## Chapter 1

JULY 13, 2015 (TWO YEARS AGO)

There is a party going on at a beach for RYAN MCKINLEY (then 15). He was a geeky nerd then, too. But he was very much loved by his old group of friends, which consists of his best friend BRUCE TAYLOR, MICKEY MONTANA, CRAIG NELSON, TOMMY MURPHY, ADAM SPIRO, MARIO SANCHEZ, ALBERT RICHARDS, and CLAIRE CARRUTHERS (All 15), and many other unnamed friends, whom are not as important to us as the rest of the named friends.

This was Ryan’s last day with his old friends before moving to Clearwood, a year prior to first story. Bruce is hosting this party and is serving lots of drugs and alcohol. While Ryan will drink the alcoholic beverages, he refuses to do the drugs. His friends won’t pressure him over it. As Ryan is getting pats on the back by friends wishing him well or telling him that they’ll miss him, Ryan turns to see Claire. She looks at him and smiles. It’s clear that they have a crush on each other. Ryan really likes her and never got the chance to tell her before.

Music is played and the teen couples are all dancing. Ryan and Claire stand there and watch other couples dancing. Ryan says that it looks fun, which Claire agrees. She says that it’s such a shame that she doesn’t have a date to dance with. Ryan turns to her and nervously asks her if she’d like to dance with him. Claire smiles and nods. Ryan and Claire go into the middle of the beach and proceed to slow dance. It’s a cute moment between them. Ryan notices a guy kissing his girlfriend next to them. Claire notices this and asks Ryan if he wants to kiss her. Ryan confirms that he does. Claire smiles and they lean towards each other. Ryan and Claire kiss.

Sometime later, the entire group, plus many of the unnamed friends get together for a large group photo. The photographer tells them to say, “CHEESE!”, which they all do while making weird poses. We find Ryan in the middle with Claire in his arms and Bruce next to them. The others are gathered either next to them or behind them. It’s a typical group photo. While the current vibe of what will be their picture looks happy and fun, it will eventually become a symbol of loss and tragedy in the future for Ryan.

Later that night, the entire group is sitting around a fire. Ryan and Claire are sitting next to each other and have their arms around each other. Mickey and Craig, who are a gay couple, have their arms around each other. Adam is drunk as hell and laughing his off and making jokes about himself, which amuses his friends. Tommy is having a geek-off with Ryan about movies. Mario has two sexy girls in his arms, hinting that he’s a lady’s man. Albert is playing on his guitar to add music to the moment. Bruce is cutting up some cocaine on a little handheld mirror.

Bruce snorts the first line of coke and passes it to Mario, who gladly snorts up the coke. The two girls share with him before they pass it to Albert. He declines the offer, so it’s then passed to Tommy, who accepts it but is clearly new to this. He panics a little over it and, therefore, passes it on to Adam. After Adam has a hit of the coke, he passes it to Mickey and Craig. After they take a snort of the coke, they pass it to Ryan and Claire. Ryan bluntly refuses, reminding them of his “Alcohol friendly, but no drug” policy. Claire takes it but stops for a moment to think it over.

Claire hesitates, saying that she has already drank a lot tonight while having an already unhealthy liver. She isn’t sure if she wants to add hardcore drugs into the mix. Bruce tells her that having one try won’t hurt her. She can just do it once and doesn’t have to do it again. The rest of the group, except for Ryan, encourages and pushes her to do so. So Claire has the “What the hell?” attitude and goes along with it. Claire snorts the coke. She whoops and says that it’s a rush, which makes them all laugh. Bruce says that is the whole point.

Claire says that she may get into the drugs, which horrifies Ryan, but excites the rest of the group. Bruce pulls out a case and tells Claire that she should try another drug. Ryan is alarmed by the fact that there is more drugs in their possession. Bruce pulls out -- HEROIN. Ryan asks Bruce if he thinks that bringing in heroin is such a good idea. Bruce tells him to relax as he’s injecting some heroin into the syringe. He tells Ryan that he’s only going to give her a small dose for someone who is a new at it. Bruce asks them if they trust him. They all confirm that they do. Ryan relents and says that he trusts his best friend.

Bruce goes over to Claire and wraps a belt around her arm. He helps her with the syringe. Claire gasps over a slight pain when Bruce sticks the needle into her arm. He tells to take a deep breath and to relax, which she does. Bruce injects her with the heroin. After a while, he unwraps the belt from her arm. He asks her how she feels. Claire smiles and says that she feels good. Bruce says that is good. Bruce and the others, except for Ryan, proceeds to shoot heroin into their veins. Ryan is shocked and horrified by the drug activity.

Claire, starting to feeling high, begins making out with Ryan. Claire asks Ryan to dance with her. Claire pulls Ryan up to the middle of the beach and they dance. Music proceeds to play. Claire, Ryan, and the rest of their friends proceed to dance like crazy. Ryan is wasted but the rest is high. So they’re all just dancing without a care in the world and without thinking about their dance moves. Bruce and Claire are taking multiple illegal and harmful drugs along with alcohol. Ryan passes out due to being wasted. Eventually, Claire passes out due to the large amount of alcohol and drugs that she has consumed. Bruce is the last person to pass out.

We ZOOM IN on the group photo taken earlier. But as we stay on it, the scene DISSOLVES TO -- THE PRESENT. The photo is tacked to the wall in Ryan’s bedroom. There is an RIP under Claire and on many of the UNNAMED FRIENDS that we didn’t get introduced to. This indicates that Claire and the unnamed friends have since passed away. But why? Ryan looks at a newspaper clipping, titled “LOCAL GIRLS DIES OF DRUGS AND ALCOHOL.” The photo is of Claire. This indicates that Claire’s drug and alcohol consumption at the party eventually led to her tragic death. Ryan touches her pictures and shows signs of sadness over her death.

This moment is, however, is interrupted by Ryan’s current girlfriend, fellow Clearwood Crew survivor, GINGER LANE (17). Ginger asks him if he’s thinking about “her” again. Ryan confirms that he is. Ginger, being an understanding girlfriend, nods. Ryan justifies this by explaining that Claire was his first love and his first kiss. He felt so alive when he got with her that night. Ginger tells him that she understand and that he doesn’t have to explain. She reminds him that she’s been there before with Kevin, who was killed in the previous story.

