a plan! Any plan!" DJ yelled, willing to go on board with anyone so long as it meant him not having to face down some sort of lunatic.

"You little frightwigs might need a game plan, but I need a facial." Heather decided to ditch this bunch of chickens and go to the communal bathroom and work on her looks. Let these losers worry about some fake killer. Just meant she would have some time to herself.

"Are you crazy?" Gwen said as Heather started walking away. While Heather was about the farthest away from being Gwen's favorite person, it was important that they all try to survive. "First rule of slasher films, never go off alone!"

"I might actually listen to you if I were in a movie. We're being punked." Heather once again pointed out the obvious. It all added up. Chris giving them a horror movie, and then throw them into a horror movie. Just another one of that demented host's challenges and way of torturing them. Well she wasn't gonna fall for it! "You're so gullible. Hey! Chris! If you're listening, next time, rent one that takes place at a summer camp!"

Gwen was about to say something, but Dawn cut her off. "You're really gonna pass up on opportunity for her to get slashed?" Everyone gasped as they all turned to the aura reader with rather shocked looks. She was the last person here they expected to have a morbid thought like that. Even Lincoln! Dawn saw everyone's reactions and pointed out. "What? We're all thinking it. I know you're all thinking it."

"…" There was an awkward silence with the exception of some crickets being heard in the woods.

"…Hey." Duncan spoke up with a shrug. "When the hippie is right, she's right."

"Then it's official ladies and germs!" Izzy laughed as she put a finger to one end of her neck. "The bossy mean chick has sealed her fate!" Izzy then slowly ran her finger through her neck while making a cutting sound with her mouth.

"Wow." Owen let out with a love-struck look sent directly towards Izzy. "You're really good at sound effects."

"I say we go back to camp and talk strategy." Courtney spoke up to everyone, getting all their attention once again. "Who's in?" Everyone quickly nodded their head and followed both the CIT and goth back to the camp site to hopefully find a way to outwit the escaped psycho killer with a chain saw and a hook…at least…most of them did.

OWEN AND IZZY

With Izzy convincing Owen, both she and the big guy were probably doing possibly the second worst thing you could do in a horror movie. Be a couple alone in the woods. The absolute worst just being a dumb pretty girl but we lost the chance to use that trope last week.

"So that's how Owen won the hot-dog-a-thon." To fill the silence of the woods, Owen was telling one of his life stories to Izzy. While talking in the third person for…some reason. "Owen ate two hundred dogs. Well, a hundred and ninety-eight, actually. The judges wouldn't count the last two since they squirted back up Owen's nose. Hahaha!"

"Wicked!" Izzy let out. The orange haired girl always liked Owen. He was super fun! And that was what Izzy looked for in a man. How wild, crazy, and fun they were. Just like her! And she'd say Owen fit the bill quite nicely. "Izzy's impressed!" And she too was speaking in the third person but it was nothing new for the psycho hose beast.

Owen smiled at the crazy girl. Her craziness must be contagious because she certainly made him crazy if ya know what I mean. Cheesy pickup lines aside, Owen really felt like he was scoring major points with Izzy lately. Especially tonight! They might even kick it up to relationship status if he was lucky! But still, something crossed the big guy's mind. The fact they were walking around randomly in the woods. "Hey." Owen spoke up to get Izzy's attention. "Where are we going?"

"Izzy's walking in the woods." Izzy's answer was straight forward but didn't exactly satisfy Owen.

"Oh. Cool. The woods. Huh... the woods." That didn't sit right with Owen for some reason. Normally being in the woods would be rather normal considering they were at a camp, but tonight was different. "Why does that feel wrong?"

Unknown to the two, a set of eyes was watching them from a nearby bush. His breathing unheard due to the wind that passed by.

CAMP SITE

Back at camp, with the exception of Owen, Izzy, and Heather, everyone was gathered up at the camp fire pit to talk strategy. It was better to stay in a big group like this. After all in a horror movie, once you're alone you might as well be wearing a 'kill me' sign on your back. And while they were all grouped up, Gwen and Courtney were doing their best to make a survival plan.

And while they were planning, Lincoln was currently holding onto Edward for dear life in his arms while cradling himself on a stump. "It's all fake...It's all fake...it's gotta be fake..." Lincoln told himself as Dawn patted his back. Frankly she was the only reason he wasn't breaking down right now.

"Please be fake...please be fake..." DJ wasn't doing so well either and was sucking his thumb while in fetal position.

"Pfft, what a bunch of chickens." Duncan rolled his eyes at what cowards Lincoln and DJ were being. Seriously, if those two wanted to survive they needed to man up. The super scared ones always bit the dust after all. Some earlier than others.

"Well sorry Duncan!" Lincoln snapped at the delinquent as he gripped Edward tighter. The platypus also helping him deal with this situation. "Not all of us have the super horror movie knowledge and bravery ok!"

"Sh, sh, sh, it's alright Lincoln." Dawn spoke softly to Lincoln in an effort to calm him down. All yelling and fighting was gonna do was get them nowhere. Possibly worse if this turned out to be real. "Just calm down."

Lincoln sighed a little and tried his best to do that. "Uh, Q-Tip." Leshawna spoke up, getting the white head's attention. "You might wanna loosen your grip."

