Secret

=== Chapter One: New Rules ===
It's dark outside, nothing can be heard and it seems like everyone is staying at their houses. Majority of the people in the town Bellody are staying inside their houses because tomorrow's it's exactly five years since the last killing spree occured. Normally there'd be children running around, having fun, with their parents yelling at them to come inside. But nothing happens outside.
At the house of teenager Paisley Cooper, the lights are turned on as she and her bestfriend Cleo Roberts arrive home. The two girls look exhausted, probably because they just had hockey practice.
Cleo: My arms are literally burning, I'm not kidding.
Paisley: Tell me about it. But that's the price we pay.
While Paisley grabs something to drink, Cleo drops herself on the couch. She turns the television on. Outside, it starts to slowly rain.
Paisley: Alright so, I was thinking. Let's watch a movie. But a good one. I don't want to watch another Happy Death Day parody movie again.
Cleo: I'll check.
Cleo opens the Netflix app on the television and scrolls down. She looks at the comedy section of movies.
Cleo: Life As A Clown?
Paisley: Please. Comedy movies are one of my pet peeves.
Paisley walks towards Cloe with two drinks, handing over one towards her.
Cleo: A fantasy movie?
Paisley: Boooo-ring.
Cleo sighs.
Cleo: This won't work. I'm gonna hit the random button.
As she clicks on it, Netflix automatically chooses another comedy movie, causing Cleo and Paisley to hysterically laugh.
Cleo: IT IS MEANT TO BE!
Paisley: OH MY GOD!
Cleo then returns to the home page and notices at recommended that the Bellody murder documentary is number one watched today.
Cleo: Oh?
Paisley: I've watched that one multiple times already. I get the creeps of it.
Cleo: Those are the murders that happened exactly five years ago right? The one where the killer calls their victims first?
Paisley: Mhm.
Cleo: That's why it's on number one, probably. Everyone's watching it back. Like a anniversary thing or something.
Paisley: Probably. But I've watched it too many times already. Just pick a random horror movie.
Cleo: You know I hate those.
Paisley grins and looks at Cleo.
Paisley: Cleo, I know you watched the new It. That's category comedy. That's no horror.
She then stands up.
Paisley: I'm gonna take a shower. You choose the movie. And grab some snacks, I got crips in the kitchen. And popcorn, if you want.
Cleo nods.
Cleo: Okay. When are you parents back home again?
Paisley: In like two weeks? Why?
Cleo: I - eh - I don't know.
Paisley shakes her head and then walks towards the staircase. Meanwhile, Cleo goes back to the homepage on Netflix and opens the documentary about the Bellody murders. As she reads the description, she receives an anonymous call. She decides to pick it up.
Cleo: Hello?
Anonymous: Hello.
Cleo immediately looks around.
Cleo: Who is this?
Anonymous: I'm the last person you'll ever talk to.
As soon as the anonymous caller tells her this, Cleo starts to sweat.
Cleo: Please. No. I eh -
Paisley: Ahahahaha I got you! You're so easy to be fooled.
Cleo: You fucking bitch.
Cleo then immediately ends the call and shakes her head. She then gets another call, which she picks up.
Cleo: Paisley, fuck off or I'm going home.
Anonymous: Are you sure you wanna go home?
Cleo: You're mean. You know I don't like this scary shit and then you're pulling a mean joke.
Anonymous: Don't you like a good joke?
Cleo: I do, but these are rubbish.
Anonymous: What do you think of this joke. You're gonna get killed tonight.
Cleo rolls her eyes.
Cleo: Get lost, Paisley.
Ghostface: I'm not fucking Paisley!
Right at that moment, the lights turn off as Cleo starts looking around her.
Cleo: You're ... not?
Cleo quickly runs towards the hall and hears Paisley singing under the shower. She then walks back to the livingroom. She notices that the Bellody murders documentary is playing, which she didn't start.
Cleo: Are you in the house?
Ghostface: Maybe I am. From now on, I'll be asking the questions. My first question is; how do you want to die?
Cleo: I don't want to die.
Ghostface: Second question. When do you want to die?
Cleo: No... never!
Ghostface: Last question... are you ready to die?
Cleo: I'm leaving.
While Cleo starts grabbing her stuff, Paisley finishes showering as she hears a loud scream coming from downstairs. Paisley grins.
Paisley: Nice try, Cleo! I have experience with pranks like these. You won't fool me that easily!
Paisley turns on her pyjamas and after brushing her hair, she walks downstairs. She walks towards the dark livingroom, with the Bellody murders playing on Netflix. Paisley starts to frown.
Paisley: Cleo?
As she turns, she notices someone lying in the kitchen. As Paisley turns on the lights of the kitchen, she notices the dead body of Cleo.
Paisley: CLEO!
Paisley's phone rings and she notices that an anonymous caller tries to call her. She picks up the phone.
Paisley: Y-y-yes?
Ghostface: Good evening, Paisley. Are you happy your friend has shut up now?
Paisley: Who the fuck are you?
Ghostface: I'm someone you do not want to have in your house. When I smell blood, I get real touchy. And when I get touchy, I wanna slam my knife through something or someone.
Paisley: I'm calling the cops.
Ghostface: You can call the cops, but they won't be here on time. Let's play a game instead. If you answer correctly, you'll get to live. If you answer incorrect, I get to slice you from the bottom 'til the top.
Without giving Paisley any time to respond, ghostface continues.
Ghostface: Where am I?
Paisley: I don't know...
While Paisley starts to tear up, ghostface laughs.
Ghostface: I'm right behind you.
Right at that moment, the door of the kitchen gets opened and ghostface makes their first appearance. Paisley immediately runs away, quickly heading upstairs as ghostface keeps chasing her. Paisley screams for help and cries.
She reaches her bedroom, opening the window. As she looks behind her, ghostface slams their knife through Paisley's back, causing Paisley to fall out of the window. With a smack, Paisley lands on the ground, looking dizzy. She sees the frontdoor opened by ghostface, having them slowly walk towards Paisley. As they move over her body, Paisley looks at ghostface.
Paisley: I - No -
But before Paisley can even finish her sentence, she screams for one last time as ghostface slams their knife into Paisley's heart, killing her.
=== Chapter Two: The Next Generation ===
It's the next day, exactly five years since the last murder spree happened in Bellody. It's the last week before graduation happens, and some final papers need to be assigned at Bellody High for the students. Amber-Lynn Dolan wakes up and walks out of her bed as she notices someone slamming on her door.
She quickly walks downstairs and opens the door. She comes eye to eye with Roxy Blake, her bestfriend. She walks in and drops herself on the couch.
Roxy: Lemme guess. Parents are out of town?
Amber-Lynn: For at least a month. They left yesterday.
Roxy: Nice. Aw they'll miss out the dramatic national Bellody Blood day.
Roxy acts like she's about to die which causes Amber-Lynn to laugh.
Amber-Lynn: I gotta go, though. Final papers to sign before I graduate.
Roxy: Thanks for rubbing that into my pour soul that I have to redo my year. Real nice, Amby.
Amber-Lynn grins as someone rings the doorbell. She heads towards the door, letting Samantha Garcia in. She looks as stylish as always.
Roxy: God almighty, what prey are you trying to catch today?
Samantha: Oh Roxy please. Amber, are you ready?
Amber-Lynn nods while Roxy walks towards the front-door.
Roxy: Let me drive y'all. It'd be my pleasure.
Samantha: Last time you drove us we almost hit a cat and almost crashed.
Roxy grabs a cigarette and lights it, smoking it.
Roxy: Girl please that's unfair. Point one, I was high. Point two, I'm always driving safely. Point three, go back to point two.
Amber-Lynn: I don't care. As long as we just go now.
The three girls head inside Roxy's car as she's driving.
Roxy: Yeehaw, here we go ladies!
Roxy drives insanely fast. While Amber-Lynn feels awkward to say anything, Samantha sighs.
Samantha: Girl you're getting on my nerves.
Nothing influences Roxy as she keeps driving.
Samantha: The cops. THE COPS!
Roxy immediately presses the brake, causing Amber-Lynn and Samantha to almost throw up. A police officer walks towards Roxy's car.
Roxy: Yes, officer Jarvis?
Tony: Roxy, this is the fourth time I have to give you a fine for driving too fast. One more time and I need to get your license.
Roxy: If I promise you that I'll drive safe and nice forever and ever now, can you please forget this happened. Pleaseeeee.
Tony's well-known smile on his face shows that he'll go with it.
Tony: Final warning.
Right at that moment, Tony gets a call on his walkie talkie, having him looking very nervous. He quickly runs away, causing Roxy to frown. As this happens, a guy opens the door and decides to sit next to Samantha at the backseat. It's Theodore Clark, the best friend of the three girls.
Samantha: Theo!
Roxy now starts driving.
Theodore: Girls, how are you still being so calm?
Amber-Lynn: We know Roxy's driving style, we're used to it.
Theodore: Uh no, you dummy. About Cleo and Paisley? They're dead. Killed. Brutually killed.
Roxy now arrives at the school. Everywhere are ghostface masks. On the street lights, trashcans, buildings, on the street and ground, they are everywhere. Roxy stops driving and looks at Theodore.
Roxy: Killed?
Theodore: Haven't you watched Newtoday ten minutes ago?
Samantha and Amber-Lynn are immediately checking their phones.
Roxy: Uh no, I don't look at my phone while I'm driving. Like I said, I'm a safe driver.
Samantha: Oh my god. I'm reading it right now. Cleo Roberts and Paisley Cooper have been murdered. A ghostface mask was found on one of the girls' bodies. Their families have been informed now. Rumors go that this has something to do with the 5 year anniversary of the last killing spree in Bellody.
Amber-Lynn and Roxy look towards each other, as Amber-Lynn shows the news message towards Roxy.
Theodore: I honestly don't know what to do now. I'm shocked, girls. I am literally in shock.
Amber-Lynn: This is terrible.
While Roxy, Samantha and Theodore walk out of the car, discussing the incident, Amber-Lynn stares through the window, feeling awful about what just happened. Roxy opens the car door on Amber-Lynn's side.
Roxy: Are you coming?
Amber-Lynn: Yes.
The two girls now follow Samantha and Theodore. They walk towards all other students. A guy with halflong black hair walks towards the group. His name is Seamus Thomas.
Seamus: The killings, they have been awful. Everyone's talking about it.
Roxy: Yeah no did you expect them to talk about the new Katy Perry song?
Seamus: Roxy. Interesting. What are you doing here? From what I remember, you don't have to sign papers because you didn't pass the exams.
Roxy: And from what I remember, you still wear a diaper.
Seamus glares towards Roxy and as soon as he notices Samantha, he starts to drool.
Seamus: Sam-Sam-Saman-
Roxy: Yeah, that's been enough traumas for today. Girls, I'm going back home.
Amber-Lynn and Samantha immediately look at Roxy.
Amber-Lynn: But what about our drive back home?
Kelsey: I'll drive you.
Kelsey Walker joined the group as she hugs her friends.
Kelsey: Terrible news, huh.
Samantha: I know. I don't even know what to think of it.
While Kelsey and Samantha start talking, Amber-Lynn looks a bit daydreamy as a guy walks towards her. She quickly looks up.
Amber-Lynn: Hi?
Avan: Avan. Hello. Avan Harris.
Amber-Lynn: Amber-Lynn, you can just call me Amber if you want.
Avan: Such a cute name. Why are you here?
Amber-Lynn frowns.
Amber-Lynn: To sign my final papers for graduation next week. Why are you here?
Avan: I - eh - I just walked and I passed this school and I saw you and I just wanted to hit you up.
Avan quickly grabs a note out of pocket, writes his phone number on it and then gives it to Amber-Lynn.
Avan: Call me sometime.
As Avan walks away, Amber-Lynn looks at the note. She then looks towards Samantha and Kelsey.
Kelsey: Yeah and the killer calls his victim first. That's creepy as hell.
Right at that moment, Amber-Lynn gets a call from an anymous person. She decides to reject the call and walk back towards the others, still not feeling comfortable.
=== Chapter Three: Crime Scene Investigation ===
At the Cooper house, where the two teenage girls got killed, the cops have arrived. Tony is among these people and quickly walks out of his car as the Sheriff stops him.
Sheriff Dwayne: Jarvis. Stop.
Tony looks behind him and quickly takes a few steps back.
Tony: Sheriff Dwayne?
Sheriff Dwayne: I won't make this your case. You're too much involved in this.
Tony: Shouldn't I be part of the investigation team then? As someone who has been part of these killings for not just one time but three times?
Sheriff Dwayne taps Tony on his shoulder.
Sheriff Dwayne: It won't happen, I'm sorry.
Tony shakes his head and sits on the ground as his colleagues walk inside the building one by one while the sheriff looks outside. As more cops arrive, the more press also follows.
Reporter: SHERIFF! TELL US IF THESE KILLINGS HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE BELLODY MURDERS FROM FIVE YEARS AGO?
Press: Is it true the killings are happening again?
Some press notice Tony sitting, immediately running towards him.
Reporter: Tony! How does it feel to be part of the murders again but now as a cop?