Ginger explains that there are times that she still thinks about the good times that she had with Kevin before he became an asshole. Ginger asks how the others died. Ryan informs her that his other unnamed friends were all murdered. Ryan admits that he believes that the Three Ghosts has something to do with it. But he’s not sure. Ginger says that she hopes not. Ryan says that if they were, then one of them is targeting him for some reason.

## Chapter 2

Ryan and Ginger go shopping at the mall for the day. They take a break to get some lunch at the food court, where Ryan notices his old friend, Albert Richards (now 17), from his old school at Lake Stevens. They catch up on what they’ve been doing presently with Ryan mentioning that he’s writing a book about the events of the previous story and his amazing relationship with Ginger. Albert tells Ryan that he’s still playing guitar but has since stopped drinking and doing drugs after Claire’s death. Albert mentions that Bruce is still their group’s leader, which Ryan was happy to hear about.

The old friends talk about their fallen friends, whom were all murdered in similar fashions as the victims from the previous story’s murders by the Three Ghosts. Ryan tells Albert that he believes that the Three Ghosts are their friends’ killers and believes that he’s personally being targeted by them. Ryan suspects that because Chromeface is harassing Molly and Brandonface was targeting Clarence Carter and his family, that Ghostface is targeting him as he and Ginger were attacked by Ghostface personally at the end. Albert tells him that he hopes that the murders end with Ryan figuring out the mysterious behind the killings.

After this conversation, Albert leaves to go stay with his cousin, NICK (23) and his wife RACHEL (21), for the night. While Nick and Rachel have sex in their bedroom, Albert chills in the guest bedroom and listens to music on his headphones to drown out the sex noise. After the couple finishes having sex, Nick goes downstairs to get them some food. Rachel goes to take a shower. As Nick raids the kitchen, he is struck in the back several times by Chromeface with a meat cleaver. His screams are drowned out by the shower and Albert listening to loud music on his head phones. Nick Richards, cousin of Albert and husband of Rachel, is dead.

Rachel gets out of the shower. As she gets dresses in her bedroom, we find the new Brandonface creeping out of the closet. Rachel goes to bed, not even thinking about her husband’s whereabouts. Brandonface shoves a pillow over her face to drown out her screams before stabbing her to death. Rachel Richards, wife of Nick, is dead. Back in the guest room, Nick is dozing off with the music still playing in his headphones. He gets a phone call from Ghostface, who proceeds to call him a “Murderer”, which confuses Albert.

Albert and Ghostface have a few angry words at each other about Albert’s past with his friends led by Bruce. Albert hears noises coming from downstairs. He hangs up and goes downstairs to investigate. He finds Nick and Rachel’s dead bodies. He is attacked and chased by Ghostface. Albert tries to run out the back door, but Ghostface throws his knife into his back, which makes him fall to the floor. Ghostface goes over to him, turning him on his back, and stabs him to death. Albert Richards, cousin of Nick and an old friend of Ryan’s from Lake Stevens, is dead.

## Chapter 3

The next morning, Ryan is asleep in his bed when his phone rings. He answers the phone. It’s Bruce Taylor. Ryan is excited to hear from his old best friend. However, Bruce called to give him bad news. Bruce informs Ryan that Albert, his cousin Nick, and Nick’s wife were killed last night. Ryan is shocked to hear about this as he had just ran into his old friend yesterday. Ryan thanks Bruce for the call and they hang up. Ryan gets up and goes to the group photo of him and his Lake Stevens friends. He writes RIP under Albert’s head. This is the fifth friend of Ryan’s from Lake Stevens to have died and the fourth to have been murdered.

Ryan goes to school and is met up with Ginger and the other Clearwood Crew; Molly Christensen, Sam McBride, and Morgan Christensen, along with their new friends DANE RANDALL, his girlfriend LUCY COOPER, and HAYDEN CAMPBELL (all 17). They all console Ryan over Albert’s murder. Ryan tells them that he now truly believes that The Three Ghosts are responsible for these murders as they’re targeting his friends for some reason. Morgan tells him that if it is the Three Ghosts, then they will fight back like they did last time. The rest agree.

They are suddenly confronted by bullies JUSTIN, JOHN, and JACOB (all 17) known as the “JAYS.” The Jays throw insults at the Clearwood Crew, calling them phonies, saying that they’re not really heroes and that they were just lucky that they weren’t killed. They turn their insults on Ryan over his friends being murder. They call Ryan the “Angel of Death.” Morgan gets in their faces. The Jays attempt to challenge them to a fight. But this is stopped by the badass and popular school security guard -- CHRISTOPHER “CHRIS” OSBURN (25).

As the Jays know that Chris is tough and known to put large football players and even wrestlers down, they don’t dare mess with him despite outnumbering him. So they leave. The Clearwood Crew thanks him for standing up for them. Chris shows that he’s one of them by reminding them that he’s always had their back and always will. Chris is one of those staff members that is truly one of the “kids” than the adults. Chris will frequently smoke with the kids and play basketball with them. He’s even bought beer for students to show that he was one of them.

Later in the cafeteria, Ryan is having lunch with the Clearwood Crew (including new friends) when he gets a phone call from Bruce again. Bruce informs Ryan that they are coming to Clearwood to mourn Albert with him. It’s time for a reunion with his old group of friends. Despite the tragic circumstances, Ryan is excited by this news. It has been nearly two years since he last saw his friends. He invites the Clearwood Crew to join him in meeting up with his old friends, which they all accept to be there for him.

At a public clubhouse, Ryan brings the Clearwood Crew with him to meet up his old buddies; Bruce Taylor, Mickey Montana, Tommy Murphy, Adam Spiro, and Mario Sanchez. They hug Ryan with great joy and emotions. Ryan introduces his old friends to his new friends. His old friends are happy to see that Ryan, who was the lonely virgin that never dated, finally found himself a girlfriend. Bruce and Ryan spends a lot of time talking about their past antics together with everyone. It’s obvious that they still have the love and chemistry that they had together.