Lincoln at first didn't get what Leshawna meant, but when he looked at a certain mammal he was holding, he figured out exactly what Leshawna meant. The platypus was having a difficult time breathing due to Lincoln's grip and was trying to struggle out of it. "Oh my gosh!" Lincoln let out as he let go of Edward, allowing the platypus to jump down onto the ground. "S-Sorry little buddy!"

"BRBRBRBRBRBR!" Edward let out angrily at Lincoln, his little platypus eyes glaring daggers at the Loud boy. "BRBRB! BRBR! BRBRBRB!"

"Sorry! Sorry!" Lincoln repeatedly apologized as he raised his hands in the air. Dawn couldn't help but giggle a little at the scene as Edward moved away from Lincoln and onto an empty stump where he wouldn't be suffocated to death.

"Hehehe, well like I was saying Lincoln we all have our weaknesses." Dawn reassured the Loud boy as he slumped down and rested his head in his hands. "It's nothing to be ashamed of."

"T-Thanks…" Lincoln stuttered as he hugged himself. Lincoln then tried to think of ways of staying on the bright side and said. "B-But hey, not like they would just leave us all alone with an actual psycho killer on TV right?"

CONFESSIONAL – DAWN

"Lincoln…I love you, I really do." Dawn sighed a bit as she face palmed. "But...you might've just jinxed us."

"Alright everyone, here's how we stand right now." Finally Courtney and Gwen were finished up with their planning. The two girls stood up to get everyone's attention with Gwen setting down a stand with a campus on it that had a drawing of everyone, including Edward, on it. "If we're gonna get through tonight, then we need to set up some group rules."

"Courtney's right. There are some things you should neverdo in a horror movie." Gwen began to list off the list of horror movie no-noes. "Rule number one, do not go off on your own. Rule number two, if you do go off on your own, never go in the woods! Rule number three, if you do go in the woods, never ever ever make out in the woods or you will die in the woods!" Gwen and Courtney then looked to Dawn and Lincoln. "Especially you two!"

Both Dawn and Lincoln narrowed their eyes at the goth and CIT. "Oh come on, we know when to show restraint.." Dawn said with a large blush on her face as she crossed her arms. "We aren't that bad."

"…" Everyone at the campsite was silent as they deadpanned at Lincoln and Dawn. Even DJ stopped panicking so he could do this.

"…Shut up!" Lincoln mumbled at everyone as he looked away from Courtney and Gwen.

Gwen was about to say something, but looking around she noticed the lack of a 300-pound bag of sunshine and mentally insane girl at the camp site. "Where's Izzy and Owen?" Gwen questioned causing everyone to look around for them.

"Breaking rules one through three." Duncan grinned.

OWEN AND IZZY

Currently the two were breaking rules one and two right now. They were on their own and in the woods. And Izzy had decided to ride on Owen's back and use the big guy's head as a drum as Owen walked them both up a hill. "Does this feel wrong to you?" Owen panted as he reached the top of the hill. That bad feeling Owen got earlier only got worse and worse as they went deeper into the woods. Something was seriously wrong with what they were doing right now but he couldn't put his finger on it.

"No, your head's good and hollow, so it's got a great beat." Izzy stated as she gave Owen's head a few good beats. True to her word, Owen's head did sorta sound like the equivalent of something wooden and hollow. "And all your yakking is keeping my mind off the escaped psycho killer with a chainsaw and a hook!"

"Great balls of fire! That's it!" Owen gasped loudly as he threw Izzy off his back. Something that made the psycho hose beast a bit grumpy. But Owen couldn't be concerned about that right now. This was a matter of life and death now! "The psycho killer! Remember how he left the woods to hack apart the couple who were making out?"

"But we're not making out." Izzy was rather quick to point out.

"Oh…yeah." Owen said with a sigh of relief. Still, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

"You wanna make out?" Izzy suddenly asked.

"YES!" Owen immediately answered with absolutely no hesitation. Wasting no time, Izzy quickly grabbed Owen by his shirt collar and threw him as well as herself into a nearby bush and the two quickly locked lips and started a full on a very heated make out session.

All seemed well as the couple locked lips…until the sounds of a loud chain saw was heard. The two had to unfortunately stop their little session and popped their heads out of the bush, with Owen's face covered in orange lipstick. And what they saw was truly a horrific sight.

…The escaped psycho killer with a chainsaw and a hook wearing a hockey mask.

"…AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" Owen and Izzy were incredibly quick to start running away from the slasher villain turned real. But the killer was in hot pursuit of the two teens and refused to let them get away as the all ran…

And ran…

And ran…

And ran…

And ran…

"This feels so much longer and flatter than how we got here!" Owen pointed out as they've all been running in a completely straight line for quite a while with no obstacles or bumps at all.

"That's because horror movies extend the running scenes!" Izzy told Owen as she continued to run forward in the seemingly endless straight path way.

"Really?" Owen questioned with a raised brow. Quite frankly Owen was impressed with himself for running for so long. "Why?"

"It gives them time to film a good wipe out!" Izzy explained as this whole thing was turning into one giant horror cliché.