Tony: I'm not part of the murders.
The sheriff walks towards them.
Sheriff Dwayne: There is absolutely no one we'll talk to. Absolutely no one.
But right at that moment, a woman can be heard shouting through the press and reporters. A woman who's wearing all red. Tony immediately recognizes the voice. It's Vanessa.
Vanessa: Move your ass, Debbie. And you too Ronald, focus on your stories about drunk addicts.
As Vanessa arrives at the sheriff and Tony, she nods towards them.
Tony: Vanessa -
Sheriff Dwayne: Vanessa Farnsworth, with all respect, I do not -
Vanessa: Vanessa Farnsworth indeed. Writer of the Bellody murders trilogy, the owner of the documentary and all by all the person who has catched the killer three times before. I do not want to hear anything from you, move aside so I can invest the murder.
Sheriff Dwayne: Okay misses.
Tony looks stunned while Vanessa walks towards the house. Tony quickly runs to her and grabs her arm.
Tony: Uh hello? Vanessa?
Vanessa: Hi Tony.
Tony: How did you do that?
Vanessa grins.
Vanessa: You shouldn't let someone walk over you. He might wear a badge, but he hasn't beaten a serial killer three times yet.
As Vanessa winks, she goes inside. Tony feels like he has the right to do so to. He walks back towards the sheriff.
Tony: You know what. I have beaten the killer three times, I know these murders more than no one. I'm going to be focusing on this case.
Tony immediately walks back towards the Cooper house, while Sheriff Dwayne has a small grin on his face. Tony now moves inside and sees blood everywhere. Ghostface masks are laying on the ground. The bodies have already been moved away. Tony walks towards Vanessa, who's writing everything on her notebook.
Tony: Are you writing another book?
Vanessa: Maybe. I'm just making notes. I need to assess this situation and know where to work from next.
Tony grabs Vanessa's notebook.
Tony: The only person that will work on this case is me.
Vanessa grabs her notebook back.
Vanessa: Oh yeah? Five minutes ago you were sitting on the ground like a sour child and now you're trying to dictate me? You haven't changed, did you?
Tony: And you haven't either! Ever since the last killings, you focused on that stupid book of yours and all you care about is making money. You stink.
Vanessa claps in her hands.
Vanessa: Thanks for that. Should I remind you that you were the one leaving to continue your study and training to be a police officer and totally forgetting me? I haven't received a single call from you.
Tony: That's not my problem. I had goals in my life, you just write a book and try to get money with it.
Vanessa shakes her head.
Vanessa: You are pathetic. I'm going to focus on the killings now.
Tony: No you won't. This is getting too dangerous.
Vanessa: Dangerous? You, me and Laura have been through everything so far. We have solved the murders together. Three times. We are a team.
Tony: No. Laura is completely out of this, you are out of this too. Don't get yourself into any danger. Me and our team will focus on this. I'll make notes and you can use those for your book.
Vanessa cackles.
Vanessa: Are you mad that you haven't received credit for your work? Because if that's the case, we can just -
Tony: No! Stop it!
Vanessa: Fine. I'll do this for myself then.
Tony grabs Vanessa's arms.
Tony: Look around you. The killer isn't kidding around. This is happening exactly five years ago after Margaret got killed. There's a pattern. Stay out of this.
Vanessa: After so many years, I thought you knew me. But apparently you didn't. I'll always be a part of this, whether I investigate this or not. Final chance. Are we a team?
Tony: I'm sorry...
Vanessa: Then it's time for me to investigate this murder on my own. Goodluck.
Vanessa puts her notebook in her bag and leaves the crime scene as Tony looks after her. He has a feeling of regret but in order to keep Vanessa safe, she needs to stay out of this and be protected.
=== Chapter Four: The Reunion ===
At the central park of Bellody, many people arrived to commemorate the victims of the Bellody murders. Among those are Allen and Selene, who have survived the last killing spree. Some news reporters are standing around the park.
News Reporter: The ceremony will start in just a few minutes. With the new killings happening, the ceremony has turned into a new twist and -
A car stops in front of the park. No other than Laura Cabbage walks out of the car, causing everyone to heavily scream.
News Reporter: Exactly five years since the murders, Laura Cabbage arrives back to her hometown right as the killings are happening again.
Laura ignores all the reporters and walks towards the crowd, kneeling to put some flowers on her mother's gravestone. Vanessa and Tony also arrive and quickly meet up with Laura.
Tony: Laura, good to see you.
Laura: Hey guys, it's been some time. We should catch up after the ceremony.
Vanessa: We need to catch up now, though. The killer is back.
Laura frowns as the ceremony starts. Some people are speaking, with Laura finishing the ceremony. She walks towards the stage and looks around her. She notices that everything is full of ghostface masks.
Laura: If I have learnt one thing after the murders, it is that you can survive past trauma. I might be standing here in front of you all as some sort of hero or legend, but I wish I was like you all. To have never lived in fear of being killed by someone you thought was dear to you, or having lost people because of you existing. I always saw myself as the victim but now that I have grown, I can say that I am a survivor and I will carry on for those who have died during the murders. Thank you.
Everyone heavily claps for Laura. She steps off stage and while Vanessa and Tony try to talk to Laura, media and press quickly form around her.
Press: Laura, how do you feel to be here after such a long time?
News Reporter: Are you up to date with the most recent kills exactly five years after the killings happened?
Vanessa sighs and pushes some reporters away, grabbing a microphone of one of the media press.
Vanessa: Fuck you all, Laura has no time to talk. Better luck next time.
She drops the microphone and grabs Laura's arm softly, walking away with her and Tony.
They walk towards a café in the city, ordering three coffees and sit at a table.
Laura: So what's the deal about the recent kills?
Tony: Two teenagers have been killed in their house last night. Based on a test, they were killed past midnight which means they were killed exactly five years since ... your mother ... died.
Laura looks from Tony to Vanessa.
Laura: And they're sure the kills are related to the Bellody murders?
Tony: We found ghostface masks all around the room where they were found and the Bellody documentary was played on the television.
Laura sighs, standing up as soon as the waiter arrives with their drinks. Laura scratches her head.
Laura: We need to do something. If history repeats itself it means innocent people are going to die.
Tony: Yeah...
Vanessa raises an eyebrow.
Vanessa: Weren't we suppossed to "leave it to the cops"?
Tony: Yes, you should but -
Laura: We need to make a plan. I also need a house to stay at here in Bellody. Any of you have room for me?
Tony stands up while Vanessa starts drinking her coffee. Tony puts his hands on Laura's shoulders as he looks worried.
Tony: Sorry Laura, but I don't want you to be in any trouble. Same for Vanessa. You should go back to your house in that small town you live in.
Laura grins while Vanessa walks towards Laura and hands over her coffee.
Vanessa: I told him already, he's being ridiculous. As if.
Laura: Tony, if there's anyone who knows how to deal with this, it's us. I want to come into contact with the people involved in this. The friends of the murdered victims.
Vanessa: And I'm going to return to the Cooper house to see if I can find any more clues.
Tony rolls his eyes.
Tony: I want to say something but I guess you both won't listen.
Laura and Vanessa look at him as they both take a sip of their coffee. Tony hears one of his colleagues talk on the walkie talkie, causing Tony to immediately leave. The two women then sit again.
Laura: You two aren't a couple?
Vanessa: Nope. This is the first time we have spoken each other since the killings.
Laura: But why? You two obviously love each other. Why are you two being so stubborn.
Vanessa shrugs.
Vanessa: He went to the police academy and I locked myself into my house to write. I guess it's not meant to be.
Laura: Bullshit.
Vanessa: How's stuff with you and Max? You still having fun in Croylon? The "small town" as Tony says.
Laura: Quiet. But it's alright. Vanessa, I loved to catch up but I wanna do something. I wanna go to Bellody High and talk to the students. I want to make sure they're safe.
Vanessa nods.
Vanessa: I first have to update my team on the recent killings and then I'm returning to the Cooper house.
Laura: Be safe, alright?
The two women hug each other as they finish their coffee and leave the café.
=== Chapter Five: The Mystery Starts ===
At Amber-Lynn's house, she, Roxy, Samantha and Theodore are sitting together. They're still talking about the recent murders of their classmates Paisley Cooper and Cleo Roberts. Samantha starts to think something might be off.
Samantha: Why is this happening one week before we graduate? Like why now? Is it because the killer doesn't want us to graduate?
Roxy: No. Hell, that'd make me look suspicious as the only one who didn't graduate. Also, remember that it was the 5 year anniversary of the Bellody killings today. It has something to do with that I'm sure of.
Samantha: Looks to easy to me.
Roxy: Do you EVER watch horror movies? It has everything to do with it. It's a simple but working storyline for the killer.
Samantha starts to look a bit uncomfortable.
Samantha: Are you sure you're not spending too much time with Seamus?
Theodore: I want some pizza and I'm gonna order those! Who wants pizza?
Roxy: Me!
Samantha: Me too.
Roxy then looks at Amber-Lynn, who looks very down. Roxy pokes her.
Roxy: Hey are you alright?
Amber-Lynn: I'm fine, don't worry about me. I don't want pizza, thanks.
Amber-Lynn steps up, walking towards the kitchen to grab a apple. As Theodore starts to call for a pizza, Amber-Lynn gets a call. Roxy picks it up as it's laying on the couch they were sitting on.
Roxy: This is Amber-Lynn's personal bodyguard, what do you want?
Anonymous: I want to talk to Amber-Lynn.
Roxy: Jeez man, have you ever thought of sympathy? Socialism?
Anonymous: Give her the fucking phone.
Roxy: Don't get an attitude with me.
Roxy then walks towards Amber-Lynn, giving her the phone.
Roxy: It's for you.
Amber-Lynn puts the phone next to her ear.
Amber-Lynn: Hello?
Anymous: Hello, Amber-Lynn. Are you alone?
Amber-Lynn: No I'm not, why?
Anonymous: Go upstairs. There's a surprise waiting for you.
Amber-Lynn looks worried towards her friends, however, they're too busy with Theodore who's calling for pizzas. Amber-Lynn can barely hear the person on the phone and decides to walk towards the hall.
Amber-Lynn: Why do you want me to go upstairs?
Anonymous: So we can talk.
Amber-Lynn: Alright, I'm upstairs.
The anonymous caller starts to laugh.
Ghostface: I don't like it when I'm being lied to...
Right at that moment, Roxy arrives.
Roxy: Are you alright?
Amber-Lynn quickly puts the phone on mute.
Amber-Lynn: It's ghostface. He wants me to go upstairs.
Roxy quickly turns herself and signs towards the other two to come.
Roxy: Ghostface is calling. We need to go upstairs.
The four then quickly go upstairs. As they reach Amber-Lynn's room, they find a note that says You're Next. Roxy then grabs Amber-Lynn's phone and starts pressing some buttons.
Amber-Lynn: What are you doing?
Roxy: Finding out who's calling you.
Roxy then presses the final button which shows a telephone number. Roxy signs towards Samantha to show her contact-list.
Roxy: 68 on the end.
Samantha scrolls through her list and then looks stunned.
Samantha: Starting with 49? That's Seamus.
Roxy then checks the numbers and unmutes the call.
Roxy: Seamus you fucker, are you behind this shit?
The call gets ended immediately. Roxy gives Amber-Lynn the phone.
Theodore: Check mate!
Amber-Lynn: Is he the killer?
Roxy: I don't know but we're gonna find out now. Let's go to his house.
Right at that moment, the doorbell rings. Amber-Lynn and Samantha get scared while Theodore screams. Roxy immediately walks downstairs.
Amber-Lynn: Wait... maybe it's the killer.
Theodore: It's probably our pizza.
Roxy shrugs and decides to open the door. Everyone looks surprised as they come eye to eye with Laura Cabbage.
Samantha: Oh my god.
Laura: Evening, sorry to interrupt. May I come in?
Roxy: Yes yes, come in.
Laura shakes the hands of Roxy, Samantha and Theodore. Amber-Lynn looks starstruck and then shakes the hand of Laura. Laura looks towards her, smiling.
Laura: You look very stressed. Is everything alright?
Roxy: She just got called by ghostface and she got this note on her bed.
Roxy gives Laura the note that says You're Next which brings Laura back to the start of the killings when she received the same note. Laura sits down, looking at Amber-Lynn.
Amber-Lynn: What's wrong?
Laura: Nothing, it's just - this reminds me of when the killings started for me. I received the very same note and got a call from ghostface before it.
Roxy: Do you think the killer is recreating the system?
Laura: I'm not sure, but after seeing this it might make sense. Was anyone else called?
Theodore: I don't think so.
Samantha and Roxy shake their heads.
Laura: Do you have any idea who the killer could be? Someone who disliked the two girls that got murdered?
Samantha: I was thinking of someone who didn't want us to graduate because we will in just one week.
Roxy punches Samantha's arm.
Roxy: Shut it!
Laura looks confused towards the two girls.
Roxy: I'm the only one who isn't graduating so that theory makes me look super suspicious.
Laura: Honestly, I feel like it's gotta do something with the five year anniversary of the killings.