## Chapter 4

The next day, Ryan, his Lake Stevens Group, and his Clearwood Crew join Albert’s family and friends in a memorial ceremony for Albert, Nick, and Rachel. While Albert’s parents are grateful to see Ryan, the Lake Stevens Group and the Crew there, others are horrified by their presence. It has since become public knowledge that the latest murders of the Lake Stevens friends are similar to the Three Ghosts murder spree that Ryan had survived from. It shakes people up over the major connection of Ryan on both murders.

As the memorial service continues, an emotional Ryan walks on the dock with Bruce. They have their arms around each other like brothers. Ryan confides in Bruce of how hard it is for him to live with this horrifying fact that his friends are being hunted down by The Three Ghosts, whom he barely survived attacks by. Bruce says that he understands and tells that if these assholes are back, that he’ll fight alongside with Ryan to defeat them and to avenge their fallen friends. Bruce says that they will discover the truths and mysteries behind these killings together.

That night Mario, posing as a 21 year old, is at his motel room with two whores MONICA and NIKKI (Both 20s). Mario is having a hot threesome with the two girls. Both girls are engaged in sexual activities with him and with each other. As the two girls make out, Mario eats them both out, which makes them both moan. Afterwards, he screws them both from behind. In another position, he’s got Monica riding him with Nikki over his face as he licks her vagina. Both moan loudly over this. Mario is having the time of his life with these two girls.

As this goes on, we PAN TO the bathroom. The window is slightly opened. A black gloved hand opens the window, indicating that someone is breaking into the motel room. Meanwhile, out on the balcony, we find Brandonface reaching the top of the staircase to this second floor balcony to Mario’s motel room. Back in the motel room, the three have finished having sex. Nikki puts on her clothes and says that she’s going to get some food at the motel shop. She walks out of the door and heads for the stairs. But before she can reach the stairs, Brandonface grabs her from behind and slices her throat. Nikki, one of the two whores, is dead.

Back in the motel room, Mario tells Monica that he has to go to the bathroom. Brandonface overhears this outside the motel room door. Once Mario steps into the bathroom, Brandonface slowly opens the door to the motel room. While Mario is in the bathroom, he notices that the bathroom window is opened. But he ignores this. We realize that the intruder is inside the shower. As Mario goes to wash his hands, the intruder -- GHOSTFACE -- slowly comes out of the shower. Brandonface slowly approaches Monica, who is lying on the bed.

Brandonface attacks Monica from behind her on the bed. Her screaming alerts Mario. But before he can do anything, he is bashed over the head with a bat by Ghostface. Both Mario and Monica are being murdered at the same time. Brandonface stabs Monica to death and Ghostface bashes Mario’s head. Both Mario and Monica are now dead. Mario Sanchez is the fifth friend of Ryan’s from Lake Stevens to be murdered by the Three Ghosts.

## Chapter 5

At the Christensen house, Molly and Sam are alone together. Molly’s parents (Sarah and Kyle) are out for dinner together and Morgan is hanging out with his own friends outside the Clearwood Crew. This gives Molly and Sam some time alone. It’s been six months since they’ve gotten together and they are really strong and happy together. Molly tells Sam that she is ready for “it.” Realizing what “it” means, Sam asks her if she’s sure that she’s fully ready for it. Molly confirms that she is ready for it finally. Sam and Molly proceed to make out.

Their making out becomes deep and passionate. Molly takes Sam’s shirt off and he proceeds to take her shirt off. They help each other take the rest of their clothes off. Sam gets on top of Molly and they proceed to have sex for the very first time. It’s not just their first time together. It’s their first time having sex, losing their virginities to each other. As they continue having sex, we PAN TO Molly’s bedroom window to find -- A DARK FIGURE -- watching them. But which of the Three Ghosts is this? Most likely Chromeface as he’s the one who is personally harassing Molly.

We DISSOLVE TO later. Molly and Sam have finished their first time. Sam asks Molly how she feels. Molly admits that it hurt at first but that she really enjoyed it afterwards. Molly asks him how he felt about it. Of course as a guy, Sam proudly admits that he really liked it. This makes Molly chuckle. They kiss before they put their clothes back on. Molly reminds her boyfriend that her parents should be home soon. So Sam decides that he should leave before her parents catches him there. Sam tells Molly that he loves her, which Molly says that she loves him, too.

Sam and Molly hug and kiss before he leaves. Sam drives off with the dark figure (Chromeface?) watching him drive away without taking any action. Sam is unaware of his presence. As Sam is very important to Molly, the killer knows that he will have to wait until much later to make any moves on Sam or Morgan to hurt Molly. But with Molly alone now, he will have a great opportunity to reunite with her in a special way that we Scream fans love for the killers to reunite with their final girls. And, of course, that is to…

Molly’s cellphone rings. She answers it. It’s Chromeface. He asks her how her first time was She is horrified by the fact he knows about it but even more angry that he was watching her. Molly aggressively asks, “What do you want?” much like Sidney did in Scream 2 when Debbie called her. Chromeface tells her that while he enjoys harassing her, she is not a major target this time around. Chromeface informs her that they’re playing out Ghostface’s agenda this time like they did for Brandonface last time. Chromeface confirms that Ryan and his Lake Stevens friends are the targets this time. Molly asks him what Ryan and his old friends have done.

Chromeface said that they did something horrible to someone and that Ghostface is seeking revenge for their actions. Chromeface calls Ryan a murderer who took another life. Molly refuses to believe that her friend Ryan would take another life unless it was to defend himself. Chromeface confirms that Ryan did not pull a trigger or anything. But that he was involved in something that killed someone. Molly is shocked to hear this. She asks who did they kill. But Chromeface says that he’s going to wait for Ghostface to tell her. Until then, she can sit back and watch the show. Chromeface hangs up on Molly, who is now scared and confused as hell.