And then, as if on cue, Owen proceeded to trip on a rock that just seemed to appear out of nowhere…and tumble down a cliff. "Oof! Ow! Eh! Aw! Oh! Ah! D'ah! Aw! Oof! Ow!" Owen let out as he just seemed to hit every single edge of the cliff which held some random painful object like a thorn bush, a cactus, a goat, a fire hydrant, a second cactus, an explosion, and finally a camp fire. "Oh, my spine!"

"Owen, I'm coming!" Izzy called out to her boyfriend as she followed suite and jumped down the cliff…hitting everything Owen hit herself. Luckily her final object she landed on was a rather soft and fat filled one which broke her fall. Once again, Owen was the cushion to a fall. And this time he succeeded! "Hey, Owen! Hi."

But Izzy wasn't able to enjoy laying on top of Owen for long. Soon after Izzy landed on him, a large shadow was casted on them as they looked to see the psycho killer right in front of them. Izzy was quick to stand up and protect Owen.

Meanwhile the big guy proceeded to do the ultimate mark of a coward. "Owen's too young to die! Here, take Izzy!" The psycho then witnessed as Owen pushed, while she was actually trying to protect him no less, Izzy right in front of him.

As Owen ran for his life, Izzy was frozen in fear as the Psycho had in one hand a hockey stick with a chainsaw taped to the end of it. And in the other hand, was a hook instead of an actually hand. Making it extra frightening was that the hook's tip was dripping with a red liquid-like substance. The psycho then raised his hook up…

And slashed Izzy.

As he was running, Owen looked for anywhere he could hide and take cover. A cave. A hole. Even a random barrel. But Owen did manage to spot something rather surprising to see. A large tent. Owen wasn't gonna question it however, not with a psycho on his tail. So the big guy entered the tent…and saw Chris inside of it at a desk watching a series of monitors.

Owen froze a bit as he and Chris looked at each other. The big guy swore he and everyone else saw the two head off the island on a boat. But there was no time to question this. There was a freaking killer outside! "Dude! Dude!" Owen yelled as Chris had an amused smile on his face. "There's a guy with a hockey mask and a chainsaw and a hook! And he's after us!" Just then Owen looked at one of the monitors in the tent and saw the psycho was carrying Izzy with his hook by the back of her shirt collar. "Yeah, right there! He's right..." The psycho then entered the tent with Izzy still alive and in his grasp with a red X painted on her belly. "We're frickin' dead!"

To keep the big guy from screaming more, Chris covered Owen's mouth with his hand. "Owen! Stop screaming!" Chris told the big guy as he removed his hand from Owen's mouth. "it's Chef!"

Gasping, Owen watched as the 'psycho' set Izzy down safely on the ground and flipped up his mask…revealing it truly was Chef behind it. "Oh, cool!" Izzy started to laugh after learning it was all a hoax. And Chef couldn't help but grin a little at how scared he made the kids. "Great costume! Wow, you totally got me. You did. I was freaked out."

"You punked us?" Owen asked as he tried to lower his heart rate.

"Yes and no." Chris told Owen with a grin as Chef walked up to Owen and used his hook to paint a red X on Owen's shirt right on the Maple Leaf. "It was your challenge to watch a scary movie then survive one. And before you ask, that X Chef painted on you means you failed."

Owen breathed a sigh of relief before laughing. "Did you hear that? He was punking us! It was a joke!" Owen said to Izzy…who quickly glared and crossed her arms at Owen. To think he pushed her right into the killer and left her for dead. And she thought Owen was nice and fun! "Too funny! Hah. I was all 'Aaaaaaah' and then you were all 'Eeeeh!' Haha! For the love of Peter Pumpkin Eater. That was some fun going on! Hehehe, am I right?" Izzy kept glaring at Owen. Owen quickly frowned and realized what Izzy was focused on. "Oh. You're still on the part where Owen shoved Izzy into the killer?"

"The good news is you're safe." Chris reassured the both of them as he put an arm around both of their shoulders. "The bad news is you lost the challenge, but now, you get to watch our fake psycho terrorize the rest of the campers. Hahaha, fun huh?"

"Yes! Totally awesome TV viewing!" Owen cheered as he tried to hype Izzy up and get her to stop being mad at him…it didn't work. "Owen's not getting to second base, is he?" Izzy shook her head. "First base?" Izzy shook her head again. "Didn't think so. Is he getting up to ba-"

Izzy punched Owen in the face to shut him up.

"Great work, Chef." Chris complimented the fake psycho killer as he handed him a bucket of red paint for Chef to dip his claw into. "But next time, try to work the hook hand angle a bit more." Chef simply chuckled as he lowered his mask and went off to go terrorize the rest of the campers.

CAMP SITE

Back at the camp site, Courtney and Gwen were going over the chart that the goth made to make sure everyone was in order. "Okay, with this chart hopefully we can…" Gwen was saying but when she and Courtney looked back at everyone they saw that DJ and Edward were no longer with them.

"Where'd DJ and Edward go?" Courtney quickly asked as both she and the goth looked around for any signs of the mentioned two. They literally just discussed about not going off alone.

"Eh, DJ had to take a leak and he took the platypus with him." Duncan answered casually while resting his head in one of his hands.

