Story 7

STORY IS HERE:
=== Chapter One: The Horror Festival ===
It’s late in the evening as a horror festival takes place in New York. Hundreds of horror fans walk through the park as many attractions and rides deliver horror content and amusement for the guests. Among those guests are the four friends Jeremiah, Zahra, Saphira and Maurits who are busy talking while enjoying some recently bought snacks.
Jeremiah: I watched that movie so many times!
Saphira: The Black Phone?! Ridiculous!
Jeremiah: I loved it. It’s like a psychosocial reverse movie. I was creeped out by it.
Zahra: You know what creeped me out.
She nods towards a gigantic house decorated in the style of The Nun.
Maurits: The Nun?
Zahra: I hated it with a burning passion. I was on the edge of my damn seat.
Saphira and Jeremiah grin towards each other.
Zahra: What’s that about?
Jeremiah: Well, Saph and I watched that one in theatres. We laughed our asses off.
Zahra doesn’t look impressed while Maurits starts to smile too.
Zahra: I guess we skip this one then?
As they continue to walk, they pass another big house. This time it’s decorated in Ghostface style.
Jeremiah: I love this franchise. The Bellody murders documentaries, The Kill movies … amazing!
Saphira: The Kill 2 was so much better than the original. I hope they’ll make a The Kill 3 soon. We should go inside though.
Zahra: Oh so now we’re going inside a house because majority rules? I actually liked The Nun house.
Maurits: We can do both. We have plenty of time.
Zahra rolls her eyes as Jeremiah buys four tickets to go inside. The four move inside as it’s empty inside in terms of people.
Maurits: Jeez, I expected to see more people in here.
The group notices a wall full of names with Ghostface victims. As Maurits, Saphira and Jeremiah continue to walk, Zahra stops as she looks at the list of victims.
Zahra: Graham, Neveah … Murgatroyd, Corwin … Davis, Zah-
She starts to read it closely as she sees her name on the wall. As she turns herself, she notices that the group is gone. She looks confused as walks through a hall.
Zahra: Guys?!!
She arrives at a place where multiple Ghostfaces are standing, each with a robe and mask from every single killer from the past six killing sprees. As she moves herself closer towards one of the costumes, she gets a call.
Zahra: Hello?
Anonymous: Hello, Zahra.
Zahra: Who’s this? Is this a joke?
Anonymous: Have you read my message for you?
Zahra: What is this kind of sick joke?!
Out of nowhere, someone moves towards Zahra, coming from behind the Ghostface costume, revealing it to be Maurits. Behind Zahra, Saphira and Jeremiah reveal themselves too.
Zahra: Bastards, I knew it.
Jeremiah looks around him.
Jeremiah: Have you seen the mask from the first killing spree? It was worn by Elton Jarvis.
Saphira: I bet you can smell it.
Zahra continues to look at her phone.
Zahra: Which one of you called me?
Maurits: Called you?
Zahra: Drop the act, you already got me. Which one of you called me? Listen, someone wrote my name on the Ghostface victims list on the wall at the entrance.
Saphira: I wanna see that!
Zahra: First tell me who the fuck called me?
Jeremiah: Calm down, Zahra. No one called you.
There's some suspense as Zahra looks from Jeremiah to Saphira to Maurits. It's quiet for some time.
Maurits: Let’s just continue?
Maurits, Jeremiah and Saphira decide to continue to walk as Zahra shrugs, following them. One of the Ghostface costumes moves, however, moving it’s head towards the direction the group is walking to.
The group then exits the house as Zahra looks at her friends.
Zahra: Hold up, I’m quickly going to the restroom.
She hurries inside the restroom as she takes a seat on the toilet, closing the door behind her as she first looks around. Her phone starts to ring again as soon as she got a little comfortable.
Zahra: Hello?
Anonymous: Have you enjoyed your trip in my museum? Quite a collection, isn’t it?
Zahra: Can I ask you a legit question? Who are you?
Anonymous: I’m the person who added your name to the list … Zahra.
Zahra looks at her phone, messaging her friends in their groupchat. There’s no response as no one reads the message.
Ghostface: Listen, Zahra, now that you’re at a horror festival let’s test your knowledge about horror trivia. But if you answer wrong, the list of Ghostface victims will be expanded.
Zahra: I’m not gonna do this. This is Maurits, I know it.
Ghostface: You haven’t seen The Kill did you?
Zahra: I actually did!
Ghostface: Then you should know that rejecting the game is an instant death. You sure you want to reject … Zahra?
Zahra: Bring on that stupid game of yours.
Zahra slowly opens her toilet door as she looks around her. As she sees no one, she then closes the door again.
Ghostface: Name all killers from The Kill and it’s sequel.
As the killer asks her this question, she immediately starts to think and name random names while starting to shake a little.
Zahra: Ehh … Joe Jagger ... Amber-Lynn ... the Forrester man, ehh ...
Ghostface: The Forrester man could be named for three different characters. Legit names.
Zahra: I don’t know …
Ghostface: Unfortunately for you, it means you lost the game.
Zahra: I don’t care, I’m done with you.
Zahra opens her toiletdoor but now comes eye to eye with Ghostface standing in the middle of the restroom. They jump at Zahra as they try to attack her. Zahra just misses a attack from the killer, quickly escaping the restroom from the back entrance as she's at a abandoned alley. She looks around and tries to run, looking after her as she sees no killer anymore. She continues to look at her phone then, calling her friends but no one seem to answer.
After some time of running, she’s part of the crowd again as she looks around, not seeing the killer anymore. As she turns herself, she clashes into a stranger.
Zahra: I’m sorry.
She keeps looking around but doesn’t see her friends anymore. She tries to call them again but there’s no sign.
Zahra: I’m not gonna be the dumb bitch that dies in these type of horror movies. I've had enough.
She exists the horror festival and runs through the streets, arriving at the metro station. Barely no one walks there. It doesn’t help that most lights are off as well. She keeps running around as she now arrives at a long hallway with almost no lights on. Her phone rings as she puts it on quiet. It keeps zooming, causing Zahra to pick it up.
Ghostface: Left the party early, did ya?
Zahra: What do you want from me?
She keeps looking around.
Ghostface: I've been in an pleasently good mood today so I'll give you one final shot at the game to survive.
Zahra: Well?
She's moving a corner as she sees a few platform directions. She sees where she needs to be.
Ghostface: Name the fastfood franchise that's known for submarine sandwiches.
Zahra knows they're hinting at the subway, which indicates they know where she is. Zahra ends the call and runs towards the platforms she needs to be at. She doesn't see anyone walking and just has to hope she's in time for her metro to arrive.
She arrives at the right platform as she gets a call again. Without answering it though, thinking it could be the killer, she steps in. She notices that no one's inside the metro except for herself. She then starts to mutter as the metro is still standing still.
Zahra: Come on ... go go go.
The metro starts to move as Zahra keeps looking around and as the metro goes. She then realizes that her phone zooms again. She closes her eyes, ready to hear the killer again as he probably stalked her to the metro-station.
Zahra: What?! Do you want to play another stupid game?
Saphira: Zahra?! Where the fuck are you? We’re looking for you. We went back into The Kill house but your name isn’t on the wall.
Zahra: You need to leave that festival! It’s dangerous there, someone tried to attack me.
Saphira: Seriously? You left?! We even went back inside The Kill house to look for you. Whatever, we'll come your way.
The scene switches over to Saphira, Jeremiah and Maurits who are all standing in the hall of The Kill house, surrounded by Ghostface costumes. Jeremiah looks around and notices something.
Jeremiah: Hey … weren’t there six costumes when we were here ten minutes ago?
Maurits and Saphira now look around as well.
Maurits: That’s odd. I see only five now.
Saphira: We gotta go. Zahra called me, apparently she was attacked by someone. Let's -
She then sees something moving.
Saphira: LOOK OUT!
The real Ghostface shows up behind Maurits, attacking him as he cuts his knife into Maurits’ arm. He then runs after Saphira and Jeremiah who both run towards the exit of the house. Saphira and Jeremiah separate through the crowd.
Saphira runs towards the restroom and takes the same exit that Zahra took. As she runs, she stumbles upon something and falls on the ground. She looks after her but doesn't see the killer. She decides to continue running and reaches the crowd from the other side.
Jeremiah's still standing in the crowd, looking for his friends.
Jeremiah: Saphira?!?! SAPHIRA! MAURITS!?
He starts to stress out as he looks around him. Multiple people dressed in Ghostface costumes pass him as Jeremiah dodges them. One Ghostface moves themselves towards Jeremiah and then disappears again. Jeremiah feels something itching and moves his hands towards his belly, only for him to see his hands covered in blood. He got stabbed.
Jeremiah tries to grab his phone but as he looks up, Ghostface stands in front of him while they’re both standing in a crowd. Before Jeremiah can scream for help, Ghostface stabs him in the heart. They keep looking at Jeremiah as he's losing conscious, fleeing the scene right after. Jeremiah drops on the ground as the people around him move, screaming. 
Saphira and Maurits arrive and look at their friend as he’s bleeding. Everyone starts to scream and panic as Jeremiah dies because of his wounds. The whole horror festival is in shock after Ghostface’s public attack.
DANGER 7
=== Chapter Two: New Victims Or New Suspects===
One week later …
The sun is shining in Bellody as the scene has moved to the police station of the town. In one of the meeting rooms, Saphira, Zahra and Maurits are sitting together, waiting for the sheriff to arrive to interrogate them.
Maurits: It’s ridiculous that we’re being treated as suspects rather than victims.
Zahra: I question that too as well. I wonder why it had to happen here … out of all places.
Maurits takes a deep sigh.
Maurits: I need to take care of my grandmother, she needs her medicines.
Saphira: How old is she again? 80? Just hire someone to check on her, the health insurance must refund that.
Maurits shrugs while Zahra taps with her fingers on the desk. At that moment, the sheriff arrives. A tall, rather young but mature guy walks in.
Kendrick: Goodmorning, I’m Kendrick Schneider, recently hired as the new sheriff of Bellody. Thank you for coming here. Because of your safety, we decided to bring you three here.
Zahra: To Bellody … where the killings are happening?
Kendrick smiles briefly.
Kendrick: Because the killer has killed your friend outside of our town, it’s enough evidence that the killer isn’t in Bellody and that’s why you three are safe here.
Saphira blinks.
Saphira: But the killer could just go to Bellody?
Kendrick: Any possible way to enter Bellody is blocked. We can assure you that.
Saphira, Zahra and Maurits gaze towards each other.
Kendrick: I get that this is a lot, this is also a lot for me. But we want the best for you three.
Zahra: How long is this gonna take?
Kendrick: We don’t know. We hope this ends as fast as possible.
Saphira: Where will we stay?
Kendrick: We have found a safehouse for you three to stay. One of the officers will bring you there.
Maurits, Zahra and Saphira look like they’re ready for a war as Kendrick lets them out of the meeting room. As they head out of the police station, Kendrick coughs.
Kendrick: Before you go, please make sure to let us know whenever you need help. Our officers are everywhere in town to provide the safety you all deserve. Stay safe.
Zahra: Thanks.
Kendrick: I gotta go now for a press conference. We’ll keep in touch!
Kendrick leaves while the three get ready to leave as well. They proceed to follow the officer that’s bringing them to the safehouse.
Saphira: How did we go from partying at a horror festival to being basically locked up in a town that’s been the inspiration for the Kill movies?
Maurits: I just don’t know why we’re in danger?
Zahra: We got attacked by Ghostface? Jeremiah died?! It’s not difficult to connect those events with each other. 
Maurits nods.
Maurits: I just don’t like the way we’ve been forced to drastically change our lives into this.
Zahra: They have-
She then gets interrupted by Saphira.
Saphira: They have no choice, I guess. They’re in this massive investigation because of that new killing spree that’s happening. And we’re basically pawns.
Maurits: Pawns?
Zahra frowns while Maurits starts to look more worried.
Saphira: We’re brought here so if the killer wants to kill us, they have a better chance at getting him. It’s just a matter of time until we get a call from the killer and get attacked by him.
Zahra and Maurits look at each other, not sure if they’re supposed to laugh at Saphira’s theory or be frightened.
=== Chapter Three: A New Sheriff In Town ===
At the center of Bellody, there’s a huge park as many residents of the town are waiting for the new detective to speak up to the villagers. It appears that Roxy and Emma are part of the crowd as well, looking around. Roxy notices the new sheriff arriving, looking a bit stressed as he walks to the stage, tapping the microphone.
Kendrick: Good afternoon everyone. I’m Kendrick Schneider, your new sheriff. I was deputy sheriff at Utalup, a town neaby and because of my experience I was given this spot.
He looks around.
Kendrick: I find it important to secure your safety while we’re dealing with a serial killer here. I’m more than proud to be the successor of Jalen McKenzie, someone who fought for this town and died as a hero.
As he looks around again, he notices Emma and Roxy looking at him. He takes a deep sigh.
Kendrick: From now on, I will make sure that everyone will be safe in this town. Especially the ones who have had to face this ruthless killer already. For questions, please contact me or my team. We’re now gonna fully focus on getting the killer.
Some noises can be heard as many residents want to ask questions. As Roxy moves herself a bit more forward, Emma looks confused.
Emma: What are you doing?
Roxy walks after the sheriff as Kendrick is making his way to his car. Emma tries to catch up too. Kendrick notices the two girls walking towards him.
Kendrick: I really gotta go, my appointment-
Roxy: That can wait. As you said, you’d make sure survivors of the killings would be protected even more so as the new sheriff you should take the time to listen to these people you want to protect.
Emma arrives as she hears the snarky tone Roxy has to Kendrick, blushing.
Emma: What she means is-
Roxy: You’re the successor of Jalen. And you’re wearing his uniform. Do you think you’re capable of leading this town?
Kendrick: If I’m correct, you were the sheriff here once too. Why were you resigned?
Roxy: Familair with the phrase … none of your business? I was the one who asked you a question.
Emma looks kinda awkward as she slowly pulls Roxy’s sleeve. She then looks at Kendrick.
Emma: It’s been a hard time for us. We keep getting confronted with this killer. We just want to end this.
Kendrick: I know and I will do my best to help. But that will come. We’ll take action as soon as we get reports that the killer is active again. But ever since Flynn Fosters and Casper Shelton were declared dead, no other murders have happened. I hope you understand.
While Emma nods, Roxy glares at him.
Roxy: Goodluck leading this town. You’ll need it.
She walks away as Kendrick looks after her. He shrugs, stepping back in his car while Emma follows Roxy again.
Emma: He’s trying his best. He has no idea where he got himself into and now he’s faced with this town’s past, I find it pretty brave he stays instead of running away.
Roxy: This should’ve been Jalen’s job. He took it from me and if I didn’t fuck it up back then he wouldn’t have died.
Emma grabs Roxy’s shoulder.
Emma: We’ve had this talk already. This isn’t your fault. Let Kendrick take it from here, okay?
Roxy’s phone rings then as she picks it up.
Roxy: Hello? … Yeah? … Fuck, I knew it … Thanks.
Emma looks curious.
Roxy: That was Allen. Apparently one random kid got killed by Ghostface last week in a different town. So much for a lockdown, huh?
She rolls her eyes as she heads away as Emma follows her again.
--
Zahra, Maurits and Saphira are inside their safe house. While Maurits lays on the couch, Zahra walks around. She looks at Saphira whatsapping with someone.
Zahra: Weren’t we told to turn our phones off in case the killer tracks us down?
Saphira: My family wants to know where I am. So I told them.
Zahra frowns.
Zahra: Why’d you tell them where we are? What if they’ve got something to do with the murder of Jeremiah?
Saphira stands up and looks slightly offended.
Saphira: You’re suspecting my family of being the killer?
Zahra: No but we’re in a situation now where we have to start thinking about every single possibility unfortunately.
Maurits looks at the two girls arguing.
Maurits: She got a point. We’re basically living in the real version of The Kill now so we need to go through every single possibility.
Saphira rolls her eyes and grabs her phone. She holds it in the air as she locks it, turning it off.
Saphira: There you go. Better be something good on TV now.
Zahra and Maurits glare towards each other.