The doorbell rings again, with Amber-Lynn opening it this time. The pizzas are delivered. Laura looks at those.
Roxy: You wanna join?
Laura: No thanks, I just wanted to check on you guys. Stay together and don't split. It's important that you have at least two other people around you.
Amber-Lynn: Thanks for your advice.
Laura: No worries.
Laura stands up, waving at the group as she leaves. Everyone looks towards each other.
Roxy: We just met a legend...
Theodore: Yeah a legend that will cause us to die.
Amber-Lynn and Samantha start eating their pizza while Roxy looks surprised.
Roxy: Why? Do you think she's actually the killer?
Theodore: Every time a person dies, it's because she's close to them or she at least met them. Now we're going to be doomed.
Amber-Lynn closes the pizza box and throws it away.
Amber-Lynn: Can we please stop talking about this now.
Samantha and Theodore look overwhelmed towards Amber-Lynn while Roxy tries to calm her.
Amber-Lynn: I already feel terrible that Paisley and Cleo are dead and now we're acting like this is a game of Clue.
Samantha: You got a point.
Roxy: Alright, let's leave it like this then. Sorry to make you upset.
Amber-Lynn decides to go to her bed, with Roxy following her. Theodore and Samantha grab their pizzas and leave the house together.
=== Chapter Six: An Uninvited Guest ===
It's dark outside, it's starting to get cold and people head into their houses. Vanessa steps out of her car at the Cooper house and holds two cameras in her hand. She quickly walks towards the Cooper house and as she arrives inside, she puts the lights on. She places one camera in the livingroom and the other one in the kitchen. She then grabs her phone and presses the microphone on.
Vanessa: Vanessa Farnsworth on the Cooper house location here. As I'm stepping more inside the house, I'm getting the cold feeling of danger. I feel the tension that has been felt by the victims of last night's murder.
Vanessa starts to look around for clues. She notices that a knife is missing from the kitchen and a mirror is broken. As she keeps walking around, she decides to go upstairs.
Vanessa: Walking upstairs to see if there are any clues here. The killer might have hide themselves here before attacking the girls.
She arrives at the bedrooms and then at the bathroom. Paisley's underwear is still laying on the ground, since she didn't have time to clean it.
Vanessa: Seems like one of the victims took a shower before they got killed. That means that the two victims were separated when they got killed. Girl in the livingroom dies, girl in the bathroom hears something, rushes downstairs and gets killed too. So the killer must have been downstairs.
She then walks back downstairs and arrives in a dark livingroom. Vanessa frowns since she turned on the lights when she left. She once again turns on the lights and notices that her cameras are missing.
Vanessa: A very strange situation happening here. Cameras are gone, lights have been turned off. There might be someone in the house.
Vanessa closes her microphone and decides to leave the house. As she reaches the front-door, she notices it's closed and locked. Vanessa kicks it but nothing works. She then gets a call. She picks it up.
Vanessa: Hello?
Anymous: Are you having fun talking to yourself, Vanessa?
Vanessa: Must talk to myself when I have no other company, right?
Anonymous: I'm not so sure about that, Vanessa.
Vanessa realizes she's on the phone with Ghostface, and they might be here in the house. She slowly walks towards the exits of the house but everything's closed and locked.
Vanessa: So, what's the deal?
Ghostface: Do you know what I hate, Vanessa?
Vanessa: Let me guess, pineapples on pizzas? Cold lasagne? The color green?
Ghostface: A trilogy that gets continued.
Vanessa: Oh?
Ghostface: There won't be a fourth book written by you, Vanessa.
Vanessa: And why are you so sure of that?
Ghostface: Because I will put my knife in your old sour titts, finishing you off like a gutted fish.
Vanessa: That's been told for a fourth time now. I don't have time for this.
Vanessa starts to grab something sharp, ready to break one of the windows to escape the house. As she has a knife in her hands, she hears some noises coming from above.
Ghostface: Do you think I'd win extra points if I kill off the writer of the books about the Bellody murders? Or should I start with the person that started it all, Laura?
Vanessa: You won't succeed.
Ghostface: Or what about the wannabe police officer Tony? He'll be the easiest to finish off.
Vanessa: What if you dream on with your creepy fantasy? I have had enough, goodbye.
Vanessa ends the call and as soon as she breaks the window, ghostface shows up in the livingroom. They turn off the lights so it's almost impossible for Vanessa to look.
They start chasing her, causing Vanessa to quickly run upstairs. She follows the same route Paisley did. Ghostface is very fast and even manages to cut Vanessa in her arm. Vanessa kicks ghostface away, allowing her some time to run back to the staircase, letting herself drop downstairs.
As fast as Vanessa tries to be, ghostface once again catches up on her, stabbing her in the back. Vanessa shouts out of pain, trying to reach the window she broke to escape. She moves her body through the hole, but gets dragged back by ghostface.
Vanessa now lays on the ground. Ghostface shows their knife towards Vanessa.
Vanessa: Kill me if you got the balls...
Ghostface slams their knife through Vanessa's shoulder, causing her to heavily scream. Right at that moment, the frontdoor gets kicked in and police officers run inside the house. Ghostface escapes. Among the officers, Tony runs inside. The lights are turned on and as soon as Tony notices Vanessa laying on the ground, he shouts in disbelief.
Tony: VANESSA!
Tony quickly kneels down and strokes Vanessa's hair. She looks very dizzy and in pain, but manages to speak.
Vanessa: The killer ... they're not like any other killers before.
Tony: Vanessa, don't talk. Keep your energy. An ambulance will be here soon. Trust me.
Vanessa: The victims ... they were ... killed separately ...
Tony strokes Vanessa's body. She looks like she'll survive her wounds.
Vanessa: You ... need to look out. They're ... after us too. My cameras ... are stolen. They are ... one step ... ahead of us.
Vanessa then closes her eyes, still breathing. The ambulance arrives, with the Sheriff.
Sheriff Dwayne: Vanessa was attacked?
Tony: Yes. I'm going to inform Laura right now.
Tony walks outside and as he's about to call Laura, he gets an incoming call.
Tony: Yes?
Ghostface: Is she dead?
Tony: No you motherfucker. You failed. You have absolutely failed!
Ghostface: We'll see who gets the last laugh. You think you're all tough now, do you? But wait until I get my hands dirty on you. Then we'll see who's tough. Until then, stay alert.
The call gets ended. Tony decides to immediately call Laura then.
Tony: Laura?
Laura: Tony?
Tony: Vanessa got attacked by ghostface.
Laura: Fuck. I'm on my way.
Tony: No. Let's meet at your place. Besides, the killer will stay in Bellody for sure. I meet you there.
=== Chapter Seven: A Strange Night ===
Tony is on his way to Laura's house in the town Croylon which is around 30 minutes away from Bellody. While driving, Tony can't think about anything besides Vanessa. He decides to call the hospital while driving.
Nurse: Good evening, Bellody Hospital. How can I help you?
Tony: Tony Jarvis, police officer. I'd like to know if Vanessa Farnsworth has arrived already?
Nurse: She has.
Tony: Is she doing okay?
Nurse: I can't tell too much but all I can say is that she arrived in good order.
Tony: Thanks. If there's any news on her situation, can you please update me?
Nurse: We'll see what we can do.
The call then gets ended and Tony has arrived at Croylon, walking towards the house of Laura and her partner. He rings the doorbell and after someone looked through the window, the door gets opened. It's Max Baker, the partner.
Max: You must be Tony, very nice to meet you.
Tony: Nice to meet you too.
Max: I just got home after a very long shift at my work. I heard something was wrong in Bellody again? Laura told me a bit.
Tony: Yeah the killings have started again. Where's Laura?
Laura: Here.
Laura arrives from the backyard and closes the door behind her. She puts down some drinks.
Laura: What happened?
Tony: Vanessa went to the Cooper house to investigate the situation there. And she actually found something interesting. But she was attacked by ghostface and I think that if we didn't arrive in time, she'd be dead by now.
Laura shakes her head in disbelief.
Laura: She went there all alone without any protection?
Tony: You know how she is like. She's now in the hospital.
Laura: I'm gonna visit her tomorrow. Anyways, you said she found something interesting?
Max looks at the two and feels kinda on the outs because of what Laura and Tony share. He decides to walk to the computer room and focus on some stuff there while the other two continue.
Tony: The girls were killed seperately and not together. Apparently one was taking a shower while the other girl got killed so the killer was downstairs when this happened. We now need to know how the killer got in and if they left any clues, but Vanessa couldn't finish that part.
Laura: The fact the killer was present there means they have something to do there? Do you think the killer lost something there? Something that could reveal them as the killer?
Tony: I'm not sure why the killer was at the Cooper house, but it's definitely fishy. It would make sense the killer tried to erase a clue to their identity but having Vanessa messing that up.
Laura: So that means the killer didn't intend to target Vanessa?
Tony is thinking and now realizes something.
Tony: Do you remember that waiter in the café. They heard our conversation. He knows Vanessa went to the Cooper house.
Laura: Normally I'd say that you're overreacting but it could be true.
Tony then gets a alert on his walkie talkie.
Tony: Someone got robbed at the city hall in Bellody. I need to go. I'll see you tomorrow.
Laura lets Tony out of her house and waves at him. As she closes the door, Max stands in the room and looks at her.
Max: I'm going to bed.
Laura: Alright, I'll join you.
Max leaves and goes upstairs without saying anything. Laura frowns and walks towards the table to pick up the used drinks, puts them in the trash can and then heads towards the television to turn it off. Before she does, she sees the news of Vanessa being attacked and seriously injured. Laura feels terrible and turns the television off.
She walks upstairs and heads towards her bathroom, ready to brush her teeth. As she does so, she looks at the mirror and sees ghostface standing in the hall behind her. Laura quickly turns herself and sees ghostface standing there. She then looks back at the mirror, noticing that they're gone now.
Laura quickly spits out the toothpaste and walks towards the bedroom. She sees Max laying in bed, looking at his phone.
Laura: Did you hear something?
Max: No?
Laura turns herself, looking in the two other rooms but it's empty. Laura feels like she's getting crazy again and decides to go to bed too. As she moves inside, Max looks at her.
Max: Everything alright babe?
Laura: I thought I just saw ghostface staring at me in the hall but I'm just overreacting probably.
Max: I understand that this is all coming super close towards you, especially because of your friend getting attacked. But trust me, you're safe here.
Laura hugs her partner.
Laura: Thanks, love. I'm so happy with you.
The two then hug each other and turn off the lights of the bedroom.
Meanwhile, Tony's driving back to Bellody as he gets another alert on his walkie talkie.
Tony: Jarvis.
Anonymous: Hello, Tony.
Tony: How did you get a walkie talkie?
Anonymous: Just a matter of time until you'll get a answer on your questions. Do you have any last words you want me to tell Vanessa when I visit her tonight?
Tony: You better fuck off. There are cops everywhere around her. You won't fuck with me.
Anonymous: Are you sure of that, officer Jarvis?
Tony ignores him and continues to drive.
Anonymous: Sweet dreams, Tony.
Tony closes his eyes for a brief moment, knowing that he just needs to ignore any stuff the anymous person tells him. It's always a trick. He needs to stand above that.
=== Chapter Eight: The Day After ===
It's early in the morning. The town Bellody is quiet ever since the anniversary of the killings and the recent killings. The attack of Vanessa is going around town too. Everyone seems to know about it, so does Farnsworth Company, a company owned by Vanessa. Vanessa's personal assistent, Jeanet Thompson, owns the building at the moment as Vanessa is laying in the hospital.
She's taking care of many phone calls and work currently.
Jeanet: Farnsworth Company. No, misses Farnsworth is still in the hospital ... No I'm not able to leave a message. Get a life.
Jeanet ends the call as another one pops up. She picks up and mutes it, looking very stressed. Many colleagues of her are walking around, calling with people who are concerned about Vanessa. A guy then arrives at the building. He walks towards Jeanet.
Liam: Liam Aleks, nice to meet you.
Jeanet: Uh hello?
Liam smiles awkwardly.
Liam: We had a appointment today. A job interview?
Jeanet sighs.
Jeanet: We're closed for the day. Sorry kid. The owner, Vanessa Farnsworth, was attacked by the Ghostface last night and so all appointments are cancelled.
Liam looks overwhelmed.
Liam: That's terrible. You know, I still work in a department store as a re-stocking manager but I feel like I could need -
Jeanet: Go home please Lennart.
Liam: It's Liam... when will we do the job interview then?
Jeanet slowly pushes Liam out of the office, shaking her head. Her phone then rings again.
Jeanet: LEAVE ME ALONE TODAY! FOR GOD SAKE!
At Amber-Lynn's house, she alongside Theodore, Roxy and Samantha are sitting in the livingroom as the news is turned on.
News Reporter: ... no suspect yet. Last night, writer of the Bellody murders and survivor of the killing sprees Vanessa Farnsworth was attacked last night. She's laying in the hospital and her situation is currently unknown. We're down turning to Sheriff Dwayne. Sheriff, do you have any lead?
Sheriff Dwayne: As of now, we don't. We're still in the middle of investigating and -
Amber-Lynn turns off the television, causing some reaction with Theodore and Roxy.
