User blog:DJ Spenstar/TDIn chapter 17 preview SPOILER ALERT!!

The final seven walked back to camp after Daisy’s elimination. Walking behind the others was Damien, his eyes filled with tears.

Daisy...  said Damien in the confessional, ''I promise, I will not be weak. I swear, I will NOT fall! I WILL do everything I can to win this game and avenge your elimination! Daisy, no one ever meant so much to me as you do. I was a broken man, and you fixed me. And I swear, by the name of Dyl Shutup, that I will come through and win!''

Damien started to cry. Spense, walking arm-in-arm with Julie, looked back at him. “We shouldn’t have done that to him,” he said, “I thought I was above that level.”

“Spense, like I always say,” said Julie, “If you don’t like where you’re going, stop and take another path.”

“No matter what path I take,” said Spense, “At this point, if I’m not the next one out, somebody I care for will be eliminated instead. We’re down to the wire in this game, and now,” Spense hesitated, thinking of how to say it, “And now, every move is going to hurt. I wish it weren’t this way.”

“Spense,” said Julie, “I guess you’re right. We’ve reached that point. But just to let you know, At least I’ll always be there, by your side. I promise.”

Spense smiled. “And I promise the same thing.”They kissed.

Meanwhile, Tyler and Maya walked beside each other back to camp.

“Hey Maya,” said Tyler, “What do you suppose the next challenge is?”

“I don’t know,” said Maya, “Hopefully something fun, that doesn’t involve paintballs.”

“Agreed,” said Tyler. Their hands moved closer together, almost automatically, until they touched. Tyler looked at Maya, and she looked back. They smiled, lost in this moment...

Craig had been sneaking up behind them, ready to strike. When Tyler and Maya became lost in each other’s eyes, he leaped in front of them and started mocking them.

“Maya and Tyler, sittin’ in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G!!” Craig laughed. “First comes –“

Craig fell to the ground, out like a light. Tyler, with his fist out from the punch, smiled. He turned to Maya. “I’ll meet you in the woods tomorrow, before brecky,” he said. Maya nodded.

“See you then,” she said, and went to her cabin. “Wow...” Tyler sighed happily, and went back to his cabin.

''I think love is in the air for Tyler!  Said Spense in the confessional, Good for him! ''

Damien walked by Craig and looked down at him on the ground like that. “Fail,” he said, and headed back to his cabin.