=== Chapter Four: Reunion Of The Survivors ===
At a house nearby the mall, two officers walk around as they're non-stop checking on possible intruders. Inside, Bruce, Paige and Vicky are sitting together as they're watching some television. Vicky's on her phone as she gasps.
Vicky: Seems like there's a new victim.
Bruce and Paige look up immediately.
Vicky: Jeremiah Stone, eighteen years old. Died at a horror festival park. Killed by someone dressed in a Ghostface costume. Three other people were attacked and stated that one of them was called by the killer.
Bruce: This is good news, right?
Now Vicky and Paige look at him.
Bruce: What? Isn't it true? I mean, we were waiting for the killer to show themselves again right? And they're now out of town which means we're safe.
Vicky: No we're not.
Bruce and Paige ironically look back at Vicky.
Vicky: There are two killers left. One of them could be killing outside Bellody, the other one inside Bellody. And you're not gonna tell me there's no way to enter this town.
Bruce: But the fact that the killer is active means we can end this either sooner or later. Right?
Vicky shrugs. She then looks at Paige.
Vicky: You've been quiet.
Paige: I just want this to be over.
Vicky: Don't we all?
Paige glares at Vicky.
Paige: I just want to live my normal life again. All my friends are dead, whether they were a killer or a victim. My parents died. I have literally no one left.
Bruce blinks.
Bruce: We got each other.
Paige rolls her eyes as Emma and Roxy arrive, closing the door behind them immediately.
Bruce: How'd it go?
While Roxy rushes upstairs, Emma takes a seat with the group.
Emma: We got a new sheriff. Kendrick Schneider. He appears to be very supportive of us as survivors of Ghostface but the more he talked the less ... comforting he sounded. Roxy isn't a fan of him at all.
Bruce: Hmm, alright. Well it seems like there was a new victim so we should catch the killer soon.
Emma: Hope so.
She looks at Paige then.
Emma: Are you okay?
Paige rolls her eyes as she stands up dramatically.
Paige: Gosh! I can't wait to get my privacy back. I'm so freaking tired of all this shit.
Bruce and Vicky raise an eyebrow while Emma looks like she understands Paige.
Emma: I get it. I hope it ends soon too.
Roxy then returns from upstairs as she looks at the group.
Roxy: I don't trust that sheriff guy. Kendrick. He's giving me weird vibes.
Bruce looks around him.
Bruce: Where's Laura?
Emma: Oh she's saying g-
Roxy kicks her, causing some confused reactions as Emma nods, scratching her head.
Emma: Doing some stuff. She should be here soon.
Roxy then takes a look around her again.
Roxy: Where's Allen though?
Bruce looks up almost immediately.
Bruce: He went to one of the entrances of Bellody. A friend of his apparently was about to arrive so he went there so that friend wouldn't have trouble getting in.
Emma and Roxy look immediately at each other.
Emma: That is suspicious.
--
At one of the corners of Bellody, Allen is standing there as some officers walk around. Someone then arrives in a car as it's revealed to be Lennox Campbell, a former friend of Allen and past Ghostface survivor. Lennox walk towards him as some officers sign him to wait. Allen steps in immediately.
Allen: It's fine. I discussed this with sheriff Schneider. He's a past Ghostface survivor.
The officers nod as Lennox enters town.
Lennox: Allen frickin' Wood. The scared puppy turned into a fierce bulldog.
Allen puts on a smile.
Allen: It's good to have you back.
Lennox: I heard about the killings. Jeez, they don't stick with Bellody residents only anymore do they?
Allen: Nope. A bunch of new victims have been brutually murdered. But we've been informed that the past survivors are the actual targets. And since you're in that category too, I brought you here.
Lennox nods.
Lennox: Alright then. I am safe here though? Right?
Allen: Mhm.
Lennox: Because if not, I'll drag you with me into my grave.
Allen rolls his eyes.
Allen: Let's meet the other survivors. I'm sure they'll like you instantly.
His sarcasm doesn't hit Lennox, who just feels happy to be part of the group. Allen nods towards some officers as they walk away.
=== Chapter Five: Innocence Is Hard To Find ===
At the safehouse, Zahra is sleeping in her bedroom as she's having a nightmare. She's walking in the same alley she walked through last week, however, this time Ghostface is running after her. She doesn't reach the crowd and gets dragged down by them. As they reach out to kill her, Zahra slowly wakes up. She rubs her eyes as she hears some talking. She stands up, walking to the hall as it's coming from Maurits' room.
Maurits: No, she doesn't know anything about it ... I'll keep that for later ...
Zahra frowns as she puts her ear onto the door.
Maurits: I'm sure no one knows. I'd like to keep it that way.
Zahra gets the feeling that Maurits might be speaking to his accomplice as he's the killer. She abruptedly opens the door, looking at him. Maurits looks frightened.
Maurits: Holy damn shit, Zahra?! What are you doing?
Zahra: Who is that on the phone? Who doesn't know anything about what? That you were the killer?!
She walks towards Maurits as she grabs his phone.
Maurits: What the fuck, Zahra?!?! That's my grandmother?!
Zahra glares as she holds the phone to her ear.
Zahra: So I'm speaking to Maurits' grandma?
She hears an elderly lady speaking then.
Grandmother: Yes dear. May I speak to Maurits again?
Zahra blushes as she gives back the phone to Maurits.
Zahra: But what do you mean with no one knows about anything?!
Maurits: My grandma wanted to know if my mother or any other family member knows about what happened at the festival. I don't want them to know because they'd come here and that'd be too dangerous.
Zahra: Alright then.
Saphira arrives at the room, looking confused.
Saphira: I heard you two arguing. What's going on?
Maurits: Zahra thought that I was calling with my possible accomplice.
Saphira looks at Zahra immediately.
Saphira: What is your problem, Zahra? Are you just gonna accuse every single person? That's not gonna help you.
Zahra: Saphira, I might not be an expert of The Kill series but I know that it's the same formula. It's always someone you know so it could be anyone.
Both Saphira and Maurits look at Zahra.
Maurits: Look, Zahra, I get that you wanna find out who the killer is but that's not the way it works. We're in this together, we've all lost a dear friend and got almost butchered. Let's support each other instead of taking each other down.
Zahra shrugs.
Zahra: I just want to be alert.
Someone then knocks on the door. Zahra, Saphira and Maurits walk downstairs as Zahra walks towards the door.
Zahra: Who's there?
Kendrick: Sheriff Schneider.
Remembering his voice, Zahra opens the door and lets Kendrick in as he looks at the three.
Kendrick: Received any phone calls so far? Or any other form of contact with the killer?
The three shake their head.
Kendrick: Alright. Well, after discussing it with my team I think it's best to meet the other survivors of the Ghostface killings. So you get an idea of who's who.
Saphira: So we have to leave again?
Kendrick: Not for long.
Zahra shakes her head.
Zahra: Nah, that's not a good idea. If we go there, the killer could go inside the house. They await us until we sleep and then we get killed.
Saphira: Okay that's a good catch to be honest.
Kendrick smiles.
Kendrick: There'll be plenty of officers walking around the house. No one's gonna get in without getting noticed. We know what we're doing.
Maurits: Are you gonna stay with us here then tonight?
Kendrick smiles.
Kendrick: No. But I'll make sure you get the protection you need. I want you three to return before it gets dark so let's go.
While Kendrick walks back outside, the three friends look at each other.
Zahra: Guess we got no choice.
Maurits: Whatever happens. We stick together.
The two girls nod as they follow Kendrick.
=== Chapter Six: New Page In The History Book ===
The group is sitting together at the house as it's slowly starting to get evening. Vicky just ordered takeaway as someone knocks on the door. Emma, sitting closest, stands up.
Emma: Who is it?
Allen: It's me!
Recognizing his voice, Emma opens the door as she lets Allen and Lennox in. Bruce, Vicky, Paige and Roxy all look at the two as they don't know Lennox.
Bruce: Who is that?
Allen: This is Lennox. They use the pronouns they and them.
Lennox: Not anymore. I'm just a he.
He looks at the group as the situation is a bit awkward.
Lennox: We share some ... history I guess? We're all Ghostface survivors.
Roxy focuses on Lennox.
Roxy: Allen has dropped your name before yeah.
Lennox smiles as he looks at Allen.
Lennox: Little puppy with a fear of killers turned into a pitbull with no fear!
Allen glares as he doesn't like the way Lennox is talking towards him.
Allen: At least I didn't flee and got my ass out there to catch the killer back in the day.
Lennox: I was smart to stay out of it and not die.
Allen: May I remind you that Wyatt died back then?
Lennox blinks.
Vicky: Ouch ...
Someone knocks on the door again. Lennox opens the door, without thinking, and looks at the takeaway employee. Vicky walks to the door.
Vicky: Thank you.
While she closes the door and getting the food ready, Allen glares at Lennox.
Allen: For your interest, we don't just open the door for strangers. We first ask for their names.
Lennox nods as he walks towards the table. While Vicky and Bruce grab the food, Emma keeps looking at Paige. She decides to walk to her and sit next to her.
Emma: You're sure you don't wanna talk?
Paige: I rather do not indeed.
Emma: I understand. But know that I'm here for you. I know how helpful it is to have someone to listen to you through these difficult times.
Paige nods.
Emma: Just let me know if I can do something for you.
Once again, someone knocks on the door. Emma looks up immediately.
Emma: I'm getting deja vu.
Allen walks to the door as he looks determined.
Allen: Name?
Kendrick: It's sheriff Schneider. Please open the door.
Allen does so and lets Kendrick in, assisted by Zahra, Saphira and Maurits. The group looks surprised once again while Vicky looks at the table of food.
Vicky: This is not gonna be enough for all of us unfortunately.
Bruce grins.
Kendrick: Hello everyone. I thought this would be the perfect moment to introduce you to Zahra Davis, Saphira Damen and Maurits Grint. They survived the attack from Ghostface at the horror festival.
Emma walks towards the three.
Emma: Welcome, hope you're all doing fine?
Maurits: Not really but we'll get there.
Zahra looks at everyone.
Zahra: So you've all been attacked by Ghostface before?
They nod as Saphira sighs.
Saphira: Of course they are. You really haven't watched The Kill and The Kill 2 did you? I hope there's gonna be a third movie.
Her comment makes some people of the group glare at her. Maurits notices this and grins.
Maurits: Excuse her, please. Being tactful isn't a character trait Saphira owns.
Allen: It's fine, we all know people like that.
He glares at Lennox while he's eating some food. Roxy then looks at Kendrick.
Roxy: So, what's the plan now? You want to unite all the survivors together I suppose?
Kendrick: At least the majority so we can prevent Ghostface from killing people.
Roxy: You're new to this indeed.
Kendrick frowns.
Roxy: We want to killer to be caught but if they can't strike, there's no way to catch them. If everyone's together all the time, there's no possibility to get him.
Zahra: So are you suggesting for us to leave again so we can be used as bait?
Paige: Oh you're bait anyways.
Everyone now looks at Paige.
Paige: I didn't lie did I?
Zahra: I wanna go back home. Now.
Kendrick looks worried.
Kendrick: You can't, I'm sorry. I need everyone to stay in this town. It's now time to get all the survivors here and come up with a plan.
Allen walks towards his phone that's laying on the table as Lennox keeps eating.
Allen: I'll inform Selene and her son Winston.
Lennox looks up immediately.
Lennox: Selene?! How is she doing?
Allen: You'll find out soon. I'm gonna call her.
=== Chapter Seven: Ghostface Back In Bellody ===
It's sunset as the scene moves towards the Shelton house. Inside, Selene is cleaning the livingroom while Winston is playing on his Nintendo Switch. Selene's phone rings as she picks it up.
Selene: Hello?
Allen: Hey, it's me. Allen. We need you and Winston to come to the safe house as soon as possible.
Selene looks at Winston as he's standing up.
Winston: What's wrong?
Selene: Nothing sweetheart.
She then focuses back on her phone call.
Selene: We'll be there.
Lennox takes over the phone from Allen.
Lennox: Oh my god Selene, it's me! Lennox! How have you been?
Selene: Lennox, what a surprise. It's good to hear your voice again. Things have been rocky and I hope to end that soon.
Lennox: Same.
Meanwhile Winston is packing his things as Selene realizes she needs to hurry.
Selene: I can't wait to catch up. See you soon!
Lennox: See you soon girly!
Selene hangs up as Winston's already standing at the frontdoor.
Winston: Seems like we're heading towards their place?
Selene: I really wanna finish cleaning before we go. I can't just leave it like this.
Both Winston and his mother look around the room.
Winston: Eh, it's fine mom. Can we just go? Otherwise I'll just walk.
Selene: You can go. Just be careful and get your phone ready to call 911 when you need to.
Winston nods.
Selene: You got the pepperspray, kitchen knife and rocks in your bags?
Winston: Yeah mom. With all the stuff I have I could knock out an entire rugby team.
Selene smiles as she hugs her son, kissing him on his forehead. He leaves through the frontdoor as Selene closes the door behind him. She returns to the livingroom as she continues to clean. She checks her phone and looks at the security system, noticing that all doors are locked. She turns on some music while cleaning the house.
Her phone then rings. Selene turns the music off as she picks up her phone.
Selene: Hello?
Ghostface: Hello, Selene.
Selene looks sharp, immediately.
Selene: I know you.
Ghostface: Do you like horror movies?
Selene: No, I don't. It makes me vomit. Just like this phone call.
Ghostface: Oh poor Selene, of course you don't like horror movies. Rule one, never answer the phone.
Selene sighs.
Selene: I'm gonna hang up.
Ghostface: I wouldn't do that if I were you. Let's have a fun chat. Between you and me.
Selene starts to shake.
Ghostface: Open the front door.
The threatening words of the killer cause Selene to walk to the hall as she looks at the frontdoor. Behind the glass, the mask of Ghostface is visible. Selene takes a few steps behind while staring at the killer. The killer apparently has seen Selene as well, lifting their face up.
Selene: Why would I let you inside? Give me one fucking reason.
Ghostface: If you don't, I'll simply cut your son's throat.
While Selene has tears in her eyes, looking in disgust, the killer laughs.
Ghostface: What kind of mother lets her child walking through ghost town with an active serial killer on the run. You're not very smart, are you?
While Ghostface continues to taunt Selene, she's quickly messaging Winston and asks him if he's doing okay. When she wants to message sheriff Schneider, she gets an pop-up from the security app. The frontdoor has been unlocked.
Ghostface: Final chance. Are you letting me in? Or should I let myself in?
Selene quickly locks the door through the app again, moving slowly forward the frontdoor as she doesn't have an message from Winston back. Selene breathes heavily as she's shaking a lot. She moves her hand back to her phone, ready to unlock the door. But then, Winston messages her back that he's almost at the safe house. Selene looks up and notices that Ghostface is gone.
Selene: You lied! Winston is doing okay. You're trying to trick me.
She rushes to the kitchen, grabbing a knife.
Ghostface: You passed the first test. But I won't make it that easy for you, Selene. If you want to survive, you'll have to be very skilled. And I doubt you are.
Selene: You think? I've survived an Ghostface attack before.
Ghostface: But not a attack from me, Selene. My predecessors have done great, but not perfect. So I returned to finish the job. No one gets away when I start haunting my prey. And you, my dear Selene, won't be lucky either.
Selene: Oh yeah?! Let's see about that.
She sees on her phone that the door through the balcony is unlocked, which means the killer should be upstairs. Selene decides to unlock the front door. She opens it, only for Ghostface to pop up there. They slam their knife towards Selene, nearly hitting her. Selene closes the door, running inside as she quickly tries to unlock the doors. She drops her phone, which she can't grab as Ghostface has entered the house as well.
Selene runs upstairs and waits in her bedroom. She looks through a tiny hole and notices Ghostface walking around. Selene tries to keep herself quiet as she waits for a chance to escape. When she doesn't see Ghostface anymore, she walks towards the hall and then downstairs. She looks into the livingroom, no one's there. She then looks at the kitchen, once again no one's there. When she turns herself, she sees Ghostface standing in the hall. She rushes towards the livingroom and hides behind a wall.