## Chapter 6

Bruce stayed the night at Ryan’s house along with Mickey, Craig, and Tommy. Bruce stayed in Ryan’s bedroom, while Tommy slept in the living room, and Mickey and Craig stayed in the guest bedroom. The next morning, they are having cereal in Ryan’s bedroom while discussing what is all going on with their friends being murdered and if it’s related to anyone close to them in their past. Ryan isn’t certain how it can connect at all. He says that they never did anyone any harm or anything that would drive someone to kill anyone. He asks if any of them could think of something. But neither Lake Stevens friends could think of anything.

Ryan get a phone call. He answers it. It’s from JONATHAN BYERS (who will appear in Part 3), the son of Sheriff Hopper. Ryan is distraught when Jonathan tells him some bad news. After hanging up with Jonathan, his friends asks him what is wrong. Ryan informs them that their friend Mario was murdered along with two girls last night at his motel room. This upsets the group. Ryan gets up and writes RIP under Mario’s face on their group picture. The sight of the picture filling up with RIPs is heartbreaking to the group of friends. It may be their own fate.

At the school, Ryan meets up with the Clearwood Crew, along with Chris Osburn, and informs them about Mario. The Crew is upset to hear about this. Molly tells them that she needs to tell them all something. They give her their attention and she reveals to them that she got a call from Chromeface last night. Sam asks what he said. Molly tells them that Chromeface says that The Three Ghosts are back and that Ghostface is targeting Ryan and his Lake Stevens friends this time. Ryan asks why. Molly says that they supposedly killed someone. Ryan denies this and says that it’s bullshit.

Molly tells Ryan that she doesn’t believe Chromeface because she knows that Ryan would never hurt anyone. Ginger joins in on that belief, saying that her love would never hurt anyone. Morgan, Sam, Dane, Lucy, Hayden, Chris all agree that Ryan is an innocent person. Ryan thanks his friends for their support. But now they must find a way to stop this now that the Three Ghosts are back. Morgan states that they will fight back and kill the Ghosts. Sam says that he will personally Chromeface since he is harassing his girlfriend.

Chris says that he will snap the necks of The Three Ghosts for hurting his students and their friends. Chris claims that his job as the school security means more than just being a dude who stops school fights. He is authorized to kick some killer ass if need be. This makes the Crew laugh. Chris, despite being an adult working for the school, is part of the Crew. They feel safe with Chris on their side. Chris tells them that he must get back to work and that he’ll talk to them later. They all say bye to Chris as he leaves to go to his office. Ryan tells the Crew that he’ll talk to his friends about bringing his group and the Crew together. The Crew agrees with this.

Back at Ryan’s house later, Ryan is meeting up with his remaining Lake Stevens group. He tells them about bringing the Clearwood Crew and the Lake Stevens group together to fight back against The Three Ghosts. Bruce likes the idea, saying that it’s best that they die fighting back rather than die running away from these bastards. Mickey says that he’s worried for Craig’s safety. Craig insist that he’d like to fight. He kisses Mickey and tells his boyfriend that he wants to fight with him. Mickey relents and agrees to allow Craig to fight. The Lake Stevens group agrees to form an alliance with the Clearwood Crew to end the reign of The Three Ghosts.

## Chapter 7

Ryan and Ginger are hanging out in Ryan’s backyard together, trying to have a romantic night. The Lake Stevens group (Bruce, Mickey, Craig, Tommy, and Adam) are hanging out in the family room and watching TV. Ryan tells Ginger about how scared he is that things will go very bad for them. Ryan says that he’s mostly afraid of losing Ginger in the murders. Ginger promises that he won’t lose her. They kiss, which turns into making out. Suddenly, their phones ding. They check their phones and are shocked by what they find.

All of our main characters have received this; Ryan, Ginger, Molly, Sam, Morgan, Bruce, Mickey, Craig, Tommy, Adam, Dane, Lucy, and Hayden. What is it? -- AN INVITATION TO A PARTY AT CLEARWOOD HIGH SCHOOL. Hosted by MOLLY & RYAN. This shocks everyone because they know, as do we, that they are NOT hosting a party at the high school. The Clearwood Crew and the Lake Stevens come together to talk about this situation. They agree that it may be a trap but that they must go there to investigate and possibly stop the killers.

The entire group of our thirteen main characters arrives at the high school. There is, in fact, a party going on. They walk inside and find Chris watching the event. They ask what Chris knows. Chris informs them that he just got this invitation and thought he’d come check it out. Molly informs him that they didn’t set this up. Chris is confused and asks who did. The group claims that the Ghosts are responsible for this. A furious Chris asks for confirmation if there is a possibility that the killers are here setting a trap on his students. The group confirms this.

Chris asks what they want him to do. Molly tells him to look all over the school for anyone who doesn’t belong. Chris pulls out his baton and says, “Will do!” Chris runs off to find the the killers. Molly suggests that they split up. She assigns; Sam and herself will find a way to turn the power off, Ryan and Ginger looking outside, Mickey and Craig looking around the halls, Bruce and Adam in the East side of the school, Dane and Lucy is to look like they’re having fun and dancing as not to attract attention while looking around the dancers for someone out of place, and Hayden can do whatever he feels he can do.

Everyone agrees with their assignment and separates to do what they must do. As Ryan and Ginger head for the main entrance, they find the JAYS coming by with drinks. The JAYS tells Ryan that he’s not that much of a loser after all for setting up this party. They tell him that they’ve underestimated him all this time and thanks him for the party. Not wanting to cause any problems, Ryan plays along and thanks them for their compliments. Despite trying to go outsides, the JAYS pull Ryan and Ginger into the party to drink and party with them like they were friends with each other all along.

As Mickey and Craig head for the halls, Craig says that he needs to go to the bathroom. Mickey asks if he needs him to go with him. Craig chuckles and says that he can manage alone. They kiss before Craig leaves. Mickey continues to look around for the killer, pulling out his taser that he brought from home. Meanwhile, Craig goes into the bathroom. As he walks in, we find -- GHOSTFACE -- coming out from the darkness and walking into the bathroom. Craig walks into a stall while Ghostface hides being the wall of a stall. Craig is unaware of his presence.