"He was too scared to go off on his own." Dawn answered as Lincoln rested his head on her lap. "So Edward offered to go with him."

DJ AND EDWARD

Currently, DJ and Edward the Platypus were outside the communal washroom. DJ was shaking like fifty leaves and looking every which way for where the psycho could be. Once the brick house confirmed that there was no one else around, he looked down at Edward. "Okay, no matter what, you do not leave." DJ told the platypus, with Edward rolling his eyes. "Not if you hear a psycho. Not if you see a psycho. Not if the psycho is slashing you to bits!"

"Brbrbrbr!" Edward let out loudly as he slapped DJ's leg with his tail.

(Translation: Go take a piss already ya big baby!)

DJ gulped a bit and entered the bathroom. The brickhouse was still completely terrified…and that feeling only got worse when he heard a creaking sound. "Hello…" DJ managed to squeak out for he heard a low humming. Looking to the source, DJ saw what was easily the most terrifying thing of all time.

Heather shaving her legs wearing a bath towel with a green face mask on her.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" DJ let out as he saw Heather shave her hair covered legs.

"DJ! It's me!" Heather yelled at the brick house as she turned off her razor and walked up to him. "Heather!" This seemed to get DJ to stop screaming and calm down…

Only for the brick house scream even loud as he quickly ran as fast as he can out of the bathroom…leaving a DJ shaped hole in the wall. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!" DJ screamed as he blindly ran as fast as he could away from the scene.

Edward jumped a bit at the scene and looked through the hole DJ made…and cringed when he saw Heather inside. The platypus then quickly made his way back to the campsite

Once back, everyone saw Edward waddle back to Dawn and Lincoln. "Brbrbrbr." Edward told the aura reader who nodded in response.

"We lost DJ." Dawn said rather bluntly, getting everyone to gasp.

"Did the killer get him?!" Courtney questioned with a panicked look on her face.

"No Heather." Dawn stated getting everyone to calm down.

"Now that makes slightly more sense." Duncan couldn't help but chuckle and wish we was there to see DJ's reaction. Just then Courtney got up and started heading off. "Where you goin babe?"

"Gonna go check on Heather." Courtney revealed getting a few confused looks from everyone. That was the last person they were expecting for Courtney, or anyone really, to be worried about. "Oh don't look at me like that. She may be a total witch but not even she deserves to get slashed up with a chainsaw…much."

And so the CIT made her way to the communal bathroom. She was a bit taken back by the DJ shaped hole in the wall but wasn't too surprised that DJ could manage that. He was pretty strong after all. But Courtney decided she rather used the door and immediately saw Heather still in her bath towel. "Everything ok in here?" Courtney asked as Heather crossed her arms. Everyone just seemed to be interrupting her tonight. "I heard DJ got quite the scare…now I think I get it."

"Oh haha, you're hilarious." Heather sarcastically let out as she glared at the CIT. "And relax, I'm fine. Like I've been saying this whole time, this whole escaped psycho thing is a giant ruse. Now can I have my shower in peace, please?"

"Heather, I still think it would be a better call if-" Courtney was cut off by Heather giving her an incredibly annoyed and fierce glare. "Ya know what, fine. But if a psycho ends up impaling you with a hook don't come crying to me."

"Whatever." Heather rolled her eyes as Courtney exited the bathroom. With no one here to bother her, Heather was finally able to get through with her shower. So entering a stall, Heather turned on the water and put a hand under it and wait for the temperature to become just right…and then she heard knocking on the stall door.

"Hello? I'm in the shower!" Heather yelled at whoever was out there. She had waited all day for this and wasn't about to let anyone ruin it for her now. But whoever was out there seemed to be determined to tick Heather off as they knocked even more on the door. "Very funny, Duncan. Now get lost!" Convinced it was the delinquent trying to prank her, Heather was about to hop into the shower and just forget him…until the sound of a chainsaw was heard.

This actually got a fearful reaction from Heather. But the queen bee was still sure it was a prank. It was probably just a recording of a chain saw someone was playing through their phone. "I'm serious dude, get lo-" Heather opened up the door to the shower stall intent on giving whoever was outside a piece of her mind…only to see the Escaped Psycho Killer with a Chainsaw and a Hook. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!"

"Maybe if you paid attention to the scary movies, you'd know that A. you never go off alone, and B. You certainly never shower alone." Heather was then taken to the tent Chris, along with Owen, Izzy, and DJ were at with a red X now on DJ's shirt and Heather's towel. After scolding Heather, Chris looked at the monitors and saw Gwen and Courtney face palming over the fact that Leshawna went to go get some food from the mess hall. And another monitor showed Leshawna getting some brownies from the kitchen with Psycho Chef closing in on her.

"Woo-hoo-hoo! I did not see that coming! No way." And about 15-minutes later, Leshawna was brought back to the tent with a tray of brownies in her hand and a red X painted on her shirt. While she was still taken down, Leshawna did one thing no one else did so far. Challenge the killer.

"Mm, and challenging the killer? What were you thinking?" Chris questioned Leshawna as he chewed on one of the brownies, she brought with her. "But you scored major points for scooping up these delicious munchies."