Theodore: What are you doing?!
Amber-Lynn: This all is making me sick to my stomach. The killings ... the cops, they're everywhere, the threatening calls. I'm over this and I want this to stop.
Samantha: I agree. We're just waiting for the next person to die basically. That's always how it goes.
The other three look at Samantha, shocked that she's familair with the system of the killer.
Samantha: What? I'm not just beauty. I'm the brains too.
Roxy: What do you mean with waiting for the next person to die, though?
Samantha: It's simple. First everyone around Laura dies and then she unmasks the killer and the story continues. It's getting a bit repetative, don't you think?
Theodore: Did you spell that -
Amber-Lynn: And that's why I'm staying here inside with all doors and windows locked.
The bell rings. Roxy stands up and decides to open the door, letting Seamus and Kelsey in.
Kelsey: There you are! Guys, you gotta see this.
Kelsey quickly walks towards the group, showing a message on her phone.
You won't feel anything when I cut your eyelids open, moving my knife all the way from your head to your toes. And when I've sliced you in half, I'll make thousand of little pieces of you.
As everyone has read the message, Amber-Lynn walks off with Samantha quickly following her.
Kelsey: Do you think the killer is coming after me next?
Roxy: I'm not a fortune-teller so I can't tell but it seems like it. Normally he calls though.
Roxy now notices Seamus.
Roxy: What are you doing here?
Seamus: Kelsey came to me first and I suggested to team up with the others.
Theodore: The more people we have, the better.
Amber-Lynn returns with Samantha, seemingly having cried.
Samantha: I think it's best if everyone leaves except for Roxy. This whole situation is tough for us all.
Theodore: Wait- I'm getting banished? What are you all on about?
Samantha walks towards Theodore and gives him the keys of her house.
Samantha: My parents are on vacation, stay there you three. It's just five streets away. If anything happens, you call us. If anything happens here, we'll call you. Sounds about right?
Kelsey blinks.
Kelsey: Why can't I just go back to my own house?
Roxy: Ding dong, goat. I don't know if you noticed but there's a serial killer around here that's out here to kill us?
Kelsey shrugs.
Kelsey: Fine.
Kelsey, Theodore and Seamus leave the house as Roxy, Samantha and Amber-Lynn stay there.
=== Chapter Nine: A Special Request ===
Tony arrives at the hospital, holding a big basket full of roses. He walks through many halls and he then arrives at the floor where Vanessa is laying. As he arrives, he notices Laura sitting next to Vanessa's bed. He smiles.
Tony: Hopefully I did not interrupt a conversation.
Laura smiles while Vanessa looks up.
Vanessa: Tony...
Laura then grabs her stuff and hugs Vanessa.
Laura: I've got something to do. Stay strong, I'll come back later.
She then takes Tony aside, starting to whisper.
Laura: You need to take care of her, okay? I'm going to visit the teenagers and see if I can get clues through them. I need to go to the house where the two girls got killed, since the killer left a clue there.
Tony: I don't think that's a smart idea. The killer wants you, they always want you. You should go to a safe house.
Laura smiles.
Laura: Never in a million years. There are innocent people targeted. I'm not scared for the killer, Tony. I'll see you later.
Tony: Stay safe.
Tony returns to Vanessa.
Vanessa: What is she going to do?
Tony: She's going to talk with the teenagers. Maybe she can find some sort of clue, hopefully. We have no lead currently. It's so hard this time.
Vanessa: The killer always left some sort of pattern, as if they wanted to be caught. There must be something in the house of Paisley and Cleo.
Tony signs that Vanessa needs to relax, stroking her head.
Tony: You need some rest. We'll take it from here.
Vanessa: But I want to help. 
Tony shakes his head. He then grabs his basket of roses and hands it over to Vanessa, who looks surprised.
Vanessa: These are beautiful.
He then moves his hand to his pocket and grabs a ring out of it. He kneels next to Vanessa's bed and looks her in the eyes.
Tony: Vanessa, after last night I realized something. We have had always something in common, we have had a relationship and have faught against a serial killer three times. Somehow we always end up moving away from each other... and last night was almost fatal. I don't want to lose you, not for a day, minute or second anymore. I want to stick with you 'till the end ... Vanessa ... will you marry me?
Vanessa has tears in her eyes. She nods, putting the ring on. She kisses Tony.
Vanessa: Yes! Fucking yes! I thought you'd never ask me.
Tony smiles and hugs Vanessa.
Tony: Ever since dating Angelina, I felt like no one or nothing could compare to you, even though Angelina was an amazing human being.
Vanessa: Yes she was.
Tony: So, you now agree with me that you focus on recovering and I focus on catching this motherfucker who did this to you?
Vanessa: Hell yes.
Laura arrives at the house where Paisley and Cleo got killed. As it's still day, it looks less creepy. Laura steps inside and walks towards the kitchen. She keeps looking around and puts her phone on the table, dialing 911 already in case it's needed. Laura then looks around her and notices that there are cameras placed all around the room. She quickly grabs her phone and calls Tony.
Tony: Hey Laura, you're fine?
Laura: Hi, can you hand over the phone to Vanessa please? I need to ask her something.
Laura steps around as she's slowly feeling uncomfortable. She then hears Vanessa.
Vanessa: What's wrong?
Laura: How many cameras did you place in the house?
Vanessa: Two.
Laura then notices that there are only two cameras that were put down, the other cameras are installed and was probably done by the owners of the house. She seems relieved.
Laura: Alright, then that's good.
Vanessa: Why?
Laura: There are two cameras placed here.
Vanessa: The killer took the cameras before they attacked me though...
Laura now looks a bit frustrated around her.
Laura: Wait, so the killer took the cameras? But they're standing here.
Vanessa: Then you need to freaking leave that house right now!
Laura hangs up the call and as she's ready to leave the house, she gets a call. Laura grins and rejects the call. She now notices a note laying on the ground. She quickly grabs it and leaves the house. As she walks, she looks at her phone. It was Tony who called her. She calls him back.
Laura: Sorry for rejecting, I thought the killer was calling me.
Tony: Are you out of the house?
Laura: I am, don't worry. I found a note. I'm gonna open it now.
Laura opens it, finding a picture of one of the teenagers. It's Amber-Lynn, with blood on the picture.
Laura: It's a picture of one of the teenagers, Tony. It's a clue. They're targeting her. I need to go to them and see who could be doing this.
Tony: Please stay safe, Laura.
=== Chapter Ten: Who's Behind The Mask ===
Roxy and Samantha are playing card games in the house while Amber-Lynn walks in the garden. It's slowly getting darker as the evening falls. She looks at the sky, as someone moves closely towards her. Right at that moment, she gets an incoming call which she rejects. A person then arrives, happening to be Avan.
Avan: Sorry, didn't mean to scare you.
Amber-Lynn: It's fine. What are you doing here?
Avan: Ever since we spoke, I can't get you out of my head. I simply am not able to put you out of my thoughts.
Amber-Lynn: Listen, I don't want this. I'd like to get to know you after this stuff is done.
Avan: What stuff?
Amber-Lynn starts to frown.
Amber-Lynn: The killings in Bellody that are happening again?
Avan: Oh, I thought that was just a way of scaring people. But it's real? Alright, cool.
Amber-Lynn: Leave me the fuck alone.
As Avan leaves, Amber-Lynn notices Samantha standing behind the window.
Amber-Lynn: Why are you standing there instead of defending me?
Samantha: Sorry, I thought that was your new boyfriend or something. He's looking hot though.
Amber-Lynn: He's scary. I don't feel safe outside.
As Amber-Lynn turns herself, she screams as someone's standing right in front of her. It's Laura, though.
Amber-Lynn: O MY - I'm sorry!
Laura: It's fine, don't worry. Can I come in to talk?
Laura and Amber-Lynn go inside, causing surprised reactions from Samantha and Roxy.
Roxy: Well hello.
Laura: Hi, I wanted to talk with you about something. 
Laura grabs the note she found earlier, handing it over to Amber-Lynn. As she looks at it, she starts to look very scared. Roxy grabs the note then.
Roxy: Fuck.
Laura: Do you girls have any idea who could behind this?
Samantha nods towards Amber-Lynn.
Amber-Lynn: There's a guy who's stalking me. His name is Avan. He was just here. He thinks the killings are cool and he pretends to not know anything. I'm onto him.
Laura: Avan, you say. You got a lastname?
Amber-Lynn: No, I don't.
Roxy then gets a call from Theodore, walking away as Amber-Lynn and Laura continue to talk.
Laura: Look, I want to prevent that anyone dies. I feel like you're a target and after we spoke already, I see a lot of myself in you. I really needed someone that -
Amber-Lynn: Every person that's with you or around you dies! She told me that and I do not want to die.
She points towards Samantha, who starts to blush. Amber-Lynn looks super frustrated and walks upstairs. Samantha quickly follows her upstairs while Laura raises an eyebrow.
Roxy: No Theodore, please, I have other stuff to think about. Just make sure that you're all sticking together. Yes? Ok. Bye.
Roxy ends her call and smiles towards Laura.
Roxy: Always fun, over-dramatic friends.
Theodore, Kelsey and Seamus are all sitting together. Theodore is calling all of his friends, Seamus sits very uncomfortable and just looks at the television without blinking while Kelsey finishes another beer. She looks at it and sighs.
Kelsey: Theowheo you need to call that girlfriend of yours again and tell her she has too small bottles. I want a bigger bottle.
Kelsey, who happens to be a little tipsy, stands up and walks towards the cellar to get some more beer. As she kneels, she drops her phone. As it lays on the ground, it starts calling. She picks it up.
Kelsey: Hello?
Ghostface: Hello, Kelsey.
Kelsey puts the phone on speaker while she grabs some more beer.
Kelsey: Who are you?
Ghostface: I'm the person that'll make your life quicker.
Kelsey: I don't handle riddles that well. I want a name.
Ghostface: What's your favorite scary movie?
Kelsey: Hocus Pocus.
Ghostface: Don't fool me, because you'll regret it. I'll ask you this one more time. What's your favorite scary movie?
Kelsey: I don't like this conversation, bye.
Ghostface: Listen carefully, Kelsey. If you end this conversation, you won't see the sunlight anymore. You won't see your friends anymore. And you won't leave the cellar anymore, at least not alive.
Kelsey: How the fuck - 
Kelsey realizes that the person she's calling with knows where she is.
Kelsey: SEAMUS! THEOWHORE!
Kelsey quickly runs towards the door, trying to open it but it's locked. She hears ghostface laughing through the phone.
Ghostface: How does it feel to be alone? Now it's time for you to scream.
The lights are turned off and turned on after a few seconds. Kelsey slowly turns herself and sees Ghostface standing at the end of the cellar. They walk slowly towards her, showing their knife. Kelsey keeps trying to open the door, without any luck.
Kelsey: SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME! THE KILLER IS HERE! FUCKING SOMEONE COME HELP ME!
Kelsey turns herself one more time, having a knife slammed through her stomach by Ghostface as they're standing right in front of her. Kelsey slowly drops down, bleeding while Ghostface looks at her body.
=== Chapter Eleven: Blood Everywhere ===
In the livingroom of Samantha's house, Theodore is just by himself, calling with someone on the phone. The lights are turned off and Theodore starts to panic.
Theodore: Daisy, I'll call you back later.
Theodore quickly calls Roxy.
Theodore: Roxy?
Roxy: My blood is starting to boil Theo, one more call and then -
Theodore: He's in the house. I feel it.
Roxy: Who?
Theodore: The killer. Seamus is gone. Kelsey is gone. The lights are turned off.
While Theodore is sitting alone, Roxy and Laura look at each other as Roxy put the phone on speaker.
Laura: Where is he?
Roxy: Mancher Line 2, five streets away.
Laura: Keep him on the phone.
Laura walks towards the kitchen, grabbing a knife and leaves the house. Right at that moment, Samantha arrives and walks towards Roxy.
Roxy: Where's Amber?
Samantha: Taking a shower, she's feeling terrible. Where's the murder magnet?
Roxy: What a shitty nickname. Laura's heading towards Theo, I got him on the phone. Kelsey and Seamus are missing and apparently someone turned off the lights.
Samantha: What the -
Samantha now gets a call from a anonymous person.
Samantha: Hello?
Ghostface: Where's Amber-Lynn?
Samantha: None of your business.
Ghostface: I know where she is.
Samantha looks at Roxy, while Roxy looks at her. Theodore screams through the phone.
Theodore: HELP!
Without thinking, Samantha and Roxy rush towards Samantha's house, meanwhile there Ghostface has showed up, starting to attack Theodore. Theodore runs as fast as he can through the house, reaching the bedroom. It's a dead-end as Theodore can't escape. Ghostface rushes towards Theodore, stabbing him in his neck. Theodore screams out of pain.
Samantha and Roxy just left the house as Samantha realizes that Amber-Lynn is alone.
Samantha: What about Amber?
Roxy: The killer is at your house, Amber-Lynn's safe. Start calling Kelsey and Seamus. I'll call the cops.