Ghostface enters the room, looking around. Selene knows that the only way for her to escape is to attack the killer. Selene holds onto her knife as she slowly passes towards Ghostface. She swings with her knife, ready to attack the killer, only for them to turn and instead push their knife through Selene's stomach. She drops on the ground as Ghostface kneels.
Selene has tears in her eyes as she looks at Ghostface.
Selene: Did ... did ... did you really ... kill my son ... ?
Ghostface moves their head, turning on their voice changer.
Ghostface: That's something you'll never find out. Farewell ... Selene.
Ghostface pushes their knife through Selene again, this time hitting her heart. Selene's eyes don't move anymore as she died. Ghostface moves themselves away from her body, leaving the house.
=== Chapter Eight: The Legacy Continues ===
It’s getting dark as Winston arrives at the safe house where the rest of the crowd has nestled themselves. He knocks on the door as Kendrick opens the door, letting him in.
Kendrick: Good to see you, where’s your mother?
Winston: She’s coming. She had to clean some stuff or something.
He walks towards the group as he notices Allen and Lennox. Winston glares as he doesn’t know Lennox at all.
Winston: Who's this?
Lennox: I’m a friend of your mother’s. She probably mentioned me a lot. I’m Lennox!
Winston: Never heard of that name.
Allen tries to hold his laughter while Lennox glares. Winston decides to take a seat with Vicky and Bruce, now noticing Zahra, Saphira and Maurits.
Winston: More new people.
Zahra: How many more people will come here? And also, how long do we need to stay here?
Kendrick looks at her.
Kendrick: I’m currently in talks with some of the FBI to see if we can do anything about it and move to you to another safe house but it’s not safe to do that.
Roxy, who has been quiet for some time, stands up and looks at Kendrick.
Roxy: Can I just say that I find it odd that we’re all forced to stay here while a killer is on the run, waiting to slaughter us one by one. We’re just postponing the actual deed.
Kendrick: So you want me to send you to the street and get killed?
Roxy: No but let us at least come up with a damn plan.
Kendrick: You’re not in charge of this situation. Since I am, I will decide what’s good for the group. Got it?
Winston blinks while listening to the two arguing.
Winston: Jeez … that’s fun. Where’s Paige by the way?
Vicky: She’s with Emma. Upstairs. She’s not being herself right now.
Winston: Awe that sucks.
Then, Kendrick’s phone starts to ring. As he picks it up, he looks around.
Kendrick: Gotta take this one. I’ll be back soon.
Kendrick leaves the house, causing Roxy to roll her eyes. Zahra looks at Saphira and Maurits.
Zahra: I think it’s time that we’re leaving.
Saphira: Are you sure? Didn’t the sheriff -
Zahra: He can turn the world upside down, I don’t care. Our lives have been directed since last week and that’s been enough.
Maurits looks like he’s agreeing while Saphira blushes, especially since everyone is looking at the trio.
Saphira: Don’t.
Zahra grabs her jacket as she moves to the hall. Allen grabs her arm.
Allen: It’s too risky to do that. Trust me.
Zahra: Mind your own business. I’ve seen enough creeps in my life, I can handle this motherfucker. Trust me.
Allen let’s go of Zahra’s arm, shrugging. She decides to enter the hall and close the door behind her as she hears someone crying upstairs. She listens carefully as it seems to be Paige. Her phone then rings, causing for a jumpscare as she answers the phone.
Zahra: Hello?
Ghostface: Hello, Zahra. Did you miss hearing my voice?
Zahra: How clever. Listen, I’m not scared like all the others are. You think you can run over us and impact our lives but that’s not how it goes.
She’s opening the frontdoor, noticing that the two bodyguards are missing. She frowns.
Ghostface: Big words for a little girl like you. I’m sure my knife will cut you in half very easily.
Zahra: Come up with something new please.
Ghostface: You see, Zahra, this is going to be my movie and when I -
At that moment, the phone gets taken out of Zahra’s hand as another jumpscare happens. Zahra immediately turns around as she sees who took her phone.
Laura: Play time is over. I’m here.
It’s Laura Cabbage, having returned to Bellody. She signs Zahra to walk back inside as the two ladies do so, closing the door behind them.
Ghostface: Well well, if it isn’t the legacy character herself.
Laura: Spot on.
Ghostface: Are you ready to die? Listen-
Laura: No, you listen. This time we’re switching roles. It’s time for you to get ready to die and to meet your predecessors back in hell where I put them. Do yourselves a favor and delete that voicechanger app already because in no time I will find out who you are and put an end to you and your nasty killings.
Ghostface: Seems l-
Without holding back, Laura ends the call and gives the phone back to Zahra as she entered the room, causing a big reaction. Everyone’s surprised and happy to see Laura again. She gets a hug from everyone. Roxy walks to her, starting to whisper.
Roxy: Are they safe?
The two ladies don’t share the names of Zach and Willow, Laura’s husband and daughter, to prevent them of being targeted.
Laura: They are. How are things here?
Roxy: It’s going slow, but we’re fine. I loved how you snapped at the killer in that phone call.
The door gets opened again as Kendrick arrives, alongside two police officers. Roxy glares at him.
Roxy: The minute you leave someone gets called by the killer. Care to explain?
Kendrick: I’m afraid I have some bad news for you all.
He notices Laura, starting to blush a bit as he continues quickly.
Kendrick: Ghostface has been located in Bellody, unfortunately. They have made another victim.
Allen: Who?
Kendrick looks at Winston.
Kendrick: Selene Shelton.
=== Chapter Nine: The Confrontation ===
Emma and Paige are sitting upstairs as Emma has taken Paige aside to talk about the current events. Paige’s on her phone as she’s scrolling down pictures she made with her deceased friends. Emma looks at the phone screen.
Emma: I know how you feel.
Paige looks at Emma.
Paige: In just one year, my life has changed so much. I don’t have my parents anymore, my boyfriend tried to kill me and all my friends except for Winston are dead.
Emma: I relate to that. My family died too.
Paige: It’s so fucking unfair.
Emma nods. She places her hand on Paige’s shoulder.
Emma: We’re all in the same position now and that’s why we have to keep talking and bonding to unite ourselves. And honestly, I think you’re doing an amazing job.
Paige has tears in her eyes as she looks at a photo of her and her parents.
Paige: Thanks …
The two ladies hear a lot of noises coming from downstairs as they decide to stand up.
At the livingroom, Winston is panicking and gets comforted by Vicky and Bruce while Roxy, Allen, Lennox and Laura look worried. Zahra, Saphira and Maurits look clueless.
Allen: Are you sure it was Selene?
Kendrick: It is confirmed. She was identified by her neighbour. The killer left a note too.
He then looks at Laura as he hands it over to her. She looks at it as it says the following.
“The past is about to come back to you and you will regret that you didn’t die twenty years ago.”
Roxy grabs the note as she reads it, looking disgusted. Kendrick looks at both ladies, then focusing on Laura who doesn’t care about the note.
Kendrick: The minute you’re back in town everything goes bad. I had it all under control.
Before anyone can respond, Roxy punches Kendrick in the face.
Roxy: You deserved that. Asshole.
Paige and Emma just arrived downstairs as Emma notices Laura immediately, rushing over to her as they share a hug while Paige looks confused as to why Roxy hit Kendrick.
Paige: Why did you hit the sheriff?
Roxy: Kendrick just accused Laura of indirectly causing Selene’s murder while HE is the suspicious one here.
Paige walks to Winston and strokes his back while Vicky stands up.
Vicky: We didn’t even ask for us to get basically locked up until the killer makes his move. I think it’s time for the sheriff to get his stuff and leave.
Kendrick grins.
Kendrick: I’m fine with that. I can just leave you all here and don’t care about any of you anymore.
While Kendrick gets ready to leave, both Allen and Roxy walk towards him.
Allen: Yeah … you’re not going by yourself. If you’re the killer then you could easily pull off something sketchy.
Roxy: Just what I wanted to say. Wherever you go, wannabe sheriff, we’ll follow you.
Kendrick grins.
Kendrick: Fine. You can join me.
As the three get ready to leave, Emma walks towards the two and shares a hug with Roxy.
Emma: Be careful okay?
Roxy: You should know me by now.
Emma: Yes … that’s why I’m asking that.
Zahra then stands up.
Zahra: And what are we supposed to do? Just wait here again? Like what the fuck do we need to do.
Allen: Just wait please. We need to figure out how to work from here. Whatever you do, stick together!
Allen, Roxy and Kendrick leave the house as the others decide to take a seat. Vicky and Bruce decide to take Winston upstairs and comfort him while Zahra, Saphira, Maurits, Lennox, Paige, Emma and Laura are sitting in the livingroom. Emma then looks at Laura.
Emma: Is everything under control at your home?
Laura: It is. They’re safe. I won’t dive into that too much if you don’t mind.
Maurits looks very interested.
Maurits: May I ask how you’re still looking so good while fighting these killers for twenty years or so.
Zahra kicks him from under the table.
Maurits: What?!
Saphira: And you said I wasn’t tactful … idiot.
Zahra glares at Maurits.
Zahra: Don’t mind him. But I’m intrigued, how do you pull through?
Laura: I asked myself that too. Multiple times. You know, I’ve let these killers direct my life for too long. I realized that two years ago when I returned to Bellody to catch the killer.
Emma: And when we met!
The two women smile briefly towards each other.
Laura: I always said that, living the life I live, I would never attach myself to people too much. To prevent them from getting hurt. But something snapped and I convinced myself that I’d not let the ghosts from my past take over my life anymore. So I started to put it past me and continue on the things I love in life and it has helped me getting to the point where I’m standing now.
Everyone’s silent for some time.
Saphira: That’s actually … very inspiring.
Maurits: I agree. But, if you say that you stopped letting the killer directing your life, then why are we stuck here?
Laura: To make sure you’re gonna stay alive.
She stands up as she’s preparing some tea.
Laura: If we don’t stick together, the killer will get the upper hand. We need to have control over the situation. I don’t think we should be isolated either but as long as that’s the plan, we gotta stick with it.
Emma notices that Paige is tearing up again. She’s stroking her back. Paige walks upstairs, causing Emma to look disappointed.
Maurits then looks at Lennox.
Maurits: And what’s your part to this story?
Lennox: I — ehh, I was attacked by Ghostface in the past too. Not really attacked but yeah — I’m a Survivor. And that’s why I was brought here.
Saphira: But if you were never attacked nor targeted by the killer … then how are you even a target now?
Lennox: Don’t fucking ask me! Allen brought me here! So bitch on someone else but not me.
Saphira, Maurits and Zahra grin towards each other while Paige returns to the livingroom, frustrated.
Paige: UGH! The urn of my parents is still at my house! I really need it.
Lennox: Why’d you —
He notices some people looking at him.
Lennox: Nevermind, there’s not much I can do right at the moment anyways.
Emma stands up.
Emma: You need their urn to feel more comfortable right?
Paige nods.
Emma: Let’s get it.
Laura: No, I’ll go with her.
Emma looks confused.
Emma: Why? Okay I don't have my drivers license but we're in a serious situation.
Laura grabs her jacket as she’s walking to Emma, stroking her arm as she smiles.
Laura: If the killer appears, I can finish them immediately. I want you to be safe so stay here with the rest. Okay?
Emma: Alright. Be careful you two.
As Paige and Laura leave, Emma looks at Lennox, Zahra, Saphira and Maurits who are still sitting in the livingroom, looking at Emma.
=== Chapter Ten: Vicarious Feelings ===
Kendrick, Roxy and Allen arrive at the police station as Kendrick turns the lights on. He grabs some files while Allen and Roxy share a quick gaze towards each other. Roxy then steps into a slice of pizza, looking irritated.
Roxy: Jeez, y'all need to get someone to clean the mess.
Kendrick looks up, sharing a small grin.
Kendrick: The office is quite abandoned because ...
Allen: Everyone left.
Allen looks at a message that's pinned against the wall, grabbing it as Kendrick reads it out loud.
Kendrick: It seems like you've got this all under control, sheriff. We're leaving town as we have children to feed. Let us know if you need something. Your team.
Kendrick sighs, throwing away the note as Roxy senses some genuine emotions.
Kendrick: No one can be trusted in this goddamn ghost town. I know why they left. I don't even blame them for leaving.
He then looks at Allen and Roxy as he has some tears in his eyes.
Kendrick: Why is it that you two are still here? Why don't you grab your stuff and take the first plane to Ibiza to never be seen again?
Allen: Because running isn't an option. I've struggled alot with the Ghostface killings as I had an extreme fear for serial killers and all that crap. But seeing my friends getting killed has woken up some sort of anger that doesn't die down until everyone that puts that mask on is dead.
Kendrick looks impressed, now looking at Roxy.
Roxy: Allen's right. These killings won't stop by moving to the other side of the world. As you see, the people responsible for keeping the town safe have shitted their pants and left town, leaving a fucking pizza slice in the process.
Kendrick smiles.
Kendrick: I'm sorry if I have pushed you guys too hard. I just want this to be over so we can all sleep peacefully at night again.
Roxy: I might have judged too fast.
Allen looks at the two as he senses something going on between the two.
Allen: I'm gonna call the others and check on them.
As Allen walks towards the other side of the office, Kendrick takes a few steps into Roxy's direction.
Kendrick: I know you've been through this for many times already, same for Allen and Laura. And I -
Roxy: You know that it's very suspicious to work on my emotions right now huh? And that showing compasion towards us only gives me more reason to believe you're the killer?
Kendrick blushes.
Roxy: Nah, you're good. This killer doesn't show their cards so easily, even though I've been wrong with my theories in the past ... 
Kendrick: Trust me, please.
Roxy: I will.
At the safehouse, Emma ends her call with Allen.
Emma: That was Allen, it seems like they had a good talk with Kendrick and they're coming back soon.
She then looks at Zahra, Saphira and Maurits who are packing their stuff as Emma frowns.
Emma: What are you doing?!
Zahra: We're leaving.
Emma: You can't leave?!?! We're in serious danger. He could be standing behind the frontdoor.
Zahra: I don't care anymore. I know we're in danger and all but this isn't helping either. We need to split up to make sure the killer can track us down and try to make a move.
Maurits and Saphira walk towards Zahra.
Maurits: Alright, let's go.
Emma looks at Bruce and Vicky, who are sitting in their chairs.
Emma: You're not gonna say something?
Bruce: If they want to go, they want to go. As long as they don't drag me into their grave, I'm fine with it.
Emma now looks at Vicky.
Vicky: Sorry girl but I ain't risking my life for the newbies either.
Emma rolls her eyes. As Zahra wants to pass her, she grabs her arm.
Emma: Please think twice before going. I've seen people make rational moves like you do and I can tell you that they're not with us anymore.
Zahra pulls her arm back.
Zahra: Then that's your problem. We are leaving.
Zahra walks towards the frontdoor as Maurits and Saphira follow her, closing the door. Emma scratches her head as Winston walks towards her, stroking her back.
Winston: Maybe they're right. My mother was all by herself and she became the target. People who are alone will be targeted and if we just stick together, nothing's going to happen.
Emma: I get that but they should've had someone with them that has experience with these kills.
Winston: Is there anything I can do?
Emma smiles.
Emma: Stay here. That's all I ask for.
She looks concerned over the people remaining in the safehouse as it's just her, Winston, Vicky, Bruce and Lennox left.
=== Chapter Eleven: Reliving the Past With The Mask ===
Zahra, Saphira and Maurits arrive at their safehouse as Maurits quickly locks the door behind him. Saphira and Zahra share a quick gaze as they each grab their phones, turning their flashlight on.
Saphira: Let's investigate the house before we go into chill mode.
Zahra: Good idea.
The two friends walk through the house as they check every room, checking if someone's hiding there. They enter every room, which causes for some suspension. Saphira then looks behind her, frowning.
Saphira: I don't hear Maurits anymore. MAURITS?!
No sign.
Saphira: This room is empty, stay here and I'm gonna find Maurits.
She quickly leaves the room, closing the door behind her. Zahra decides to take a seat as her phone rings, picking it up immediately.
Zahra: Hello?
Ghostface: Hello, Zahra. Our last conversation was abruptedly ended. I'm not quite done with you, yet.