While most in the tent enjoyed the treat, Heather was more concerned over her face mask. "Chris, can I just leave for five minutes?" Heather asked as cracks started forming on the green substance covering the queen bee's face. "This mask is chafing."

"Yeah, yeah!" DJ begged Chris to allow Heather to do that as he cowered behind the host. Honestly Heather was a lot worse than anything Chef could dress up as. "Let her leave!"

"Sorry, we gotta wait 'til everyone's slashed." Chris chuckled as he patted a whimpering DJ on the hand. Chris was just having way too much fun with this challenge. Even after they got out, Chris was still enjoying them being scared out of their skin. "And I think it's time for TDI's favorite couple to bite the dust. Cue operation, animal in distress." Chris grinned as he walked in front of the control panel connected to the monitors and pressed a button.

Back at the camp site, Gwen and Courtney were feeling rather irritated. Even after everything they've done to try and protect everyone, half of them have probably fallen victim to the psycho killer. That left only Gwen, Courtney, Duncan, Dawn, Lincoln and Edward still alive and gathered up at the campsite. But soon that number will be sliced right in half with a chainsaw…

Hoooooowl…howl…howl…hooooooowl…

"Oh my goodness!" Dawn immediately stood up from her seat as everyone heard the sound of weak howling in the distance. It was like a wolf pleading for his life. Dawn could picture it now. The psycho killer roaming through the woods, looking for campers to slash when a wolf pounced him for stepping into its territory and the psycho stabbing the poor thing with his hook. With that image in her head, Dawn quickly took off into the woods. "Don't worry little wolfie! I'm coming!"

"Dawn!" Gwen yelled at the aura reader. Why the heck was Dawn suddenly running right into the woods?! "What the heck are you doing?!"

"There's an injured animal in the woods!" Dawn answered back as she kept going. "That killer hurt some innocent animal and I can't just stand back and do nothing!"

"Huh, well look at that." Duncan couldn't help but grin at the whole thing. This psycho was more crafty the he thought. "He knew exactly how to lure Dawn out. Gotta say I'm impressed."

"Dawn wait!" Despite the fear he was experiencing all night, there was no way he was gonna let Dawn go off on her own with some psycho on the loose. Lincoln liked to think he was better then that. "I'm coming!"

"And how to lure her boyfriend out as well. Great, just great." Courtney pinched her temples in frustration as the psycho pretty much killed two birds with one stone. Literally. Well make that three because when Courtney looked, she saw Edward chasing after them. "And their little Platypus too…"

"Don't worry little creature, I'm coming!" Dawn called out as she ran through the woods in the direction of where the animal's cries were coming from. Right behind Dawn was Lincoln with Edward riding on his shoulder. She was rather surprised Lincoln was willing to go with her, but it looks like he was able to try and face his fears for her sake. "Thanks again for joining me Lincoln. And you two Edward."

"Yeah well…can't just let my girlfriend go out by herself." Lincoln sheepishly said. In truth Lincoln was still completely terrified for not only his life, but Dawn and Edward's. He just had to hope that they could get this over with quickly and head back to the campsite with the others. "So where's this animal at? Can't you sense it or something?"

"I'm…I'm trying." Dawn said as she took a look at their surrounding and tried to use her aura abilities to sense where this injured animal was but couldn't seem to pick up anything. "But I can't sense it for some reason. I could have sworn it was coming from around here."

Hoooooowl…howl…howl…hooooooowl…

"There it is again." Lincoln said as he and Dawn quickly looked around as the weak howling was coming from nearby. But like before, Dawn wasn't able to sense anything close to an injured wolf. Or any sort of injured animal.

Meanwhile Edward hopped down from Lincoln's shoulder and looked around. The egg laying mammal had a suspicious feeling about this whole thing. Just seemed…sudden. Just then the platypus noticed a nearby rustling bush. "Brbrbrb." Edward said, getting Lincoln and Dawn's attention. They then watched as Edward moved towards the bush he had his eye on.

"What is it little buddy?" Lincoln asked as he and Dawn watched Edward enter the bush. They both raised a brow at the platypus' action…but soon gasped when he emerged from the bush. In Edward's bill…was a tape recorder.

Hoooooowl…howl…howl…hooooooowl…

And this tape recorder was the one playing that sound of the injured wolf. It was a ruse. "Oh my goodness…" Dawn covered her mouth as a feeling of fear soon came over her.

"We gotta get out of here. Now!" Lincoln quickly said. He was easily able to piece together that the psycho left that here to draw Dawn out. And by extension him. But before they had a chance to run, the sound of a chainsaw was heard. Lincoln gasped loud as he looked to the source and found the killer himself right behind Dawn.

Despite all of Lincoln's instincts telling him to run for his life, the fact that the killer was behind Dawn and was ready to strike awoke a stronger feeling in him. And he found himself jumping the killer. "DAWN!" Dawn looked back to see the killer behind her. But also saw Lincoln had bounced the psycho and tried his best to punch the psychopath into submission. "GET OUT OF-WOAH!"

But sadly it was a fruitless effort as the killer grabbed Lincoln by the back of his collar and effortlessly threw Lincoln down on the ground. "LINCOLN!" Dawn shrieked in horror at seeing her boyfriend being tossed around like a ragdoll. However, when Dawn got a good look at this psycho's aura and saw how incredibly familiar it was. Great…so Heather was right. That certainly left a bad taste in the aura reader's mouth.