Back to the house of Samantha, Laura arrives and notices that the lights are turned on. She kicks the door open and rushes through the house, looking around.
Laura: Theodore? Theodore!
She hears Theodore scream, but has no idea where it comes from. She quickly runs upstairs and as she reaches the hall, she notices that a door is moving. She slowly walks towards the bedroom and sees the dead corpse of Theodore laying on Samantha's bed, with the room full of blood. Laura closes her eyes.
Knowing that the killer must be here, she looks around but she can't find anything. She hears voices from downstairs. She quickly rushes towards there.
Laura: Stay there. We need to wait for the cops.
Samantha: Is ... is he dead?
Roxy finishes her call.
Roxy: Seamus went to his own house, Amber-Lynn is done showering. They're on their way. Where are Theo and Kelsey?
Laura is about to speak as the cops arrive. Tony is among them, quickly walking towards Laura.
Tony: Laura, what happened?
Laura: Go upstairs. It's terrible.
While Tony and some cops walk upstairs, the sheriff walks towards Laura. Roxy and Samantha head outisde where they meet up with Seamus and Amber-Lynn. Seamus grabs Amber-Lynn's hair and smells her weat hair.
Seamus: Coconut and rosemary.
Amber-Lynn: Don't touch me.
Avan: Yes don't touch her.
Everyone looks surprised as Avan arrives.
Out of nowhere, a second corpse is thrown away from the roof of Samantha's house, having the corpse making a gigantic smack on the ground. Everyone starts to heavily scream, causing the sheriff, Laura, Tony and the cops to run outside, looking at the second corpse which happens to be Kelsey Walker.
=== Chapter Twelve: Welcome Back, Laura ===
Cops, media press, news reporters, villagers, it's full of people outside Samantha's house. Two people were murdered in the house. Laura walks out of the house and looks at everyone.
Villager: FUCK OFF LAURA!
News Reporter: How does it feel to be responsible of two more innocent killings, Laura?
Tony steps through the crowd.
Tony: This is a official warning! Laura is NOT responsible for the murders of Theodore Clark and Kelsey Walker. Leave her alone!
Another villager: You're just backing her up because you two have been butt-buddies for ever! TIME TO BOYCOTT OFFICER JARVIS!
Media Press: Laura! Laura!
Laura walks off. Tony tries to follow her but there's no way he can catch her up because of the crowd. Laura steps into her car and decides to drive back home. As she's driving, she keeps thinking of how people died because of her and how hard she's trying to save people.
She arrives home, opening the door. She sees her partner, Max, sitting on the couch with a guy. It's Liam Aleks, the guy who tried to get a job at Farnsworth Company. Laura nods towards him.
Liam: Hello Laura, it's an honor to meet you.
Max: This is Liam, a friend of High School. He's currently making his way to the top. We used to play basketball together.
Liam: I'd still play basketball if I had the time.
Laura smiles.
Laura: I'm very tired, I'm going upstairs. I talk to you tomorrow. Goodnight.
Laura then leaves upstairs. Liam looks at Max.
Liam: So that woman totally shut me off like I was dirt. It was kind of annoying. But yeah, it happens. I gotta go.
Max: That was quick.
Liam: I realized I had to do some stuff. We'll talk later.
Liam rushes out of the house, causing Max to looks a bit confused.
Meanwhile, Laura reaches her bedroom and drops herself on her bed. She keeps hearing all the people shouting at her. Everyone seemed to be mad at her, pissed, wanting her gone. Laura gets sicks of it. She then sits on the bed, rubbing her eyes. She then gets a call, which she picks up.
Laura: What.
Ghostface: Welcome back, Laura. It has been quite some time.
Laura: What's your motive? Who are you?
Ghostface: You still don't learn from your mistakes, do you?
Laura: Fuck off.
Ghostface: How does it feel to be the villain of the story this time, Laura?
Laura: Funny. What do you want.
Ghostface: You still don't get it, do you? The time of admiring Laura Cabbage is over. You won't be seen as a Survivor, you'll be seen as a virus. Everyone around you dies, and only you keeps on surviving. People wouldn't want to be around you anymore because if they do, they die.
Laura: So this is all about me?
Ghostface: You wish, Laura. It's a matter of time when you will fall, and when you do I'll make sure you will never crawl back up. I will finish what the others couldn't. But until then, I will make your life a living hell. And it has started this night. Have fun back in Bellody while it lasts, Laura.
The call gets ended, having Laura look slightly worried. She stands up and sees her partner standing in the opening of the door, looking at her.
Max: Has something happened? You have been so strong and confident this entire time and it seems like you're scared.
Laura: It's the killer. This time the killer really wants me, but, it's not just about killing me. It's about killing us all. He wants me to suffer and make me the villain before I die. He's turning everyone against me.
Max: Don't worry about it, let's just sleep and forget about it.
Laura: No, I'm feeling like I'm finally getting the motive. This is about re-opening a new franchise. The killer wants to focus on the new people and therefor I need to be eliminated.
Max: Laura -
Laura: I need to call Tony.
Max walks towards Laura and softly grabs her arms.
Max: Tomorrow. You need to sleep and get rest. You're doing too much. Please.
Laura has tears in her eyes.
Laura: I don't want to have another victim fall.
Max: Don't worry.
The lights of the bedroom are turned off.
=== Chapter Thirteen: A Dark Nightmare ===
It's almost midnight as Jeanet is at Vanessa in the hospital. The two are talking about everything and anything.
Jeanet: So I went to the baker and they said that someone stole my darn sandwiches while I ordered those for the whole floor. What a shithead.
Vanessa: Like please. Anyways, how's the company going.
Jeanet: Fine, even though some weird kid showed up and claimed that we got an appointment but after checking I noticed we didn't have one.
Vanessa: What was his name?
Jeanet: Liam Aleks. No idea who he is. You maybe?
Vanessa shrugs, feeling a bit tired. Tony arrives, looking confused why there's still someone in the room.
Tony: Hello?
Jeanet: Officer Jarvis, you are such a gentleman. And what a beautiful ring!
Tony: Thanks. Anyways, I think Vanessa could need some rest.
Jeanet nods.
Jeanet: Alright. Well, Vanessa, work is all under control. You should not worry about that at all!
Vanessa: Thanks girl. Bye!
Jeanet leaves the hospital as she's taking the elevator. She grabs her bag as she's going down in floors. As the elevator passes the second floor, Ghostface is walking. Jeanet doesn't see this as she's too busy with grabbing some papers out of her bag.
Jeanet: Ah, of course. How could I forget.
The elevator then stops out of nowhere, with the lights turning on and off. Jeanet starts to push some buttons and screams.
Jeanet: Hello! HELLO!? SOMEONE OUT THERE?
She then gets a call, she quickly picks it up.
Jeanet: Hello whoever you are, I'm in the elevator and I'm stuck. Please send help.
Ghostface: Why should I?
Jeanet: Because I'm a fucking important person that needs to reach her deadline.
Ghostface: In a few seconds you're a fucking dead person.
The elevator starts to work again but instead of going down, it's going up to the second floor. Ghostface is standing there, pressing the button to open the elevator. Jeanet looks at Ghostface and faints.
As she smacks her head on the ground, she looks very dizzy at Ghostface.
Jeanet: Make ... me ... part of ... the ... book.
Ghostface slams their knife through Jeanet's body, killing her as the elevator continues to go up.
In the hospital room of Vanessa, Tony kisses his fiance and stands up.
Tony: You call me if there's something wrong, right? There should be some nurses walking around.
Vanessa nods.
Vanessa: I love you.
Tony: Love you too.
The two blow a kiss towards each other as Tony leaves the room. Vanessa smiles as she's feeling very peaceful and happy. She closes her eyes as she gets a call. Thinking it's Tony already to just say sweet words to her, she picks it up.
Vanessa: Hello honeyboo.
Ghostface: Hello, Vanessa.
Vanessa opens her eyes immediately, sitting in her bed. She's very alert and looks around.
Vanessa: What do you want?
Ghostface: I want you to look in the elevator. I have left a surprise for you.
Vanessa: Look asshole, there are nurses everywhere in the building. Outside it's full of cops. You can't fool me.
Ghostface: You're gonna regret having such a big mouth.
Vanessa: You might have accomplished to attack me, but you'll never scare me. You got it?
Ghostface: I'm excited for the new book.
Vanessa: Oh?
Ghostface: Who'll write it when the original writer is dead?
Vanessa rolls her eyes. She steps out of her hospital bed.
Vanessa: Getting tired of this. Elevator, you said?
Vanessa walks towards the elevator and as she presses the button, she waits.
Ghostface: I can't wait to cut -
Vanessa: Not interested.
The elevator reaches the point where Vanessa is standing. The door gets opened automatically and she notices Jeanet's dead corpse laying there. Behind her, Ghostface pops up and tries to catch Vanessa. 
She tries to run away, having Ghostface grabbing her ankle. She kicks Ghostface, managing to run away. Vanessa runs as fast as she can, looking for nurses.
Vanessa: GODDAMNED! ANYONE HERE!
She then arrives at the entrance hall. Vanessa realizes she dropped her phone somewhere so she can't call anyone. She looks behind her and as she reaches the end of the entrance, she notices it's a dead end. The speakers of the hospital starts to turn on.
Attention, Attention
Ghostface: Are you ready to finally die, Vanessa?
Ghostface then arrives at the hall. The speaker keeps repeating the words Ghostface just said. There's no way out for Vanessa. She tries to break the windows and doors but nothing helps. She's trapped.
Vanessa: You know what. I rather die than begging you to live. You're not worth that joy.
Ghostface steps closer towards Vanessa.
Vanessa: You'll be caught, you won't get away with this. Trust me on that.
As she continues to speak, Ghostface moves towards her and now reaches her body with their knife.
Vanessa: Whatever happens, you'll never win. Asshole.
Ghostface then puts their knife into Vanessa's stomach, twisting it. Vanessa closes her eyes as she's slowly dropping on the ground. Ghostface leaves quickly as some nurses arrive. Ghostface pushes them away and leaves the building while the nurses scream and run towards Vanessa.
Nurse: Vanessa. Vanessa stay with us. Vanessa!
But it's too late. The killer has managed to kill off Vanessa, as she's not breathing anymore. She's laying her own blood, dead. More nurses start to arrive, having tried to find Vanessa after she left. Many nurses scream and cry over Vanessa's dead body.
=== Chapter Fourteen: Girls Being Girls ===
The next day arrives as Amber-Lynn wakes up. She stands up and looks out of her room. She sees cops everywhere. She starts to sigh and drops herself on her bed. She then gets a text message from Roxy. As Amber-Lynn doesn't respond immediately, she gets an incoming call from her.
Amber-Lynn: I just woke up, oh my god.
Roxy: Just wanted to make sure you were alright. I just called Sam, she's doing good too.
Amber-Lynn: Who would've ever thought that you're a caring human being.
Roxy: You bitch!
Amber-Lynn laughs but gets abruptedly shut down as she notices a shadow walking in the hall.
Amber-Lynn: I thought I saw someone move in my house.
Roxy: Funny.
She stands up from her bed and as she reaches the hall, a jumpscare happens since Avan is right in front of her.
Amber-Lynn: Why are you in my house? Holy shit.
Avan: I just wanted to make sure that you're alright.
Amber-Lynn: Is this some sort of joke? Has Roxy hired you to give me the creeps?
Avan: Eh - 
Amber-Lynn grabs her phone.
Amber-Lynn: Roxy, why is Avan standing in my house?
Roxy: Girl you need to say goodbye to your flirt. It's been fun now, he's giving me the creeps.
Amber-Lynn: So do I. Well, I'll talk to you later.
She ends the call and now looks at Avan.
Amber-Lynn: Look, it's better you stay away from me. I don't know you and now suddenly the murders are happening, you want to date me? I don't trust this.
Avan: Because of the killings I want to stay close to you to protect you.
Amber-Lynn: Still, I really don't want that. Please leave me alone.
Two cops then arrive inside the house and walk towards Amber-Lynn and Avan.
Officer: Misses Dolan, are you alright? Is this a welcome visitor?
Amber-Lynn: Actually, no. Officer, please, let him leave.
Avan looks seriously surprised now.
Avan: Come on! Amby! Don't do this!
The cops drag him outside of the house as Amber-Lynn gets another call. She picks it up.
Amber-Lynn: Hello?
She only hears someone breathing. No one says a thing.
Amber-Lynn: I said, hello? Who is this?
The call then gets ended by the anonymous caller. Amber-Lynn frowns and quickly walks towards the window, looking outside. She sees Avan walking away with a phone in his head. Amber-Lynn glares and now starts a group facetime with Roxy and Samantha.
Amber-Lynn: Girls, I think I know who the killer is.
Roxy: Is it that creep of a Avan?
Samantha: I also want to say something -
Amber-Lynn: Honestly, it can't be someone else. It needs to be him. He's being super creepy and I just got called by Ghostface and I saw Avan walking away with a phone.
Samantha: The show-
Amber-Lynn: Do you think I need to tell Sheriff Dwayne about this?
Roxy: It's better to just leave it to them. You want me to come over?
