## Murder

Annie joined her friends at Melanie Hart's house following Chester Grayson's funeral. She chatted with her friends, laughing and having a good time until her boyfriend, Zach McKay, called her and she excused herself from the party. Not soon after, she snuck off to a spare bedroom to sneak Zach into the house. The pair began to makeout before Zach hit her when she resisted his sexual advances, showing his abusive side. After demanding he get her a drink, Annie made her way to the kitchen quickly, fearing what Zach would do if she took too long, she hurried to get his drink but was stopped when Melanie noticed her acting strange, Annie revealed that she'd snuck Zach into the house and that he had hit her. Infuriated, Melanie confronted Zach and twisted his arm out of place and kicked him out of her house, Annie was relieved and thanked Melanie for being there for her.

Annie was later exposed to the buzzing signal by Audrey Harper.

The next day, Annie and Elle Parkes decided to head into town together to get snacks and drinks for the party. While Annie used the restroom, Elle noticed a strange man watching them. When they saw that he was wielding a knife, the girls were spooked and hurried back to the house, explaining what they'd seen to the group. Not long after that, Zach's body came flying through a window and caused Annie to start to hyperventilate, having an emotional breakdown. Melanie comforted her, Annie soon returning the favor when Melanie's boyfriend (Toby Deveaux) was also killed.

The remaining group retreated deeper into the house, Elle and Annie splitting off from the group and finding an escape route through a window.