Hearing a growling sound, Dawn looked at the 'psycho's' feet to see Edward doing his best to gnaw at his boot. If only mother nature had given him teeth. The 'killer' couldn't help but chuckle a bit as he nudged Edward off his foot and sent the platypus laying on the ground belly-side up. And with Lincoln and Edward subdued on the ground, the 'psycho' proceeded to use his hook to paint a red X on Lincoln's shirt and Edward's belly.

"What the…" Lincoln was now incredibly confused as he and Edward looked at their X's. Edward in particular had an idea…

CONFESSIONAL – EDWARD

Edward was standing on his hind legs. The X on his belly perfectly visible. The platypus looked around carefully to make sure no one else was around. Once he was in the clear, the platypus reached down and proceeded to pull up a Straw Hat and put it on his head. "Brbrbr!"

(Translation: To the Grand Line!)

Dawn simply sighed as the 'killer' approached her and decided to simply put her hands in the air. "Alright Chef." Dawn revealed making Lincoln's eyes widen. "You got us."

"Hold on…Chef?!" Lincoln bolted to his feet as Chef painted an X on Dawn's shirt. Turning around, Lincoln watched as the man lifted up his hockey mask to reveal a grinning and chuckling Chef. Lincoln then sighed as he slumped down a bit. "Ya know…really should have seen that coming…"

"Ya know, kinda surprised it took ya this long to catch onto things moon child." Chris grinned after Chef had taken Dawn and Lincoln and Edward to the tent where the host, Owen, Izzy, DJ, Heather, and Leshawna were at. "Figured you'd be the one to ruin this whole thing."

"Well I guess you guys stepped up your game this time." Dawn rolled her eyes with a smirk on her face. Truth be told she was also surprised she wasn't able to get a grasp on things. Oh well, everyone has their off days. Chris simply chuckled and went to go prep Chef for taking out the last three and possibly hardest campers to take down. Once the host was away, Dawn took Lincoln's hand into her own and looked lovingly at him. "That was really brave of you to try and protect me."

"Well, what can I say." Lincoln sheepishly said as he blushed from Dawn's contact. "You're my girlfriend. I'm not just gonna shove you in front of the killer or something." At this remark, Izzy glared hard at Owen causing the big guy to nervously laugh. "…What?"

"Um, nevermind them." Dawn pulled Lincoln away from the two. She was fully aware of what Owen did. "Here, I think your bravery should be rewarded~" Dawn then placed a kiss on Lincoln's cheek.

"Brbrbrb! Brbrb!" Edward let out as he pulled on Dawn's pant leg.

"Oh of course." Dawn chuckled a bit as she picked up Edward. "You were very brave too Edward." Dawn then placed a kiss on the Platypuses cheek, satisfying the egg laying mammal.

"Oh no." Lincoln let out over dramatically with a playful smirk on his face. "My girlfriends cheating on me with a platypus!"

"Oh hush you." Dawn playfully shoved Lincoln causing them both to chuckle. But just then Dawn smirked at him with half lidded eyes as she grabbed Lincoln by his collar and pulled him down so that his ear was right next to her mouth. "But how about we head out of this tent and I can give you a real reward~"

"Wow…" Lincoln's entire face went red as a goofy grin came to his face. "Well-"

"Good answer!" Dawn then pulled Lincoln out of the tent.

Right on time as Chris returned as soon as they left. "Alright everyone, get ready for-" Chris was about to tell everyone about how Chef was about to head off to try and get Gwen, Courtney and Duncan, but the host soon noticed the lack of two of the most recent victims. "Where's Lincoln and Dawn."

Everyone looked around and indeed saw no trace of them. The two had kept to themselves in the corner and were talking quietly so they didn't even notice them. "I don't know." Owen said as he looked around. "They were here just a minute ago."

"You really can't figure it out?" Heather scoffed as the need to barf came to her and what those two were obviously doing right now. "Teen couple, night time, horror movie setting. Do the math."

"…" Everyone was silent as they soon realized what they were doing.

"Mmmmmmm~" Dawn moaned as her and Lincoln's lips clashed with each other. The couple decided that since they were out of the challenge, might as well pass the time with a little make out session. And the two were going wild tonight.

Lincoln's back was pressed against a tree as Dawn was the one to overpower him and take the lead. Not just in position, but mouth as well. Suddenly, Lincoln felt Dawn separating her lips a bit and followed suit…giving Dawn full permission to insert her tongue into his mouth.

Lincoln's eyes widened a bit…but soon relaxed and decided to play along. While Ronnie Anne did claim his first kiss…Dawn was claiming his first French kiss. 'This girl knows how to push all my buttons.' Lincoln thought as the feeling of arousal was really coming over him.

Deciding not to let Dawn have all the fun, Lincoln quickly started to fight back Dawn's tongue with his own. Dawn giggled a bit as she proceeded to put up quite the tongue fight with Lincoln. 'I was wondering when he was gonna fight back~' Dawn mentally giggled as the Loud boy wrapped his arms tighter around her and started rolling around on the dirt a bit with the two never losing their connection.

