## Storyline

Hayley Campbell was young, sweet and naive with a loyal side. Or so it seemed. She hid a dark back story that nobody seemingly knew about. Something later revealed is that her surname isn't really Campbell, it's Bennett. She is the sister of the deceased Charlotte Bennett; who was supposedly murdered by her lover's wife upon discovering the affair, and later buried in a shallow grave

Hayley knew this but said nothing. Her sister's killer got away with it; she was never caught; never suspected. Hayley intended to pay the wife back with some revenge of her own. She enlisted her only other family member who knew the truth about Charlotte's death, Sean Hayes, and together they plotted and plotted the perfect revenge.

They knew the wife's son; in fact they had pretended to be friends with him for quite a while. When the two teenagers, Hayley and Sean were ready; they struck. They murdered three not-so-innocent teenagers upon breaking and entering into an abandoned, crumbling school whilst wearing the Gas Mask outfit; used to conceal their identities. Those teenagers were friends with our Final Boy and main target of Hayley and Sean, Austin Thomas.

One of those teenagers was Austin's boyfriend. Hayley and Sean murdered Austin's boyfriend just to torment him; thus torture his mother. They enacted their plan down to the nail. However a hiccup occurred and Sean was killed in gunfight against his opponent, Austin. This truly infuriated Hayley, who only felt deeper into her insanity. She became more and more intent to torment Austin; almost forgetting about her grudge against his mother.

Hayley, in costume took Austin's mother and best friend hostage and tortured him with the option of saving one or the other. Both pleaded for Austin to spare the other. Austin knew the truth about his mother at this point, but still chose to save her. This made Hayley even more angry. Angrier than ever before.

This only added to the bloodshed; Hayley went onto committing a massacre at the annual town carnival; taking out major figures in the town such as Mayor Winningham and Sheriff Young for their faults in not catching her sister's killer. Her massacre resulted in her reveal to Austin; only shattering the only trust he had left for people. He had always viewed Hayley as a good person; as his friend; as a sister figure. But no, he soon realized how wrong he was. Thus, engaging their final battle.

Upon being close to death, Austin's friend Nicole Smith saved his life by axing Hayley to death with her very own axe; the very axe Hayley used in her murder spree earlier in the evening. Austin, feeling so much hate and anger built up inside; finished Hayley off by taking a final swing at her with the axe. Finally killing her. But what Austin and Nicole didn't know was that was a shadowy figure lurking in the shadows; watching and observing; swearing to get THEIR revenge too; Thus meaning this wasn't over, which leads us on to Season 2.