Amber-Lynn: Yes please. Samantha are you coming too?
Samantha: No. I'll stay here.
Samantha then ends the call, while Roxy and Amber-Lynn frown.
Amber-Lynn: She was acting very weird, as if she wanted to change the topic from Avan to something else.
Roxy: Who knows she wants to hit on Avan. I mean, she said she liked him. Anyways, I'm coming over.
=== Chapter Fifteen: The Horryfing Truth ===
Tony, alongside some other cops, are currently at the Farnsworth Company since Jeanet Thompson hasn't arrived there. She's reported as missing. Tony then gets a call from the sheriff.
Tony: Jarvis here.
Sheriff Dwayne: Tony. You need to come here.
Tony: What? Where?
Sheriff Dwayne: The hospital. It's important.
Tony: Did something happen to Vanessa? Is she alright? Dwayne?
Sheriff Dwayne: Come here.
Tony quickly grabs his stuff. Without warning the other cops, he quickly goes inside his car. As he rides, he gets a call. He picks it up.
Tony: Jarvis.
Ghostface: In a rush, officer Jarvis?
Tony: You better be sure nothing happened to Vanessa, asshole.
Ghostface: Who knows.
Tony: We got a big lead towards you. It's just a matter of time we'll catch you.
Ghostface: It's just a matter of time I catch you, officer. You see, I'm not scared of threats. Especially not from you.
Tony: We'll see.
Ghostface: Goodluck preparing the funeral.
The call gets ended by Ghostface, which makes Tony feel sick to his stomach.
He reaches the hospital and rushes inside. Instead of nurses warning Tony to walk instead of running, they all look very sad towards him. Tony reaches the floor where Vanessa was laying. He reaches her room, looking at the empty bed. Sheriff Dwayne is standing there.
Tony: Dwayne? Where's Vanessa?
Sheriff Dwayne: I think it's best if you take a seat, Tony.
Tony: Don't - where is she? DWAYNE WHERE IS SHE!
Two nurses then arrive as Dwayne nods towards them.
Sheriff Dwayne: Tony ... Vanessa was killed last night.
The world ends for Tony, he doesn't feel his legs anymore and doesn't hear anything. The room starts circling around him as he feels like he's about to throw up.
Sheriff Dwayne: I'm so sorry...
Tony: She is dead?
One of the nurses walks towards Tony.
Nurse: If you ever want to talk I -
Tony pushes the nurse away and looks furious.
Tony: Where is she. I want to see her. Now.
Sheriff Dwayne: You can, but just not -
Tony: Bring me to her. NOW!
Sheriff Dwayne: Tony please calm down.
Tony: NO! FUCK OFF! THAT FUCKING BASTARD KILLED MY FUTURE WIFE! THAT SON OF SATAN IS GONNA BURN IN HELL FOR WHAT HE DID TO VANESSA! I WILL KILL HIM! I WILL FUCKING KILL HIM!
Tony starts to flip, kicking everything away and punching some furniture. The nurses try to cool him down but the Sheriff signs to let him go. Tony isn't himself anymore. He keeps crying and kicking until he burst out in more tears. The sheriff walks towards him, hugging him.
Sheriff Dwayne: I am so sorry for your loss. We'll catch that killer, trust me.
Tony can't say anything anymore. The person he loved for years and always let go is now dead. She's gone forever. There's no possibility to visit her anymore, to talk to her or simply call her. He always got the chance to talk to her but he didn't take it. Tony feels terrible that his fiance is gone. Killed by Ghostface...
Tony: The killer will regret this.
=== Chapter Sixteen: Losing Someone Dear ===
Laura is cleaning some stuff in her house as she's grabbing some food to prepare for dinner. Max arrives from the garden and smiles at Laura.
Max: What are we gonna make today?
Laura: Baked potatoes with some grilled chicken. Do you want to make the salad?
Max: Sure! Your whole mood has changed since last night. I told you sleeping would be fine.
Laura: Yes. I've been thinking and me going to Bellody has only caused for trouble. I should be safe here so I'll stay here. They don't want me, then that's fine. Even though I feel responsible for catching the killer...
Max: Think of yourself this time. You have done everything you could've done so far. Now make those potatoes since I'm starving hehe. I'll finish some stuff in the garden.
As Max walks back outside, Laura starts baking the potatoes. She then hears her phone ringing. She quickly walks towards it, noticing that it's an anonymous number. Laura sighs and then picks up.
Laura: What is it?
Ghostface: I want you to turn on the news.
Laura looks sharp at the television. She turns it on and then turns the news on. She sees the news reporter talking.
News Reporter: Just minutes ago the body of Jeanet Thompson was found on top of the Bellody hospital. She was the publisher of victim Vanessa Farnsworth, who was killed last night. This was also just made public. It's a crime we have lost Vanessa Farnsworth, writer of -
She then turns off the television as she hears Ghostface laughing on the phone. Laura has tears in her eyes.
Laura: You ...
Ghostface: You still think you're all legacy human beings? You really think that you're always gonna survive, Laura? Not this time.
Laura: What the fuck is your problem?
Ghostface: You are the problem. Haven't I made that clear already, you dumb piece of shit? Listen carefully, this time it was Vanessa who died. Next time it'll be you. And I'm closer than you think.
Laura: Do you actually think it'll work? You will be caught eventually.
Ghostface: That's what Vanessa said too and guess what? She's not here with us anymore.
Laura: You're sick.
Ghostface: And you're dead. Be ready when I slam my knife through your heart and rip it out off your body. Be ready to be reunited with your filthy mother.
Laura: You better be ready to get your ass kicked, asshole.
Laura ends the call. After this conversation and the death of Vanessa, she needs to return to Bellody to catch the killer. She quickly walks towards the pan of potatoes, turning the gas off. She then walks towards the door.
Laura: Max! I need to talk to you.
There's no sign of Max, though. Laura walks outside and looks around.
Laura: Max?
She then reaches the barn. She knocks on the door.
Laura: Are you inside? Hello?
As she opens the door, she looks at the hanging corpse of Max. He has multiple stab wounds. Laura has no words, she kneels and has trouble breathing. Coming from behind the corpse, it's Ghostface. For the first time in five years, Laura comes eye to eye with Ghostface again.
Laura: You want me? Come and get me.
Laura then runs away with Ghostface chasing her. Laura heads inside and grabs the pan she just cooked with. As Ghostface enters the house, they get hit by Laura's pan. She manages to kick him and starts kicking him more. Ghostface sweeps Laura off her feet, now laying both on the ground. Ghostface crawls up first and moves their body towards Laura, moving themselves over her.
They slam their knife towards her but Laura grabs the arms of Ghostface, pushing the knife away from her throat. She kicks Ghostface away, managing to escape their attack. Laura now quickly runs outside through the front-door and looks around to catch a glimpse of the killer.
Laura: SOMEBODY CALL 911!
As the neighbours walk outside too and look at her, everyone starts to grab their phones. They call with 911 while one of the neighbours walk towards Laura.
Harry: What's going on?
Laura: There's someone in the house that killed Max. Please let someone check the house. I need to go now.
Harry: What in lord's name -
Laura quickly grabs her car, moving her way back to Bellody.
=== Chapter Seventeen: Bloody Victims ===
It's getting darker, the evening is about to start. Roxy arrives at the Dolan house as she knocks on the door. She looks around her but the only thing she sees is cops. She walks towards one of them.
Roxy: Hey boo, have you seen Amber-Lynn walk out the house recently?
The officer shakes his head, causing Roxy to roll her eyes. She grabs her phone and calls Amber-Lynn. As she does so, she hears it ring. She follows the path and then walks towards the place where she hears the phone ringing. She grabs the phone as she sees it.
Roxy: What the fuck?
She quickly returns towards the cops and shows the phone of Amber-Lynn.
Roxy: Why is her phone outside? What is going on here? I want you guys to go inside now to check if she's alright. NOW!
The cops quickly open the house with the extra key they got and rush inside. Roxy follows them and as they reach the bedroom of Amber-Lynn, they look shocked. Amber-Lynn is laying on the ground, with several stab wounds. 
Roxy: AMB!
Amber-Lynn opens her eyes and looks at the blood, slowly freaking out.
Amber-Lynn: Oh my god, what is happening. Why am I covered in blood!
Roxy: I'm gonna call an ambulance.
One of the cops look at the injuries of Amber-Lynn.
Officer: You are lucky to be alive, these wounds aren't just minor stab wounds. These are heavy. Do you feel sick or dizzy?
Amber-Lynn: I do. Kinda. I just feel very faint.
The ambulance arrives and they take Amber-Lynn inside. Roxy decides to stay in the house to look for any clues. She looks around and as she wants to return back downstairs, she comes eye to eye with Tony.
Roxy: Mister Jarvis, I am so sorry about Vanessa.
Tony: Yeah, I need your help.
Roxy: With what?
Tony: We need to lure the killer towards us. Normally, the killer makes their final move when there are multiple people at one place. I want you to organize a party. Here.
Roxy starts to frown.
Roxy: A party?
Tony: With that, the killer obviously will show up and if we get enough people, we can catch the killer.
Roxy: Isn't that super risky?
Tony: So what? My fucking wife got killed, you expect me to be a polite policeman now? Fuck off. This killer needs to pay for what he did.
Roxy nods her head.
Roxy: I like you officer. You have lots of fire inside you.
Tony: Now I do, yeah. Anyways, why was there an ambulance here?
Roxy: Amber-Lynn got attacked. She's onto the killer and therefor she needs to die apparently.
Tony: Who?
Roxy: Avan. Don't know his last name.
Tony writes that name on his notebook quickly.
Tony: So you'll now contact people for the party and I'll try to get into contact with Laura now. She needs to know about this all.
Roxy: Aye captain!
As Tony quickly walks outside, he receives a text message from Laura.
I'm at Bellody High. We need to talk.
Tony immediately grabs his police car and heads towards Laura.
=== Chapter Eighteen: Discovering Something Unusual ===
Tony arrives at Bellody High, where he should meet Laura again. He looks around and grabs his phone just in case. It’s dark outside and Tony keeps hearing noises around him. He then looks at the bushes, seeing Laura coming away from them.
Tony: Jeez, you scared me.
Laura: I'm sorry, this was the only way to do it.
Tony looks around to see if there's any danger. He takes Laura towards the side-path of Bellody High, giving them some space to talk.
Tony: Have you heard about Vanessa?
Laura nods and hugs Tony.
Laura: Yes I did... that's partly why I'm here.
Tony: Partly?
Laura: Tony, Max was killed too.
Tony's jaw drops, not knowing what to say.
Tony: They took your partner too...
Laura grabs Tony's hand.
Laura: This needs to end. I think I have figured out the system.
Tony: Tell me.
Laura: Alright, hear me out. This started exactly five years since my mother was killed. Two girls were murdered. Then, two other teenagers get killed at the exact same location and then Vanessa and her publisher get killed together.
Tony: Mhm.
Laura: Max got killed and the killer intended to kill me, which means that except for myself, the killer has always killed two people at the same time.
Tony: Wait a minute...
Laura: The original system was two killers and one victim at each time. What if it's reversed now? One killer and two victims at each time?
Tony: You're right! But the killer tried to kill Vanessa at the house where the first murder happened?
Laura nods.
Laura: That's because the killer didn't know Vanessa was there. Vanessa wasn't meant to be killed there, that's why she probably survived. They had to take her down. However, they left some sort of clue there. I found a picture of Amber-Lynn and she received a note that she'd be next. This happened to me too, remember?
Tony: Do you think the killer has it out for her?
Laura: I think so. The killer has made clear that he doesn't want you, me and Vanessa in this new story. The killer wants a new story and he wants Amber-Lynn as the new me.
Tony: But if Amber-Lynn is the new you, she has the biggest risk to die.
Laura: Not before the others are dead, though. We need to track them down.
Tony: Shouldn't be too hard. They're all at a party.
Laura's face changes towards a seriously pissed expression.
Laura: A party?
Tony: It was my idea. We need to lure the killer.
Laura: The last time a party was held around us, innocent people died. Where's the party? We need to go there right now before any innocent person dies.
Laura and Tony quickly run towards Tony's police car.
=== Chapter Nineteen: Let's Get The Party Started ===
At the house of Amber-Lynn, Roxy welcomes several people who go inside and are having a good time already. Seamus arrives and smiles towards Roxy.
Seamus: I love a girl with balls. Pulling off a party under these circumstances.
Roxy: Just make sure I don't rip your balls off. Rawr.
Seamus grins and goes inside as he's followed by Avan. Roxy blocks the door for him.
Roxy: Yeaaah, I don't think so. Invites only.
Avan: But I got a invite, though. Here.
Avan shows a invite coming from Amber-Lynn. Roxy looks at it and grins.
Roxy: I don't know if you've realised but one, Amber-Lynn's phone has been taken by the police for investigation and two, Amber-Lynn isn't even present. So bye bye.
Avan: Where's she?
Roxy: That's none of your business.
Avan quickly walks towards her and grabs her arm very tightly.
Avan: Listen now, you are testing my blood pressure right now. I've had enough of you and your nasty attitude. You tell me where Amber-Lynn is now.