But they were only human. And humans needed air. So only when they absolutely had to, they separated and looked into each other's eyes. They took deep breaths and as soon as she had enough air in her, Dawn said. "So…ready for round two~"

Lincoln didn't need to be told twice.

"Hehehe, man those two just can't keep their hands off each other." Chris chuckled before sitting down and facing a monitor. "Good thing this isn't a real horror movie or those two would be psycho food. And speaking of psycho's, let's see how ours is doing."

"Duncan…this is easily the most insane thing you've ever done." Courtney told Duncan as she was frozen in fear. Currently the two were right in front of the Dock of Shame. Waiting for them…was the psycho killer. He was waiting for one of them to come to him. And Duncan was fully intent on taking out this killer himself.

CONFESSIONAL – DUNCAN

"When you got an all-out prize fight, you wait until the fight is over." Duncan revealed his strategy for this whole thing. "One guy's left standing and that's how you know who won."

"You better believe it babe, so just stand back and enjoy the show." Duncan told his girlfriend as she simply gulped and watched as Duncan approached the psycho. "Oh, this is gonna be fun. Come and get it, goalie boy."

When Duncan reached the dock, he picked up one the chairs and threw it at the psycho as he approached the delinquent. But with his mighty chain saw, the psycho easily sliced apart the chair. Duncan flinched a bit and quickly threw a canoe, only for the aquatic transportation to meet the same fate. The same goes for a life jacket and surf board he threw. All sliced apart by the killer's chainsaw.

The psycho was now a mere foot away from the delinquent as Duncan made a last-ditch throw. A fish. And this of all things is what made contact. When the fish slid off the killer's mask and onto the dock, he raised a brow at Duncan through his mask. "What? I ran out of stuff to throw." Duncan stated as the killer simply glared at Duncan before raising up his chainsaw.

Duncan screamed and jumped out of the way as the killer swung his chainsaw right into the dock. And this was just the opportunity Duncan needed. Grinning, the delinquent kicked the hockey stick the saw was attached to hard enough to break it. With his chainsaw gone, the psycho raised up his hook…only for Duncan to cut it off with the killer's own chainsaw. "Thought you could scare me? Ha!" Duncan smirked and laughed at the killer as he held the chainsaw up, prompting the killer to raise his hands in the air.

"Duncan!" Courtney was quick to run up to Duncan once he had won his battle. The psycho was officially defeated. "I don't know whether to slap you and tell you how stupid that was, or to call you brave and kiss you."

"How bout that second one." Duncan grinned at his girlfriend before looking back at the killer. "But first, let's see who's behind the mask!"

15 minutes later, everyone in the tent smirked as they saw Duncan, Courtney, and Chef appear in the tent. "Someone lose this?" Courtney asked as she twirled around Chef's mask.

Everyone started cheering for the delinquent and CIT. Duncan then looked towards Dawn and Lincoln and saw the numerous amount of lipstick marks on the Loud boy. "Know when to show restraint huh?" Duncan smirked and crossed his arms at the two.

"Hey, we didn't start making out till after we were slashed!" Lincoln defended himself and Dawn. "Doesn't count!"

"Keep telling yourself that Orange Joe." Duncan said making the couple in front of him roll their eyes.

"Hey, coolio!" Izzy said as she pointed to a monitor Gwen was on. "Gwen's taking on the psycho all by herself! Oh ho ho!"

Everyone froze at what Izzy said. Gwen was taking on the pyscho? But how? When they looked to the monitors, they saw Gwen talking with a man that had a similar body shape to Chef, only with pale white skin. In one hand was a chainsaw, and the other hand was replaced with a big meat hook. "Wait a sec…" Duncan pointed out as everyone felt horror filling them up. "If Chef's in here...then who's in the lodge with Gwen?!"

"Holy Lola!" Owen loudly gasped as he quickly realized what was happening. "It's the real escaped psycho killer with a chainsaw and a hook!"

Everyone quickly screamed as they bolted out of the tent and headed to the main lodge to save Gwen. "This could be really, really good for ratings..." Chris said to Chef while panting. "Or really, really bad for lawsuits!"

THE MAIN LODGE

As for why Gwen was here, she was fed up. After all her hard work everyone just up and left somewhere. Practically letting the killer get them. At this point, she just didn't care and decided to head to the cafeteria to make some sandwiches.

And soon after that…she found herself talking with the real Escaped Psycho Killer with a Chainsaw and a hook. "Okay, I know actors without speaking parts don't get paid much, but seriously, dude, invest in a dental plan and some toothpaste!" Gwen pointed out as she cringed at the psycho's breath. Unaware that he was a psycho.

CONFESSIONAL – PSYCHO KILLER

The Psycho Killer breathed into his hand and give it a quick sniff. "Oh…"

"Hey! You want a sandwich before you impale me with your big, scary hook?" Gwen offered the Psycho Killer the last sandwich on the plate. He simply shook his head silently. "Okay." Gwen then took the sandwich for herself. Still not put off by the man in front of her. "Look, you can drop the charade, okay? I know you're an actor with a hook prop. And frankly, you're not that scary."