Meanwhile, on the dance floor, Dane and Lucy are dancing while looking around for anything out of place. But there is nothing out of place. Everything appears fine. Molly and Sam are watching the dancing and looking around the sidelines. There is nothing going on. Back at the bathroom, Craig finishes his business and goes to the sink. He looks down from the mirror to wash his hands. After he finishes, he turns the faucet off, and looks up to find -- GHOSTFACE. The killer grabs Craig’s hair and slams his face against the mirror multiple times.

The glass shatters and breaks as Craig’s face is slammed against it multiple times. Aside from the trauma to his face being bashed, broken glass cuts through his face and eyes. Ghostface is too strong for Craig to fight off. Ghostface is brutal in his slamming of Craig’s face. After all the glass has been broken off, Craig face is now being slammed against the wall, which is hard. Eventually, Craig stops moving and his blood is smeared all over the wall. Craig Nelson, boyfriend of Mickey and an old friend of Ryan’s from Lake Stevens, is dead.

## Chapter 8

Back on the dance floor, everyone is still having a good time while our main characters are confused. The drunken JAYS go into the bathroom, laughing and giggling. But upon walking into the bathroom, they find Craig’s body. They freak out and run out screaming. They run to the dance floor and announce that there is a dead body in the bathroom. At first everyone, but our main characters, laugh at them as they think it’s a joke. Then Jacob is impaled from behind with a sword. He goes down. Jacob, one of three of the Jays, is dead.

People start screaming and running when Brandonface reveals himself into the dancing crowd. This causes Molly and Sam to be separated by people running into them. Meanwhile, John attempts to throw a box full of beer at Brandonface. But Brandonface slashes his chest, killing this second Jay. Brandon suddenly feels a bunch of beer cans being thrown at him by Justin. He approaches Justin, who berates him for killing his friends. Brandonface slashes the sword across his throat. Blood spurts out of his threat. Justin, the leader of the Jays, is dead.

Having heard about the killings on the dance floor, Mickey runs into the bathroom and finds his boyfriend’s dead body. He runs over to him and sobs over his death. Bruce, Tommy, and Adam find him. They tell Mickey that they have to leave. They are able to force their friend up and run out of the bathroom. Meanwhile, Brandonface has just killed another partier. He turns his attention to Dane and Lucy. Dane protects his girlfriend by standing in front of her. Brandonface slashes Dane’s face, killing him. Then he stabs Lucy in the chest, thus killing her as well. Dane Randall and Lucy Cooper, the new friends of the Clearwood Crew, are both dead.

Bruce, Mickey, Tommy, and Adam finds an unconscious Chris. As they approach him, he regains consciousness. They ask him what happened. Chris informs them that Ghostface attacked him when he came out of the bathroom. The four Lake Stevens friends help Chris up and carries him outside. Meanwhile, with all of the others gone, Brandonface goes for Molly. But before he can get to her, Sam jumps in front of her, which leads to Brandonface slashing him in the chest. But this is not fatal. Sam falls to the floor. Molly screams for him.

Brandonface isn’t sure if he has killed Sam or not. So he goes to finish him off. But before he can, Molly grabs a metal lunch tray and proceeds to beat Brandonface over the head with it. Before Molly can go for a fatal blow, Brandonface asks her if she wants to know who he is and why he’s doing this. Molly stops so that he can reveal himself. Brandonface lifts his mask up and reveals himself to be -- HAYDEN CAMPBELL.

This reveal shocks Molly. Hayden speaks the most iconic Scream killer line; “Surprise!” Molly asks why he would do this. Hayden says that unlike his predecessor (Patrick Villane) or the other two killers (Ghostface and Chromeface), he doesn’t have a personal motive. He just enjoys killing people. He did all of this for the thrill of killing people. After Molly had killed Patrick in the previous killing spree, Chromeface was desperate for a new Brandonface. So they recruited him to fill in their void. But even Hayden knew that he lacked the passion, heart, and soul of Brandonface that Patrick had but didn’t care. Hayden was just happy to be apart of this.

Hayden asks Molly if she’s happy now. Molly says “NO!” then proceeds to beat the unmasked and vulnerable Hayden with the metal lunch tray. Hayden’s head is destroyed by this. Blood, flesh, and brain matter is splattered everywhere. Molly stops to look at what she’s done. Hayden Campbell, the Brandonface of this story and former friend of the Clearwood Crew, is dead.

## Chapter 9

Later the police show up and wheel out the bodies. SHERIFF JIM “HOPPER” BYERS (40s) interviews Molly about the events. The other survivors also talk to the police about the massacre. Since witnesses claim that Hayden was the killer and that Molly killed him in self-defense, Molly is let go. Sam is sent to the hospital for his injuries but he’ll be okay. However, he’ll be out of the action for the rest of the story. Ryan and Ginger give Molly a ride home. Upon arriving home, she runs into Morgan, who was NOT present during the massacre.

Morgan asks Molly if she’s okay. Molly confirms that she is. But that many of her friends have been killed and that Hayden was Brandonface. Molly proceeds to cry and Morgan comforts her. Molly asks Morgan why he wasn’t with them tonight, stating that they could have used him against Brandonface and Ghostface. Morgan admits that he’s been talking to someone (a girl) and that he’s leaving to go see her right now. Morgan and Molly hug each other. Molly wishes him luck as he leaves. After Morgan leaves, Molly goes inside the house.

Molly takes a nice hot shower before going to bed. An hour after going to bed, she wakes up after hearing a loud sound like glass breaking. Curious and suspicious, Molly gets out of bed, walks out of her bedroom, and goes downstairs. Molly looks around her house until she reaches the family room. She is shocked and horrified to find -- BOTH OF HER PARENTS TIED TO A CHAIR. Both Sarah and Kyle are scared. But even more horrified once Molly walks into the room. Molly is about to run to them when -- GHOSTFACE walks into the room.