Roxy: Let go off me, asshole, you're hurting me.
Someone taps on Avan's shoulder. It's Liam Aleks. He looks at Avan.
Liam: Avan, my friend, everything alright?
Avan: I can't get in.
Liam steps in front of Roxy, smiling.
Liam: Excuse me, we'd just like to party.
Roxy: Who the hell are you?
Liam: Let's say, a ex-Bellody High student? I saw some familair faces going in and Avan is someone I consider as a good friend. I'll keep my eyes on him, trust me.
Roxy grabs her phone and makes a note with Liam's name.
Roxy: One suspicious action and you're both gonna get kicked out of the house.
The guys high five each other and go inside as Samantha then arrives. Roxy quickly runs towards her.
Roxy: Girl where have you been!
Samantha: I tried to contact you but you haven't reacted. I just got called by the killer, he says that he's inside the house and he's ready to cut some people.
Roxy: Awesome.
Samantha: Awesome? Are you mental?
Roxy: I mean, we are trying to lure the killer. There are cops everywhere. Hold up.
Roxy quickly grabs a camera out of her bag and hands it over to Samantha.
Roxy: This one needs to be placed in the garage, in case the killer is coming from there. The cameras are connected with the police system. It better works because it cost a lot.
Samantha: Are you coming with me?
Roxy: Can't. I need to guard here. Ask Seamus to join you?
Samantha rolls her eyes.
Samantha: Funny. I'll go.
Samantha goes inside as Roxy looks around. It seems like no one's coming anymore. She sees some cops arriving, waving towards Roxy.
Roxy: Can I hire you for some pizza?
Officer: Nice try, Roxy.
=== Chapter Twenty: Horror Turns Reality ===
Everyone starts partying in the house. Roxy shuts the door and walks around as Seamus tries to reaches her attention.
Seamus: Rox, please, listen to me. Let's have sex!
Roxy turns herself towards Seamus, noticing his empty bottle of wodka.
Roxy: Have sex with that bottle.
Seamus: Ever since you told me you loved horror movies, I have developed a bbbig crush ffor you!
Roxy: Okay mister Myers, can I just check on the guests now?
Seamus: Look...
Seamus takes off his shirt, showing a very good body. He has a six-pack and has muscles.
Seamus: I have trained to become attractive. Don't make that worthless. I know you want me.
Roxy: All I need now is a trashcan to vomit.
Roxy then walks off causing Seamus to look real pissed. He walks away while Roxy looks around. She can't find Liam or Avan anymore. She keeps running around as she asks some people if they saw either Liam or Avan, but no one has a idea who they are. Roxy starts to panic.
In the mean time, Samantha has reached the garage. She tries to hurry and leaves the door open. She places the camera on top of the bar. As she turns herself, the door she just opened is closed. She quickly walks to it and tries to open it, which is locked now.
Samantha: What the -
Her phone then rings. She quickly picks it up.
Samantha: Hello?
Ghostface: Hello, Samantha.
Samantha closes her eyes.
Samantha: Please tell me it's a joke, tell me it's a joke, tell me -
Ghostface: Does this seem like a joke to you?
Samantha: Tell me it's you Roxy. Is this some sort of trap?
Ghostface: Who can tell. Are you in for a little game, Samantha?
As Samantha has ghostface on the phone, she slowly walks towards the garage door. She tries to open it but it's locked too.
Ghostface: Have you forgotten to talk, Samantha?
Samantha: What do you want from me? I have never hurt someone and I'm not planning to do so either.
Ghostface: Are you sure you have never hurt someone before? You should try it, it feels ... satisfying.
Samantha: I'm not gonna continue with this. I want to go back to the others now so open that door for me!
Ghostface: Let's play Truth or Dare. If you win, I'll open the door and let you go. If you lose, I'll open the door and cut off your head from your body and play soccer with it.
Samantha starts to cry as she drops herself on the ground. She feels trapped. However, she now knows what to do. She needs to end the call and call the cops. She quickly ends the call with Ghostface. As she starts dialing 911, she gets an incoming call again. She rejects it, but as soon as she does so, the killer calls again. There's no way she can call 911.
Samantha picks up the phone again.
Ghostface: If you ever hang up on me or reject a call, you'll lose the game automatically. Understood?!
Samantha: Yes...
Ghostface: Truth or Dare?
Samantha: Truth...
Ghostface: How did it feel to be raped by your father?
Samantha: How did you - How do - Oh my god ...
Ghostface: That's not the answer I was waiting for.
Samantha: I know who you are.
Right at that moment, the door gets opened and Ghostface appears. Samantha starts to run and tries to punch Ghostface. It's with no luck since Ghostface manages to put their knife into Samantha's body, throwing her against the garagedoor and pressing the knife more and more into her body. Blood starts dripping as Samantha reaches towards the mask of Ghostface.
Samantha: Fucking ... bastard ...
Ghostface pulls back their knife, causing Samantha to fall down, being dead. Samantha's phone is ringing and some people could be heard walking towards the garage. Ghostface runs directly at the two girls who walk, causing them to hysterically scream.
Girl: AAAAHH THE KILLER IS HERE!
Before any one can even show up, Ghostface has fled the scene. The girls cause panic to everyone as everyone runs. Roxy, who's part of the crowd, looks around her and quickly runs towards the garage. As she reaches there, she sees the dead body of Samantha. Roxy feels terrible, she could've prevented this.
Police officers arrive at the garage.
Officer: Did you see it happening?
The other police officers run around the house to try to catch the killer.
Roxy: I just ... I haven't seen it.
Roxy quickly returns to the livingroom as only Seamus is sitting there, watching one of the Friday the 13th movies. Everyone else has left.
=== Chapter Twenty-One: Preparation For The Storm ===
As Roxy walks around in the livingroom, the frontdoor gets opened. Tony and Laura have arrived and look very concerned.
Tony: Roxy, what happened?!
Roxy: Oh my god, officer Jarvis! Laura!
Roxy quickly runs towards them.
Roxy: It's Samantha, she's killed by Ghostface. They're around the house. The cops are looking everywhere for them.
Tony: The killer won't attack if all the cops are staying here. They need to leave.
Laura frowns towards Tony.
Laura: There's a serial killer somewhere around the house and you want the cops to leave? We should just fucking find him by now.
Tony: I agree Laura, but the more cops being present, the less chance we have at getting the killer.
Seamus then walks towards the trio, drooling as he looks at Laura.
Seamus: I - I - I
Roxy taps him on his forehead.
Roxy: Since when do you talk like a goat?
Seamus: You are my biggest idol.
Laura puts on a smile but rather just goes into action right now. Tony notices this and feels like something needs to be done. As soon as Tony wants to talk, Roxy's phone rings. She quickly picks it up.
Roxy: Hello?
Amber-Lynn: Roxy, is everything alright? I'm calling with the local phone here in the hospital.
Roxy: No, it's - I mean - yeah, everything's alright.
Amber-Lynn: You sound weird.
Roxy: Alright, promise me to stay calm. Samantha got killed.
Amber-Lynn: NO! This can't happen anymore. I'm coming towards you all.
Roxy: Uh no, you stay where you are. You're much safer there. Remember, the killer wants you.
Laura looks at Roxy as if she sees herself talking with Tony.
Amber-Lynn: Remember the picture and the note? The killer wants me. I won't let any innocent person die for me anymore. I'm coming right now.
Before Roxy can even respond, the call gets ended. Roxy looks at the two.
Roxy: Amber is coming our way.
Laura: What?! She's the target here. She needs to look out.
Tony: Okay, whatever, we need to find Ghostface now. They're around the house for sure.
Roxy: I GOT AN IDEA!
Roxy quickly grabs her phone again and gets the ones from Tony and Laura. She then starts a group facetime call.
Roxy: With this we keep contact.
Laura: This is brillaint. Thank you technology. I'll go outside.
Tony: I will check the ground floor.
Roxy: Then I'll go upstairs.
The three all go their own way. Tony looks around and doesn't see anything surprising. He then notices Seamus standing all alone, looking towards him.
Tony: Can I help you?
Seamus: Why am I excluded of finding the killer?
Tony: Sorry kid, this is serious business. Not kind of game you like to play.
Seamus: Fine then.
Seamus walks off, causing Tony to shrug. He hears Roxy sighing on the call, being annoyed by Seamus once again.
Roxy has made her way upstairs and checks the rooms. First the bathroom, nothing. Amber-Lynn's bedroom ... nothing. The hobby room, also nothing. She then opens the bedroom of Amber-Lynn's parents and yells.
Roxy: HOLY SHIT!
She sees Avan and Liam laying in bed, naked, fucking each other. The guys blush and quickly put the blankets over their bodies.
Liam: Eh yeah -
Roxy: I thought... Avan... you've got some explaining to do.
Avan: Shut the fuck up bitch, leave us alone.
Roxy: If you are gay, then why did you try to get Amber-Lynn?
Avan: Ever heard of bisexual?
Liam: Let's go, I'm over this.
The two guys put their clothes on as Roxy grabs her phone.
Roxy: Nothing serious happened, just got another trauma.
As Liam leaves the room first, Avan follows him and drops a old nokia phone. He quickly picks it up and looks at Roxy, glaring towards her. Roxy notices this.
Roxy: If you two don't mind, I'm following mister prime suspect Avan himself.
=== Chapter Twenty-Two: The Battle Begins ===
Laura makes her way outside as she looks at the camera. She sees Roxy walking out of the street, following Liam and Avan. She also sees Tony checking the garage.
Laura: Nothing seems to happen outside. The cops left indeed. You got what you wanted.
Tony: The sheriff is on his way so that's why.
Laura raises an eyebrow as she looks at an empty police car with the board "Sheriff" on it.
Laura: When did Dwayne told you he'd come to us?
Tony: Around twenty minutes ago. Why?
Laura walks towards the car. She sees someone sitting in the car, wearing the Ghostface mask. Laura gets a bit nervous.
Laura: Tony... there's someone sitting in the car with the Ghostface mask on.
Tony: Should I go outside?
Laura: No, it might be a trap.
She slowly opens the door, quickly pushing the man behind the Ghostface mask. They don't respond in any kind of reaction.
Laura: No response.
Laura then touches them again, with no response. Laura slowly moves her body towards the person with the Ghostface mask on, feeling very nervous. If it's the killer, they can attack her any minute. She almost reaches their mask. But then, she presses the horn by accident. She gets scared and out of reflex, she grabs the Ghostface mask and pulls it off. She sees Sheriff Dwayne, with open eyes. He doesn't move, as he has neck cut open. He's dead.
Laura: Tony ...
As Laura looks at her phone, she sees that someone else has joined the conversation. It's someone with a Ghostface mask on.
Laura: Guys, look at your phone.
While Tony immediately looks at it, seeing Ghostface too, Roxy is focusing on the two guys. The camera of Ghostface now moves towards the back of Laura.
Tony: HE'S BEHIND YOU!
Laura quickly turns, just missing a attack from Ghostface. She manages to kick him away and rushes towards the house. Tony tries to do the same but he's locked inside the garage. He screams.
Tony: I'M LOCKED HERE! SHIT! LAURA LOOK OUT!
Roxy now realises that Laura is in danger. She looks up towards Liam and Avan.
Roxy: HELP! THE KILLER! COME WITH ME NOW!
Laura keeps running in the house with Ghostface chasing her. She runs up on the stairs, trying to throw anything that's in reach at Ghostface. He keeps chasing her as Laura tries to open the bedroom of Amber-Lynn. She closes the door and presses a bookcase in front of it. She quickly runs towards the window, opening it.
Laura: Guys, we need to leave this house. We need to get help.
Tony: Try to get the killer to the livingroom. Seamus must be there and if Roxy and the guys are there too, you can beat him.
Laura looks behind her and notices that Ghostface is gone. She walks through the window and now walks on the roof. As she wants to walk towards the other side of the roof, Ghostface shows up there. They swing with their knife, hitting Laura on her arm. They push Laura off the roof, causing her to fall in the bushes.
Tony: LAURA!
Laura manages to stand up and looks above her, not seeing Ghostface anymore. As she runs inside again, she clashes with Amber-Lynn.
Laura: Amber!
Amber-Lynn: Laura! You're hurt! Where are the others?
Laura grabs Amber-Lynn's hand quickly walking towards the garage. She opens it, unlocking the door for Tony. As she opens it, no one's there. Laura looks at her phone, realising that her phone battery died.
Laura: The garage door is locked from each side right?
Amber-Lynn: Normally, yes.
Laura then notices that the door was forced open from inside, which means Tony let himself out. Laura looks around.
Laura: Go inside here and call 911. I'm gonna get Tony and the others.
Amber-Lynn: I want to help.
Laura: The killer wants you. You need to stay here. You're safe here. If you lock yourself and turn off the lights, the killer won't look for you. I'll be around.
Amber-Lynn: Okay...
Laura then closes the door of the garage behind her, quickly walking back towards the livingroom.
=== Chapter Twenty-Three: A Massive Bloodbath ===
Laura returns to the livingroom as Roxy, Liam and Avan arrive.