This caused the Psycho Killer to get quite angry with Gwen has he held up his hooked hand and removed it. Sure enough, it wasn't fake. His hand was gone and replaced with a hook. "Ew!" Gwen cringed and dropped her sandwich at the disgusting sight. "How did they get it to go all scabby like that?"

The Psycho Killer then growled and raised his chainsaw and hook into the air. "GWEN!" Gwen looked to the entrance of the lodge and saw Chris, Chef, and the rest of the campers there screaming to her. "HE'S THE REAL ESCAPED PSYCHO KILLER WITH A CHAINSAW AND A HOOK!"

"What?!" Gwen gasped as she finally realized the situation. The psycho growled again leading Gwen to scream as she backed away from the killer.

As everyone was frozen in fear…Dawn glared hard at the killer. "Leave this to me." Everyone gasped as Dawn started stomping over to the psycho. A fierce look on her face as she cracked her knuckles. The Psycho Killer noticed this and let off Gwen and narrowed his eyes at the aura reader that was now right in front of him. Everyone watched as they actually thought Dawn was about to fight this man…only to put a hand on his shoulder and give him a sympathetic look. "There's no reason to act out in this way because of your family issues."

"What'd she just say?" Leshawna asked after an incredibly awkward silence.

The Psycho Killer was silent as he glared at Dawn…before dropping his chain saw on and falling to his knees crying. "AaAaAaAaAah!" The Psycho Killer cried as he removed his mask. "It's true!"

Just then Dawn grabbed the killer by the ear and started dragging him out the door. "You and I need to have a loooooong talk mister." Dawn told the Psycho Killer firmly.

The Psycho Killer sniffled a little and nodded his head. "Ok…"

Everyone just watched with shocked looks as Dawn dragged the Psycho Killer out of the main lodge.

And then DJ fainted.

"Welp…tonight certainly was interesting." Chris had gathered up all the campers at the camp fire. The only exception being Dawn who was with the Psycho Killer. "But that's all in the past. Now, it's time to dump a camper. Now, most of you have those red X's on you. Pretty much signaling that you got slashed by Chef. Would the first person to receive one please stand up."

Izzy, after sending a quick glare to Owen, stood up. "Izzy, sorry mate, but your gonzo. Tonight is sudden death!" Everyone gasped loudly as Izzy glared even harder at Owen. "Yep! Whoever got the X first is the one to go! Hehehe, two sudden deaths in a row. Merciless ain't I."

"I-I-Izzy…" Owen stuttered as he approached the crazy girl who was giving him an incredibly mad look. He couldn't blame her though. He was kinda the reason she was eliminated. "I'm really-GAH!" Izzy was in no mood for apologies as she kicked Owen in the kiwi's before walking towards the Dock of Shame.

"Soooooo…" Chris let out as he approached Owen. "How's the relationship big guy?"

"Ooooow…" Owen shrieked out. He was barely able to keep his eyes open, but he wished he didn't keep them open. For the only thing he could see was Izzy getting on the Boat of Losers once again this season, and leaving the island.

"I just don't understand..." The Psycho Killer cried into his hands. The nature lover had taken the killer to the tent Chris was using earlier to monitor the challenge and was giving the Psycho Killer a full-on therapy session. "Why didn't my father love me?!"

"Whatever the reason was, just know it wasn't your fault." Dawn reassured the killer as she patted his shoulder. "He was the one that refused to open up to you."

"It's just...I wanted to be a folk singer!" The psycho revealed his one true passion in life. "But my dad said 'Butchering is the family business and I'm not gonna let you ruin this family!' And look what the family business did to me! I lost a hand!" The killer then removed his hook to reveal his missing hand to Dawn. The hand he lost in a butchering accident.

"Well it's not too late for that." Dawn told the Psycho Killer, making his eyes widen. "You got the rest of your life ahead of you to do whatever you want."

"You…You really think so?" The killer asked the aura reader with a hopeful look.

"Of course!" Dawn said with no hesitation. "Mother Nature created us to chase our dreams. Doesn't matter when, if you want to do it you should go do it!"

"Wow…" The Psycho Killer soon smiled as he stood up. "I never thought of it like that."

Lincoln gulped a bit as he approached the tent. He knew Dawn was here…but so was the Psycho Killer. And speaking of the Psycho Killer, he exited the tent right as Lincoln was about to enter and getting a fright out of the Loud boy. "Don't worry, no reason to be afraid of me." The Psycho Killer reassured Lincoln with a smile on his face. He even took off his hook again and threw it away. "My days of being a psycho are over! From now on, I'm gonna be a folk singer! And I don't care what you think dad! Ooooooooooh! She'll be coming 'round the mountain when she comes! Yee-haw! She'll be coming 'round the mountain when she comes! Yee-haw!"

Lincoln watched with a stunned look as Dawn exited the tent and stood next to him. "Huh, turns out he wasn't so bad after all." Lincoln said as he watched the Ex-Psycho Killer skip off. "He was just misunderstood, and not some crazy killer."

"Oh, uh, no…" Dawn sheepishly revealed to her boyfriend. "He…definitely killed a few people.

"…O…Oh…" Lincoln let out as fear started to come to him again.

And with Dawn and Lincoln watching the Ex-Psycho Killer sing folk songs into the night came the end of another episode of Total. Drama. Island!