Zahra: Why don't you make your move, huh? You're too scared to actually do something. Oh yeah, you kill a innocent woman who's all by herself. You're not in for a challenge, are ya?
Ghostface: Big words for a weak bitch like you. You really want to challenge me?
Zahra: Like I said, you're too scared to show your face.
Some laughing can be heard from the other line as Zahra stares at the door.
Zahra: So where are you?
Ghostface: Do you really wanna know where I am? ... Zahra?
Zahra: I do, otherwise I wouldn't have asked for it.
At that moment, someone knocks heavily on the window behind Zahra. Zahra drops her phone as she gets scared, looking at Saphira waving at her. Zahra opens the window.
Zahra: What are you doing outside?!
Saphira: Maurits locked himself out of the house when he wanted to check on something and then I did the same thing. Can you open the door?
Zahra glares.
Zahra: So ... Maurits went outside while he locked the doors and then you went outside and locked yourself out as well? Where's Maurits then?
Saphira: He was just here.
Zahra: I don't believe it.
Saphira raises her eyebrows.
Saphira: Excuse me?! You think I'm the killer now?! Or Maurits? Or do you think I killed Maurits?! You were the one who wanted to leave the safehouse though!
Zahra: I'm sorry ...
Zahra takes some steps back towards the wall as she keeps looking at Saphira, standing outside.
Laura and Paige arrive at Paige's house as the car stops, having Paige opening the door.
Laura: You want me to come with you?
Paige shakes her head.
Paige: I'll be back in a few.
While Paige closes the door to go inside her house, Laura stays in the car and locks the door as she continues to look around her. Paige has made her way in and walks upstairs to grab her diary as she gets a phone call, picking it up.
Paige: Hi?
Ghostface: You don't learn from your past mistakes, do you?
Paige wants to walk out of the room as she stands still, standing in front of Ghostface as they wave at her.
Paige: Please ... let me leave. I was planning on grabbing my stuff to leave but I couldn't say that to the others.
The killer holds a voice-changer towards their mask.
Ghostface: They all try to run from me, but it never works out.
They close the door behind her as they show their knife.
Ghostface: Even though you won't be running away, I'll still make this nightmare end for you.
Ghostface runs towards her as Paige starts to scream very loudly. Laura, who already left her car due to feeling suspicious, runs towards the house and kicks the door open, running towards the staircase as she looks up.
Laura: Paige?!?!
She runs upstairs as she sees four rooms, all dark with the doors open. Laura walks towards the bathroom, not seeing anyone as she closes the first door. As she walks into the second room, she checks around and notices that no one's in there either. She closes that door as well as she walks towards the third door, the one where Paige is laying as she's heavily bleeding. Laura kneels down while looking around her the entire time as she whispers.
Laura: Squeeze my hand.
Laura feels a small squeeze as she stands up, taking a deep breath as she gets a call. She answers the call, putting it on speaker as she lays it next to Paige. She leaves the door open and quickly hides into one of the rooms she closed earlier as she hears the voice that haunted her for all these years.
Ghostface: What is it, Laura? Sad that your new friend didn't make it? You'll soon follow her.
She then kicks the door open as she suspected the killer to be standing in front of the room where Paige was laying as they believed that she was in that room. Her intuition was right as Laura grabs her gun, shooting towards the killer. Ghostface rolls towards the hall as they try to attack Laura, with no luck as Laura manages to drag them into the room she hid in, shooting him in the chest. Laura quickly closes the door and locks it. She takes one final look towards the room where Paige is laying, quickly calling 911.
Laura: Emergency at the Brooks house, 876 Lancester Lane. Please come quick, the killer is here.
For her own safety, she walks downstairs again as she's now standing in the backyard, looking towards the room where she locked the killer. She then grabs her phone again as she calls Emma.
Emma: This isn't going to be a fun call, is it?
Laura: The killer got Paige.
Emma: I'm coming now!
=== Chapter Twelve: Stay Or Leave ===
It's around 5 A.M as Kendrick, Roxy and Allen arrive at the safehouse as Bruce and Vicky welcome them.
Kendrick: Is everyone alright here?
Vicky: We are. Just terrified now that we got the news about Paige. Did they catch the killer?
Kendrick shakes his head.
Kendrick: When the police arrived, he was gone.
Allen then looks into the room.
Allen: Where's everyone?
Lennox: Emma went to Laura to make sure she wasn't alone now Paige's ... yeah that ... and the newbs were tired of us and left too.
Kendrick sighs while Roxy places her hand on his shoulder.
Roxy: The killer went after Paige and Laura so the three newbies should be fine. We need to check on them quickly though.
Kendrick: Will do that soon. I have to come up with a plan, though.
Allen takes a seat while Bruce looks at Kendrick.
Bruce: You should because this is bringing us nowhere.
Vicky: It looks like this is what the killer wants. As soon as one of us leaves, they grab them. And that's how it'll continue to go if we don't do something. I say, let's start the witch hunt!
Roxy: This isn't the craft. We need to come up with a plan that can't go wrong. That involves all of us.
Emma arrives at the hospital as she's looking around. She then sees Laura sitting at a sofa, quickly walking towards her.
Emma: I came as soon as you called me.
Laura: Emma!
Emma: What happened? Oh I feel so terrible. Where did they take her. How did she die -
Laura: Emma -
Emma: I just can't believe she died, she -
Emma then looks up as she sees Paige standing next to her, having some bandaids on her and looking very weak.
Emma: Wait - what?! You're alive?
Paige: I am. The doctor just called a taxi for me and is putting my stuff into it. I'm leaving. Thank you for all your help.
As Paige walks out of the hospital, Emma runs after her with Laura also following her.
Emma: Leaving?! But Paige, you were nearly killed!
Paige: And that's why I'm leaving. I didn't ask for this.
Laura: Neither did we, Paige. Emma's right, you were nearly killed.
Paige looks at the two ladies.
Paige: Do you see these wounds? These scars?! My parents are dead, my friends and family are dead and I could've died this night too. I've put myself in danger for too long and now that I get the chance to leave, I decide to be actually fucking smart and leave this fucking town.
Emma raises an eyebrow.
Emma: We have scars too, Paige. Look at this lady.
She nods towards Laura.
Emma: She has one thousand reasons to leave and never come back and yet she's here and she's the reason you're still alive. That I'm alive. That we're all alive.
Laura: Look, if we go to the safehouse then we can come up with a plan to guarantee all of our safety. We need to kill this motherfucker in order to pick up our lives again because until he stops breathing, he won't leave us alone.
Paige sighs as the taxi is honking.
Paige: I admire the both of you and once again I want to thank the both of you for everything you've done for me ... but I don't want to go through all of this again. I'm leaving.
Emma looks at Laura as she wants her to stop her.
Laura: Fine then, give me a call when you're somewhere safe.
Paige: Will do.
Paige steps into the taxi as Emma gasps.
Emma: She's going to be killed in the next hour.
Laura: She won't.
Emma looks at Laura.
Emma: Excuse me - I don't follow it anymore.
Laura: I let the killer believe he murdered Paige. After she got attacked, I acted like I saw her dead body. I thought I shot the killer enough to kill him but apparently it had no affect on him. Anyways, the killer won't focus on Paige anymore since he believes her to be dead. I've told the hospital to act like she died too.
Emma blushes.
Emma: That's brilliant. But why didn't you tell me immediately?
Laura: I couldn't take the risk. Not that I don't trust you, but if the killer eavesdropped the conversation, it would've given away that Paige wasn't dead.
She then gets a phone call.
Laura: Hello? ... Mhm ... Alright ... We'll be there.
She ends the call as Emma looks at her.
Emma: What was that?
Laura: Allen. We need to return to the safehouse, there's a plan.
=== Chapter Thirteen: Set The Plan In Action ===
It's quiet at the safehouse as Allen looks through a window. Lennox looks at him, smiling as he walks towards him.
Lennox: It's like I'm looking at a whole different person.
Allen: Maybe that's because I'm a different person.
He grabs his cup of tea as he takes a sip of it.
Allen: A lot has happened Lennox, in the time that you decided to leave.
Lennox: Allen, I know you hold that grudge against me but I hope you understand me. And I'm here now.
Allen nods.
Allen: You know ... I was jealous of you at first. When the killings started again some years ago, I wish I had left Bellody and live far away from here. But when my nephew died ... something triggered me. That feeling that I got after Wyatt died.
Allen has tears in his eyes as Lennox places his hands on Allen's hand.
Lennox: Wyatt was crazy about you.
Allen: Me too. Everyone I cared for died and I could just not live a life while being on the run for Ghostface. I would not survive that.
Lennox nods.
Lennox: Now we got something to fight for together ... or should I say ... someone.
Allen: Selene.
They then both look towards Winston as he's scrolling through his phone.
Allen: Let's make sure that young fella doesn't get hurt. That's the last thing we can do for Selene.
The door then gets opened by Laura and Emma as everyone stands up. Kendrick walks towards them.
Kendrick: I'm so sorry about Paige.
Emma takes a deep breath.
Emma: Hopefully she's in peace. Anyways, what's the plan?
Bruce: Plan? Do we have a plan?
Kendrick stands in front of the group.
Kendrick: I've just been informed by one of my colleagues that something has happened at a park that's dedicated to horror movies and franchises. The Kill house, inspired by the Bellody murders, has been visited by a mysterious figure who keeps adding names to the list of victims. Maybe it's time we move towards this place.
Vicky: Cool! I've always wanted to see that place before!
Everyone looks at her.
Vicky: Oof ...
Winston: I've heard about that place. Don't they have exact replica's of the killers from the past?
Roxy: Yeah they do.
The group grabs their stuff as Laura walks towards Roxy.
Laura: I'm staying here.
Allen, who heard her, walks towards the two.
Allen: We need to stick together!
Laura: What if it's a trap? At least one or two of us need to stay here in case the killer goes to Bellody.
Roxy: I think this is a really good idea though. Kendrick knows what he's doing.
Allen looks at Roxy.
Allen: I thought you were anti-Kendrick but it seems like that little chat of yours did more good than bad apparently.
Roxy: We got a good talk, indeed. I think he's legit.
Emma joins the three as she looks nervous.
Emma: Alright, are we going?
Roxy: We are but Laura's staying here.
Emma: Why?
Kendrick: Yeah, why?
Kendrick overheard the conversation as everyone now looks towards Laura.
Laura: I don't think it's a good idea to go with a full group to that horror park. So I'm staying here, in case the killer visits Bellody.
Emma: Then I'm staying here too! Two is better than one.
Kendrick shares a quick gaze with Roxy, who nods towards him.
Kendrick: Alright then. We'll keep contact. I now have to inform the three newbs. I'm gonna order a bus for them, we're taking the other bus now.
Everyone says their goodbyes to both Emma and Laura as they leave the house, with Allen and Roxy sharing a guy with them. Roxy looks at the two girls before leaving.
Roxy: You two better stay safe.
Emma: You too Roxstar!
Roxy smiles, closing the door behind her.
=== Chapter Fourteen: Attack On The Riding Bus ===
Zahra's still standing in the room with her back against the wall as she looks at Saphira, who's trying to enter through the window.
Saphira: Let me fucking in now! It's almost daylight again!
Zahra: I'm sorry Saph, but until Maurits shows up I'm not letting anyone in.
She then hears noises coming from the hall. Zahra quickly grabs a candlestick as she stands behind the door. As the door gets opened, Zahra smacks someone with the candlestick, that being Maurits.
Maurits: Fuck, Zahra! What the hell?!
Zahra: I'm so sorry. I thought you were the killer!
She then looks at Saphira, who's still standing outside.
Saphira: Care to open the door now?!
Zahra: Immediately!
As she opens the door, she stands in front of Kendrick as she gets scared by him.
Zahra: JESUS CHRIST!
Kendrick: Sorry, I didn't want to scare you. Are you three doing okay?
Maurits arrives from inside and Saphira arrives from the garden, looking irritated.
Saphira: You could say so.
Kendrick: I ordered a bus that'll arrive very soon. We're going to the horror festival. The killer is there.
Zahra: Eh - I don't think that's a good idea.
Kendrick shrugs.
Kendrick: We're all going there. And the police has left town so if something happens here, no one's here to help you out.
Maurits looks at Zahra.
Maurits: I'm getting in that bus.
Kendrick then leaves as he joins the bus with the others in it, driving away as the other bus arrives almost immediately after. Saphira and Maurits grab their stuff as they go inside almost immediately. Zahra looks after her, stepping inside then. She looks at the bus driver, who has her hair in front of her face.
Zahra: Morning.
She then takes a seat as the bus is driving. They drive behind the other bus as Saphira puts some earpods in, closing her eyes while Maurits looks around. Zahra then looks at him.
Zahra: Where were you though? You locked yourself out of the house?
Maurits: I didn't lock myself out of the house.
Zahra frowns.
Zahra: But Saphira said you did so she was going to look for you.
Maurits: I locked the doors and since you two were investigating the rooms, I decided to watch some TV.
Zahra blinks.
Zahra: And Saphira didn't pass you when she went outside?
Maurits: She did. She said she was gonna check something.
As soon as Zahra stands up to check on Saphira, the bus takes a different route than the other bus. Zahra frowns as she walks towards the bus driver.
Zahra: I'm sorry but it seems like you're going the wrong way.
No response as Zahra's continue to look confused. She then looks at the side-mirror and sees the face of the driver, or more so, the mask as the driver is wearing a Ghostface mask. Zahra gasps.
Zahra: IT'S THE KILLER!
She quickly tries to open the door as Maurits shakes Saphira awake.
Maurits: THE KILLER IS OUR DRIVER!
Ghostface takes off the wig and stands up as the bus continues to drive, without someone holding the wheel. They show to have a knife and try to attack Zahra as Maurits rushes to the wheel, trying to stop the bus.
Maurits: THE BRAKES ARE NOT WORKING!
Saphira helps Zahra out by taking down Ghostface, getting stabbed in the lag by them. Zahra manages to get them off Saphira as Zahra looks up as Maurits starts to shout.
Maurits: LOOK OUT!
The bus crashes into two trees, moving upside down as the four get tossed around. Zahra makes a great smack on the ground, falling unconscious.
Some time later, she opens her eyes as she looks around her. She doesn't see Maurits nor Saphira, but she doesn't see Ghostface either. It seems to be day as the sun is shining. Zahra leaves the bus as it appears that they're in a forest. She then walks towards some trees as she sees Maurits and Saphira laying there, kneeling as they look like they have lost a lot of blood.
Zahra: Saph? Mau?
They both don't move anymore. Zahra wants to grab her phone but notices that her phone is missing. She realizes that it must lay in the bus, still. She decides to go back inside and looks for her phone. What she doesn't know is that Ghostface also steps into the bus again. Zahra then hears her phone ringing, picking it up.
Ghostface: Were you looking for this?
Zahra turns herself and sees the killer running at her. Zahra kneels and manages to dodge his attack, leaving the bus as the killer continues to run after her. She runs into the forest and manages to outrun the killer. She looks around her as she seems out of breath when she gets a call, picking it up.
Ghostface: You're fast, unfortunately your friends weren't as lucky.
Zahra: You're not getting away with this. You'll pay for what you did to them.
Ghostface: The fact that you're fast doesn't mean you will live to tell the tale.
The killer appears again, sweeping their knife towards Zahra as they manage to hit her hips. Zahra runs away and quickly hides behind some bushes, having the killer running one direction as Zahra runs the other direction. She quickly runs into the bus, taking the driver seat as she tries to start the bus again. It looks like it's very slow. She looks into the forest and sees how the killer is running her direction again. She closes the doors and after pressing the gas hard, the bus drives away as Zahra has escaped, having the killer looking after her.
=== Chapter Fiveteen: The Kill House ===
Kendrick, Allen, Roxy, Winston, Bruce, Lennox and Vicky arrive at the festival. It's very dead as no one's present there. Kendrick leads the way towards the Kill House. Allen and Roxy share a quick gaze while stepping inside as they're followed by the rest.
Kendrick: Alright, so - I found out that someone came in here a lot, and it wasn't just to enjoy the valuables in here.