Ghostface is carrying the same bat that he used to kill Mario with earlier. Some of Mario’s blood is still dried up onto the bat. Ghostface says hello to Molly, who begs him to let her parents go. Ghostface refuses to do, saying that she needs to be punished for killing Hayden. Ghostface admits that Hayden was stupid, weak, and lacked the personal passion of a Ghost. But he was very valuable to them. Killing him meant more work and pain for Ghostface and Chromeface. So by orders of Chromeface, Ghostface is to kill one of the parents.

Molly, Sarah, and Kyle all scream in response to this. Somebody is going to die. But who? Ghostface says that it’s up to Molly to decide who is allowed to live and who is to die. But Molly cannot do this. She tells Ghostface that he can’t make her decide this. But Ghostface says that if she doesn’t that he’ll decide for her. Molly thinks hard. Both parents, not willing to let the other die, both muffle to “Take me.” Both parents are brave about it. This hurts Molly, who cannot decide who to choose. A frustrated Ghostface tells her that he’s now going to choose for her.

Ghostface plays “Eenie, Meenie, Miny, Mo” with the parents. All the while, Molly is begging him not to do this. But he ignores her as he reaches to, “My mother told me to pick the very best one and you are…” We get CLOSEUP SHOTS of MOLLY, SARAH, and KYLE as the scene becomes very intense and suspenseful as we wait to see the fate of the parents. We hear Ghostface say “IT!” without seeing who he chooses. Molly screams “NO!”

BASH! -- IT’S SARAH!

Ghostface proceeds to bash Sarah over the head with the bat much to the horror of both Molly and Kyle. Sarah is out before she can feel the pain of the rest of the beating. Molly screams bloody murder over the sight of her adoptive mother being brutally and viciously beaten to death. Sarah’s blood, flesh, and brain matter splatters all over her husband and daughter. Sarah Christensen, wife of Kyle and adoptive mother of Molly and Morgan, is dead. Kyle faints over the sight of his dead wife and so does Molly. Ghostface laughs as he leaves them behind to suffer.

## Chapter 10

In the aftermath of the massacre at the high school and the murder of Sarah Christensen, Ryan has built a “Murder Board” on his wall. Now a RIP is placed under Craig’s face on the group photo. There are also pictures of the latest victims Dane, Lucy, the Jays, and Sarah placed on the board. A picture of Hayden is placed under the label, “Brandonface.” Two more labels next to “Brandonface” are titled, “Chromeface” and “Ghostface.” Ryan has tears in his eyes as he stares at the murder board. His friends from both Lake Stevens and Clearwood are dying.

Both Molly and Morgan stayed home from school. Morgan went to visit his new girlfriend for comfort (we’ll meet her in Part 3) and Molly went to visit both Sam and Kyle at the hospital. Kyle was hospitalized over a beating he got when Ghostface attacked him and Sarah prior to her being killed and also for shock over the murder. Kyle is too traumatized to be released anytime soon. Sam is healing. But he won’t be able to get out for another day or so. Molly tells Sam that she plans on meeting with the others to declare war on the Three Ghosts.

Sam tells her that he wishes that he could be there to help her. Molly tells him that the only way that he could help her is to get better so that they can be together again once she and their friends finally defeat the Three Ghosts. Sam smiles and says that sounds really nice. He says that he hopes that they finally kill those “Motherfuckers.” Molly and Sam kiss each other. Molly tells Sam that she loves him and Sam tells her that he loves her, too. Molly says that she’ll come visit him later. She gives both her boyfriend and father one last look before leaving the hospital.

At Ryan’s house, both the Clearwood Crew and Lake Stevens group are meeting together. They all decide that they’re tired of letting the killers get to them. Molly proposes that they declare war against the remaining Three Ghosts. Mickey agrees as he’s thirsty for blood after Ghostface had killed his Craig. Ryan says that he has had friends die in the previous murder spree and now his old ones in this one. Ryan states that he wants to go to war. Bruce and Ginger support Ryan and state they will fight together. And it becomes official; they’re declaring war on the Ghosts.

Ryan gets a phone call from Ghostface. He tells them that he, too, is ready to fight in a war with them. Ryan asks him where they can meet him and his boss for this war. Ghostface chuckles and says that it’s only going to be him this time. Ghostface says that they should go to the place where it all started; Lake Stevens High School. Ryan says that they’ll be there and that he better be there, too. They hang up. Ryan informs his friends that they will go to Lake Stevens High School for their war against Ghostface. They all agree and leave for Lake Stevens.

The entire group arrives at Lake Stevens High School. Immediately upon arriving, Ryan has flashbacks of his time here. He says that it was a really good time for him. He wasn’t the “Loser geek” that he was known at first at Clearwood. The group is to be separated. Ryan and Ginger will be together in the west wing, Molly and Bruce will be together in second story, Mickey and Tommy will be together in the east wing, and Adam shall keep guard by the main entrance. They tell Adam to scream or to call them if something happens. He agrees to this assignment.

Everyone separates to their respective posts. The war is about to begin. Or more like...the bloodbath is about to commence.

## Chapter 11

The group is separated into twos except for Adam. Ryan and Ginger are at the west wing, Molly and Bruce are in the second floor, Mickey and Tommy are at east wing, and Adam is standing by the main entrance. Adam’s job is to wait for Ghostface and to take him out before he walks into the building. However, what he doesn’t know is that -- GHOSTFACE IS ALREADY THERE. As Adam stands by, staring at the main door -- Ghostface sneaks out from a closed door and sneaks up on him. He covers Adam’s mouth and the two struggle. Ghostface stabs Adam in the back multiple times. Adam Spiro, an old friend of Ryan’s from Lake Stevens, is dead.

After Ghostface releases Adam’s dead body, he heads for the east wing. Mickey and Tommy are searching around the cafeteria and kitchen for Ghostface. Both are armed with tasers. Tommy leaves the cafeteria and goes down a hallway that leads to the swimming pool. Mickey is unaware of where Tommy went. As Tommy looks around the pool, Ghostface appears out of nowhere and pushes him into the pool. Mickey hears the splashing and runs towards that direction. Ghostface grabs Tommy’s taser as Tommy reaches the surface of the water.