Roxy: Are you alright, that seems like a nasty wound.
Laura: Don't worry about it. Tony has freed himself and Amber-Lynn is somewhere safe now.
Roxy: Somewhere safe. Is she here? I want to go to her.
Laura: We need to catch the killer now.
The frontdoor gets slammed open. It's Ghostface, running towards them. While Roxy, Avan and Liam run upstairs, Laura runs towards Ghostface, trying to attack them. They push Laura away against the wall, causing her to make a very big smack. Laura falls on the ground, having to take a few seconds to stand up. She looks at Ghostface who has made their way upstairs too.
Avan: WHERE NOW?
Roxy, who knows this house better than anyone else, quickly runs towards the bedroom of Amber-Lynn's parents. She opens the window.
Roxy: You two go inside. I'm gonna hide under the bed. Go.
Avan and Liam quickly go through the window as Ghostface reaches the room. They quickly chase the two boys on the roof, which gives Roxy time to escape. Avan and Liam are running on the roofs.
Avan: WHAT NOW?
Liam: We jump. We must jump. The chance of us getting killed are higher -
Ghostface arrives and manages to put their knife into Avan's back. They push him off the roof, causing Avan to make a gigantic smack on the ground. He breaks his neck as he lands, which causes him to die. Liam looks at Ghostface.
Liam: Don't. Just step back please.
Ghostface doesn't listen and rushes towards Liam. They grab Liam's head and pushes it through one of the windows. As they push him through it, they slam their knife through his back and slice it all the way up to his ass. As Liam drops on the floor in the hobby room, Ghostface finishes Liam's life by putting their knife in Liam's head.
Roxy walks downstairs and meets up with Laura again.
Roxy: Show me where Amber-Lynn is.
The two girls then run towards the garage. As they open the door, the lights are on and no one's there. The two girls look at each other.
Roxy: They got her.
Laura: Maybe not.
They then quickly return to the livingroom as they see Seamus standing there, covered in blood.
Roxy: Seamus -
Seamus looks at himself, starting to cry.
Seamus: This is not what it is, trust me. I'm not the killer. I saw someone dead outside and I tried to check and -
Roxy: Stop the bullshit. STOP IT! You have always been so fucking jealous of the friendship Amber, Sam, Theo and I had and you wanted to get revenge on us just like Elton did to Laura's group!
Seamus: Trust me, that's not true. It's not true Roxy, listen to me!
Roxy: YOU ARE THE KILLER!
Seamus: NO I'M NOT!
Laura slowly grabs Roxy's arm.
Laura: We need to call Tony now.
Seamus: Don't do that. Please.
While Laura grabs Roxy's phone to call Tony, Roxy looks stunned towards Seamus as she sees Ghostface standing behind him.
Roxy: SEAMUS! NO!
Ghostface then pushes their knife multiple times through Seamus' body from the back, causing him to fall dead on the ground. Roxy starts to heavily cry while Ghostface runs towards her, pushing his knife through her breast. Roxy falls on the ground, in her and Seamus blood while Laura looks at Ghostface.
They swing with their knife towards her as they walk towards Laura. Laura steps behind but bumps into the wall, having no outway anymore.
=== Chapter Twenty-Four: The Reveal ===
Ghostface then finally puts off their mask, causing Laura to look speechless.
Laura: Oh my god -
Amber-Lynn: Surprised, Laura?
Amber-Lynn takes off her cloak as she grabs a gun out of her backpocket, aiming it at Laura. She quickly closes the frontdoor behind her. Laura wants to escape but Amber-Lynn shakes her head.
Amber-Lynn: Don't. I have no problem shooting one of my bullets through your head, so why bother escaping already when the real fun is about to start?
Laura: I should've known ...
Amber-Lynn: Should've known it was me? After all? And why do you think it was me? Come up with the theories.
After losing one of her best friends, multiple innocent people and her partner, Laura has no words anymore.
Amber-Lynn: You have never heard of me, did you? You see, my dad ... is your dad, sis.
Laura glares towards her.
Laura: I have no siblings.
Amber-Lynn: Yes you do. When your mother dumped my dad, he found someone that actually cared for him. My mother. They fell in love and then there was me. My dad always used to talk about how he had another daughter who didn't bother to talk to him, because she was brainwashed by her mother.
Laura: I don't believe you.
Amber-Lynn grabs something out of her pocket, a DNA proof that she's Amber-Lynn Dolan. Laura now realizes that her father's name was Dolan too.
Amber-Lynn: Convinced now?
Laura still looks disgusted towards Amber-Lynn.
Amber-Lynn: My parents were everything for me. Literally everything. But you ended their life five years ago, at a time of my life where I needed them the most. I was alone, I had no family anymore. While you, you had everything. You lived the life you wanted, you CHOSE to not see your dad while I had NO choice! And because of that, I wanted to take everything away from you too. All your friends, your partner, your self-confidence. I wanted you to feel as alone as never before. You had to be seen as a witch that had to be burnt alive.
Laura: If it was all about me, then why did you kill your friends?
Amber-Lynn: Because, Laura, if everyone's dead, it gives me the chance to live a new life. I have planned this out for years, ever since you killed dad. My friends would've found out that it was me. But instead, I decided to kill them so I could be the new Laura and be seen as the new generation's Sole Survivor.
Laura: You have killed everyone though, there's no way you're gonna get away with this.
Amber-Lynn grins.
Amber-Lynn: You think so? Look in and outside this room. There are many suspects. I just reached the house and have seen all the victims. You, Roxy ... and then I see Seamus standing in front of me. I manage to grab his gun and shoot him, killing mister Ghostface. I call 911, save the day and be remembered as the new Sole Survivor. And you, you will die as the villain everyone hated. No one will cry about you, no one will feel bad. You're the reason everyone died.
Laura: So that's why you've done all these things. To ... become ... me?
Amber-Lynn: Maybe. We'll see what happens next. The time has come to finally kill off Laura Cabbage.
Laura: You kill me and what then? You really think the police is gonna believe you?
Amber-Lynn: Stop FUCKING talk to me as if I'm a little child. I might be your little sister, but you better not treat me like I'm a fool.
Laura: If you don't want to be treated as a fool, don't act like one then.
Amber-Lynn's smile fades away for a very pissed off face.
Amber-Lynn: Chat time is over. How do you want to die? A gun shot in the head or should I cut you in every part of your body?
The door behind Amber-Lynn gets slowly opened by Tony as he slowly makes his way back inside the house.
Amber-Lynn: I have worked very fast ever since I killed Paisley and Cleo. I have placed cameras everywhere so I knew where I could hide and put my stuff to kill. So I won't have any problem killing you off in just a few seconds. So final offer, gun or knife?
Laura: Can I have one last request?
Amber-Lynn: What is it?
Laura: Die in hell.
Tony then jumps on Amber-Lynn as she starts to shoot. She misses Laura but as Amber-Lynn focuses her now on Tony, she shoots him in his chest. Tony screams out of pain. Out of reflex, he kicks away the gun and knife out of Amber-Lynn's hands, causing Laura and Amber-Lynn to jump on it. It's now a matter of who's the fastest.
=== Chapter Twenty-Five: Sister vs. Sister ===
Laura quickly reaches out towards the gun, but Amber-Lynn grabs her head, pushing it towards the ground. Laura kicks Amber-Lynn in her face. Laura manages to grab the knife.
Amber-Lynn: Was your mother that dumb too? I wish I could've seen how daddy killed her.
Laura then tries to grab the gun too but Amber-Lynn kicks it away, kicking Laura in her face. Laura grabs the knife and manages to hit Amber-Lynn's ankle with it.
Amber-Lynn: OH FUCK! AHHH!
Amber-Lynn jumps on Laura and grabs her hair, trying to hurt Laura as much as possible. Laura, still holding the knife, tries to stab Amber-Lynn with it, without any luck. Amber-Lynn grabs the knife, pulling it off Laura's hand.
Amber-Lynn: TIME TO DIE!
She quickly sweeps with her knife towards Laura, stabbing Laura a bit in her shoulder. Laura manages to kick the knife out of Amber-Lynn's hand and stands up, running towards the gun. She then grabs the gun and aims it at Amber-Lynn.
Laura: Change of parts, huh?
Amber-Lynn: You don't dare to shoot me, do you?
Laura: Why wouldn't I? After everything you have done.
Amber-Lynn: I'm your little sister.
Laura: I have killed my dad too, so shut up.
Amber-Lynn smiles.
Amber-Lynn: Kill me then. Do it!
Amber-Lynn then quickly kneels, grabbing the knife and throws it towards Laura. Laura manages to dodge the attack and out of reflex, shoots Amber-Lynn in her chest. Amber-Lynn falls on the ground.
Laura closes her eyes, having to recover from this. She stands up and slowly walks towards Tony. Meanwhile, Amber-Lynn drags herself towards the knife. She grabs it and then walks towards Laura. As she reaches her, Laura turns herself and aims her gun at Amber-Lynn's head, shooting and hitting her right in the middle of her head. Amber-Lynn collapses on the ground, dead.
Laura moves herself back to Tony, pressing her hand on his wound.
Laura: Tony, please. Stay with me.
Tony opens his eyes and looks a bit dizzy.
Tony: Laura ...
Laura: Oh my god Tony!
Tony: Let me die.
Laura raises both of her eyebrows as she holds his hand.
Laura: What are you saying?
Tony: Please, let me die. I want to go to Vanessa.
Laura: No...
Laura starts to cry heavily.
Laura: I have lost my mother, all of my friends, Max... you're the only one I have left.
Tony closes his eyes briefly as he leaves a tear.
Tony: You'll never be alone, Laura. Those who love you are around you. My time's up. Go to Roxy and save her instead. Please, Laura.
Laura cries as she looks at Tony, stroking his hair.
Laura: Tony?
Tony: Laura?
Laura: Give my mother a hug from me.
Tony smiles.
Tony: I will.
Tony's head drops on the floor as he stops breathing. Laura puts her hand in her arms as she cries and screams. The last person alive which she shared everything with just died. Even though she felt terrible to lose him, the thought of him being together with Vanessa again made her feel a bit better. She'd have peace with it.
The cops arrive, together with many ambulances.
Officer: ANY ONE ALIVE?
Laura raises her hand.
Laura: Me.
Even though she was the only one able to talk in the room, she felt like she had the least right to talk. Everyone was dead, except for her. But little did she know, half of her heart died this day too.
=== Chapter Twenty-Six: The End Of A Decade ===
While the normal and usual life is picked up by every villager of Bellody, Laura still feels terrible after what happened. She makes herself ready to visit Roxy, the only other survivor of the fourth killing spree in Bellody. As Laura leaves her house, media press immediately arrives.
Media Press: Laura, how does it feel to have survived another killing spree? Are you immortal?
Laura: Who knows.
Media Press: What's your next goal?
Laura: I don't know.
Media Press: Are you scared a fifth killing spree will happen? Will you write a book? How are you -
Laura turns herself to the press.
Laura: Listen, I have had my patience. I would like to be left alone for now and ever. You don't know what you're doing right now since none of you have been part of these killings. So please, leave me alone.
Laura then walks away, reaching the house of Roxy. She steps in as Roxy is laying in a bed in the livingroom, with two nurses walking around. Laura smiles.
Laura: Hey, feeling better?
Roxy: I could've felt worse, I guess. It's not like I feel I'm gonna die again.
Laura smiles and hands over some chocolates.
Roxy: Thanks. Actually, I should give you a present.
Laura: Don't mention it.
Roxy: Do you know why Amber-Lynn did this?
Laura nods as she sits down on the couch.
Laura: She's my sister, actually my half-sister I guess. We share the same dad. She held me responsible for the death of our dad, which is semi true I guess? She wanted to become me, to be a new Sole Survivor and live the life I have lived because she feels like she owed that.
Roxy: What a freak. When we met at High School four years ago, I thought she was a cool chick. But man I was wrong.
Laura: She fooled lots of people. That's what they do. And they're good at it, that's the scary part behind it.
Roxy: I can't understand why she would kill every single one of us.
Laura: Because she's sick in her head. Or was. Anyways, it's past us now.
Laura grabs something out of her bag., handing it over to Roxy.
Laura: This is my phone number. If you ever in a dangerous situation, a real dangerous situation, call me on that number. Until then, we'll see again.
Roxy: Are you leaving?
Laura nods.
Laura: I'll be forever remembered by the horror that's happened here. I don't want to deal with that anymore. It's time for me to recover and to think about life, without being confrontated with reality here.
Roxy: I understand.
Laura stands up and hugs Roxy as she walks towards the door.
Roxy: Be careful of yourself.
Laura: Same for you.
Laura leaves the house and as she walks through the down, she notices that there are ghostface masks all around town again. Children are running around, asking each other what their favorite scary movie is. As Laura reaches the end of the street, she gets called. She picks it up.
Laura: Hello?
Anonymous: What's your favorite scary movie?
Laura turns herself as two children quickly hang up their phone and run away, giggling. Laura herself shares a slim smile as she finds it some humor. Even though she's ready to leave town, she's happy that at least the next generation is gonna make something positive out of it. Will they?
THE END