He turns on the lights as the group looks around, hearing some gasps here and there. Allen looks petrified.
Allen: They made a museum of this?
While most of them look shocked, Vicky starts walking around.
Vicky: I read about this yeah. It's a tribute to the Kill movies, inspired on the killings of Bellody. These are replicas.
Kendrick: They're not, in fact, the costumes that used to hang in here were used by the real killers.
Winston and Bruce look very intrigued while Lennox glares.
Lennox: How do you know all of this?
Kendrick: I've been informed.
Winston: Why are the costumes and masks stolen?
Kendrick shrugs while Vicky walks back to the group.
Vicky: Because they're used by the killers. Someone's paying a tribute to all the fallen Ghostface killers. They're after the original survivors and avenge them by using their costumes and masks.
Allen walks towards Roxy who's looking at two blades that are laying in a glass coffin. The name of Amber-Lynn Dolan is attached to it as Allen sighs.
Allen: It started with her for you.
Roxy: Never in a million years would I have thought she would've done this. But I've been wrong on people's intentions quite a lot.
Allen puts his arm on Roxy's shoulder as he sees another glass coffin. He sees a diary, which belonged to him. He sees pictures of Wyatt and Tyler, staring at them.
Allen: Oh no ...
Lennox notices Allen staring towards it and rushes to him, comforting him.
Lennox: They deserve to have their pictures shown in this tribute-like thingy.
Allen looks up, having tears in his eyes.
Allen: Everyone's dead from those pictures.
Lennox: Except for us two. And I won't leave you again. We're going to get this motherfucker.
Allen: Yes, we will.
The two share a hug while Kendrick looks at his watch. Vicky, Winston and Bruce finish their little tour.
Bruce: I wonder if Laura would've liked this place. This is pretty much a tribute to her entire life.
Vicky: Pretty sure she wouldn't like this thing at all.
Kendrick then looks at the group.
Kendrick: Okay, there's one final thing I need to show you.
He brings the group to the wall of victims. He nods towards the final names as the names of Maurits Grant, Saphira Damen and a crossed name of Zahra Davis, for the second time.
Kendrick: I've tried to contact them but it seems like they were attacked while traveling towards here.
Vicky: Fuck ...
Kendrick sighs.
Kendrick: I'm going to bring you to a hotel now where you can stay. I think the killer will return here so it's for the best if you guys stay nearby.
The group leave The Kill house as Allen notices something moving at the place where the costumes were hanging. He decides to ignore it and follows the group.
Emma is sitting by herself as she gets a phone call, picking it up immediately.
Emma: Hi.
Zahra: Emma?! Is that you!?
Emma stands up immediately.
Emma: Zahra, are you okay?
Zahra: The killer got us! He killed Maurits and Saphira! I'm running towards the horror festival but I don't see anyone here.
Emma: Hold up, stay on the line.
Emma then starts to call Kendrick as he picks up immediately.
Emma: Kendrick, I got Zahra on the line. She escaped the killer. Where are you guys?
Kendrick: Tell her to go to Westfield Hotel immediately!
Emma hangs up with Kendrick as she hears Zahra again.
Emma: Alright, Zahra, go to Westfield Hotel now!
She doesn't hear anything anymore.
Emma: Zahra?!
Ghostface: Thank you for giving me the information I need, Emma.
Emma gasps.
Emma: No, don't - 
The line ends as Emma looks like she's in panic. She rushes towards the room where Laura is staying but knows that she might be in danger if she informs her about this all. She decides to let her stay in her room and grabs her jacket and leaves the house to save the others in time.
=== Chapter Sixteen: No One Is Safe Anymore ===
Allen, Winston, Lennox, Vicky, Roxy and Bruce arrive at the hotel as they just got dropped there by a taxi. It's very crowded in the lobby as a lot of people start coming in. They're all dressed up as it seems like some parties are going on around the city.
Bruce: Should we check in? Also we need to pick who's taking which room.
Lennox: I'll go with Allen.
The two guys smile towards each other.
Bruce: Then I'll take a room with Winston, then the ladies get their own. I'll check us in.
As Bruce and Winston walk towards the reception, as Vicky, Roxy, Allen and Lennox look around them.
Roxy: Is there something going on or something?
Allen: Apparently a lot of people came back from parties.
With the final group of people arriving at the hotel, a mysterious figure is among the crowded group. Someone dressed as Ghostface mingles them through the crowd into one of the elevators, disappearing almost immediately but not before Vicky sees a glimpse of the mask as she frowns.
Vicky: I saw the killer.
Lennox: What?
Vicky: He went into the elevator.
Bruce and Winston have arrived back as they heard Vicky.
Bruce: Funny bunny. No one knows we're here.
Roxy: Let's go to our rooms.
While the crowd is becoming less of people, it's still very crowded as everyone tries to get into the elevator. The elevator opens again as Allen, Roxy, Bruce, Winston and Lennox get in. When Vicky tries to step in, two party-goers push her aside and run into it.
Vicky: Hey!
The doors start to close.
Bruce: Vicky, quick get i-
And with that, the doors are closed as Vicky starts to sigh, looking around her as she's the only one standing there. She decides to take the other elevator as a woman joins her, pressing the highest floor button before Vicky can do anything. The elevator goes up as they arrive at the highest floor. The woman nods towards Vicky, leaving the elevator as Vicky stares into the hall. She saw the killer going into the elevator and he could be at any floor. Her phone rings, causing for a jumpscare.
Vicky: Hello ...
Bruce: Vicky, where are you?! We're back at the lobby, waiting for you.
Vicky: What floor are our rooms at?
Bruce: Seventh.
Vicky: I'll see you there.
As soon as Vicky's ready to close the elevator, someone arrives again and presses the button of the lobby. Vicky pushes the guy out of the elevator.
Vicky: Take the fucking next one!
The doors close as Vicky is too late to press another button. She then arrives back at the lobby as, once again, a group of people walk into the elevator. Vicky starts to panic as it seems like she's never getting at the seventh floor. She needs to get out and pushes people away, standing in the lobby now as she looks around her. She grabs her phone as she starts to get a call again.
Vicky: Hey, I'm at the lobby so -
Ghostface: Hello Vicky.
Vicky looks irritated that she gave away her location to the killer. She quickly presses the buttons of the elevators as it doesn't help. She then decides to walk towards the staircase, where once again nobody is at. She looks up while the killer is still on the phone.
Ghostface: How is it to be excluded from the group?
Vicky: I'll be with them in just seconds.
Ghostface: But I'll be with you in just one second.
Vicky looks up once again as she sees Ghostface looking at her from above. They throw a knife towards her as Vicky manages to dodge it. Ghostface runs downstairs as Vicky quickly runs back to the lobby.
Vicky: CALL 911 THE GHOSTFACE KILLER IS HERE!
No one's there, not even the receptionists. Vicky needs to escape quick and runs towards the exit, noticing that the doors are closed. She sees a message on the door that leaving the hotel past midnight isn't possible. She then decides to run towards the toilets that are nearby and locks herself up. She gets a call again.
Vicky: Please help!
Allen: Vicky, where the hell are you?!
Vicky: He's here. The killer's here. You need to leave now.
Vicky then hears the doors getting opened. Out of reaction, she drops her phone in the toilet as she tries to hold her breath. She hears footsteps going from left to right. She hears the doors getting opened one by one. Vicky won't wait and decides to wait until the killer is in front of her. As soon as the killer tries to open her door, she kicks it open and slams it through the face of ... a hotel employee.
Vicky: I'm so sorry, there's a killer -
Ghostface appears! They rush towards Vicky and slam their knife through her breast as they kick through the hotel employee's head, breaking his neck instantly. Ghostface aims back for Vicky as she's laying on the ground, trying to fight back but this killer seems to be too strong to handle. They slam their knife through Vicky's heart as the lights in her eyes go out. Ghostface quickly flees the scene and rushes back to the elevators, cleaning the blood off their knife as the doors close.
=== Chapter Seventeen: A Long-Awaited Battle ===
Zahra's running around at the horror festival, trying to call people but no one answers. She then walks towards the Kill House as she slowly moves herself inside. Before entering the house, she clashes into Kendrick.
Zahra: Kendrick! I've been calling you!
Kendrick looks like he just got caught.
Kendrick: Zahra? - Zahra! I thought you went to the Westfield Hotel?
Zahra: Hotel?
Kendrick: I thought Emma told you to go there?
Zahra: When I called Emma, the line was interrupted by Ghostface. He told me he knew where I was and he would get me.
Kendrick looks around, grabbing his gun.
Kendrick: We gotta go to the hotel then quickly and inform the others before it's too late.
As Kendrick and Zahra walk away, Zahra looks at Kendrick.
Zahra: What were you doing there by yourself?
Kendrick: Not important. Let's go.
Allen and Lennox are waiting for the elevator to arrive as Bruce and Winston arrive as well.
Bruce: Have you heard anything from Vicky already?
Allen: She told me the killer's here.
Bruce: What?! Is she okay? Where's Roxy?!
Allen: In her room, trying to contact Kendrick. She has locked all doors. We need to go.
Bruce frowns while the elevator doors open finally.
Bruce: Maybe I should check on Ro-
Allen: Get in!
The four men walk in as the elevator arrives at the lobby. They walk around quickly.
Allen: VICKY?!
Lennox: VICKY!
Allen and Lennox check the reception while Bruce is checking the restaurant. Winston walks towards the toilets as he is holding his breath. He slowly walks towards the female toilets and sees the hotel employee laying there. As he walks into the toilet, he sees Vicky laying there, lifeless. Winston has trouble with breathing as he runs back to the lobby.
Winston: Toilets - she's dead!
Allen, Lennox and Bruce run towards the toilets, only to see Vicky laying dead there. They look at each other.
Allen: Okay ... NOW it's time to check on Roxy!
Meanwhile, Roxy's placing her clothes in one of the closests in her hotelroom as she's trying to call Kendrick. When she gets his voicemail again, she starts to growl.
Roxy: Hello, Roxy here ... again. Where the hell are you? It seems like the killer is here. Call me back, thanks bye.
As soon as Roxy has hung up, she gets an incoming call. Believing it to be Kendrick, she picks up immediately.
Roxy: Hi.
Ghostface: Roxy, what a pleasure to hear your voice.
Roxy has a straight face, walking towards the room's kitchen to look for a knife.
Roxy: So you're finally showing your face?
Ghostface: Were you waiting for me then, Roxy?
Roxy: Listen carefully, you're not getting away with this. You're another sucker that's trying to be a copycat and let me just say it already; it's not going to work out.
Ghostface: I'm not just a copycat, Roxy.
Roxy: Then what are you?
Ghostface: Do you really want to know that? Take a guess. Or wait ... you better don't. Because that's what's going wrong right, Roxy? You trust the wrong people ... you point your finger at the wrong people and have caused innocent people to die. So, do you still want to know who I am?
Roxy looks seriously messed up.
Roxy: Yes, so I know who I have to shoot through the fucking head when I see them.
The killer can be heard laughing.
Ghostface: I'm glad because I'm ready to be reunited with you. But let me change the rules. I will stab through your head instead.
Roxy grins.
Roxy: As if you got the balls for that.
Ghostface: There has never been a killer like me before. I'll show you that.
The door of the hotelroom gets kicked open as Ghostface stands in the door opening. Roxy turns herself and comes eye to eye with the killer. They show their knife as Roxy puts her phone in her backpocket and runs into the bedroom, quickly pushing the hotelbed in front of the door. She opens the window and notices that there's no outway. She rolls her eyes as Ghostface starts stabbing through the door. She has no idea how she needs to get out of here. She grabs her phone and notices that her phone battery died due to the amount of times she tried to call Kendrick. She takes a few steps back as Ghostface has made their way through the door, looking at Roxy.
Roxy: You want me huh? Come and get me!
Roxy runs at the killer and punches them in the face as Ghostface stabs in her arm. Roxy slams the knife out of his hand as she quickly crawls away. Ghostface stands up and grabs Roxy's head, slamming it on the table. Roxy falls on the ground, losing conscious as the killer kneels down.
Ghostface: I've told you, I'm different.
They place their hand on Roxy's throat, squeezing it.
Ghostface: It's the end for you.
Right then, Allen and Lennox arrive. Ghostface looks up and quickly moves towards them. While Lennox jumps away, Allen tries to attack him but Ghostface flees away. Instead of running after him, Allen and Lennox rush towards Roxy. Allen places his hand on Roxy's head as she's bleeding.
Allen: Are you okay?!?!
Roxy smiles.
Roxy: He thought he got me. Fucking bastard.
She closes her eyes as Allen looks at Lennox.
Allen: She needs to rest a bit. We need to contact Bruce and Winston immediately.
=== Chapter Eighteen: Escaping The Killer ===
Bruce and Winston are standing in the lobby as they have just called 911. Winston feels like he's going to throw up while Bruce stares in front of him.
Bruce: She was my best friend ...
Winston: What are we gonna do ... what are we gonna do ...
Bruce: I shouldn't have left her by herself.
The two guys look at each other.
Winston: I want to kill this motherfucker!
Winston looks shocked by the hate speech he's using.
Bruce: You're right, we need to get him.
Bruce then gets an incoming call, noticing that it's coming from Allen.
Bruce: Allen!
Allen, standing in his and Lennox' hotelroom together with Roxy, looks concerned.
Allen: We're leaving the hotel now.
Bruce: But there's no way. The doors are locked and the receptionists are gone.
Allen: We'll find a way, but we need to stick together from now on. Come to our hotelroom now.
Bruce: See you in a bit.
Bruce puts his phone away as he looks at Winston.
Bruce: We're leaving the hotel now.
Winston: Okay, let's go to -
Bruce: We're not going upstairs.
Winston frowns.
Winston: But what about the others? The killer is still somewhere inside this hotel.
Bruce: That's why going upstairs is stupid. Let's break the windows here and leave ourselves.
Winston raises his eyebrows.
Winston: But Bruce ... we can't just leave them behind!
Bruce: Sorry but this is just the safest option.
Bruce grabs a trashcan and throws it at the door as it starts to break in pieces. Bruce looks relieved as he looks after him.
Bruce: You're coming or you staying there until the killer gets you?
Winston looks like he's almost considering it, having tears in his eyes, as he notices how the killer is now standing in front of Bruce.
Winston: Bruce! BRUCE! IN FRONT OF YOU!
Bruce turns himself as he gets stabbed in his stomach by Ghostface. Winston jumps up out of reaction and rushes towards the elevators, quickly going in as he presses the button to go to the seventh floor. As the doors start to close, he sees Ghostface running at him. The doors close just in time as Winston takes some breath out of relief.
The doors open as he arrives at the seventh floor, quickly running towards the room of Allen and Lennox.
Winston: IT'S ME! WINSTON!
Lennox opens the door quickly as he closes it immediately.
Winston: The killer's still here! He killed Bruce! We need to leave NOW!
Roxy and Allen look at each other.
Roxy: What do we do now?
Winston: Bruce broke the door at the lobby so we can escape via there but -
Right at that moment, someone tries to kick the door open. Ghostface has arrived at the seventh floor and tries to kick the door open, stabbing with his knife to get through the door. Winston and Lennox rush towards the door to place the sofa and tv in front of it but Ghostface seems to be strong.
Lennox: He'll get through this!
Winston: Can't we let him in and fight him? It's four against one.
Allen: We can't take that risk. Maybe he has a gun. We need to escape.
Roxy opens the window as she looks down, noticing that Kendrick and Zahra are standing outside. They notice Roxy.
Kendrick: Roxy!
Roxy: Kendrick! The killer's here! There's no outway!
Kendrick looks around him as he notices the fire escape.
Kendrick: The fire escape! Take the fire escape!
Allen now moves his head outside the window and notices the fire escape next to their room, however, it looks very slippery and risky to take it. Roxy takes a deep breath as she looks at Lennox and Winston.
Roxy: We're taking the fire escape. You guys go first.
Allen looks at Roxy.
Allen: No, you go first. You're bleeding. We're going after you.
Roxy nods as she crawls out of the window, shaking a bit as she grabs the ladder. She looks downstairs as she moves herself down slowly. She almost slips off as she manages to go down. While she's making progress, Allen looks at the two guys.