Ghostface aims the taser at Tommy, who realizes what is about to happen. He begs for his life. But this is ignored as Ghostface shoots Tommy with the taser. Tasers are usually not fatal. But Tommy is in the pool. And we know that water and electricity don’t mix. Tommy screams as he’s being electrocuted by the taser. He stops and his body goes down to the bottom of the pool. Tommy Murphy, an old friend of Ryan’s from Lake Stevens, is dead. Mickey finally arrives to the pool only to find Tommy’s body. The body rises up to the surface and just floats there.

Ghostface appears from behind Mickey. Feeling his presence, Mickey turns around to find the killer standing there. Ghostface raises his knife up and goes to charge at him. But Mickey thinks faster and shoots him down with his taser. Ghostface falls to the floor. Mickey chuckles, thinking that he just won and got the upperhand. Ghostface appears to be out cold. Mickey slowly and cautiously approaches him. He goes to take the mask off when -- Ghostface grabs his throat. Mickey tries to fight Ghostface off. But Ghostface slams his knife into Mickey’s temple. Mickey Montana, boyfriend of Craig and an old friend of Ryan’s from Lake Stevens, is dead.

On the second floor, Molly and Bruce are looking around for Ghostface. While they do this, they talk about their friendship with Ryan. Bruce talks about how everyone thinks that he (Bruce) is a lady’s man. Molly says that he’s a very handsome kind of guy that would be. Bruce thanks her. But he makes a confession. Bruce says that he’s in love with someone who he can’t have. Molly asks Bruce who he is in love with. And Bruce answers -- RYAN. That’s right, Bruce is gay and has been keeping it a secret for all these years. Bruce is in love with Ryan.

Bruce explains that is why he has been Ryan’s best friend for all those years. He had been trying to court him and be with him despite Ryan not being gay. He never got the chance to tell Ryan how he felt. While he did tell Ryan that he “loves” him, it always sounded like he was saying it in a brotherly way when he was really telling him how he felt without admitting his true feelings to him. But Bruce is happy for Ryan over being with Ginger and won’t get in the way of their relationship. Molly says that Bruce is a great friend to have. Bruce states that he and Molly are great friends now, which Molly agrees and accepts.

As Bruce and Molly continue to talk, Ghostface appears out of nowhere from behind Molly with his bat. He intends on knocking Molly out with it. Bruce warns Molly about him. She turns around only to be knocked out by the killer. Bruce tackles Ghostface and a fight occurs between them. They both throw punches at each other and shoves each other around. Eventually, Ghostface kicks Bruce in the balls, which makes him gasps in pain, and grabs at his balls. With Bruce distracted by this, Ghostface proceeds to stab him multiple times in the chest. Bruce Taylor, leader of the Lake Stevens group and Ryan’s best friend, is dead.

Ghostface makes sure that Molly is unconscious and not actually dead. He drags the unconscious Molly off screen. It’s time for the next phase.

## Chapter 12

Ryan and Ginger are still at the west wing and looking around for Ghostface. They are startled in a JUMP SCARE when Ryan’s phone rings. Ryan answers it. It’s Ghostface, who tells him that he just killed all of his friends except for Molly. But he admits that he has her. Ryan asks Ghostface what he has done with Molly. Ghostface says that he has her in the library and that she’s waiting for them to rescue her. Ghostface tells him to come to the library for the big finale between them. Ghostface hangs up. Ryan tells Ginger that they have to go to the library to save Molly.

The couple run back to the main section of the school, which leads to the library. They go inside and look around for Molly. They eventually find her tied to a chair at the other end of the large library. They go to untie her, when she muffles that, “He’s here (Ghostface).” Ryan and Ginger turns around to find -- GHOSTFACE. Ryan confronts him and asks him who he is. And with that, Ghostface slowly lifts up his mask. Ghostface is revealed to be -- CHRISTOPHER “CHRIS” OSBURN -- The School Security Guard. Chris grins and says, “Hello, students. Surprise!”

Ryan, Ginger, and Molly are shocked and horrified at this reveal. How could this be? The badass security guard that all the kids like is Ghostface? Chris rips his costume off much like Mickey did in Scream 2 as he taunts his remaining targets. Chris goes on about how much fun it’s been to chase them around since last year. This confirms that Chris Osburn has been Ghostface and killing people since the previous story. He’s the one who killed Marcus Gardner, Zoe Benson, Kevin Wise, and attacked Ryan and Ginger at the theater in the previous story.

Ryan asks him why he’s doing this, why he killed his friends, and why he is targeting him specifically. Chris smiles and says that’s the best part about all of this. He asks Ryan if he remembers Claire Carruthers. Ryan confirms that he does as we have FLASHBACKS of moments between Ryan and Claire from the opening chapter. Chris reminds him that Claire died from drug and alcohol addiction, which Ryan confirms that he remembers. Ryan points out to Chris that he had a crush on her and kissed her at his farewell party.

Chris blatantly accuses Ryan and his friends of killing Claire. Ryan says that the drugs killed her, not them. Chris points out that it was Ryan and his friends who introduced the drugs and alcohol to her that night. Chris points out that she even told them that she was already unhealthy and had a bad liver. Ryan says that he remembers this. But Ryan also says that he was against the drug activity that night. But Chris claimed that if he was so against it and that if he truly cared about Claire like he claims that he did, then he would have prevented her from drinking and taking drugs, which could have saved her life.

Ryan tears up and declares that he wishes that he did. Chris tells him that he should have because she’d still be alive and so would his friends. Chris says that the day that Claire died was the day that the “good guy” inside of him died. Chris admits to being evil and soulless as a result of Claire’s death. Chris claims that everything he was and who he was died with her. Ryan asks him how he knew Claire. Chris begins to cry as he reveals a picture of TEENAGE CHRIS with BABY CLAIRE. Chris reveals that Claire was his daughter.

Chris tells them that he had just turned thirteen years old. He was old enough to stay home alone. But his parents wanted an older person to babysit his younger siblings. So that’s when he met fifteen year Rachel Carruthers -- The babysitter. Chris says that she was the most beautiful girl that he’d ever seen. One night, she was heartbroken when her boyfriend left her for another girl. So Chris comforted her and they had sex. She gave birth to their daughter Claire in November of that year. Rachel and Chris were forbidden to see each other afterwards.