Allen: Lennox, Winston, come.
Lennox decides to let go and rushes to the window, getting out of it as he takes the fire escape as Allen looks at Winston.
Allen: You next.
Winston: I'll go after you. I'm the fastest, trust me.
Allen: You're the son of one of my dearest friends. I don't want to risk your life.
Winston: My mother would've done the same as me. Once you get out of the window, I follow you!
Allen nods as he moves himself to the fire escape. Winston then lets go off the door, running towards the window as well. He moves himself on the ladder while Roxy already has made it to the ground. She and Kendrick help Lennox then while Zahra looks up, looking shocked.
Zahra: Ghostface is there!
Ghostface has made it into the room as he looks at the fire escape. He moves himself onto it as he goes downstairs as well. Winston looks up.
Winston: Oh no!! 
Allen now looks up as well.
Allen: Winston, quickly! Pass me, I'll get that bastard!
Winston tries to go down quickly but Ghostface seems to be quicker. They kick through Winston's head as he has trouble holding onto the fire escape.
Allen: WINSTON HOLD TIGHT!
Allen climbs up while Ghostface has made it to Winston, throwing him off the fire escape as he falls on the ground. Zahra, Kendrick and Lennox look away while Roxy looks disgusted at Winston, who didn't survive his fall unfortunately. Allen looks at the dead body of Winston, extremely pissed, as he looks up at the killer, who climbs back up again.
Allen: COWARD! COME FOR ME THEN!
Allen clims back up as well as Roxy notices it.
Roxy: ALLEN COME BACK! THIS IS WHAT HE WANTS! HE'S LURING YOU BACK IN!
Allen realizes that Roxy might be right and moves himself down again, reaching the ground as Lennox hugs him. Roxy comforts him as well, same for Zahra and Kendrick.
Kendrick: I hate to break the moment but we need to leave. We need to go to the Kill House.
Allen: The Kill House? Why would we go to that fucking place?!
Kendrick: I set up a trap for the killer there. Trust me. We can overpower him there.
Allen looks at Roxy.
Allen: You're not gonna tell me you're joining him are you?
Roxy: We can trust him.
Allen: Roxy ... he's luring us into a place where we can't defend ourselves. There's always more than one killer, he can be the other one.
Kendrick sighs while Lennox walks towards Allen, supporting him. Roxy looks ready to fight back.
Roxy: I know I've messed up in the past and that I made mistakes. I trusted the wrong people. But this is the first time I genuinely trust someone. So ... are you coming with us or not?
Allen shakes his head.
Allen: No. I'm gonna make my own plan. I won't set foot inside that Kill House again, knowing that it's a trap. Roxy - know what you're getting yourselves into. Be careful.
Roxy nods, walking away with Kendrick and Zahra while Allen and Lennox go the other way.
=== Chapter Nineteen: Dark Night Full Of Suspense ===
As it's midnight, Emma runs on the streets to try to find a way to the Westfield Hotel to save her friends and warn them for the killer as she keeps running around.
Emma: Taxi? Taxi!
No one listens to her as they either drive away or lock their doors. Emma then sees a man entering his car as Emma runs to him.
Emma: Sir, I'm so sorry for bothering you but could you give me a drive to the Westfield Hotel?
Man: I'm sorry lady ... I'm quite busy.
Emma: Please, my friends are in danger. A killer is trying to murder them.
The man then nods towards his backseat where two young children are sitting.
Man: I'm sorry.
Emma: I understand.
The man drives away as Emma stands in front of the entrance of the subway station. Emma takes a deep breath as she enters the subway station, looking around her as some vague figures walk around, looking weird at her. Emma grabs her phone and checks which subway she needs to take to the hotel. As she finds it out, she gets an incoming call from Laura. Emma knows that as soon as she'll give away her location, they both will be in danger. She denies the call.
She walks towards the same platform where Zahra ran for her life a few days ago. Emma looks around as she's getting another call, deciding to pick it up now.
Ghostface: Did you feel left out, Emma?
Emma: Why are you doing this? What's the motive?
Ghostface: Are you sure you want to know that? The motive part comes at the end of the story, you should know the rules by now Emma.
Emma: Then it might be time to end that story. I'm done with these games. I want it to be over.
Ghostface: You're not the director, Emma. You're simply just an extra. You're one of the pawns to make my story work. And your part in that story is soon to be over.
Emma looks around as there's still no subway coming. She looks around her as almost no one's present, just a homeless person sleeping on the ground.
Ghostface: Don't you want to get reunited with your family? Your sweet sisters and brothers, your mother and your beloved father?
Emma: Shut up.
Ghostface: I can bring you to them, the pleasure's all mine.
Emma: And I can bring you to all your other fellow failed ghostfuckers.
A creepy laugh can be heard on the other side of the phone.
Ghostface: Sweet Emma ... chatting was fun. Are you ready to die?
At that moment, the subway arrives as Emma quickly opens the door. She walks inside as there are a few people sitting inside the subway. Emma looks slightly relieved as she ends her phone call. She takes a seat next to the people as she looks at the stops, noticing that there are four stops until she needs to get out, which is also the final stop.
While the subway continues, she looks around her. At the next stop people leave, same for the second stop. At every stop, Emma looks around to check if the killer's there or not. As they head for the the third stop, one before hers, the final lady that was present inside the subway next to Amy stands up to leave as Emma gently grabs her arm.
Emma: Misses, may I ask you for a big favor?
The lady looks confused.
Emma: Could you please stay with me for one more stop? Someone's stalking me.
The lady looks slightly concerned.
Lady: Shouldn't you call the police?
Emma: I don't know if you heard about the Ghostface killings? Or Bellody murders?
The lady nods.
Lady: I have to see my grandchildren though ...
Emma looks disappointed, which gets noticed by the lady as the subway stops. She looks like she's considering it. The doors of the subway open as she looks briefly at it, looking back at Emma immediately.
Lady: But I guess they can wait a half ho-
The lady looks shocked as blood starts to come out of her mouth. She drops on the ground as Ghostface has arrived inside of the subway. The doors close behind him as Ghostface wipes the blood off their knife. Emma looks petrified, walking backwards as she hits the otherside of the subway. Emma tries to find a way to leave as Ghostface reaches out to stab her. He misses as Emma continues to run away, moving herself through the subway as Ghostface slowly follows her. Emma notices someone sitting on the seats, sleeping.
Emma: WAKE UP PLEASE! HELP!
The person responds slowly, clearly being high or drunk. Emma continues to run as she looks after her, noticing how Ghostface stabs the person through their head multiple times, killing them off. Emma holds her hand in front of her mouth as she continues to run until she reaches the end of the subway. She has no outway anymore as Ghostface moves themselves slowly towards Emma.
Ghostface steps closer and closer towards Emma as she has no way to go anymore. When Ghostface almost reaches her, the subway stops and the doors open. Emma grabs her chance to flee and runs out of the subway, only to be almost stabbed by Ghostface. Emma runs through the subway station and looks after her, not seeing Ghostface anymore.
Emma exits the subway station as she arrives at a big street, looking around. She sees the Westfield Hotel as she rushes towards that place, looking around as she sees police everywhere.
Emma: Hello ... excuse me, may I ask what happened here?
Officer: We can't give out any details.
Emma: My friends stayed here. I came here to help them because I knew the killer would visit them.
Officer: All I can say is that you're a little too late with helping.
Emma looks shocked as she sees two stretchers being moved outside as she sees the names of Winston and Vicky attached to it. Emma quickly grabs her phone as she tries to call Roxy, Allen and Kendrick respectively, without a response. Emma then realizes that they would probably go to the Kill House.
She looks at the police officers talking as Emma moves herself towards one of the officers, grabbing his gun out of his back-pocket. As she got it, she runs back onto the streets to head towards the Kill House. As she passes the streets, she notices that her phone is zooming, indicating that she's getting called again. She keeps focusing on running.
The buildings around her start to move for some odd reason as the streets are moving as well. Emma's facing her symptoms again by not using her medication. She's getting dizzy as she reaches out to her pills, dropping them by accident. She kneels down to grab them, looking almost cross-eyed due to feeling dizzy as someone helps her up. As she looks up, she notices it's Ghostface. He stabs her in the stomach as she screams it out of the pain. Out of reaction, she punches Ghostface in the face.
Emma: HELP ME!
She screams over the streets but no one's looking up as they are used to people screaming and shouting. Emma needs to run for her life again, trying to stay alert and conscious as she runs into an abandoned building. She runs upstairs as she looks behind her, not seeing Ghostface anymore. She quickly grabs her phone and tries to call Allen again, no sign. She gets an in-coming call again from Ghostface. She needs to know what he's up to so she answers it again.
Emma: Just give up already.
Ghostface: You really don't want to die, do you? I won't sleep until I've seen the lights go off in your eyes.
Emma: You'll never get the pleasure of killing me.
Ghostface: Are you sure about that?
Emma: I am. You'll never get me.
Emma walks towards the balcony as she keeps losing blood, feeling even more dizzy. She turns herself as she sees Ghostface arriving in the building, swinging with their knife.
Emma: You will never win this fight, even if I die here.
Ghostface continues to walk towards Emma, who slowly loses her conscious.
Emma: And ... you ... will ... never get to kill me ...
As soon as Ghostface gets ready to attack, Emma drops herself over the balcony as she falls on the ground. She stares into the sky as her phone fell on her breast. Her phone rings as Emma manages to press the answer button, losing breath. She hears a familair voice.
Roxy: Emma, you called us? What's wrong?
Emma: He ... didn't get ... me ...
Roxy: Emma what do you mean? Emma?!
It's silent for a few seconds.
Emma: Take ... care of ... yourself ... and ... the others ... I ... love you ... my ... best ... friend.
Roxy: Emma, what are you talking about?
It remains silent.
Roxy: Emma?!?! EMMA!
Emma doesn't move anymore as the fall she made eventually became fatal. Ghostface looks over her from the balcony as some police officers walk towards her, quickly checking on her. Roxy still hears things coming from the other line.
Roxy: What do I hear there?
Officer: She's not breathing anymore ... she died ...
=== Chapter Twenty: Ghostface Is Anywhere ===
Roxy ends the phone call as she stares in front of her as Zahra and Kendrick notice that. They're standing outside the Kill House as Kendric notices Roxy acting odd.
Kendrick: Did the killer call you?
Roxy: That was Emma ... she's dead.
Kendrick raises his eyebrows while Zahra blushes.
Roxy: I thought she decided to stay home but apparently -
Zahra: This is my fault.
Roxy and Kendrick look at her.
Zahra: After the bus attack, I called her and asked her what to do. She told me to go to Westfield Hotel but the killer overheard our conversation so -
Roxy: You did what?! So you caused the killer to go to the hotel AND stalk Emma?! Vicky, Winston and Emma died because of you!
Kendrick looks overwhelmed by Roxy's reaction.
Kendrick: Let's not accuse each other of things. Zahra never intended them to die, right?
Zahra shakes her head.
Kendrick: Let's keep our heads cool, stick to the plan and go inside.
The two ladies nod as they follow Kendrick inside.
At a local pub, Allen and Lennox are sitting together.
Allen: We can't call the cops because if we do that the killer won't strike and we're only giving him more room to plan out his attacks. We can't just fight him because that might cost our life. We can't trap him because if we do we need to trust people who are Ghostface. With other words ... we're doomed.
Lennox: There must be a way.
Allen: What? This killer knows exactly what he's doing. Those who have died already were too stupid to reveal themselves once they got cocky. That's how they all lost. This killer knows that keeping their identity hidden is the key to their success. With the mask on, he is much stronger.
Lennox blinks a few times.
Lennox: Then what should we do now?
Allen: Let's get back to the hotel and see what we can find there.
Lennox and Allen leave the pub as they notice it's awfully quiet outside. Allen and Lennox look at each other.
Lennox: I thought people would party all night in big cities like these.
Allen: Something's not right.
As Allen and Lennox arrive at the central point, they look at the billboards. Every where on them are Ghostfaces, threats like "You'll Die Next" and "What's Your Favorite Scary Movie". 
Allen: What the fuck is this kind of shit?
Lennox feels weird by looking at them as Allen gets a phone call, picking it up.
Ghostface: Hello Allen, impressed by the view?
Allen: Is this some sort of statement?
Ghostface: You could say so. It's about a matter of time before I've slaughtered all of you and can finally put this to rest. But before that, there are only a few names on the list I need to cross out. Like Emma's.
Allen looks disgusted.
Allen: You're fucking with me.
Ghostface: You'll find out soon when I put you into the grave next to her body. You better start running for one final time.
Allen ends the call and looks at Lennox.
Allen: He set this up. This is one big trap for all of us. Maybe Kendrick was right, instead of him luring us into his trap, we need to lure him. We need to go to the Kill House!
As they want to run away, a jumpscare happens when Bruce arrives, covered in blood.
Allen: Bruce?!?!
Lennox: I thought you were dead!?!
Bruce: The killer ... we need to leave ... let's go to the hotel ...
Lennox grabs Allen's hand.
Lennox: The only person who knew his fate was Winston ...
Allen looks sharp at Bruce.
Allen: How did -
Bruce: BEHIND YOU!
Ghostface appears! All billboards change to Ghostface looking straight into your soul as Allen and Lennox dodge an attack from the killer. Allen manages to kick Ghostface but stabs Allen in his ankle, causing Lennox to grab Allen's hand to run. The killer runs after them as Allen and Lennox look around the people that are present.
Random Guy: Nice act!
Random Girl: Great show!
Lennox: ARE YOU MENTAL?! HE'S TRYING TO KILL US!
Allen grabs Lennox' hand and brings him towards a café.
Allen: Lennox, the billboards are made by him to embrace his killings. People think it's a show rather than actual deaths, that's how he gets to attack us time after time.
Lennox: We need stop that.
Ghostface then arrives at the café as all people inside stop talking, looking at him.
Customer: That's the Ghostface killer from the movies! Awesome costume.
Allen and Lennox look at each other.
Allen: We're never getting away. We need something to distract him.
Lennox: Or someone ...
Allen frowns as Lennox starts to shake.
Allen: Lennox - what do you mean?
Lennox: You have given up your life to save your loved ones. Something I never could've done if I didn't get reunited with you. You teached me not to be scared of your own demons but instead teached me how to fight them.
He kisses Allen on his mouth as Allen looks stunned.
Lennox: I'll distract him. You go to the Kill House and lure him there.
Allen: Lennox, there must be another way.
Lennox: We got no time. Go.
Allen takes a deep breath as he moves himself into the crowd while Lennox moves himself towards the bar, visible for Ghostface who tries to aim for him. Allen manages to run towards the exit of the café as he sees Ghostface jumping on Lennox, stabbing him multiple times as Allen closes his eyes, running away as he starts to cry.
=== Chapter Twenty-First: A Shocking Confession ===
In Bellody, inside the safe house, Laura's still reading her book as she realizes she hasn't heard something from Emma in a while. She leaves her room to check on Emma but she notices that her room is empty. She then gets a phone call from Emma's phone.
Laura: Hello?
Ghostface: Hello, Laura. Finally we can get a decent conversation.
Laura: What did you do to Emma?
Ghostface: Let's just say she's history now - just like your whole family and friends. It's just you now, Laura. It's time to finally end your life, the life you took away from so many people that deserved to live. It's time that I get to push my sharp knife into your skin, under your bones and rip out everything that's inside of you. It's time for you ... to die.
Laura has a straight facial expression on her face.
Laura: Fine, you want me to end this? Let's face each other. Tell me where to meet you and I'll be happy to rip off that mask of your head for once and forever.
Ghostface: I meet you at the Forrester house.
The call ends as Laura takes a deep breath. The Forrester house was the house where she was almost killed two years ago and where Emma just to live, who just died by the hands of Ghostface. Laura grabs a gun out of her closet as she looks at herself in the mirror. She grabs her phone and dials the number of Roxy, not reaching her so she decides to leave a voicemail.
Laura: Roxy, I've heard about Emma. The killer has made it clear that he wants me. I'm meeting him at the Forrester house. I'll do my best to put an end to this but if killing him means I have to die too ... then I might have to do it. I hope you're all safe there. Don't worry about me, I'll take care of this from now on. Love you.
She ends the call as she keeps looking at herself, ready for the final battle to occur.
Kendrick walks around the Kill House as Roxy and Zahra are sitting in front of him.
Kendrick: So when the killer arrives, we close the doors. Roxy, you have a gun and I have a gun. Zahra, you'll stay with one of us and -
Zahra: And then what? My friends are dead, so are yours. Let's be real, the others aren't coming back. It's just us three now. We need to call the damn police.
Kendrick: Did you forget I'm the sheriff?
Zahra: For a sheriff you've done almost nothing.
Roxy raises an eyebrow.
Roxy: I get that your newbie-arse isn't used to this kind of shit but you need to tone down your attitude.
Zahra: I've been through the same hell as you did though. But because I've not been here since the start of all of this I don't matter? Fuck you.
Zahra walks off as Kendrick looks confused.
Kendrick: Where are you going?!
Zahra: Toilets ... need to vomit.
Kendrick looks at Roxy, who shrugs at him.
Zahra arrives at the bathrooms, the same ones she first had an Ghostface encounter with. She looks at the mirror and starts to cry as she's done with all of this. In the corner of the mirror, she notices that behind her, in one of the toilet cubicles, two black boots are shown. The door gets opened as Ghostface appears, looking at Zahra. Zahra runs away, but Ghostface pulls her by her hair and smacks her to the ground. As Zahra looks up, feeling a bit dizzy, she tries to crawl towards the back entrance as Ghostface slowly follows her, looking at her. Zahra then reaches the door, crawling outside as she looks around. No one's there. Ghostface then kneels down, looking at Zahra as Zahra tries to take off the mask. Ghostface shakes their head, taking off the mask themselves.
Zahra: Oh my god ... YOU!?
Saphira: Yes darling, me.
Saphira places her hand on Zahra's throat.
Saphira: One scream and I'll squeeze you like I did to Winston.
Zahra's eyes grow wide, which causes Saphira to let go off her.
Zahra: W-Why ... What the fuck Saphira?!
Saphira: How ironic how we got so close in such a little time huh? Just because we loved the same horror franchise. Just like Jeremiah and Maurits. Just like the groups that were killed off in the previous killing sprees.
Zahra looks confused.
Saphira: I've been part of the plan to kill off the former survivors ever since the Forrester family got killed off. We got recruited by a really special person, someone whose name I'm forbidden to mention. But, Zahra, trust me - this was so worth it!
Zahra: Worth it? You killed our friends?! You're a serial killer, you're a fucking psycho.
Saphira: NO I'M NOT. My cousin ... Samantha Garcia, who lived in Bellody, was brutually murdered by Ghostface. And you want to know why? Because she was manipulated by people. By that fucking bitch of a Laura Cabbage and ... especially Roxy Blake. That whore will die by my hands, let me assure you that.
Zahra: They didn't kill her -
Saphira: BUT THEY DID! They FUCKING DID! They could've just given up and be okay with dying but nope they wouldn't, just let innocent people die. My boyfriend ... Joe Jagger ... fought for the same right as I do. We got both hired. He tried to avenge his brother but died by the hands of that fucking bitch of a Laura.
Zahra: Because he murdered innocent people! Don't you see that?!?
Saphira: ENOUGH!
Saphira walks towards Zahra.
Saphira: It's been enough. I tried to spare you, as my final victim, but I guess I'll have to give Roxy that honor. After all, she was the one who caused the murder of my cousin.
Zahra: Don't do this, Saphira. You can still quit this act. No one knows you were one of the killers. I won't say anything.
Saphira cackles.
Saphira: Nice try, but you know too much now. But if it makes you feel better, I'll say something nice on your funeral.
Saphira slams her knife through Zahra's stomach as blood spits out everywhere, also out of Zahra's mouth. Saphira looks like she enjoys the feeling and keeps stabbing through Zahra's body until she doesn't breath anymore. Saphira has a evil look on her face, putting Zahra's blood on herself as she starts to roll her eyes in a creepy way. She then hears noises, quickly running back to the toilets.
=== Chapter Twenty-Two: No One Can Be Trusted ===
Roxy and Kendrick are standing outside of the Kill House as they notice someone walking towards them. Kendrick raises his gun.
Kendrick: Who are you?!
It appears to be Bruce.
Bruce: It's me, I'm back. The killer went after Allen and Lennox.
Kendrick looks very suspicious of him while Roxy keeps looking around her. She then sees Allen running towards them.
Roxy: Allen!
Allen looks extremely emotional, also being out of breath.
Roxy: Where's Lennox?
Allen: He got him. Ghostface got him.
Kendrick stares towards Bruce.
Kendrick: Where were you during all of that?
Bruce: I ran for my life, obviously. I went to y'all as fast as I could.
Kendrick: That doesn't make sense though. If it's true you left and Allen and Lennox were chased by Ghostface, with Lennox dying during that moment, Allen couldn't have arrived at the same moment as you. You should've been here earlier.
While Bruce blushes, Allen raises his eyebrows.
Allen: I never said anything about Ghostface chasing us ...
He looks at Roxy as he starts to get suspicious of Kendrick. Just as Kendrick is about to answer, Saphira and Maurits arrive, both covered in blood.
Kendrick: Oh my god - I -
Saphira: LOOK OUT! HE'S THE KILLER!
She points at Bruce, while he raises his eyebrows.
Bruce: NO I'M NOT!
Kendrick aims his gun at Bruce while Saphira and Maurits hold each other, both being heavily attacked.
Bruce: What the fuck how could I have killed you two?!
Saphira: YOU -
Kendrick: Drove the bus.
Bruce looks like he's in panic mode as Roxy and Allen start looking at each other.
Allen: Roxy ... I -
Roxy: I know what you think.
Roxy has tears in her eyes as she starts to raise her gun towards Kendrick.
Roxy: Drop that gun.
Kendrick: You're crazy. The evidence is here.
Roxy: It's not Bruce. It's her.
Kendrick shakes his head.
Kendrick: You've been wrong before, no offense, but you're wrong again.
Roxy: Did I stutter? Drop that fucking gun or else I'm gonna shoot you.
Kendrick drops his gun as Roxy kicks it far away.
Roxy: Okay, now we're going to do exactly what I say -
At that moment, Bruce jumps on Kendrick as Kendrick grabs the gun out of Roxy's hand, shooting him in his chest. Roxy and Kendrick fight for the gun as Allen looks towards Saphira and Maurits as Saphira is stabbing Maurits through his heart, dropping on the ground.
Allen: HEY! ROXY, KENDRICK!
Roxy and Kendrick have dropped the gun while fighting as Saphira grabs it, aiming it now at Kendrick.
Saphira: You call yourselves a sheriff? Even that loser of a Jalen did it better.
Roxy looks disgusted at her as Allen walks towards the two.
Allen: Who the hell are you.
Saphira: Saphira Damen, my cousin was a victim of Ghostface. Or more so, a victim of the past survivor's guilt. You know her, Roxy. Samantha Garcia.
Roxy's jaw drops.
Roxy: Samantha ...
Saphira: You know ... the thing is, you guys don't seem to understand what shit you've brought people in.
Allen looks at her.
Allen: You're the last member of the Ghostface cult. I know you. You rallied up Jeremiah, Zahra and Maurits and had to kill them in order to prove yourselves to the upper Ghostface.
Saphira: And you're the sneaky bastard that leaked everything. If you didn't betray us like that, we would've gained more followers, fucking traitor.
Kendrick looks at Allen.
Kendrick: You were part of the cult?
Allen: Undercover, to find out what their motive was and when they would attack.
Saphira aims her gun at Allen.
Saphira: You know, I thought I found my people. I even dated one of them, Joe Jagger, but he got killed. He sacrificed himself for the living and for the dead. My predecessors all fought hard but couldn't keep up ... but the person who created all of this will be proud of me when I shot the final three people through their head.
Roxy: So this is to avenge people who were killed by people who intentionally killed them?! We were victims, but at least we survived.
Saphira: KEY WORD SURVIVED! Why doesn't it surprise me to hear that coming out of your shitty mouth?
Roxy: Because you're a fucking moron?
Saphira smiles.
Saphira: Watch your words because at the end of the day ... I'm the one holding the gun.
Allen takes a deep breath.
Allen: Fine, so you kill us three. Then what?
Saphira: Then nothing. Without the past survivors, there's no point into bringing back Ghostface anymore. The past can rest, the victims have been avenged and I can live my life peacefully.
Allen: But that means you'd be a survivor, and you'd deserve the same treatment as we do. By your own rules.
Saphira smiles.
Saphira: At least we tried to do something about it. Can't say the same about you.
She then aims her gun at Roxy.
Saphira: I'm ready to finally put an end to your lives.
=== Chapter Twenty-Three: Trusting Your Gut Feeling ===
Saphira gets ready to shoot Roxy as Kendrick pushes her and Allen away. The bullet hits Kendrick in his chest as he quickly reaches to it. Saphira shoots another bullet, hitting Kendrick in his back as he loses conscious. Allen runs into the Kill House while Roxy runs to the other side, having Saphira chasing her.
Saphira: COME HERE BITCH!
She keeps shooting at Roxy, managing to hit her in her shoulder. Roxy drops on the ground, putting pressure on it as Saphira jumps on her, holding her gun at Roxy's head.
Saphira: I've been dreaming of this moment. Out of everyone I wanted to kill you the most.
Roxy: Rot in hell.
Roxy kicks Saphira as Saphira tries to shoot again, however, she's out of bullets. Due to Roxy kicking her off of her, she drops the gun. The two then start fighting as Saphira pushes her finger into Roxy's wound, kicking Roxy in the face. She's starting to lose a lot of blood as Saphira now jumps on her again.
Saphira: Let's do it the old-school way.
She places her hands on Roxy's throat, putting pressure onto it as Roxy starts to look at her left. She sees Kendrick, Bruce and Maurits all laying on the ground, covered in their blood. Roxy can't let herself happen that too and tries to kick Saphira again, with no result. Roxy starts to turn purple as she's losing breath. Saphira then realizes that Roxy's gun is still laying somewhere near the Kill House. She notices that Roxy isn't conscious anymore and decides to let her bleed to death.
She rushes towards the place where the gun should be laying somewhere. She hears noises coming from inside the Kill House and decides to grab the knife she killed Maurits with, heading inside the Kill House as she looks around.
Saphira: Allen, show yourselves. Don't be shy.
She walks around.
Saphira: I know you're in here somewhere. I just killed Roxy, so it's just you left. Isn't that wonderful?
Saphira keeps walking circles, rotating herself as she is ready to attack any moment. She then gets a phone call, answering it.
Saphira: How ironic.
Ghostface: Behind you.
Saphira looks behind her, looking at no one as Allen jumps from behind a pilar, shooting at Saphira. Saphira manages to dodge the attack and runs at Allen, kicking the gun out of his hands as it flies to the entrance of the Kill House. Saphira starts to stab Allen in his arm, causing Allen to take over the knife and reaches to stab Saphira.
Saphira: You gotta do better than that!
She kicks him, as she runs away. Allen runs after her.
Saphira: How did it feel to lose another lover of yours?! It felt so fucking good to kill him! He had it coming anyways.
Allen has fire in his eyes, determined to pay Saphira for what she did.
Saphira tries to get the gun but is too late as Allen grabs her, pushing her towards a altar made of glass. It breaks it thousand little pieces as Saphira lays on the ground. Allen stands in front of her.
Saphira: What are you gonna do now? Pee your pants and hide again?
Allen smiles.
Allen: You might know a whole lot about me, but you forgot one little detail.
Saphira: And that is?
Allen, still holding onto the knife, slams it through Saphira's heart.
Allen: Those who underestimate me will see my true identity. This one's for Lennox.
He takes the knife out of her body as she doesn't move anymore. Allen scratches his head as he turns himself, looking at Roxy as she's watching him. She has her gun in her hand.
Allen: Roxy ...
She walks towards him, looking very weak as she holds onto him.
Roxy: You did it. You got to avenge yourselves.
Allen: I'm no longer afraid of serial killers. My fear is history.
At that moment, Bruce arrives from outside. Roxy and Allen look at him, but turn themselves immediately as Saphira sits up, looking at them.
Saphira: I feel dizzy ... what happened? What am I doing here?
Roxy raises an eyebrow as Saphira now notices Bruce.
Saphira: HE'S THE KILLER! QUICK KILL HIM!
Allen stares at Saphira as Roxy looks determined, aiming her gun at Saphira.
Roxy: You know what? Screw it.
She shoots three bullets through Saphira's head, causing Saphira to be dead for good.
Allen: And with that, you did it as well. You were right about the killer.
Bruce walks towards the two.
Bruce: I saw Kendrick moving. I think he's alive. As for me, I'm not so sure. I am about to pass out.
Allen sighs.
Allen: I'm going to call 911 right now.
As the three walk outside, Allen notices police cars arriving and ambulances following them. They quickly rush towards them as Roxy and Bruce start answering questions. Allen's eyes are focused on one thing, or more so, one person. Allen can't believe his eyes as he sees Lennox walking towards him.
Allen: Lennox ...
Lennox: You didn't think I'd let myself get killed so easily, did you?
Allen has tears in his eyes as the two guys hug, looking at each other as they kiss.
Lennox: You're my hero, Allen.
Allen: You're mine.
The two hug while Kendrick and Bruce are being looked after, while Maurits and Saphira are placed on stretchers. Roxy walks towards Allen and Lennox.
Roxy: Lennox ... you're alive, thankfully.
Lennox smiles.
Lennox: Thankfully this is over.
Allen and Roxy immediately look at each other.
Allen and Roxy: LAURA!
Allen rushes towards the police.
Allen: We all need to go to Bellody right now! There's one more killer who's trying to kill our friend. Quick!
They jump into the police cars.
=== Chapter Twenty-Four: The Final Ghostface Encounter ===
It's dark and cold outside as Laura arrives at the Forrester house. She takes a deep breath as she looks at a picture of her, Zach and Willow. She kisses the picture as she puts the picture in her backpocket. She leaves the car as she stands in front of the Forrester house ... the house where she was almost killed two years ago, the moment that made her realize that she had to live her life.
She steps into the garden, opening the door as it isn't locked. As soon as she enters the house, she looks determined. She grabs her gun and has it ready for use as she starts to stand in the middle of the room.
Laura: I'm here.
Her phone starts to ring as she picks it up, waiting for the killer to speak.
Ghostface: Hello Laura, finally we get to meet again.
Laura: So where are you? I'm waiting.
Ghostface: Come come, you haven't gone through this for twenty years to just meet your end in five minutes, do you? I have something special planned for you. You'll have a worthy death. That's the only thing I owe you.
Laura doesn't seem impressed and decides to walk through the house. She knows it fairly well, looking around to see if she hears anyone talking through a phone from a room.
Ghostface: You've made it quite difficult for me this time, Laura. Not only did you kill one of my most useful followers, you tracked me down and shut down my cult, you prevented two people dying just because you're being you.
Laura: I'd almost think you were complimenting me.
Ghostface: Oh dear Laura, those were just the final reasonings why it's time you're about to get slaughtered.
There's a chilling silence.
Ghostface: You're known as a survivor, someone that has people looking up to them. But are you really happy with yourself? Everyone you cared for died. Tony, Vanessa, Rodney, your mother ...
Laura: You have no idea how many times you fuckfaces brought that up. Guess what? I know better than that. You can keep talking and talking but let's finish this. I came here for a reason, so show up and let's have that final fight. I'm ready.
Ghostface: Are you sure you want to finish this, Laura? It would be sad to get killed and not be able to defend your daughter. Willow's the name right?
For the first time, Laura looks seriously intimidated by the killer.
Laura: I'd advise you not to point even a finger towards her.
Ghostface: I know where they hid, Laura.
Laura: You didn't.
Ghostface: Should I drop a hint? Or should I say, should I drop a indice?
Laura knows he's aiming for France, which is indeed the country she sent Zach and Willow to. Laura takes a deep breath.