But they shared joint custody of the child while Claire took her mother’s last name as Claire’s grandparents/Rachel’s parents were her guardians. Despite being so young, Chris and Rachel were good parents to Claire. Chris states that his daughter was everything to him. She was Daddy’s little girl. He wanted to raise her to be different from her parents so that she wouldn’t make the same mistake of getting pregnant at a young age. But then she attended Ryan’s farewell party and got introduced to drugs and alcohol.

A few weeks later, Claire died from a dangerous mix of drugs and alcohol that she became addicted to. Chris reveals that he had found her in the bathroom with heroin, coke, and a mix of alcoholic drinks. After realizing that she became addicted to the drugs and alcohol from the farewell party, Chris blamed Ryan, Bruce, and their friends for introducing it to her. So the Lake Stevens Group would become his targets. He was approached by Chromeface, who offered to help him avenge her death if he’d join him in reigniting the legacy of the Three Ghosts. Chris loved the idea and accepted it.

Chris grins and says now that the Lake Stevens group is dead except for Ryan, he shall finish it now with Ryan, maybe even kill his little girlfriend (Ginger), then take Molly to Chromeface as planned before. Chris raises his knife up and charges at Ryan. Chris jumps him and attempts to stab him. But Ryan is fighting to keep his wrist up to keep the knife away from him. Ginger tries to pull him off of Ryan. But Chris whacks her across the face. Angry by the assault on his girlfriend, Ryan punches Chris in the face and kicks him off. Ryan surprisingly starts beating Chris, despite being weak. As they fight, Ginger unties Molly from the chair.

Chris gives him the same whack across the face that he gave Ginger. Chris hovers over Ryan and stabs him in the chest. Ryan screams out as Chris chuckles. Chris tells him to, “Say ‘Hello’ to your friends, you daughter killer.” Chris goes to stab Ryan again. But, suddenly, Chris gasps in pain before he can stab Ryan. We find that Ginger has stabbed him in back of the head with a pair of scissors. Chris falls off of Ryan and onto the floor. Christopher “Chris” Osburn, father of the late Claire Carruthers, former security guard for Clearwood High School, and the Ghostface killer of both Part 1 and 2, is dead.

Ginger moves over to her injured boyfriend. She places him into her arms and tells him that he’ll be okay. But Ryan already knows that isn’t true. Ginger begins to cry and tells him that everything will be okay. They’ll call an ambulance and take him to the hospital. She believes that the doctors will fix him up. But Ryan states that it’ll be too late. Ryan tells Ginger that he loves her. Ginger tells Ryan that she loves him, too. Ryan tells her that he’ll always be with her. His eyes rolls back. Ginger begs for Ryan to stay with her and not to leave her.

Ginger and Molly sobs as they realize the truth -- Ryan McKinley, boyfriend of Ginger, the last remaining friend from Lake Stevens, and the first Clearwood Crew survivor to die, is dead. Ginger lays her head on her dead’s boyfriend’s chest. Molly closes Ryan’s eyes. The two final girls mourn Ryan’s death together.

## Chapter 13

We find the Clearwood Crew; Molly, Sam (bandaged with a sling), Morgan, Kyle, and Ginger, who is in front of them with a box, walking on a sandy surface. We come to realize that they’re at the same beach in Lake Stevens from the opening chapter. This is where Ryan’s farewell party took place. It’s where Ryan made out with Claire Carruthers. It’s where Bruce Taylor introduced to drugs to Claire. It’s where the Lake Stevens Group is remembered for the most. It is revealed that the box that Ginger is holding contains Ryan’s cremated remains.

Ginger throws Ryan’s ashes out to the water. The cremated remains flies into the water and is washed away. Ginger drops to her knees into the water and sobs. The rest of the group is crying as well. We find to the side of them are twelve crosses with pictures of the fallen Lake Stevens friends; Ryan McKinley, Bruce Taylor, Claire Carruthers, Mickey Montana, Craig Nelson, Tommy Murphy, Adam Spiro, Albert Richards, Mario Sanchez, and the three unnamed friends who were killed by Ghostface/Chris Osburn.

NOTE: Claire Carruthers is mentioned as a fallen Lake Stevens friend despite not being killed Ghostface (her own father).

At the end of the line of crosses is an enlarged version of the Lake Stevens Group Photo from the Farewell Party. But without the RIP markings under their faces. It is now do we realize that all twelve people in the picture are dead now. There is nobody left from the Lake Stevens Group. Meanwhile, the Clearwood Crew also mourns their own losses; Sarah Christensen, Dane Farewell, and Lucy Cooper. They are in debate rather or not to mourn Hayden Campbell, who was Brandonface this time around. They also decide to mourn the JAYS; Justin, John, and Jacob, despite them being bullies of theirs.

With both Brandonfaces and Ghostface dead, Chromeface is now alone. But they know, as do we, that like last time, he will recruit another Brandonface and Ghostface. But next time won’t be about them. It will be about Chromeface’s goal in taking on Molly Christensen once and for all.

## Confirmed Facts

* Like with Brandonface in the previous story, this story will focus on Ghostface, his motive and eventual revealed identity.
* One of the survivors aside from Molly will be the main focus.
* The revelation of Ghostface will explain why his particular target was specifically targeted near the end of Part 1 and why Ghostface stopped another person from killing him in Part 1.
* Ghostface will be revealed at the end of this story. However, he is a new character in this story, therefore, not somebody we met in Part 1.
* All survivors will return.
* A semi-survivor (as in not considered "Clearwood Crew" but appeared and survived in Part 1) will die in this story.
* A major backstory including new characters from that past will be included in this story.

## Body Count

NOTE: Ghostface dies before his final victim succumbs to their wound, which explains why he is credited as the killer to the final victim despite dying before the final victim dies.

## The Clearwood Crew

* Molly Christensen
* Sam McBride
* Morgan Christensen
* GInger Lane