Laura: We've talked enough. Show yourselves.
The call gets ended ... but not by Laura. Behind her, a shadow appears. Laura notices this as well and turns herself, coming eye to eye with Ghostface. She looks at them, aiming her gun.
Laura: Time to end this.
As soon as she gets ready to shoot, Ghostface appears to have two guns, one in each hand as they start shooting at Laura at once. She rolls away and dodges the attacks, running upstairs as Ghostface keeps shooting towards her. Laura rushes into one of the rooms, thinking about what she has to do. She decides to open one of the windows as she quickly crawls out of it, standing on the roof. She walks around as she clashes against Ghostface. She manages to kick away one of the guns, landing far away from the house. Ghostface tries to shoot Laura again, missing. They push her off the roof as she rolls off it, managing to hold herself on the ends of it. She notices a car below her, dropping herself on it as she now looks up, not noticing Ghostface anymore.
She decides to look for the second gun but doesn't find it, deciding to return inside as she reloads her gun, aiming it in front of her as she keeps walking through the house. She hears footsteps coming from above as Laura quickly hides behind the staircase, aiming her gun above her. She's waiting for Ghostface to appear as she now sees them walking downstairs. Laura grabs her moment and shoots at Ghostface, hitting them as they fall of the ground. The gun drops on the ground as Laura quickly runs towards it.
Just as she wants to grab it, Ghostface stands up and grabs a knife out of their cloak, cutting Laura's shoulder as she now drops her gun. Ghostface jumps on Laura as they put their knife on her face, pressing on it. Laura tries to reach for the Ghostface mask as Ghostface has put their knife onto Laura's cheek already, trying to push through her skin. Laura manages to grab the mask and pulls it off the killer's face as he quickly hides his face, running towards the other side of the room as Laura grabs one of the guns, aiming it at him.
Laura: STOP! Show your face!
The killer turns himself, revealing it to be no other than ... Elton Jarvis.
Laura: This cannot be. You were shot through the head.
Elton smiles in a very creepy way, grabbing a gun out of his backpocket as he reveals to have had three guns.
Elton: Let's drop our guns. On the count of three. One ... two ... three.
They both do so as Elton grins.
Elton: Finally I can speak out.
Laura: You couldn't have survived that.
Elton: I was braindead. For like a hour. But I was brought back to life. I'm what they call a supernatural human being.
Elton takes a seat, staring at Laura.
Elton: You thought I died, huh? But I've been part of your life ever since. Everything that happened to you was because of me.
Laura looks like she doesn't follow it anymore.
Elton: I set my mother up to kill you, but she failed. I contacted your father anonymously and repeated it with your half-sister. Let me tell you, you have a pretty sick family. You didn't think Amber-Lynn did all these killings, right? I desperatedly wanted to kill my brother, but he was too weak to even survive until the end.
Laura: He wasn't weak.
Elton: Everyone thought I was the disappointment of the family. But look at what I created. Five years ago I started a reddit community, which started quite innocently but started to become a massive hate cult against the survivors. When I told my story to my followers, with a little lie here and there, they instantly started to hate on you. I rallied up a group of people who were ready to repeat history, make the killings relevant again and cause more people to be upset with you and your fellow survivors. It went all according to plan, until you decided to return to Bellody. I was close to having my followers murdering everyone. And as soon as that would've happened, I'd come for you. It'd always end with you.
He takes a deep breath.
Elton: When you visited my house, I intended to kill you there. But I was unprepared, even a little surprised, which is why you won it that time. You outplayed me time after time after time. But guess what ... this time you won't be able to run away. There's no one who can help you out. No one who can save you. Because I caused everyone to go to the Kill house and have my follower eliminate everyone their. The only person who was a obstacle was Emma, so I took care of her myself.
Laura looks disgusted.
Laura: You're full of shit.
Elton: Says you. Like you said, we're not here to chat. We're here to finish things. And I'd like to do that right now. It's finally time to meet your end. By my own hands. Just like how I planned it.
He kneels down to grab his gun as Laura takes that time to run away. Elton shoots at her, missing her as he actually hits a power cable. All lights turn off in the house as Elton starts to sigh.
Elton: Lights on or off, I'll murder the fuck out of you anyways!
Laura holds herself quiet in one of the closets as she hears Elton coming closer towards her. It even looks like he just entered the room she's hiding in. The more he walks towards her, the more quiet Laura gets. Elton moves closer and closer until a certain noise is heard. A door gets opened. Elton moves himself away quickly. Laura then hears a familair voice.
Paige: Laura?! I'm here! I tracked you down via a phone app. Are you okay?
Paige just arrived at the house as she walks around. She walks upstairs to check if she sees anyone, but no one's there. She walks back downstairs.
Paige: I guess you're not here then? I just wanted to say that -
Out of nowhere, Elton arrives as he runs at her, causing Paige to scream.
Paige: AAAAAHHH!
She runs away as Elton jumps at her, grabbing his gun as he tries to shoot her. The bullets are empty as Elton punches the gun on Paige's head a few times, knocking her out. Elton stands up as the lights turn on again. Elton turns himself, looking at Laura, who's aiming a gun at him.
Laura: Were you looking for this?
She shoots Elton in the chest. He runs at her as Laura notices that her bullets are empty now as well. The two fight a little as Laura knows there's another gun somewhere. She kicks Elton off of her as she runs upstairs, having Elton chasing her. She arrives at a room as she quickly opens the window, crawling out of it as Elton grabs her.
Elton: You won't run away again.
Laura looks under her, knowing that if she drops now she won't survive it. However, the opportunity to drag Elton with her and dying both means that he won't get the chance to harm either Willow or Zach. Laura looks into the eyes of Elton.
Laura: You might have gotten me, finally, but you'll never get my daughter.
She grabs Elton's shirt as she pulls herself down, dragging Elton with her down as they both fall on the ground with a big smack. The two don't move anymore. Laura looks at the sky, seeing stars there. She sees many faces, such as her mother, Tony, even her father. She blinks a few times as she feels like this was the right thing she could've done. She closes her eyes and it looks like she's not breathing anymore, neither does Elton.
=== Chapter Twenty-Five: The Big Sacrifice ===
Driving towards Bellody, Roxy and Allen are sitting on the backseat of a police car as they look very nervous.
Allen: How long before we're in Bellody?
Officer: Ten minutes.
Allen looks at Roxy.
Allen: Do you think we're on time?
Roxy: I don't know ... she's not answering the phone.
Roxy and Allen continue to look at each other, concerned.
Meanwhile, Laura and Elton are still laying on the ground, not moving at all. However, Elton seems to be moving his eyes under his eyelids as he starts to slowly move, gaining back conscious as he looks at Laura. He sits up as he moves himself towards Laura.
Elton: You thought you'd be the hero of the story ... but I'll help you out of that dream.
Elton reaches out to choke Laura but before he can put his hands on her, Laura opens her eyes and kicks Elton in the face. She runs back inside as she sees Paige laying there, quickly checking her pulse. She notices that Paige's still alive, letting her lay there as she sees Elton coming her way.
Elton: You've ran away too many times, it's about time you're meeting your end.
Laura then grabs one of the guns that are laying on the ground, looking at him.
Laura: I've killed you once before, why wouldn't I do it a second time.
Instead of shooting, she throws the gun at his head. She hits him on his nose as blood bursts out of it. She knew the gun was empty and decides to run away while Elton wipes away the blood, looking around as he starts to get very aggressive.
Elton: COME BACK HERE!
He walks around as he hears a phone ringing. He walks towards the place where the sound is coming from, picking the phone up.
Elton: Hm?
Anonymous: Are you familair with this voice? I bet you do.
Elton: So we're changing parts?
Anonymous: What goes around comes around, Elton. You should know after all this time.
Elton: And that's why I'll put an end to your life.
Anonymous: By now you should know that whoever says that will not succeed. You've put innocent people into a position where they couldn't think for themselves anymore. You manipulated them into killing their friends and family. Are you proud of yourself, Elton?
Elton: They got what they deserved.
The voice changes then on the phone.
Laura: You've haunted me for my whole life, but guess what Elton, those days are over. Even if I die here, you won't get the satisfiction of ruining my life. I followed my dreams, fulfilled my own wishes and always fought back against you. It all started with your call but tonight it will end with my call.
The call ends as Elton starts to look around him as a door opens behind him, having Laura jumping on him as she smashes his head on the floor, bleeding even more. Elton pushes Laura off him and puts his hands on her throat, trying to choke her again as Laura kicks on his bleeding nose, which now should be broken. This gives Laura time to pull herself back. She grabs a pole that's standing next to a table, throwing it at Elton as he falls to the ground. Laura then gets ready to choke him instead, as Elton moves his head towards Laura and tries to bite her ear off. Laura manages to push him off her in time.
The fight continues as the two keep attacking each other, both bleeding a lot. Laura runs towards the kitchen, looking for anything to attack Elton with, while he's doing the same. He finds a large kitchen knife, running towards her to stab her. While he manages to hit her arm, Laura kicks him off his feet and lands on the kitchen table. Before he can stand up, Laura grabs the kitchen knife and pushes it quickly through Elton's heart. Elton looks at the kitchen knife as his eyes start to roll back a bit while Laura stares at him, out of breath.
Laura: Like I said - it will end with my call.
Elton: You ... 
Laura: Don't speak. Your time is over. No more ghostface, no more phone calls, no more damage you can do. 
She walks towards the other side of the room as a gun is laying in the corner, that one being one of Elton's spare guns that wasn't used during the fight. Laura returns to Elton, looking into his eyes as she aims her gun at him.
Laura: I usually don't pray, but i do pray that you'll burn in hell. This one's for anyone whose life you've taken whether you killed, manipulated or ruined their lives. Your story is over.
Not hesitating a second, she shoots one bullet through Elton's head. The bullet is fatal for him as he stops breathing for good, being dead for real now. Despite feeling relieved to have finally put an end to the killings, Laura sits down to realize what just happened, closing her eyes as she has a tear rolling over her face.
Police sirens can be heard as a police car arrives, followed by two ambulances. Laura looks up as she sees some officers walk into the house, followed by nurses and ... Allen and Roxy. Once they see Laura sitting, they look extremely relieved and run towards her, hugging her.
Allen: LAURA!
Roxy: YOU DID IT!
The nurses check on Paige and Elton while some officers walk towards the trio.
Officer: Misses Cabbage, it's an honor to meet you. Can you describe what happened here?
Laura: It's very simple. I killed Elton. He has been behind all the killings. Starting from the original killing spree to here.
Allen: So he was the upper Ghostface?
Roxy: I thought he died?
The two look slightly confused.
Laura: He was brain dead. But now it's not just his brain. I made sure of that.
Her phone then rings, causing for a reaction as Allen and Roxy glare towards each other.
Laura: Hello?
Zach: Thank god, you're alive.
Laura: I got him, Zach. He's dead. No more Ghostfaces, no more killings. We're safe.
Roxy looks at Allen, suggesting to walk outside as the two step out of the house, looking at the ambulances taking Paige and Elton away. Roxy takes a deep sigh while Allen shakes his head.
Allen: It's hard to believe that all of this is over. I'm glad and relieved it's over, don't get me wrong, but just no more Ghostface is ... odd.
Roxy: It became our life, so I get what you mean. Thankfully it's over.
Now Roxy's phone starts to ring as she picks it up.
Roxy: Hey.
Kendrick: Were you on time?
Roxy: She already finished him off before we got there, like the legend she is.
Kendrick: I'm glad to hear that.
While Roxy gets ready to hang up, Kendrick sounds like he needs to tell her something.
Roxy: Is there something going on?
Kendrick: There's something I need to ask you.
Allen, who can hear the conversation, looks interested.
Roxy: And that is?
Kendrick: We've grown close to each other during this massacre. I've got to know you as a warrior with a golden heart. Roxy, I love you and am crazy about you and now that this is over, I wanted to ask you ... if ... if you want to marry me.
Roxy has tears in her eyes while Allen looks excited.
Roxy: Yes. Hell yes I want to marry you. I'm coming to the hospital when we're done here. I love you Kendrick.
As she hangs up the phone, she looks at Allen.
Roxy: And you'll be my witness. Normally I would've asked Emma so -
Allen: So we'll let Emma be the witness. Even though she's not here with us anymore, she deserves to get that honors.
Roxy smiles.
Roxy: You're right. Let's go inside and see if we can do anything.
The two hold each other's hands as they walk back inside the Forrester house.
=== Chapter Twenty-Six: A Deserved Happy Ending ===
One month later ...
In a gigantic garden, a wedding is happening. At the altar, a flower wall is made full of pictures of past victims of the Ghostface killings. Kendrick is standing in front of it, looking extremely handsome in his suit. In front of him are plenty of people. Besides family and friends, the survivors of the killing spree are present as well. Bruce, Paige, Allen and Lennox are sitting next to each other. Behind them are Laura, Zach and Willow. Allen and Lennox look at each other.
Lennox: Do you think we should marry as well?
Allen: I'm not the type of person who would marry someone, I think.
Lennox nods.
Lennox: Sounds ... fair. But still, I want to see you in a suit.
Allen: Forget it.
The two share a small kiss while Paige and Bruce are talking about recent events.
Bruce: So, you decided to give up your life to save the ones in danger. That's pretty badass.
Paige shrugs.
Paige: I owed them. I thought running away was the best option, even though I was warned to not do that. Something inside of me told me to go back to Bellody and save the others. And so I tried.
Bruce: I admire that a lot.
Paige: I appreciate it.
Everyone's then quiet as the wedding-planner requests everyone to be silent. Arriving then, in a beautiful white dress, is no other than Roxy. She looks better than ever before as she walks towards the altar, holding Kendrick's hands as the two look at each other.
Official: Welcome everyone. Today we're witnissing the marriage of two people who have chosen for each other. Two people who have went through a difficult time together, a time where trust and loyalty was more essential than ever. And today, they're here to confirm their love towards each other. May I ask you all to stand.
Everyone stands up while Roxy and Kendrick keep looking into each other's eyes.
Offical: Then I'd ask Kendrick Schneider, will you take Roxy Blake as your wife?
Kendrick: I definitely will.
Official: Roxy Blake, will you take Kendrick Schneider as your husband?
Roxy: Yes. For sure I will.
Official: Then you may now kiss each other.
Kendrick and Roxy kiss, causing a huge reaction by the crowd as they all start clapping for the two. After doing so, the party starts as Roxy and Kendrick are expected to leave for their honeymoon. Roxy grabs her bouquet and throws it backwards into the crowd, having Allen catching it as some people start to laugh at him, especially Lennox.
Lennox: Destiny has spoken.
Allen grins.
Meanwhile everyone follows Roxy and Kendrick outside as Kendrick steps into the car already. Roxy turns herself and looks at everyone. Laura, holding Willow in her arms, and Zach are standing in front of her.
Roxy: Will you be here when we return?
Laura: We won't. If you don't mind, I've seen enough of Bellody by now. It's time we start a new chapter.
Roxy: I understand, it's good that you put your family on number one from now on.
The two share a hug.
Laura: You're always welcome to visit. You all are.
Allen, who's standing behind her, puts his arm around her shoulder.
Allen: We definitely will.
Roxy walks towards Allen, hugging him.
Roxy: You've really become my best friend. I hope Lennox and you will be very happy together. We'll keep contact, whatever happens, okay?
Allen: Definitely!
Allen, Roxy and Laura look at each other.
Laura: We can be proud of ourselves. It's time to enjoy our lives now.
Allen: Fully agreed.
Kendrick presses the honk, smiling towards the three.
Kendrick: Sorry to ruin the moment but we got to catch a plane hehe.
Roxy walks towards the car as she steps in, waving towards the rest as the car drives away. Everyone waves back at Roxy and Kendrick as Allen and Laura look quite emotional.
Allen: This was it. We've done it. Finally back to our normal lives.
Laura: It'll probably never be normal. After all, we're survivors.
Everyone raises a toast on that as Paige and Bruce share a hug, Lennox and Allen kiss and Laura and Zach give Willow a kiss on her cheeks while Roxy and Kendrick are driving towards their honeymoon location. Everyone has gotten their happy ending.
THE END
